People with children and dogs in tow milled about, and everyone was smiling and having a good time. One couple was making fruit and meat-filled crepes on a propane grill, the aromas filling the air. (It's open on Sundays year-round.) Vendors were selling cheeses, meats, fruits, vegetables, breads and baked goods and offering samples of their delectable wares. Steps from the Mosaic District, Four Sisters Restaurant offers superlative Vietnamese cuisine.Ī farmers' market was the last thing I expected to find in the Mosaic District, but there it was on a blocked-off street. Many of the restaurants in the Mosaic District offer happy hours. True Food Kitchen specializes in health-conscious cuisine. ![]() There's also a Northern Outfitters store for outerwear.Įlsewhere in the district, the standouts include Nando's Peri-Peri, international cuisine with roots in Africa Brine at Mosaic, wood-fired meats and seafood and a popular bar Iron Chef House, Japanese cuisine and sushi and Cyclone Anaya's Mexican Kitchen. Later, I would note the presence of such upscale brands as Neiman Marcus Last Call, luxury clothing items Madewell, hip, stylish clothes, home goods and gifts Williams Sonoma, high-quality cookware and other kitchen items Dawn Price Baby, the full gamut of items for newborns to young children Z Gallerie, decorative gifts and luxury home items and West Elm, furniture and gifts. Anthropologie, the chic establishment that sells mostly women's fashions and gifts came next. After that came Sundance, the brick-and-mortar store known best for its catalogs of predominantly Southwestern jewelry, men's and women's clothes and art. First stop was Paper Source, a purveyor of fine stationery, cards, writing instruments, quirky gifts and refined gift wrap sold by the sheet. ![]() And, if you've had a bit too much Christmas, the Mosaic District is a great place for a quick adults-only getaway.Īfter breakfast, my wife's sister Nancy led the way down a wide, pedestrian-friendly sidewalk lined with trees desperately clinging to their last crinkled leaves. ![]() You could, I noted while we walked around in the dank, unseasonably chilly weather, shop to your heart's content here, have a great dinner and enjoy a terrific movie - the perfect escape with the kids, if you want to extend the Christmas holidays a bit (there are some neat New Year's Eve events nearby). While the Capitol Hill Ted's Bulletin sits in a neighborhood of colorful row houses, quaint shops and quiet streets where parents push baby carriages and others walk their dogs, the setting here was more urban with new rental and condominium towers surrounding the sleek retail core. The setting couldn't have been more different. But this time, we hadn't gathered at the original, slightly worn Ted's on Capitol Hill in downtown Washington this outpost was smack dab in the heart of a new retail and entertainment destination, the Mosaic District in Fairfax County that had been built on the site of a massive 1954 drive-in movie theater about 45 minutes (in traffic) from the District. My wife and I, former Virginians, had gathered with her brother and two sisters from Arlington in a standing ritual when we're in town: breakfast at the curiously named Ted's Bulletin restaurant. The table was laden with a sumptuous morning bounty: pancakes with maple syrup, eggs every which way, Texas toast, hash browns, bacon, orange juice and steaming mugs of hot chocolate and coffee.

