In my experience, Luminar Neo works best for portraits and scenic shots. The filters use a set of pre-configured presets that change depending on the subject of the picture. It is because Luminar Neo comes with a set of more than 60 filters and uses artificial intelligence to enhance your photos with just a click. The before and after photo you can see in the Affinity Photo section took me around 5 minutes to edit, while the picture you see below took me just one click. That is a deal that I am going to take any day. Since I switched from Affinity Photo to Luminar, I have more than halved the time I used to spend on photo editing without any drop in quality. Luminar Neo is a full-fledged pro photo editing tool for Mac which is also the easiest to use. Add that to the fact that it's a one-time payment app, and you have a photo editing app for Mac that has no competition in the market. The app also offers an enormous library of brushes and support for breathtaking compositions with unlimited layers and effects. Now you can shoot in RAW and enjoy an end-to-end 32-bit photo editing experience with no loss in quality. ![]() The version 2 update has enhanced the app's RAW photo editing capabilities. There’s also support for extensive history and users can easily undo/redo changes up to 8000 steps. I am also fond of its non-destructive photo editing approach which keeps the original photo intact until you manually override it with your edited photo. While there is a bit of learning curve, which is understandable, the developers offer tons of written and video tutorials which is more than enough to get anyone started. It also features an uncluttered UI with clearly marked tools which are both easy to find and use.Īffinity Photo 2 also brings support for extensive keyboard shortcuts which makes the photo editing more enjoyable and fast once you put some time into learning the software.

Overnight heat and the heat index were key factors in Chicago’s 1995 heat wave, when more than 700 residents died. Minding that advice is especially important when nighttime and early morning lows approach high temperature records, she said. “We can beat it by getting inside near an air conditioner, staying hydrated by drinking lots of water and wearing moisture-wicking clothes,” Brink said. Of course, there are ways to combat the heat. In “direct sunlight, the heat index value can be increased by up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit,” according to the National Weather Service.Īnd the climate crisis is expected to increase exposure to dangerous heat index levels by 50% to 100% in much of the tropics and by up to 10 times across much of the globe, according to a 2022 study published in the journal Nature. “When we, as meteorologists, forecast the high temperatures or the heat index, that is in the shade,” Brink said. And a forecast high temperature of 97 degrees, with relative humidity of 71%, will make it feel like 105. For example, right now there’s only a one-degree difference between the feels-like temperature upstairs and the actual temperature (69.8 vs. So, a place with a predicted temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity of 73% can expect it to feel like 111 degrees, she said.

This action can now be performed with a two-finger pinch gesture. Pinch to change aspect ratioĪpple has further reduced visible chrome by removing an on-screen button for the ‘fill display action’. This saves time as you don’t need to tap twice anymore to pause in earlier versions of iOS, you would need to tap once to show the controls, and then precisely tap the revealed pause button to actually stop playback. This means you can tap in the dead center of the display to quickly pause the video. Regardless of whether the pause button is visible or not, the tap target is still active. In fact, Apple has further emphasized these transport controls with some interaction shortcuts. The most common transport controls, like play and pause, have been lifted out of their old bottom toolbar placement and feature prominently in the center of the display, with easy-to-tap big buttons. ![]() The volume and time progress sliders have also been simplified, resembling thin bars without a visible nub. The previous top and bottom blurred-capsule toolbars have been replaced by simple sets of floating white buttons.

Redesigned controls overlayįollowing tvOS’s lead, content titles are more readily visible with bigger font treatments labelling metadata like show and episode names (and a chevron reveals a short description). The overall changes are inspired by Apple learned with the overhauled system video player released last year on Apple TV with tvOS 15. Adoption of the new system video player is automatic, requiring no code changes by third-party app developers, although apps that use custom video experiences will obviously not benefit from these changes.Īfter several years of staying the same, the video player is completely rethought in iOS 16. IOS 16 is currently in developer beta and will be available for iPhone and iPad users later this year, probably in September. Here’s everything new to try in the iOS 16 video player. The redesign brings a drastically modernized UI, as well as some new features and enhancements.Īpple uses the system video player in all of its apps, of course, but many third-party apps do too so these changes take effect across your entire iPhone and iPad experience. The default video player gets a big upgrade with iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. It includes the current state seal, slightly tweaked from the 1858 original, which depicts a Native American riding off into the sunset while a white settler plows his field with his rifle leaning on a nearby stump. Minnesota’s current flag dates from 1957, an update from the 1893 original. "It is my greatest hope that this new flag can finally represent our state and all of its people properly - that every Minnesotan of every background, including the Indigenous communities and tribal nations who’ve been historically excluded, can look up at our flag with pride and honor and see themselves within it.” “It’s an achievement that I hope brings a lot of unity and pride to our land, and I will hold that fact with great honor for the rest of my life,” Prekker said in a statement read to the commission. The new flag is a revised version of a design submitted by Andrew Prekker, 24, of Luverne, who said he was grateful and amazed for the “rare privilege” of being able to contribute to state history. ![]() Symmetry and simplicity won out over other versions, including ones that included a green stripe for the state's agricultural heritage. But he acknowledged it could mean other things to other people. The star echoes Minnesota's state motto of “Star of the North.” The commission's chairman, Luis Fitch, said that to him, the light blue represents the Mississippi River, “the most important river in the United States,” pointing to the North Star. Unless the Legislature rejects them, the new flag and seal will automatically become official April 1, 2024, when Minnesota observes Statehood Day.

