![]() When to use Eye AF?Įye AF is really useful for social and wedding photographers because it enables them to ensure the most important part of the subject is sharp. You can read all about Animal Eye AF here and how it works. Not to be outdone, Sony has responded in the past year by pushing the envelope further and introducing a new Animal Eye AF mode. Its popularity has prompted other manufacturers to introduce the technology, and in those cameras Eye AF works largely the same. In C-AF mode it will track the eye around the frame and keep it sharp. When it’s active, it enables the camera to identify an eye in the scene and focus on it. Sony was the first to introduce Eye AF back in 2013, but it only really became something that photographers took notice of when it was made to work in continuous AF (C-AF) mode. Eye AF mode takes this concept a step further. In Face Detection mode your camera is programmed to recognise a mouth, nose and eyes. What is Eye AF?Įye AF is effectively an evolution of Face Detection. This may sound like a very niche list, but if you’re a working professional or take your portraiture very seriously, Eye AF could be the most important feature to consider when buying a new camera. In other words: what follows below are what we believe are the cameras offering the best Eye AF performance. In this guide we’ll first explain what Eye AF is and briefly how it works, then we’ll round up our picks for the best cameras with Eye AF you can currently buy. Ever since it wowed photographers with its performance in the Sony A9, manufacturer after manufacturer has released firmware updates for their flagship cameras, adding their own version of Eye AF. ![]() You’ve probably heard a lot about so-called Eye AF mode over the past couple years.

![]() Properties larger than ½-acre with leafy trees, lots of grass, outbuildings, and other areas that require detailed cleaning benefit from maximum runtime and airflow from a gas-powered blower. In this section, we’ll take a close look at these and other important shopping considerations. ![]() It needs to be powerful enough to clear debris and have sufficient power (in the battery or in the fuel tank) to do the whole yard. There are several key considerations to bear in mind when shopping for a new leaf blower. What to Consider When Choosing the Best Backpack Leaf Blower Because it can take an hour or more to recharge a blower’s batteries, some owners buy additional batteries to avoid downtime. The performance of most battery-powered backpack leaf blowers is similar to that of gas-powered blowers, but the battery-powered blowers run for a shorter length of time. Power settings also have a lot to do with how long a blower will run: On average, battery-powered blowers can run for as short as 10 minutes on high power to as long as 1½ hours on low power. Runtime varies significantly among models. They work especially well for smaller properties of less than ½-acre, and where leaf cover is lighter. Battery-Poweredīattery-powered backpack blowers offer a clean-running, lightweight alternative to gas-powered blowers. They emit exhaust fumes and should only be used in well-ventilated outdoor spaces. Gas powered blowers require both fuel and oil, which adds to their operating cost. They’re also great for smaller properties with heavy leaf cover that require more consistent power for efficient cleanup. Gas-powered blowers are ideal for yards of ½-acre and larger, where battery-powered blowers run out of power. They efficiently clean up large properties without the user having to stop and refill the gas tank. Gas-powered blowers are the go-to choice for landscaping professionals because they offer high power and lots of runtime per tank of fuel. The power source affects the leaf blower’s weight, airspeed, runtime, and other factors. While there are many factors to consider when searching for the right backpack leaf blower, the main difference among the options is whether they are powered by either gasoline or electricity.

