UltraISO burned the ISO-to-USB at a reasonable speed and has the bonus of mounting ISOs before burning to check their files.FlashBoot has a decent UI and a burning wizard to guide you through, but I gave up on the test as it had not even hit 50% after nearly 40 minutes.However, it didn't make the cut through a slow time and lack of features. ISO to USB is another very basic tool.However, I have read other positive reviews, so it could be worth a look for other individuals. Passcape ISO Burner is a multifunction burning tool, but it wouldn't work for me.In our test, we created an Image-Backups folder in our Documents folder on the computers hard disk. The utility prompts you for a location to save the backup file. WinToBootic fits comfortably into the basic features category and clocked a decent time, too. To back up a bootable USB device, make sure Device Mode is selected in the list in the upper-left corner, and then click the Backup button.However, XBOOT's QEMU function is excellent. XBoot is another multiboot tool featuring an inbuilt download, but other options were faster and somewhat easier to use.Unfortunately, a few tools didn't make the grade for one reason or another. We've tested many more ISO-to-USB tools to bring you the best overall picture possible. This article refers to it as a bootable USB, but others may refer to it as a bootable pendrive. Bootable Pendrive: Another way to refer to a USB drive you can use to boot your system from or install a new operating system.There are several ways to fix a bad sectors error. It is somewhat like defragmenting your desktop but on a much smaller scale. The software will scan your USB before the burn commences, fixing any irregularities to ensure a smooth installation. Bad Sector: Some ISO to USB tools allow you to perform a bad sector check.There are different file systems available, though your burning tool should discern your requirements via the ISO you use. Without it, your data would lump together with no beginning or end. File System: Controls how data is accessed and stored.Instead of assigning individual disk sectors, the file system assigns contiguous groups of sectors, called clusters. Cluster Size: Defines the smallest available space for storing data. In this context, users can test their USB before proceeding with the burn process. QEMU: Short for Quick Emulator, QEMU is a hardware virtualization tool.You can also create a multiboot ISO to USB installer containing multiple installation options. Syslinux: A lightweight bootloader package that allows users to select between multiple Linux or Unix installations.It's worth noting that dual booting and virtual machines aren't one and the same. Grub4dos: A bootloader package that allows users to select between multiple operating systems installed on a single system, typically known as dual-booting.Some ISO-to-USB tools allow you to choose the bootloader you'll need for your desired operating system installation. Bootloader: The bootloader loads the operating system.A Mini-Glossary of ISO-to-USB Tool Terminologyīefore we plow into the testing phase, there are a handful of ISO-to-USB acronyms that it's handy to know, plus a few other bits of ISO-to-USB jargon we'll clear up.

I shall probably have another rave about Curio at a later date. Curio has templates for various purposes, or you can create your own. A Curio Dossier is a form you fill in to define a project's scope and goals. And I can use Curio's Dossier function to track the what and why of a project. It also gives me simple data exchange between the two applications, without keeping duplicate copies of documents, and wasting disk space.įor example, I can use Curio's Presentation Mode to do full screen presentations of material stored in EagleFiler, nicely laid out and with hand drawn annotations if I want (I got a Wacom Graphire4 tablet earlier in the week). This gives me EagleFiler as the "filing cabinet full of folders of stuff", and Curio as the work space for aggregating bits and pieces into a greater whole. Simple: because EagleFiler is flat file, I can drag an item from the Eaglefiler "Records List" window straight into the Curio "Idea Space", and because Curio uses links to files in the underlying file system (unless you specifically tell it to import its own copy of a file), Curio references the same physical instance of the item as EagleFiler. "What does this have to do with EagleFiler?" I hear you ask. I think that Curio will change the way I work, because it opens a range of possible ways of arranging data. I thought that I had my requirements pretty well worked out when I started this, but that was before I discovered Curio. The flat file structure is easy to backup, to replicate, to reuse. I was always a little uneasy about having to run an additional database engine, with all the possibilities of corruption and loss. I would still like encryption in my litter sorter app, but the requirement is less urgent than I had first thought.Īnd finally, the most important factor: EagleFiler uses a flat file storage structure, where Yojimbo uses an SQL database. I shall have to continue to store password data on my Palm Pilot, or consider moving it to my Blackberry. Further, on attempting to move my passwords into a laptop based application, I found that I still needed access in other situations: I don't always have my laptop with me. While EagleFiler does not now support encryption, it is under consideration for an upcoming release. If I have time next week I'll do a post on classification theory, to try and make this clearer. Tagging is needed to relate information from different folders, but I must have adequate folder granularity in the first place. For example, I require a folder called "Craft", and that folder must subdivide into crochet, beading and knitting. I cannot possibly over emphasize how important this is: I cannot live with everything dumped into large, coarsely sorted, buckets. The Drop Dock tends to "jam" when the laptop sleeps, the Drop Pad seems to remain responsive regardless of the laptop sleeping and waking.