Drop the font file in the Terminal window and hit return. Open the Terminal and type ttx if you are on Mac OS and have fonttools installed. Just generate a otf or ttf with the font editor of your choice. To do so I used the very helpful fonttools by Just van Rossum. You can also modify the svg table of a compiled font or insert your own if it does not have any yet. Print "Done with the Devision" For RoboChrome you will need to split your glyph into several. You will need a separate version of your base-glyph for every color, which can also be done with a scipt if you have all of your outlines in layers. In case you don’t want to use TransType you might have a look at the very powerful RoboFont extension by Jens Kutílek called RoboChrome. The preview of your colorfont in TransType. You will get a folder with all colorfont versions. Select the newly added font in the collection and export it as OpenType (ttf). You get a preview window where you can assign a rgba value for each ufo and then hit OK. In the Effect menu click ‘Overlay Fonts …’. Just drop your ufos in the main window and select the ones you want to combine. Once I had all my separate ufos I loaded them into TransType from FontLab. NewFont.save(destDir = path +"_%s" % layer +".ufo") I used a little python script to safe them in the same place as the main file: f = CurrentFont() When you are done drawing your outlines you will need to safe a ufo for every layer / color. The outlines of the separate layers and their combination Define the colors you want to see in the Layer Preview Adjust the colors to your liking in the Inspector since they are used for the preview. You can also just increase the size of the thumbnails in the font window. With the very handy Layer Preview extension you can preview all Layers overlapping. Either draw in the separate layers right away or just copy the outlines into the respective layer after you’ve drawn them in the foreground layer. In a new font I added as many new layers as the amount of colors I wanted to have in the final font. RoboFont is the editor of my choice, since it is highly customizable and you can build your own extensions with python. There are several options like RoboFont and Glyphs (both Mac only), FontLab and the free FontForge. In order to make your own you will need a font editor. There might be other ways but this is how I managed to build colorful OpenType fonts. I am not a font technician or a web developer just very curious about this new developments. The possibility to animate the svgs is an interesting addition and will surely be used in interesting (and very annoying) ways. With the development of high resolution screens vectors also seem to be a better solution than pixels. Of course this depends on the complexity of your typeface but svgs should usually result in a smaller file size than pngs. The basic idea is to store the colored glyphs as svgs in the OpenType font. Upon its proposal it was discussed by a W3C community group and published as a stable document. To me the Adobe/Mozilla way looks the most intriguing. Adam Twardoch compares all proposed solutions in great detail on the FontLab blog. As of this writing there are several different ways to implement this. It took some emojis until the demand for multi-colored fonts was big enough to develop additional tables to store this information within OpenType fonts. Multiplying does not sound like an elegant solution and it is a constant source of errors. Analog to letterpress the content needs to be doubled and superimposed to have more than one color per glyph. There can be several outlines in a glyph but when the font is used to set type the assigned color applies to all outlines. Simulation of two overprinting colors resulting in a third.ĭigital font formats kept the limitation to one ‘surface’ per glyph. Using overprinting the impression of three colors can be achieved with just two colors. This has been done beautifully and pictures of some magnificent examples are available online. More than one color per letter required separate fonts for the differently colored parts and a new print run for every color. When printing with wood or lead type the limitation to one color per glyph is inherent (if you don’t count random gradients). Like it happened with many other techniques before, it took some time for digital type to overcome the constraints of the old technique. Getting a polychrome letter required multiplying the content for every color. Until recently having more than one color in a glyph of a vector font was technically not possible. This means that the barrels and eyepieces are in line with each other. The