Such "shader effects" are easy to find, because they are located with other effects. ) to create a new one : for example, adjusting the color of a movie. Effects They process an existing image (frame from a movie, a camera.So feel free to adjust the quality of the rendering, and tweak the parameters : Since shaders are executed in real-time, some will require more power than others. You can play directly with them, simply drag-and-drop one in a layer. Medias They produce an image from scratch, and can be accessed from Millumin library. In Millumin, there are 2 kinds of shader : medias and effects.

The main advantages of the shaders is that there are executed in real-time. This is achieved via a very simple mathematic formula, that is run for every pixel of our image, to determine if the pixel is white or black : pixel_color = modulo( x*10.

Scripture for pastor wife appreciation1/15/2024 It was invented by a group of clergy in 1992, promoted by a prominent Christian organization in 1994, and bought into by Christian retailers throughout the country as a great way to unload their overstock of pastor’s office tchotchkes. It’s not a religious holiday like Christmas. Pastor Appreciation Month isn’t a natural holiday, like New Year’s Day. But here are seven reasons I think churches shouldn’t celebrate Pastor Appreciation Month: 1. It is artificial If your church still chooses to celebrate it, I don’t plan on fighting you over it. I understand that I am probably in the minority. It’s not that I don’t think it’s biblical to appreciate pastors I just don’t think Pastor Appreciation Month is the best way to go about it. But I’ve read startlingly few pieces questioning whether or not we should actually have this weirdly-niche holiday in the first place. I’ve read guides for how to give better gifts during this month. I have read posts from other pastors, church leaders, and church members expressing the necessity of a month dedicated to appreciating pastors. It may seem strange that I, a pastor, would lament that this month has been unofficially but nonetheless nationally recognized as “Pastor Appreciation Month.” And yet, I do. Unfortunately, it’s also Pastor Appreciation Month. Fall colors in the trees, lots of crisp mornings and clear nights, the sudden availability of pumpkin spice-flavored everything, and more. As far as months go, October really stands out.

Used samsung sidekick 4g1/15/2024 I found myself preferring the on screen keyboard to the physical keyboard because this phone is touch screen. One thing I found useless was the sidekicks iconic keyboard. But that depends a good amount on where you live. The phone is great in terms of coverage and 4G service. So its unexpected and rather annoying in my opinion. But this doesn't occur in just certain applications this can happen in any application that you open. So you can imagine you can just trying to look at a memo and your phone reboots. These are applications installed by T-Mobile that can not be removed.īut you overall will feel the phone vibrate 2 times and then it reboots when this occurs. This could be because of the large amount of "bloatware" on the phone. The issue is reported by m ultiple users of the devices. This appears to be an issue with the amount of RAM/Memory that the device has. It would randomly freeze when you open the camera app or memo app. I also encountered a freezing issue with this phone. You can login and check your balance but the application is unable to properly take pictures of check when you choose the deposit feature. An example is the Bank of America application. Some applications will support the phone but not work as intended. Most applications support as low at android 2.3, which is useless since this phone can only upgrade to android 2.2 currently. This means that some applications may not support this device. The issue with the phone is its rather outdated compared to the current versions of android. Okay Product That Lacks Software Updates. Hard to use a phone that freezes when you want to use the GPS or look at pictures or anytime it goes to update apps. But for useability and function I would have to give it a 2/5 due to the constant freezing and resetting and overloading of the battery. It also survived countless drops to the floor before the screen finally cracked. Mine fell out of my car while driving and got ran over by another car and I put the batter back in and it still worked. On the plus side they are pretty durable. Next thing you know you just went from 90% battery to 5% battery. The phone will freeze up when trying to open your picture gallery or other apps, Overload and drain the battery, and then reset and turn back on. The processin power of this phone is minimal. You can't even use the camera if you do not put an external memory card in. The features of the phone are pretty nice with a good camera but it has limited storage space on the phone (only 135MB) which most of it is taken by the android operating system and factory installed apps that you can't get rid of. Me and my wife both have these phones and I have to say they are not very good. The Camera (no zoom WHY!?!?) Read full review The Touchscreen (doesn't work under low power situations) the small QWERTY that it uses is very easy to type on. I do a lot of text entry and when using the soft keys it takes me 5X the time to do anything because of all the correcting. The reason I bought this phone is that it was an inexpensive T-Mobile 4G slider. it will last 12 hours on a good day if you don't play games or make a lot of calls. I have used several other android phones and I find this one fast and easier to use. the Android functions are very good as is the layout. it plays video without problems and the sound is good. but no zoom (odd) it also plays games well and the touch screen is good. as for the good side of this phone it has some good camera features the panorama is my favorite. then while drying it apart in the sun a sudden thunderstorm moved over and drowned it again. I fell off my bo at into a lake with it in my pocket. but the back key and a couple of the letters on the kb no longer worked (u turned up the volume and the back key put out 7&z or something like that D just died) the second time was it's doom. this died the first time when a little spilled tap water went across the table getting a little water into the back plate. don't use it in the rain don't get it damp. if you charge it with a power supply that doesn't provide a lot of power the phone's touch screen won't work while charging. as phones go it does have a few oddities. This Review is a combination of both phones. This is my second Sidekick phone the first was drowned.

