Solange creates such fully realized art that even when she may be expressing uncertainty and doubt, she’s charging herself–and her audience–with finding possibility.” – Entertainment Weekly. What the critics say: “A stunning effort. If this year is indicative of what is to come, then we’re pumped for 2020! Here is our list of the 20 best albums of 2019: When I Get Home, Solange ![]() ![]() We also saw a lot of self-reflection and inspiration from the liked of Jamila Woods, Lizzo, Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey, and Sharon Van Etten. Music that debuted this year reflected that, especially from our youth like Billie Eilish, Dave, and Little Simz. When artists write about that age, what they’re really writing about is time, and the spaces between it all.163 Shares Our Picks for Best Albums of 2019Ģ019 was a politically charged, at times somber, year. 17 is a strange, shimmering anomaly, suspended in the air. When you’re 18, you’re basically an adult – in the UK at least. ![]() When you’re 16, you’re still at school, you’re treated like a child because you are one. But there is also a specific energy to being 17. Much has already been written about pop culture’s never-ending infatuation with youth, and there are plenty of songs, films and books which are based around being 16, or 18. Obviously you could say it’s not necessarily the age 17 that pop music is obsessed with, but being a teenager in general. It’s there, too, in Eurythmics actually quite awful 1999 release “ 17 Again,” in which Annie Lennox looks back on being 17, sings about how it feels: “Innocence will teach you, what it feels like to be used / Thought that you'd done everything, you didn't have a clue.” I could carry on listing a bunch of songs like this, but honestly who has time. It’s there “by the record machine” when Joan Jett sings about how she “knew he must have been about 17.” It’s there in Abba’s “ Dancing Queen” who was “young and sweet” and “only 17.” Stevie Nicks’ most famous solo song “ Edge of Seventeen” is all about a young boy, right on the cusp of that difficult, sparkling time. Once you notice pop music’s love affair with this specific age, suddenly you see it everywhere. “Don’t let me go, ‘cos I love, oh I love you so,” Dolores Kenniebrew sings, her voice glimmering and soft like treacle, “What a nice way to turn 17… I’m 17.” How crushes can feel mammoth and unconditional, how little you feel the need to protect yourself because you’ve likely not been hurt yet – at least not properly. Whenever I hear it, though, it reminds me of the blind idealism of that age. This is a blissful, romantic song, in which they sing about spending their birthday in the arms of someone they love. One of my favourite songs under this theme is The Crystals’ “What a Nice Way to Turn 17” which was released in 1962. Van Etten isn’t the first artist to pay homage to this specific age. How sweet it can be, how uncomfortable, how complex it feels to look back on. ![]() Later, her voice lowers over the bass and synth: “I see you so uncomfortably alone / I wish I could show you how much you’ve grown.” And in those two contradictory bars, Van Etten articulates exactly what it means to be 17. In “ Seventeen”, the lead single, she sings: “I used to be free / I used to be 17” her words breaking over soaring guitar riffs. But there’s one song that really stands out. It’s brilliant, full of atmospheric songwriting and emotionally affecting melodies. Earlier this month, on Friday 18 January, Brooklyn-based musician Sharon Van Etten released her fifth album, Remind Me Tomorrow.

