![]() The phenomenon, known scientifically as the aurora borealis, typically occurs closer to the North Pole, near Alaska and Canada.īut the storm could push the aurora lights farther south Thursday and Friday, and if weather conditions permit, could be seen in regions of Pennsylvania, Iowa and Oregon. this week due to a strong geomagnetic storm, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Northern Lights may be visible in the mainland U.S. Army Alaska, soldiers from Alpha Company, 70th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, based at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, conduct unscheduled field maintenance under the Northern Lights on a squad vehicle in preparation for platoon external evaluations at Donnelly Training Area, near Fort Greely. The Aurora this night was seen over many parts of the Northern Hemisphere north of the tropics, courtesy of an unusually large geomagnetic storm.In this Sept. This occurred on the night of November 5th and 6th, 2001 where amazing Aurora displays were seen as far south as Texas, Arizona and San Diego, CAĪn NWS employee formerly in Rapid City SD, took this spectacular picture of an Aurora Borealis display on November 5th, 2001. ![]() Displays this far south can occur when a large coronal mass ejection from the Sun creates a huge geomagnetic storm in the Earth's outer atmosphere. ![]() Although most common in the northern latitudes, the Aurora have been occasionally seen south of 35 degrees north latitude which encompasses the far southern United States. They also usually show a greater frequency during the winter months, where the nights are longer and the skies generally void of haze. Aurora displays usually increase during times of the solar maximum. This means in general that in these latitudes, the Aurora should occur on at least half of the nights throughout the year. In the northern hemisphere, there is a 50% or greater chance of seeing Aurora roughly between the latitudes of 55 to 80 degrees north. Although harmless to life on Earth, the Aurora can cause power disruptions in satellite communications and in radio/TV broadcasts.Īurora Displays: The northern latitudes (or southern latitudes in the southern hemisphere) see the greatest occurrence of the Aurora. The Aurora are constantly changing and moving in streams of light or curtains, because the process of how the Sun's ionized gas interacts with the Earth's magnetic field is very dynamic. ![]() As electrons pass through the neon tubing, they glow, thus producing the light in a neon sign. This is the same principal as how a neon sign lights up. Some of the ions become trapped and will consequently interact with the Earth's ionosphere (an average of 60-80 miles above the surface), causing the ions to glow. As the plasma comes in contact with the Earth's magnetic field, the ions will be agitated into moving around the Earth. What Causes the Aurora? The Sun emits electrically-charged particles called ions, which correspondingly move away from the Sun in a stream of plasma (ionized gas) known as the solar wind. The Aurora Australis is the southern hemisphere counterpart to the Aurora Borealis. The Aurora Borealis (commonly referred to as the Northern Lights) are the result of interactions between the Sun and Earth's outer atmosphere. ![]() The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.

The ikan PD Movie Air Pro Wireless Follow Focus is available in a few configurations and can be already ordered from authorized retailers.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. To use a different mobile device, all you need to do is replace a small accessory clamp. The PD Movie Remote Air Pro is compatible with the iPhone 6s/6s Plus/iPod touch and the Apple Watch. This way every slight rotation is clearly visible on the OLED screen and even the most subtle adjustments will be recognized by the system. The Remote Air Pro controller handwheel has a resolution of 7200 dpi compared to the first generation Remote Air, which had a 500 dpi resolution only. There are a few significant enhancements regarding the precision of control over the lenses as well. The hand controller features an internal 600mAH battery that can power the attached device while it is connected to the hand controller for extended battery run time. Regarding power management, the hand controller incorporates a 5V USB port for charging the unit or for providing power to your iOS device through the included Lightning cable. This approach allows the system to operate consistently without delay and support a transmission distance of up to 300 feet. The Remote Air Pro not only controls each channel separately but it can also be used to switch the two motors to the same channel. The controller, on the other hand, is synced with the motor using 2.4 GHz wireless technology and the full duplex mode. Using the PD Movie Remote Air app, your iPhone is connected to the controller utilizing its Bluetooth capabilities. There is also an option to use the luminous ring to mark any lens points. A wireless follow focus system will provide you exceptional functionality for use in a wide variety of situations. These systems allow camera operators to make careful lens adjustments with ease. ![]() Users can access their account on different iOS systems as well as backup and share their lenses to the database. A vast number of stills and cine lenses are already available as presets in the app. The new App interface allows users to mark the lens parameters directly on it for precision. In a professional video production environment where time is money and precision is a necessity, a wireless follow focus system from Ikan is a must-have tool. ![]() The PD Movie Remote Air Pro sports high-precision brushless motor that generates low noise and runs smoothly even at high-speed rotations. Due to its internal structure, the controller motor accommodates both the driver and receiver which makes it lighter, thinner and extremely compact. The standard motors can be added for dual and triple channel use and can be even daisy chained thus providing unlimited channels and series connections which make the system a viable option for 3D filming.įurthermore, the Remote Air app contains a large database of current lens parameters. ![]() According to Ikan, the system can operate any available lens on the market by utilizing the full functionality of the dedicated Remote Air App, specially designed to control the wireless system. It’s the perfect fit for gimbal and Steadicam work as well as hand-held setups. In essence, it’s an innovative wireless follow focus system with a slick and distinctive unibody design, a rapid response system compatible with a bunch of iOS devices.