A basketball court is surely the only place where the height of 6 foot 6 is considered average. Off the top of my head, I’m hard-pressed to. This big list of current 6’6 NBA players contains forwards and guards in both the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference.

On the other hand, the Sawyer actually allows you to print your photos directly from the Aura app. There’s absolutely no reason for the app to default to this kind of privacy issue. In our opinion, this was a somewhat disappointing feature. If you have any questionable photos on your phone, Grandma may see them. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to understand how this might backfire spectacularly if you miss this option. However, this is only if you have Smart Suggestions enabled. Then, it automatically uploads all the photos in specified albums to the cloud, and can add new ones as they’re taken. When you install the Aura app, it asks you to allow it to access all of your pictures. You’ll also be able to like them and add them as favorites. Add photos to the frame, remove them, or switch to the next photo. The app is even compatible with Amazon Alexa, so you can change various settings via voice control. This way, the whole family can share their photos, even if you live hundreds of miles apart. You can actually connect multiple smartphones with multiple frames via the Sawyer app. Provided the Sawyer is paired and connected via WiFi, the pictures will immediately appear in the frame.īut the Sawyer’s features go a bit deeper than this. From there, you can add your photos to your Sawyer frame. Simply download the app for free on iOS or Android, and you’re ready to go. That said, the unlimited storage is unlimited and free, so you don’t have to pay for a monthly subscription. There’s no on-board storage, so you’ll have to use this feature if you want the frame to work. The main attraction of the Sawyer is that it stores all of your photos directly in the cloud. It’s significantly more affordable, but it comes with fewer “smart” features than the Sawyer. If you’re looking to spend a little less, consider the Dragon Touch Digital Frame. The Sawyer is a premium piece of décor, and it comes at a premium. It weighs 3.5 pounds, which is a bit heavy, but it’s understandable given the quality of construction. Even so, it will work just fine on a table, desk, or nightstand. It also means that if you hang the frame on your wall, there will be a cord dangling from it. This means there’s no battery, so you don’t need to worry about recharging. On the side of the stand mount, there’s a port for your USB power supply. The stand can also be removed entirely, which allows you to hang the Sawyer on your wall. The stand can be positioned to support the frame in both a vertical and horizontal orientation. The back of the frame slopes to a small square surface where a stand is attached. Depending on the color, the frame may extend all the way to the screen, or there may be a faux matting. The display itself measures 10 inches on the diagonal, making it fairly standard-sized for a desktop picture frame. For example, some are flat, some slope inwards, and some have a curved, rounded outer lip. Depending on the color, there are different form factors. The frame measures 12 inches wide, 7 inches high, and 3 inches deep. Choose whatever finish best matches your décor. As a result, you’re not limited to a simple black. There are 7 options in all, including ivory and rose gold, matte black, gloss black, white, and even wood grain. It also looks fantastic, with a variety of different finishes. By contrast, the Sawyer has an aluminum frame, which makes it exceptionally durable. Most of them are constructed from ABS plastic, which isn’t as durable as it could be. The Aura Frames Sawyer WiFi Picture Frame is much better constructed than many similar frames. We’ll talk about what we liked, as well as what we didn’t like. We’ll take a deep dive into the image quality, the design, and how all the cloud features work. This is an innovative digital picture frame that comes with a variety of cloud features. Today, we’ll be looking at the Aura Frames Sawyer WiFi Picture Frame. Without the need to change a physical photo, you can simply update your photos in the cloud. Not only does this save you space, but it also allows for constant, easy updating. A digital frame allows you to display a virtually endless array of pictures, simply by cycling through them. The answer is to use a digital picture frame. But how do you use your photos to decorate your home? There are simply too many of them to hang on your walls or put on a table. People’s pets, vacation photos, social events, and even everyday work. Go on social media, and you’ll see an endless stream of pictures. Now that we have cell phones, everyone is carrying cameras everywhere. We can even memorialize our favorite experiences. And the invention of the first cameras have allowed us to remind ourselves of our family and friends. From the time of the first cave paintings, human beings have decorated their homes to brighten things up. Attack time is the fade-in time when the mic goes from off to on. If you’re on the quiet side when it comes to speaking, your close threshold may cut off your voice if it’s too low.ĭon’t be too concerned with the other settings. You want a pretty tight threshold range, but it’s easy to have the quiet parts of your voice cut off. You’ll want to experiment a bit with this by doing some practice recordings. Increase the open threshold until it doesn’t show any input, then bring it down slightly from there. Your microphone shouldn’t be picking up anything unless you’re talking! To set the open threshold, start talking and you should see that the sound bar is picking up your voice. If any noise is being picked up by OBS, just move the close threshold closer to zero until there is no more background noise being picked up. Computers on, housemates watching TV, anything that would typically come up in your recording. To calibrate it better, you should sit completely silent in front of your mic, with average background noise. This means that the mic will mute any sounds quieter than -32 db and when the mic hits -26 db it will turn on the mic. By default, the noise gate will come with a Close Threshold of -32 db and an open threshold of -26 db. In an ideal streaming scenario, your talking voice will open the noise gate, but background noise will not.ĭialing in your noise gate may require some trial and error. Noise gates work by only turning on the microphone once it detects a certain decibel range. It is associated with birth, death, and a thorough transformation to change lives for good. Owing to their competitive and intolerant nature, they often become rude to others. They are prone to be violent and dominating with an inherent desire to control others. People born under the influence of Mars are incredibly courageous, determined, and iron-willed so that nothing can shatter their desires. It has the most influential powers in Aries and Scorpio. Violence, aggression, and brutality are common traits of Mars.

