By accepting that role and coming to an understanding, Vax found what he had been lacking and became more at ease. Upon encountering the Raven Queen, Vax'ildan was fearful at first, but he eventually accepted his new role as the goddess's champion. He had considered becoming a follower of Sarenrae, inspired by his friend Pike, but had to give up on this idea after he offered his life to the Raven Queen, in desperation, to save his sister's life. For many years, he thought of himself as "lost and a wanderer", his goal being to find some purpose in his life. Vax'ildan has said that he felt depressed for a long time before meeting with Vox Machina. But he does open up towards those who earn his trust and his love. At times, he keeps his emotions to himself, the only person he ever trusted for a long time being his sister. When he feels overwhelmed, he prefers to walk away when it becomes too much to bear instead of dealing with the problem. He has a habit of self-loathing and tends to brood when undergoing emotional crises. Vax tends to wear his heart on his sleeve. He can be incredibly deceptive and often navigates through social situations with ease and occasionally coin. Personality Ĭompared to his sister, Vax is far more focused and serious, but he is not without his moments of playfulness, as he is quite fond of being a prankster. When Vax'ildan briefly returned to the material plane in order to commemorate his sister's wedding, he wore an elegant mask resembling Percy's, and his right shoulder had a bony, antler-like growth coming from the area of his tattoo of Keyleth's antlers. Once Vax reappeared on the Material Plane, the dark mark on his chest had expanded to resemble a pair of wings. After being disintegrated by Vecna, the Raven Queen made a deal with Vax to allow him to return to life until Vecna had been destroyed. Īfter his resurrection, Vax'ildan developed a dark, bruise-like mark over his heart as a symbol of the boon he received from the Raven Queen. Additionally, Vax'ildan used to have the Clasp's brand between his shoulder blades, but it has since been covered by a handprint-shaped scar on his back after he asked Keyleth to burn it away. While spending a year with Keyleth in Zephrah, he also got a tattoo of her antlers on his upper right arm. He got a pair of tattoos in Vasselheim after completing the Slayer's Take trial: on the inside of his left wrist are the sounds for "V" and "M" written in Elvish script, and on the inside of his right wrist is an icosahedron. When he activates the armor's ability to fly, a pair of large black raven wings sprout from his back.Īfter joining the Slayer's Take, Vax'ildan has the brand of the guild on his right arm. Vax'ildan wears the Deathwalker's Ward, a black set of studded leather armor trimmed with black feathers. During his resurrection ritual in Vesrah, a part of his hair was braided with Vex's blue feathers as part of her offering. He greatly resembles his sister, with long, dark brown hair and hazel eyes, but at 5'11" he is two inches taller than her. Like his twin sister Vex'ahlia, Vax is a twenty-eight-year-old half-elf. Official art of Vax'ildan at the end of Vox Machina's journey, by Kit Buss. And when his knack for circumventing adversity isn't enough, the way of blades the elves schooled him in more than makes up the difference." Description Appearance An outsider since birth, Vax quickly learned to solve life's challenges in his own particular way, often by sidestepping them entirely. With their ties all severed, Vax'ildan and his sister set out to find their fortune together in Tal'Dorei. Pressing the townspeople for answers, they learned of the day the dragon came. Their mother was gone, their home burned to ash. But instead of finding their childhood home, they returned to a pile of rubble. The siblings stole away one autumn night and set out on the open road.Īfter a few years of wandering, they eventually decided to return to their mother, and journeyed back to the lands of their youth. But their cool reception among the elves there never warmed, and their time in the capital didn't last. Raised by their mother in their early years, the twins were eventually sent off to their father in the elven capital of Syngorn. " Never entirely welcome in the company of elves or men, Vax'ildan learned at a young age to skip past formality, preferring instead to invite himself in your door.Īlong with twin sister Vex'ahlia, Vax was born by a chance encounter between elven royalty and human peasantry.