įurther, the current Pro version of the unit is the lightest and thinnest PD Movie Remote system to date. A unit that indeed have attracted the attention of many professionals since it’s been released is the PD Movie Remote Air Pro by Ikan Corporation. It’s been a while since we last covered a reliable wireless follow focus system that deserved more in-depth consideration. ![]() Sensitivity - "Sensitivity" is from 0 to 99, defines how sensitively the back-end API detects anomalies.We have the ability to work with these parameters: "Entire" mode creates and trains one model for the entire time series and detects anomalies over the entire model and all data points at once.Īnomaly detection can be configured by entering parameter values in the request. For example, it is suitable for data from Google Analytics. Each point in time is analyzed based on a model trained by previous data. The output after calling this API is a set of parameters that say whether it is an anomaly at a given point in time and whether it was a decrease or an increase.Īzure anomaly detector REST API works in two optional modes. Examples include Jupyter Notebooks, Postman, Visual Studio, or Azure-enabled services such as Databricks, or Azure Machine Learning with integrated notebooks.Īzure anomaly detection REST API is a service provided by Azure as one of the Cognitive services accessible via the Azure portal where you can obtain the authorization key and endpoint that are necessary for later calls. The Rest API can be called from any tool that can call GET requests. The only condition is that the data must be in a defined structure: timestamp + selected value The Azure anomaly detector REST API is a service that provides the ability to detect anomalies in time series from any data source. The predicted value is then compared to the actual measured value and the points at which it is actually measured are identified. This prediction always has a certain sensitivity/confidence interval in which it moves (light blue area in the image below). ![]() In general, the anomaly detection algorithm predicts the value at a selected point based on previous observations. In the first part Azure Cognitive Services demos in practice, we focused on the Anomaly Detector service and AML Notebooks. It is a package of 25 tools that through APIs allow the developers to add a variety of features to their applications. All it takes is an API call to embed the ability to see, hear, speak, search, understand, and accelerate decision-making. They are available widely to developers without requiring machine-learning expertise. ![]() Azure Cognitive Servicesīefore we explain the practical use of Azure Cognitive Services, introducing all areas can give a good picture of how technology collaboration and accessibility can create an empowering experience for the end-user.Īzure Cognitive Services is a set of machine learning algorithms developed to solve problems in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). ![]() We started the practical part of the workshop with an overview of the areas of Azure Cognitive Services and then we moved to use cases of Anomaly Detector, text, and vision services. At the first sight, it may seem like too much science behind, yet the algorithms can be implemented easier than you might think and help you with your marketing or occupational safety within your business. Technology incorporating machine learning, natural language processing, human-computer interaction, and more are described as cognitive computing. If you combine artificial intelligence with signal processing, you can improve everyday tasks such as safety equipment checks, anomaly detection, or reading documents. Phill圜HEEEEEZ: (Busting through the wall a la Kool-Aid Man) STOP! it's not.ĭFS Bro 1: Woah, dude! Jean Segura's Sum-Z score is insane today! He's at 18.453!ĭFS Bro 2: Holy crap man! Lock that guy in at SS right away!ĭFS Bro 1: Totally man! And look, he only costs $2,500 tonight too!ĭFS Bro 2: Did someone say VALUEEEEEEE?!?!?!? ![]() This is not fabricated in any way, shape or form. Let's take a look at a real life occurrence when I saved someone from making the worst decision of their life by almost playing Jean Segura. As with any statistical analysis, you need to look deeper. This doesn't mean that the Sum-Z score is a be-all and end-all solution for finding out who to play. And at a salary of $2,900 on FanDuel tonight, you better believe I'm going to have him in my lineups. It's important to note here that Billy Butler is facing Justin Verlander tonight, a pitcher he is notorious for completely owning (Holy crap is this analysis actually working!? :P). ![]() This means that, overall, his individual Z-scores are more often larger than the mean than smaller. In today's analysis we can see that Billy Butler has the highest Sum-Z value at 28.180. What this represents is the overall statistical difference from the mean for an individual batter. For the purpose of this analysis, however, I've decided to sum each player's Z-scores. Now that the data is normalized, it is much easier for us to understand and we can compare one statistic to another much easier. The lower the Z score, the smaller the observation is than the mean. The higher the Z score, the larger the observation is than the mean. It then standardizes each stat for each batter by converting them into Z-scores, which represents the number of standard deviations an observed point of data is above or below the mean. This analysis of Batter vs Pitcher data investigates each hitter's statistics against the pitcher they are scheduled to face on a given night. Why not use what I've been learning in my educational studies and apply it to lineup analysis? My Daily Batter vs Pitcher (and soon to come Last 15 days) analysis was born and I've never looked back! I started out slow and didn't really make a profit for a few months. ![]() I've been an avid member of the DFS scene for over a year now and I absolutely love it. I'm 26 and just recently earned my Master's Degree in Data Analytics. ![]() Seeing as this is the first of many (hopefully) daily analyses I will be posting I see fit to introduce myself. Please check our MLB Batter Splits Tool each morning for the most accurate BvP, Lefty/Righty, Home/Road and Day/Night splits.As an homage to /u/BleedingFromEyes and all his fantastic (and very much appreciated!) insight into the daily NBA fantasy scene, I decided that I will do something along those lines for the 2014 MLB season for those of us who play on FanDuel. The starting pitcher schedule may change and thus BvP splits would change. Please note that this sheet will be posted each Sunday during the MLB season. Each day’s BvP Splits are separated into two pages.

