As far as media goes, this book does a great job incorporating it into the story without it becoming or feeling forced. The reader can feel as though they are living through the events of the story as the main character, with some chapters being only a couple of pages long one chapter is a list of bulleted thoughts, and many chapters are excerpts from pieces of media Frances consumes. Oseman takes some artistic liberties with how the book is stylized, making it more of an immersive reading experience. Haar debuutroman, Solitaire, werd in 2014.

What do the blue LED flashes mean on the ColorSnap Match? The ColorSnap Match shuts off automatically after 20-30 seconds. Press the button on the back of the device once to power on the device. The ColorSnap Match has its own controlled light source and can read the color you're scanning accurately. The challenge with phone cameras is they don't account for shadows, bright lights or direct sunlight.Ĭameras capture colors with Red, Green, and Blue detectors but human eyes see color differently than camera detectors. Why can’t I use the camera on my smart device? The color scanned and the represented product results are accurate based on our scanning algorithm even though visual representation on the screen may seem “off." Screen resolution varies from device to device. Why does the color I scanned look different than what’s on the screen? The ColorSnap Match itself does not require an internet connection, the smart device that it is connected to does require connection in order to search the color libraries selected. We define a function show_selected_images that iterates over all images, calls the above function to filter them based on color and displays them on the screen using imshow.The ColorSnap Match is a revolutionary color-matching system that uses a color scanning device that links to an app to scan and accurately match colors to Sherwin Williams colors.ĭoes ColorSnap Match require an internet connection to work? We need to carefully set the threshold value. It’s all based on what is required in the situation at hand and we can modify the values accordingly. Similarly, on the other hand, if the threshold is too low, then green might not even match images that have dark green in them. If the threshold is too high, we might start seeing blue images in our search. Let’s consider the case where we are trying to find images with color Green. The threshold basically defines how different can the colors of the image and selected color be. If we extract say 5 colors from an image, even if one color matches with the selected color, we select that image. We need to scan through all possibilities. We need to calculate the delta and compare it to the threshold because for each color there are many shades and we cannot always exactly match the selected color with the colors in the image.īy saying green, the user can mean light green, green or dark green. The for loop simply iterates over all the colors retrieved from the image.įor each color, the loop changes it to lab, finds the delta (basically difference) between the selected color and the color in iteration and if the delta is less than the threshold, the image is selected as matching with the color. We use the method rgb2lab to convert the selected color to a format we can compare. We first extract the image colors using our previously defined method get_colors in RGB format. Finally, to combine paths while reading files from a directory, we import os. To compare colors we first convert them to lab using rgb2lab and then calculate similarity using deltaE_cie76. KMeans algorithm is part of the sklearn's cluster subpackage. To extract the count, we will use Counter from the collections library. We import the basic libraries including matplotlib.pyplot and numpy. ![]() The sample_image.jpg was clicked by me and the other 5 images in the folder images were taken from Unsplash. The complete notebook is available at this repository. In this article, I explain how I understood the basics of OpenCV, extracted colors from images using KMeans algorithm and filtered images from a collection of images based on RGB values of colors. I got inspired to actually write the code that can extract colors out of images and filter the images based on those colors. We’ve all seen that we can search online on the basis of certain filters one of which is color. When I came across OpenCV which allows import and manipulation of images in Python, I started to wonder if information could be extracted out of those images using Machine Learning and used in some way. I recently started reading about how I could work with Images in Python. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lifters do this with the expectation of hitting the muscle group hard repeatedly, resulting in greater muscular damage. If you paired a heavy deadlift (which is extremely taxing on the lower back) with a heavy standing overhead press (which requires a great deal of lower back stability to prevent injury), you’ve got an easy recipe for disaster.Īnother variation is to superset exercises which use the same muscle group. Some exercises simply don’t pair well together. When pairing compound movements, even compound movements with no practical muscular crossover (for example, a bench press and a squat, or something similar), the systemic fatigue from one lift makes it hard to complete the other in a practical time frame. This makes them awesomely effective at making you strong and sexy, but also means that you get tired out more quickly. It’s also a matter of what types of exercises you’re using.Ĭompound movements, which use a lot of muscles together at once, correspondingly generate a lot of fatigue and tire out a lot of muscles at once. The more exercises involved, the harder it gets to tell exactly how you can advance the workout in order to continue to get better results. It gets worse when we compare more than two exercises, as in tri-sets.