Apple defines it as an app that “helps users reflect and practice gratitude through journaling, which has been shown to improve wellbeing. This one is all about the headline act, the new Journal app. Another Newsroom update has appeared relating to iOS 17.2 new features.

This has less wow factor but adds to the compatibility for playback. Combining them into one video is complex and achieved when the iPhone “scales the field of view from the Ultra Wide camera to match that of the Main camera, which is then saved into a single video file.”Īs mentioned above, if you play back these files on the iPhone or iPad, say, then you’ll just see a regular 2D video. This is clever: the two cameras have different focal lengths and sensors with different resolutions-48 megapixels on the Main camera, 12 megapixels on the Ultra Wide. How the iPhone 15 Pro captures spatial video. The 3D effect, which is highly compelling when you see the videos played back on a Vision Pro, is created by shooting video on two of the iPhone’s cameras at the same time, the Main and Ultra Wide lenses. They have a wow factor which, I suspect, will lead some potential customers to reach for their credit cards as soon as they’ve seen them.Īpple has more details of how the recording will work, explaining that they are captured at 1080p resolution, at a frame rate of 30 frames per second, and with standard dynamic range. Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, describes these videos as “magical.” Although Apple, like most companies, can tend towards hyperbole, I’d say there is something really extraordinary about these videos, which I saw in a demonstration of the Vision Pro some months ago. In a Newsroom post, Apple specifies how the two latest Pro handsets are now capable of recording spatial videos, describing it as “a groundbreaking new capability that helps users capture life’s precious moments” and watch them back on the Apple Vision Pro when it’s released next year. Alongside the release of the update, Apple has set out lots more details about spatial video capture on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Similar to NameDrop (which is entirely secure, despite the furor that arose last week about it), you can now share boarding passes or movie tickets just by bringing two iPhones together. Typing messages, or anything else, is updated so you can turn off predictions inline, although personally I love that feature.

From the air, the wall seemed to separate two different modes of existence. Erected in 1961 to stanch the flow of East Germans seeking to escape the Communist system by fleeing to West Berlin, the wall, a dozen feet tall, completely encircled West Berlin. Although all that remains of the wall these days are paving stones that show where it stood, in 1987 the structure dominated Berlin. West Berliners, the diplomat explained, had long ago gotten used to the structure that encircled them.Īfter I left the diplomat, several members of the advance team and I were given a flight over the city in a U.S. And no inflammatory statements about the Berlin Wall. The President would therefore have to watch himself. The most left-leaning of all West Germans, the diplomat informed me, West Berliners were intellectually and politically sophisticated. He was full of ideas about what the President shouldn't say. The diplomat gave me quite specific instructions. When I met the ranking American diplomat in Berlin, I assumed he would give me some.Ī stocky man with thick glasses, the diplomat projected an anxious, distracted air throughout our conversation, as if the very prospect of a visit from Ronald Reagan made him nervous. All that I had to do in Berlin was find material. Later that month I spent a day and a half in Berlin with the White House advance team-the logistical experts, Secret Service agents, and press officials who went to the site of every presidential visit to make arrangements. I was told only that the President would be speaking at the Berlin Wall, that he was likely to draw an audience of about 10,000, and that, given the setting, he probably ought to talk about foreign policy. At the request of the West German government, his schedule was adjusted to permit him to stop in Berlin for a few hours on his way back to the United States from Italy. Mikhail Gorbachev was due in a matter of days.Īlthough the President hadn't been planning to visit Berlin himself, he was going to be in Europe in early June, first visiting Rome, then spending several days in Venice for an economic summit. Queen Elizabeth had already visited the city. In April 1987, when I was assigned to write the speech, the celebrations for the 750th anniversary of the founding of Berlin were already under way.