Seasoning stainless steel pan1/15/2024 If you ever season with the stove top method you are going to need to bring the bottom of your pan into the high 200s pretty often, with limited temperature control. So there is a pretty high risk your blueing probably won’t stay the same blue all too long. Getting an even colour on the sides is a little tricky on the stove, especially if it’s not a gas burner, some ovens do go up to around 300 C, so if that is possible I would use the oven.Ī heads up is that most stoves can get extremely hot, a lot hotter then people think and essentially empty frying pans too. So I would recommend looking into some video tutorials for seasoning woks for inspiration. Yes, blueing/tempering carbon steel pans to a blue is pretty common, especially with woks. It doesn’t seem to be too many of us on the sub. Hi! Somebody else who think tempering carbon steel is fun and interesting. I usually heat-blue, douse in mineral oil, buff with very fine polishing compound briefly to restore high luster surface, re-soak in mineral oil one more time before wiping them off to use. I've had good luck with dousing in mineral oil - might be psychosomatic, but I think the oil increases the lubricity of the finished surface. If the oil-dousing is done at bluing temperatures and low smoke point oil, the oil definitely polymerizes and the blue part can turn almost black. In fact, I bet there is a mix of oxide and polymerization in normal seasoning, just not necessarily in an orderly way. It varies slightly by steel composition, but generally somewhere between 540 and 600F will usually get you a nice cosmetic blue finish.įor metal tools, a common strategy is to build the oxide coating FIRST by heat-bluing and then douse the part in oil - some claim the oil infuses the oxide coating, I'm not sure I subscribe to this, but I do think that oil still polymerizes and sticks to the oxide layer. The process requires a nice clean (ideally polished) surface and careful heat control to bring the steel up to about 570F. I was wondering if anyone has tried heat-bluing prior to seasoning their carbon steel pans, and what the effect was.įor general info, Heat bluing uses the fact that heat can directly control the thickness of the oxide coating that forms on carbon steel - the result is an enigmatic and gorgeous jewel-blue color. At the very least, I think it will be interesting to heat-blue the back side of the pan - as long as I don't ever get the pan hotter than 600F, the cosmetic blue on that side should hold up pretty well - it'll get dirty perhaps, but I could re-polish and re-blue occasionally if that bothers me. I'm about to prep a fresh carbon-steel pan (the misen one) and I'm thinking it might be fun to try heat-bluing the pan before I season it. Hi Folks, I recently learned the art of heat-bluing carbon steel - I've been using this technique to cosmetically heat-blue my knitting needles (long story for a different time)

Keep It instal the new version for mac1/15/2024 After sixteen distinct versions of macOS 10, macOS Big Sur was presented as version 11 in 2020, and every subsequent version has also incremented the major version number, similarly to classic Mac OS and iOS. Apple shortened the name to "OS X" in 2011 and then changed it to "macOS" in 2016 to align with the branding of Apple's other operating systems, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The derivatives of macOS are Apple's other operating systems: iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and audioOS.Ī prominent part of macOS's original brand identity was the use of Roman numeral X, pronounced "ten", as well as code naming each release after species of big cats, or places within California. All releases from Mac OS X Leopard onward with the exclusion of Mac OS X Lion are UNIX 03 certified. The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, was released on March 24, 2001. During this time, Apple computers co-founder Steve Jobs had left Apple and started his own company, NeXT, developing the NeXTSTEP platform that would later be acquired by Apple to form the basis of Mac OS X. Mac OS X succeeded classic Mac OS, a Macintosh operating system from 1984 to 2001. Within the market of desktop and laptop computers, it is the second most widely used desktop OS, after Microsoft Windows and ahead of all Linux machines, including ChromeOS. It is the primary operating system for Apple's Mac computers.

Letter format envelope canada1/14/2024 To use a C/O when addressing an envelope, you can simply mention the recipient’s name and write C/O and the name and address of the person, you are leaving the package in care of. This means that the post office should deliver the envelope to the entity listed as C/O in the address, who should then give it to the person to whom it is addressed. It lets the postman know that the recipient mentioned on the envelope is not the typical recipient at that street address. The term C/O stands for ‘care of,’ which means ‘through someone,’ and businesses often use to make sure that the package isn’t returned to them. These labels include spaces for a return address in the upper left corner and the delivery address in the center. With labels you can write or print on the label and then place it on the envelope, but with USPS, you can write directly onto the envelope itself. You may find using an address label with envelopes helpful especially if you have many envelopes to address. Be sure to include the apartment or unit number during the ZIP code lookup as that could affect ZIP+4 information. If you are unsure of it, you can look it up on the postal service site with a partial address.
