Though it may not be traditionally thought of as a redfish destination the island is home to some whopper reds, and with so many little cutouts, flats, and grassy tidal feeding grounds it’s a great place to find a big red. Matagorda is a 23-mile-long barrier island not far from Corpus Christi, Texas. Mobile Bay is very large - 31 miles long and 24 miles wide - so you’ll have plenty of room to cast a line. The prime time to fish here is the spring, and since the abundant shrimp in the bay are a primary food source for reds they also make great bait. Also, concentrate on the rivers that surround the bay - Dog River, Fowl River, and the aptly named Fish River. You’ll catch fish around docks as well as in shallower water that’s tucked away from inclement weather. The backwaters here are teeming with fish and there are plenty of secluded waterways with ideal redfish habitat. And the bay doesn’t get enough credit as a great redfish destination. I have a special place in my heart for Mobile Bay because it’s where I caught my first redfish. If your family is planning to vacation in Daytona, Ponce Inlet, or even Orlando it’s worth taking at least one day to try catching some reds in the lagoon. The protected, clear waters of the lagoon are also a great place to do some sight fishing, and if you are interested in catching a big red on a fly this spot is a great option because you’ll be able to see the fish tailing and moving in the clear, shallow, protected waters. The big draw to this area is that you can find reds on the grassy flats year-round, and while tactics and locations may change throughout the year there’s a good chance that regardless of the season you’ll have luck catching red drum here. There is also no end to the redfish season in Florida. Mosquito Lagoon is located near Titusville, Florida and it is one of the absolute best redfish destinations in the country. These rich waters are a great place to catch your Inshore Slam - flounder, black drum, speckled trout, and red drum - all in a single day. The Outer Banks region is also home to plenty of shallow channels and lagoons where inshore fishing opportunities abound. The Outer Banks is home to some really huge reds and the area consistently produces record-class fish. The areas where you find low tide flats and high tide grass in close proximity are likely to hold lots of reds. They are usually oyster beds that allow the fish access to grass beds where they will feed at high tide. You’ll want to concentrate on finding the flats where reds congregate at low tide. The waters around Hilton Head are a great place to add to your fishing itinerary. But where should you concentrate your efforts? Here are six great redfish destinations where the action is red-hot: Hilton Head Harbor/Fripp Island, South Carolinaįishing for big reds is a Lowcountry tradition.

Start by finding and saving your desired image to your computer. Not only does it allow you to easily drop in images and move them around without any weird bounding boxes or formatting restrictions, but it also has a tool built into the program to remove backgrounds in just a few clicks. PowerPoint has amazing photo capabilities for the everyday user. I’m going to break down both methods below so that you too can get great results when removing backgrounds from future images! Method 1: Removing Backgrounds from Images with PowerPoint In all my trial and error, I’ve found two tried and true methods for easily removing backgrounds from images: PowerPoint and Canva. I’ve played with lots of different programs to take the background out of images because it’s something I do quite often. With a transparent background, you can layer images over any color or any other object and be able to see the background (below right). Therefore, when you lay it over a colored background or other images, you will still see the white box around it (below left). If the background of an image is a solid color (or has any other design to it), it doesn’t have a transparent background. Most times though, the image will be a JPEG with a solid white background (shown below left). Sometimes you will be able to find images with a transparent background already and you’ll know it because the area surrounding the image has a pattern of small grey squares around it (below right). Today, I want to show you how to remove backgrounds from images using…PowerPoint!