Navy, no other armed force throughout the world either carries the responsibilities or grants the privileges to its senior enlisted personnel comparable to the privileges and responsibilities of a Coast Guard chief petty officer. In the Coast Guard, a chief petty officer carries unique responsibilities.

Simplifying again, we now have: remaining formula concatenates the text "tbrown" to the character, and the result is then concatenated to cell E2, as shown below: "abc.com" in cell E2, the final result is Notice that the reference to cell $E$2 is an absolute reference to prevent this cell from changing as the formula is copied down the column. In this case, LEFT converts "TBROWN" to "tbrown": =LOWER("TBROWN") // returns "tbrown" Simplifying, at this point we have the following: LOWER function converts any uppercase characters in a text string to lowercase characters. The result is the text string "TBROWN", which is returned directly to the LOWER function. We then use the concatenation operator (&) to combine the result from LEFT with cell B5: =LEFT(C5)&B5 With "Tom" in cell C5, the LEFT function returns "T". However, in this case, we only want the first character and it turns out that num_chars defaults to 1, so there is no need to provide a number. Normally, we would also give LEFT the number of characters to extract as num_chars argument. LEFT extracts text from the left side of a text string. In the example shown, the formula in E5 is: from the inside out, the LEFT function is used to get the first character of the first name like this: LEFT(C5) // returns "T" How to change case with UPPER, LOWER, and PROPER - video.The formula in E5, copied down, is: study ![]() There are many ways to create an email address, but the core problem is to join together a name and a domain, as seen in the worksheet shown. A good example of a simple concatenation task is the creation of an email address using a first and last name. In Excel formulas, the primary operator for concatenation is the ampersand (&). Put simply, concatenation is just a fancy name for joining text together. One of the key skills you need to be good with Excel formulas is concatenation. ![]() ![]() ![]() All of these things are commodities on the Dark Web, to be bought, sold, or traded.

![]() The subconscious thing I figured out in "Flume" started giving me more meaning. After growing up in a Neil Young/ Bob Dylan/ Indigo Girls/ John Prine/ subjective-songwriter kind of world, I finally realized I didn't have what they had, or I couldn't do it as well, or I wasn't exploring deep enough. Still, I found these intense personal connections with those words because they flowed out a certain way.īob Dylan wrote good words, but the underrated thing about why he is one of the best, if not the best, songwriter is that his words always sounded good with his voice. In his song "Loaded at the Wrong Door", there are lyrics that are totally heartbreaking and beautiful and heavy, but you really couldn't say exactly what they're about. His words are just about a sound and barely about meaning, but I could find all these crazy meanings in there. JV: You know, the Richard Buckner vibe- and that is a big influence for me. ![]() What's appealing about that strategy to you as a writer? Pitchfork: The lyrics on the new album are impressionistic in the way that they wind around a topic, but you also add real details, as if to ground them. "When I made For Emma*, it was my last chance to see if I could sit down and make something, for myself, that was beautiful."* Given the songs you've written for Bon Iver, do you ever think you should simply apologize to friends in advance if your songs ever put them in an odd spotlight? Pitchfork: The writer David Sedaris has a story about eventually having to tell his family and friends that they would probably be exposed in his work one day, no matter how uncomfortable that might be. It goes to show that even the indie rock world- which is supposed to be about truth and independence from corporate mindfulness or something- is totally subject to the paraphernalia of celebrity. I just want to know that, no matter what the perception of me as a person is, I can live with who I actually am. But I find it funny that the stories are wrong. It's like a giant metaphor for high school- people think or say certain things, and those ideas get amplified via telephone and, all of a sudden, somebody's a dick or a racist. JV: Yeah, I began realizing that it wasn't important for me to concern myself with the perception of truth. Was there a point when you had to let go of the truth behind the creation of For Emma and say, "Fuck it"? For instance, when you were on "Jimmy Fallon" recently, he asked you if your dad's cabin was named Bon Iver. Pitchfork: Stories start with facts but, over the years, they can become distorted myths. Skinny love doesn't have a chance because it's not nourished. ![]() ![]() ![]() JV: I'm not afraid to talk about it, but how do you guarantee it's accurate? To say that "Skinny Love" is about Christy would not be entirely accurate. We dated and she's an incredibly important person that I lived with for a long time, but it's about that time in a relationship that I was going through you're in a relationship because you need help, but that's not necessarily why you should be in a relationship. It took you a while to mention people like Christy- and especially your ex Sara Emma Jensen- in public. Pitchfork: Christy once told me that she immediately knew "Skinny Love" was about her when you first sang it to her. I'd been working on so many songs that spring, but nothing really gathered itself until "Flume" came along. It was this new falsetto thing that I'd been working on but never landed. Justin Vernon: When I made "Flume" one afternoon at Christy 's house, it immediately felt insane. ![]() ![]() ![]() Interestingly, there are only two laser apertures in the front of the unit, which means there must be some kind of beam combiner inside that’s allowing two of the lasers to shoot through one window. Usually these projectors are just packing red (662 nm) and green (532 nm), but this one has a blue (440 nm) laser as well. This particular projector isn’t much different from other’s I’ve seen, except for the fact that it actually has three lasers inside. ![]() This was a 75% price reduction from normal MSRP, and right in that sweet impulse-buy price range.