![]() There are many choices regarding a sophisticated and undetectable surveillance kit, from pen to spy and hidden security cameras. The perfect hidden camera for you will depend on your personal situation. Below, we’ve covered what we believe are the most notable features that you need to take into account: KERUI V2įeatures to look for in Hidden Cameras For Bathroomĭepending on the main reason why you are investing in a hidden spy camera, there will be a few different considerations that you will need to take into account. Whether your priority is the security of your bathroom or just surveillance, the range of functions you will need will be slightly different. ![]() Many hidden cameras are presented on the internet, but only the best devices that have received the most positive reviews from buyers deserve a place in this rating. Note: By law, it is prohibited to use special means of hidden video monitoring, and this requires permission. At the same time, it is not forbidden to mount the device into a wall, ceiling, or cornice, as well as install video equipment that simulates various devices – smoke or motion detectors. Therefore, we did detailed research and selected the top 5 best-hidden cameras for the bathroom: Model:
On January 29, 2011, The O'Jays received the "Trumpet Lifetime Achievement Award". In 2009, The O'Jays were awarded BET's 'Lifetime Achievement Award' and Eddie Levert was awarded the "Heroes and Legends Pacesetter Award". ![]() Later in 2008, Eddie and his late son Gerald were presented with "Best Duo or Group" Image Award. In 2008, Eddie's son Sean died as a result of being denied needed prescription medication by government officials in Ohio. In 2007, Eddie and son Gerald's album recorded in 2006, "Something to Talk About" was released followed by the publication of the book "I Got Your Back" co-authored by Eddie and son Gerald. In 2006, upon returning from a South African tour with sons Gerald and Sean, Eddie's son Gerald died due to interactions between his prescribed medications. In 1992 Eddie and son Gerald recorded "Baby Hold On to Me" which was a No. They met Marc Gordon recording under the group name LeVert – four of their seven albums went platinum. In 1984, Levert's two sons Gerald and Sean, both still in high school, announced that they wanted to follow their father's musical background. Their EMI debut album, "Let Me Touch You", went to number three R&B and included "Lovin' You", which became a number-one R&B hit in the summer of 1987. The O'Jays later signed with EMI-Manhattan Records and Levert and Williams began co-writing and producing their own tracks. In 1969, The O'Jays signed with Philadelphia International Records where they began to release records under the new label. The Mascots' popularity grew as their music was broadcast on Cleveland radio stations. They traveled to Cincinnati to canvas King Records whose President Sid Nathan changed their name to The Mascots and signed them to his label. The Triumphs played locally in Canton opening for different acts, playing 'sock hops'. While at high school, he teamed up with classmates Walter Williams, William Powell, Bobby Massey and Bill Isles to form a group called the Triumphs. As Levert continued singing into his teenage years, he became a recognized voice in the church choir, sang in school plays and performed regularly on a gospel radio show. He attended church regularly and eventually joined the church choir. Levert was born in Bessemer, Alabama, but was raised in Canton, Ohio, where he moved at the age of six. He is the father of Gerald Levert (1966–2006) and Sean Levert (1968–2008). ![]() Here is a list of "Gerald Levert's Ten Greatest Hits.Edward Willis Levert (born June 16, 1942) is an American singer, best known as the lead vocalist of The O'Jays. ![]() His death was ruled accidental and was due to acute intoxication, caused by a combination of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Gerald Levert passed away Novemat the age of 40. ![]() He also recorded with Chaka Khan, Teena Marie, Yolanda Adams, and Miki Howard. Levert composed and produced songs for several artists including Barry White, Anita Baker, Teddy Pendergrass, Stephanie Mills, Freddie Jackson, James Ingram, The Winans, and The O'jays. Gerald released two duet albums with his Eddie Levert, and he also substituted for his dad when his father was ill and not able to tour with The O'Jays. Levert recorded eight number one hits on the Billboard R&B charts, including "Baby Hold On To Me" with his father. During his 31 year recording career, he performed as the lead singer of the group Levert (including his brother Sean Levert), as a member of the trio LSG (featuring Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill), and a solo artist. Born Jin Cleveland, Ohio, Gerald Levert followed in the footsteps of his father Eddie Levert, lead singer of The O'Jays. ![]() They should really look into this.Ģ)The tent is way too short to cook in (only dare to do this in terrible weather) and I didn’t trust the ventilation for it either although this isn’t the problem. The issue is the door zips to the side and not to the roof and the taper means that if the door is open then there is a direct route for the rain to come into the tent (not helpful considering the weekend I had). I solved this by getting a cheap tarp and placing it over the door way (not unlike the picture above). This gave me some shelter while cooking and a chance to have the door open and get some fresh air in the tent without worrying about the chance of sudden storms appearing. If you have used this product please leave a review, or your comments for other visitors, many thanks! Other than these 2 niggles, this tent is excellent and I look forward to my next camping trip this weekend!Ġ from 1 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?Īdd your review of the Velocity 400 Airbeam! Vango could really do with a porch or something that was specifically made for it. To leave a review you need to be logged in to the. The Vango Velocity offers AirBeam technology to campers looking for a truly simple to pitch, technically advanced product. This tent can be put up in minutes, leaving you free to enjoy an array of features such as the double entrance and large porch, internal pockets and storage areas providing adequate space for all sorts of camping gear. No pole AirBeam creates a strong and rigid tent structure combined with a rapid, simple pitch. ![]() Further details are on the Vango website.Peg the corners of the tent into place and then inflate the AirBeams using the Vango AirBeam pump (supplied) and the tent will pitch itself! Double valves allow rapid inflation and deflation. The AirBeam range is expected to go on sale next month. Prices start at £235 for the two-person Velocity 200 and range up to £760 for the Infinity 800, which sleeps eight.

