Reprogramming Your Nespresso Machine for Larger Servings So let’s move on to find out how to reprogram these clever little machines to produce a big boy size cup of coffee… or better described as an extra long Lungo shot, which would be similar to an Americano but just a bit more bitter. Out of the box, your Nespresso machine brew buttons are preprogrammed to produce the following cup volumes:Īs you can see, that’s not a whole lot of brewed coffee! If you are used to drinking cups of coffee from an 8oz mug then your cup is only half full with the lungo pull! The Nespresso Machine Brew Buttons Can Be Adjusted!Īs you’re aware if you read our post about the differences between espresso, ristretto, and lungo coffee shots, most Nespresso machines have two buttons that determine the volume of the shot the machine produces during each use: an espresso button for a short shot and a lungo button for a longer shot.īut for lazy folks like me who still need more coffee than even the lungo button can provide but can’t be bothered to just brew another dang cup, there’s great news: reprogramming one or both of these buttons to produce a larger shot volume is a surprisingly simple process. Luckily, there is an incredibly simple solution: reprogramming the shot volume for your Nespresso machine’s brew buttons. If there is one (and I mean only one!) downside to Nespresso machines, it’s that the serving sizes they produce are so small! If you’re like me, you probably often find yourself downing cup after tiny cup of Nespresso coffee and having to continuously go back to make more. The page can be on the side you enter on OR the far side, but is rarely if ever in the middle. At this point, Slender IS either at your entry point of the tunnel or closer. The tunnel page will be tacked to the wall, and can blend in so be wary. Take a left onto the dirt path and head for the tunnel. If you see the page, grab it and start considering that sprint button. You should still be able to see if the page is there on the inside of the pillars while still being able to make a wide enough turn at the end to go around the other set of pillars. Bang a right out of there and the six pillars should be next, on your left.Īpproach from the outside of the left pillars. Approach the wall from the right, do a strafing circle around it, collect the page if necessary, and leave, never turning back. You want to stick to the dirt paths especially with the latest update, which allows ol' Slendy to appear IN FRONT of you, but behind something like a tree, making every forest a maze of NOPE.Turning around is NOT suggested, and the game can be beaten without ever actually seeing the man. Head to the dirt path at the 3 o'clock position next. The page can either be on the end of the tankers lined up parallel to each other, or on the side of the perpendicular tanks. These are the next scariest obstacles, but Slender man is still slow as molasses at 1 page. The tanks are directly outside the bathroom. Don't skip the chair unless you already have the note. It is easy to get scared and skip checking the chair. The page can be tacked onto the wall, or sitting on a chair in the far corner of one of the rooms.

For example if I convert to 8bit in avs or vpy without dither, then encode - it's about the same size (~5kb), but has gaps in the data (show below in a waveform) Ī program that does not apply dither (or maybe you can disable it in handbrake), would still have gaps in the data, banding. Also the encoding settings can change the size (for example xmediarecode didn't use same settings as default cli, file size was >2x the size). Container overhead can be that large (Check the elementary stream if you're doing that). And for a simple gradient, it is lossless (You can re-encode with CRF1 and PSNR is infinity)īe careful about just looking at the "filesize" only especially when it's just 1 frame, ~5Kb. "Lossless mode" isn't as widely supported in other programs, NLE's etc. Could you still please post your 10bit gradient test video here ? It's easy enough, even for beginners, to measure filesize and check for 10bit output in MediaInfo.Īlso why not use the encoder Lossless mode (x265 -lossless, x264 crf=0) ? I check end to end tests for various workflows (e.g. OK, I can imagine that the difficulty may in fact be analyzing the result rather than generating a gradient. Note on "real" content, the "ballooning" size won't be so drastic, but it's still suboptimal if you start with 10bit content Handbrake output >10x the size mainly because of the dithering, and gaps in the data (0,4,8) when you examine it.

When you test - it dithers the intermediate stage (functions like noise to "hide" the banding), so it doesn't look as bad on a gradient as no dither - but the filesize balloons up because of the dithering Handbrake/vidcoder definitely uses an 8bit intermediate stage this is well documented. If there is an 8bit step, you will get gaps in the data such as 0,4,8, instead of 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8, which of course results in more banding, less accuracy, worse compression FedEx’s ID scanning technology will electronically capture the recipient’s name and automate age verification.