We ran out of coffee creamer, so my dad went to the freezer, took out a container of Warm Hugs, and put some in his coffee.” The creamer came about while I was at home visiting family. “It’s the ice cream base before it goes in the ice cream machine. Two flavors of coffee creamer, Warm Hugs and Peppermint, came about by accident. Those that love the classics can enjoy flavors like Small & Mighty Mint Chip. There are also grown-up flavors like I Love You So Much Matcha, with fresh matcha from local Rishi paired with an ice cream base. Big League Scoop is a bubble gum flavored base with sprinkles. Strawberry Pop Tart Pie has crumbles of the popular breakfast pastries crumbled into a strawberry base. The popular Warm Hugs is a chai flavored ice cream with pieces of vanilla cinnamon Oreos sprinkled throughout. A glance at the menu easily transports you back to childhood. The flavors are driven by nostalgia, along with Menzia’s desire to offer flavors that nobody else has. “After ice cream school, I was able to crack the code and make my own oat milk.” She learned formulas and how to find plant alternatives for dairy recipes. She changed her recipe after taking the Ice Cream Short Course at Penn State’s Department of Food Science this past winter. It was challenging, and it took a lot of feedback.” “The base I have now tastes so much different than the base I started with. I could focus on getting licensing, find a commercial kitchen, and put time into it to build the business into something real.” Flavors Inspired by NostalgiaĪfter a lot of time, trial and error, Menzia tweaked her ice cream base by adding oat milk. “My life had slowed down, and I wasn’t doing anything socially. ![]() When the pandemic hit, she was laid off from her graphic design job and had more time on her hands. She won a $7,500 grant in the Brewed Ideas Challenge, which allowed her to buy a vending cart. Liv A Little launched in the spring of 2019, shortly before Menzia graduated from Marquette. “They said, ‘you should sell this.’ I said, ‘OK, I will!’” “So many people enjoyed it and didn’t even realize it was dairy-free,” Menzia says. Using a coconut milk base, she hit on some vegan ice cream recipes that went over well at parties and potlucks. Menzia’s not vegan, but she started experimenting with dairy-free recipes when she found that many of her friends with dietary restrictions couldn’t enjoy her ice cream. Her 18 flavors of vegan ice cream have become popular with vegans and non-vegans. Then she received an ice cream maker during her senior year at Marquette University, which ultimately led her to form Liv A Little Ice Cream LLC. Although she seemed destined to be in the ice cream business, it wasn’t on her radar. While growing up in Prospect Heights, Illinois, her grandfather had worked on an ice cream truck, and her father scooped ice cream while in high school. Finally, you can also draw four long legs using more rectangles.Olivia “Liv” Menzia had always loved ice cream. The body is also made from a large circular shape. First, you can draw a large circle to form the head. Then, I will show you how to play with proportions to create more cool animals like this one! step 1 - drawing a few basic shapesĪdding a basic template to set up the character inside the working area is always a good idea.
The darkness in Academy City never ceases to disappear and in this season, you’ll witness plenty the machinations from the science side. That’s the Railgun we all came to know from day one. Similarly, she is devoted to protect her friends from the darkness of Academy City. It serves her right as someone who genuinely cares about the welfare of the city. Misaka plays the role of not an enforcer but as a protector. The level 5 espers are appointed as representatives although the event itself gets chaotic. One such event is the Daihasaei Sports Festival, a chance for the city’s citizens to compete in friendly competition. However, Academy City itself is constantly changing every day and there are events that influences the city greatly. She’s already an established character and at this point really needs no more character development. She’s still the electrifying Misaka we all know from the previous seasons so don’t much expect change about her character Without further ado, we are reintroduced to Misaka Mikoto, the level 5 Esper, aka the Railgun of Academy City. ![]() Based on the manga, Railgun T is a breakout show of 2020. Being a spinoff of the original Index series, Railgun is no pushover when it comes to being a show of its own identity. Despite the 7 long years of waiting, we are once again greeted by another installation of the Raildex franchise. ![]() The idea of Railgun getting another anime adaptation is more than a blessing. ![]() Her band is led by ace guitarist Rez Abbasi. Winning two JUNO Awards (Canadian Grammys), over the course of seven albums, Kiran has created a style uniquely her own - exhilaratingly mixing Indian music with West African Blues riffs and Jazz.
