Instead, let's download just a little bit of it at a time. ![]() ![]() But that's not a very efficient way to manage your computer's storage space, because movies are big files. One option we'd have would be to download the entire video, and then watch it the regular way - by reading the big file that is now on our computer. Then, our computer could connect to the internet and read the video for our viewing pleasure. The older way of doing this is to have the computer in question read a file that it has saved in its own storage space.īut what if the video file wasn't on the computer? We could put the video file on the internet. Even relatively early PCs were capable of reading digital files and showing us films and TV show episodes. But defining streaming services this way means we'd better answer another question: what is streaming? What is streaming?Ĭomputers can play videos, of course. Let's get started! What is a streaming service?įirst things first: what is a streaming service, anyway? Well, it's a service that streams something, of course: music, games, or - as we're focused on here - video. We'll also link out to our individual streaming service pages, which examine individual services in more depth. In our Streaming Service Buying Guide, we lay out everything you need to know, from the most basic background on what streaming services are and how they work to specific tips on how to determine which streaming services are right for your ultimate cord-cutting setup. What's the best way to watch TV without cable? Which streaming service should you buy? Should you subscribe to more than one? And what is the difference between Sling TV and Netflix, anyway? Of course, with the explosion of streaming services, a new issue has arisen: there are almost too many options! With so many different streaming services - and so many different types of streaming services - it's easy to feel overwhelmed. By using the right streaming services, it's possible for you to watch all of your favorite TV shows, movies, sports, and even live network television channels - all over the internet. Never before has it been so easy to cut the cord without cutting out all of the entertainment that you crave. But it has become a big trend only relatively recently. Cord-cutting has existed for as long as there have been legacy pay TV services (like cable and satellite) to cut. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() But this ranking isn’t about Alabama or Georgia, though those two contenders factor into it. I was there, I heard the “SEC” chants rain down. Yes, I do know the SEC had two teams in the national title game a year ago. It’s going to take an improved showing from Miami and Florida State, the conference’s other two powers, to lift this ranking higher. ![]() But some variation at the top, or at least a legit challenger, helps the perception. There is still top-to-bottom depth in this league, but Clemson’s ownership is notable. In 247Sports’ too early Top 25, only four ACC teams were ranked. Clemson owns the conference – look at how it dominated Miami in the ACC title game – while Louisville and Florida State have taken a step back. The ACC remains strong heading into 2018. ![]() Add in Lamar Jackson’s Heisman, and I don’t think you could’ve argued things any other way. Clemson had just won a national title, Florida State and Louisville were year-long championship contenders and the conference went 8-3 in bowl play. At that time, I would’ve likely declared the conference the best in the country. The peak of ACC football's recent run might’ve been 2016. With all of that said, here’s how 247Sports would rank the 10 FBS football conferences from 10 to one entering 2018. We give you the results, but, like Kirby Hocutt, don’t have to explain every little detail of the ranking. Just think of this as a Conference Power Ranking committee of one. Which criteria are more important than others? That depends on the situation. The number of national title contenders a league can claim in 2018. Top-to-bottom strength of the conference. ![]() So here are a few loose factors that helped dictate these rankings: 1. Florida and Florida State had horrible 2017 seasons, but it isn’t reasonable to expect their programs to swan dive for any extended period – well, unless you’re living in Austin in the post-Colt McCoy era. Of course, history does play a small part. This inquiry can be parsed in a number of ways, but we’re taking it like so: Which conference is the strongest heading into 2018? This eliminates any historical arguments and should chop away any bias created by history outside last year. So of course we at 