īefore I dive into the tutorial, let’s just quickly review what I mean when I say “transparent background.” If you were to search for and save an image for use on a design board or other project, you will likely come across several different file formats. You might think you need fancy computer software or graphic design skills to give images a transparent background, but I have a super simple way of doing it that I’ve been using for years. Not only does it make assembling those fancy design boards pretty simple, but this trick is also helpful if you are needing to make party invitations, flyers, decor, cut files etc. In the Print dialog, set the actual paper size you're using (A3?).Whether you are a blogger or not, being able to remove the backgrounds of images is a pretty handy skill. If you're in Publisher (as this thread is about), that will probably be the Spread size set in the Spread Manager. You should set your document size to the final output size you want (A1). I think this should work (but I haven't tried it): This works perfectly in PagePlus, but I really don't want to, and shouldn't have to, start again and recreate my poster in PagePlus. I've scaled up my document by 275%, (which is what I needed to do in PagePlus), I've set paper size to A3 and model to Tiled, but it just will not print in the scaled up size. Unfortuantely, the inbuilt help only mentions that yo can print tiled, but not how. I've found the the tiled printing settings, but it doesn't matter waht I do, it still prints as A4 size on A3 paper. I used to be able to do this very easily in PagePlus X9, but it doesn t seem to work in Affinity Publisher. I'm trying to print an A4 poster, scaled up to A1. Remember, we’re talking about the patient’s exhaled CO2. It can also help determine the effectiveness of the chest compressions I’m doing if the heart fails.īefore we get into these numbers, let’s take a quick look at a capnography waveform and define the parts in the waveform. However, in ACLS and in a cardiac arrest, I’m using end-tidal not necessarily for the pulmonary or respiratory status but to look at the function of the pump, the function of the heart. I can look at those numbers and adjust my ventilator accordingly to keep them within a normal range. Remember, a normal end-tidal is between 35 and 45. I’m using it for respiratory and pulmonary status. Usually in the field, I’m using end-tidal to tweak my ventilator. Remember, the cells are going to use this oxygen, create the CO2, but I still have to have adequate cardiac output, a working pump, to pump that CO2 all the way back to the lungs so it can be exhaled and measured. This is exactly what we’re using end-tidal CO2 for in ACLS. By evaluating the exhaust, they can see if there’s a problem with the motor. If you get a notice from your emissions center like I just got, I’m going to take my van in and have the emissions center check my exhaust. The motor uses the gas and then kicks out exhaust. I kind of think of it like the exhaust in a car. What is end-tidal capnography? It’s a quantitative measurement of a patient’s exhaled CO2, which is the byproduct of cellular metabolism. In today’s video presentation, we’re going to talk about end-tidal capnography-how we use it in ACLS and especially during a cardiac arrest. I’m Mark from ACLS Certification Institute. There are four types of transformations of functions or graphs: Reflection, Rotation, Translation and Dilation. For example, the reflection of the function y f ( x) can be written as y f ( x) or y f ( x) or even y f ( x). Use the information below to generate a citation. To graph a sine function, we first determine the amplitude (the maximum point on the graph), the period (the distance/. The reflection of a function can be over the x-axis or y-axis, or even both axes. Then you must include on every digital page view the following attribution: If you are redistributing all or part of this book in a digital format, Then you must include on every physical page the following attribution: If you are redistributing all or part of this book in a print format, For example, if we begin by graphing the. When we multiply the input by 1, we get a reflection about the y -axis. When we multiply the parent function f (x) bx f ( x) b x by 1, we get a reflection about the x -axis. Changes were made to the original material, including updates to art, structure, and other content updates. In addition to shifting, compressing, and stretching a graph, we can also reflect it about the x -axis or the y -axis. The parabola is translated (c,d) units, b reflects across y, but this just reflects it across the axis of symmetry, so. So you may see a form such as ya(bx-c)2 + d. Another transformation that can be applied to a function is a reflection over the x or y-axis. Adding parameters to this function shows both scaling, reflecting, and translating this function from the original without graphing. Graph functions using reflections about the x-axis and. Want to cite, share, or modify this book? This book uses theĪnd you must attribute Texas Education Agency (TEA). Start from a parent quadratic function y x2. To do this, we separate projectile motion into the two components of its motion, one along the horizontal axis and the other along the vertical. A vertical reflection reflects a graph vertically across the x. Since vertical and horizontal motions are independent, we can analyze them separately, along perpendicular axes. As you can see in diagram 1 