![]() Just look for the Watercolor Layer compatibility icon in the Brush Selector when you’re choosing a brush for mixing with watercolor media, or you can enable the Watercolor Compatible filter to see only those brushes. Many default brushes are now compatible with watercolor layers, letting you fuse dry media and watercolor brush marks on the same layer. Painter 2022 breaks down boundaries for mixed-media creators who want to combine watercolor with other art forms. (left) A brushstroke with Squeeze set to 0% (right) A brushstroke with Squeeze set to 30%, Ang Step set to 5°, Ang Range set to 360°, Expression set to Direction, and Spacing set to 50% to illustrate how the dabs rotate For more information, see Static Bristle controls. You can use the Angle controls to rotate and squeeze the brush, providing new, creative dab and brushstroke possibilities. You now have additional shaping options when you’re painting with a Static Bristle brush and a stylus. For more information, see Changing dab profiles. Last but not least, you have the ability to reduce the opacity in the center of Watercolor dabs, which produces a stronger-looking fringe along the edge of the stroke. In addition, you can try the new Soft Profile that provides a strong core, with a large falloff area towards the edge. This lets you fine-tune the opacity of dab profiles so you can create brush marks with soft edges, or with crisp anti-aliased edges, or even somewhere in between. You can now experience improved anti-aliasing for Circular-type brushes by using the new Hardness slider in the Dab Options flyout. New and enhanced! Dab profiles for Circular dab types For more information, see Captured dab controls. You can choose from Feather, Threshold, Blur, Dilate, and Erode effects, and adjust the strength of each applied effect. The new Captured Dabs flyout on the property bar offers Dab Effects that you can use to customize captured dabs. For more information, see Importing Photoshop brush images. They will be added to a new captured dab library so you can use them with other brushes. ![]() When you import Photoshop brush stamps with Painter 2022, you now have the option of importing only the brush stamps. New! Import Photoshop Brush Stamps (ABR) as dabs ![]() To experience the improved color precision of Alpha Blend technology, set the Soft airbrush Opacity to 1%, Resat to 85%, and Bleed to 34%, and then blend two colors. Try the Flat Color brush in the Pens category for a great example of improved anti-aliasing, and the Soft variant in Airbrushes for a smooth buildup of paint with minimal artifacts. In addition, brush loading support has been added to all Enhanced Cover methods to give your brushstrokes that smeary, oily look. Grainy methods feature new options for grain control, opacity, and enhanced layer blending. Noise has been added for artifact reduction in all Enhanced Cover methods, and it is especially pronounced for Soft brushstrokes with feathered edges.Īlpha Blend technology has been added to improve color precision when blending adjacent brushstrokes, reducing the likelihood of unexpected color shifts near the edges. For Flat methods, anti-aliasing support has been increased resulting in opaque dab rendering. The Enhanced Cover methods, available only in Painter 2022, take advantage of the latest technology advancements for an improved brushing experience. Cover methods are also used for some Oils and Blenders, and with many stamp-type brushes. The versatile cover methods are the foundation of many popular brush categories, such as Acrylics, Chalk, Charcoal, Conte, Gouache, Pastels, and Pens. ![]() ![]() Whether you use a mouse or a stylus, we’re certain that you’ll feel the performance enhancements and enjoy a fluid brushing experience. In addition, the new Watercolor Sumi-e category offers exciting creative possibilities for watercolor compatibility, and the new Bravura Oils category features intriguing oil brushes and blenders that do not require any special layers, Impasto, or media settings.įinally, all Painter 2022 brushes have been adjusted to take advantage of brush engine technology developments, such as the new Enhanced Cover methods, layer blending, smoothing options, and dab profile anti-aliasing. We’ve also surveyed many Painter Masters to learn which brushes they most value, resulting in a single-click filter that focuses the library on just those brushes - more than 180! Throughout this process, many artists test drove and helped to optimize brush settings. ![]()

