Photobulk review3/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Each photo is processed in turn and the whole lot are saved to a folder of your choosing. Once everything is set as you prefer, it takes just one click of the Start button to set it off. Images can be selected and previewed, so you can easily see if there are problems, but you do need to think about it. The size of the watermark may be fine on a big photo, but it could be too large for a small photo. For example, if you choose black text and the area where you place the text is dark in one of the photos it may be invisible. ![]() The size, colour and position needs to be carefully set. The same watermark is applied to all of the photos that were loaded, so you need to bear that in mind. You want to protect your photos but you don't want the text to get in the way. An opacity slider enables the text to be partially hidden or at least made less noticeable. Click the colour chip and the macOS colour selector appears. The settings panel enables you to select the font and the size and underline. Click the dummy text and you can then enter your own copyright message or other text you want to use as a watermark. Dummy text is placed in the image and using the handles in the four corners, it can be dragged to where you need it, the size can be adjusted, and it can be rotated to any angle. Select Watermark and a Bulk Settings panel opens. However, if all you need is basic watermarking of photos in bulk, the Lite version is fine and it is a lot easier to use than a photo editor. The Pro version of the app is needed to use the other features. There are six functions in the sidebar and in the Lite version of the app, only the top one, Watermark, works. Several file formats are supported, including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF and HEIC, which is used on recent iPhones. All the images that are added are displayed as a strip of thumbnails at the bottom of the window. Open a Finder window and you can drag and drop multiple photos on the the app from multiple folders or click the plus button to select them. PhotoBulk Lite opens a mostly empty and very dark window. The difference is that the free version just has basic watermarking features and the Pro version has extra functions that enable you to do much more with both the watermarks and the photos. There is a free Lite version and a (UK) £9.99 Pro version. PhotoBulk comes in two versions and both are in the Mac App Store. Watermarking is not the perfect solution to protecting your images, but it helps a lot and should be used if you are at all worried about someone using them without your permission. It should also be hard to erase using photo editing tools. The ideal position is somewhere in the middle of the image where it cannot be cropped out. You need to think about where to put the watermark and if it is right at the edge of the image it could be possible to crop the photo and remove it. Watermark text on images puts off people who steal photos without permission. It would be relatively easy to get the image taken down or even take legal action. If someone were to steal the image off a website or social network and use it themselves without your permission, it would be obvious to everyone that you are the copyright holder. Watermark text is often partially transparent and quite small and its purpose is to identify you as the owner of the image. What is a watermark?Ī watermark on a photo is basically just some text but it is presented in a slightly different way to the sort of text-on-photo that is used at the top of this article for example. What can you do? Watermark them! PhotoBulk is a handy macOS utility that makes the task easier. You want to show off your photos on the web or social sites but don't want people to steal them. ![]()

Hands like ouses full discography list3/20/2023 ![]() ![]() This is re ally no different on their latest, the eponymous Hands Like Houses EP, which arrives on Friday, Octothanks to UNFD.Ĭonceptually, the collection-which was created over a swift 10-day period-allows Woodley to get vulnerable while he explores the many collisions of life. Back home, ARIA success followed as the five-piece band garnered themselves critical acclaim, sold-out tours, and a dedicated legion of global fans.īlending Pop Rock sensibilities with he avier influences, Hands Like Houses-Vocalist Trenton Woodley, Guitarists Matt Cooper and Alexander Pearson, Bassist Joel Tyrrell, and Drummer Matt Parkitny- has created their own unique style of Alt Rock th at amalgamates sing- along worthy melodies, c atchy riffs, funky bass-lines and atmospheric synths. , establishing the band as a solid contender on the scene. 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, and was followed by 2013’s Unimagine, 2016’s Dissonants, and 2018’s Anon. Their 2012 full-length debut, Ground Dweller, peaked at No. ![]() The dynamic power ballad "Knife Through Butterfly Heart" and haunting, orchestral title track offer welcome changes of pace, but Under the Midnight Sun is sorely missing a sleazy, chest-beating arena-rock anthem a la "New York City" or "Wild Hearted Son." This is a stately, dependable, grown-up rock album made by 40-year veterans - certainly a worthy addition to the Cult catalog, but lacking the energy and eccentricity that made the band so compelling in its prime.Canberra, Australia’s Hands Like Houses has been making melodic music for just over a decade now. It all sounds terrific from a technical standpoint, but too often, Under the Midnight Sun gets stuck in one gear, abounding with galloping, midtempo grooves and oddly restrained choruses. Astbury, in particular, seems either unwilling or unable to unleash the ferocious, lusty howl heard on classics like "Fire Woman" and "Lil' Devil," and even late-career cuts like 2012's "Honey From a Knife." Album opener "Mirrors" and lead single " Give Me Mercy" soar thanks to these glistening six-string showcases, conjuring the yearning, melancholy grandeur of Love cuts like "Nirvana" or "Rain." Astbury remains as cryptic as ever, imploring listeners to " Watch the butcher's knife / In his trembling hand / The end of a species / The shimmering veil." Duffy covers a vast sonic terrain, dishing out crunchy rock 'n' roll chords and cavernous single-note leads in equal measure. Producer Tom Dalgety ( Pixies, Ghost) gives the LP a crisp, nervy sheen, allowing cymbal crashes, propulsive tom rolls and nimble bass lines to bend the listener's ear without obstructing the band's chief melodic duo. ![]() It was an incredible moment."