![]() ![]() This was the work of just a few minutes, and I’m a novice at selections. You can see the Selection Refine Brush has done a very good job of selecting strands of hair. In this photo, everything not in red is selected. You can further refine the end result with global corrections such as smooth edge or feathering. The brush does such a good job at picking out fine detail that it’s a waste of time to attempt precision yourself. I started with a quick freehand selection around the edge of the subject and well within the hairline so that any intricate hairs could be selected later with the refine brush. Despite this shaky start, I was soon impressed. I had trouble even accessing it at first until I realized the chosen selection tool must be docked for the button to appear. I never need to make intricate selections in my day-to-day photography, but perhaps that makes me a good candidate for testing the new Selection Refine Brush in Paintshop Pro 2020. Paintshop Pro offers Object Remover and Scratch Remover tools to intelligently fill in areas of an image, though you have to be reasonable in your expectations as to what these things can do. This tool is not an equivalent to content-aware fill in Photoshop. By placing the clone onto a duplicate layer with a layer mask, I was able to refine the original rectangular selection using the Paint Brush with “Smart Edge” tool.Ī neat feature of the SmartClone tool is the ability to save selections as presets, so you can use them with future images. I used the SmartClone tool to superimpose Proust’s face onto a separate image of the beach at Cabourg – a scene he’d have known well. It seems to have a very subtle HDR effect that perks many photos up. More useful, I think, is “Local Tone Mapping” at its default low settings. You need to be careful with this if you don’t want to blow highlights. The “Histogram Equalize” adjustment in PSP 2020 evens up the tonal range of the image, often brightening it. For instance, the “Histogram” adjustment layer is a kind of advanced blend of Levels and Curves. There are a few things you may not have seen before. Paintshop Pro offers most of the features you’d expect in an advanced pixel editor when it comes to correcting color and tone. All adjustment layers have built-in layer masks for selective editing. Some of the editing choices are not available as layers, though you can always apply these to a duplicate layer. ![]() Just like Photoshop, Paintshop Pro 2020 gives you the choice of editing photos on adjustment layers or independently. But if you’re coming from years in Photoshop, you’ll probably skip to the Complete workspace where all things are possible. It’d be a good place to start for beginners. The new “touch-ready” Photography workspace is inviting since it doesn’t distract you with a bewildering set of tools. The first thing to do in Paintshop Pro 2020 Ultimate is to choose from three workspaces: Photography, Essentials and Complete. The latter works well with layers since you can adjust the opacity to achieve optimum results. A notable exception to this is DNG support, but it does have lens corrections, layers and Perfectly Clear auto image enhancement. Although not as sophisticated as the pro version, Aftershot 3 Standard offers much more than the in-program raw conversion tool of PSP 2020. The latter lets you create Lightroom-style catalogs, so all changes to images are stored inside the program instead of in separate XMP sidecar files. ![]() Aftershot 3Īftershot 3 is a pared-down version of Corel’s Aftershot Pro, which you can upgrade to for a modest sum. Since many of our pictures start out as raw files, it seems apt to look at these facilities first. Paintshop Pro Ultimate comes with Corel Aftershot 3 raw processing software as well as its own in-built raw conversion. The new touch-ready Photography Workspace may not suit everyone, but it’s uncluttered and armed with enough tools to rifle through many pictures. ![]()

![]() ![]() I don’t remember having any issues going through the lessons, and always felt more than ready moving to the practice portion, then the test portion of each lesson. I only got 2 questions incorrect on the math portion of the TABE test. I was more than satisfied with the math help program. I now feel fully prepared for the College Algebra class I'm taking next semester. The three instructors are great and teach each subject clearly and in a detailed manner.Whether your child is struggling in elementary school, or you are a college student who needs some extra help, is the solution to your needs.I aced my placement test. The videos really make it so easy to learn. The reinforcement of each concept is helpful. If you get one wrong, you are given a step-by-step explanation on how to get the correct answer. The video, followed by practice, followed by the questions were so easy to follow. I went through the entire course and took the final exam a few times as reinforcement.The courses are put together in an easy-to-follow manner and provide everything you will need to pass any math test. The course covers everything you will need to know. I came across many sites, but had the best setup, so I signed up. I needed to study and searched for online courses. To avoid prerequisite math classes, I needed to pass their placement test.It has been a “a few years” since I took a math class. I need to take College Algebra to obtain my degree. I am a 50+ who decided to go back to school late in life. ![]() The videos are high quality, the instructor is very knowledgable and straight to the point. This website is amazing! Anything you need for ANY standardized test is on this website. I love this program and use it every morning to prepare for an upcoming standardized math test. Math is my weakest subject but this program explains everything perfectly! It has practice, self-tests, printable work sheets (you can also just copy it all down on paper), instructional videos and even notes. Plenty of practice, and the