![]() ![]() The sizes and positions of the images shown here depict the relative arrangement of each of Webb’s instruments in the telescope’s focal plane, each pointing at a slightly offset part of the sky relative to one another. For this test, Webb pointed at part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, providing a dense field of hundreds of thousands of stars across all the observatory’s sensors. We are surrounded by a symphony of creation there are galaxies everywhere! It is my hope that everyone in the world can see them.” Engineering images of sharply focused stars in the field of view of each instrument demonstrate that the telescope is fully aligned and in focus. “These images have profoundly changed the way I see the universe. “With the completion of telescope alignment and half a lifetime’s worth of effort, my role on the James Webb Space Telescope mission has come to an end,” said Scott Acton, Webb wavefront sensing and controls scientist, Ball Aerospace. From this point forward the only changes to the mirrors will be very small, periodic adjustments to the primary mirror segments. The image quality delivered to all instruments is “diffraction-limited,” meaning that the fineness of detail that can be seen is as good as physically possible given the size of the telescope. Webb’s mirrors are now directing fully focused light collected from space down into each instrument, and each instrument is successfully capturing images with the light being delivered to them. The optical performance of the telescope continues to be better than the engineering team’s most optimistic predictions. “These remarkable test images from a successfully aligned telescope demonstrate what people across countries and continents can achieve when there is a bold scientific vision to explore the universe,” said Lee Feinberg, Webb optical telescope element manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The alignment of the telescope across all of Webb’s instruments can be seen in a series of images that captures the observatory’s full field of view. This process will take about two months before scientific operations begin in the summer. Upon completing the seventh and final stage of telescope alignment, the team held a set of key decision meetings and unanimously agreed that Webb is ready to move forward into its next and final series of preparations, known as science instrument commissioning. ![]() After full review, the observatory has been confirmed to be capable of capturing crisp, well-focused images with each of its four powerful onboard science instruments. Alignment of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is now complete. ![]() ![]() ![]() See Gosh & Hendersen (2003) for more details on the methodology. > S=genPositiveDefMat("unifcorrmat",dim=15) There is a nice package in R to randomly generate covariance matrices. Since it is more interesting if we have possibly correlated variables, we need a covariance matrix. Not necessarily huge, but large, so that we really have to select variables. In order to illustrate, let us generate a large dataset. Which is something that we can hardly get with econometric models (please let me know if I’m wrong). And something that I love when there are a lot of covariance, the variable importance plot. The performance is much better, but interpretation is usually more difficult. In the case of random forest, I have to admit that the idea of selecting randomly a set of possible variables at each node is very clever. In regression models, I usually mention boostrap to avoid asymptotic approximations: we boostrap the rows (the observations). Being a huge fan of boostrap procedures I loved the idea. Then I discovered forests (see Leo Breiman’s page for a detailed presentation). The performance of that algorithme can hardly compete with a (well specified) logistic regression. The question is nice (how to get an optimal partition), the algorithmic procedure is nice (the trick of splitting according to one variable, and only one, at each node, and then to move forward, never backward), and the visual output is just perfect (with that tree structure). I started to include them in my courses maybe 7 or 8 years ago. They provide an interesting alternative to a logistic regression. ![]() ![]() This is quite rare in the birding world, where both the sexes have prominent differences - a phenomenon known as dimorphism. It is simply a mechanism of light that causes us to see the gorgeous blue feathers, which are, in reality, plain brown.Ĭan you readily identify the sex of the Blue Jay perched on a tree branch? To be honest, both look astoundingly similar, so it’s difficult to tell the difference between a male and female Blue Jay. Unfortunately, the Blue Jay – and all bluebirds lack any such pigment. ![]() This blue color is refracted, and hence what you see are blue-colored feathers of the bird.Ĭonsidering birds like Cardinals that have a gorgeous red plumage, the striking color is due to a pigment called carotenoid. When light strikes the plumage of the blue Jay, all of the colors can pass through except for the Blue. To understand this better, we need to delve into a few scientific phenomena. Blue Jays actually don’t have blue feathers!