Ĭircuit training, which is also similar but relies on even more exercises, further complicates everything. But if you’re rushing through 3 sets of each for a total of 6 sets, it’s unclear what the limiting factor holding back your progress is - the biceps? The triceps? The overall metabolic demand on recovery? Which part should we focus on increasing the difficulty of - the weight of the bicep curl, or the tricep extension, or the repetition range of either, or the speed with which sets are completed, which increases recovery demand?įor example, it's highly possible that by adding weight to the bicep curl in this superset, I cause my triceps extension to suffer, because the greater overall fatigue leaves me in a poorer position to progress for the triceps. One of the problems of methods like supersets and tri-sets is that it makes it harder and harder to accurately judge what an effective load is, and then progress that load over time.įor example, if you superset a bicep curl and a tricep extension, you’re working out two opposing muscle groups. Of course, if you know me, you know I'm about to say that feeling alone isn't a good marker for progress.Ĭhasing “the pump” isn’t always productive. It’s well known that the biggest driver of long-term growth is progressive volume overload, not “how our workout feels”. ![]() The justification for these is usually just the incredible pump that they create, and thus the intense feeling of getting a good workout. Tri-sets are sets of 3 exercises performed back-to-back instead of 2.Ģ1’s are a special tri-set consisting of 7 reps of a half range of motion bicep curl, 7 reps of the other half range of motion, and 7 reps of the complete range of motion. I've also seen many variations on the standard format. ![]() For this reason, supersets can be a huge time saver. The point of supersets is to reduce time spent in the gym by allowing one muscle group to work while another one is resting - cutting down on time spent resting. Supersets may involve standard rest periods (resting between each exercise) or they may involve reduced or non-existent rest periods (waiting until all sets are done before resting fully). A commonly used exercise prescription is the use of supersets - a method in which you alternate a pair of exercises, back to back. ![]() ![]() ![]() 2007-38 of the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), which effectively bans motorcycles under 400cc and three-wheelers regardless of displacement from making use of the expressways. That said, an amendment would have to be made to Department Order No. Granted, all this came before the modernization of the LTO’s vehicle classification system. ![]() In 2018, the Court of Appeals affirmed its decision to retain the ban on three-wheelers from using the expressway. It does, after all, come with a powerful 1,330cc engine. In spite of this development towards the modernization of vehicle classification by the LTO, the question of whether or not three-wheeled motorcycles like the CanAm Spyder can enter the expressway remains. Related: LTO updates classifications for three-wheeled vehicles So now that the CanAm Spyder is indeed a motorcycle without a sidecar, it should be granted passage to the same roads as those of standard two-wheelers. Now what does all this mean? Well, for starters, several local government units have implemented ordinances which place heavy restrictions on the roads which tricycles, or vehicles falling under the ‘motorcycle with sidecar’ denomination can pass through. Furthermore, it now falls under the ‘motorcycle without sidecar’ denomination. In a recent circular issued by the LTO, the CanAm Spyder in particular, has been officially classified as a ‘three-wheel motorcycle’. The same story goes for Canadian high performance three-wheeler, CanAm. Officially registered as ‘motorcycle with sidecar’, these machines are in fact symmetrical three-wheelers, and do not make use of a sidecar whatsoever. Up until recently, three-wheelers like the Piaggio Ape and the Bajaj RE occupied a gray area of the Land Transportation Office’s vehicle registration classification system. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() While most of the game is a walking simulator like the first, there are sequences and puzzles that are far and beyond what we saw in Deliver Us The Moon. This happened sporadically throughout the game but not too often. ![]() In saying that, in some cut scenes there are voices speaking but the characters’ mouths are not moving, and this was quite immersion breaking. The voice acting in Deliver Us Mars is outstanding and really sets the tone, emotion and intensity throughout the story. Room for improvement there but overall, the gameplay is excellent. Body movements of NPC’s didn’t always match the terrain when following or were out of sync. The music score is perfect for the style of game and really suits as you explore the levels. Graphically the game is beautiful and is a noticeable upgrade from the first game. The story ends with a similar feeling as the first, leaving you pondering your thoughts with a decent conclusion, but also wondering whether there could be a sequel which is an exciting prospect. There were some heart-racing moments in there too which were great. Without giving away any story spoilers, it’s a nice introduction to Deliver Us Mars and the story gets very immersive with some nice tie-ins to the first game throughout. Use both brains and brawn to overcome mental and physical challenges, find the ARKs, and uncover the motivations of those behind the distress call that brought you here. Traverse and endure its harsh and unforgiving terrain as you quest to discover the secrets left behind by Outward. Board the Zephyr as you journey from Earth to the surface of Mars. After a mysterious distress call from Mars, Earth’s youngest astronaut Kathy Johanson joins the Zephyr and its crew on one last mission: to recover the ARK colony ships stolen by the mysterious Outward, and with them, ensure the survival of humanity. Ten years after the Fortuna mission, humanity is closer than ever to extinction. This game is beautifully crafted with a rich story line that left me wanting more. If you haven’t played the first game, I would recommend playing it first, but you can also go straight into the story of Deliver Us Mars on its own.
