5/17/2023 0 Comments Denver snowfall last 24 hours![]() ![]() ![]() Old-timers in town will tell you that this snow was one of the clearest memories of their childhood: The world was fresh and new, and the only fighting left to do was done with snowballs. World War II had just come to a close, the post-war economy was just beginning to swing upward, and Denver got 30.4 inches of snow, covering the streets and preventing the town's streetcars - then at the height of their use as methods of mass transit - from taking anyone pretty much anywhere. The Queen City of the Plains essentially became The Shining’s Overlook Hotel, only for real, minus the ax-wielding Jack Nicholson. Over four days in 1906, 22.7 inches of snow fell along the Front Range, and newspapers on the coasts reported that the monster storm had taken down telegraph lines and completely isolated cities like Denver. This, of course, was nearly twenty years before the Westin Hotel opened, so marooned would-be travelers did the best they could, sleeping where they could find space, with purses for pillows and coats for blankets and a list of rightful complaints a mile long. Still-shiny-new Denver International Airport got hit hard by the October 1997 snowstorm, when the all-weather airport was completely shut down, stranding over 4,000 passengers with 21.9 inches of snowfall. Ah, 1983: When Alaska came to Denver for Turkey Day and refused to leave. What’s worse (and rare for Denver!) was that the snow stuck around for more than two months, refusing to fully melt. On Thanksgiving, you’re supposed to go over the river and through the wood to grandmother’s house, right? The only way you were going to do that on Thanksgiving 1983 was if you actually had a sleigh, because the 21.5 inches that fell kept you from traveling in almost anything else. But the main problem was the tangle at DIA, and not for the last time. Hundreds of motorists had to be rescued from roadsides around the metro area, and drifting became an issue. The snowfall measured 20.7 inches, and completely screwed holiday travelers not only here in Colorado, but across the country, as the domino effect of airline cancellations kicked in. The most recent date on the list of the top ten Denver snowstorms was the pre-Christmas 2006 blizzard. It’s a pretty good bet that a footand a half of snow was tougher to handle back then. This particular record was set only 25 years after Denver was founded, and only weeks after Thomas Edison installed the first electric lighting system in New Jersey. This is the earliest date in the top ten, though that probably has something to do with when people began keeping records. The first month of 1883 went out in a white blur here in Denver, with 19.3 inches falling over a few very cold days. ![]()

![]() Some software is released using this strategy: companies use the LAME library, but obtain patent licenses. At the same time, they advise users to obtain a patent license for any relevant technologies that LAME may implement before including a compiled version of the encoder in a product. The LAME developers state that, since their code is only released in source code form, it should only be considered as an educational description of an MP3 encoder, and thus does not infringe any patent by itself when released as source code only. Distributing compiled binaries of LAME, its libraries, or programs that derive from LAME in countries that recognize those patents may be patent infringing. The developers of LAME do not themselves license the technology described by these patents. Like all MP3 encoders, LAME implements some technology covered by patents owned by the Fraunhofer Society and other entities. May 2007: default variable bitrate encoding speed is vastly improved.LAME no longer requires user to use complicated parameters to produce good results. December 2003: substantial improvement to default settings, along with improved speed.LAME is not a patch anymore, but a full encoder. May 2000: the last pieces of the original ISO demonstration code are removed.November 1999: LAME switches from a GPL license to an LGPL license, which allows using it with closed-source applications.Soon after this, LAME also became able to target lower sampling frequencies from MPEG-2. June 1999: The first variable bitrate implementation is released.May 1999: