God richly bless you Yaw Perbi, MD, MA (Global Leadership) for the mentoring! To my Growth Mastermind Class, I am grateful to have been part of the journey and lessons from the experiences will always be a reminder. Most importantly, I agree with John C Maxwell when he says, “you must know yourself to grow yourself.” ![]() Those sessions allowed us to think deeply about our lives while reflecting on ways to grow in character, deal with our weaknesses, solve problems as well as add values to others.Īs a young leader, I now appreciate the importance of having a plan for my personal growth and the sacrifices it requires to grow deep and lead leaders. Over that period, I Iearnt the ‘15 Invaluable Laws of Growth’ and had practical sessions to brainstorm effective ways to grow personally and in all dimensions. It was definitely mind-boggling and an enriching experience. Thanks to the Yaw Perbi Team, I began the year with a growth mindset and was privileged to have been part of a 8 weeks ‘Growth Mastermind’ Class. “To grow anything, including economies, we need to grow people first.” ~ Yaw Perbi, MD, MA (Global Leadership).

Russell said that, unfortunately and frustratingly, nearly all of those sent in for analysis are just rocks. Many of the prospective meteorites are sent to Sara Russell, a professor of cosmic mineralogy and planetary science at the Natural History Museum in London, which has one of the world’s largest collections with about 5,000 specimens. “They are something that appeals to everyone, you don’t have to any deep scientific background to understand them and let them spark your imagination. “People in their 20s, 30s and 40s are buying them,” she said. He added: “If you’re friends with him, it’s an obvious gift.”Ĭassandra Hatton, who oversees space auctions for rival auction house Sotheby’s, said meteorites have experienced a jump in popularity with younger buyers who are collecting because they find it “super-cool to have something from space”. Hyslop said he was “sure he has meteorites in his collection, but I wouldn’t like to say that with any authority”. Other collectors are said to include: film director Steven Spielberg Nicolas Cage, who starred in Color Out of Space, a 2019 film about a meteorite that brings alien life to small-town Massachusetts illusionist Uri Geller and the cellist Yo-Yo Ma.Įlon Musk, the world’s richest person and chief executive of electric carmaker Tesla and rocket company SpaceX, is also said to be a big collector.

While it is necessary to collect all the sigils to complete the game properly, the game's world structure, featuring three main worlds that act as hubs and a centralized area that connects these three, allows the player to leave puzzles for later and try other puzzles. Special star sigils can be found by unique solutions to some puzzles, allowing the player to access additional puzzles. Once the sigils for a given door or system have been obtained, they must then use the sigils to assemble a tiling puzzle to unlock that system. The player's progress through the game is limited by doors or other security systems that require the collection of a number of specific sigil pieces. Later, the player gains access to a device that can create a time recording of their actions, such that they can then interact with this recording to complete tasks, such as having the clone stand atop a switch to keep it activated for some time. ![]() Boxes let the player climb to higher levels or to block the path of drones, among other factors, and large fans that can launch the player or other objects across the puzzle. ![]() Portable crystalline refractors allow the player to activate light-based switches. As the player collects sigils and completes more puzzles, new puzzle elements become available. Drones and turrets can be disabled using portable jammer units, which can also disable force-field walls that block the player's path. These include computer-controlled drones that will detonate if they are too close to the player, killing them, and wall-mounted turrets that will shoot down the player if they get too close if the player dies this way, they are reset to the start of the specific puzzle. The puzzles require the player to collect tetromino-shaped " sigils" by navigating enclosed areas and overcoming obstacles within them. These environments interlock greenery, desert, and stone ruins with futuristic technology. The player takes the role of a robot with a seemingly human consciousness as they explore a number of environments that include over 120 puzzles. The Talos Principle is a narrative-based puzzle game, played from a first- or third-person perspective.

Make sure to include a sample file and the size / name of the involved hoop, and I will be able to incorporate a fix on short notice.Īfter some grace period the iOS apps StitchBuddy View and StitchBuddy HD will be updated in near future. Although I'm confident about the current implementation, please contact me by email if you face problems like unrecognized hoops in StitchBuddy or wrong hoop assignments. To all MC500e users: Despite contradicting information I was receiving about the new hoops, I decided not to postpone this release any longer. Given Apple's free update policy for the last years I consider this decision a fair move. More details about changes can be found in the version history.įor several reasons I had to increase StitchBuddy's software requirement to OS X 10.7 (" Lion"): This version of OS X was introduced five years ago, and it became too complex to support older OS X versions anymore. So StitchBuddy is looking better than ever on high-resolution displays. I just released StitchBuddy v2.11 for Mac: This update is supporting new hoops of the embroidery machine Janome MC500e and is introducing a new, flat-styled toolbar with support of Retina displays. Please leave a rating / review in Apple’s Mac App Store to support StitchBuddy's development! Please be aware that unfortunately I had to remove the function to delete hidden system files from USB sticks as it did not comply with store guidelines, and StitchBuddy requires OS X 10.9 or higher, now. And if you decide to buy the unlimited StitchBuddy Pro version after your test, registration is only another click away and without delays instantly active.Īnd no worries for existing customers: In the past all StitchBuddy updates were provided for free, and this is not going to change: Install StitchBuddy's free version from the Mac App Store, and it will recognize your existing license code and unlock the Pro version with no additional charge. This version offers all functions, but can only save designs up to 1,000 stitches. Starting today with version 2.12.0 StitchBuddy for Mac is exclusively distributed via Apple's Mac App Store, providing an even better user experience: With one click you can download and install the free version, which updates completely automatically. How about you, do you know Automator?