Īre you surprised to know about this? Yes, blue jays don’t have blue coloring in their feathers. I bet you wouldn’t be aware of most of them, and chances are, you’ll also be amazed to learn about these intriguing facts! 1. The bird warns other birds of attacks from predators but bullies and kills other birds.Įxplore the dynamic facts about Blue Jays. Though quite committed mates and devoted parents, it doesn’t miss a chance to rob the nestlings of other birds. It does not migrate south in the winter season. There are numerous mind-blowing facts about Blue Jays. However, there’s a lot more to learn about the amazing bird apart from its blue feathers and its robust and loud personality. ![]() Observing the bird frequently, you might either become too fond of this bird or maybe too bothered by the presence of this loud and aggressive bird.īlue Jays are one of the most easily identifiable species due to their gorgeous, intricately patterned blue plumage, as well as sport a stunning crest on their head. You might find the Blue Jay to be an extraordinarily wild and boisterous species, or its flamboyance and remarkable intelligence may enthrall you.īut, regardless of how you perceive it, all these attributes are impersonated by the Blue Jay. ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, they are extremely potent and require much thought to operate, and are not recommended for players new to the series.For those that are in the process of playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I thought I'd pass on a little helpful information about the job combinations that are good for each race. If your people are covered with a Regen spell, Scholars might be somewhat safe to use. They are therefore extremely dangerous and must be used carefully, casting their spells either early (when all your people have strong hit points) or late (when you need to finish off the last couple enemies). Their spells strike all targets on the field, both friendly and hostile. Scholars are back-line fighters that rely purely on magick that is as powerful as it is expensive. Learned 1 Beastmaster action ability and 2 White Mage action abilities ![]() Sagacity, used for support magic and offense of elements impossible to get elsewhere Simply because of the race, Sages are far more effective than Bishops. Sages are essentially copies of the Bangaa Bishop they have access to spells that can support allies, inflict a few status ailments, or even launch spells of elements that Black Mages don't have access to.

While Arcanists are rather limited by themselves, using their powers as a secondary ability will augment any other Nu Mou class. Rather than using traditional elements however, Arcanists lean more toward "darker" magick, such as the spell Drain that damages an enemy and heals the Arcanist himself for the same amount. They are back-line fighters that let magic do all their talking, and they're darn good at it. More importantly, they get to use Items no matter what their other ability sets are set to!Īrcanists are Black Mages at heart. Learned 2 White Mage action abilities and 4 Black Mage action abilitiesĪlchemists use some attack magic and some support magic. Illusion, used to strike all enemies regardless of distance with strong magic A pure Illusionist will quickly run out of MP and be a waste, so the best Illusionists are ones that have a good, cheap secondary ability. An Illusionist's spell can hit anyone across the entire battlefield, but all their spells come with high costs. Illusionists are back-line fighters with extremely potent, but extremely expensive, black magick. Time Magick, used for speeding allies or slowing enemies Time Mages are very weak on their own, but Time Magick is a great secondary ability set for other mages. Time Mages use magick to affect, how quickly allies and enemies take their turn. ![]() Quest "Knowing the Beast" must be completed This would turn a 6-on-6 battle to a 7-on-5, hence why they can be so important.īeast Lore, used for forcing an enemy to do one action of your choosing The link only lasts the duration of the battle, so the beast won't be a permanent member of the team or anything, but it's one way to convert one enemy away that you'd have to deal with. Beastmasters cannot control Humes, Nu Mous, Vieras, etc., but wolves or the giant chicken things are fair game. With a minor rule change, Black Mages have been nerfed: all Black Mages start battles with zero magick points, meaning they will not be able to bust out their strongest spells right off the bat.īeastmasters are front- or mid-line fighters that can temporarily control a monster enemy in-battle. White Magick, used for casting direct healing and indirect support spells, as well as reversing status ailmentsīlack Mages are mid-line fighters that rain magical death on enemies.

