![]() In this step we have to create a rough painted version of the image. In the Rough layer I use an Impression filter without textures (check if it is turned down when you scroll down the adjustments plane). Next it is time to create a Rough painted layer similar as how I use this in the Photoshop version of this tutorial. I usually pick a value between 30 and 60 depending of the type of image I am working with. Next I create a base layer version of the painting by adding a new Simplify filter layer.ĭial up the ‘Simplify Size’ slider until you have lost all small details. The glow creates a softer contrast around the harder edges while also increasing the local contrast to start with the painting. The Glow filter is set to ‘Light’, the strength to 0.43 and the rest of the sliders you can lookup in the screenshot on this page. Feel free to publish your result but I would very much like it if you give attribution or a link to this tutorial.Īfter loading up the file you want to work with I started out by using a glow filter on the dark areas of the photo by using the luminance mask of Studio 2. JPG file in Photoshop (as a smart object if you prefer). If you want to follow along with the same photograph I am using you can download the file here. I already use this as a plug-in from Photoshop, so it was a small step trying to make art using just this piece of software. That is why I tried to create a work similar to how I make them using Photoshop but using the software Studio 2 from Topaz Labs (discount code at the bottom of this page). I use Photoshop on every work I make extensively so the subscription is a no brainer.īut I know it still costs a lot of money to pay for a subscription when you are not often using the software of just use it as a hobby. For me the subscription model is a great way to get all the latest versions and features. Before the existence of the subscription model I owned a copy of Photoshop. ![]() I subscribed to the photographers subscription, combining Adobe Photoshop cc and Adobe Lightroom cc. Using Adobe Photoshop cc needs a subscription. If you want to do this faster and easier I also published a tutorial using Adobe Photoshop cc in combination with Topaz Studio 2 and an even easier method using Photoshop Actions. The most time consuming way to do this is to paint. ![]() When combined, however, they can create an almost limitless assortment of unique art effects.Earlier I published a tutorial on how to turn any photograph into a digital painting using Adobe Photoshop cc. Original enhancement – Make the final result look more natural by intelligently merging it with parts of the original photo, which is also enhanced.Įach one of these key areas can be processed completely independently. One of Simplify’s most magical features.Ĥ. Large image features – Create an artistic base for your work by removing unwanted image elements. Details – Independently adjust smaller image detail to add interesting textures with finer control.ģ. (For example, make the lines thicker, ignore weaker lines, etc.)Ģ. Edge tracing – Automatically trace the important edge features in your photo, and then modify the tracing if needed.

There is no doubt that operating as a co-educational school since 1991 has created this culture, which is embraced and celebrated by all who are involved with St Andrew’s today. A mindfulness-based social and emotional learning curriculum for school-aged children: The MindUP program. ![]() We strongly believe that diversity is good. There is a feeling of genuine inclusiveness at St Andrew’s, with an absence of ‘exclusive’ groups. Together they travel to faraway places, work in disadvantaged communities and work as teams understanding their own individual strengths and abilities. They plan dances and social events, debate, develop business ventures, conduct science experiments and solve complex mathematical problems. ![]() They make films, explore the great outdoors and take on physical challenges. Together the students play sport, create music and stage ambitious productions. From Pre-school to Year 13 they enjoy the ideal preparation for life beyond the school gates. Engages children in easy, kid-friendly mindfulness activities.Helps kids build on their capacity to be mindful, self-regulate, and develop emotional resilience. ![]() We are incredibly proud of our thriving co-educational community at St Andrew’s College, Te Kāreti o Hato Ānaru, where boys and girls explore, learn, create and grow together. This book guides children through the practice of naming their feelings and the sensations that accompany them. MindUP was created in response to the global epidemic of childhood aggression, anxiety, depression, and suicide. Ĭonclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated the need for MindUp curriculum to emphasize well-being enhancement.T In addition, students who receive mindfulness training based on their personality traits, particularly agreeableness and extraversion, can expect more significant outcomes.From the Rector A message from Christine Leighton MindUP The Goldie Hawn Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded to help children develop the mental fitness necessary to thrive in school, work and life. Results: According to the findings, there is a difference in the mean of well-being, agreeableness, and extraversion variables in the experimental and control groups, and the MindUP curriculum improved students' well-being, agreeableness, and extraversion in the intervention group (p≤0/05). The final data analysis was performed by MANCOVA using SPSS with 66 participants. The MindUp curriculum was then presented in 15 sessions over the course of six months to the experimental group, while the control group did not receive any training. Randomly, 35 individuals were assigned to the intervention group and 35 individuals were assigned to the control group.They answered Health-related Quality of Life Index (KIDSCREEN-10) (Erhart et al., 2009) and Big Five Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (BFQ-C) (Markos & Kokkinos, 2017). Method: This study employed an experimental approach with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group.The study population included all elementary school girl students in grades 3-5 in Kerman in 2020-2021. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of MindUp curriculum on well-being and Big Five personality traits, based on Maloney et al. ![]() Given that individual differences can play an important role in the acceptance and effectiveness of mindfulness training, understanding the role of Big Five personality traits in responding to mindfulness interventions seems necessary. Background and Purpose: Few studies have examined the role of mindfulness in well-being in children. You should now be able to use the clipboard with all Java apps. I eventually found the (very old) bug with X11 atoms vs GdkAtoms, and also another one in bitness (64 vs 32 with struct) - both fixed in r490 Thanks for the pointers, proved very useful.