No need to get on a ladder and string lights on the roof when you can just blast some directed energy up there instead. Just set the projector up in front of your house, and you’re done. ![]() Laser projectors have been one of the most popular Christmas decorations for the last couple of years, and it’s not hard to see why. That’s right, you’ve seen them all over the neighborhood, probably took a few stray beams to the eye, you might even own your own. But Christmas lights and decorations have really started pushing the envelope in terms of technology: addressable RGB LED strands, Bluetooth controlled effects, and as of the last couple years, friggin’ lasers. Not that long ago, this would hardly be exciting news for the readers of Hackaday. It’s in this narrow corridor of time, between the Great Holiday Unloading and the new spring products coming in, that you can find some fantastic deals on Christmas decorations. No more money to be made on the most commercialized of all holidays, so back to business as usual. The Christmas music playing on the overhead speakers switches back to the family friendly Top 40, the store’s decorations get tossed in the compactor, and everything that’s even remotely related to the holiday is put on steep clearance.

Now the plugin would have to make up what's behind that fence completely. An example to illustrate the problem is a fence in front of the camera that is so much out of focus that it's hardly noticeable in the resulting image. 'Depth of Field' tries to compensate for missing information but of course there are situations when this is not enough. But the biggest problem is with no doubt the missing information. This is obvious when you see that the depth buffer can only hold one value per pixel. It's not possible to blur reflections or objects behind transparent objects correctly. There are common unavoidable problems that all post processing depth of field solutions have. ![]() Of course both filters support 16bit image format. Lenscare doesn't produce any such artifacts. Stochastic or super sampled ray traced blurs suffer from artifacts if not enough samples are used. Please note that the After Effects version was honestly adjusted to look as good as possible. The artifacts described above can be seen pretty good in the After Effects version. Here is a comparison of the After Effects standard depth of Field filter compared to Lenscares. Usually this results in ugly glow effects in regions with great differences in depth. A common mistake for 'depth of field' filters is to 'blur' all the surrounding pixels without regards to their depth values. They are just methods that look nice in some situations but fail in others. They don't do their names justice because their algorithms are not physically based. Fortunately for us most don't simulate camera effects properly. Plenty depth of field and out of focus solutions are available. ![]() ![]() Of course Lenscare takes advantage of multiple cpus if present. Lenscares dof: 6 seconds + 4min no dof Brazil render). Check out this comparison of Brazils depth of field with Lenscares. This is a big advantage especially with high quality global illuminated renders. In a lot of situations you can save hours of render time for just a couple of seconds per frame in post processing. 'Depth of Field' is very fast for what it does. 'Out of Focus' effects is a speedy 2d blur and can compete with any existing solution. ![]() ![]() Designed by: Emma Noble The Tailor of Gloucester 2018 50p Coin 2018.

After a slow start, the Crown Royal Noble Collection has had one of the best and most interesting string of releases in Canadian whisky - probably the most impressive since early Forty Creek - and I might dare to wager that the last few years have been even better. According to Fourth Creek’s Master Distiller, Bill Ashburn, the whisky was slowly redistilled in four batches. It started out as whisky that had become to woody because of prolonged aging in barrels. Technically this is a 5 YO whisky, even though it was distilled from whiskies that were far older. ![]() Innovation of the Year went to the truly original Forty Creek Master’s Cut, made by blending whiskies, some from as far back as 1996, then re-distilling them and re-maturing them for five more years.