ĮagleFiler supports sub folders. The EagleFiler Drop Pad is better behaved than the Yojimbo Drop Dock. However, the critical factors for me were: Your experience may vary, and I do urge you to examine both products carefully before making your own final decision. But EagleFiler has some major advantages for me, personally. I must admit that when I started this exercise, I thought that my final choice would be Yojimbo, and I still think that Yojimbo is a fine product. To start, add a black and white effect to your image. Softly fading a color image to black and white is another creative and impactful effect. Try dragging from corner to corner or top to bottom and see what you get-depending on your image, one gradient angle may look better than another. All three apps automatically update the mask as you drag with the Gradient tool, so keep clicking and dragging until you’re satisfied. When you release your mouse button, the app plops the gradient into the layer mask (circled below), which fades the images together. As you drag, a line represents the width of the fade: The shorter the line (the less distance you drag), the narrower the fade and the harsher the transition the longer the line, the wider the gradient and the softer the fade. With the layer mask active (you’ll see a colored border around it), click and hold your mouse button down where you want the fade to begin, drag in any direction and then let go of your mouse. In Pixelmator, once you activate the Gradient tool, click the gradient preview at upper left of your document and in the resulting menu, click the black to white linear gradient icon. In Elements’ Tool Options panel, you’ll find similar controls. From the resulting menu, click the black-to-white gradient (third from left in the top row), and then click the linear gradient button to the menu’s right. To do this in Photoshop, trot up to the Options bar and click the down-pointing triangle next to the gradient preview. Next, press G to grab the Gradient tool-this keyboard shortcut works in all three apps-and then choose a black-to-white, linear gradient. Add a layer mask to it by clicking the circle-within-a-square icon at the bottom of your Layers panel in Photoshop it’s at the top of the Layers panel in Photoshop Elements’ Expert Mode (in Pixelmator, choose Layer > Add Layer Mask). With at least two images on separate layers within the same document, position the image you want on the top of your collage at the top of the layer stack. A color tint was added to the top example to introduce color consistency between the two images.Ī gradient mask lets you quickly fade images together into a collage. In this column, you’ll discover six handy uses for this creative technique. By setting the two colors of the gradient to black and white-to conceal and reveal, respectively-the tool lets you fade layer content in interesting ways. But besides using the tool to add color to your designs, you can use it inside a layer mask (referred to as a gradient mask). Sitting quietly in the Tools panel of the popular image editors Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Pixelmator, is the Gradient tool, a wonderfully useful painting tool that lets you create a soft, gradual transition from one color to another (or several). "This year's nominated programs represent every inhabited continent on earth," said International Academy President & CEO, Bruce L. Over 200 international executives across all sectors of the mobile, entertainment, and internet industries, are expected to attend. The Emmys and Pioneer Prize will be presented at the International Digital Emmy Awards ceremony, sponsored by the Bell Fund of Canada for the second year in a row, during MIPTV's Opening night festivities at the Martinez Hotel. 80% of its traffic comes from outside the US. With one billion monthly users, YouTube is currently localized in 61 countries across 61 languages. Alex Carloss, Head of Entertainment, will accept on behalf of his company. The International Academy will present the 2014 Pioneer Prize to YouTube for its innovative contributions to the field of digital entertainment. The full list of Nominees from: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Portugal, Singapore, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, follows this release. There are 12 nominees in three categories, Digital Program: Children & Young People Digital Program: Fiction and Digital Program: Non-Fiction. The awards will be announced on 7 April 2014. At the time of writing, he is currently in Malta producing the Staġun Teatru Malti at the Manoel Theatre and directed a spectacle based on Mikiel Anton Vassalli at the Manoel Theatre in April 2014.Īzzopardi's film Time Tremors is in the running for an award in the 'Digital Program: Children and Young People' category. I’m still nervous that he’s going to come after me in some way.” It’s logical for her to be scared of that, but she did mention, “I made sure that I will never say his name or anything like that.” Even so, she can’t help admitting, “It’s nerve wracking.Mario Philip Azzopardi's film Time Tremors, which he directed in Canada last year has been nominated for an Emmy Award by the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.