Īcross its eight tracks, Under the Midnight Sun evokes this ethereal phenomenon via Duffy's shimmering, reverb-washed guitars and Astbury's gravelly, vibrato-laden baritone. "There were rows of flowers at the front of the stage from the performances earlier that evening. "People are laying on the grass, making out, drinking, smoking," Astbury recalled. The album title was inspired by the band's 1986 performance at Finland's Provinssirock festival, where they basked in the titular midnight sun during summer when the sun doesn't set north of the Arctic Circle. ![]() On Under the Midnight Sun, their 11th album and first since 2016’s Hidden City, the Cult incorporates both sides of this musical duality, with Astbury's esoteric musings getting a slight edge. This musical yin and yang resulted in a triptych of classic albums - 1985's Love, 1987's Electric and 1989's Sonic Temple - that ran the gamut from goth rock to quasi-glam metal, and it showed the Cult’s ability to adapt to changing musical trends without becoming beholden to them, keeping fans on their toes all the while. For nearly 40 years, the West Yorkshire band's driving creative force has been the push and pull of singer Ian Astbury's post-punk spiritualism and guitarist Billy Duffy's arena-rock histrionics. The Cult has always defied easy categorization. ![]()

Watch clannad movie3/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I've never seen this done before and it was nice to see how the characters grew and progressed. The second series 'After Story' holds most of the actual content as it follows the lives of the main characters after they leave school and over the next 7 years. The dubbed version I watched was well done and some of the sound, IE a certain song (u'll see) added while very simple was cleverly effective at expressing character emotion. i cant really comment, it was my first anime so i had no comparison at the time, however some scenes particularly from the side story were very imaginative. There's also a great deal to be learned about typical Japanese culture and the rich nature of their imaginations when telling a story. At the core of the story, Its the usual rebel boy meets goody girl cliché, fortunately there's enough detail put into making this believable as well as character role reversal that it doesn't get dull, added to that the main story is interwoven with some wacky sidekicks having stories and oddities of their own and also dropping hints towards the greater picture. Structure review The detail put into character development is second to none, half way through the first series I was highly engaged with the main characters going about their mostly? normal lives, in fact most of the first series seems to be primarily character development with some supernatural elements and a large portion of school / slice of life thrown in. ![]() After all, how grown up or engaging could a 'cartoon' about the lives of some high school children possibly be? The first few episodes left me feeling a little embarrassed for watching them to be honest (its been 12 years since I was in school) but I told myself I was going to give it a proper try and am glad I did. Being new to the anime genre, I started watching this with a fair amount of skepticism. Clannad and Clannad After Story will leave you reaching for tissues and possibly even questioning the way you look at life. I'm not going to write any specific detail about the series (no spoilers here!) Be careful with reviews and especially comment areas about 'after story' unless you want the plot to be ruined, 2 words seen accidentally did this for me! The definition of good artwork in my opinion is any media that provokes an emotional reaction and this is how I've reviewed the series and why it gets 10/10. Introduction I've honestly never been able to say any film or television series has changed me as a person until now. ![]()

Video direct sunlight solarcell3/19/2023 ![]() Syngas can be burned directly, or converted into diesel or other hydrocarbon fuels. While plants produce fuel in the form of sugar, the artificial leaf delivers syngas, or synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide. “Instead of producing energy in an unsustainable one-way route from fossil fuels to greenhouse gas, we can now reverse the process and recycle atmospheric carbon into fuel using sunlight,” he said. “The new solar cell is not photovoltaic - it’s photosynthetic,” says Amin Salehi-Khojin, assistant professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at UIC and senior author on the study. A solar farm of such “artificial leaves” could remove significant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere and produce energy-dense fuel efficiently. Unlike conventional solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity that must be stored in heavy batteries, the new device essentially does the work of plants, converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into fuel, solving two crucial problems at once. A provisional patent application has been filed. The finding is reported in the July 29 issue of Science and was funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have engineered a potentially game-changing solar cell that cheaply and efficiently converts atmospheric carbon dioxide directly into usable hydrocarbon fuel, using only sunlight for energy. This can help communities make plans for possible space weather-related power outages.Simulated sunlight powers a solar cell that converts atmospheric carbon dioxide directly into syngas. The GOES-R Series satellites have space weather instruments that can detect approaching space weather hazards. It can also impact the performance of the power grid. Space weather is caused by energy and charged particles being released by the sun. For example, information about cloud formation can help in determining where to build solar power plants and what type of solar panel technology will capture the most energy.Īnother way that weather satellites help with energy issues is in the detection of space weather. Information from weather satellites can be important in deciding the best spots to capture it. Cloud top height information is useful for understanding where these clouds will cast shadows on solar panels. ![]() on May 14, 2020, represent measurements of cloud top heights in kilometers. They can use this information to track and predict the movement of clouds and estimate the amount of sunlight that will reach solar panels.