roof prism is more compact, and they are more closely aligned. Roof Prism – Roof prisms use an Abbe-Koenig prism or Schmidt-Pechan prism instead of two Porro prisms. This means that the barrels are offset from the eyepiece. The major identifying factor about Porro prisms is the fact that they are offset. They rotate the images that pass through them, which allows your eyes to perceive the image in the correct orientation. Porro Prism – Porro prisms are two geometric prisms located inside the barrels of your binoculars. The objective lens’ main job is to collect light, which is why it is sometimes called the collecting lens. It sits at the opposite end of the barrel to the eyepiece. It houses the hinge and the focus wheel.Ĭollecting/Objective lens – The objective lens is the final lens of the binoculars. This just means that it lets you adjust the distance between the barrels to suit your eyes.īarrel bridge – This is also found between the two barrels. It is found between the barrels, and it allows for interpupillary adjustment. Hinge – As you’d expect, the hinge is a hinge. The lens furthest from the eye is called the field lens, while the one closest to the eye is called the ocular lens. Eyepieces contain at least 3 more lenses. As you may have guessed, these are the two long tubes that make up the main part of the binoculars.Įyepiece – The eyepieces sit on one end of the barrels, the end closest to your eyes. It wouldn’t do to start fiddling with the wrong parts.īarrel – Binoculars have two barrels. There are a surprising number of different parts in binoculars. Key Terminologyīefore we dive into the instructions, we need to clarify some terms. You should only try it yourself if the cost of professional repair is more than the cost of replacing the binoculars. If you use cheaper binoculars, you can attempt to collimate them yourself. This is because you don’t want to risk breaking them and having to fork out for a new pair. If you attempt to collimate them on your own, you will void the warranty.Įxpensive binoculars without a warranty are best taken to a professional for repair and collimation. If your binoculars are still under warranty, you should take them back to the retailer. When you start doing your own adjustments, you run the risk of making things worse. Small knocks or drops can wreak havoc on the precisely positioned pieces. However, we would like to make it clear that you do so at your own risk.īinoculars can be expensive and the parts within them are fiddly and fragile. This guide will walk you through the process of collimating your binoculars. Binoculars that are out of collimation will give you a blurred or double image. To collimate your binoculars means to align the prisms within each tube so that you see one clear image. Here’s hoping Zeke pulls through and continues his righteous campaign against pineapple on pizza. Kudos to Carol for effectively absolving his guilt with a great line: “Lesser men have been given more and done nothing with it.” She has made a lot of questionable choices, but this was an ace move. Speaking of survival odds, Zeke is about to get surgery on his tumor, despite a moment of outrage over jumping the queue. Or, given his track record on that front, Max’s odds of survival may have plummeted. “Obviously,” he replies), and soon it looks like Eugene might finally find a little happiness. Their nerdy banter is pretty adorable (“Was a sepulchre involved?” she asks of his novel. Rosita’s forgiveness for his past sins inspires Eugene to give and seek the same from Max. That deception was more than emotional betrayal it could have ended with all of them dead. The comfort of an old friend awakens some perspective in Eugene, who remembers a time when he himself played the role of con man - telling Rosita and the Sarge he was a scientist en route to Washington just to avoid life on his own. She says two things of note: Her new gig as a cop is “a lot” (yet somehow she always looks like she’s fresh out of the Commonwealth’s spa), and that when A-town is fixed up, it will be worth considering moving back (which seems a lot easier said than done). Luckily he’s got a real friend in Rosita, who lends a shoulder to cry on. For a second there, it seemed like he might stand up from that lakeside bench and take a permanent dip in the water. It’s a crushing gut punch for Eugene, who runs away as Max looks after him with great bespectacled concern. This decision makes sense as a self-protection move, but it’s still really weird - Max was ready to risk everything to meet her mystery man, then watches as he’s duped by someone who must have intercepted his calls.