A puncture repair kit is supplied for damage to the beams. Vango claims that, because there are no poles to snap, the tents perform well in high winds. Electric pumps and other bike and car foot pumps are not suitable. The larger Infinity tents also come with the Vango TBSII tension-banding system for extra stability.Ī custom pump is supplied with the tents to inflate the low pressure, 5psi (0.344bar) beams. The company says it has spent 15 years perfecting the technology and its fully featured tents are made of extremely durable material, and have been tested in extreme winds and weather conditions to ensure safety and stability. This can all be done in less than five minutes.” Vango says: “To pitch one of these amazing tents all you have to do is take it out of the bag, pop a peg in each of the four corners, blow up the inflatable beams, peg down a few guy lines and away you go. These are definitely aimed at the family camper or the touring tripper rather than the wild camper. The pole-less range starts with the two-person Velocity 200 and goes up to the Infinity 800 for eight people.īut these are no lightweight backpacking tents: the 200 weighs in at a hefty 7kg and the 800 tips the scales at 28.1kg – heavier than a sack of potatoes. The Scottish company says broken tent poles will be a thing of the past with the introduction of its AirBeam tents, which come with a hand pump to inflate the tent hoops in a claimed three minutes for the smaller models.

You can stack %reflect to get insane amount of it, say, 90% and more. An interesting thing about %reflection stacking is that it doesn't have a hard cap.While the latter ones could be re-reflected, auto-hit ones could not. After being reflected, while projectiles with a straight trajectory is reflected at it's source.Homing or curved projectiles are usually receive a random direction Some projectiles are reflected as auto-hits, they can't be physically evaded. The reflected projectile behaviour is somewhat ambiguous.If character have multiple sources of missile reflection, the %damage is an average of sources, weighted with corresponding %reflect chance of the source.Except that, unlike skills, reflected projectiles can fumble. Damage of the reflected projectile is based on your weapon damage, not projectile's original damage, and work the same way as %weapon dps skills.I've tried to find a complete list, but no luck there. One should be very careful, not everything that appears to be a missile could be reflected. A huge single chunk of %reflect is very good though. Plain additive stacking the more %reflect you stacked already. etc for every source of missle reflect ).The practical view of it is that you lose some portion of %reflect compared to Try to always live by the rule of thumb that if there is anything on screen that is not being electrocuted, frozen, burned, or killed in some other horrible way, you're probably doing it wrong.%total = 100 * (1 - ( 1 - %source_1 / 100) * (1 - %source_2 / 100) *. Shocking Orb (Storm) is another fun one to mess around with, sending it lumbering through your thundering killzone before flooding its wake with Shockbolts. Staff Mastery (Frost) will get you more bang for your buck out of your elemental attacks, while Wand Chaos (Storm) will add more insanity to every battle.īeyond that, you could invest some more in the Frost tree and in passives like Ice Brand, but only if you've taken enough freezing skills to make it worth the points. Because why the hell not, right? This is also the point at which I'd commit to either wands or staves (if you haven't already) and start putting points in the corresponding passive. There will still be some times when Prismatic Bolts are better, such as a large group of enemies in a very wide open area, though, so it's up to you.įree points can be dropped into Prismatic Rift (Storm), especially if you're having survivability issues.Īs you continue to max everything mentioned above, you might as well pick up Firestorm (Inferno) to complete your Raining Death From the Sky Trifecta. If you're okay with using respec potions, I would even go so far as to pull all of your points out of Prismatic Bolts once Shockbolts unlocks, and put the latter on right mouse. Lightning Brand in particular should get some attention, as you'll be replacing Prismatic Bolt with Shockbolts in many scenarios. Other than picking up Death's Bounty (Storm), which you should prioritize immediately until it hits Tier 2, and Shockbolts (Storm), this is a good time to focus on your passives. As far as I can tell, across all four classes, it is the most useless skill in the game. Īny spare points you find yourself with can go into Elemental Attunement (Inferno) and Lightning Brand (Storm). All the while, flood the affected region with Prismatic Bolts. ![]() By combining it with Hailstorm, you can start to create vast areas of static damage, or layer them to spell impending doom for everything in a small area. Once you hit 14, grab Thunder Locus (Storm). Combine it with some points in Charge Mastery (Inferno tree) and Hailstorm (Frost tree). Your core skill starting off is going to be Prismatic Bolt (Storm tree). And strength can come in handy if and when you do run out of mana and have to whack things. Dexterity gives you dodge chance, which never hurts. The