How Many Pixels Do I Need? Daystar Page 1 of 1. Version 1.2, © 2005, 2008 by Dale Cotton, all rights reserved. This is one of the most common questions on photography forums. If you are thinking of buying, for example, an 8 megapixel digital camera, you want to know how large a print you can expect to be able to produce from its image files. Unfortunately, we can't simply say 8x10" or 16x20" or any such single answer. Assuming an excellent lens and flawless technique, maximum print size still varies enormously depending on your subject matter and how close you are to your subject. Pixels per inch is an essential concept for this discussion. Consider the following close-up portrait: Fig. 1: Lanner Falcon (Toronto Zoo) A 6 mp image like this can be enlarged almost indefinitely. Now consider the opposite extreme: Fig. 2: 05-1923, Appleview Rd In this 6 mp picture the fine detail of the tree branches and houses needs to have absolutely crisp edges. This translates to: In inches: In centimeters:
Making a Yew Self Bow In October last year, a good friend of mine gave me a really nice yew stave to make a bow out of. Since then I have periodically picked it up, looked at it, wondered what kind of bow to make, and then put it down again. Having made a few long bows before, I wanted to try something a bit different. All of them could shoot an arrow, but they would kick quite badly or broke after a couple of hundred shots. The difference in design it that the limbs (the bendy bits of wood that give the bow its power), are much wider and shallower than the English style Longbow (which I had based my earlier bows on). I then took the bow to a friend of mine who cut out the marked up shape with a band-saw. Yew has a unique property that makes it an ideal wood for making bows with. So to get the bow working as efficiently as possible I needed to reduce the amount of sapwood on the stave so the finished bow will contain both heart and sapwood (the sapwood is too thick otherwise). Then add a leather handle P.S.
Python For Microsoft Excel Company IronSpread Comes Out of Beta, Changes Name To DataNitro Y Combinator Winter Summer 2012 graduate Data Nitro (formerly known as IronSpread) has a simple proposition: it enables you to to use the popular programming language Python in Microsoft Excel. The plugin is free for individual non-commercial and enterprises will pay for the privilege. So far it’s only available for the Excel 2007 and 2010 for Windows. Although power users have long been able to use Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to script Excel, and Microsoft is expected to support JavaScript in Office, Python is a strong addition to the Excel jock’s toolkit. The good news: You can still use all your old VBA scripts, Data Nitro won’t stop them from working. Other tools for working with Python code in Excel include Pyvot and Pyxll (hat tip to the Hacker News community for the links).
Beauté et santé : comment bien utiliser l'argile ? Vous avez peut-être déjà utilisé de l’argile, toute prête ou en poudre. De l’argile, oui, mais quelle argile ? Et comment l’utiliser ? Voici quelques éléments de réponse. Au quotidien, certains produits très simples peuvent s’avérer utiles pour de multiples usages : on peut faire beaucoup de choses pour la maison et/ou la cosmétique avec des produits aussi simples que le vinaigre de cidre, le vinaigre blanc, le bicarbonate de soude ou encore la terre de sommières. L’argile est une boue, qu’on trouve préparée ou à transformer. On utilise souvent les argiles en beauté, en masque notamment, et pour cela selon votre type de peau on utilisera une couleur différente d’argile. Quelle argile choisir ? En réalité, la couleur est loin d’être le seul critère de choix : la provenance est une donnée bien plus importante. On pourra néanmoins se fier à quelques principes : pour une peau sèche plutôt une argile blanche et pour une peau grasse plutôt une argile verte. L’argile, des usages variés
Satanism: An interview with Church of Satan High Priest Peter Gilmore Monday, November 5, 2007 Peter H. Gilmore: "Satanism begins with atheism. We begin with the universe and say, “It’s indifferent. In the 1980's and the 1990's there were multiple allegations of sexual abuse of children or non-consenting adults in the context of Satanic rituals that has come to be known as The Satanic Panic. One of the most visible Satanic organizations—though one that was never a suspect or charged in any of the Satanic Panic cases—is the Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey. Gilmore feels Satanists are often misunderstood or misrepresented. On a windy October day in Central Park, Wikinews reporter David Shankbone sat down with the High Priest of the Church, Peter H.

Unleash the Power of Android with These Automated Apps Bomb suit A bomb suit or a blast suit is a heavy suit of body armor designed to withstand the pressure released from a bomb and any projectiles the bomb may produce. It is usually worn by trained personnel attempting bomb disposal . In contrast to ballistic body armors , which usually focus on protecting the torso and head, a bomb suit must protect all parts of the body, since the dangers posed by a bomb's explosion affect the entire body. Current designs that are effective are generally very heavy, bulky and difficult to maneuver in. These drawbacks make it unsuitable for regular use in combat situations. Parts of the bomb suit overlap for maximum protection. In order to maximize precision, bomb suits lack gloves. EOD technicians wear bomb suits during reconnaissance, 'render safe' or disruption procedures on potential or confirmed explosive threats. History [ edit ] In photos of early missions to defuse unexploded bombs, [ 4 ] the men are not wearing any protective gear. Recently, the U.S.

Рукопись Войнича Манускрипт Войнича написан с помощью неизвестной системы письма Ру́копись Во́йнича ( англ. Voynich Manuscript ) — таинственная книга, написанная около 600 лет назад неизвестным автором на неизвестном языке с использованием неизвестного алфавита . По результатам радиоуглеродного анализа четырёх образцов манускрипта было установлено, что рукопись была создана между 1404 и 1438 годами . В рукописи присутствует только одно реалистическое изображение города, на котором присутствует крепостная стена с зубцами типа « ласточкин хвост ». Рукопись Войнича пытались расшифровать множество раз, но до сих пор безо всякого успеха. Книга названа именем библиофила из Каунаса , Вилфрида Войнича (мужа известной писательницы Этель Лилиан Войнич , автора « Овода »), который приобрёл её в 1912 году .
