For example Luminar, Topaz, Pixelmator Photo (Photomator). Further many imaging software based tools have or are jumping on the bandwaggon here, so not just Adobe. might be useful and handy to have, as far as those do a more precise and exact job than fiddling manually long time around to yield such results.Īctually AI is everywhere that much hyped, that it is sometimes hard to tell where and for what it makes sense or not. ĪI based person/subject cut out, removal (like PS/LR offers) and subject exchange Well it always depends what makes sense here to have, speeds up image editing processes and overall eases the work. Game is changed again in favour of Adobe now. I think Adobe has brought some new revolution. I really like Affinity very much, much more than Photoshop, but if it stays out Affinity, the difference will become too big and it will run far behind. However, if there are no AI plug-ins coming for Affinity and it will not be integrated like Adobe, than it might for me a reason to move back to Photoshop. So thanks to all who shared their data, AI exists by those □. People will start to realise what privacy means. So if you suddenly see you face popping up… you shared it with all rights. Well, they sold all your data and AI is just one example what they did with it. They knew, if you don’t pay for the product, you are the product. They always said they have nothing to hide. All what is in is shared by all people via social media like. I don’t think it will be the end of the world. Probably it will be more the end of the world as we know it! □ Plug-ins don't know, there are some online service which claim to offer such things, like for example. Probably not, if not some third party service is reused therfor, as AI based algorithms/routines (neural network based) do first need some amount of (pre)available data and hardware resources in order to learn what and how to perform it.

When playing with 2 or 4 suits, you can simply move cards to other cards that are one point higher in value, irrespective of the colour. This functions largely in the same way as playing with a single suit, except that you need to take the colours into account. Furthermore, it is important to know that you can place any random card in an empty column and that you go back one step using the undo button. Whenever you move a card that was face down, the previously hidden card will be turned up. For example if the 7, 6, and 5 of Spades are on top of each other, then you can move all three at the same time to an open 8. It is also possible to move several cards at once, if they are all in ascending order with a one point difference. The most important rule of the Spider Solitaire game is that you can only place a card on top of another card that is 1 point higher in value.įor example, you can only place the 2 of Spades on the 3 of Spades (see illustration). It is played with just one suit: Spades! In this game, you do not need to take account of the colours when moving the cards. Level 1 is played differently from the other two levels: 1 suit Our Spider Solitaire game has 3 levels: 1 colour (easy), 2 colours (more challenging), and 4 colours (extremely challenging, only for the real expert). Once you have completed a sequence, it will automatically be moved to the foundation and you can start on the next sequence and so on, until you have cleared the whole tableau. For this purpose, you must arrange all cards in the tableau in descending order in the same suit, from King to Ace. The aim of Spider Solitaire is to move all cards from the tableau to the foundation. The Foundation will ultimately contain all 104 cards, sorted by colour and in order from King to Ace, arranged in 8 stacks.Each column in the tableau gets a new card whenever you tap on this stock. The Stock contains the 50 cards that have not yet been dealt.Here, around half (54 cards) of the 104 cards in play are arranged in 10 columns. The Tableau is the section in which the game is played.To fully understand how to play Spider Solitaire, we will first take a look at the playing field. It is played by 1 person only and uses 2 decks of cards. Spider is a Solitaire game made popular by Microsoft Windows. Please stick to the issue being addressed in the post.

Sure, we’ll eventually get our haircuts, but getting our Zoom shots into tip-top shape will always be a best practice moving forward.If you find your virtual background flickering or showing parts of your real background, here are a few troubleshooting tips to help you look your best.Ī green screen will give you the best virtual background effect while using fewer system resources during the meeting. Certain patterns will shimmer in your video (like my shirt did in the above test shots). Remember to also pay attention to how your shirt looks. One more tip: Don’t only focus on how your face and hair show up on your next Zoom call. The collapsible white screen I’m using is the Studio Essentials Pop-Up Reversible Background (5’圆.5’ Black/White).īut any home-grown solution using a roll of white art paper will work just as well. I feel the difference is definitely worth the extra step of setting up the white screen. Plus you see that unnatural black edging by my left ear. My skin tone is off, and I look overly pink and generally overly lit. Here’s the same shot without using my white screen. If you’ve got the white screen behind you, that will trick your webcam into thinking your background is relatively bright, and it will then automatically allow more light to hit your face and improve your look.Īnd here’s how I look in my virtual background using my hidden white screen. Without enough light, your whole shot starts to deteriorate. So then, when you’re forced to lower the lighting on your face to fix the problem, you end up sitting mostly in the dark.Īnd then it becomes a cascading problem, because you really want more light on your face to help your webcam display it properly. That’s because ‘Zooming’ in a darker space generally forces your webcam to overexpose your face while trying to bring out more detail in the background of your shot. This is especially true if your room is generally dark. It can really improve how your face looks! There’s also another big benefit to adding some white behind you before activating your virtual background. (Now, if you want Zoom to give you a digital haircut, go right ahead!)