It is a structured programming language (similar to C) and supports many common C standard library functions, and also certain UNIX system calls and functions. The Octave language is an interpreted programming language. Octave includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in addition to the traditional Command Line Interface (CLI) see #User interfaces for details.Alternatively, gnuplot can be used for the same purpose.

Some countries have been taking steps to address the DF threats (e.g., India, China, Singapore, South Korea, USA, UK, Japan, EU). Most of the harm caused by malicious deepfakes relates to various violations and crimes and can be regulated by the legislation in countries, part of the potential harm is not covered by legal acts. financial fraud, theft, deception, and many more.manipulating evidence materials in criminal investigations.harm to childhood: child pornography and other prohibited sexual practices.violation of intellectual property rights.manipulation of election campaigns results.distortion and manipulating public opinion.Because of their rapid spread, deepfakes can be used for malicious and criminal aims, for example: It means that anyone can pay to encrypted chat groups on Telegram to order the creation of custom pornographic deepfakes, including sexualization of children.Īdvances in deepfake technology offer many opportunities for a variety of aims both with positive (in art, education, autonomy, medicine, film industry, e-commerce, etc.) or negative consequences. For instance, there are encrypted chat groups on Telegram that do business. The widespread dissemination of fake and unverified information through online platforms and with manipulation tools, including deepfakes, can be considered as leading to new types of information wars. They can pose threats both to an individual or a group of people, and create more serious threats in the information space, affecting national interests. The number of deepfake videos detected up to December 2020 amounts to 85,047 according to Sensity Company Report “The State of Deepfakes 2020: Updates on Statistics and Trends”.ĭeepfakes can carry serious risks, the range of which is quite wide. The policy proposal addresses some key challenges.Ĭombined with the reach and speed of the Internet, a huge number of news channels, social networks and various applications, the creation, distribution, and circulation of deepfakes can reach millions of people relatively quickly. ![]() in relation to malicious and harmful deepfakes 2) intensification of subject matter scientific research, systematization of knowledge and creation of appropriate terminology and 3) strengthening a dialogue and cooperation with key international organizations. PB’s proposal suggests some practical recommendations in three main directions: 1) elaboration of common approaches to development of soft law and regulatory policy instruments to cope with current challenges of deepfakes through launching a global initiative with participation of governments (public institutions), technology companies, digital platforms, and social media, among others. A priority concern is how to regulate issues related to deepfakes and digital content forgery technology as along with positive aspects, deepfakes can create risks and threats in the financial sphere, social communications, public relations and at the political level as well. Advances in software and modern digital tools have facilitated the rapid generation, commoditization and proliferation of deepfakes of all types and aims. Given the nature of Generative-Adversarial Networks (GAN) and other advanced technologies, deepfakes are hardly to be detected. Nowadays deepfakes tend to erase the divide between true and false content. ![]() This Policy Brief (PB) highlights and examines challenges and impacts of deep manipulated media and texts (known as “deepfakes”, hereinafter referred as DFs) on governments, society, business. ![]() The Collectors' Guide to Postal Stationery.Postal stationery: A Collector's guide to a Fascinating World-Wide Philatelic Pursuit.Higgins & Gage World Postal Stationery Catalog.United States: United Postal Stationery Society.Switzerland: Swiss Postal Stationery Collectors Society / Schweizerischer Ganzsachen-Sammler-Verein (SGSSV).Netherlands: Nederlandse Vereniging van Poststukken.Great Britain / UK: Postal Stationery Society of Great Britain, The Postal Stationery Society.Germany: Berliner Ganzsachen-Sammler-Verein.Canada: British North American Philatelic Society Postal Stationery Study Group.Belgium: Societe Belge de l'Entier Postal.Australia: The Postal Stationery Society of Australia. ![]() These societies provide information, publications and guidance to those who are interested. The current, but now dated, principal encyclopedic work is the nineteen volume Higgins & Gage World Postal Stationery Catalog.Ĭollectors of postal stationery may seek out postal stationery societies or study groups in other countries. Many country-specific stamp catalogs list postal stationery and there are books devoted to the postal stationery of individual countries. ![]() Thus most collectors prefer entires to cut squares. The manner in which the stamped envelope is cut out (defined by the term " knife") vanishes on a cut square. As a result, one cannot tell from a cut square what specific envelope it came from and, many times, the cancellation information. In the 19th century the practice was to collect " cut squares" (or cut-outs in the UK) which involved clipping the embossed indicia from a postal envelope. Most postal stationery pieces are collected as entires, that is, the whole card, sheet or envelope. Although unlike letter cards they can come unstamped and be issued by private companies. An aerogram is a thin, lightweight piece foldable paper that is used for writing letters and sending them via airmail. Although the format was not officially endorsed by the Universal Postal Union until 1952. A variation of the letter card called an aerogram was introduced in 1933 by a Lieutenant Colonel while he was doing a tour in the Middle East theatre. Letter cards had the advantage of providing twice the room for writing a message then postal