video teacher is easy to understand and she talks clear! There are challenges and more. User friendly and I especially like the teachers lessons. It allows me to work independently at my pace. I am an adult and preparing for a standardized test. This site is excellent for all levels of skill. I was very afraid to take standardized tests, but this site made it possible for me to have the courage to do it. The best program for math test prep that I have found so far! Lynda Better than using the book because of the teachers and practice tests, it is like having your own tutor, but a lot less maintenance. There are about 50 standardized math test prep courses right here. I really can’t say enough about this – you really hit a home run! Charles I was extremely happy to find that you have courses specifically geared toward the different standardized tests. Thank you for all your great website offers! Lisa The algebra is also good review work for the sophomore’s PSAT math prep, and the geometry lessons help re-enforce her initial geometry course work in her compacted summer course. For the rising senior, the geometry and algebra offerings also serve as review for her SAT and ACT prep. NateĪs homeschool high school students, my senior and sophomore are both currently attending a geometry course that is well supplemented by the math course offerings at. I appreciated the preparation Math Help gave me on the PSAT math. She really liked it, so I decided to purchase access for the entire year. I actually purchased access to this program for my daughter to brush up on her math skills prior to taking the PSAT this fall. ![]() The more work I do the better I will do in future tests. I am currently doing more course work on your site. The PSAT and SAT are just around the corner… it’s just a great program. I will probably sign up for the whole year after the summer months are done because I have three children who are in Algebra 1 and 2 next year… We are also going to use it for test prep. I know that this programs works, because it helped my daughter when the teacher just couldn’t explain it properly. So we gave your course a shot and it worked perfectly for her! Darcy What she needed was to actually LEARN the math behind the test. We considered Kaplan, but it cost a fortune and really only gives a bunch of practice problems. My daughter has really struggled with math and the PSAT was approaching. ![]() ![]() ![]() Honestly, it's no wonder that so many people have developed certain preconceived notions and biases regarding the medium when they have all of their opinions spoon-fed to them by YouTube anime celebrities, several of whom forego factual accuracy and logical reasoning in lieu of waaaaaaaaacky epic memes and long-winded rambling. IMO, his presentation and persona are incredibly obnoxious. However, I think that some anime fans (particularly lapsed fans, some of whom have an idealized perception of previous eras of anime) have a tendency to let outside influences (such as the aforementioned YouTubers and other uninformed people) dictate their beliefs and/or confirm their pre-existing biases. Now, none of this is to say that people's grievances are wrong. When you've no clue as to what is actually happening in the anime industry, get all of your information from second-hand sources, and compare everything to your limited sample size (usually comprised of only good anime and none of the bad) of anime from yesteryear, you'll probably start chanting that mantra as well. ![]() It's easy to believe that anime has died when other jaded, equally-uninformed people are constantly re-affirming that notion by repeating "modern anime is nothing but isekai and moe, nothing is on par with " like a mantra. But if you actually do your research, you can find an anime that suits you. Now, not only are we exposed to almost everything that airs in a given season, but there are more seasonal anime than ever-ergo, it's much easier to come into contact with "bad" anime. In previous decades, it was easier to curate content or come into contact with "good" anime after all, streaming websites and social media were not nearly as ubiquitous, and companies/networks had a tendency to expose audiences to only the specific anime that they saw fit for Western consumption. So many people only tend to focus on the "bad"-fanservice, moe, anything they don't personally approve of-and ignore the things that would appeal to their tastes. In fact, Gundam is undergoing a bit of a renaissance-there are several new anime in the works.Īlso, I can safely say that the majority of anime airing this season (let alone any other season) are not about T&A or incest.Īs an aside, I think that it's time for some people to realize that there have always been good, bad, and mediocre anime in every season the mid-late 00s were no exception. The four anime that you've mentioned aired over a period of six years (2006-2012)-is it so hard to believe that quality anime have aired over the last six years? Have you looked at One Punch Man, Kekkai Sensen, Mob Psycho 100, Garo: The Animation, Devilman Crybaby, Ping Pong, or Hibike! Euphonium? As for Gundam, Gundam Build Fighters, Iron-Blooded Orphans, Gundam: The Origin, and Gundam Thunderbolt are highly-regarded. Huh? It's nonsensical to take a comedically-exaggerated Youtube video, focusing on a single season of anime, as evidence that the medium has unequivocally changed and nothing good exists nowadays. ![]() In general if it's prominently featuring young girls I just skip cause the chances of it being creepy are too high. I don't have time for those creepy fanservice, idol, or cute girls doing cute things anime though. Otherwise I'm also watching Golden Kamuy, Hinomaruzumou, Karakuri Circus (could become pretty good), and Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-San (pretty fun). If this interests you, read the manga though, it's better. The second half of the show should be really good if it's anything like the manga though.