Be sure to check out our reviews a bit later. We tested the best backpack leaf blowers that excel in several different categories. Whether your yard is large or small, or whether you prioritize lower emissions, higher air velocity, or the least amount of noise, there’s definitely a leaf blower that fits the bill for your needs. With so many options available, however, deciding on which one to buy can be a challenge. ![]() If you want to spend less time on yard work, a leaf blower can help speed up many projects. Blowers with adapter pipes can even clean rain gutters. Backpack blowers make quick work of removing fallen leaves, grass clippings, dirt, and other debris from your property. With a backpack leaf blower, yard cleanup can be a snap. The base core chiplet has a single eight-core complex (versus two four-core complexes in Zen 2). ![]() An increase of 19% in instructions per clock.Zen 3 has made the following improvements over Zen 2: Improvements ĬCD layouts comparison for Zen 2 and Zen 3 It features, for the first time in a desktop PC product, 3D-stacked vertical 元 cache, which in the size of an extra 64 MB on top of the usual 32 MB increases the total amount to 96 MB and brings tremendous performance improvements for gaming, rivalling the newest processors of the competition while being much more power efficient. On April 20, 2022, AMD released the R7 5800X3D, the last member of the AM4 family. All cache read and write operations are done at 32 bytes per cycle. L2 cache capacity and latency remain the same at 512KB and 12 cycles. Total cache bandwidth on all 8 cores combined remains the same due to power consumption concerns. This new arrangement improves the cache hit rate as well as performance in situations that require cache data to be exchanged among cores, but increases cache latency from 39 cycles in Zen 2 to 46 clock cycles and halves per-core cache bandwidth, although both problems are partially mitigated by higher clock speeds. Zen 2's two 16MB pools each shared among 4 cores in a core complex, of which there were two per chiplet. In Zen 3, a single 32MB 元 cache pool is shared among all 8 cores in a chiplet, vs. Intel and Nvidia have since implemented this feature as well. This technology allows CPU to directly access all of compatible video card's VRAM. Zen 3 (along with AMD's RDNA2 GPUs) were also the first implementation of Resizable BAR, an optional feature introduced in PCIe 2.0, that was branded as Smart Access Memory (SAM). The new configuration allows all 8 cores of the CCX to directly communicate with each other and the 元 Cache instead of having to use the IO die through the Infinity Fabric. A Zen 3 CCD is composed of a single core complex (CCX) containing 8 CPU cores and 32 MB of shared 元 cache, this is in contrast to Zen 2 where each CCD is composed of 2 CCX, each containing 4 cores each as well as 16 MB of 元 cache. Like Zen 2, Zen 3 is composed of up to 2 core complex dies (CCD) along with a separate IO die containing the I/O components. Zen 3 is a significant incremental improvement over its predecessors, with an IPC increase of 19%, and being capable of reaching higher clock speeds. On April 20, 2022, AMD also released the Ryzen 7 5800X3D desktop processor, which increases the single threading performance by another 15% in gaming by using, for the first time in a PC product, 3D vertically stacked 元 cache. On April 1, 2022, AMD released the new Ryzen 6000 series for the laptop, using an improved Zen 3+ architecture. ![]() According to AMD, Zen 3 has a 19% higher instructions per cycle (IPC) on average than Zen 2. Zen 3 is the last microarchitecture before AMD switched to DDR5 memory and new sockets, which are AM5 for the desktop "Ryzen" chips alongside SP5 and SP6 for the EPYC server platform. Zen 3 is supported on motherboards with 500 series chipsets 400 series boards also saw support on select B450 / X470 motherboards with certain BIOSes. Zen 3 powers Ryzen 5000 mainstream desktop processors (codenamed "Vermeer") and Epyc server processors (codenamed "Milan"). It is the successor to Zen 2 and uses TSMC's 7 nm process for the chiplets and GlobalFoundries's 14 nm process for the I/O die on the server chips and 12 nm for desktop chips. ![]() ![]() Zen 3 is the codename for a CPU microarchitecture by AMD, released on November 5, 2020. ![]() The problem arrives with how Oxford – and naysayers – responds to the concern.Īs of September, Giovanardi’s petition has gathered over 34,000 signatures. Framing women in a negative light is pretty much engrained in us. ![]() Admittedly, I have to train myself not to call a woman a bitch if we get in a heated argument. Now, I don’t think Oxford’s decision to associate such words with women makes them a villain. Instead, someone simply seeking “women” now links her to unprovoked insults. What is stopping the dictionary from defining bitch this way? By Oxford standards, it would appropriately reflect society because the person seeking the offensive term would learn of its derogatory use against women. “There’s so much judgement imposed on this definition.” “ The fact that there is so much resistance actually proves it’s obvious how blatantly misogynistic this is” says