Lossy is great for basic license release to use. You might want to save/keep the TIFF file as well, but those files will be huge and take up a lot of space. You can save it as a JPEG from GIMP, if that is what you need as your final file format. So choose the TIFF conversion when you transfer/export the image. It does make sense to use TIFF format when converting the RAW for further editing. Then you can take it into another program for further editing. So the key is to make as many adjustments as you can, while it's still in the RAW stage. This means that it's no longer a RAW file and you can't make the non-destructive RAW edits. So for you to take the photo from a RAW file in zoombrowser, into GIMP (or anywhere) the file needs to be processed into a proper image file. It seems like the default is TIFF format. But to take it further, it needs to be 'cooked' (converted into an actual image file). When you open a RAW file, in Zoombrowser for example, you can make adjustment and so on. You can see/preview the image, but that is just an embedded JPEG, not the actual image file. It's just a bunch of 'un-cooked' data from the camera. RAW (.CR2 in your case) isn't really an image format. I think you need to think about RAW files a little differently. So, in case that didn't make sense, my main question here is: For those of you who edit you RAW files in GIMP, could you walk me through how to do it. I know there are a couple of plugins you can get that let you edit RAW in GIMP, but I figured I already have zoombrowser, why get more RAW file readers? I was hoping to make these two work together if possible. ![]() If I click import on this box, the image shows up in GIMP.but did I do this right? I then get this pop up message: "TIFF IMAGE MESSAGE: Cannot handle zero number of strips." Another "Import from tiff" box pops up, asking me if I want to open as layers or images. So, I opened my test RAW image in Zoombrowser, developed the RAW image, and then clicked the option to edit with an external image editor, choosing GIMP as my editor. Buying photoshop or anything like that is not an option right now.Īnyway, I have the Canon Zoombrowser that lets you view and do limited editing on CR2 files, but I want to transfer the image to GIMP and edit it before I jpeg it. For all my jpeg pictures, I use GIMP to edit. ![]() Impact: Notifications may appear on the lock screen when disabledĭescription: A lock screen issue was addressed with improved state management.ĬVE-2017-7058: Beyza Sevinç of Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Impact: Parsing a maliciously crafted XML document may lead to disclosure of user informationĭescription: An out-of-bounds read was addressed through improved bounds checking.ĬVE-2017-7047: Ian Beer of Google Project Zeroĭescription: A memory consumption issue was addressed through improved memory handling.ĬVE-2017-7063: Shashank for: iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later, and iPod touch 6th generation Impact: Unpacking a maliciously crafted archive may lead to arbitrary code executionĭescription: A buffer overflow was addressed through improved bounds checking.

The suppression of individual opinions can sometimes lead to poorly thought out decisions as the discussion phase of decision-making is often cut short. On the other hand, Groupthink does have its disadvantages. Often, large groups of people make decision-making more difficult or slow down the process, but Groupthink can help projects find completion quickly and efficiently. In some group situations, Groupthink can have its benefits in that it often facilitates decision-making. Get personalĪsk group members how the groupthink opinions will impact on the personally and directly help them take a more individual approach to the subject matter. Subtly undermine the alpha character in the group in order to give others more chance of having their say, therefore limiting groupthink. If the group is all agreeing a bit too quickly and easily, throw in a few ‘opposite’ ideas, otherwise known as devil's advocates. There are 3 key aspects to groupthink which you must consider when you are running focus groups: 1. But, one of the things that can happen in focus groups is “groupthink.” The first person starts off on a tangent and then the entire room goes along with that first opinion. It is a similar phenomenon to the Bandwagon Effect.įocus groups are ideal when you want to gain multiple perspectives in an interactive group setting. Groupthink can also occur when one member of the group dominates the decision-making process, thus leading others to follow in their footsteps. Do you make your opinion known or do you cast it aside to go along with the majority? Let me guess - you chose the matter? That's Groupthink, sometimes also referred to as herd mentality. Someone proposes an idea that you think is quite poor but the majority of the group agrees that it is the best solution. Imagine that you had a deadline to meet and some difficult problems to solve. Perhaps it was during a work meeting or a school project. Think about the last time you were part of a group. Groupthink often occurs when there is a time constraint and individuals put aside personal doubts so a project can move forward. In many cases, people will set aside their own personal beliefs to adopt the opinion of the rest of the group. It refers to a cognitive bias which encourages people to desire harmony or conformity within a group. Groupthink is a term first used by social psychologist Irving L. How people would protest (and rightly) if something like this happened in San Isidro or Miraflores.