![]() Now they have backtracked a bit on that and are offering it as both a companion to Lightroom and Photoshop as well as an alternative for those who need it. This is something of a departure from when Luminar 3 was launched and the company was plugging it as a replacement to Lightroom. You can use it as a stand alone editor for editing single images, or you can use it as a plug-in with software such as photoshop and Lightroom. It can be used with the library as a stand alone photo workflow application. You can now use the software in three different ways. Luminar 4 combines the functionality of Luminar 3 and Luminar Flex. Three Ways of Working (Well, 5 actually!) Having said that, the old version was a pretty unique way of working, and had its advantages too, so it’s a pity to see it go. It is actually easier to use once you get used to it, but there will be that initial learning curve of looking for adjustments and trying to figure out where they went. I’ll be honest, the new interface took a bit of getting used to, but having used the beta for a while, its now hard to go back and use the old versions. Also gone is the ability to use screen modes on individual Tools, but you can still mask tools on an individual basis. If you want multiple versions of a Tool you’ll need to add it to a new layer. The downside of this new layout is that you can no longer use multiple versions of an adjustment on the same layer. When you use a Tool its name is highlighted in the interface to show you which tools are active and which haven’t been used. The tools themselves are redesigned and usually have a set of basic controls, and then some additional options hidden under an “advanced settings” button. There are also tools for things like cropping and rotation, lens corrections and the erase tool. This is similar to tool tabs in other applications. The new “Tools” are grouped into categories and these are accessed by a series of icons down the side of the interface. However, there are still occasions when it slows down, although I should point out that I have been using a beta version. ![]() In reality, this seems to work well, and I have found a definite speed improvement when working with images. The company stated that this allows processing to be speeded up significantly, as it allows rendering to take place in a specific order that is optimised for processing. The result is a unified set of tools that will always be the same and so there is no longer a need for workspaces. Some filters from the previous versions have been combined into a single tool and some have had their names changed and so on. All of the available tools are already there on the interface, broken down into categories. Filters are no longer even called filters and are now referred to as “Tools”. You no longer have a filter list and you no can longer manually add filters. This has all completely changed in Luminar 4. You could also save combinations as a “workspace” allowing you to customise the view and defaults. You could have multiple versions of a filter, and you could add as many as you want. In older versions of Luminar, you started off with an empty slate and then added “filters” from the list of available adjustments to create your own combination of adjustments. This isn’t just cosmetic and goes to the heart of the way the software works. While there has been a lot of discussion about the new AI features of Luminar 4, and we’ll get to those shortly, the biggest feature by far is the re-design of the interface. So with that in mind, here are my impressions of Luminar 4, its new feature and what it is like to use. Lots of people including myself have already shared details on some of the new features, the new interface and so on, so what’s left to review? Well, I wanted to wait until the software was actually released to put all the disparate threads together and talk about the application as a whole. Luminar 4 was pre-announced a while ago now, and the company has been drip feeding information about it to the public. It’s weird writing a review of something that a lot of people have been talking about for quite some time now.

![]() Regardless of your preferred platform, however, we have a feeling that Untitled Goose Game will develop a cult following over the years, so we think it will definitely be worth playing. It will be available on PC and Nintendo Switch, and the PC version will be a timed Epic Store exclusive before it arrives on Steam. Sadly, Untitled Goose Game is not available for pre-order, so you’ll just have to purchase it when it releases on September 20 if you want to give it a go. Why they choose not to give their own game a title is beyond us, but Untitled Goose Game looks so damn fun that we’re not going to let this bizarre decision ruffle our feathers (sorry). Naturally, your mischievous antics do not go unnoticed by the human populace of the village where this game takes place, so you’ll have to be extra careful if you don’t want to be turned into a roast dinner.Īlthough the first letters in the words ‘Untitled Goose Game’ are capitalised, House House have stressed on Twitter that the game does not have an official title. Untitled Goose Game has been generating a surprising amount of hype since it was announced last summer, and with the release date now only days away, developer House House have chosen the perfect time to release a hilarious new trailer for their strange bird simulator.Īs you would probably have guessed from the title (or lack thereof), Untitled Goose Game has you playing as a goose as you engage in a wide variety of activities, including stealing people’s belongings when they aren’t looking, squirting people with hose pipes, and generally causing all sorts of mischief. Untitled Goose Game, the sandbox stealth adventure in which you play a mean, mischievous goose, now has a release date. ![]() Set this value to 256, if it isn’t already.

