Vox media internships12/14/2023 ![]() There are two interesting things we've started doing in terms of optimizing: Inlining small images in CSS, and bundling JS/CSS as well. A lot of it is just due diligence like minifying and gzipping JS/CSS, and serving it from a CDN and setting proper cache headers. We do spend a lot of time obsessing about optimizing our sites, and there is always more to do. If you are curious about the Chorus platform, check out our blog post about it. It's primarily Rails based, but we use a lot of other technologies as well. Glad you like our sites! Our backend is called Chorus, which is a full featured media platform that we have been developing and growing for about five years now. Scott, Dan, and Josh (Features designer for SBN) can speak more to this, This system and process are still evolving, but we love it. The recent Verge ghost-hunting feature is a great example of this - check those fonts and that READ IN THE DARK button! The Vox Story Editor now includes a custom SCSS field, so that custom style can be added within a single feature to create a unique, coherent experience. This snippet framework is designed to be flexible and extendable.įor each feature, designers work with authors to understand the narrative of the piece and to develop a plan for illustrations, imagery, layout, colors, textures, etc. Polygon/SBNU share a set of responsive snippets, though they each include their own variations. The Vox Story Editor allows an author or feature designer to insert these snippets (including lipsum text and placeholder images) to build out the structure of the story. ![]() A wide video snippet a staggered 2 column snippet, etc. Each vertical has a set of modular feature snippets: essentially, structured layout legos that can be stacked reordered, and customized. I worked on the initial snippet framework used on The Verge, which relied heavily on 960.gs grid. All three of our verticals are now regularly publishing customized, longform reviews since SB Nation and Polygon are now fully responsive across devices, those features can be even more ambitious than what you see on The Verge. If we can't get to your question immediately, we will eventually.

Twins rays score12/14/2023 ![]() The right-hander reached behind himself to knockdown Lewis' second-inning grounder and threw him out at first. Reliever Shawn Armstrong started and allowed one hit over two scoreless innings. López worked out of one and third one-out jam in the third by picking Wander Franco off at first base and striking out Randy Arozarena. He returned Monday after missing three game after reaggravating plantar fasciitis on his left foot and is 1 for 8 with five strikeouts over the stretch. He also fanned Correa, who hit a long foul to left during the at-bat, with a runner on first and no outs in the sixth before being replaced by Kevin Kelly.Ĭorrea went 0 for 4. Tampa Bay leads the AL with 106 homers.Ĭooper Criswell struck out Carlos Correa with two on to end the third. “It’s a little frustrating because we know the type of the team that we are,” López said.

It's the best home start since the 1998 New York Yankees also went 28-6. “We can look at it and say we should be better,” Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli said. Tampa Bay (45-19) limited the Twins (31-31) to four hits in a 7-0 victory in the series opener Tuesday night. Paredes also homered, and six Rays pitchers combined on a three-hitter. “Incredible play by Isaac,” said Rays second baseman Taylor Walls, who took Paredes throw. ![]() Minnesota loaded the bases when Will Castro was hit by a pinch, but third baseman Isaac Paredes started a nifty double play with a tumbling throw to second on Ryan Jeffers' grounder. Taylor then swiped third before Royce Lewis tied it with an RBI single. Jason Adam (2-1) blew his fourth save opportunity in 13 chances when the Twins rallied in the ninth.Īdam hit Donovan Solano with one out and walked Max Kepler after pinch-runner Michael A. “He seems to elevate his game when we need it most.”ĭuran has given up just two earned runs over 18 2/3 innings in his last 17 games. “He’s got a knack for it,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. ![]() But once they tied it, I knew that I was going to have a chance to get a nice hit there.” "I didn’t want to bat because I thought we were going to win it earlier. ![]() “I’d say I called it,” Arozarena said through a translator. Randy Arozarena homered leading off ninth inning to give the major league-best Tampa Bay Rays a 2-1 victory over the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.Īfter Minnesota tied it in the top of the inning, Arozarena sent an 0-1 pitch from Jhoan Duran (1-2) to the opposite field into the stands in right-center field.

