Motion-Eye also allows the XZ Premium and XZs to capture slow-motion footage at 960 frames-per-second. Both phones boast 19-megapixel cameras in the rear, with Sony’s Motion-Eye predictive capture technology, which automatically buffers images before they’re taken, so if you time an action shot wrong, you can simply go back and choose from one of four pre-selected frames. This is where the Xperia XZ-series truly shines. Winner: Tie Camera Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends Technically, all the software on the XZ Premium probably runs a bit faster (because of the processor), but the features are all the same. The XZs’ 5.2-inch Full HD screen simply can’t compare.īoth phones are part of the same Xperia family, and there are zero differences between the XZ Premium and XZs in terms of software.īoth phones run Android 7 Nougat, and both come equipped with Sony’s Xperia Actions adaptive software, which learns your behavior over time and makes suggestions (such as turning down screen brightness after dark, for example) to help make your life easier. The “ HDR” tag means colors will be more vibrant and blacks will be, well, blacker. The XZ Premium’s 4K HDR display is absolutely stunning, though it’s likely that the device only runs at 4K when displaying 4K video content. The ice blue model in particular is a nice departure from the traditional smartphone hues. When placed side-by-side, the XZs definitely isn’t as eye-catching, but not too shabby. It’s a handsome piece of tech, despite its fatal attraction to fingerprints. Wrapped in durable Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and diamond-cut at the edges, the Premium - especially its chrome variant - is a joy to behold. Both phones feature curved edges, though the XZ Premium’s are more pronounced.Įven though large bezels may be out of style, Sony managed to make it work with the XZ Premium. There can be no debate about this: The XZ Premium is bigger, badder, and better-looking than the XZs. The XZ Premium, equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor (not in any currently available smartphone), is miles faster than the XZs, which is stuck with a that’s-so-last-year Snapdragon 820. It’s almost unfair to compare these two phones.

Reapers are proven have a much scarier encounter in the night mainly because their eyes no longer glow and its hard to see them (don't believe me? try it your self.) If reapers are hit by a repulsion cannon shock wave it leaves them stunned for 5 seconds. Reapers flinch when damage is inflicted so you know they are being hurt. (This is story-wise, not actually in the game). Sea Dragons would come up to the surface and snatch reapers and drag them down to the lava zone and snack on them. (You cannot really battle with the cyclops, the only thing you can do is just ram into it but that takes health from your sub). Graphle onto the reaper and punch the ♥♥♥♥ outta it until it eventually dies or it tears you and your prawn apart. (You don't need the frill arm, its been debunked that it does small damage so the default arm is better for damage). For Prawn battle you must equip the graphling arm, hull reinforcement module and jetpack upgrade. Select the seamoth icon on your jud (pressing 1 or what slot it's equipped in) old in the attack button and charge up the electrical shock wave then release it, this will chase the reaper away for a short period of time because it was damaged / shocked by the shock wave. And if wanting to fight with seamoth then as said above, make sure you have the perimeter defense module, hull reinforce module, torpedo module and some torpedo's of your choice (gas or vortex). (Bare in mind reapers have ALOT of health so it would take alot of hits with the blade). When encountered then swiftly freeze the reaper with the stasis rifle and then stab it as many times as you can with the hardened blade and be watchful of the stasis rifle's freeze-bubble, it could run out and the reaper would be chasing you. If wanting to fight a reaper then you should bring a hardened blade, batteries and a stasis rifle. If you wanted to fight it but then had regrets or just ♥♥♥♥ your pants accidentally encountering it then you should eject a Cyclops decoy module out of your ship or deploy it by hand if you brought it with you in your Prawn or Seamoth because the decoy emmits a pinging / mechanical noise that most predators don't like so they will attack it, giving you the good chance to get your ass out of there but be careful what biome your in reapers spawn in the Dunes, Mountains and Crash zone (beside the Aurora) and there are multiple Reaper's there so be careful of what direction you go in, there could be 3 more reapers waiting for you. But, if you come to it in a seamoth with the perimeter defense module and a hull reinforcement then you have a better chance of surviving or dying later, even a cyclops cannot stop the predator. This specimen was likely born far from the area where it was encountered.If you accidentally or purposley stumble upon this predator then your most likeley ♥♥♥♥♥♥. When threatened it can tense its entire body before lashing out with incredible speed. Its muscled interior body is surrounded by a translucent outer membrane, suggesting adaptation for deep, low-light environments. A creature so vast requires a huge expanse of water to satisfy its daily calorie requirements. Their vicious attacks on interlopers to their domain are not predatory in nature, but territorial. While fully capable of tearing through the flesh of any creature in range, all evidence indicates that mature ghost leviathans feed on microscopic lifeforms in the waters around the edges of the inhabited zone. Adults of the species have been encountered exclusively around the edges of the volcanic crater which supports life on this part of the planet, and react with extreme aggression on approach.