Because the game was the most rented video game at that store, I had to be put on a waiting list in order to play it! And, when I finally got the opportunity to play the video game for the first time, I couldn't even figure out how to even make the first level begin! Unlike the first two games, in which the level automatically began when you pressed the "START" button, the third game began with a map screen. I had rented it from the corner video store for a weekend, and I wanted to play it so badly. I still remember the day that I first played Super Mario 3. ![]() Nobody ever wants to play a video game that was too easy! Easy games were boring games! I remember many instances in which I was playing Super Mario Brothers 3 and wanting to throw my controller through the screen of the television set because I could not manage to find a way to get through a level without depleting my 1-UP supply. It was also a very challenging game at that. I did rent it at least once a month from the local corner store!īut what a spectacular game it was! It was the first game to introduce the seven Koopalings (Iggy, Larry, Lemmy, Ludwig, Morton, Roy, and Wendy), it was the first game to introduce warp whistles, it was the first game to introduce a small inventory screen in which you could carry up to twenty-eight different items at once, and it was the first Mario game in which Mario gained the power of flight, as a raccoon leaf could make Mario soar to the clouds! Of course, it wasn't as if I hadn't played the video game before prior to owning it. For years, it held the record of being the best-selling video game of all-time.Īnd it was a game that I had gotten for Christmas when I was ten years old, making the year 1991. Originally released in Japan in 1988, the game hit store shelves in the United States and Canada in early 1990, and quickly became a best-selling video game. I'm sure that most everyone has heard of the video game "Super Mario Brothers 3" for the Nintendo Entertainment System. ![]() This would be different from the iTunes way, iMazing will allow you to browse and extract contents from the backup files as you like.īesides, iMazing offers other convenience tools like checking iPhone battery health, migrating data from an old iOS device to the new one, managing apps, force restarting the device, supervising iOS devices and etc. IMazing added a Time-Machine-like feature to wirelessly backup your important data in a safe way, and the backup will be encrypted well to protect your private information.

![]() broken wire from source neutral to resistor or between resistor and ground or even a bad or loose connection. The relay is designed for use with resistance grounded systems up to 4160V but could be used with grounded systems in branch circuit applications where Load current is limited to 800A.Ī major safety concern is the loss of neutral path, i.e. To service the special needs of the mining industry I-Gard has developed the GCHK-100 ground fault relay to improve safety for personnel and equipment in underground or above ground applications. Detection of ground faults is important where safety from electric shock and fire risk can occur and cause serious equipment and personnel hazards. This feature will cause a trip twice as fast as the ground check and five times quicker for frame voltages exceeding 100V. In the event of a ground connection failure and internal leakage within the mobile equipment, it is possible for the frame of the equipment to become live and present a shock hazard.įor added protection, the GCHK-100 detects high equipment frame voltages and quickly trips the relay. The GCHK-100 monitors the loop resistance of the two grounds and trips when it exceeds a preset value.Īdditionally, the relay will detect if the ground loop has become shorted or has opened. Operator safety from electrical shock depends to a large extent on the integrity of the grounding of the equipment when it is energized. It is vital, therefore to know if this grounding has been compromised to do this a second auxiliary ground conductor is incorporated in the trailing cable to the mobile equipment. Wide range AC and/or DC control voltage.Suitable for solidly grounded or resistance grounded systems, three phase or single phase loads.Due to its very low sensitivity (down to 10ma) the mGARD is ideal for people safety in areas wherever the public is exposed to water and electricity such as water parks and fountains.The mGARD-SYM provides detailed device status information. The relay can be connected to the mGARD-SYM remote indicator (with Modbus connectivity) for remote test/reset and monitoring. With the harmonic filter disabled, the relay will respond to AC currents between 25 and 400Hz. This can be used to eliminate false tripping when the relay is used on systems with variable frequency drives. The mGARD reacts to alternating current only and will reject direct current signals. With the harmonic filtering feature enabled, the mGARD rejects all higher frequencies than fundamental. Options are available for operation at 5 VDC, 12 VDC and 24 VDC. The mGARD operates on any control voltage from 40-240 volts direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), and contains an isolated power supply. The I-Gard mGARD is a microprocessor based ground fault relay designed and built to be used on solidly grounded or resistance grounded systems. This innovative digital electronic relay measures ground fault current using built-in zero sequence current sensor (ZSCS). However, the modern relay can be programmed to prevent this and only shunt-trip the lesser priority feeder, leaving the more important feeder on-line. In the event that a second ground fault occurs prior to removing the first ground fault, a phase-to-ground-to-phase or phase-to-phase fault can occur. When this occurs on the original HRG, it would cause both feeder circuit breakers and possibly the main circuit breaker to trip. ![]() The purpose is to continually remind maintenance personnel to either remove the ground fault or to reset the timer every so many hours. Unless the ground fault is removed or the timer is reset, the faulted feeder is shunt-tripped offline. Since the zero-sequence current transformers identify the faulted feeder, the relay has the ability to begin a (user programmable, usually in hours) timer when the ground fault first occurs. There is a concern that the first ground will be left on the system and ignored. ![]() The original HRG system developed in the 1950’s and 1960’s provided process continuity, however, they were unable to solve potential safety issues, such as a second ground fault, leaving the ground on the system too long and monitoring of the neutral path.

VILE COMMENTS Bob Huggins is a fossil who doesn't understand most young players hate his bigotryĪnd he did it twice, without even a hint of hesitation or apology as it was happening. This was a 69-year-old man going on a radio show in Cincinnati and gleefully using a term to describe gay people that was intended to denigrate fans of Xavier University, Huggins’ former rival when he coached the Cincinnati Bearcats from 1989-2005. This wasn’t a slip of the tongue or an innocent mistake. This isn’t about wokeness or cancel culture. Why would anyone hold a basketball coach to a different standard? Heck, if a public-facing employee or executive of any American company said those things, we all know what would happen. If Baker’s boss, West Virginia president Gordon Gee, had said those things, his tenure would also be over in the blink of an eye. If his boss, West Virginia athletics director Wren Baker, went on a radio show and said the highly offensive, homophobic things Huggins said Monday, he would be fired before nightfall.