below, triangle ABC is reflected over the y-axis to its image triangle ABC. function is a reflection over the x or y-axis. if k > 0, the graph translates upward k units. Vertical Shift: This translation is a 'slide' straight up or down. Keep in mind that if the cannon launched the ball with any vertical component to the velocity, the vertical displacements would not line up perfectly. reflection of the function y x3 x2 horizontally across the y-axis (F) y x2(x + 1) (G) y x2(1 x) (H) y x2(x + 1) (J) y x2(x1) (K) y x2(1 x). Translations of Functions: f (x) + k and f (x + k) Translation vertically (upward or downward) f (x) + k translates f (x) up or down. You can see that the cannonball in free fall falls at the same rate as the cannonball in projectile motion. Figure 5.27 compares a cannonball in free fall (in blue) to a cannonball launched horizontally in projectile motion (in red). The most important concept in projectile motion is that when air resistance is ignored, horizontal and vertical motions are independent, meaning that they don’t influence one another. Ask students to guess what the motion of a projectile might depend on? Is the initial velocity important? Is the angle important? How will these things affect its height and the distance it covers? Introduce the concept of air resistance. We use the description provided to find \(a, b, c,\) and \(d\).Review addition of vectors graphically and analytically. Also includes views of a wildlife viewing area across Beaver. The remains of several cabins can been seen where they were deposited up river from where they were originally built. This section of the Madison River is truly beautiful and it defines the allure of SW Montana with the jagged Madison Range to the East and rolling Tobacco Roots to the west. The hike includes views from above the upper point of Earthquake Lake, where people took refuge from rising water caused by a massive rockslide that damned the river, caused by a 7.3 Mag earthquake on August 17, 1959. The hardest part about fishing from the drift boat though is forgetting to take a break to admire your surroundings because the buckets keep coming one after the other. This is why we consider the Madison River to be best fished from a drift boat. This can make wade fishing quite difficult thanks to the abundance football sized boulders found in the river. The Henry’s Lake Mountains, sometimes called the Lionhead Mountains, are located at the far eastern edge of the Idaho/Montana border, just west of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.They form the southern end of the Madison Range and they are nestled in a highly mountainous area of the Greater Yellowstone Rockies. Buckets and runs can exist anywhere along the river and are not confined to just the banks. Our trout love to hang around these for a break from the current and a great place to feed. Larger sized boulders will have a plunge pool behind it that will create a depression that can vary in size from a couple feet to 10 feet across. The most common trout holding feature you’ll come across though is what we call a “bucket”. Here you will find large glacial erratics in the middle of the river, classic riffle-run scenarios, gravel bar drop offs, undercut banks, tree jams, flats and more. This scenic section is good representation of what it means to float and fish the upper Madison River. Late winter and early spring tend to offer some of the best dry fly fishing of the year though when adult midges and blue winged olives come off. Its surreal being there, and hard to believe I escaped alive, and yet I am drawn there to honor the victims. Every time I come around the bend and see the massive slide my stomach starts hurting. I was back to visit the quake Visitor Center on August 15th for a book signing. Nymph fishing is a very productive method year round in this area. I am a survivor of the 1959 earthquake at Hebgen Lake. The good thing about this rough water is that it forces fish to sit in obvious places, often behind logs and boulders. Instead, anglers can access calmer water near Kelly Galloup’s Fly Shop or at Reynolds Bridge. Truly though, you’re probably better off not going down there. The best way to get to grips with the enormity of the Hebgen earthquake, the largest ever to hit the Rockies, is to visit this center, at the end of Quake Lake. While we cannot express enough caution when fishing here, the fishing is usually quite productive, especially with stonefly and terrestrial imitations. The boulder strewn section of class V rapids directly below Quake Lake’s natural outflow is quite possibly the most dangerous place you can wade fish on the Madison. This turbulent piece of water is called “The Slide” and is appropriately named after a deadly earthquake in 1959 triggered a massive landslide that sadly took the lives of 28 people. This is where the upper Madison River starts and from here runs over 50 miles north to Ennis Lake. Watching pornography alone or with anyone else, including a spouse, is sin.