![]() ![]() Performed together, denoising and demosaicing can output phenomenal results. Demosaicing technology recreates complete colors based on the pixels from a photo sensor that initially only receive one of three basic colors. DxO DeepPRIME also superbly performs demosaicing. The images are improved for another big reason. And the thing is: YOU can do the same thing with a single click and DxO PhotoLab 4. Look at the yellow arrow and you’ll see that these enlargements are very small crops from a much larger image. This image was shot with a Canon S90, introduced in 2009 and not even a DSLR – it’s a tiny (but awesome) small-chip 10-megapixel pocketsize point-and-shoot camera. I claim that DxO DeepPRIME makes Raw files from 10+ year old digital cameras look like they were captured by new cameras. Except for the fact that I performed the conversions myself using Raw files from 10+ years ago, I would not believe the performance. Although the firmware in the camera is optimized to minimize noise, noise can nonetheless be increased by high sensitivity (ISO) settings, low levels of scene illumination, long of exposures and even high ambient temperature.ĭxO DeepPRIME corrects digital noise better than any software product I have ever witnessed. Mistakenly conflated with the grain that appears on film, noise is actually a natural byproduct of the electronic transaction that occurs between your camera’s sensor, signal processing ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) and analog-to-digital conversion hardware. It can also appear as banding, i.e., a series of faint but disruptive parallel lines. On a digital image, noise appears as granulation and colored dots that significantly degrade the image quality. It’s what your TV looks like when the cable goes out. Think of it as radio static you can see instead of hear. A fully-functional, one-month trial version of DxO PhotoLab 4 is available on the DxO website. You can try DxO PhotoLab 4 for free for one month. Last but not least, the new DxO Instant Watermarking feature lets you demarcate photos by adding a text and/or graphic watermark directly to the image. ![]() They also added the ability to selectively copy and paste specific settings. The big news and most outstanding addition to DxO’s fourth version of PhotoLab software is DxO DeepPRIME, but DxO made other enhancements to this underappreciated photo editor.ĭxO PhotoLab 4 brings a new dynamic interface system called DxO Smart Workspace, offers an enhanced PhotoLibrary with a batch renaming feature, and streamlines the workflow by adding a new and exclusive editing history tool called DxO Advanced History. And I'm not kidding when I say it will make old Raw files from your 10+ years old camera look like they were shot with the best and latest camera model on the market. DxO DeepPRIME is a groundbreaking demosaicing and denoising engine based on artificial intelligence and trained with deep learning. This latest version features DxO DeepPRIME, a game-changing technology you’re going to be hearing about over and over from now on.

Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, voted against the bill when it came to the Agriculture Committee. The challenge is being able to hold them accountable in court,” Heironimus said.įish and Wildlife enforcement issued 51 citations in 2022 and seized more than 2,000 pounds of illegally caught smelt. “We know at least 70% of those people did not have a fishing license. Heironimus said the department needed the requirement more for the frequent or extreme violators, who can escape punishment by claiming ignorance about the limits. Children 14 and younger would not need to get a fishing license, though they do still need to follow the 10-pound limits.įor most people who went over the limit, Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers provide weigh-in stations for the catches and verbal warnings. The license requirement would not be in place for any dips this spring. The average is skewed by the “gross violators” who tried to fill vehicles with smelt, but Heironimus said it was common for people to accidentally go over the weight limit. There were 169,000 pounds of smelt caught, meaning the average was slightly above the legal limit of 10 pounds per person. There were 16,000 people who dipped for smelt during the one day the run was open last March. “It would be an opportunity for anyone participating to read about the license, see the information and the rules for participating in the fishery.” This is still a federally protected species,” said Laura Heironimus, who leads the smelt and sturgeon unit for WDFW. “Not having a license gives this idea that it is a free-for-all and it’s not. Fish and Wildlife officials said the license would help educate the public and regulate the small but intense windows for smelt dipping. Mike Chapman, D-Port Angeles, but the change was a request from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The bill was passed by the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee Jan. House Bill 1226 would require a recreational fishing license to catch freshwater smelt, crawfish or carp - the only three species currently exempt from the license requirement. A bill going through the state Legislature could change that. Part of the dip’s popularity is that smelt are one of the only species of fish that Washingtonians can catch without a fishing license. Whenever smelt dips open along the Cowlitz River, thousands turn out to catch a bucket of the small silver fish. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Thin and wire-tough, with a raptor’s nose and a glare so fierce his men called him ‘Old Gimlet Eye,’” historian Geoffrey C.