Īzzopardi is a Maltese director and producer who recently wrote and directed a Maltese co-production in Malta. The SUR bartender confessed, “I was very nervous talking about him. I can only say what I do.” So without saying that he reached out to her, that seems to be what she is implying with that answer. I haven’t spoken a word to him in over four years, but that’s me. In an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish podcast, Ariana was asked if her ex has reached out to her since these episodes started airing.Īriana shared, “I’ll just say this. Ariana attributed this to the insecurities she acquired from her ex. Aside from some frivolous, one-episode arguments here and there, there hasn’t been too much drama for Tom and Ariana in the long list of Vanderpump Rules story lines, but this season they’ve both been very vocal about the lack of sex in their relationship. That shaft is going to want to - and will only - flex naturally on that marked line! Now its flexing properly in a left-to-right manner! Just how we are swinging the club! Think about how the first part of the movie showed the shaft going round and round!! Why in the world would we want the shaft to do that in our golf swing?Ĭan I get my shafts spine-aligned/balanced in my set that I already play with?: YES! I can take your clubs apart, clean them and prep them for re-assembly. Meaning that when we would look down the shaft and club once it has been assembled, the marked line would now be at a 9:00 o'clock position for right-handed clubs and in a 3:00 o'clock position for left-handed clubs. I then mark that 12:00 o'clock position and will align that shaft in the clubhead with that marked like in a neutral, parallel, or squared position with the clubhead. Thats what we want!!! That shafts spine while flexing is directly on the top of the shaft - like a clock in the 12:00 o'clock position. (no, I am not knocking the manufacturer, just using them as a reference - and as I stated above this really needs to be done with all golf shafts to find the maximum performance of your golf club).ĭid you see the last part with the shaft flexing straight up and down. first as it would have been installed directly from the factory and then second as I have found the spine/balance point. SEE IT IN ACTION! In this movie you are going to see the SAME SHAFT - in this case an OEM shaft out of a well known manufacturer's driver. How do I find the spine/balance point of a golf shaft? I first use a device that simply helps initially to find a starting point and then I attach an industry standard 205 gram perfectly milled and round weight to the tip of the shaft and use a custom engineered laser system which tells me exactly how the golf shaft is flexing! My system flexes and tests the golf shaft going up and down. if the tires are BALANCED! It doesn't matter if you spent $20 per tire or $400 per tire they all get BALANCED! The same can go for golf shafts! Your car wont ride down the street going 'wobble' 'wobble' 'wobble'. What is the first thing that happens after you purchase a set of tires for your car? The tires get BALANCED! The tires would still work if they weren't but they perform much better if they are BALANCED. Now I'm are not saying that a club won't perform if I assemble a club this way, but I am saying that it is best if we take this variable out - and find the spine - so that I can install the shaft in a club head in a squared or neutral position so we know, without a shadow-of-a-doubt, that the shaft will want to flex properly left-and-right (as we swing a club) and NOT up-and-down! Why would we want a shaft to flex up-and-down when we are trying to swing it left-to-right or right-to-left?īalancing? Don't get the 'spine' explanation. So ultimately we want to find a shaft's spine so that we know exactly where the shaft is going to flex naturally! Why is this so important? Well, if we don't find the spine of a shaft, then we just ram in a shaft in a club head and hope for the best!. Golf shafts have the same characteristics and will want to flex naturally on their spines! (or really at their point of inconsistencies in wall thickness, straightness, roundness and material). But we cant bend as much (and it doesnt feel good) side to side as well as backwards. We can bend in a forward direction just fine and perfect, right? Yep. Spine-Aligning? I say 'spine' since we, as people, have spines and that is where we want to flex (bend) naturally right? Yep. What Does a Motor Transport Operator get Paid? The Army video below provides more information on job duties of a Motor Transport Operator. This means that they serve as the Convoy Commander and will be responsible for coordinating lodging, fuel, maintenance and supply. Motor Transport Operator will perform coordination duties when 40+ vehicle convoy operations consisting of civilian/military personnel, go for a week or longer without direct supervision from higher headquarters. Whenever the vehicle is transported by air, rail or vessel, the Operator will prepare and secure the vehicle for transport. They are required to identify, correct or report any vehicle deficiencies that are found during maintenance checks. Operators perform maintenance and as part of the maintenance duties, Operators will prepare operator maintenance forms. Motor Transport Operators will complete vehicle maintenance checks and vehicle self recovery. Soldiers in this MOS will operate different vehicle mounted weapons whenever their assistance is needed. In the event of an accident, operators will respond to the accident and prepare operator accident forms when it is safe to do so. They must also know convoy defense techniques and are responsible for assisting with convoy operation security and defense planning. Soldiers must know skid-control, recovery accident procedures and fire procedures. Their position can be very dangerous as they are driving in unsecured areas in the battlefield. Safety is a large component of the position. They can sometimes perform dispatch duties. When transporting personnel, Operators assist in loading, unloading and ensure their safety.