įirst Thessalonians 4:3–7 is as relevant today as it was when it was written, and we can apply its truth to the concept of watching pornography with a spouse: “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. There are healthier ways in which to reconnect with a spouse than to invite sin into the relationship. Love “does not rejoice in iniquity” (1 Corinthians 13:6). Christ would never ask someone to enjoy and participate in the very sin He died to forgive (Ephesians 5:22). But this is a violation of God’s command to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ (Ephesians 5:21). Often, one spouse pushes the idea of viewing porn on the other, who agrees simply to keep the peace. Sexual excitement has become more important than spiritual intimacy, emotional connection, or honoring each other. The desire to watch pornography is a clear sign that priorities have gone awry. When we allow lust, sexuality, or any desire to control us, we have handed over the lordship of our lives to something other than Jesus. God expects us to exercise self-control in all areas of life, including sexuality (Proverbs 25:28 1 Corinthians 7:9). They are there to guard our families and our own hearts. God’s parameters for sex are for our safety and well-being. Watching pornography is giving Satan permission to infiltrate our thinking, damage our hearts, and call “dirty” what God calls “very good” (Genesis 1:26–31). If seeing the nakedness of other people is required to desire sex with one’s spouse, then that is lust. Lust is an overwhelming desire for something God has forbidden (Proverbs 6:25). The third and most obvious reason that watching pornography is always wrong, whether with a spouse or alone, is that the motivation to do so is lust (Colossians 3:5 Matthew 5:28). There is no way to let your heart feast upon vile, pornographic images and remain pure enough to see God. Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matthew 5:8). Nothing about that is in any way pleasing to the Lord. It’s as if one is saying, “My spouse is not sexy enough, so I have invited a sexier stranger to help things along.” The spouses may be touching each other’s bodies, but they are visually touching the bodies of adulterous strangers. Watching pornography with your spouse is a form of virtual adultery. It creates a virtual threesome while you may never think of participating in a ménage à trois in the flesh, you are doing so in your minds. Romans 1:32 can apply here, as it describes the downward moral spiral of those who oppose God: “Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.”Īnother negative aspect of watching pornography with a spouse is that to do so invites strangers into your bedroom. And those who enjoy watching pornography are participating in that abuse. Those who harden their hearts to such a degree that they can commit such private acts in front of spectators are abusing God’s design. God designed this intimacy for a husband and wife only (Matthew 19:5 Ephesians 5:31). By definition, pornography involves at least two unmarried people engaging in illicit sexual behavior in front of a camera. First of all, visual pornography takes a sacred, intimate union and makes it a spectator sport. Yes, viewing pornography is a sin for many reasons, even when viewed with one’s spouse. We know that lust is condemned in Scripture (Job 31:1 Matthew 5:28), but if the sexual relationship is limited to a husband and wife, is watching pornography with a spouse wrong? Pornography appeals to the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh. Some couples feel the need to make their sexual relationship more exciting and believe that watching pornography together increases their enjoyment of their own sexual relationship. Even Christian couples sometimes wonder if pornography can have a redeeming factor if it is viewed with a spouse as part of their private relationship. With the prevalence of the internet and the lowering of society’s moral standards, pornography is becoming an ever-present reality for many people. This allows for persistent waveform caching across editing sessions, and fast waveform rendering when slicing and adding the same file to the timeline multiple times. We now cache waveform data per file, and store this inside the OpenShot project file. fade-in vs fade-out), depending on where they are dropped.