įinally, it is quite possible that there are community members or advisors who, following the example of Alberto Fujimori, Alejandro Toledo, Ollanta Humala and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, have been involved in corrupt activities. There is every reason for the community to demand reparation and compensation from the company and the government for the damage wrought to their lives by this arbitrary change to the original project design. Today that track is now a national highway with those 150 trucks passing along it daily one way or the other. But when this was agreed, the construction of the mineroducto was still on the table, and only a rough track passed over its land. The arrangement with the community of Fuerabamba was to give them land (including the Fundo Yavi Yavi) in return for their acceptance of being moved from their place of origin to what is now called Nueva Fuerabamba. Furthermore, since it was a decision that had substantial impact on an indigenous population, it should have involved prior consultation (consulta previa). The government approved this change by a modification to the EIA when what it should have done is to demand a new EIA, analyse the impacts with rigour, inform the local authorities and promote discussion with local people. It replaced the mineroducto (beltway) contemplated in the initially approved Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) with a fleet of more than 150 trucks that pass to and from through Cotabambas, Chumbivilcas and Espinar provinces to the detriment of roads, homes, crops and livestock belonging to local people. Moreover, MMG bought Las Bambas and changed its design. Such was the logic of the Las Bambas Social Fund (US$60 million) and others launched by the Toledo administration, Alan García’s Programa Minero de Solidaridad con el Pueblo, and the current government’s communal canon programme. But the message systematically relayed by the last few governments is that the social license for large mining projects is achieved through money. Officials, media analysts and business people respond indignantly that the only thing that those protesting want is money. The conflict surrounding Las Bambas is entirely the responsibility of the government and MMG. Taxi services and labor groups have been frequent opponents of the Silicon Valley startup.This is a translation of an article by Carlos Monge in Diario Uno, published on 1 April. The San Francisco-based company has clashed with governments in many cities and countries. While the company serves several cities in Brazil, Bolivia and Chile, it does not operate elsewhere in Argentina, according to its website. "We are convinced we can contribute, and we expect to be in the province soon to do so."Ī Buenos Aires court in 2016 found Uber in violation of local transportation and labor standards. "We are very excited about the government's decision and the consensus reached by Mendoza's lawmakers," Uber's general manager for the southern cone region of South America, Mariano Otero, said in a statement. Mendoza's government would likely issue regulations to put the law into effect in August, and Uber could begin operating in the province as soon as September, Mendoza newspaper Diario Uno reported. Uber has said that the lack of explicit regulation does not mean the service is banned, and that it obeys Argentine law, pays taxes and wants cities to pass ride-hailing regulations. Uber has been operating in the capital Buenos Aires for more than two years despite court rulings ordering the company to stop and internet service providers to block its platform. Argentina's Senate voted 24-14 in favor of the law which specifically allows such services in the country's fifth-largest province by population, the legislature said on its website. To enable as many people as possible to see the small interior, each visitor is only allowed 5 minutes inside. The iconography used represents the victory of eternal life over death. My eyes slowly adjusted to the light and I caught my breath at the sight of the lavishly decorated interior made of thousands of pieces of coloured glass. Having waited briefly outside in a small queue, I passed through the doorway. It is one of the earliest of Ravenna’s monuments built in the 5th century AD by Galla Placidia, the sister of the emperor Honorius (although it is believed she is buried in Rome rather than in this mausoleum).Īs was the tradition, the exterior is rather plain and gave no clue to the wonders inside. When we arrived in Ravenna we headed straight to our first stop, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. Ravenna may not be as well known as the likes of Venice, Florence or Rome but it is well worth visiting for its stunning 5th and 6th-century early Christian mosaics built first by the Romans, followed by the Ostrogoths, and then the Byzantines. The Byzantine Empire’s control of Ravenna ended in 751 when the city was conquered by the Lombards (although the empire itself lasted until Constantinople was taken by Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire in 1453). However, in 540, when the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian, the greatest Byzantine ruler, came to power, he defeated the Ostrogoths and made Ravenna the western capital of his empire, the “Constantinople of the West.” Their most notable king, Theodoric the Great (454–526) built some of Ravenna’s most impressive monuments including the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, the Palace of Theoderic, and the Mausoleum of Theodoric. Meanwhile, Ravenna was now under the rule of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, the eastern branch of the Goths, a Christian Germanic tribe. In the east, however, the empire continued to exist with Constantinople (now Istanbul) as its eastern capital. The Roman Empire fell, in the west at least, when the last emperor Romulus August was deposed in 476. In 402, the Roman Emperor Honorius moved the capital from Rome to Ravenna marking the start of Ravenna’s heyday and the building of some extraordinary monuments. However, by the 5th century AD, its borders were under constant attack. The Roman Empire was founded in 27 BC and flourished for several centuries. It fell under Roman control in 191 BC and became the base of the Roman Republic’s naval fleet.