Shattered after learning he’d been duped, Eugene struggles to find a path forward after this crushing disappointment, which cements his status as the Charlie Brown of the new world - always one tug of the football away from landing flat on his back. A zombie apocalypse might not seem like the ideal setting for personal reflection and soul searching, but Eugene and Maggie find themselves facing some serious introspection thanks to recent developments. If you have a need to change your MAC Address then I can highly recommend this software. Also there is an absolutely critical “read me” file in the Paid version that you must not ignore. On one hand this is a good thing, but on the other hand it is a bit confusing for the first few moments of the Paid version as you are trying to use buttons you had to use in the Trial but not in the Paid. Now, foremost we are going to change the Ethernet (Wired Medium) adapter’s MAC address. Step 2: Select the Device Manager option. One side note - again the Trial version does not work exactly like the Paid version - very similar but some steps are made easier in the Paid version. Step 1: Right-Click on the Windows Start button which is located on the bottom-left corner of your screen. Tested again and again in a situation where changing the MAC Address was critical - worked every time, and flawlessly. If you have reasons why you would need to change your MAC Address, this thing is superb for that purpose. They sent me that in an email after I wrote to their support dept when I was having endless install problems.Īnyway, now that the installation problems are solved (took two hours) I do have to say that this little piece of software is like magic. The developer needs to post HERE on the App Store that you need to throw away the Trial Version to install the Paid version. Had quite a few problems with installation (but eventually succeeded). It is very easy to spoof your Mac WiFi address: Using terminal: sudo ifconfig en0 ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff Notes: en0 is my current wifi interface, to find yours: Option + Click on WiFi >. Loved the trial version, went to buy it here on the App Store for my Mac Book Air running High Sierra. In my opinion, the king of games to play during this time for a jumper is basketball. Off-season track athletes not in a fall or winter sports should play games as much as possible, says Click To Tweet Each of these activities incorporates multi-directional movement, change of direction, and “organic” plyometrics, which enhance robustness. Some options are basketball, flag/touch football, ultimate Frisbee, handball, and trashball. I think the only reason I ended up with a smidge of athletic ability is because I played pickup games of any sport imaginable as often as possible. State champions can come from different backgrounds in sport, and testing speed and jumping ability can help decipher “who” should do what. Coaches need to know the difference between power jumpers and speed jumpers and train accordingly. Give full rest between reps (~1 minute for every 10-meter run) so each rep signifies your maximum capability. Keep the total volume between 100 and 120 meters. Get creative with your starting position (kneeling, prone/supine, 2/3/4 point, facing different directions, etc.), and spike up if possible.Ī simple system would be to start with sprints of 10 meters and increase 5 meters per week, capping out at 40 meters. I advise sprinting two times per week on nonconsecutive days. I could write another article about these two points, but the emphasis here is that speed must be a year-round priority for horizontal and vertical jumpers. Faster and fresh athletes jump further.I have two general tenets I follow in-season: It is valuable for an athlete to learn how to thrive in various environments. Different coaches have different sets of rules and expectations. It is beneficial for athletes to be coached by other people.If you do not think adaptability is an important skill for a jumper, ponder this: We expect the jumper to take off from the same spot every attempt, but no approach is EVER the same from start to finish. The greater a jumper’s athleticism, the more adaptable the jumper. This gives them greater resources to draw from when faced with a task. The coordinative pool of a young athlete should be broad and shallow, not narrow and deep.Studies indicate higher injury rates for athletes who participate in one sport. It is healthy for athletes with a young training age to get exposure to a wide variety of activities.Here are some other advantages for a jumper involved in multiple sports: Any fall or winter program that prioritizes (or makes exceptions for) developing explosive athletes is a welcoming home for a track and field jumper. Many coaches would