![]() Coming down with 4 loyalty, with the ability to immediately go to 6, is very valuable when the most effective burn spell (Fry, which hits blue or white planeswalkers and creatures) can hit it for 5. In a nutshell, Oko has a lot of loyalty to protect itself, and both of its abilities are good. That Oko’s oppressive elkification ability is a +1 makes it even more obnoxious to deal with! When a cheap permanent is able to answer almost every creature in Standard that can threaten its controller’s board, that’s a problem. Oko, Thief of Crowns is not the first planeswalker to draw a Standard ban, but he certainly outpaced Jace, the Mind Sculptor in that regard, not even making it three months before his elk-proliferating ways and shirt-averse shenanigans proved too oppressive for Standard. This card was, unsurprisingly, 1st on my Top 12 list. Sit well in order and smite the sounding furrows, because big things are coming. I hope you all enjoyed our 2019 Top 12 retrospective, because tomorrow we’re looking ahead to another much-hoped-for set. That kind of power and versatility is what made him so seductive (various references definitely intended) and also so dangerous I doubt he’ll be unbanned in Pioneer any time soon, though he may make a lasting impact on Modern and Legacy. ![]() And when you do need to go on the offense, he can start creating you an army of stompy deer – for no mana investment other than his original cost. This may not sound like a great deal until you consider that it’s often easier to protect yourself against a 3/3 creature than Embercleave or Bolas’s Citadel. Like many planeswalkers, his abilities have a clear suggested “order” or story, involving trading Food tokens for more aggressive things your opponent might play, but he’s actually equally good at just turning everything into an Elk until time stops. ![]() Thief of time, thief of desire, thief of almost anything relevant. Thief of Crowns, thief of hearts, and thief of formats.

![]() But the tiny size, combined with the high-contrast picture, makes this an ideal companion for business presentations on the go. The lack of wireless connectivity is disappointing, and the fact that Optima sells a dongle to correct that oversight for an additional cost is borderline insulting. The projector is also on the expensive side. You will want to ensure your presentation room is as dark as possible. It's ideal for business because it's bright enough for a conference room and small enough for a briefcase or backpack. The size becomes even more impressive when considering this powerful machine's 700 ANSI lumens and 20,000:1 contrast ratio. In this case, you can get a 100-inch projection just six feet away. It's also a short-throw projector, so you can have the projector close to the screen and still have a full-sized picture. Photos of the projector don't show how small this projector is. There are mini projectors, and then there's the Optima ML 750ST. Resolution: 1080p | Brightness: 50 ANSI lumens | Contrast Ratio: 2000:1 | Projection Size: 30 to 100 inches Overall, this device is small enough to fit into a jacket pocket or a small bag, making it ideal for campers, hikers, or anyone who wants to tote their projector. The included tripod lets you point the projector anywhere you need it. You can connect to your projector using the HDMI input or plug in a USB drive to display photos and movies. Still, we like to see that kind of versatility in devices. You can also charge your phone off the battery, leaving even less power for the projector. The projector comes with a 3,400 mAh battery built-in, which will barely get you through a 2-hour movie. However, it also has a dim picture, so you'll want to set this projector up in as dark a room as possible. This device is about the size of three CD cases stacked on top of each other and has decent sound. Keeping in line with portability comes the Apeman M4 DLP projector. Resolution: 720p | Brightness: 200 ANSI lumens | Contrast Ratio: Not listed | Projection Size: 40 to 100 inches It's not cheap, but it's got everything you need. Overall, we like the Nebula Capsule II and it's the perfect solution for a pop-up cinema night or even as a bedroom TV for occasional use. You can also control it using Google Assistant, a smartphone app, or the supplied remote. The projector runs on Google's Android software, so with the easy-to-use interface, you can easily download apps like Netflix or Hulu, plus you get the bonus of built-in Google Assistant. It's got everything you need, including a speaker built into the base and a built-in app store-connect it to a Wi-Fi network, and you're good to go. When it comes to that, the size of a soda can is about as small as you can get (especially as most bags and backpacks have pockets designed for carrying drink-sized items). ![]() When considering mini projectors, portability is one of the prime considerations. "The idea that a five-year-old start-up could mature and operate at the same level as a financial institution that has been around for 200 years was once impossible to fathom," Zhao wrote in January in a review of the previous year. Even this year, Zhao felt a major goal was within reach. The 46-year-old CEO did not waver in his belief as he built up his crypto exchange. "We want to take over the entire market!" he told staff in a company chat group that year. LOFTY AMBITIONSĪfter launching Binance in Shanghai in 2017, Zhao dreamed big. Zhao and his lawyers did not return calls seeking comment. Prosecutors are seeking an 18-month prison sentence, the New York Times reported. US sentencing guidelines call for prison time of 10 to 18 months for the charges he faces. Zhao, known as CZ, will personally pay US$50 million and is barred from all involvement with Binance. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility." ![]() ![]() "Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. "Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance," Zhao tweeted. The deal with the Justice Department, part of a large settlement between Binance and other US agencies, resolves criminal charges for conducting an unlicensed money transmitter business, conspiracy and breaching sanctions regulations. ![]() LONDON: The most powerful man in crypto has lost his crown - and could see his freedom curtailed as well.īinance chief Zhao Changpeng on Tuesday (Nov 21) stepped down and pleaded guilty to breaking US anti-money laundering laws as part of a US$4.3 billion settlement resolving a years-long probe into the world's largest crypto exchange, prosecutors said. ![]() “The average hibernator weighs only 70 grams,” Ruf says. Most mammalian hibernators are on the smaller side. ![]() National Park Service suggests they are super hibernators. Unlike animals that stir regularly during hibernation, bears can go for 100 days or so without needing to wake to consume or pass anything, and they can be aroused much more easily than typical hibernators. While bears might be the first that come to mind, for years questions have surrounded whether bears are true hibernators. And, of course, there are lots of mammals. There is even at least one fish-the Antarctic cod ( Dissostichus mawsoni)-that slows down its metabolism in winter, becoming 1/20 less active. What Kinds of Animals Hibernate? One bird and a variety of amphibians, reptiles, and insects also exhibit hibernation-like states. Unfortunately, these arousals may drive hibernating species to extinction as our climate changes scientists have found that animals stay active longer during arousal periods as ambient temperatures rise, depleting more of the energy they are trying to conserve. Some think they need to turn back on their immune systems to fight disease, while others think they may simply awaken so they can sleep. Why they do this is “one of the greatest mysteries” of the field, Ruf says. About 80 percent of their energy is spent intermittently waking and warming up. But species don’t stay in their cold, comatose state for the duration of their dormant period. ![]() Not only does adenosine ramp up in winter in ground squirrels, the receptors for the molecule become more sensitive to it. Drew’s research has shown that cooling is likely regulated by levels of adenosine in the brain. The Arctic ground squirrels Drew works on can take this much further, supercooling to subfreezing temperatures. What Actually Happens when Animals Hibernate? To slow their metabolism, animals cool their bodies by 5° to 10☌ (9° to 18☏) on average. When hibernating, “you don’t smell you don't make any noise you don't make any movements so you are very hard to detect for predator,” says Thomas Ruf, a professor of animal physiology at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria. His work has shown that small mammals are five times more likely to die each month when active than when hibernating. Recent studies have even suggested a third reason: protection. For example, echidnas in Australia will hibernate after fires, waiting until food resources rebound to resume normal activities. “Some species hibernate in response to food shortages,” Drew notes. There are tropical hibernators that may do so to stay cool in the heat. While hibernation is most often seen as a seasonal behavior, it’s not exclusive to cold-weather critters. She studies the brain chemistry of hibernating Arctic ground squirrels ( Spermophilus parryii). In fact, Blanco’s research has found that hibernators have to undergo periodic arousals so they can catch some sleep! Why Do Animals Hibernate? Put simply: “Hibernation is a means of energy conservation,” says Kelly Drew, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in the United States. Their brain activity “becomes undetectable.” This is very different from sleep, which is a gentle resting state where unconscious functions are still performed. And instead of breathing about every second, they can go up to 10 minutes without taking a breath. For example, when dwarf lemurs hibernate, they reduce their heart rates from over 300 beats per minute to fewer than six, Blanco says. “Most of the physiological functions are extremely slowed down or completely halted,” says Marina Blanco, a postdoctoral associate at the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, North Carolina, United States, who studies the dwarf lemurs ( Cheirogaleus spp.) of Madagascar-the only primates that hibernate on a regular schedule. Hibernation is an extended form of torpor, a state where metabolism is depressed to less than five percent of normal. What Is Hibernation? Despite what you may have heard, species that hibernate don’t “sleep” during the winter. ![]() Read on for more behind the science of hibernation. For people who aren't fans of winter, animals that hibernate seem to have the right idea: It's the equivalent of burying your head under the covers until spring comes-isn't it? Not quite. ![]() How could you possibly know what you want to print, how big, or how many pages you would want in your album without having seen the photos? You wouldn't unless you're psychic!