Ĭartilaginous extensions of the creature's skull form a hammerhead which protects the ghost leviathan as it performs devastating ramming attacks. This creature is approaching the size limit for sustainable organic lifeforms, and has been designated leviathan class. And these different mindsets can’t be activated at once, so in practice I’m either neglecting one or rapidly switching between them I find that these involve very different parts of my mind - generating ideas should feel free-flowing and diffuse, while filtering should feel constrained, directed and focused. This is an example of a general failure mode - trying to both generate and filter at the same time. Any weak and half-formed ideas are discarded before they can be fleshed out into something worthwhile This is incredibly unhelpful, because this is paralysing in practice, and means I struggle to come up with anything. I’m a massive perfectionist, and I find it easy to slip into the failure mode of generating the perfect idea. I think there are two main insights here: Solving the small problems I run into when doing work But I’ve found it useful in a wide range of areas in my life. This is obviously a useful skill in settings like doing art and research. This is a skill that I still suck at, but I’ve improved a lot at over time, and this post is my attempt to outline the approach that’s worked best for me. I think creativity is an incredibly valuable skill and, importantly, a learnable skill, not an inherent trait. I think these problems are, at their heart, a lack of creativity. The space of possibilities is enormous and the ability to search beyond what’s obviously visible is really valuable for noticing when you are wasting motion. I think this is a really big problem, because the world is large and complicated. I find that this goes hand-in-hand with the far larger problem of being trapped within your preconceptions - to notice the obvious solution to your problem, the obvious life path ahead of you, the obvious thing somebody in your role should do, and never realising there can be anything more. To be working on a problem, or trying to generate ideas, find it hard and stop looking. A really common failure mode that I observe in myself and others is to get stuck and then give up. I'm going to spend some time away from this project now, as I have some other things I want to learn and some other ideas to work on. You can then use that to play with the filters ( gif demo).ĭespite it's bugginess, I'm proud of the work I've done to get everything this far. In order for you to compare the t-shirts I measured against your own measurements, I created a simple tool ( gif demo) to quickly estimate your ideal measurements. It's a bit of a mess, and sorry about the long initial load time (it's on my long to-do list of bug fixes). I created a database to store all the measurements and t-shirt details, and then I created this web page: to allow everyone to sort/filter t-shirts that will fit them. So I've spent the last couple of years using this project to develop my coding skills. I've never tried their stuff before so interesting to hear if anyone can say how their quality compares to UNIQLO/H&M? The best fitting t-shirt I tried was Zara's slim fit crew-neck (medium).H&M slim-fit crew-necks were better fitting than UNIQLO's for someone with a slim build like mine.Although I personally don't think that I'll ever have a need for a long-sleeved t-shirt. The long-sleeved t-shirt was probably the best fitting of the UNIQLO shirts I tried.As you can see, the chest measurement has stayed consistent, while the waist and hem have got wider, and the length is now 2cm longer. I've made a comparison of the crew-neck t-shirts I bought 2-3 years ago (green shows the old measurements, blue markers show the new t-shirt measurements. UNIQLO standard crew-neck t-shirts used to fit me much better.I assume the small was the better fit, but I have no idea how "oversized" people want to go for. I have no idea how to pull off an oversized t-shirt - so apologies for not doing them justice.Here's an album I made, in case anyone else is a similar build to me (I'm 183cm/6ft, 73kg/160lbs, chest: 99cm/39"). I also measured a few pima cotton t-shirts from H&M, and a couple from Zara. Today I measured all the t-shirts that they were stocking in my local UNIQLO. (Ironically, in trying to solve the problem, I'm finding that I'm spending more and more times visiting shops and doing just that). I really don't enjoy the experience of spending 20 minutes walking around a shop trying things on, only to find that nothing there fits me at all. Whatever you're after, whatever your budget, wherever you're going, the T-shirt of your wildly specific dreams is right here.So I'm getting to the end of a personal project of mine to try to find how to eliminate the need for wasted shopping trips. Near being the operative word because we've done the Herculean task of assembling an encyclopedic breakdown of the absolute best men's T-shirts, from crisp white tees to funky-colored bangers, husky winter-ready heavyweights and paper-thin summer undershirts. The situations that warrant a T-shirt are endless and there are a thousand options for each one which makes actually choosing the right one a near impossible task. See, a good T-shirt is the foundation of practically every great outfit whether it's taking the spotlight with a classic pair of blue jeans and sneakers, hiding under a flannel shirt, getting dressed up with a luxuriously louche suit, or soaking up