cards and were more private due to being folded over. Great Britain issued their first official letter cards in 1892 and Newfoundland introduced small reply cards starting in 1912. The format was first issued by Belgium in 1882. A letter card is a postal stationery item consisting of a folded card with a prepaid imprinted stamp. ĭespite its popularity, the postal card was soon followed by the letter card. To the point that Great Britain, Finland, Switzerland and Württemberg had all issued postal cards by 1871. They quickly caught on due to being mostly uniform and less bulky then traditional letters. Postal cards are a type of cardstock that contains an imprinted stamp or indicium. The next innovation in postal stationery came in 1869 with the introduction of the postal card in Austria-Hungry. With Cyprus being the last country to stop their use in 1991. Although all the countries have stopped producing then due to declining sales. Wrappers were first introduced in 1961 by the United States, which was followed by 110 other countries in total. Another form of stamped envelopes are so called wrappers, a form of postal stationery envelope that can be used to prepay the cost of delivery for a newspaper or periodical. Although none of have been issued in the United States due to differences in mail registration procedures. A variation of the stamped envelope, a registered envelope, has been widely used throughout Great Britain and the British Commonwealth. Including the United States, which released the Nesbitt series of stamped envelopes in 1853. The first modern form of postal stationery was the stamped, or postal stationery, envelope created by the United Kingdom around 1841. Other early examples include British newspaper stamps that were first issued in 1712, 25-centime letter sheets that were issued in 1790 by the government of Luxembourg, and Australian postal stationery that predated more well known issues like the British Mulready stationery that was introduced in 1840. Postal stationery has been in use since at least 1608 with folded letters bearing the coat of arms Venice. I would have tried to spend more time in the jacuzzi or the steam room, but I guess I’ll just have to come back one day (oh darn)! If I would change anything for next time, I would definitely get an earlier appointment and try a different massage.This website uses cookies so that we can remember you and understand how you and other visitors use this website, and in order improve the user experience.īy using this website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Notice. ![]() I would love to come back to the Wynn Las Vegas Spa one day! I felt like I didn’t have enough time to really enough all the spa amenities since I had a late appointment and they close at 7:00 pm. So, it never feels like the money I spent was worth it, you know? Even though I love getting massages, I still think in the back of my mind that I just spent hundreds of dollars just to get a massage for 50 minutes. ![]() I don’t know if I can really say that it was great, but I feel like that about all massages (lol). I felt like I could have just fallen asleep! Regarding the massage itself, it was overall was pretty good. The massage room was fairly dark for my taste. It’s nice to have both types of experiences and I definitely utilized both areas. The women’s lounge area is more bright and leaned more toward the warmer neutral tones. It’s designed with these deep blues and purples that make you feel like you’re in space within the stars. The co-ed lounge area is probably the most gorgeous room I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love all of the lounge and seating areas of the spa. So, I appreciated that they tried to make my day extra special. I feel that the bigger hotel you stay at, the less personal they are with the guests. I thought that was really nice of them since I wasn’t expecting it from such a big hotel. Something sweet that the spa did was give me a box of chocolates since it was my birthday. Keep in mind that tax and tip will be calculated at the original $180 price. So, since I had $100 credit, my massage would only really cost me $80 + tax/tip. If you’re curious about the other massages and services, you can find the full price list here or you can also find it below. If you go on the weekend, it’ll cost you $190. I got the 50-min Custom Massage and it cost me $180 (since it was on a weekday). Since this is the Wynn after all, the prices aren’t going to be in your typical everyday affordable range. Lastly, I wanted to review it for the blog of course! If you’re like me, I always want to see what the spa looks like before I book an appointment so I took a bunch of pictures for you all. Second, I’ve tried the spa at the Encore so I was curious to see if the spa at the Wynn was going to be just as good. By booking my room through the FHR program, I was given a $100 spa credit to use during my stay along with free breakfast and a late check-out. At that time, Wynn was a bit cheaper than Encore so I decided to go with Wynn. First, I knew that I wanted to stay at the Wynn or Encore so I booked my hotel stay through the A mex Fine Hotels and Resorts Program (FHR). There are a couple of reasons why I specifically picked the Wynn Las Vegas Spa as my birthday present to myself. To make a reservation, feel free to call them at (702) 770-3900 or click here.īooking Through Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts Make sure you always double-check the website in case their hours may change. The spa is open from 8:00 am-7:00 pm every day. I never got the chance to visit the old one but the new renovation is gorgeous! When I checked in, the receptionist told me that during the pandemic, the Wynn Las Vegas Spa did a major renovation so I was going to be in for a real treat. ![]() I absolutely love getting massages and couldn’t have been more excited to finally try the one at the Wynn. For my birthday last month, I decided to treat myself and go visit the Wynn Las Vegas Spa to get a much-needed massage. ![]() One such example is the Tomahawk Missile, a long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile introduced by General Dynamics in the 1970s designed as a medium-to-long range, low altitude missile that can be launched from a surface platform. Cruise missiles may be fired from land-based platforms such as missile installations or heavy trucks, air-based platforms such as heavy bombers, or sea-based platforms such as guided missile destroyers and submarines. Upon reaching its target, it explodes, causing massive damage to local infrastructure, killing or maiming any living being within the blast radius and surrounding area.