The instruments have just been inspected by NASA and a group of independent technical experts, as part of a formal Systems Integration Review of all TESS components, which they passed successfully.Įach of the four cameras has a field of view that is more than five times greater than that of the camera flown on the earlier planet-hunting Kepler space observatory mission, according to TESS Principal Investigator George Ricker, senior research scientist at the MIT Kavli Institute. The four cameras have been mounted onto the camera plate, and successful operation with the flight computer has been demonstrated. The cameras were recently delivered to Dulles, Virginia-based aerospace company Orbital ATK, where they will be integrated onto the satellite. The overall process of designing, fabricating, and testing the cameras at MIT has taken four years to complete. ![]() The satellite’s four cameras, developed by researchers at MIT’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research and the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, are equipped with large-aperture wide-angle lenses designed to survey the entire sky.Įach camera consists of a lens assembly containing seven optical elements and a detector with four charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor chips. It will search for temporary drops in brightness caused by an exoplanet passing in front of its host star, as viewed from Earth. “The scientific community is eagerly awaiting the launch of TESS and the first data release in 2018,” says Sara Seager, the Class of 1941 Professor of Planetary Sciences at MIT and deputy lead of the TESS Science Office.ĭuring its two-year mission, TESS, which is being led by MIT and managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, will monitor the brightness of more than 200,000 stars. It will detect small rock-and-ice planets orbiting a diverse range of stars, including rocky worlds in the habitable zones of their host stars. TESS is expected to catalog a sample of around 500 Earth-sized and “super Earth” planets, or those with radii less than twice that of Earth. These will range from Earth-sized planets to much larger gas giants. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), due to launch in 2018, will travel through space, identifying more than 20,000 extrasolar planets. A NASA mission designed to explore the stars in search of planets outside of our solar system is a step closer to launch, now that its four cameras have been completed by researchers at MIT. ![]() ![]() "Little planets" are done by starting the stereographic mapping at the "south pole" of the sphere (pitch=-90). In the Move/Drag tab, set the pitch to -90. In the Projection tab, choose stereographic. Load the equirectangular, setting the lens type to equirectangular. A stereographic remapping can be created in Hugin, with the Mathmap plugin in the Gimp, or with the Photoshop Flexify plugin. But this will work best if you have the full sphere to work with. Or you can fill in the missing "floor" area with black/white and get a donut result. You can try faking it with a 360° pano reshaped to a 2:1 rectangle, but this often doesn't look good. But this type of mapping is much better with an equirectangular 360x180 pano as the starting point. So, these little planets don't look so squashed to the circle. Stereographic remapping is conformal angles are preserved, so the shape of things above the horizon are more recognizable than with a polar remapping. ![]() If done with an equirectangular panorama, it looks like this: This type of panorama will have a very circular world, without a lot of details outside that circle. ( Filter -> Distort -> Polar coordinates). You then perform three steps (either separately in Photoshop, or all at once with the Polar Coords filter in the Gimp):Īpply Cartesian-> Polar remapping. To eliminate both the side and center seam, though, you have to use an equirectangular (360ºx180º full spherical pano). If you want to eliminate the side seam, start with a 360º cylindrical pano (regular pano) or mirror image your photo, and combine the two side-by-side so the left edge can wrap around and join seamlessly with the right. In the example planet by Radig, on the right side, at 3:00, you can see the seam of where the left and right edges of his pano met, and at the center, where the "floor" (nadir) isn't covered, so he started with a non-360 cylindrical panorama. Polar Little PlanetsĪ polar little planet is the easiest kind to make because you can do it with any image if you don't mind a visible seam. They have different requirements and techniques, but both typically begin with a stitched panorama that is then remapped to a different projection. The example image here is polar, the Flickr group images are both, and the one asked about in the linked "duplicate" post, How to do 360 polar pano in photography? is a stereographic "little sky". ![]() There are actually two common types of "little planet" images: polar and stereographic. ![]() |