Can someone confirm if it is the case now? Even if the causes are different, I think that the above bug report incorporates a snappet of C code that helps verifying what is going on with the clipboard calls, so it may still be useful. In that case the bug was there only on 64 bit systems. I think that in such case the issue was an atom with zero value getting added to a list of clipboard formats (targets). Maybe it is something similar to this issue that was going on with synergy: In winswitch there is a GUI option when starting a session called: "Clipboard Sharing"Īn almost identical stacktrace (from awt.X11 down) was submitted as #52 Simply using the -no-clipboard allows the application to run.

The iA approach is found to provide recommendation accuracies that are equivalent or better than the two compared approaches. iMacPro unifies these sources in a unique way to perform its task, which was not investigated in the literature previously.Īn empirical study to evaluate the effectiveness of the approaches on open source systems, ArgoUML, JabRef, jEdit, and MuCommander, is reported. to follow these steps:You can access the source code of muCommander by cloning. The basic premise of iMacPro is that the authors and maintainers of the relevant source code, which is change prone, to a given change request are most likely to best assist with its resolution. Forexample, the older version of muCommander 0.9.2has 1,100Java files. Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) and a lightweight analysis of source code, and its commits from the software repository, are used. The second approach, namely, iMacPro, amalgamates the textual similarity between the given change request and source code, change proneness information, authors, and maintainers of a software system. A file manager written in java to replace Windows Commander and Midnight Commander alternatives. It is inspired by Total Commander and features some new ideas. open source systems, ArgoUML, JabRef, jEdit, and MuCommander, is reported. Double Commander is a cross platform open source file manager with two panels side by side. The approach fundamentally differs from its previously reported counterparts, as it does not require software repository mining. The relevant source code files to the textual description of a change request. The authors listed in the header comments in these files are then analyzed to arrive at a ranked list of the most suitable developers. The relevant source code files to the textual description of a change request are first located. ![]() ![]() The first approach, namely iA, employs a combination of an information retrieval technique and processing of the source code authorship information. The thesis proposes two approaches to address this task. Therein, automatically assigning the most appropriate developer(s) to resolve an incoming change request is an important task. It is not uncommon in open source projects to receive numerous change requests daily, which need to be triaged. Software change requests, such as bug fixes and new features, are an integral part of software evolution and maintenance.

At Creative Market, we’ve got a wide range of hand-drawn stock art and fonts that can help you on your way: There’s nothing wrong with beginning with some hand-drawn vector elements or hand-drawn typefaces in order to get started. Of course, there’s no need to start completely from scratch if you’re going down this route on your own. So there you have it, a selection of our favorite hand-drawn inspired sites. ![]() This bohemian jewelry brand uses fresh, simple hand drawn illustrations and type to showcase all kinds of accessories. A number of vintage illustrations create that classic mood that allowed a relatively young gin (est. Hendrick’s brands itself as a “most unusual gin”, and its website certainly sends that message. This suits the product being promoted well, with lots of the Lovd brand tees featuring strong, sexy type. ![]() But it’s accented with some lovely hand-crafted lettering. The majority of design elements on this fashion retailer’s site fit the 2016 trend of big, full-screen imagery and clean, clear type. Salt Films provides a showcase for their director’s films, and does so with an entirely hand-driven aesthetic. But in a sea of design sameness, it’s sometimes refreshing to play around with a UI that breaks free from the mould and gets a little playful. It’s pretty rare seeing a full-on flash site these days. Scroll up and down throughout this fish and chip shop’s humble website and you’ll see some charming typography and texture that’s clearly been inspired by chalkboards and a rustic restaurant vibe. It’s an interesting movement that’s worth checking out, if only for their simple, subtle website that uses elements of hand-drawn illustration to complement the remaining minimalist content. The Do Lectures are an unconventional collection of design talks and get-togethers aimed at entrepreneurs and wannabe world-changers. Simple, hand-sketched diagrams of common household objects provide a nice companion to the text, which makes up the bulk of the site’s content. The use of illustration here is subtle, but effective. His art is intricate and witty, and it’s paired with a typeface that’s a bit rough around the edges (in a good way that is). That look is reflected here in this brand’s beautiful hand-crafted digital look and feel.įittingly, the home of artist Kevin Cornell is full of his own illustrations. Take a walk through most local or inner-city cafes these days and you’ll see an authentic, hand-crafted vibe. Big blocks of text are broken up by simple, subtle illustrations and offset with a nice bit of texture here and there. Rather than making every element of the UI hand-drawn, this agency’s website uses illustrated elements to complement the rest of the site’s content. We predict there’ll be a resurgence of this hand-drawn vibe, and to get you in the mood, here’s a handful of our favorite hand-drawn sites out there on the web. Imperfect, sketchy lines, and textured, paper backgrounds can come together to create a lovely organic style. ![]() But there’s an aesthetic that seems to have been forgotten as of late.

