8/3/2023 0 Comments Big 12 conference standings![]() WVU needs just one win to secure at least a piece of the Big 12 title. West Virginia visits Texas (35-18/12-9 Big 12) in a three-game series that starts on Thursday. With Oklahoma State’s 12-2 win over Kansas State on Sunday, WVU leads the Cowboys by two games entering the final weekend of the season. That’s what makes him one of the best relievers in the country.” “Because it was against the middle off the lineup, he got better against their better hitters. He worked out of a jam in the eighth by collecting one of his four strikeouts with the bases loaded. Reed collected his seventh save of the season by pitching two scoreless frames. Hagaman and Reed, that’s what they have been doing all season.” ![]() ![]() Maxx did a really good job of getting out of trouble when he got in trouble. “Noah did an unbelievable job getting out of that first inning. “We had a fresh bullpen and we wanted to use them,” Mazey said. Maxx Yell, David Hagaman and Carlson Reed combined to allow just two runs over the final eight innings. Hurricane High School graduate Noah Short induced a groundout and an inning-ending double play to limit the damage to just one run against. WVU starting pitcher Robby Porco was pulled after facing just two batters, allowing a walk and a double. That tells you what our lineup is like when our guys that far down are hitting balls that far.” “You’ve got to be strong and on time and do a lot of things right. “It is not easy to hit a ball that far,” Mazey said. “I guess I have been robbed about four or five times the past two weekends. In the sixth, Caleb McNeely gave West Virginia their first lead of the game with a two-run home run, his 12th of the season. That one was definitely one I thought had a great chance to go,” Wetherholt said. “Whenever I catch a ball like that to left field, I am usually pretty sure when I hit it. It was Wetherholt’s 15th home run of the season. Trailing 3-2 in the fifth inning, JJ Wetherholt brought the Mountaineers even with an opposite-field solo home run into the Texas Tech bullpen. They were into the game in the first inning.” “This crowd was into the game more than any other. The Mountaineers have posted an 18-6 record at home and a new program-record for season attendance was established with 59,894 fans. ![]() Thursday’s game just became the most important game of the year.”Ī crowd of 3,312 filed in to watch West Virginia’s regular season home finale. You can’t feel too good about it and stop playing. The way we pitch, the way we hit, the way we run the bases and play defense we are checking just about every box you have to check to be a great team right now,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “They are so impressive the way they bounce back from stuff. With three games remaining in the regular season, the Mountaineers need just one victory to secure at least a share of their first Big 12 Conference championship. WVU (39-13/15-6 Big 12) defeated the Red Raiders 5-3 on Senior Day at Monongalia County Ballpark. West Virginia’s bullpen collected 27 outs and a pair of home runs powered the Mountaineers to a series victory over Texas Tech. The Mountaineers took two of three from each of these teams on the road already this season.GRANVILLE, W.Va. WVU holds a slight lead over Oklahoma State and Kansas State. This is believed to be the first time in recent memory, and possibly the first time ever, that West Virginia held sole possession of first place in the league standings entering the final week of April since the program joined the Big 12. With an 8-4 record in league play, the Mountaineers are in first place in the Big 12. “It doesn’t matter where you’re at midway during the season, but it’s better to be in first than last, I do know that,” Mazey said Saturday after WVU claimed the top spot in the league standings. West Virginia, even more importantly, is also on top of the Big 12 Conference standings. 17 in the Baseball America Top 25 and No. The Mountaineers (29-11, 8-4 Big 12) are nationally ranked, sitting at No. Randy Mazey’s West Virginia baseball team is playing at a very high level this season. ![]() 8/3/2023 0 Comments Netflix stream player![]() ![]() Perform a network diagnosis procedure to check the condition of the network. ![]() For details, refer to the " To set the date and time automatically" section in the Set the date and time article linked above.