Ĭruise missiles can be launched from a considerable distance, with only intercontinental ballistic missiles and long-endurance bombing missions having further reach. It is designed to fly itself to a predetermined target, usually by multiple means of guidance. In the 1983 episode Smaller Than Life from the TV series Magnum P.I., a kid is seen playing Missile Command on an Atari 800.Real life example of the BGM-109 cruise missile in flight.Ī Cruise Missile is a self-propelled aircraft containing a significant explosive payload.Ironically, the movies are based on a nuclear war where nukes fell from the skies and destroyed every city on earth, and John, who will eventually be the leader of the Resistance, is actually playing the game, showing a vision of things to come. In the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day, John Connor is shown playing Missile Command at the arcade at the mall.The view is then seen from inside the house, and the green lines hitting the window and exploding into circles look a lot like the shots in the game. In the episode in which Lisa develops a crush on school bully Nelson Muntz, he and his friends are seen hurling eggs at the window of the house of Principal Skinner. The game appears to have been parodied in the TV series The Simpsons.Senior Atari engineer Steve Calfee is responsible for suggesting the display of the final words THE END following the explosion when the last city is destroyed. When the game was designed, the cities in Missile Command were intended to represent six cities on the California coast: Eureca, San Francisco, San Lois Obispo, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and San Diego. According to designer Rich Adam they never managed to make the concept fun. It was supposed to be a two-player-variant in which two opponents defend and attack simultaneously. ![]() The successor Missile Command 2 was in development, but was never released to arcades. Also, extra life or extra city every 20,000 points had to be removed because the game became far too easy to complete. This had to go as the game was slowing down considerably. In the original game, When you hit an enemy missile the enemy missile also produced a large explosion. Some things had to be sacrificed in order to make the game playable on a standard Amiga A500. As author says it is still not an exact port. ![]() The closest adaptation of arcade version on Amiga was port by Kevin Gallagher which was published on Aminet on 8th of June 2020. There were many attempts to create freeware remakes or clones however true arcade port was never procured. Amiga versionĪn Amiga version of original Missile Command officially never appeared. Missile Command appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott. ![]() ![]() ![]() Menus Icon Bar Menu Icon Accordion Tabs Vertical Tabs Tab Headers Full Page Tabs Hover Tabs Top Navigation Responsive Topnav Split Navigation Navbar with Icons Search Menu Search Bar Fixed Sidebar Side Navigation Responsive Sidebar Fullscreen Navigation Off-Canvas Menu Hover Sidenav Buttons Sidebar with Icons Horizontal Scroll Menu Vertical Menu Bottom Navigation Responsive Bottom Nav Bottom Border Nav Links Right Aligned Menu Links Centered Menu Link Equal Width Menu Links Fixed Menu Slide Down Bar on Scroll Hide Navbar on Scroll Shrink Navbar on Scroll Sticky Navbar Navbar on Image Hover Dropdowns Click Dropdowns Cascading Dropdown Dropdown in Topnav Dropdown in Sidenav Resp Navbar Dropdown Subnavigation Menu Dropup Mega Menu Mobile Menu Curtain Menu Collapsed Sidebar Collapsed Sidepanel Pagination Breadcrumbs Button Group Vertical Button Group Sticky Social Bar Pill Navigation Responsive Header Kaleidoscope partner Doug Gross has not responded to an Eater Atlanta request for comment.

Look, I rest my roasts, but for a steak I dig in while its searing is still sizzling and crisp. In the home kitchen that can be a pretty unachievable reality and while resting, your cut either keeps cooking, or you end up with a wonderfully rested cold meal. Especially if you can drop the outside temp to around 180℉/82℃ to stop carryover cooking and keep it at that temp while it rests. The rule, allow something to rest for half the time it spent cooking, which is a pretty good rule of thumb. You can always cook a little longer, it is somewhat more difficult to un-cook anything.įinally resting. Keeping in mind the object is to avoid over cooking more than under cooking. So when it comes to timing, it's a by feel thing that you will need to learn based on your world, your ingredients and your kitchen. Ones idea of what is cooked to perfection can get a little skewed and there are so many variables, thickness of cuts, quality of cuts, types of ovens, skillets and power sources ie electric, gas, wood or induction. Sure everything has its sweet spot when it comes to timing, its a hard piece of information to google. So you have hit a sweet drive and you are on the green, now don't go and stuff up the putt and over cook the thing which brings us to timing. Start with these simple steps and you are off to a good start, you pretty much have it in the bag. Not over, and over, and over like some pancake flipper at a street fair. Sear one side, checking to see the perfect amount of browning and caramelization usually achieved in 2 to 3 minutes and turn only once! Just ONCE.(how wonderfully vague) Hot pan means less time wasted and guess work and the less time hot oil sits in a hot pan, the better for everyone involved. If you want a cold pan cold oil and heat it up together than fine, but it means you're standing around watching a pan of oil for 5 minutes waiting for the "perfect shimmer" to the oil. ![]() This is a rule just as searing is a rule.