![]() Thus you need to come up with a system where,ģ, They need you to be outside of their jurisdiction in a free state. Their second weakness is no mater how much they threaten, tourture, or drug you, you can not tell them what you do not know. They are still as limited as you are by both time and location which levels the playing field quite a bit. Their first weakness is that money and political power make you neither omnipotent or omnipresent. What you need to do is play against their weaknesses by turning them into your strengths (yes it sounds trite but it is nevertheless true). That’s a threat I’ve been thinking about after a conversation with P some years ago and it turns out there are several ways to beat it. OTOOH, if “they” want your comms, they will just use a $5 wrench. Of course, this would be at a disadvantage against more modern ciphers, if those modern ciphers were done on a trustworthy (not a “trusted”) system. OTOH, Snefru was designed (again IIRC) to be efficiently implemented in software on non-bleeding-edge machines. Probably the former, as IIRC Lucifer was vulnerable to differential cryptanalysis (hence the “odd” changes made at NSA suggestion), but it can be implemented on a 8-bit computer from the 1970s, so there is that. Why they didn’t just use a software simulator and lower their CAPEX, I don’t know, but maybe they had been following Clive and taken his (excellent) advice to have the security endpoints “outside” the communications endpoint.Īnyway, were i to do this (“historical” cipher over “modern” comm channel), I’d probably start with Snefru or Lucifer. J1:16 I have considered such a thing, and there was an episode of the US “Sherlock in or times” series “Elemental” which involved one of the villains using an Enigma. Honours are reserved for hierarchy baboons in both the military and civil service and those in industry who either push weapons of war into third world countries or give generous kick backs to political funds in return not just for honours but no look lucrative contracts… The UK still has a very bad attitude to creators and scientists. However from his work in the US a military high resiliance network was built which is still in use in NATO countries, and a spin off in most other parts of the world as well, which most know as either the Internet or Web. He was still living under this cloud when he died of a serious illness. Unfortunately the British authorities played dirty yet again and had Welchman put into a legal limbo where his security clearance was revoked and they threatened to prosecute as at that time things were getting “political” in Britain. It lead to a bitter row and Welchman leaving Britain for the US, where he wrote his book. However Welchman did not officially get credit, apparently that went to “Doc” Kean who made the engineering drawings up from Welchman’s sketches. Apparently what blew Turings sicks off was when he sketched out the diagonal board design infront of Turing. Eventually he was told about the Turing bombe after he had exolained his own method. On approaching his managment he was initially given the cold shoulder. He did this in his spare time over about a three week period. However Gordon Welchman was brought in compleatly uninitiated and came up with a design for his own bombe in issolation not knowing of Turings previous work. The story is Turing took considerable time to improve the Polish bomba possibly due to having to spend quite a bit of time dealing with incompetent managment. Sadly, Bletchley didn’t use Rejewki and company. Welchman came up with the diagonal board which cut down false stops. That’s not to say I would not like to own one, I could add it to my collection of cold war spy-sets and similar bits such as the 807 based antenna amplifier from a Y-Station. All in all even in a software implementation they really are not worth the effort from a security perspective. That’s not to say that rotor machines can not be secure in certain circumstances, but you really need to know what you are doing with wiring the rotors and stepping them. In essence you can ignore them and break the rotor polyalphabetic cipher then do a fairly simple “fix-up” frequency analysis to get the plain text. Nor will any rotor machine that uses an Enigma style “reflector”, “predictable rotor stepping”, or deficient rotor wiring…Īlso the “plug board” and “hour box” whilst apparently adding many many more states actually do not do that much as they become a simple substitution cipher for the whole time they are in use at any given setting. ![]() As a security researcher it really is important for you to emphasize that the four-rotor design is not secure | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | TQ |IN-OUT| PQ Distrib | Select /*+ no_merge parallel(2) pq_distribute(t2 hash hash) */ * from t1, t2 But if we change the query as below then explain plan will be: Degree of Parallelism is 2 because of hintĪs you see in the line of 3 the hash join is considered as BUFFERED.

Regardless of that fact in some cases execution plan contains BUFFERED variant of HASH JOIN but in other cases does not. So, it is a general restriction of producer/consumer model but not of Oracle database`s. That is right, only single PX SEND operation can be active concurrently, it means(depending on plan shape) only pair of DFO can be active at the time for per DFO Tree. I do not think it is the complete answer. ![]() At most a single PX SEND operation can be active concurrently was mentioned as a reason of it. ![]() But why is it required in the execution plan?. Several years ago Randolf Geist wrote an article about the HASH JOIN BUFFERED operation and precisely demonstrated that only the second row source is buffered (and only proper part of it). |