8/3/2023 0 Comments New injustice 3![]() The game’s characters haven’t even been unveiled yet. and NetherRealm Studios, however, have not yet verified this. The hornets nest that is Injustice 3 speculation has erupted following some new, and unfortunately, vague, tweets from Ed Boon, the creator and director of the NetherRealm Studios series. Injustice 3 Story will come with 2 story modes, one will the continuing story of the 2nd part and another one more focused on an alternate timeline Justice League. This legacy includes a new Wonder Woman named Yara Flor, who has been met with positive reception. Here is a list of all the characters appearing in the upcoming video game Injustice 3. DC Future State is a new line of DC Comics that has ushered in a possible new era of legacy heroes. DC’s relationship with the world of video games has always been a bit odd, with a strong focus on renowned characters. To find out whether the upcoming Injustice 3 game will be made available on the Nintendo Switch platform, all that is left to do is wait and see. The previous Injustice titles, Injustice and Injustice 2, are not yet available on the Nintendo Switch, but this does not necessarily mean that the forthcoming game won’t be released on the Switch system. The dreams Nintendo had for its Switch platform were completely renewed after the Switch by Nintendo was unveiled in March of 2017. It has been observed in the past that Nintendo has failed to provide gamers with a reliable product they can rely on in the gaming console market. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that the upcoming Injustice 3 will be compatible with the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and even the Xbox One. Injustice 2 was playable on the Xbox One, as was the case in the past. Mortal Kombat 11 sigue recibiendo nuevo contenido, así que se espera que el título se adapte a PS5 y Xbox Series X. ![]() Since its debut, Xbox has released a number of consoles, the most recent of which, the Xbox Series S and X, was released in November 2020. La desarrolladora ya contrata para los futuros Mortal Kombat e Injustice de nueva generación. One of the top game systems available today, Xbox has been on the market for more than 20 years. Ed Boon, the longtime boss of developer NetherRealm Studios, has seemingly confirmed that the companys next project is that of Mortal Kombat 12 or Injustice 3. While no deals have been done yet, it seems the gaming projects would be affected by the decision as all the WB internal studios are working on their next-gen titles.Everyone who enjoys playing the Injustice video game is anxiously anticipating its release on the PlayStation 5 platform, and most people are confident that the PlayStation will live up to fans’ high expectations. Interactive is considering selling its gaming division to another company while keeping the rights for the projects based on DC Comics and other brands that belong to WB. Recently, it was rumored that AT&T, the parent company of Warner Bros. With the incredible success of Injustice 2, it wouldn't be surprising if we get to see the announcement of Injustice 3 as the next upcoming title from Ed Boon and his team. Given that, most of the fans assume that the studio head will probably reveal the third entry from the Injustice series, which is a fighting franchise featuring all the popular characters from DC Comics.Īfter releasing the post-launch expansion of Mortal Kombat 11, Nether Realm is probably now focused on its next big project which will likely target the next-gen platforms. ![]() His attendance in the event couldn't be related to Mortal Kombat 11 since the show is a DC-focused stream that will only deliver updates about the products set in the DC universe. Ed Boon's appearance at DC FanDome was revealed in a brief teaser of the event and then confirmed by himself on Twitter. ![]() 8/3/2023 0 Comments Zerene focus stacker![]() ![]() Someone mentioned somewhere about a software/computer driven gizmo that does the focusing automatically in preset increments but it sounds very expensive. It's been suggest to use LV, but even at 5:1 zoom-in, the flower is so much larger than the LCD view that I'd have to scroll all over the place to know where the focus was. I'm using the pre-L version of the Canon 100 mm f/2.8 and I would say that achieving very small increments of focus distance is extremely difficult. (the BG had very little detail - shot at f/2.8 - admittedly not enough DOF to get overlap for a stack). ![]() When I increased the contrast on the DMap, it seemed to "attack" the flower details first and had little effect on the BG until I really cranked it up. Mostly I use PMax because it has less artifacts.Īfter reading your post and the link, I tried the same images again using both 15 and zero settings for contrast - the zero version had slightly fewer artifacts in the small petals although the difference was so small that I didn't notice until I switched back and forth several times.