scoff at this idea, but the way some field/court coaches run their sports is not all that different from cross-country training. The greater a jumper’s athleticism, the more adaptable the jumper, says Click To Tweet I would even say that cross country could be an option if the coach runs a progressive program and is willing to train the athlete like a sprinter. Football, soccer, volleyball, and basketball all translate very well to the off-season work needed for jumpers. I would be a hypocrite if I did not note that track and field jumpers should participate in other school sports. Therefore, the focus here is to provide options that high school jumpers can complete on their own. At the high school level, however, this is often not an option in the off-season due to conditions set by governing bodies. In a perfect scenario, the degree to which each of the qualities is addressed would be individualized with a coach monitoring progress and adjusting programming as needed. This, along with the addition of progressive variation as time goes on, will lead to a more robust athlete when the season starts. The off-season is also an ideal time to enhance work capacity. Qualities that address this objective are increased speed, strength, elasticity, and coordination. Programming for any athlete involved in a power sport should revolve around improving their ability to move faster by applying greater force in less time. A colleague recently asked me what would be the ideal off-season program for high school jumpers (long/triple/high). There aren’t any technical errors that I noticed in the art, but it seems merely functional. The artwork also seems to fit to an animated cartoon template, with blocky, simply-delineated figures against minimal backgrounds. As a result, not much actually happens over the course of the twelve pages: this is manga pacing without the space needed to make it work. I assume that the French animated cartoon adopts an anime style, as the fight scenes contain a lot of striking of poses and shouting of random nouns. The story is rather confusingly told, and no-one has any identifiable characterisation. The plot involves the Alpha Teens protecting an old enemy, now in prison, from a group of ninjas who are killing members of his old covert operations unit, to which the father of one of the teens also belonged. The toys, by the way, are unrelated except by name and manufacturer to the Action Man military dress-up dolls of my youth (this was the brand name in the UK of the US GI Joe dolls, themselves long since replaced). The final battle between the Alpha Teens and the Serpent's Tale occurs and Lioness and Axel share their first kiss.Action Man ATOM Alpha Teens On Machines issue 23 “Deadly Shadows!” by Ed Caruana (script and editor), Jack Lawrence (pencils and inks), Jason Cardy & Kat Nicholson (colours) and Alex Foot (lettering), Panini Magazines,, 12 pages of strip (out of 36), £1.99Īll I knew about this comic, when I picked it up out of a desire to see what was available by way of adventure comics in the UK these days other than 2000AD and superhero reprints, was that it was based on a line of toys by way of a French animated cartoon. Hawk goes up against a cyborg version of him self designed by the Serpent's Tale to eliminate the team. Madia, a new girl who Shark has a crush on joins the team as they face an all new more powrful enemy from her past named the Phantom Ryder with the ability to absorb souls, but the team soon discover that he was responsible for the death of Madia's older sister. Meanwhile, Guan is almost assassinated twice and it turns out that during a battle between the Alpha Teens and the Serpent's Tale, Guan's new weapon causes Axel to lose his memory and the rest of the team to get teleported to Guan's new base, which is halfway between the surface and the planet's core and all this causes Dragon to believe that the team are dead and it is revealed that he is the one trying to assassinate Guan. Following that he formed the Serpent's Tale as a means to dominate the world.Īxel losess his memories of the last 24hours and tries to find the rest of the team. Lee reveals that when the Serpent's Tale confronted him to work for them, it wasn't the first time that he confronted Guan as he revealed that years before Guan formed the Serpent's Tale he and Lee where friends and worked together to create a better future by after a horrible accident where his wife was murdered, Guan turned to a dark master named Snake who placed the spirit of the serpent inside him which caused Guan to lose his memory and become evil. Garret finds a way to re-open Guan's portal and when the team enter it they find that it is a portal to the past the day that Axel was born and find that Guan attempts to kill Axel's mother before she gives birth.