![]() $FindDate=Get-Date -Year 2016 -Month 06 -Day 24 ![]() There are fancier ways of doing this, but I’m going to use Get-Date because it works internationally. I’m not planning on this being a long weekend but, hey, I could be sick on Monday so, it’s possible □ Right now, let’s get the date for June 24, 2016. In PowerShell, we can filter out files based upon date and time quite easily. You even forgot the file name! Just how do you sort that out? Imagine that it was a really long weekend. Let’s get right down to the nitty gritty. Here is where things really get powerful. Get-Childitem –Path C:\ -Include *HSG* -Exclude *.JPG,*.MP3,*.TMP -File -Recurse -ErrorAction Silentl圜ontinue We can also use the the -Exclude parameter to say, “Don’t show me any TMP, MP3, or JPG files.: Get-Childitem –Path C:\ -Include *HSG* -File -Recurse -ErrorAction Silentl圜ontinue This was introduced in version 3 of PowerShell. We can tell it to show only files by using PowerShell. with the letters, HSG, in it, including folder titles. Unfortunately, it pulls up everything, and I mean everything. Get-Childitem –Path C:\ -Include *HSG* -Recurse -ErrorAction Silentl圜ontinue Yes, odds are that I was watching too much Babylon 5 and stored a file in my Pictures folder. We could now use this same command to show only the Word documents that I can access or maybe even all the files that I put the letters, HSG, in. Get-Childitem –Path C:\ -Recurse –force -ErrorAction Silentl圜ontinue To bypass those issues, add the –force parameter to let it examine those folders as well. That used to drive me bananas! Because Temporary is a hidden folder, you often will miss that, and so will Get-Childitem. Sometimes the reason you can’t find a file is because it was stored in the Temporary Outlook folder. ![]() The -include parameter says, “Show me only these files in the search,” and -exclude says, “Keep that stuff out of my way.”Īs the person on TV used to say, “But wait! There’s more!”. Get-Childitem –Path C:\ -Recurse -ErrorAction Silentl圜ontinueīut, how do we use this as a search tool? Get-Childitem includes two additional parameters, -include and –exclude. So, we tell PowerShell, “Don’t bother showing me those minor errors, just continue.” Those will throw an error (red by default) and makes it very hard to read. In that folder structure, there are bound to be many files that I cannot access. So far, this is no different from running the following command in the CMD prompt.įor searching, PowerShell offers us all the things that we don’t see under the hood. If we add a –Recurse parameter, we can show everything that we have access to. The following example lists all files on the root of Drive C: We can use Get-Childitem to show a list of files and/or directories quite easily. In these situations, even Cortana can’t help me. Sometimes I’d use locations that the Indexer in Windows isn’t watching. Why PowerShell? Well, to be honest, I have a bad, bad, bad habit of putting data where it shouldn’t be. I use PowerShell to search for things constantly! Honorary Scripting Guy, Sean Kearney, is here today to show you a cool trick I use all the time. ![]() Is there a way to use Windows PowerShell to find it? I saved a file somewhere on my computer and can’t find it. This will only return for a search of html if that exists on its own line separately.Summary: Use Get-Childitem to search the files system with PowerShell.

Darth vader actor david prowse voice12/14/2023 ![]() Of course with the later casting of Hayden Christensen as the young Anakin, the age would have been about right. James Earl Jones is to a degree the opposite - he has an amazing voice, and although a more accomplished actor than Prowse, does not have the right bodybuilder physical presence and is (only) 6 foot 2 inches tall.įinally, why Sebastian Shaw and not Prowse for the final scene with Vader? They may have thought that Prowse, only in his late 40's, might look a little too young to be Luke's father, and the accent would have been too striking a difference to the 'in helmet' voice. He was also from the UK where many of the scenes involving Vader were made. However David Prowse was a body-builder, had acting experience so he had the right look at 6 foot 6 inches tall. To many ears this sounds a little parochial - most people would think this more the accent for a farmer than a galactic enforcer for the Emperor, however unfair that comparison might be. He is from Bristol in the UK, and has a Bristolian accent, what would be described as in the UK as a 'west country accent'. But at least we know that his interpretation of the character’s voice will continue to live on.David Prowse definitely did not have the right voice. Darth Vader was played by an English actor (and bodybuilder) called David Prowse, however the iconic voice was re-dubbed by the stage and film actor James Earl Jones. So, it’s certainly disappointing to know that James Earl Jones will be physically retiring from voicing Darth Vader. 24 when Russia invaded the country.” So, “as air raid sirens powered through the city of Lviv, Belyaev hurried to finish the project and send his work back to Skywalker Sound in Northern California.” Luckily, he succeeded. As they noted, “Bogdan Belyaev, the 29-year-old speech artist, was tasked with delivering the new recordings to Lucasfilm.” However, “tragedy struck on Feb. Surprisingly, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nearly ruined the entire project. Furthermore, Jones is credited for “guiding the performance” of Darth Vader throughout the show. Even James Earl Jones’ family is said to have been satisfied with the new vocals. They’re a “Ukrainian startup that uses AI technology to craft new conversations from revitalized old voice recordings.” And, considering how the voice of Darth Vader was received by fans throughout the run of Obi-Wan Kenobi, their technology works exceptionally well. The specific technology used for these synthetic vocals comes from Respeecher. In fact, the Star Wars franchise first used the technology to create a young Luke Skywalker’s voice for his appearances in The Book of Boba Fett. He first appeared in the prequel trilogy films, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones (2002. He is best known for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader in the Star Wars media franchise. James Earl Jones voiced Darth Vader and his lines were very different from the ones in the script. Tove Christensen (brother) Erik Christensen (cousin) Hayden Christensen ( / krstnsn / born April 19, 1981) 1 is a Canadian actor. They explained that “the 91-year-old actor has signed off on archival voice recordings being used by young filmmakers, who plan to utilize artificial intelligence synthetic speech technology to recreate Jones’ younger voice from his previous films for future Lucasfilm projects.” We’ve already seen the impact this technology had for Darth Vader on the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. While Prowse was the actor who portrayed Darth Vader in the movie, he did not voice the character. Prowse’s tall stature made Vader a more domineering presence and added to the mystery around him. Now it’s been announced that James Earl Jones will be retiring as the voice of the character, 45 years after the very first Star Wars film.Īs noted via Vanity Fair, however, his voice will still be part of the character. The late David Prowse was the actor who physically portrayed Darth Vader on the set of the original Star Wars movies. he admits that Orson Welles was his top choice to voice Darth Vader. Meanwhile, actor James Earl Jones provided the voice that would make Darth Vader one of cinema’s most frightening foes. David Prowse, the hulking British actor who gave menacing physicality to Darth Vader in Star Wars, has died at the age of 85. ![]() ![]() David Prowse portrayed the physical performance of the character throughout the original Star Wars trilogy. ![]() The iconic Star Wars character Darth Vader was first brought to life with two actors. ![]()