Generally, concrete slabs are rectangular solids, so the concrete calculator - which is an application of the volume calculator - can be used.Īlso, the volume formulas may be helpful if you are a keen gardener or just a happy owner of a house with a yard. One such instance is in road or pavement construction, where slabs of concrete must be built. There are many applications in real life where the volume calculator is useful: ![]() Use simple V = m / d V = m / d V = m / d volume equation.Ĭalculate the volume of a compressed gas in a cylinder applying ideal gas equation. This laboratory glassware can also be used to measure the volume of gas evolved from a chemical reaction.įind the volume of the gas, given its density and mass. In chemistry, a gas syringe is used to insert or withdraw a volume of a gas from a closed system. You'll find detailed instructions on the wikihow page.Ĭheck out the measures connected to your lung capacity by using a device called spirometer. Then you can use the Archimedes method - put the balloon into the bucket with water and check the volume difference. Inflate a balloon with the gas you want to measure (e.g., with helium to lift you up in the air). You need to remember that the volume of gas is influenced by temperature and pressure, and that gases expand to fill any container in which they're placed. We have to use more elaborate methods to measure the volume of a gas. So, if you want to measure an irregular object's volume, just follow Archimedes footsteps (though you can omit the naked race part): Legend says that Archimedes was so excited about this discovery that he popped out of his bathtub and ran naked through the streets of Syracuse. Knowing the irregular object volume and its weight, he could calculate the density and compare it with the density of pure gold. From this observation, he deduced that volume of water displaced must be equal to the volume of the part of his body he had submerged. The idea came to him when he was taking a bath - stepping into a bathtub, he noticed that the water level rose. If it's an irregular shape, you can try to do the very thing that caused Archimedes to shout the famous word Eureka! Probably you heard that story - Archimedes was asked to find out if the Hiero's crown is made from pure gold or just gold-plated - but without bending or destroying it. For a right triangular prism, the equation can be easily derived, as well as for a right rectangular prism, which is apparently the same shape as a box.įor regular three-dimensional objects, you can easily calculate the volume by taking measurements of its dimensions and applying the appropriate volume equation. Prism = A h Ah A h, where A A A is a base area and h h h is the height. For a pyramid with a regular base, another equation may be used as well: Pyramid = ( n / 12 ) h s 2 cot ( π / n ) (n/12) h s^2 \cot(\pi/n) ( n /12 ) h s 2 cot ( π / n ), where n n n is a number of sides s s s of the base for a regular polygon. ![]() Pyramid = ( 1 / 3 ) A h (1/3)Ah ( 1/3 ) A h where A A A is a base area and h h h is the height. Rectangular solid (volume of a box) = l w h lwh lw h, where l l l is the length, w w w is the width and h h h is the height (a simple pool may serve as an example of such shape). Sphere = ( 4 / 3 ) π r 3 (4/3)\pi r^3 ( 4/3 ) π r 3, where r r r is the radius.Ĭylinder = π r 2 h \pi r^2h π r 2 h, where r r r is the radius and h h h is the height.Ĭone = ( 1 / 3 ) π r 2 h (1/3)\pi r^2h ( 1/3 ) π r 2 h, where r r r is the radius and h h h is the height. Here are the formulas for some of the most common shapes:Ĭube = s 3 s^3 s 3, where s s s is the length of the side. ![]() There is no simple answer to this question, as it depends on the shape of the object in question. on the 22 nights a year the speedway is open. Faeth’s job is to coordinate the qualifying and heat races and main events for four racing classes, to see that racing concludes before 10 p.m. That’s on top of the many hours of track preparation performed during the week. On race nights, a minimum of 35 track personnel are required to keep the action and concession stands running smoothly. “Racing is an escape valve from everyday life,” said Faeth, of the allure of the emotionally charged sport. They operated the track until 2011, when former BCRA racer and Shasta Speedway promoter Rick Faeth took charge. Soares retired in 2002, leaving the track to his son and daughter-in-law Jim and Karen Soares. Over the years, John Soares and his wife Gladys made major improvements to the facility, including converting the track into a three-eighths mile banked oval, after taking over sole ownership in 1976. A former BCRA champion and an early day NASCAR driver, he is a member of the Halls of Fame of the BCRA, Motor Sports Press Association and West Coast Stock Cars. ![]() ![]() Soares was a racing legend competing in roadsters, midgets and stock cars. Bob Barkheimer Associates is believed to be the first promoter, with John Soares joining him in 1961. Hardtop racing began in Petaluma around 1951 on a quarter-mile flat track. Reaching speeds of 90 miles per hour, the 30-lap race was won by Petaluma’s Ed Normi, who later gained racing fame and was inducted into the Bay Cities Racing Association’s Hall of Fame. According