All through the month of October, horror movies old and new are being featured, including HALLOWEEN 2018 and THE EVIL DEAD. Portable toilets and outdoor sinks have been installed, guests can order hot food and drinks remotely via a QR code, and an outdoor snack tent has been installed for quick goodies. Update 10/5/20 – While indoor movie theaters have struggled in their efforts to reopen, West Wind Las Vegas continues to thrive and offer a safe haven for moviegoers. Come here just to share something unique with friends and family.Retro-cool outdoor movie theater provides box-office hits without the need for human contact… Save those for the theaters where there are no distractions, better sound and picture quality. Do not come here to see a movie you've been dying to see. Bring your sense of adventure and old fashioned fun. Bring blankets and sweatshirts because once the sun is gone it gets chilly, unless it's the middle of summer. Over all, it's worth going just for the experience as a whole. Too bad people can't clean up after themselves, but just watch where you step. There was some trash laying around, especially after the movie. The pavement there is very cracked with bumps and holes in spots, and in the dark you could misstep and trip. I'd suggest bringing a flashlight or cell phone light for trips to the bathroom. Also, it's near an airport and the occasional small plane or helicopter can be a bit distracting, but nothing too major. Some of the downsides to the experience are that other people around us were smoking and if you are sensitive to that, even being outside, that's something to keep in mind. There are also restrooms near the snack bar and the night we were there, they were clean. We didn't buy anything there, but the girl behind the counter was really nice, and gave us cups for ice water since we'd forgotten to bring something to drink. You can bring in coolers, snacks, drinks, etc. We brought chairs to sit on outside around our SUV which was nicer than all cramming in the back. Their website says that larger vehicles should park towards the back, but that doesn't always happen. Also, lots of people come in vans, SUVs, and trucks and park backwards to watch the movie, so there is a chance you view will be blocked if you are in a smaller car. That didn't happen to us, but I saw it happen to others. Keep in mind that there are always those last minute arrivals who think they are going to squeeze their car between you and the car next to you. By the time the movie started however, it was packed. We arrived at 7:00 and there were only 5 cars there. Perhaps because it was opening weekend, I'm not sure. Most movies are a double feature which also ups the value since you're watching two movies, but, we went to see Cinderella and that was playing solo. They run specials on Tuesdays were it's $5 per person for adults. It's a great deal if you have younger kids. It's a worthwhile experience if you know what to expect before going. My family and I went to the drive-in this weekend and had a nice time. We really enjoyed our evening as it is a low cost activity with the novelty value added in! It's really good to have the sound coming from your car stereo as it's like having your own surround sound. There is a refreshment building with toilets. The ground is slightly banked in places to make sure everyone gets a good view. We went on a Monday night which meant it was very quiet and not many other vehicles around, so we had a really good unobstructed view. She then told us the frequency we needed to tune our radio into and we headed over to the screen. We pulled up at the entry kiosk and payed our $6.50 and told the assistant which movies we wanted to watch. We visited West Wind as we had hired a car for our holiday and wanted to do some things off the strip for a change of scenery.ĭrive-in movies are a bit of a novelty for us Brits and we loved our visit! The screening times and movies are online and the best thing is that you pay once price for a double feature. When you layer a transparent image over a blue image, it becomes the background of the blue image. When the image’s background is transparent, you can change the color of the background. In this step-by-step tutorial, you will learn how to remove the background from an image using GIMP. If you want to make the layer transparent, click on it and then adjust the Opacity slider until you’re satisfied. How Do You Change The Transparency Of A Picture In Gimp?