Nu Mou look like fat white dogs that stand on two legs. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jackie served as a Baldrige examiner, judge, and alumni examiner over a period that spanned more than two decades. An updated version of this document is still a guidance document used by the Program today, although it is now focused on small organizations broadly. That mentoring led to the first document the Baldrige Program produced for our volunteer examiners on Considerations for Reviewing Small Businesses. She was my personal mentor on the unique challenges that small businesses face. And it was her small business understanding that was very helpful to the Baldrige Program. While those roots are in big business manufacturing, her time and love was helping small businesses. I first met Jackie when she worked for Texas Instruments in the 1990s. Her physical presence is gone, but the lessons she taught us in life and while courageously approaching death will serve us all well for many years to come. She meant a lot to the Baldrige Program, the Baldrige community, and to me personally. I will miss her "fierce dedication to doing what is right" (her words and my sense of her core value), her counsel, and her friendship. ![]() She made the decision in mid-September that she was no longer prolonging life but prolonging death and that she would die at home with the same courage and clarity that she brought to life and to the people and work she loved. She fought a two-year battle with cancer and many years of illness and pain, always with optimism. On October 23, 2018, Jackie Beede passed away, in the comfort of her home and family. ![]() ![]() Being essentially “recruited over” by Kirby likely means Georgia losing our ace south Florida recruiter/quarterbacks coach. Last Resort is great, but it ain’t that great. If he’s passed over for the job this time I cannot imagine for the life of me why he’d stay. Speaking of Coley, an ongoing theme in these discussions will be where he fits in given that he turned down the Texas A&M offensive coordinator job last winter to stay in Athens. That would leave money to better remunerate Sam Pittman, James Coley, and Dell McGee. He currently makes $850,000 a season in Lexington and while he’d probably want more to leave, he wouldn’t command the $1.6 million Jim Chaney just got to make him the highest paid offensive coordinator in the nation. In short I’m not sure how the pieces would come together for a Gran hire. Hiring Gran would mean either one of the two coaching a position other than running backs, which isn’t ideal, or Gran not coaching a position group at all, which would mean sacrificing another position coach or special teams coordinator Scott Fountain (unlikely and again, not ideal). Every indication is that Smart is happy with the job McGee has done, both on the field and in recruiting. One of those rising recruiting masters is current UGA running backs coach Dell McGee, renowned as one of the best in America at getting young tailbacks to sign on the line which is dotted. There are now other, younger assistants with a little more cache in that department, but he would not be a downgrade from Chaney in my estimation. One “pro” in Gran’s column for the job is that he’s known as a solid recruiter, although he’s probably a little further down the rankings on that score than he was at one time. That may be equal parts reassuring and depressing to Bulldog fans depending on whether you think Georgia runs too much or not enough. But he’s shown he’s comfortable calling the kind of game the boss man wants called. If Kirby were to hire Gran (we’ll talk whys and why nots momentarily) don’t expect him to bring a wide-open passing attack to the Classic City. It’s also probably a good bit more passing than Kirby Smart would be comfortable with. But between them Moore and Kiel threw for 4662 yards on the season. ![]() That offense transitioned from freshman QB Hayden Moore to junior Gunner Kiel and back again, never really finding the sweet spot. In his final season running the Bearcat attack the offense ran a total of 1059 plays (almost 23% more snaps than his 2018 Kentucky offense) and passed the ball almost exactly 50% of the time. It’s worth noting that Gran’s Cincinnati offenses from 2013 to 2015 were a good bit more up tempo and wide open than what he’s done across the line in the Bluegrass State. That approach has brought him a fair amount of criticism from Wildcat fans, but it also (along with a stout defense) helped deliver a 10 win season in 2018. The ‘Cats ran the ball on 64.4% of offensive snaps in 2018 and averaged a respectable 4.84 yards per attempt (7th in the SEC). ![]() Gran’s background as a tailback whisperer of sorts dovetails nicely with what he’s done at Kentucky, which is run the ball with Stanley “Boom” Williams and Benny Snell until the doors fall off. During his time as a running backs coach he worked with such SEC standouts as Deuce McAllister, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, and Kenny Irons. ![]() He previously coached running backs for Tubs at Ole Miss (1995-98) and Auburn (1999-2008), and also did a short stint at Tennessee (2009, under head coach Lane Kiffin and OC.Jim Chaney). Gran came to Kentucky in 2016 after a stint as offensive coordinator at Cincinnati under Tommy Tuberville. Today we kick things off with a name some are circulating for the vacant offensive coordinator position, Kentucky offensive coordinator Eddie Gran. Now that Jim Chaney’s move to Tennessee has joined Mel Tucker’s move to Colorado in the “official” stack, it’s time to play an offseason game UGA fans haven’t enjoyed in a while: getting to know potential coordinator candidates. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unsure whether the Ford Escape is the right Ford SUV for you?