a new psychoacoustic model (gpsycho) is released along with LAME 3.0.LAME Mp3 Info Tag revision 1 SpecificationsĪ few key improvements, in chronological order:.LAME library for Audacity – recommended for the Audacity free and GPL audio editor.Mark Taylor then started pursuing increased quality in addition to better speed, and released version 3.0 featuring gpsycho, a new psychoacoustic model he developed. Mike Cheng eventually left leadership and started working on tooLAME (an MP2 encoder). The project quickly became a team project. That branch (a patch against the reference sources) became Lame 2.0. His goal was only to speed up the dist10 sources, and leave its quality untouched. After some quality concerns raised by others, he decided to start again from scratch based on the “dist10″ MPEG reference software sources. Around mid-1998, Mike Cheng created LAME 1.0 as a set of modifications against the “8Hz-MP3″ encoder source code. The name LAME is a recursive acronym for “ LAME Ain’t an MP3 Encoder”. LAME is a free software codec used to encode/compress audio into the lossy MP3 file format. ![]() 5/17/2023 0 Comments Twinkle lights outdoor![]() Post: Backyard DIYs We Would Quit Our Job For If you have a wide open space this may call for setting up posts. If you have trees or a fence you plan to string your lights from, Identify the best branches or posts to do this from. If you plan to attach them to your house look at your roofline and sought boards for solid attachment areas. Identify the most accessible locations to hang your lights from. Your basic bistro lights generally allow you to connect up to 5 strings of lights together giving you about 60 feet of lights to work with. ![]() This should be something you can find on the box of lights you have purchased. Identify the most accessible power source and determine how many strings of lights it will support if they are strung together. Post: Handcrafted Wedding In Vermont Q: What’s the best layout?Ī: What does your space look like? This is a matter of letting your space do most of the decision making. Great looking string lights, but replacing these bulbs isn’t cheap. These will give you a warm glowing light as well with the added old-timey ambiance of a bulb that shows off the glowing orange filament that lights them up inside. You can also get LED twinkle light bulbs that are great for energy efficiency, although they do tend to give off a bit of a cooler blue light.Įdison bulbs are your higher end pseudo-vintage looking string lights. Twinkle lights, (generally used to decorate during Christmas) can come in both glass or plastic as well as a wide variety of light options. Post: Unique Love Make For A Unique Wedding ( I have several strings of these hanging up in my dining room as ambiance lights that are much more pleasing at night then the harsh overhead light I have in that room) They give off a warm yellow glow that works for outside decor as well as indoor. ![]() But do a little research to figure out what it is you like the best.īistro string lights are generally a glass bulb and these are found just about anywhere.

It may also improve muscle contractions and reduce the perceived rate of exertion, making a workout feel easier. This allows one to exercise harder for longer and delay muscle exhaustion. Nonetheless, most studies show that these effects are short-term rather than long-lasting.Ĭaffeine may also help improve exercise performance by increasing the use of fat as fuel and preserving glucose in the muscles for longer periods of time. Although this only equates to the amount of energy in a piece of fruit, it can be meaningful in the long term. Some research shows that the stimulant may help increase metabolism by 11 percent and fat burn by 13 percent, which would mean burning an extra 70-100 calories per day. In other studies, caffeine helped lower the risk of depression and risk of suicide.Ĭaffeine is also associated with potentially boosting metabolism and fat burning capability due to the stimulation of the nervous system. In one study, participants who ingested 40-450 mg of caffeine demonstrated improved alertness, short-term memory recall, and reaction time. It does this by acting on the three neurotransmitters already discussed (adenosine, dopamine, and norepinephrine) and shifting their communication messaging.