![]() The object of this paper is to cause just such a re-evaluation of the program about to be "explained". With that thought, he moves the program in question from the shelf marked "intelligent", to that reserved for curios. The observer says to himself "I could have written that". But once a particular program is unmasked, once its inner workings are explained, its magic crumbles away it stands revealed as a mere collection of procedures. In artificial intelligence, machines are made to behave in wondrous ways, often sufficient to dazzle even the most experienced observer. However Weizenbaum himself did not claim that ELIZA was genuinely intelligent, and the introduction to his paper presented it more as a debunking exercise: The notoriety of Turing's proposed test stimulated great interest in Joseph Weizenbaum's program ELIZA, published in 1966, which seemed to be able to fool users into believing that they were conversing with a real human. This criterion depends on the ability of a computer program to impersonate a human in a real-time written conversation with a human judge to the extent that the judge is unable to distinguish reliably-on the basis of the conversational content alone-between the program and a real human. In 1950, Alan Turing's famous article " Computing Machinery and Intelligence" was published, which proposed what is now called the Turing test as a criterion of intelligence. Companies spanning a wide range of industries have begun using the latest generative artificial intelligence technologies to power more advanced developments in such areas. Ī major area where chatbots have long been used is in customer service and support, with various sorts of virtual assistants. Chatbots can also be designed or customized to further target even more specific situations and/or particular subject-matter domains. Such examples reflect the recent practice of basing such products upon broad foundational large language models, such as GPT-4 or the Gemini language model, that get fine-tuned so as to target specific tasks or applications (i.e., simulating human conversation, in the case of chatbots). Since late 2022, the field has gained widespread attention due to the popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT, followed by alternatives such as Microsoft's Copilot and Google's Gemini. ![]() Such chatbots often use deep learning and natural language processing, but simpler chatbots have existed for decades. ![]() Modern chatbots are typically online and use generative artificial intelligence systems that are capable of maintaining a conversation with a user in natural language and simulating the way a human would behave as a conversational partner. A chatbot (originally chatterbot ) is a software application or web interface that is designed to mimic human conversation through text or voice interactions. ![]() ![]() ![]() I had the opportunity to talk to the author about her background, and the reasons she was inspired to write this book.

I received a copy of this book and compensation in exchange for my honest review. I may receive a commission from purchases you make through the links in this post. Standard Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. I also had the opportunity to interview the author, and created some fun activities to pair with the book. Today I am happy to share a cute kids book about language arts, collective nouns, and animals. Some of them are funny, some of them are the same across different species. ![]() As a result the book may be entertaining but it is hard for me to take it seriously as a reference.Did you know that a group of geese is called a gaggle? How about a group of dolphins being a pod? I have always found collective nouns to be interesting. The Internet has seen a blossoming of homegrown collective terms: Some of them are quite terrible, and some were clever enough to include here, but for the most part we tried to list only those that have some attributable source or, barring that, a prettiness to their turn of phrase that we couldn’t resist." The problem is that the entries in the book do not cite sources or otherwise inform the reader of which entries are jest, of dubious merit or included simply for prettiness of phrase. We include many modern terms, some presented in jest, some presented in the same respectful spirit as the classic terms of venery. We include many phrases that would probably make a well-schooled English lord from the fifteenth century scoff at our ignorance (Shakespeare himself often made game of gentlemen who did not, as in Hamlet, know “a hawk from a handsaw”), and some whose etymological lineage is of dubious merit. The introduction clears up some of the mystery, "We approach them as they were originally presented: a healthy and lively mixture of terms of utility, terms of jest, and terms of poetry. Rereading the forward and the introduction, I found that, in the forward, the claim is made that the authors did not create any of the nouns themselves. Though there is a business in Alaska called Aardvark's Armory. For both terms the source referenced in the internet listings which I consulted is this book itself. Why would a group of aardvarks be called an armory other than the sound of the words? The same is true for a zeal of zebras. The cover itself contains two of those about which I have doubts. This review is from: A Compendium of Collective Nouns: From an Armory of Aardvarks to a Zeal of Zebras (Kindle Edition)įrom the beginning I was suspicious of the validity of some of these collective nouns. A source of entertainment perhaps but not to be relied upon., May 31, 2016 Some of the nouns appear to be made up with no academic provenance. ![]() ![]() ![]() 4th Ban in 4 days going hard, looking for another today.

