People only believe in magic when they dont understand whats actually happening. It is a simple and handy application that can be used to remove grains from digital photos. The most important thing that affects the video processing result is the AI model, which is explained in detail here. But that’s just my understanding in layman’s terms. In practice, it’s not a linear 70 ratio, but more like 8 to 1, and you’ll observe it yourself in the bitrate when your render is complete. Use deep learning to increase video frame rate without artifacts. A CRF of 14 (good for 4k 30fps) is many, many times less compressed and squashed down than a CRF of 20 (good for HD 24fps). There is also the newly introduced frame rate conversion Restore old videos naturally without adding visual artifacts, recover realistic details from old or degraded sources, and eliminate compression artifacts. Visual artifacts are significantly reduced compared to traditional deinterlacing. Use deep learning to convert interlaced video to progressive video while preserving image clarity. Then Ill run through the rest of the season using the same settings I tested with. It looks like Severe Noise does the best job removing all the grain.

Above all, we share a love for Blake's Seven it seems amazing now that out of one 50 minute programme introduced in the new year of 1978 has managed to evolve such a rich world of characters and ideas. The Committee range in age from 19 to 27 so we can consider ourselves reasonably flexible. Series or what kind of cat does Gareth Thomas have! We enjoy the serious discussion but also enjoy the more light-hearted side too. We have an enthusiastic Committee of seven (there must be something significant in that!) We would all like to create a new Horizon of adventures and ideas around Blake's Seven and we would like to hear from, all members on subjects ranging from: How the club is/could be run, to changes in the scope of the Horizon is a new club which has no connection with any other club or society.

The Return of Donna Troyĭonna Troy had discovered that, like every other person after the destruction of the multiverse, she was an amalgam of every alternate version of Donna Troy in the former realities. In her attempts to repair herself and call for aid from other androids, she caused a Superbot to go rogue during a meeting of the Teen Titans and Young Justice Donna and Omen were killed during the attempts to stop it. As such, a coronation was held and Donna was thereafter referred to as Princess Donna amongst the Amazons.Īn android named Indigo appeared, badly damaged and in need of repair. ![]() Consequently, Hippolyta decreed that Donna, as her daughter, would be granted the privilege of a royal station and a title. She was then adopted as a daughter of Hippolyta. Together with Wonder Woman, Hippolyta and Wally helped restore the life of Donna Troy, breaking her out of the curse that Dark Angel had bound her to. The tragedy caused Dark Angel to appear and make Donna start anew with a totally different life, causing everyone but Hippolyta and Wally West to forget her existence as the Donna Troy who became Wonder Girl and Troia. She turned to teammate Kyle Rayner for comfort, but left him after Terry, Robert and Jenny Long, (Terry's daughter from his first marriage) were killed in a tragic car accident. Terry later divorced Donna citing that her superhero role put the family in danger and gained sole custody of their son. She was inducted into the Darkstars and rejoined the Teen Titans as a Darkstar. She later requested for her powers to be returned but was denied. Donna voluntarily gave up her powers to prevent this. This incited the Team Titans group from the future to confront her, claiming that her son would threaten the future as Lord Chaos. She married Terry Long, a college professor, and soon became pregnant. ![]() Donna became one of the founding members of the Teen Titans, even suggesting the name of the group from a residual memory. When Donna experienced having superhuman powers and abilities, she adopted the identity of Wonder Girl. She was returned to Earth at age thirteen, where her memories of New Cronus were erased until such a time that she would return and take her place among the Seeds as gods. Each one was given the name of a place that worshiped the Titans, and Donna was given the last name of Troy in homage to the ancient city. Donna remembered being rescued from a fire by the goddess Rhea who, being one of the mythological Titans, brought her to New Cronus and raised her as one of twelve Titan Seeds, orphans from various planets who would have died if Rhea had not saved them. After Donna's adoptive father Carl Stacey was killed in a work-related accident, her