īecause soldiers are driving in foreign areas, they are required to recognize foreign traffic signals, use hand signals and arm signals.Īnother component to communication functions is the task of operating radio communication and digital communication equipment. They ensure that the cargo is secured to the vehicle and the contents are being transported in a safe manner.Ī portion of their time will be spend assisting loading cargo and operating different loading equipment. Prior to transporting cargo, Operators will inspect any cargo and its content. Some of these tools include road, topographical and strip maps. Motor Transport Operators use different tools to ensure they are navigating correctly. Soldiers in this MOS are trained and will be required to drive in all terrains, weather and even in black-out situations using night-vision. With additional training, soldiers can be expected to drive a multi-purpose vehicle, special unit off-terrain vehicle or heavy equipment transporter. The soldiers in this MOS operate medium and heavy tactical vehicles. Related Article: Army Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic (MOS 91B): Career Details What are the Job Duties of a Motor Transport Operator?

The concept of authenticity is strongly linked to that of aura, and in Benjamin’s text the terms are used almost interchangeably. (2018) speak about how ACCORD, a Cultural Heritage project co-designed and co-produced with members of the community, put the participants in the condition to experience heritage sites in a different light and allowed them to gain knowledge about the site itself or the community’s relationship with it. They invite museums and institutions, two of the gatekeepers when it comes to knowledge, to share their reproductions and to involve the public in the recontextualization of the past. For example, in their essay, Sarah Younan and Cathy Treadaway (2015) argue that the democratization of access to 3D artifacts and the possibility to interact with them can pave the way for novel, meaningful narratives about the past that may have not found a place in the authorized heritage discourse. In a similar way, 3D reproductions of artifacts can draw the public towards cultural heritage. This process, which the loss of aura is a prerequisite for, shakes the power structure implied by the authentic work and its tradition, allowing the general public (for Benjamin, ‘the masses’) to receive it, interpret it, question it, enjoy it. 25) with new chances of exhibiting artworks to a wider audience, the value of the artwork shifts to the polar opposite of the cult value, now with emphasis on its ‘exhibition value’. Instead of being founded on ritual, it is based on a different practice: politics’ (p. However, ‘as soon as the criterion of authenticity ceases to be applied to artistic production’ (that is, when aura dissipates), ‘the whole social function of art is revolutionized. Benjamin argues that artworks were initially based in the ritual, whether magical, religious or secular, and on their unapproachability (for everyone except the few privileged) was founded their value, a ‘cult value’. In turn, the reproduction of, in particular, works of art results in a shift in the function of art itself. 21) replicas uproot the authentic object from its original place in tradition and bring it closer to us, thus dispelling aura. That happens when copies of auratic objects are (technologically) reproduced, since ‘n even the most perfect reproduction, one thing is lacking: the here and now of the work of art’ (p. When that distance is reduced, when the unique existence in the here and now becomes a ‘mass existence’ (p. The object’s location in a certain tradition, its unique history and its authority evoke the feeling of aura, ‘the unique apparition of a distance’ (p. The ideas of aura and authenticity of 3D reproductions will be briefly discussed and related to my own process of creating two visualizations in collaboration with the Mining Museum of Heerlen, The Netherlands.Īuratic objects derive their aura from their ‘unique existence in a particular place’, their ‘here and now’ (Benjamin, 1935, p. Nevertheless, digital reproductions are widely considered to be of great value to knowledge, as a growing number of institutions and researchers are producing digital replicas allowing members of the public to visualize them on the internet. In this regard, 3D models may be considered inauthentic, but many contrasting voices promote different approaches to authenticity. Digital objects lack materiality and are seemingly unaffected by the passing of time additionally, as copies of original objects, digital counterparts lack aura in the Benjaminian sense (1935), having neither a history nor a place in time and space. In particular, a rich debate concerns the authenticity of tridimensional models in comparison to the original artifact they represent. Digital replicas provide many advantages, facilitating access and visibility to a wider audience being the main one, but their production also presents many challenges. Cultural heritage institutions and practitioners have embraced 3d representations as a way of digitizing artifacts.