247Sports are here to break it down for you. Yet, year after year, it’s the most discussed, debated and dissected non-story in the sport. Which conference is the best? It's a simple question. ![]() ![]() ![]() She is freed from a jawbreaker by Loser and Pin. In " Lick Your Way to Freedom", as Four explains the challenge Gaty is shown to be trapped in a Jawbreaker. However, Saw brings back the basket to deem safety for her team. Their next stop is molten lava, where Gaty and Taco both burn off-screen. Taco later leads her team into The World's Largest Oven, where Ice Cube, Lollipop, and Teardrop die. Takes off into The Desert in pursuit of the basket. When naming her team, Gaty and the other members of the team say their names all at once, forming team name. Shortly after, Gaty asks Saw to join her team, bringing along Saw's friends Lollipop and Taco. She then reveals to 8-Ball that her favorite number is three when asked.īook and Ice Cube are the first ones to join Gaty's team after refusing to join Pencil and Match's team. This results in a negative response from Leafy. When Leafy asks her to be friends, Gaty doesn't want to, saying that she "doesn't know much about her yet". She is later seen with Nickel, Cloudy and 8-Ball. Her first appearance is in the pentagon scene of " Getting Teardrop to Talk", where she is seen sitting down, looking at Saw. All of her appearances in the TLC have her idling, which can be seen when some of the characters inside try to break out. ![]() That is not enough to join, so Gaty and the other contestants that failed to join are sent by a giant Sender Scoop Thrower to the TLC. In " Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Gaty gets 54 votes. In " Return of the Hang Glider", Gaty watches the final Cake at Stake of the season. Gaty's first appearance in the series is in " Gardening Hero", as one of the many gaspers. " Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters"." You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?".Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two." The Escape from Four" (does not speak)." Don't Dig Straight Down" (does not speak)." Lick Your Way to Freedom" (does not speak)." Get in the Van" (3rd-anniversary wheel)." Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know" (does not speak coherently)." Gardening Hero" (does not speak coherently).Magnetization: Gaty can magnetize her hinges at will.Yet she expects people to care about what she thinks of them.ĭid You Know?: Without her exquisite paint color, Gaty would be the same color as Cake. Gaty believes that caring about what others think of oneself is shameful. Her favorite number is 3, but 2,147,483,647 is a close second. She holds other characters to a high standard, studying each character's behavior and letting them know what she believes they are doing is wrong. Gaty is a wooden picket fence gate with two hinges made from a neodymium alloy. Similarly, she sighs in relief when her team is declared safe in " You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?". In " The Four is Lava", she's scared of Four eliminating her to the point where she cries in despair. In " What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Gaty is also shown to have no fear of speaking out against others and can be very smug, seeing as she went as far as taunting Four because they couldn't eliminate her.ĭespite showing no fear when taunting others, she acts cowardly once the people she taunts have the chance to do anything back. In " This Episode is About Basketball", she is shown to be somewhat passive-aggressive when she says, "if only there were somebody on our team who specialized in throwing!". This is further shown in " Get to the Top in 500 Steps" when she intervenes between Book and Lollipop and sternly tells them they have no time to be arguing. She is also shown to be quite irritable, as when Saw gets affected by the Twinkle of Contagion from Earth in " Four Goes Too Far", she immediately calls out Saw for looking at Earth. Gaty can be quite critical towards some people, such as Flower in " Fortunate Ben" when she calls her idiotic. Despite this, Gaty holds herself to the same standards and is not scared to admit her mistakes. Gaty is a voice of reason, though her reason often leads her to criticize others. Gaty wearing a bracelet ( TPOT 4) Personality Gaty's asset has slightly changed, as her top triangular bits are morphed slightly to the bottom left-ish.Gaty's top part of the top board is designed.Gaty has 2 boards on her top and bottom.Her central picket is a light lavender, her outer pickets are periwinkle, and her hinges are a golden color.