įor those users who enjoy working with audio waveforms, this feature has also been heavily expanded and optimized in OpenShot 3.0. Transitions now set their own direction (i.e. Video effects now have unique colors for each effect. Keyframe icons now represent the interpolation mode (circle for bézier, diamond for linear, square for constant), and are clickable and filterable. Keyframe icons have gotten a much needed face lift, and are also more accurate (i.e. Slicing clips with our razor tool is now faster (requiring less CPU). Holding SHIFT will cause the playhead line to snap to the edges of clips. Snapping accuracy has been dramatically improved (while trimming and moving clips / transitions). The timeline has seen lots of love as well in OpenShot 3.0, and includes some great quality of life improvements, making OpenShot even easier to use. Many new caching related settings can be set in the OpenShot Preferences, and the user can now clear the cache any time, by right clicking on the playhead and clicking "Cache->Clear All". It also now includes a pre-roll to build up video frames before playback starts, offering a smoother playback experience. This caching algorithm has been improved to operate at different speeds (1X, 2X, 4X) and in both forward and backwards directions. OpenShot utilizes a caching background thread, which prepares upcoming frames before they are needed. Video caching has also been heavily refactored and improved, to offer new functionality and more optimizations. Also, many improvements related to EOF (end of file) detection and file duration detection have further expanded the compatibility, even for badly encoded files with missing timestamps, and incorrect durations (which is very common in JavaScript encoded videos, and certain types of video capture files). We have rearchitected our decoder to be much more resilient to missing packets, missing timestamps, and better understanding when we are missing video or audio data, so we can move on without pausing.ĭozens of bug fixes and related improvements have also helped OpenShot 3.0 expand compatibility to more video formats and codecs, especially newer ones, which tend to be more reliant on multi-threaded decoding, such as AV1. But to understand why things are so much smoother, we need to look deeper into our decoding engine. One of the largest and most noticeable changes to OpenShot 3.0 is our improved video preview, resulting in smoother video preview and fewer freezes and pauses during previewing. Enhanced Real-Time Video Playback Performance A few notable improvements are related to thread safety (during timeline changes and video playback caching), multi-threaded unit tests designed to flush out race conditions and concurrency issues, safer object clean-up and deletion, and updates to the Undo/Redo system to prevent crashes (for example, when spamming undo). This was a unique challenge, both in finding clever ways to identify and reproduce crashes, and finding solutions that don't impact the performance of OpenShot.

How we change the default branch both remotely and locally Then I’ll dig into what the symbolic refs are and why they might not get updated automatically if one follows some other online instructions. How do I rename the remote branch to origin/legacy or origin/master I tried: git remote rename regacy legacy But this gave an error: error : Could not rename config section 'remote.regacy' to 'remote. git directory) are not accurate anymore.īelow I’ll document the steps we take when we change the default branch of a repo. 1491 I have a local branch master that points to a remote branch origin/regacy (oops, typo). We use some tools which can get confused if git’s internal files (the. Rename the local branch alpha to beta using the git rename branch command below. Instead, you will need first to rename the local branch, push the new branch to the server, and delete the old branch from your repository. Searching online will reveal a lot of articles about how to change the default branch on or changing the default branch on a local machine, but we have found that making changes to the origin can cause problems for people who don’t also make certain changes locally. You can not rename a remote branch as easily as local branches. Verify the local branch has the correct name: git branch -a 2. You will need to delete the old branch name, then push a branch with the correct name to the remote repository. GitHub has been making a similar transition on their site along with the git community. There isn’t a way to directly rename a Git branch in a remote repository. We’ve started creating all new repos with a main default branch, but there are a number of existing git repositories that still use master as their default branch name. Migrating git repos away from a “master” branch without breaking anyone’s local clones Together they make up Cutout Pro, because you can basically make cut out animation on your windows PC. Stickman is the animation software and Elemento is the figure editor. I’m putting this one first because there is just so much potential in this software package. Just in case you wanted to know! Cutout Pro, Stickman & Elemento If you really get into it, here is a little blog on the history of stick figure animation from Know Your Meme.īy the way, none of these are affiliate links, I don’t benefit from telling you about them, I’m just offering you the fruits of my own research.