Geospatial big data have recently gained attention from researchers and practitioners in geographic information science (GIScience) and remote sensing (RS). Along with this exponential increase in geospatial big data, the need for cloud computing and high-performance computing for modeling, analyzing, and simulating geospatial contents is also rapidly increasing. This trend will accelerate even faster as the world becomes more mobile and as unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) and satellite imagery are acquired more often and at higher resolutions. About 25 PB of data are being generated per day at Google, a significant portion of which is spatio-temporal data. The United Nations Initiative on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) estimated that 2.5 quintillion bytes of data (one quintillion bytes = 1000 petabytes (PB) 1 PB = 1000 Terabytes (TB)) are being generated every single day, a large portion of which is location-aware. The size of such data is growing rapidly, by at least 20% per year. Geospatial big data, which are collected with ubiquitous location-aware sensors that are inherently geospatial, are a significant portion of big data. We developed an interactive web application designed to allow readers to intuitively and dynamically review the publications included in this literature review.īig data approaches have been making substantial changes in science and in society at large. We then discuss some of the major challenges of integrating GEE and AI and identify several priorities for future research. In this article, we provide a systematic review of relevant literature to identify recent research that incorporates AI methods in GEE. ![]() Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are a critical enabling technology to automating the interpretation of RS imagery, particularly on object-based domains, so the integration of AI methods into GEE represents a promising path towards operationalizing automated RS-based monitoring programs. GEE also provides access to the vast majority of freely available, public, multi-temporal RS data and offers free cloud-based computational power for geospatial data analysis. Google Earth Engine (GEE) provides a scalable, cloud-based, geospatial retrieval and processing platform. Retrieving, managing, and analyzing large amounts of RS imagery poses substantial challenges. Remote sensing (RS) plays an important role gathering data in many critical domains (e.g., global climate change, risk assessment and vulnerability reduction of natural hazards, resilience of ecosystems, and urban planning). ![]() 5/17/2023 0 Comments Torrent pro tools 9 mac![]() ![]() Provided the copyright holder has given permission for the file to be shared this way it's fine, but using torrents to download content you'd otherwise have to pay for is not legal. It all depends on the content you're downloading. Torrents have a bad reputation due to piracy, but they aren't illegal in themselves and have lots of legitimate uses, including downloading open-source software and material that's in the public domain. ![]() Read our full BitTorrent review Are torrents legal? ![]() Meanwhile, impressive performance levels help to make for an enjoyable experience. We found it to be very simple and easy to use as well during testing, benefitting from a clean yet visually appealing interface with plenty of options. Still, if you’re looking for a free torrent client, uTorrent is a great option – could be a good choice if you're new to torrenting and want a client that will give you an easy introduction. You might be wondering why BitTorrent has its own torrent client when it also maintains uTorrent – especially when the BitTorrent app is a rebranded version of uTorrent.Īre you still following us? However, while the apps are functionally identical there are a few key differences: BitTorrent offers web-based seeding, commenting and reviewing, and you may find that the BitTorrent client is welcomed by private trackers that don't like uTorrent. To let you find out more about each pick, we've even included links to our reviews. That includes considering user experience, bloatware, or ads, which you can sometimes circumvent with some of the best VPNs for torrenting and even integration with other apps. We’ve highlighted what we like and dislike with each to point you to the one that meets your needs best. There are options below that are streamlined for those that just want to get started without fuss as well as ones with more advanced features. And, since we've used, tested, and reviewed many of them, we thought we'd share the best ones in this guide for your convenience. Luckily, there are excellent free torrent clients out there, offering their downloading services without charging you a single penny. That's due to the fact that the client will grab parts of that file from multiple sources and simultaneously download those different bits, then put the file together like a jigsaw to use. On the other hand, a torrent client makes faster download speeds and shorter download times possible.

He ran away, intending to make his way to North America, but he was robbed himself. He spent a short time in jail, at his father’s insistence.Īt fourteen, he stole from his parents again, this time scoring a large amount of cash from his parent’s bakery. At thirteen, he was arrested for the first time, for stealing some silver plates from his parents and selling them. He was born in July 1775, the third child of Henriette Françoise Vidocq and Nicolas Joseph François Vidocq, a baker in Arras, a town in northern France. Along the way, he also allegedly worked as a schoolteacher, though that ended when he was run out of town for dallying with some of his older female students. He became a master of disguise, on at least one occasion fleeing the law disguised as a nun. He was a card sharp and conman, lived under other identities for years, and romanced widows and actresses. He was also a scoundrel and a thief, a liar and cheat, an active soldier and a military deserter, in and out of prison constantly, charged with everything from disturbing the peace to forging public documents, and sentenced at different times to the galleys and the gallows. His life does seem to have been pretty flamboyant, that’s for sure.īut Vidocq was no angel. He’s primarily known as the founder and chief of one of the world’s first plainclothes police forces, and his clever use of disguise and surveillance to capture some of France’s most infamous and deadly criminals. Like Allan Pinkerton, who followed in his footsteps, much of Vidocq’s legacy was based on his own not always accurate (or modest) memoirs. I say “maybe” because almost everything we know about Vidocq comes from Vidocq himself and other, often contradictory sources. He also killed his first man at fourteen, and once posed as a cannibal in a traveling show. EUGÈNE FRANÇOIS VIDOCQ was the world’s first private detective, as we generally understand the term. ![]() |