īrighter Backgrounds will Help You Light your Face Otherwise, Zoom will digitally crop the edges of your hair with that black line circling your head. That’s because the virtual background will appear to show through the mess of your hair. Then, when you activate your virtual background, the white screen also disappears, and it does wonders to reduce that horrible black ‘helmet outline’ that often surrounds your head.Īnd if your virtual background displays lots of white or brightness behind your out-of-control hair, the overall key around your head will look much more realistic. It doesn’t have to cover your whole background. It can be with a white screen, curtain or even a big piece of white paper. My trick is to place some ‘white’ behind your head and shoulders. So that really wouldn’t work…īut I’ve figured something else out that does… Even if I could somehow jam one in, I wouldn’t be able to move around anymore. I can’t cover my entire background with a green screen, because there simply isn’t enough room based on the configuration of my home office. It’s a relatively wide field of view, and you will see much more of my home office than I’d prefer. But I just can’t let that sloppy look go without attempting to fix it.īut, the challenge I face when trying to improve my own virtual background starts with the basic shot my iMac’s webcam creates. Maybe some people don’t care how ‘solid’ they appear with their virtual background. It works, but often with the edges of your head and body shimmering like an apparition. The other option is to let Zoom figure it out without the benefit of a solid color. Then, Zoom will create a beautiful chroma-keyed background using the green. The holy-grail solution to generating a great virtual background is to place a green screen behind you that spans your entire background. I think this speaks to what we’re all currently grappling with… how to traverse this new reality when the plan to continue to lock yourself up at home isn’t realistic anymore.įor now though, I’m relying on my hair gel as well as a cool video trick I’ve discovered to improve my Zoom videos when using virtual backgrounds. I certainly can’t wait two years until there’s a vaccine! I’m spotting lots of folks now with new haircuts. But I know it’s not sustainable for any long-term plan. Yes, I must admit I’ve started using hair gel to try to tame my mad scientist look. Now, after months of COVID-19 seclusion, my Zoom video shots look like a time portal back into ‘70s. Have you gotten a haircut yet? I haven’t. Here’s a way to upgrade your look in this digital arena. Using a virtual background with Zoom can be hard to get right.
The Appendix to the Introduction to Public Sector Accounting Standards in the PSA Handbook describes which standards apply to various types of public sector entities. The CPA Canada Public Sector Accounting (PSA) Handbook contains accounting standards that apply to all public sector entities (governments, government components, government organizations and certain government partnerships) that issue general purpose financial statements unless specifically directed or permitted to use alternative standards by PSAB. 1936 The Institute publishes Examinations of Financial Statements, which introduces the term ‘generally accepted accounting principles,’ known as GAAP. The objective of such standards is to meet the needs of users of financial statements by providing the information needed for accountability and decision making.Īccounting standards are the primary source of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). historical cost accounting persisted until 1978, when, for the first time, it proposed a requirement that oil and gas reserves be periodically revalued, with the change taken to earnings. Accounting standards specify how transactions and other events are to be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in a public sector entity’s financial statements. Wiley GAAP is organized to align fully with the structure of the FASB Codification. The book integrates principles promulgated by the FASB in its Accounting Standards CodificationTM. Accounting standards are authoritative standards for financial accounting and reporting developed through an organized standard-setting process and issued by a recognized standard-setting body. illustrations, and nearly 300 examples of all current generally accepted accounting principles. I didn't get the 360 until much, much later in the gen (2011 or 2012), as it didn't have enough exclusives that interested me to justify purchasing a console for the first few years.Īs a predominant fan of Japanese games, the PS3 mostly remained lacklustre for me throughout the gen, but it definitely got some gems, and I do have nostalgia for the system now (even though I only really stopped using my PS3 completely last year). I remember when I got the PS3, I actually barely played it for the first few years, even ended up just sitting unplugged and stored away for nearly a year until it finally got some games on it I wanted to play. I remember delving more into Nintendo that generation, as the games on DS and WIi appealed to me more than PS3 and 360, especially early on. Nowadays, there's some triple A games that are digital only - just wild to think how much has changed since then.Īs to my own personal feelings on that gen, it's a bit of mixed bag. I remember in the early days of the 7th gen a lot of those "downloadable games" were kinda treated like small, arcadey games. It's kinda weird looking back at it now and realising it's where digital games on consoles really started. And then of course there was the infamous RROD. The stuff on portables, Japanese productions, the downloadable games, stuff on Nintendo systems did not suffer from that as much. I know many complain about the bland art direction, but that was in the AAA space. The Last of Us was my personal swag-song for that generation and it ended in a bang. The portables were also very differentiated.īut the end of the generation I was buying stuff digitally and so much had changed. If you loved SMHUPs you had the 360 as a great base system there. The Galaxy games were amazing and untouchable as platformers. And the Wii had some great Nintendo games. I also got into PC legacy developers like Bethesda and Bioware via the 360. This was Sony's first foray into high budget western AAA fare with Uncharted, Resistance, MotorStorm. I also loved that each system had uniqueness to them. I saw all these people, beyond niche forums, enjoy the hobby. I was not completely done, but I felt the hobby had outgrew me with the previous generation, which, while it did have some amazing games (Ninja Gaiden Black, Metroid Prime, MGS3 were my highlights), I was slowly coming off gaming.