Domestic Shipmentĭomestic shipments do not require commercial invoices as they are strictly import/export documents for international customs purposes. The sender needs a commercial invoice to support foreign credit risk insurance. So make sure you let them know this is a paperless invoice shipment. HM Revenue and Customs have levied these charges,which FedEx paid on your behalf to speed up your delivery. * Please note that courier drivers may reject parcels without a commercial invoice. The Duty & Taxes invoice you have received indicates that FedEx have recently imported a shipment into the UK, on your behalf, which has been subject to import charges. In that case, we likely have a paperless trade agreement whereby the courier digitally transfers the commercial invoice to customs. Couriers have different names for these services, which are marked on the label. When you send the images (up to five permitted), mark which image you want in each slot by using the following format: IMAGE1 (filename) letterhead IMAGE2 (filename) signature Note: FedEx sets the maximum size for each image at 700 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall. These fields are put on the top of the form because they are the most important cells, at least in the FedEx design.

Typically the first leg of the shipment will be conducted by a local shipping solution, E.G., USPS. If you are using a hybrid or multi-leg shipping service, a commercial invoice won't be included in the shipping documents as the selected courier will attach it when they receive and process the shipment. Every time I went somewhere new, I was faced with fresh opponents, gameplay mechanics, and sometimes power-ups.

Magnus’ evil plan was also not explained very well, which didn’t keep me from getting invested in thwarting it.Įach level has hazards and specific enemy patterns you’ll have to learn through trial and error, Dark Souls-style, which means you are going to die. The intro cutscene did a lot to establish the personal grudge between protagonist Taro Takahashi and Magnus was, and Magnus himself is entertainingly evil in cutscenes, but I didn’t feel like I knew who any of the other characters were. I would’ve liked a bit more explicit exposition on what was going on. The scenes of overgrown cities with flickering neon signs still playing ancient ads are especially haunting. However, the environmental storytelling makes up for it in my opinion. There’s something surprisingly unsettling about the tinny death screams of dictator Magnus Pierce’s soldiers.Īlthough Steel Assault tells a story of corruption, revenge, and seeking justice in a devastated world, the limitations of its retro arcade-style can be keenly felt in this area. The soundtrack is equal parts futuristic and nostalgic, creating an immersive atmosphere that meshes well with the equally nostalgic sound effects.