to the Argus-Courier, the event was sponsored by “Petaluma Post, American Legion,” and was attended by, “More than a thousand speed-minded Petalumans, who jammed the grandstand and lined the track.” But it wasn’t until 1936 that the first official race was held at the old one-mile horseracing track that extended nearly to East Washington Street. When the city created Kenilworth Park in 1910, on the site of Harry Stover’s horse ranch, it was acknowledged that auto racing could be in its future. If I had it to do all over again, I’d do it in a heartbeat.” “Racing is a lot more expensive these days, but there are still lots of folks who love the thrill of it. “I love to watch the faces of kids light up when they come into the pits after the races,” said McCoy, who’s won more than 50 main events and captured two track championships. His enthusiasm blossomed after he began driving his own race car, when he was 18, and grew into a family affair that included his father overseeing the push trucks, his sister Marlene working as track photographer, his wife Becky - who began as a mud scraper and now drives the push truck - and his mother Marye, a diehard fan and owner of McCoy Poultry, a primary sponsor of the races, and the company responsible for loading and delivering every chicken processed at the Petaluma Poultry plant over the past 50 years. For McCoy, whose consecutive race streak recently reached 808, it all began when his father took him to the Speedway as a child. There may not be a stronger advocate for preserving the storied adobe oval than McCoy, who holds the distinction of never having missed a race in his 38-year career.Īutomobile racing is deeply woven into the fabric of Petaluma’s blue-collar heritage, and has been a popular sport in Petaluma for more than 80 years.

The program can be run under multiple platforms – Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. In brief, XnViewMP offers numerous function for users to view, edit and catalogue their images. The full list of changes can be read on this page. There are hundreds of new features in XnView MP compared to standard XnView. Several image editing tools are also included, for instance color and size manipulation, shadow/highlights, level adjustments, several filters and effects. These include rotation, adding watermarks, adding text, applying image enhancing filters, fancy effects, stripping EXIF and other meta data and a vast number of actions. Under the Tools menu you will find several utilities that lets you perform tasks like find similar images, take screenshot of the desktop, convert images to any one of the basic formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and so on, including WebP), perform lossless JPEG transformation such as rotate and flip images, batch rename files and send files by FTP or email.Īlso integrated with XnViewMP is the powerful batch file conversion tool XnConvert, that lets you convert image formats, resize images and apply different kinds of adjustments to images in bulk. You can also filter images by rating, labels and comments and tags. You can adjust the size of the thumbnails, change view type, sort images by title, date, exif, file size, orientation and what not. The main window of XnViewMP shows thumbnail preview of the contents of the selected folder or category. The information include file properties, complete EXIF data, and RGB histogram. The Preview panel has two tabs – one shows the preview of the selected image, and the other shows a bunch of information about the image. This include ratings (excellent, good, average etc.), colored labels (important, work, personal etc.), categories (animals, family, landscape, travel, portraits etc.) and a few others. The Categories panel contain pre-configured categories for easier categorization of your images. When you favorite an image, it becomes available under the Favorites panel. The tree panel has three sections arranged in tabs, once each for Folders, Favorites and Categories. There are three basic panels – a tree panel, which shows the file system, a thumbnail panel that shows contents of the selected folder, and a preview panel that shows preview and details about the selected image. Additionally, there is “free” layout where you can re-orient the various panels by dragging and dropping into place. You can choose whichever layout you are conformable with. The program has different panels that are arranged into multiple layouts – 10, to be exact, including two “film strip” layouts. XnViewMP sports a new unified look that is intended to feel the same across all platforms it runs on. Apparently, development of both XnView and XnViewMP is progressing in parallel, but if Wikipedia is to be believed, the superior XnViewMP will eventually replace all versions of XnView for all platforms. XnViewMP also comes with a powerful batch conversion module – the same one that powers XnConvert. XnViewMP (MP stands for Multi Platform) is an enhanced version of the image viewing software XnView that offers better compatibility with image formats, improved performance in terms of loading, image caching and multi-core processing, full native unicode support and the ability to load full bit depth pictures (8/16/32 bits per component). |