On the Layer palette, select the layer, then use the Edit menu > Outline selection to add a border. Outline selection creates a border around a selected area on a raster or vector layer. On the Layer palette, select the layer, then use the Edit menu > Convert brightness to opacity to convert white areas to alpha. When a grayscale image is converted, the areas closer to white will be more transparent, while areas closer to black will be more opaque. Uses the brightness of a layer to convert the white parts to transparency. Duplicate the fence layer Ctrl + C > Ctrl + V. (You can also do it with a raster layer instead of a vector layer, but if you resize the fence afterward, the border will be messed up.) 2B. You can also change the color of a layer as an effect from the Layer Property palette > Layer color. Change the Thickness of edges and Edge color as you like. For vector layers, vector lines will be cut off at the selection’s boundary. The shape defining the clip can include the extent of the raster layer or an area within the layer. You can create a selection on the canvas to apply the effect to only the selected area. Clips a raster layer using a rectangular shape according to the extents defined, or will clip a raster layer to the shape of an input polygon feature class. If the layer color is set to Monochrome or Gray and the drawing color is pure black or pure white, you cannot use Convert to drawing color. CLIP collects raster, vector, or bitmap layers to create a new file from dataset regions you specify. Use a color palette to select the color you want to change to, then use the Edit menu > Convert to drawing color to change the color. On the Layer palette, select the layer that you want to change the color of. You can change the color of a layer (raster and vector layers only). Finally, at the end of the options we will find a box that allows us to keep the original layer, this means that a separate raster layer will be created, leaving the vector layer intact This can be useful to maintain the vector information for any changes you wish to make.Other layer effects are also available in Clip Studio Paint to convert layers to the current drawing color, convert white parts to transparency, and outline selections. In the other options we can change the “Expression Color” and “Combination Modes (Fusion)”. ![]() ![]() Type (K): Here we will change the vector layer to raster by displaying the menu and selecting the “Raster Layer” option. A window will appear where we can name the layer and change the following settings: To make the convention we will place the cursor over the vector layer that we want to transform, we will right click A series of options will appear from which we will choose "Convert layer (H)". The best we can do when painting on vector layers will be abrupt results.Īnother thing we can do is convert vector layers into raster layers and vice versa from raster to vector, but I don't highly recommend this second one because the quality of the line is not very good. In the Raster to Vector tool, select the raster layer you want to convert and specify the output format as Lines. Go to the Processing Toolbox, and select the Raster to Vector tool. ![]() Furthermore, by not being able to mix the colors we will encounter another difficulty if we want to do something more than comfortably control the lineart.Īnother point to keep in mind is that since you cannot use mixing tools, we will not be able to match the colors very well with each other in the best way. The following steps outline the basic process of converting a raster into polylines in QGIS: Load the raster into QGIS. A first idea you may have is to maintain the Lines on a Vector Layer and do. I suspect the Vector tools in CSP were created primarily for the Lineart stage of an Anime Production since, on this project, the colors are made in other types of softwares. ![]() ➜ Aforementioned vector tools (Fix Line, Object, Eraser).Īlthough we can use the brushes, they have some points to consider, let's see what they are:Ĭertainly, we can use several brushes, but it must be emphasized that not all of them, some are not available, and also the texture they give us can only be seen and modified in a vector layer within CLIP STUDIO PAINT because when we want to export it in format SVG to use the vector in another program we will lose that information, only the line will remain. You can’t color on a vector layer like you do on a Raster based Layer. Tap Library in the bottom-right corner of the screen.ħ. Tap the trash can icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.ĥ.