But it does not mean that it leaves a bad influence in synastry. Trine implies promising opportunities for fulfilling an individual’s desires and fortunate circumstances to manifest life goals. Trine is a wonderful and harmonious aspect of synastry. In synastry, planets relate to each other while making formations on sextiles, trine, conjunction, squares, and opposition. Contrary to that, opposing factors block planetary energies and indicate hurdles in life. Planets in harmony reveal their cooperating capacities. These aspects are responsible for balancing the seamless flow of planetary energy. 7 Bottom Line Harmonious & Opposing Aspects Between Planets I took on super-powered naval officers, screen-filling monsters, and many cavefulls of bandits, and I was always happy to see the Straw Hat Pirates throwing hands against often overwhelming odds. I'd have been happy enough if this game mimicked Dragon Quest, but the developers put some real thought into how to replicate the sprawling, messy cartoon brawls of the source material in an accessible turn-based combat engine. The main thing you'll be doing in One Piece Odyssey is getting into turn-based JRPG fights, and fortunately, filler or no, battles are cleverer than I expected. Quests could be shortened, the grind reduced and backtracking excised to leave a leaner, faster game. But almost every part of Odyssey could use some trimming. There's some great encounters in the optional side-content too, including chasing the bounties on rival pirates who have their own comical gimmicks, like a crew that like to leap dramatically off cliff-tops, but haven't figured out the "landing safely" part yet. The distractions often lean into One Piece's sillier side, and even these weird story digressions lead to some spectacular boss fights and fun new monsters. It was hard for me to stay annoyed at Odyssey-or the giant crab for that matter. In one particularly egregious case, a chase across the desert to save a friend gets delayed by bandits stealing the crew's food, a monkey stealing Nami's wallet, a river of quicksand, a spelunking adventure to bypass the quicksand (which fails), and then a big cartoon crab turns up to just take everyone to their destination anyway. It's not just sidequests, grinding and scouring maps for treasure-the main story often forgets where it's going. Odyssey is stuffed to bursting with padding, filler within the filler. We were first introduced to polyamory in 2013 by an American friend living in Miami. Old systems of governance and oppression, in politics, race and gender, are starting to weaken and no longer fit with the contemporary mindset. These are all steps in the ladder of a paradigm shift in the collective consciousness. people are fed up with being treated like idiots. Look at #MeToo in cinema, Abuse of Power Comes as No Surprise in art, gun violence protests, etc. There is a clear road leading us towards much more free, open and transparent choices in all sectors. Two years ago, we devoted all our time to healing, self-healing and healing techniques, thus our collection had healing as the theme: healing oneself, the other, and the planet.Īnd for one year, we’ve been working on our next collection, Alternative Prints, which will celebrate alternative systems, people and communities working to lift the veil – the veil of the corrupt, unhealthy, unsustainable and exploitative systems in all areas of life. Our visual collections are reflections of our inner selves. Let’s dive deep in visuals, images, patterns, prints and research, test, try, invent, innovate. We used it in a few other works as well, then wrote two extensive articles about it for Dazed.įun, incredibly fun! It often starts with a stereo urge in both of us: Let’s make a new collection. Honestly, as an image-maker, in 2011, there was nothing more interesting than the selfie. Something as banal as a front-facing camera changed our relationship with how we capture a moment. That was the time we were truly fascinated by the rise of selfies and political sex scandals, two different things yet very much intertwined in the mediatisation of the self-image. The Pinar & Viola visual collection of 2012, Scandal Aqua, had a series of hot, sensual teenage girls sending their bathroom selfies to their politician idols. When it comes to selfies, around the same time in 2010, Apple introduced the first front-facing camera, and in 2011, the selfie Olympics began. Actually, these buttons were just the side effect of a bigger picture. We used them in the music video for Diplo. Yes, Internet buttons were present quite a lot around 2011, as in that time, our mind was busy with creating a visual Internet folklore. I am very excited about this combination of digital craft and handcraft, it balances me. The space jewels are a new hobby of mine and it makes me feel like a kid again. Besides their decorative effect, they are tools, they function as reminders and motivators. Each jewel sends out a particular message into the space. For now, I’m just making them for myself and I made a few for some close friends, each of them crafted specifically for that person with a specific message for them. They are hanging objects that look like 3D graffiti coming from the anarchist community of fairyland. Besides being a digital image maker and digital painter, I’m making space jewellery. Very grateful to create so much visual ecstasy with this beautiful sparkling Pinar for many years now. In that world, there is freedom, love, equality, peace and abundance. Thus, I am creating a fantasyland with my cosmic sister. A large part of humanity is living in other people’s fantasies, which I do not agree with. At the end of the day, other than love and nature, it is all an illusion. Among all illusion, I find truth in the work I create with Viola. Currently, I’m busy lifting the veil that I let the system impose on my personality and how I behave. My biggest career goal is to get to know myself and have a healthy balance in this mind-body-soul triangle.