Ĭolors on the left side of this GOES-16 imagery of the Continental U.S. GOES-R Series weather satellites measure cloud properties that can help energy companies predict solar energy production. How can weather satellites help?įrom their orbit 22,300 miles above Earth’s surface, satellites in the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites – R (GOES-R) are constantly keeping an eye on Earth’s weather-including clouds. ![]() So, producing more solar energy than expected could potentially cause big problems. This balance is important because unexpected surges in the amount of available electricity can damage electrical devices, or even trigger a power outage. People who manage electrical grids – the electricity networks that connect electrical producers with consumers – must keep a careful balance between the energy they generate and the energy their customers consume. More sunlight means more energy, but that’s not always a good thing. ![]() Is more sunlight better for solar energy production? This phenomenon is called “cloud lensing” because the high clouds act as a lens, focusing the light in a certain region. One example happens when ice crystals inside of high-altitude clouds cause the sunlight to appear brighter than usual. However, certain cloudy conditions can be great for the production of solar energy. So, if you live in a place that commonly has a lot of low clouds, solar panels might not be able to produce as much energy as they would somewhere else. High clouds reflect less sunlight energy. When sunlight hits low clouds, most of that light is reflected back to space. ![]()

Ubuntu sudo3/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Learn more with our Cloud Server Hosting Product Guide. Let us know below if you have any questions or comments about this task or the Ubuntu distro. If you are logged into your system without a problem then you’ve completed this tutorial perfectly. Open a new terminal window and test your login with: ssh Leave the current session open just in case there’s an issue with the user you’ve created. However, before closing out of this terminal session, let’s test out what we’ve done. You will now be able to log into your Ubuntu server with your new user account, and root user logins through SSH are no longer permitted. Make sure to restart your SSH service: sudo service ssh restart.Change permissions for the authorized_keys file chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.For example, here we area adding a user called h2smedia, the command will be like this. Change your-new-user with whatever name you want to give to your user. Paste your public key into the authorized_keys file Once the sudo is installed, let’s create a new user to use later with the sudo command.ssh directory and create authorized_keys file nano authorized_keys Add sudo to the line that begins with PermitRootLogin: - PermitRootLogin without-password + PermitRootLogin no.Add sudo to the line that begins with AllowGroups: - AllowGroups wheel root + AllowGroups wheel root sudo.Edit the SSH configuration file sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config.Switch to new user (which is still logged in from above) su username.We have full guides on how to create SSH keys you can install on your account for the root user, but adding an SSH key for the user we just created requires a few more steps. Because of this, you must use SSH keys to gain access to your cloud server. Password authentication is automatically disabled to protect your cloud server from brute force password-based cyber attacks. We have now created a user account we can use for every day administrative tasks.īut, in order to access higher level commands, you will need to add the word sudo at the beginning of your command line, for example: $ sudo apt-get update How to Log in with SSH Keys To add the new user to the “sudo” group, run this command as the root user usermod -a -G sudo username.Fill in a secure password and you can skip the other prompts if you want.Run this command as the root user to create the user account useradd username.Log into your server as the root user, replacing “” with your primary domain: ssh.Where necessary below substitute username with the username you want to use on your account. ![]() If you’ve added your SSH key to your account this login will succeed without a password. Note: the first step is completed on your local computer. ![]() For this reason, it is generally considered a best practice to use a unique user account with “superuser”, or, sudo privileges instead of the root account for your regular maintenance and admin tasks.īelow, we will walk you through the whole process of creating the user, adding the necessary privileges, and locking up your root user in the hopes of preventing unwarranted access. But, using the root user can be hazardous: one wrong command can destroy your account. This allows you the option of using the root user for setting up your VPS environment to your individual specifications. install does not produce the installer window. Your cloud server account lets you instantly log in as the most powerful user: root. I have found the same thing with the R2021b installer on Ubuntu 20.04. This article refers to an older version of Ubuntu, please refer to the full guide on how to create a sudo user in Ubuntu 20. Finally, open a new terminal window and run a command that requires root privileges, such as sudo apt-get update.In this article, we’re going to show you how you can create sudo users on your Ubuntu Cloud Server.It is important to add this line at the end of the file, so that the other permissions do not override this directive, since they are processed in order. If you have any sort of syntax problem, visudo will warn you and you can abort the change or open the file for editing again. Replace username with your account username, of course. At the end of the /etc/sudoers file add this line:.You should never edit /etc/sudoers with a regular text editor, such as Vim or nano, because they do not validate the syntax like the visudo editor. Open the /etc/sudoers file (as root, of course!) by running:.Here’s a quick fix that removes the requirement to enter you password for sudo. However, it can also be inconvenient to have to enter your password every time that you use sudo. You probably know that in Ubuntu/Debian, you should not run as the root user, but should use the sudo command instead to run commands that require root privileges. ![]()