There is no entertainment value to be found here. As the blood moves closer to the heart, the veins get larger and larger. The blood travels from the capillaries into the venules, which are the smallest veins. The blood moves back to the heart through veins. The cornea of the eye is one area that has no capillaries. Skeletal muscle, the liver, and the kidney all have a large number of capillaries because their body systems need a lot of oxygen and nutrients. The number of capillaries in a body system depends on the amount of material exchange. The capillaries connect the arteries, which take blood from the heart, and the veins, which take blood to the heart. The smallest arteries are the arterioles, which move blood from the muscular arteries to the capillaries. The femoral and coronary arteries are two examples of muscular arteries. They’re made of smooth muscle, which can expand and contract as blood flows. The muscular arteries move blood from the elastic arteries through the body. They’re the only arteries that carry deoxygenated blood. Pulmonary arteries take deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The aorta is the body’s most important artery. They receive blood directly from the heart and need to be elastic to accommodate the surge and contraction as blood pushes through with each heartbeat. The aorta and pulmonary arteries are the elastic arteries. They get smaller and smaller the further they are from the heart. It’s made up of smooth muscle that changes the size of the artery to regulate blood flow. The middle layer is usually the thickest. The artery walls have three layers: tunica intima (inner), tunica media (middle), and tunica externa (outer). Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Other units include 1 kPas = 1,000 Pas (kilo-Pas), 1 MPas = 1,000,000 Pas (mega-Pas). The unit for shear viscosity is 1 Pas = 1000 mPas (pascal seconds, milli-pascal-seconds). For calculations, please note: The units for density are kg/m 3 and g/cm 3, where 1000 kg/m 3 = 1 g/cm 3. The unit for kinematic viscosity is m 2/s = 10 6 mm 2/s. The ratio of 1:1000 can be illustrated with the following figure: The molecules are fish, each of them 10 cm (0.1 m) long, whereas the particles are ships with a length of 100 m (Figure 1.3).Īnother type of viscosity is the kinematic viscosity $\nu$ (pronounced: nu).ĭefinition: $\nu$ = $\eta$ / $\rho$ with shear viscosity η (in Pas) and density ρ (in kg/m 3). This means that the size ratio between molecules and particles is in the range from 1:100 to 1:10,000 (Figure 1.2). One nanometer (1 nm) equals 10-9 m one micrometer (1 µm) is equal to 10-6 m. 50 nm (coiled ball diameter at rest), and mineral particles approx. Molecules in fluids come in different sizes: solvent molecules approx. Why do different substances have different viscosities? Larger components present in a fluid are the reason for higher viscosity values. They develop a flow resistance caused by internal friction. When put into motion, molecules and particles are forced to slide along each other. Rheometry is the measuring technology used to determine rheological properties.Īll liquids are composed of molecules dispersions also contain some significantly larger particles. The term “rhei” indicates that the content of the bottle is liquid.). Exhibited in the German Apotheken-Museum, Heidelberg. The term originates from the Greek word “rhei” meaning “to flow” (Figure 1.1: Bottle from the 19th century bearing the inscription “Tinct(ur) Rhei Vin(um) Darel”. Rheologists describe the deformation and flow behavior of all kinds of material. Fluids that behave in this way are called Newtonian fluids in honour of Sir Isaac Newton, who first formulated this mathematical description of viscosity.Rheology is a branch of physics. This constant is called the dynamic, or absolute, viscosity and often simply the viscosity. In other words, the shear stress divided by the rate of shear strain is constant for a given fluid at a fixed temperature. It controls the liquid flow in such processes as spraying, injection molding, and surface coating.įor many fluids the tangential, or shearing, stress that causes flow is directly proportional to the rate of shear strain, or rate of deformation, that results. Viscosity is a major factor in determining the forces that must be overcome when fluids are used in lubrication and transported in pipelines. Because part of a fluid that is forced to move carries along to some extent adjacent parts, viscosity may be thought of as internal friction between the molecules such friction opposes the development of velocity differences within a fluid. Molasses, for example, has a greater viscosity than water. The reciprocal of the viscosity is called the fluidity, a measure of the ease of flow. Viscosity, resistance of a fluid (liquid or gas) to a change in shape, or movement of neighbouring portions relative to one another. Thus, upon heating, liquids flow more easily, whereas gases flow more sluggishly. The viscosity of liquids decreases rapidly with an increase in temperature, and the viscosity of gases increases with an increase in temperature.