Then, the jokes about Babadook's gay identity spread with such fervor they were covered by Mashable and Teen Vogue (examples shown below). The meme drew its most attention when June, LGBT Pride Month, began. On February 15th, 2017, Twitter user uploaded screenshots of such dialogue, gaining over 5,000 retweets (shown below). The idea continued to spread throughout Tumblr as ironic, trolling discourse. The post gained over 126,000 notes, and likely launched the idea that The Babadook was a gay character and icon. On December 10th, 2016, Tumblr user Taco-bell-rey uploaded a screenshot of The Babadook appearing in the LGBT section of Netflix. In early 2017, a joke that The Babadook was gay began spreading through Tumblr and eventually Twitter. Her tweet gained over 76,000 retweets and 146,000 likes and was covered by New York Magazine. One notable instance of Babadook fandom was posted to Twitter on June 30th, 2016, when writer Katie Dippold tweeted about a Halloween party she attended dressed as the Babadook only to discover it wasn't a costume party (shown below). There is also a large amount of fan art on DeviantArt devoted to The Babadook. On Facebook, The Babadook has over 160,000 likes. Fandomįan reception to the film has been strong as well. Critics praised the film's moving story and commitment to horror without jump scares, as well as the performances from the two leads. The film was very positively reviewed, with a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 86 rating on Metacritic. However, following positive critical reception, it was able to grow to a massive success. It initially opened in only 3 theaters in the United States. ![]() It premiered in January of 2014 at the Sundance Film Festival and had a limited run in Australia that year, premiering in just 13 theaters. A Victorian terrace house was built specifically for the film. It was shot in Adelaide, Australia and interior shots were mostly filmed in a soundstage. The film was Kent's first full-length film and was produced on a budget of $2.5 million. As the story unfolds, Amelia grows increasingly manic as she is unable to tell what is real and what isn't, and is perhaps becoming infested with the Babadook. Amelia is disturbed by the graphic story and Samuel becomes convinced the monster is real. The book tells the story of Mister Babadook, a tall man in black with a top hat who, once let in, cannot be eradicated until he kills the host. One night, they read a pop-up book called The Babadook, which has mysteriously appeared in their house. The child, Samuel, is difficult, and the mother, Amelia, is exhausted with the behavior of her son. The Babadook centers around a mother and child living in the aftermath of the father's death, which occurred when he was driving the mother to the hospital as she was in labor. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Most often, the implementation of martial law arises from necessity rather than legal right, and while some countries have provisions explicitly permitting the use of martial law, many do not. References to martial law date back to 1628 England, when a man named Lord Hale described martial law as, “no Law, but something indulged rather than allowed as a Law.” Despite being centuries old, this quote remains true in many countries around the world today. Overviewĭespite the fact that it has been declared frequently throughout history, martial law is still often described as largely elusive as a legal entity. Alternatively, martial law may be declared in instances of military coup d'états. Most often, martial law is declared in times of war and/or emergencies such as civil unrest and natural disasters. Martial law can continue for a specified amount of time, or indefinitely, and standard civil liberties may be suspended for as long as martial law continues. "His statement proves that he is the mastermind of May 9 events," the premier said in a statement, criticising Khan's "baseless" allegations against a senior army official for planning to have him assassinated.Martial law is the substitution of military rule for civilian government and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers. In response to Khan's fresh salvo against the army chief, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the PTI chairman's latest statement against Gen Munir depicted his "cheap mentality" towards the armed forces, reported Geo News. The unrest in the country has come to a halt for now as the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has provided blanket relief to Khan and barred authorities from arresting the PTI chief till Monday morning (May 15), after which, the government said it could arrest him, "if need be". The ISPR called the PTI leaders "hypocrites" for inciting their workers against the armed forces on the one hand, and praising the military - in a bid to overshadow their criticism - on the other. The law enforcement agencies then began a crackdown on PTI, arresting scores of workers and top leaders.Īfter the supporters attacked army installations, the ISPR said that - the day when chaos gripped the nation following Khan's arrest - would go down in history as a "dark chapter," reported Geo News. Violent protests took place following Khan's arrest, in which nearly a dozen people were killed and several injured. Neither anyone has resigned nor disobeyed any order," the army's spokesperson added. "The dreams of creating division within the army will remain dreams. "Despite all-out efforts of internal miscreants and external enemies, the army remains united under Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir," Maj Gen Chaudhry said. In response to the reports which were circulating that army officers have resigned due to the ongoing chaos, the spokesperson snubbed these speculations as well. He criticised the military while his supporters raised the stakes by attacking military targets - torching the residence of the corps commander in Lahore and attacking the entrance to the army's headquarters in Rawalpindi, reported Geo News. "I am not against the institution but today the Pakistan Army is getting maligned because