Giovanardi. ![]() Instead, a male-centric lens is identifying and enforcing how women are portrayed, and packaging it as a truth universally acknowledged. Percival wrote that, “any discrepancy between the representation of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ is a reflection of how language is used in day-to-day life.” If the conversations I have with my female friends are any indication of a larger consensus, there are plenty disrespectful forms of address for men that have conveniently been forgotten. Unless of course, it isn’t about how everyone sees men and women. Nor are there examples of how to disrespectfully address them. Interestingly enough, Google and Lexico do not extend this method to words associated with men. “Our dictionaries provide an accurate representation of language, even where it means recording senses and example uses of words that are offensive or derogatory, and which we wouldn’t necessarily employ ourselves,” the comment reads, supplied by Ella Percival, Oxford’s Interim Head of Communications. While they label these words as offensive, Oxford says their editorial approach publishes based on evidence of how people use English daily. ![]() Oxford University Press dictionaries “reflect, rather than dictate, how language is used,” according to a pre-written comment from an unnamed spokesperson. Similarly, in Lexico, powered by Oxford, example sentences for “daft woman” fall under the category specified for “disrespectful form of address.” This is also found in the premium version of the Oxford Dictionary. Google is one of the Oxford Language-powered search engines. This September will be the one-year anniversary of Maria Beatrice Giovanardi launching a petition requesting Oxford Dictionary remove the misogynistic synonyms they define under woman. My worry is that these negative associations, unchecked, can directly influence how we actually treat women. The dictionary defines, teaches, and tells us what a woman is and how the world sees her. There is no creative expression in question. The dictionary’s sole purpose is to educate. What makes the dictionary’s contribution different than music, film, or television, is that we cannot point fingers and write think pieces on empowered women accused of being bad role models or how men marginalize them. What can be said for a culture making women synonymous with property, an accessory to men, or unpleasant? I believe it creates an environment where misogyny thrives.Īnd if it’s happening to influential politicians like AOC on the steps of the Capitol, it is happening to every woman. What may seem like nothing more than examples of what we call women, actually points to an issue of how we teach others to perceive them. But where does it come from?įor starters, when you Google “ woman”, the synonyms “ piece”, “ baggage”, and “ bitch” appear. We can blame the entertainment industry, the media, or tell ourselves that this has always been the case, but the fact is that women are consistently subjected to offensive names. Now, what do AOC and this young lady have in common? They are both women, making them targets of abusive language – whether they are commuting, earning money, or representing their congressional district. Despite her efforts, men still yelled “bitch” and “slut” as they drove by. She was trying to avoid uninvited attention from men before she even had the chance to clock into work. I know a woman who at 19, wore baggy hoodies over business casual dresses in 30-degree weather to wait for the bus. When congressman Ted Yoho called congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a bitch, she said his words did not pierce her. ![]() Op art plays with visual perception and often, color combinations or patterns that can be very difficult to look at and focus on. This is an example of op art, a movement that became popular in the 1960's. ![]() Therefore, the red circle is the focal point of the composition.Įxamples of emphasis, and subordination in artwork Complementary colors (across from each other on the color wheel) with a high degree of intensity draw the most attention. The large, intensely red circle is bordered with an intense green that is a complementary color to the red, and equal in its intensity. The large circle is an extremely intense (pure) color which contrasts dramatically with the muted gray circles and background. Conversely, although there are many gray circles, they are small in size, very muted in color, and blend in rather than stand out from the background. It is the largest object in the composition. In the example below, it is very clear that the emphasis is on the red circle. Subordination is defined as minimizing or toning down other compositional elements in order to bring attention to the focal point.įocal point refers to an area in the composition that has the most significance, an area that the artist wants to draw attention to as the most important aspect. What is emphasis? What is subordination? And how do they relate to each other and the composition?Įmphasis is defined as an area or object within the artwork that draws attention and becomes a focal point. ![]() Always refer to the owner’s manual if in doubt.