We help you with movies from around the world just so that you get to bring about a change to what you watch. Film focuses on the relationship between Captain Phillips an the Somali pirate captain, Muse. It narrates the true story about the captured 18 hours as a hostage on the ship Maersk Alabama on Indian Ocean. $#+ Captain Phillips ❄ DETAILS: ╣ The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years. Movies from around the world in Soaptoday We believe in helping our viewers with an experience that isn’t region-specific. Film is made based on the memoir book of captain Richard Phillips and Stephan Talty. LEGO and NASA still are working on lesson plans for students that will coincide with the work the astronauts perform in space, Biggs said. "This is showing what happens when we give kids a challenge, give them a tool that allows them to express their response to that challenge, their ideas," Turnipseed said. Melvin and Turnipseed were delighted with the kids' enthusiasm. "You can make anything you want," said Tanner, a nine-year-old who has been building LEGO sets for years. Some made a run at imagining colonies on the moon or Mars. They quickly constructed spacecraft of all shapes, some small with launch facilities, others large replicas of the space shuttle. Visiting LEGO's activity tent at one of the launch viewing sites at Kennedy on Wednesday, kids took to 1 ton of bricks and specialized pieces with barely any instructions. There were plenty of children who thought so, too. "I don't think I'd have been as good an engineer if it had not been for things like LEGO and construction kinds of toys." "LEGO taught me a lot of things about how things are built, what makes sense in terms of structure," said Tani, who brought his daughter to the LEGO activity tent. "Children think with their hands," Turnipseed said.Īstronaut Dan Tani, a veteran shuttle flier and station resident, agreed. Stephan Turnipseed, president of LEGO Education North America, said LEGO is the right partner because the bricks encourage kids to develop their inner engineer. Known as STEM education, the focus has been a priority for the agency throughout this year's "Summer of Innovation." NASA's fundamental goal is to use the partnership to inspire children to learn about science, technical fields, engineering and math. They are expected to stay in their lockers, but astronauts may pull them out during the mission if they have time, said Debbie Biggs, an education specialist for International Space Station National Lab Education Projects. Two small LEGO shuttles are packed inside Discovery for the STS-133 launch to promote the new partnership. 1 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to announce the partnership. Melvin flew two shuttle flights, spending time at the station during both missions. "We're going to use the classroom of space, the International Space Station, to inspire the next generation," said Leland Melvin, associate administrator for NASA Education and a former astronaut. The project is one of the first steps in a three-year partnership between NASA and the Denmark-based The LEGO Group, maker of the ubiquitous plastic bricks that have been covering children's playroom floors for decades. The students will build some of the same things in their own classrooms and see firsthand how differently objects behave in space, where there is practically no gravity, compared to the familiar world of Earth. LEGO bricks aren't just for kids, and they aren't just for Earth, either.Īstronauts on board the International Space Station will build small model spacecraft and working objects in orbit and share the experience with schoolchildren watching on Earth. The company brought in a ton of bricks and let students build their own rocket, launch center and space colony designs. Tanner, 9, takes part in the LEGO activity at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. LEGO's Stephan Turnipseed and NASA's Leland Melvin hold up a NASA logo made of LEGO bricks as they mark a new, 3-year partnership between the toy brick builder and the space agency. LEGO is going to release four NASA-related kits as part of its education agreement with NASA. Leland Melvin, NASA's associate administrator of Education, right, shows off a space shuttle made of LEGO bricks as Stephan Turnipseed, president of LEGO Education North America, looks on.