of one man - The Pakistan Army Chief," said Imran. Meanwhile, in a video, Imran launched a direct attack on Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir and blamed him for creating chaos in the country. Read Here | Bilawal Bhutto apprehensive of martial law in Pakistan: Report There are reports coming in from Pakistan that several Brigadier, Colonel and Major level officers of the Pakistan Army have been sacked because they refused to open fire at PTI protestors and Imran Khan supporters. "The army chief and the army's senior leadership completely believe in democracy," the military's top spokesperson said. This comes after an almost four-day political turmoil erupted due to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan's arrest, in which army's installations were also targeted, reported Geo News. The imposition of martial law is out of the question," said Chaudhry. "I want to say very clearly that General Asim Munir and the army's leadership wholeheartedly support democracy and will continue to do so. Amid reports of disunity among the ranks of the Pakistan army, Inter-Services Public Relations Director General Maj-Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry on Friday refuted allegations of imposition of martial law in the country, reported Geo News. ![]() ![]() ![]() node c:\Drone\video.js Go to your web browser (any one will work) and go to the following website (you can just copy/paste it): You will now be getting a stream of the video that your drone is viewing through the front camera! You can see a picture of what mine was viewing along with some of my bookmarks :) CONGRATS! You are now set to begin doing some awesome stuff with you drone. after(5000, function() ) Now run this program by typing the following line into the command line window that opened when you ran ffmpeg. down(speed) - makes the drone reduce altitude clockwise(speed) - drone spins clockwise counterClockwise(speed) - drone spins counter-clockwise front(speed)/back(speed) - changes the pitch causing horizontal movement left(speed)/right(speed) - changes the roll causing horizontal movement stop() - keeps the drone hovering in place (for complex functions like flips and manuevers, check out the README file linked above) All of these functions can be used in a long list with a dedicated time between them by using the format: client. takeoff() - has the drone takeoff and hover above the ground land() - has the drone land up(speed) - has the drone gain altitude at a speed between 1 (max speed) and 0 (still). You should also check out Felixge's README file that was included with the ar-drone library as it has tons of beneficial information. Below I show the name and describe what they do. To write more complicated programs you will just have to know a few functions that the drone is capable of. Now you have everything you need to autonomously fly your drone. Check the next step on how to run this program. This will have the drone takeoff, hover for a few seconds, and then land. Then when saving the program make sure to save the file with '.js' at the end of the name and it will automatically become a JavaScript file! For now copy my simple program in the picture and save it as 'test.js'. Just download it and then upon opening it will open a new file we will type all the lines of our code directly into Sublime Text, as shown in the picture for this step. We will need a text editor to write our code in, I recommend Sublime Text. ![]() If you are interested you can read up on it HERE. Don't fear if you don't know JavaScript we will mostly be using the same cut and paste commands. To do this we will need to write programs in JavaScript. This is a huge advantage over what we just did because rather than typing the code line by line we can send a whole program to the drone and it will execute it sequentially for some flawless and exciting flight. Now the exciting part! We will make some autonomous programs for the drone. As long as Terminal doesn't throw any errors you are all set to start controlling the drone with your computer! For help using Terminal check this resource. Once open type the following line of code and hit enter: sudo npm install ar-drone This will give you access to Felixge’s node.js library so that you can use high level commands such as 'takeoff()' and 'leftFlip' to control the drone. Then just click on the program called Terminal. The easiest way to open it is to click in the Spotlight search bar in the upper right hand of your desktop screen and type 'Terminal'. FOR MAC: The command line program on a mac is called Terminal. As long as the Command Prompt doesn't throw any errors you are all set to start controlling the drone with your computer! For help using the Command Prompt check this resource. ![]() Once you have the program open type the following line of code and then hit enter: npm install ar-drone This will give you access to Felixge’s node.js library so that you can use high level commands such as 'takeoff()' and 'leftFlip' to control the drone.

Follow the instructions for your type of computer. This is a great showcase of how real-time custom AI can run on edge devices, such as a drone.Now we will do a bit of work with the command line. The drone is then able to fly around and send an alert to Azure IoT Hub every time it successfully identifies an animal. These containers were then deployed to Azure IoT Edge and then pushed to a drone running a custom board and a Nvidia GPU. We then pushed the images into Custom Vision service and trained a model to identify each type of animal in the field.įrom there we exported the trained model into TensorFlow format and pushed it into Docker containers. We then created a Python script to fly the drone around the simulated environment and take many pictures of the animals. For this search and rescue scenario, we created a 3D-generated environment in AirSim to simulate the soccer field on Microsoft campus and placed stuffed animals on the field. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks to our high quality standards, your printer's warranty will not be affected and full compatibility is guaranteed.