Īlso this was the early time of gaming podcasts and games media as video-1up Yours, The 1up Show, The Gamespot guys eventually becoming Giant Bomb. Honestly, I think this is my favorite generation. Combined with a powerful gun, just skillful, the player can still overcome the powerful bosses.I made a thread about this way back in 2019, but lotsa time has passed, so thought another reassessment was in order. Players can use the player’s sword like a whip to attack enemies. Thanks to this new style, the game has changed the passive style and sought opportunities to attack and actively attack the enemies. There are no instructions for players to follow, and its difficulty is severe, but this is the attraction of the game.Īccompanying players in this game are two very unique weapons that are a sword capable of splitting into pieces and a gun. It is not inferior compared to the elder when players will have to wander to fight monsters. The most outstanding thing about this game is the difficulty that the game brings to challenge players. The game now has a very familiar playing style for those who have tried the games made by Hidetaka Miyazaki. Hidetaka Miyazaki created this game, so it’s no wonder that the game has inherited all the quintessence of the Souls series for you to feel. This game is a game released exclusively on the PS4 platform and has become an indispensable game for those who own PS4. So this game is a game that is expected to become a name to become a global craze. While many names are expected to become blockbusters, the opposite is true, for example, that is The Order: 1886. If the player was looking forward to experiencing a game similar to the Souls series and was created by Hidetaka Miyazaki, Bloodborne is the game itself. So, have you ever wondered who created the series? That is Hidetaka Miyazaki, who made the success of many famous RPG games on the market. The game has received a lot of love from players because of what it can bring to players, from difficulty in gameplay. And that game is the Souls series of the most popular RPGs in recent times. When it comes to one of the RPG games that are not only the best but also the hardest, there is a game that cannot be ignored. Auden’s 1939 poem “Musée des Beaux Arts,” presents a retelling of Icarus’s fall, but the poem does so through the lens of another artist: Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Auden) uniquely situates Boghosian in the artistic tradition of the Icarus myth. Two of Boghosian’s other collages in this exhibition, The Fall of Icarus (1991) and The Fall of Icarus (The Oasis) (1991), allude to the same subject matter, but The Fall of Icarus (For W. Auden) to one of the most renowned poets of the 20th century, nearly twenty years after Auden’s death. He dedicates his 1993 collage The Fall of Icarus (For W. The artist sold to present collection P.965.105īoghosian also uses the Icarus myth to engage in an artistic dialogue across Western cultures, centuries, and continents. The Relatives of Icarus ( Los Parientes de Icaro) Matisse uses the background of his construction to recast Icarus at night, and Esqueda adds an “unreal” dimensionality and a female figure who is not present in the myth’s canonical plot. In all three of these artists’ works-Boghosian, Matisse, and Esqueda-the medium of collage allows for the addition and subtraction of different elements to yield transformative interpretations of the same story. Esqueda’s illusionistic, geometric space features an Icarus who appears to escape, rather than fall, as a woman looks on mournfully. Xavier Esqueda, a Mexican artist whose style incorporates elements of Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art, exaggerates the assembled quality of his artistic narrative in The Relatives of Icarus ( Los Parientes de Icaro) (about 1965). Other artists have also represented Icarus in collage, such as Henri Matisse, whose Icarus, plate VII from the illustrated book Jazz (1947), seems to dance or float against a night sky. His use of collage as a medium for Icarus retellings mirrors the aggregated, constructed nature of myth, which grows from its original form to include associations from later years as it is told throughout history. Boghosian created three collages (currently in the Hood Museum of Art’s collection) centered upon Icarus and also several other collage interpretations of the myth, including a 1986 version and one in 2008. Surrealist sculptor and collage artist Varujan Boghosian (1926–2020) employed the Icarus myth to foster a revitalized interpretive space within the ancient story. The story is undoubtedly tragic, but the Greek mythological universe is filled with such tragic (and more overtly heroic) stories, so what about this myth continues to fascinate and inspire artists from 16th-century Europe to 21st-century America? The sun melted the wax of his wings, plunging him into the sea below. The youthful, brash Icarus lost himself in the joy of flight and soared too high. Daedalus cautioned his son not to fly too close to the sea or the sun, which would destroy his wings. Icarus and his father, Daedalus, were imprisoned, so Daedalus, an inventor, fashioned metal and wax wings to aid them in an escape. The story of Icarus originated in Greek antiquity, but its best-known written version comes from the Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses (about 8 CE). The Icarus myth is one story that has fascinated artists throughout history and remains popular in contemporary visual art, literature, and music. Why do ancient myths endure? Why do we continue to resurrect and recycle these stories, rather than exclusively creating new ones or focusing on the myriad forgotten or little-known histories we could preserve instead? Myths have long been a source of inspiration for creative expression in the arts, perhaps because the various versions and interpretations of a single myth open interpretive space for artistic experimentation. The people who can keep it alive are the artists of one kind or another.” – Joseph Campbell, author of The Power of Myth If you’re already a paid user, your license will carry over to the latest version so there will be no need to purchase again.