īUT - the DMap image was essentially not usable - well neither was very good - the PMax was the least bad. I shot an eleven image stack yesterday of a yellow dandelion-like flower (about the size of a small dandelion), and both methods produced junk, especially the DMap. I've always struggled to get anything useful from the DMap process no matter what the contrast setting was, and have essentially resigned to using the PMax output (I probably should just to the one stack). BTW, what is Melissa (too many questions for a Saturday morning - it's still am here - we're three hours behind you)? Well that was and interesting lesson (DMap) and many thanks for the replies on colour space and Zerene. At f/9, I probably could have made do with fewer images, but I always try to err on the side of too many, because too few means starting all over. The original images were ISO 200, f/9, with a 100mm macro lens. I thought this is a good example of why Lightroom and Zerene make a very powerful combination for focus stacking. It took just a couple of mouse clicks and a few seconds. I just selected the first image and synched all settings to the new image. As a result, the history was 29 steps long! You can return to any adjustment and adjust again. Because LR is a parametric editor, there is no harm in redoing any adjustments at any time. Now I had the basic image I wanted, but I did not have the edits. Then I used Zerene's retouching tool to paint the entire background from the top-most image, to get it more blurred. So, I stacked again (I still had the TIFFs), dropping one or two from the back of the stack. I could only shave off one or two, so the stack would still have the background too much in focus. However, I looked at the images, and I found that I needed almost as many just to get the farthest point in the flower in focus. I wanted more blur outside the main flower. The detail outside of the main flower is distracting. You pick the image from the stack that is "correct" for each area and paint from it to the composite. I used Zerene's retouching in a few spots where the stacked image had halos from parallax. I wanted the entire open flower in focus, and I thought I should keep a few of the star-shaped unopened ones in focus too. I rarely need to use a pixel editor for these, but if I do, I move the image to photoshop.Ī few days ago, I created this image, which is a stack of 20 images. Stack in Zerene, retouch if needed (more on this below) export as 16-bit TIFFs, still in proPhoto RGBĥ. Examine at 100% to see which images in the set are needed to get the desired DOFĤ. I thought this example might be useful.ģ.

(3) all wines containing not in excess of twenty-one percent of alcohol by volume.

Ultimately, after 3 weeks of intense conversations and sharing of resources, the SC DOR issued an updated guidance indicating that kombucha would NOT BE REGULATED LIKE ALCOHOL! A huge win for the industry and another example of KBI’s advocacy in action. David Ransom of McDermott, Will & Emery, KBI’s lobbying firm and legal counsel, also weighed in and offered advice. Health-Ade, Humm, and Brew Dr all reached out to share resources and support. From there, web searches revealed that this issue had been brewing for a month or so before it came to KBI’s attention according to a blog post by Brook Bristow of Bristow Beverage. She pointed KBI to the SC DOR as the body that had issued a guidance indicating they were looking into the matter and that out of an abundance of caution, they advised retailers to start carding anyone purchasing kombucha. Those emails spurred immediate phone calls to the South Carolina Retail Association (SCRA), helmed by Lee Ann Watson, to learn more about the notice that had just been sent out from their organization. “Crisis creates community” quipped KBI President, Hannah Crum upon receiving urgent emails minutes apart from Chairman of the Board, Zane Adams of Buchi Kombucha and GT Dave of GT’s Synergy Kombucha. Is kombucha considered a “similar fermented beverage” to beer? This question created a domino effect and some confusion as to how kombucha with an ABV of 0.5% and below ought to be regulated and by whom. Regular beer has about 4 to 5 percent alcohol.Recently, the Department of Revenue in South Carolina was posed a curious question. Gerry Khermouch, editor of Beverage Business Insights, estimates some kombucha brands might have 2 to 3 percent alcohol, based on reports from producers doing independent testing. The more sugar a drink has, the more alcohol can ferment. But alcohol can develop over time in unpasteurized versions because the yeast is still alive, converting sugars to alcohol. Kombucha makers say it leaves production with almost no alcohol. Pasteurized versions - where the yeast and bacteria are heated, much like milk - are still for sale because the process kills the yeast, which make the alcohol. But most prefer to buy it for convenience. Many fans make it at home by acquiring a kombucha "mother," a cloudy mass of bacteria and yeast from another batch. Kombucha (pronounced com-BOOCH-a or com-BOOK-a) contains live bacteria and yeast, similar to yogurt. I just don't like how that feels," she said.