If his disguise had been discovered at any time, he would have been promptly shot as a spy. Once in Mexico City, the Marine posed as various alter egos (including a railroad employee, private investigator, and geologist), bluffing his way into inspecting Meixcan troop arrangements before returning to the fleet with vital information. In coordination with his commanding officer, Butler donned civilian clothes and sneaked to shore. In 1914, during President Woodrow Wilson’s intervention in the Mexican Civil War, Major Butler found himself stationed with a battleship squadron off the coast of Veracruz. Joined by his young bride, Butler would return to the Philippines before spending the turn of the decade leading a Marine battalion into battles in Panama and Nicaragua. Peters, the daughter of a wealthy railroad executive with whom he would have three children. Briefly returning stateside, he married Ethel C. What followed in short order were deployments to the Philippines, China (where Butler was wounded during the Boxer Rebellion), and Honduras. The future president called the young Marine “the ideal American soldier,” simply “the finest fighting man in the armed forces.” Supporters would positively compare Smedley to TR for the rest of his life. His reckless courage garnered the attention of Theodore Roosevelt, then commander of the Rough Riders in Cuba. The spotlight shone on him as soon as he landed at Guantanamo Bay. Bucking paternal coddling, Butler fled the coop and successfully enlisted in the Marine Corps as a Second Lieutenant by falsely giving the birthdate of his older brother. When the United States declared war on Spain in April 1898, the sixteen year old attempted to enlist and was denied because of his youth - his congressman father went so far as to have his name blacklisted among local recruiting stations. ![]() ![]() ![]() The best pick to install Aegir is to use an open source elaborate shell script provided by the nice folks at Omega8. This is where you need to lay your hands on if you want to extend Aegir's functionality. There are other terms which you will hear often when discussing about Aegir, like Eldir, the default theme of Hostmaster(cleverly named, as Eldir is the servant of Aegir), and Hosting, the set of modules which power the Hostmaster installation profile. Provision is essentially the backend of Hostmaster and contains a set of drush commands like verifying new platforms, creating new instances, adding servers etc. Hostmaster is a Drupal 7 install profile which runs the Aegir frontend. If you are having a critical security update in core or a contrib module, you have to create a new platform by patching the respective module and simply migrate all the site instances from the old platform to the new one.Īegir rests on 3 pillars, Hostmaster, provision and drush. As a corollary, Aegir suits you best if you have sites with similar functionality/features, as there is lesser administrative overhead involved. ![]() If each of your websites is as unique as a snowflake, then you will have to create an Aegir platform for every site and run an instance of the site on that platform. Each of these multisites will be using the same code base and will be modelled as Drupal multisites. There will be multiple sites running the "lakshminp blog" platform, like the live site, a staging version, a dev version where I'm adding a new feature or fixing a bug. This could be a custom profile, or some contrib profile, like Panopoly. This will comprise of a set of contrib and custom modules, themes and features tagged as a single Drupal profile. Each platform can have multiple instances(or sites) running on Aegir.įor example, this site will be modelled as "lakshminp blog" platform in Aegir. This set of makefiles, modules and instructions are tagged as a single drupal profile, and this constitutes a "platform", in Aegir lingo. All the configuration is stored in features and Aegir heavily relies on a features-based workflow. It contains the version of every module used, all the patches applied to them, and specific installation instructions. A drush makefile is more like a snapshot of your Drupal site's code. The former model works equally well on Aegir, as we will see. ![]() Instead of having core and a set of modules and themes checked in, Aegir recommends a Makefile based approach. Aegir architectureĪegir has an opinionated view of a Drupal site. If Drupal is associated with water drops, it only makes sense to associate a lot of Drupal sites with something relating to the sea or ocean after all! And Aegir stands true to this metaphor. Aegir is the God of seas and oceans in Norse folklore, much like Varuna in the Hindu pantheon. We shall start with the most simplest and earliest solution of them all, Aegir. I had started this series with a post about what features will be evaluated when selecting DIY Drupal hosting solutions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This will let you know where the Sun will be in the sky during totality, so you can check to make sure that trees, buildings or mountains won’t be in your way.

How long totality will last – given in minutes and seconds, or just seconds if the location is close to the edge of the path. Therefore, you have to remember the most important safety rule: Use your eclipse glasses to view the eclipse at all times until the very last bit of the Sun’s bright disk has been covered by the Moon! When you can’t see anything through the eclipse glasses any longer, then it is safe to look! (But put them back on IMMEDIATELY as soon as totality is over!) Remember, due to edge effects unique to your viewing location, this time may be “off” by a few seconds, and different observers will see things differently. This is what you came here to see! When does totality start? Again, this time is given in Universal time and you can convert it if you like. Who will be the first to see that bite and shout “ First Contact!”?