adoptive mother Fay Stacey gave her up for adoption again, unable to raise the toddler because of mounting expenses. ![]() In one of the lives she ended up living, Donna was orphaned by her birth mother, Dorothy Hinckley, a dying unwed teen who had given her up for adoption. But it would not be until the intervention of Wonder Woman, Hippolyta, and the Flash years later that she would learn this. ![]() She was abducted by Dark Angel who mistook her for the real Diana, and cursed her to experience a cycle of countless tragic lives, given the name Donna Troy as a cruel joke to her origins. Donna was created to be a playmate for the young Wonder Woman by the sorceress Magala, who used a magical mirror to create a duplicate of Diana, though with her own personality. ![]() ![]() ![]() We think these changes make the weapons more interesting to use and fight against, with scientists needing to keep the pressure on in order to deal good damage with the poison dart rifle or to fully tranquillize with the tranq pistol. Once a dinosaur exits the fully tranquillized state, they have a quarter of their stamina automatically restored. Yes, the tyrants are back to tail dragging.īeing fully tranquillized lasts for 3 seconds, but can be extended slightly if a scientist keeps shooting tranq darts into their target. However, it is ruthlessly effective at removing the stamina of enemies (if you can manage to hit them!).ĭraining all of a dinosaur's stamina with tranquillizers puts them into the fully tranquillized state, which prevents stamina recovery and slows their movements. Unlike the poison dart rifle, the tranquillizer pistol barely deals any damage. The "dartgun" is now officially labelled the Tranquillizer Pistol and is focused purely on stamina drain. However, once you are fully dosed with poison there is no going back. Dinosaurs can avoid reaching this state by roaring, which removes half of the poison dosage. After two seconds of lumbering around they succumb to the poison and die. Once a dinosaur has been hit by enough poison darts, they are fully dosed and enter the poisoned death state. Basically, poison darts inflict the poisoned status effect, where each consecutive dart hit deals more damage if you hit them quick enough (up to a point). ![]() We have made the damage numbers better communicate how the dosage mechanic works with this weapon, where successive shots can deal more damage. ![]() The "tranq rifle" is now the Poison Dart Rifle, and is designed around sustained damage dealing. They are less about damage over time, more focused on specific status effects. Small fix/tweak to a Cryo mutation meshĪfter much deliberation, we decided to revamp the dart-based weapons to make it clearer what each does and give the more defined roles.Improved facial animation weighting on Trapper character models.Fixed polarized sunglasses having same colour as hipster sunglasses.Resolved issues with Deformus, Trickster, Imperius, Reflected Ruby Cerato items.Fixed a lighting error on GTTC RuthlessSnow.Fixed turrets in GTTC mode being non-hostile.Set a proportional limit of 4 on Bruisers in Get To The Chopper mode by default.Improved server stability, fixed some verbose logging that was causing slowdown.Survival mode: fixed the upgraded sniper rifle having swapped 3rd and 1st person firing sounds.Added new status effect icons that show for dinos when they have the poison status from the poison dart rifle.Fixed dinos sometimes not triggering correct sounds / animations when entering death state from poison darts.Fixed an issue where kill credit was not shown correctly for dart kills in some cases.Fixed cryo acid pools being able to overlap each other. ![]()
![]() ![]() But transhumanists predict that a convergence of new technologies will soon allow people to control and fundamentally change their bodies and minds. Up to this point, they say, humans have largely worked to control and shape their exterior environments because they were powerless to do more. To those who support human enhancement, many of whom call themselves transhumanists, technological breakthroughs like these are springboards not only to healing people but to changing and improving humanity. The new gene-splicing technique “CRISPR” greatly improves scientists’ ability to accurately and efficiently “edit” the human genome. One of the most important developments in recent years involves a new gene-splicing technique called “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats.” Known by its acronym, CRISPR, this new method greatly improves scientists’ ability to accurately and efficiently “edit” the human genome, in both embryos and adults. ![]() Still others have created synthetic blood substitutes, which could