the hard-earned sweat in a swishy gym outfit. But the best T-shirts for men go beyond fashion fundamentals and can play the lead just as well as it can play the supporting role. T-shirts are about as basic as basics can get. The word landscape, first recorded in 1598, was borrowed from a Dutch painters' term. The modern form of the word, with its connotations of scenery, appeared in the late sixteenth century when the term landschap was introduced by Dutch painters who used it to refer to paintings of inland natural or rural scenery. The suffix -schaft is related to the verb schaffen, so that -ship and shape are also etymologically linked. The roots of -ship are etymologically akin to Old English sceppan or scyppan, meaning to shape. The suffix -scape is equivalent to the more common English suffix -ship. Land (a word from Germanic origin) may be taken in its sense of something to which people belong (as in England being the land of the English). The term landscape emerged around the turn of the sixteenth century to denote a painting whose primary subject matter was natural scenery. The word landscape ( landscipe or landscaef) arrived in England-and therefore into the English language-after the fifth century, following the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons these terms referred to a system of human-made spaces on the land. When people deliberately improve the aesthetic appearance of a piece of land-by changing contours and vegetation, etc.-it is said to have been landscaped, though the result may not constitute a landscape according to some definitions. In common usage however, a landscape refers either to all the visible features of an area of land (usually rural), often considered in terms of aesthetic appeal, or to a pictorial representation of an area of countryside, specifically within the genre of landscape painting. There are several definitions of what constitutes a landscape, depending on context. The activity of modifying the visible features of an area of land is referred to as landscaping.ĭefinition and etymology Autumn landscape in Rybiniszki, Latvia, watercolor by Stanisław Masłowski, 1902 ( National Museum in Warsaw, Poland) A typical Dutch landscape in South Holland The Earth has a vast range of landscapes including the icy landscapes of polar regions, mountainous landscapes, vast arid desert landscapes, islands, and coastal landscapes, densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions. Landscape can be as varied as farmland, a landscape park or wilderness. It is the dynamic backdrop to people's lives. The character of a landscape helps define the self-image of the people who inhabit it and a sense of place that differentiates one region from other regions. Combining both their physical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence, often created over millennia, landscapes reflect a living synthesis of people and place that is vital to local and national identity. A landscape includes the physical elements of geophysically defined landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including different forms of land use, buildings, and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions. For example in the 1960s land artists such as Richard Long radically changed the relationship between landscape and art by creating artworks directly within the landscape.Large fields of modern farmland, Dorset, EnglandĪ landscape is the visible features of an area of land, its landforms, and how they integrate with natural or man-made features, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal. The genre expanded to include urban and industrial landscapes, and artists began to use less traditional media in the creation of landscape works. In the second half of the twentieth century, the definition of landscape was challenged. The baton then passed to France where, in the hands of the impressionists, landscape painting became the vehicle for a revolution in Western painting (modern art) and the traditional hierarchy of the genres collapsed. Britain produced two outstanding contributors to this phenomenon in John Constable and J.M.W. The nineteenth century, however, saw a remarkable explosion of naturalistic landscape painting, partly driven it seems by the notion that nature is a direct manifestation of God, and partly by the increasing alienation of many people from nature by growing industrialisation and urbanisation.

Melcher suggested in 1937 the establishment of a second annual medal. How the Caldecott Medal Came to BeĮach year the Newbery Medal is awarded by the American Library Association for the most distinguished American children's books published the previous year. However, as many persons became concerned that the artists creating picture books for children were as deserving of honor and encouragement as were the authors of children's books, Frederic G. The wording continues even though several ALA reorganizations resulted in 1958 in the present divisions, including the Children's Services Division, now the Association for Library Service to Children, which now has sole responsibility for administering the award. For this reason the Caldecott Medal inscription reads, "Awarded annually by the Children's and School Librarians Sections of the American Library Association." This is a combination and simplification of the actual names of the sections. When the Caldecott Medal was accepted in 1937, the Section for Library Work with Children invited the School Libraries Section to name five of its members to the awards committee each year. The bronze medal has the winner's name and the date engraved on the back. In 1937 René Paul Chambellan designed the Caldecott Medal.