remaining two points can be distributed however you want to shore up your other stats: don't let Vitality get too far below two thirds of your total level if you don't just really enjoy dying. Put at least three stat points into Focus every level until it gets up around 90 (ignoring gear). Remember three seconds ago when I said you'll need a lot of mana? Still true. ![]() Go with whatever will get you the most damage output and mana sustainability. I like staves, but this build can work just as well with dual wands. It lacks stun attacks, but you should be doing enough damage over a wide enough area that your crowd control is essentially: "The crowd is now dead." This build will give your enemies nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, flooding the screen with torrential damage in enough shapes and colors to make the National Weather Service throw up their hands in defeat. ![]() ![]() Line 7 loads our image from disk using the cv2.imread function. Lines 2-4 handle importing our required Python packages. Open up a new file, name it overlay.py, and insert the following code: # import the necessary packages Let’s go ahead and dive into some source code to create a transparent overlay with Python and OpenCV. To remedy this, we can leverage the cv2.addWeighted function to “blend” images together and construct the transparent overlay. You cannot see myself through the rectangle, nor does the “PyImageSearch” text contain any level of transparency. However, notice that both the rectangle and text are fully opaque! However, both the text and bounding box are entirely opaque - no transparency has been applied. The results of drawing the rectangle and text can be seen below: Figure 2: Drawing a rectangle and text on the original image. Apply the cv2.putText method to draw the text PyImageSearch (along with the transparency factor) in the top-left corner of the image.Use the cv2.rectangle function to draw a red bounding box surrounding myself in the bottom-right corner of the image.We’ll start with the following image: Figure 1: Our initial image that we are going to construct an overlay for.

Jump Right To The Downloads Section Transparent overlays with OpenCV The use cases for transparent overlays are nearly endless - my goal in today’s blog post is simply to show you how you can incorporate them into your own applications. Using transparent overlays alleviates the need to obfuscate the contents of the output image!Ī second, more obvious example is alpha transparency where you need to “blend” two images together. Instead of displaying runtime critical information in separate window or in the terminal, you can directly overlay the information on your output image. So, you might be wondering: “When/where will I use a transparent overlay in my computer vision application? And why are you sharing this tip?”įor starters, if your OpenCV app requires a Heads-up Display (HUD) of any kind, you should consider using transparent overlays. ![]() The results of applying such a transparent overlay can see seen at the top of this blog post.

One of my favorite aspects of running the PyImageSearch blog is sharing little bitesize OpenCV tips and tricks that I’ve learned after nearly 7 years of using the OpenCV library. ![]() It’s like the code comes to life! The lessons are set up from easy to more advanced, so even if you don’t know how to code, it’s a great way to learn. It really does seem magical to be using this drag and drop code, and then watching our little robot follow our instructions to draw on paper right in front of our eyes. The Quick Start guide is handy, and the numbered lessons are guiding us to what we can do and how to make the magic happen. ![]() Promising review: "From first opening the box, this is a great experience!

They take it so far that it’s a detriment to the service. They take the approach of “no one should have an empty glass” and “if you see an empty tray or unfolded napkin, take care of it” - a real collaborative mentality. They faced everyone towards the center of the dining room which I liked, but it was difficult to get out from the table to visit the restroom or avoid bumping the guy to my side at the other table.ģ) Service felt frantic. Sitting down at my table I was about a foot away from the guy sitting at the next table and I can tell you every word of their conversation. There was only one room for dining and it seemed like there was maybe one too many tables in there. What was most disappointing was that when I’m at a restaurant of that caliber, the last thing I should be thinking is “where is the check so I can leave?”Ģ) The ambiance wasn’t there. It was also a ~15 minute wait between them taking our last plates away and us receiving the check that we had to ask for. I realize it can’t always be perfect but when the first few courses are spaced out < 5 minutes apart and then it takes 10-15 minutes before the main, you notice the gap. Don’t get me wrong, the staff was extremely nice and attentive, but there were things that made the visit less than stellar.ġ) Timing of the courses was quite inconsistent or delayed. The service, timing, and ambiance weren’t. We have been to many Michelin starred restaurants all over the world and what separates these restaurants is the service/experience, less so the food.