Each one reduces the heart’s ability to pump effectively. There are three main types of heart failure. What are the different types of heart failure? This increases pressure in the vein that brings blood to the liver from the intestines and spleen, causing fluid to accumulate in the legs. With cirrhosis, blood cannot pass through the liver properly. Serious respiratory conditions, like emphysema, can lead to lower leg edema when the right side of the heart starts to fail because the pressure in the heart and lungs becomes too great for proper circulation to continue. Kidney-related edema may affect the legs and/or the face. When the kidneys don’t remove enough fluid and sodium, pressure inside blood vessels increases and edema follows. Problems with the veins that keep them from moving blood along its path to the heart allow fluid to leak into nearby tissue. The additional sodium is excreted in urine. Consuming excess sodium causes the body to retain more fluid to help keep sodium levels from getting too high. Both conditions can lead to temporary fluid retention and swollen feet and legs. Simply getting up and moving around usually alleviates swelling in the legs and feet. Sitting or lying down in one position for too long.Other than heart failure, some common causes of edema include : The main potential causes of edema range from the temporary and harmless to more serious and chronic conditions that require ongoing medical care. One 2021 review of studies suggests that increases in edema may also predict worsening heart failure. Once heart failure is diagnosed, it becomes important to monitor increases in body weight that may result from increased fluid retention. Sometimes edema is the first sign of heart failure. Excess blood and other fluids in the capillaries can leak out into bodily tissues, causing edema. Without medications or devices to improve the heart muscle’s strength, blood doesn’t circulate properly in someone with heart failure. The pressure inside the veins is also higher due to higher pressures in those with heart failure. The veins require a certain amount of force from the heart to keep blood flowing up to the heart and lungs, where it receives oxygen and other nutrients. Since the heart isn’t able to adequately pump blood out through the arteries and bring it back through the veins, blood can begin to pool, especially in the legs and feet. Heart failure can result from several issues, including:ĭiseases like diabetes and sleep apnea can also weaken the heart. It still pumps blood, but it’s not enough to meet the body’s needs. Although it sounds like the heart is failing to work at all, the term heart failure really means that the heart has grown weaker or stiffer. ![]() ® SEAHAWKS, SEAHAWKS LOGO, SPIRIT OF 12, WE ARE 12, BRING ON THE 12, LEGION OF BOOM, 12 and 12S are trademarks of the Seattle Seahawks.

We have a lot of new voices around and I think we’ll begin to hit a good stride by Week 1. Steve Levy (/ l i v i / born March 12, 1965) is an American journalist and sportscaster for ESPN. If you have been listening, you will have noticed a change. Gumble has been doing play by play forever and had no idea how to respond to. ![]() Steve Levy, Louis Riddick, Dan Orlovsky, Laura Rutledge. ![]() We’ve made some big changes to the podcast lineup this season. Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, Melissa Stark. Here’s to a meaningless win today! Broncos Podcasts/YouTube However, in the preseason the Broncos have won four of the last five. Denver has lost five of their last six regular season matchups against the Bills dating back to 2008, with its lone win the one time Peyton Manning played Buffalo as a member of the Broncos. The Broncos and Bills have a long rivalry dating back to the AFL days, but it is a rivalry that seems to go back and forth in one-sided ways. I’d rather see a healthy Broncos squad reach the regular season Week 1 than suffer even one more injury in August. A big part of that likely being due to the fact the Bills are playing starters, while the Broncos will not be playing their starters.

It certainly will be a great evaluation tool for them. With a couple of the starters not fully 100% yet along the offensive line, it’ll be a huge chance for Hackett and his coaching staff to see which backups fare the best against one of the better defensive lines in the NFL. It’s an unbelievable opportunity for those guys to step up and show what they can do.” “We want to see who can come out there and play versus the best in the league. “That’s the best evaluation you can possibly get,” Hackett said of the offensive line facing the Bills’ starting defensive line. Chris Brown (who previously called play-by-play for the Buffalo Bulls football and Buffalo Destroyers arena football teams before joining the Bills as a studio host) is the current play-by-play announcer. One area Hackett is especially going to be paying attention to is the offensive line battles in that first quarter. The Buffalo Bills Radio Network is flagshipped at WGR (AM 550). So that first quarter could make or break the chances for Denver to come away with a victory in this one. Head coach Nathaniel Hackett will not be playing any Broncos starters in this game, but the Bills will. It’s easy to say that, because, well, this game doesn’t count. He’s still beloved by fans and respected by his former teammates, so I am sure it’ll be a warm reunion of sorts.

Paraffin holds scent well, which makes it a popular option, but it’s a by-product of petroleum, which isn’t as sustainable as other candle wax options like coconut or soy. The first and most common is paraffin, which you’ll find in lots of mainstream options like Yankee Candle and Bath & Body Works. ![]() With that in mind, I spoke to a handful of scent obsessives with exceptional taste - and a particular affinity for candles - to find out their favorites, which I’ve listed below.īest overall candle | Best candle for sensitive noses | Best statusy sweet-and-spicy candle | Best luxury sweet-and-spicy candle | Best budget sweet-and-spicy candle | Best statusy fresh candle | Best luxury fresh candle | Best budget fresh candle | Best statusy woody candle | Best luxury woody candle | Best budget woody candle | Best statusy bright-smelling candle | Best luxury bright-smelling candle | Best budget bright-smelling candleĪs I said before, “good” can be subjective when it comes to fragrance - but all candles are made of the same stuff: wax and fragrance.