Verb moods interactive activity12/14/2023 ![]() ![]() Most sentences in English are in the indicative mood because the indicative is the most commonly used mood. The indicative mood allows speakers to express assertions, denials, and questions of actuality or strong probability. English has three moods: indicative, subjunctive, and imperative. Modality can be expressed through modal verbs as well as through grammatical mood in English. Modality is the expression of possibility, necessity, and contingency. ![]() Mood is the expression of modality of an action or state. For example, the past participles of study, take, and begin are studied, taken, and begun. Past participles, or -en forms, are formed 1.) identically to the -ed past tense, 2.) by adding the suffix -en to the base form, or 3.) with a stem change. For example, the present participles of eat and read are eating and reading. Present participles, or -ing forms, are formed by adding the suffix -ing to the base form of a verb. The formula for forming the past perfect-progressive is. The formula for forming the present perfect-progressive is. For example, the use of the perfect-progressive aspect in I had been floating the book indicates that I started floating the book in the past and continued to float the book until a specific point in time at which I stopped floating the book. The perfect-progressive aspect expresses incomplete or ongoing actions or states that began in the past and continue to a specific time. The formula for forming the past perfect is. The formula for forming the present perfect is. For example, the use of the perfect aspect in I have floated the book focuses on the end result of my floating the book (my having floated the book) as opposed to the process of floating the book. The perfect aspect expresses the consequences resulting from a previous action or state. The formula for forming the past progressive is. The formula for forming the present progressive is. For example, the use of the progressive aspect in I am floating the book indicates that I started floating the book in the past and am still floating the book in the present and presumably the future. The progressive aspect expresses incomplete or ongoing actions or states at a specific time. For the formation of the simple present and simple past verbs, please refer to the charts in the “Tense” section. The simple aspect expresses single actions, habits, and routines. English has four aspects: simple, progressive, perfect, and perfect-progressive.Īlthough not always identified, the simple aspect is the default aspect of the simple present and simple past tenses. Aspect in English expresses ongoing actions or states with or without distinct end points. AspectĪspect is the expression of the temporal structure of an action or state. For more information on the English modal system, please read the article English Modal Verbs. ![]() Futurity is, instead, expressed through modal verbs, specifically will and shall. The base form of a verb in English is the infinitive without the preposition to functioning as an infinitive marker.ĭespite popular belief, English does not have a future tense. The general formula for forming the simple past tense in English is: The general formula for forming the simple present tense in English is: English has only two verb tenses: present and past. Grammatical tense only roughly relates to time. ![]() Tense is the expression of location in time of an action or state. The following sections discuss the tenses, aspects, moods, and voices of the English verb system.

Best harvest moon game for wii12/14/2023 ![]() ![]() Like i said, this game has it's share of small problems but it doesn't stop this game from being what you we're expecting which is a solid Harvest Moon game. The games in game time works like this ten minutes in the game is a mere 5 seconds in real life and before you get an animal you can ride this makes getting place to place in time difficult, however I'd say the layout of this town works well with the short amount of time you are given each day. It takes forever to get from one place to another even when you're entering a smaller area, like a barn or a house. Tree of Tranquility's worse problem however would have to be the load times. The graphics are fine for the most part, but more than once I've caught myself staring at a character in the game and thought to myself, this character looks more like a mannequin than a human. Although the sound effects and the few voices that are in the game could use some work. The games music is relaxing and fitting and it's some of the best in any Harvest Moon game. ![]() As you progress in the game you'll upgrade you're tools, the amount of things you can carry, and how much land you own to make you're life a little easier. All of those aspects are present in tree of tranquility and are done rather well in there own way. While farming you'll also be doing things like raising barn animals, fishing, mining, chatting with neighbors, starting a family, and of of course completing the main story which usually involves helping out the harvest goddess. If you've never played a harvest moon game before it's a life simulation game based around farming. Meanwhile of course you're still there to do what you came there for in the first place, start a farm. You're job is to craft some rainbows to help out the harvest goddess and save the island.