Distributors and retailers like Whole Foods Inc. Since last month, the government has been testing kombucha to determine if it should be labeled like beer or wine. And it doesn't hurt when stars like Lindsay Lohan are photographed drinking kombucha. But it has gained popularity in the past few years in the U.S., partly because of claimed health benefits, though there's little science behind them. The drink dates back thousands of years and across cultures, though its actual country of origin is unclear. ![]() ![]() “Our society doesn’t have language to define that!” ‘Transgender’ is about my gender it has nothing to do with my sexuality. “It’s just something I’m passionate about.” Guinan (pronounced GUY-ninn) tends to get worked up on the topic of gender. Not surprising, given that she is New York City’s first and only transgender firefighter. The FDNY employs more than 10,400, only 44 of whom are women, and Guinan is the only member who has served the department as both a man and a woman. Since September, when a poster of her wearing a tight T-shirt reading “So Trans So What” went viral as part of an awareness campaign for the LGBTQ-advocacy group V.O.I.C.E. (the Vocal Organization for International Courage and Equality), Guinan has seen her profile rise as a role model for others who battle gender stereotypes in male-dominated professions. Guinan does have something in common with many in the FDNY: The department runs in her family. Her father, George William Guinan V, is an FDNY lieutenant her grandfather George IV retired as a captain. Growing up, she heard stories about the escapades of her forebears - both of whom are heterosexual and, as she puts it, masculine and athletic. “There’s such an attitude in society that firefighting is for straight, masculine men,” Guinan says. That said, unlike many women who aspire to join the FDNY, she had no trouble meeting the job’s physical requirements. Standing six feet tall, Guinan weighs 240 pounds and doesn’t lack for strength. When my mother needs furniture moved, she calls me.” My body has a lot of natural strength to it,” she says. When it comes to stamina, though, Guinan says a lot of women in the department would best her. ![]() ![]() You have to know what you have and know what you have to work for.” “You don’t have to be six feet tall and built like a linebacker to do this job,” she says, arms folded across her chest.

A silver necklace with a dolphin pendant hangs around her neck, a gift from her boyfriend. ![]() Guinan doesn’t remember a time when she didn’t feel mostly different from everyone around her. Now she talks about not wanting to “let down” other transgender men and women who see her as an inspiration for bucking convention and stereotype to enter a profession where she is looked upon as an outsider.Īlthough she has grown accustomed to feeling separate from the norm, she admits it took years of burning under society’s intolerant glare for her to emerge stronger, certain of who she is and her place in the world. If meme stocks can be a thing, what’s to stop audio meme sharing from going viral!? Hoping to storm the ear-bending arena of social audio and win friends amid the gamer/creator crowd is Voicy - a Netherlands-based startup that’s building a platform for user-generated audio snippets (typically a few seconds long), offering tools to create emotive samples for reaction sharing to spice up your messaging/streams.“I couldn’t get the voices out of my head of people telling me I’ll never be a woman, I don’t look like a woman, I don’t sound like a woman, and it’s never going to happen,” Guinan says. It’s not hard to predict where this idea goes: Straight to gross out fart sfx and pwning troll clips - which are indeed plentiful on this fledgling platform for user-generated (or, well, sampled) audio. Borat clips, for example, or Squid Game sounds. Plus a cacophony of over-enthusiastic Internet memes in audio form. John Oliver screaming “GOOGLE IT!” repeatedly, or Epic Sax Guy’s epic saxing, and so on. The typical Voicy user is, unsurprisingly, young and trigger happy, per the startup - which envisages gamer voice chat as a key target for a pipelines of social integrations it hopes to build out. So far it has one integration inked with messaging app, Viber - but it’s offering a “simple universal API” to encourage other platforms to sign up. ![]() Zooming out, Voicy’s stated mission is to do for sound clips what Giphy has done for GIFs. “As we’ve seen with memes and GIFs, people love to create their own very creative content. ![]() |