Game Steel Assault Free Download About This Game Women have always been generally perceived as inferior to leadership, influence, and power, or resembled as a princess waiting to be saved by her prince charming. His character and the great chemistry between the father-daughter relationship, siblings, colleagues, and the main leads keep the show fun, entertaining, and worth watching. The villain role was a top-notch performance by the actor, Kim Byung-chul. To disregard the details and development of his character would bring the series dull and uninteresting. His background story is a satiating one that has psychological depth and evokes both empathy and annoyance to his manipulative and psychopathic behavior. Viewers will hate him as well as feel sorry for him. The antagonist, Sigma, serves as one of the highlights and best roles in this drama. It requires one to think, analyze, and perhaps mentally compute the entanglement of the past, present, and future well-executed in a perfect amount of humor and heart with moral lessons. In the drama, the cycle of trying to fix the past and changing the future pushed the genius, Han Tae-sul to sacrifice his life, to which the fighter, Gang Seo-hae took chances not to happen. He was forced to face the impossible task of rolling a boulder up a hill that rolls back down repeatedly. Putting aside the minimal flaws, the drama stayed true to the myth of Sisyphus, a Greek legend who was punished by the god Zeus for trying to cheat death. Despite the drop of viewership ratings in Korea, it remained one of the top 10 most viewed in Netflix Asia for weeks. Each supporting role has a powerful story and moral lesson that revolve around life regrets, chances, and sacrifices. However, steady viewers are captivated by the unexpected twists, complexities, and mysteries that each episode brings excellently performed by Park Shin-hye, Cho Seung-woo, and the rest of the cast. Ideas such as the refrigerator that is undamaged by several bullets and where the female lead was falling down the forest but suddenly landed in an abandoned building are too hilarious and surprisingly terrible, compared to the excellent plots, directing, and editing of the action-packed Vagabond, Arthdal Chronicles, Kingdom, Mr. Action scenes such as the sloppy gunfight where the armed men cannot pull a trigger in the perfect opportunity or run fast to chase the target are just illogical and unrealistic. The show is great overall despite the loopholes in the storyline, pitfalls, and imperfections in a few technicalities. The gist of the story aims to fix the past and alter the ruined Korean peninsula through the collaboration of Gang Seo-hae (Park Shin-hye), a trained warrior who came from the post-apocalyptic future, and Han Tae-sul (Cho Seung-woo), a brilliant Engineer who was the key to high-technology’s time-traveling machine. Sisyphus: The Myth is a Korean science-fiction genre combined with action, drama, adventure, and romance. What Sibelius wanted was to portray Finland's awakening and its fighting spirit in more general terms. It is true that a locomotive did make an appearance in the tableaux, but according to the manuscript that was only after a description of the reign of Tsar Alexander II, including the heroic accomplishments of Runeberg the poet, Snellman the statesman and Lönnrot the compiler of Kalevala.įinlandia was certainly not composed to describe these various stages in any precise way. Thus the first notes of Finlandia cannot describe the chuffing of a steam locomotive - as has been humorously claimed. It is interesting that Klemetti – who was an eye-witness - reports the Finlandia music as beginning during the tableau that described the 'Great Hate'. "Finland Awakens" was indeed an early version of Fin landia. "Those grand, gloomy themes at the beginning of what is now Finlandia rolled across the tableau depicting the horrors of the 'Great Hate'", Klemetti wrote later. The defiant brass chords of the opening made a deep impression on the young Heikki Klemetti, who was in the audience. This was the starting point for the last tableau, "Finland Awakens", to which Eino Leino hade written a suitably solemn background text. Sibelius composed the darkest and most ascetic music imaginable. They were threatened by War, Frost, Hunger and Death. Mother Finland was sitting in a snowdrift with her children who were shivering with cold. In the "Great Hate" tableau the performance had a particularly sharp edge. At the same time Finnish cultural figures wanted to support freedom of speech in defiance of Governor-General Nicholas Bobrikov. Officially, the ticket receipts from the performance were to go to the journalists' pension fund. Now the same conquerors were censoring the Finnish press. The tableau from the period of the 'Great Hate' was especially bold, as it showed the destruction caused by the Russian conquerors. The tableaux depicted scenes from the history of Finland. In addition, he composed "quiet music" to complement the texts of the tableaux. Sibelius wrote a short overture, and music for six tableaux: The performances took place at the beginning of November 1899 at the Swedish Theatre. The year was crowned by the music for tableaux staged as part of the main event of the Days of the Press. In 1899 he wrote The Song of the Athenians and The Breaking of the Ice on Oulu River. Sibelius, too, wanted to use his art to add to the protests. This stirred opposition in most Finnish cultural circles, and paintings with protest themes became very popular. In February 1899 Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia, issued a "February Manifesto" which aimed to restrict the autonomy of the Grand Duchy of Finland.

Moser did not only partake in Viennas artistic emergence around 1900 but helped shape the process from the beginning. Their Viennese style became a synonym for clarity of design, geometry, and stylized decoration. Together with the industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, they founded the Wiener Werkstätte in 1903, thus having a crucial influence on the applied arts in Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century. Both were founding members of the Vienna Secession and, from 1899 onwards, both taught at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts (todays University for Applied Arts Vienna). The careers and works of both creators are closely linked. Designs and objects from the areas of graphics, glass, and ceramics are displayed in the exhibition so as to place these exceptional artists works in dialogue with one another and render their individual characteristics visible. The works of Koloman Moser (1868≡918) are considered the artistic antithesis of Josef Hoffmanns (1870≡956) when it comes to the architecture of their designs: while Hoffmann remained a tectonically austere creator, Koloman Moser always incorporated a decorative, painterly element. This years annual exhibition Josef HoffmannKoloman Moser (through 28 October 2018) in Josef Hoffmann Museum in Brtnice, a joint branch of the Moravian Gallery in Brno and MAK Vienna, is dedicated to relations between two artist friends and preeminent designers of Viennese Modernism. |