With both alphas and betas, you have an opportunity to influence our development process by using the new features and providing feedback via forums and bug reports.īecause there may be feature-stability issues with these early releases, we do not recommend them for projects in production, and we highly recommend that you back up any project before you open it with an alpha or beta release.īoth our alpha and beta releases are open to everyone, so no signup is required. As such, alphas come with a higher stability risk than beta releases, which are feature complete and receive only stabilizing updates. While a TECH stream version is in alpha, we release updates with new features on a weekly basis until we reach feature completeness. At the same time, the features get tested collectively for the first time. During the alpha phase, we’re progressively adding all the new features that are scheduled to be part of the final release. Packages that have been verified to work with the last TECH release of a year (e.g., 2019.3) will also remain supported in the LTS version that will be based on it (e.g., 2019.4).Īlphas are the first public releases of a new TECH stream version of Unity. This means that they will receive updates that won’t introduce any breaking changes, as well as bug fixes, for at least as long as the version that they were verified for is supported. ![]() Verified packages are supported to the same extent as the Unity versions that they have been verified for (see “What is the TECH stream?” and “What’s an LTS release?” below for more information). Verified packages have undergone additional testing and have been verified to work with a specific version of Unity, and with all the other packages that are verified for that version. Functionality and APIs can still change and backward compatibility is not guaranteed. ![]() They’re still evolving and likely to contain bugs.

Unusually large olfactory bulbs suggest that the birds had an enhanced sense of smell, which the research suggests may be because they relied on it to find food on the ground as they were unable to fly. Researchers used a well-preserved dodo skull from London’s Natural History Museum and used high-resolution scanning to work out how the large the brain would have been. “Today, they are almost exclusively known for becoming extinct, and I think that’s why we’ve given them this reputation of being dumb,” said Eugenia Gold, the lead author of the paper, a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History’s Richard Gilder Graduate School. This combined with the introduction of invasive species to the island meant that the doomed birds died out less than 100 years after they were discovered. With no fear of humans, the dodos were easily herded onto boats to be used as meat for sailors’ supper. Native to the island of Mauritius, the flightless bird was last seen in 1662. ![]() By following the steps outlined above, anyone can wire a 30 amp 120v plug with ease.

The black wire would skip the 220v plug and go directly to the 110v plug. I’ve wired an example for a visual illustration of how a 110v plug would tie in. Double check your owners manual for your machine as always to make sure the colors and diagrams match the one seen below. In that case pick the wire tou aren’t using and just cap it off, wire the welder for the plug you want to use.ĭiagrams below. Most of you with crushed or sliced MVP plugs likely just want your welder to work again on a single voltage that you use most. Commercial plug covers are available to insulate the plug not in use and if you wire both plugs at once to get the function back of your destroyed MVP plug it is a must to use them for safety. Hence why the MVP system plugs in one at a time. This manual system leaves one issue, live open pins on the plug that is not plugged in. Red and green may be tapped into each other. White from the welder would only go to the 220v plug. This would mean that black from the welder would only go to the 110v plug. To do this manually - IE: using two standard plugs - you simply wire each plug as it should be, and tap the wires that are common between them. The 4 pin MVP plug is internally wired to ignore one or the other and place the correct wires in their respective spots by a means of crossing over pins inside to achieve the correct output.

This information was unavailable to me when I looked for it last month so I’m putting it here for others. Sometimes MVP plugs get damaged on the machine side and you have to hard wire the welder. So, I guess you could use 10 ga wire with a 60 amp breaker if it was only used for a welder with 50 or less duty cycle.