The Flower and Compass can effectively give you four teleports home, and is easily replenished with each trip to Ambrosia. The Compass works anywhere in Sosaria, Ambrosia, or even during combat or in a Dungeon (have not confirmed if it works in Exodus). If you collect this flower and provide it to Sherry in the Royal City of Britain, she will reward you with a Heart Compass.Ī single Flower can be carried by each character, and each character is capable of carrying a single Heart Compass in return. Just west of the heart of Ambrosia, you can locate a small vale which will provide you with a flower. In the NES port, four characters in different towns (Britain, Montor West, Yew) talk about bringing flowers to Noriko/Sherry, a girl who lives in the royal town of Britain. There you can save your progress without fear of losing the accomplishment of reaching Ambrosia, though reaching the Inn can be quite a feat on its own, and will require a key to open the door that it is hidden behind. One more feature unique to the NES version is the existence of an Inn in the northern holds of Ambrosia. Pirates, Man-O-Wars and some Daemons are still present, though. In the NES port, the number of land enemies in Ambrosia is dramatically reduced in the NES version. Be aware that, although your curiosity may be piqued by the presence of several doors found throughout Ambrosia, there is no benefit to opening them and searching for whatever lies beyond them (except for one door in the NES version as described below). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If altitude EF is 16 cm long, find the altitude of the parallelogram to the base AB of.

Avoid excessive scratching of the itchy areas because this can lead to a skin infection. More severe cases can require treatment with prescription medications. ![]() Topical steroids, such as hydrocortisone cream, and antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine ( Benadryl®), can be used to treat itching. ![]() Baking soda baths and pastes can be helpful as well. Cool compresses and soaking in Epsom salts or oatmeal baths can soothe the rash. Drying your skin with a towel instead of air drying might help remove some of the cercariae from the skin. If you suspect swimmer’s itch, you should take a shower if you have not already done so after getting out of the water. Most cases of swimmer’s itch can be easily treated at home. Severe symptoms, including fevers, diarrhea, and nausea, occur rarely. Because it is an allergic reaction and not a true infection, swimmer’s itch is not contagious. While the swimmers’ itch rash is uncomfortable, it is generally self-limited and not dangerous. This helps to differentiate swimmer’s itch from saltwater seabathers’ eruption, which primarily affects the skin under swimsuits. The rash typically involves areas of the body that were exposed to contaminated water, with areas of skin covered by bathing suits usually being spared. The rash can appear similar to pimples, chickenpox, or blisters and is often red, itchy, or burning in nature. Within a few minutes to a couple of days after swimming in contaminated water, a rash can develop. They die, and their remains in human skin can cause the characteristic itchy rash (cercarial dermatitis). The cercariae can painlessly burrow into human skin, but they are not able to survive there. The cercariae can be encountered by swimmers, particularly in shallow and marshy areas, although they are too small to see. The snails release a different larval form of the parasite called cercariae. ![]() If the parasite eggs are released into or near water, they can hatch into larvae (immature forms), which can then infect fresh-water snails. The adult parasites produce eggs, which are passed in the feces of these animals. Several species of birds (e.g., geese, ducks, gulls) and mammals (e.g., beavers, raccoons) that live near water can be infected with parasites. Swimmer’s itch is a water-borne parasitic disease, and the normal life cycle of the disease-causing parasite involves different animals. ![]() |