soon be used in human patients. Other scientists successfully linked a paralyzed man’s brain to a computer chip, which helped restore partial movement of previously non-responsive limbs. ![]() In the last few years, for instance, researchers have implanted artificial retinas to give blind patients partial sight. It seems that each week or so, the headlines herald a new medical or scientific breakthrough. Indeed, science is already making rapid progress in new restorative and therapeutic technologies that could, in theory, have implications for human enhancement. This enhancement revolution, if and when it comes, may well be prompted by ongoing efforts to aid people with disabilities and heal the sick. Others speak of “post-humanity,” and predict that dramatic advances in genetic engineering and machine technology may ultimately allow people to become conscious machines – not recognizably human, at least on the outside. ![]() Some talk about what might be called “humanity plus” – people who are still recognizably human, but much smarter, stronger and healthier. In the next two or three decades, people may have the option to change themselves and their children in ways that, up to now, have existed largely in the minds of science fiction writers and creators of comic book superheroes.īoth advocates for and opponents of human enhancement spin a number of possible scenarios. “We’re fast approaching the moment when humans and machines merge,” Time magazine declared in its 2011 issue.īut thanks to recent scientific developments in areas such as biotechnology, information technology and nanotechnology, humanity may be on the cusp of an enhancement revolution. Even when these interventions have tried to improve on nature – say with anabolic steroids to stimulate muscle growth or drugs such as Ritalin to sharpen focus – the results have tended to be relatively modest and incremental. Up to this point in history, however, most biomedical interventions, whether successful or not, have attempted to restore something perceived to be deficient, such as vision, hearing or mobility. People have been trying to enhance their physical and mental capabilities for thousands of years, sometimes successfully – and sometimes with inconclusive, comic and even tragic results. Human enhancement is at least as old as human civilization. ![]() ![]() and dedication to their role and we are very proud of our company indeed.

He was a sportsman, was Godfrey, down to his marrow, and he wouldn’t have stopped his training and let in his skipper if it were not for some cause that was too strong for him. A boat skipper is a person that commands a boat and its crew. I did return, not long ago, but unfortunately the skippers were dead, all but one, a mate in the old days, a skipper when I met him, and when I left him a cripple who would never walk again. Just as the captain of a ship is informally called a skipper, the captain of a club can share the same title. Well, we took him on board, this man, and he and the skipper had some long talks in the cabin. ‘Mugridge,’ sez ’e to me, ‘Mugridge,’ sez ’e, ‘you’ve missed yer vokytion.’ ‘An’ ’ow’s that? There was my last skipper-w’y I thought nothin’ of droppin’ down in the cabin for a little chat and a friendly glass. Why, I was first reserve for England against Wales, and I’ve skippered the ’Varsity all this year. (Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson) The skipper was not displeased with the compliment, and went on:-When we got past the Bosphorus the men began to grumble some o' them, the Roumanians, came and asked me to heave overboard a big box which had been put on board by a queer lookin' old man just before we had started frae London.Īnd indeed bad as his clothes were and coarsely as he spoke, he had none of the appearance of a man who sailed before the mast, but seemed like a mate or skipper accustomed to be obeyed or to strike. (Gulliver's Travels into several remote nations of the world, by Jonathan Swift) ![]() However, a malicious rogue of a skipper went to an officer, and pointing to me, told him, I had not yet trampled on the crucifix but the other, who had received instructions to let me pass, gave the rascal twenty strokes on the shoulders with a bamboo after which I was no more troubled with such questions. (The Return of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)īut there were coastwise skippers I would have returned and killed when a man’s strength came to me, only the lines of my life were cast at the time in other places. : to be the person who leads or manages (a team) He skippered the team to their latest World Series win. : to be the captain of (a ship or boat) The boat was skippered by a skilled veteran sailor.