Ĭtrl L (in case you’re using GIMP on a Mac) will bring it back, while Dockable Dialogs and Layers will either open the Windows menu or allow you to select them from the list. The preview image appears in the window’s From box below the From button. Using Color to Alpha, you can color-code an image and make it transparent. Your image is displayed in the Color to Alpha dialog box, and a small preview appears. To change your color to alpha, go to the menu bar and select the color you want. In the new dialogue window, choose the Dropper and then a white background. In Layer, click Transparency and then Add Alpha Channel, then click on the Layer icon. You should experiment with different methods to learn more about the software in order to build on your knowledge. Whether you’re a beginner using GIMP or an editor, knowing how to use this tool is a must. Using theSelect by color tool to create a transparent background will greatly improve the appearance of your work. You can achieve the desired effect by using this technique to remove a large amount of color from the back of images. Fuzzy Select enables users to determine which parts of an image correspond to which colors using similarity detection. A transparent background can be created in GIMP in a variety of ways. GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an excellent alternative to Adobe Photoshop for image editing. Alternatively, the layer can be selected and the opacity can be changed in the image menu by selecting Image>Transparency>Adjust Opacity. The opacity of a layer can be changed by double-clicking on the layer in the layers palette and then adjusting the slider. File -> Export As -> PNG and click through the dialogs.Image transparency can be changed in GIMP by using the opacity slider in the layers palette.Either way, the transparent layer should look all chequerboard-y: It should automagically choose the background, but if not, click on the colour picker (the eye dropper beside the Color window) and click on the background. Choose Layer -> Transparency -> Colour to Alpha.Choose Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel.I like ImageJ, especially if I want to make a black-and-white version, because I can readily switch the image to greyscale then threshold to remove any spots in the background. If it needs cleaning up, use your favourite tool for that.In my case, I viewed the PDF at large size, hit Print Screen, pasted the result into MSPAINT and then cropped. In my case, I am using a photocopier that will email me a PDF version. Bung it in the scanner and scan it in colour (greyscale if black pen) at good resolution - say 300dpi.First, get a nice clean piece of paper and sign it, generously but not huge, so that the ink-to-white ratio is about right. Unlike the first one, the 2d one developed odor issues after 8 or 9 years. Note - the hem was a fair bit shorter on the second shirt than the first or the third. It might have been my favorite shirt to wear in cooler to cold weather, either as a mid-layer or base layer. The fit was a bit boxy, the fabric was more robust than the earlier version. I picked up my 2d R1 pullover around 2008. My 21 year old son took it over a number of years ago and still likes it today. It was a different shirt - the weave wasn't as robust, it didn't have the air-trapping grid it does today, and the fit was loose/stretchy. I bought my first R1 pullover around 2001. Other than that, I would say that it is perfect.Ī little history lesson. I would love for this to have a chest pocket, like the men's one does. I rated it 4.5 stars only because it does not have any pockets at all. It is so versatile! It is honestly one piece of gear that I can not go without. I bought two of them for color coordinating outfits, not due to any durability issues. They have stood up very well in the wash. I have worn my two R1's year 'round for the past four years and I have never had any issues with them whatsoever. My favorite way to wear the R1 Pullover is with my Patagonia Down Sweater Vest over top of it. You wouldn't want to wear too much under it because it will get too hot. When I layer under it, I usually wear a breathable t-shirt or long sleeved shirt. It is relatively thin, so it doesn't add extra bulk when layering it under another layer. Layers really do well gliding over it because the outside fabric is smooth. I feel it is warmest under a shell because it does not block wind very much and the nylon would also continue to trap heat, instead of letting it escape. Being warm is crucial to my enjoyment of the outdoors, so I always bring my R1 with me. I cannot tell you how clutch this has been for me. The R1 is incredibly warm for its weight. It has to be cold for me to wear it when active. It does get hot (due to the heat trapping micro-grids) if you are engaging in heavy activity, such as running or hiking. The R1 is very breathable because of the fabric and because of the deep venting zipper. The seams are strategically placed for wearing a pack comfortably. The micro-grid squares also promote air flow and quick drying times. The inside of the R1 is made of Polartec Powerdry high/low grid fleece that trap heat. It is made of a stretchy 93% polyester (41% recycled) / 7% spandex blend, so when you move, the R1 moves right along with you. The R1 Pullover is very comfortable! I wear it every opportunity that I have. I found the sleeve length and the overall length to be appropriate for my 5'4" frame. I feel that there could be more room in the chest, but it may fit you just fine. I wear a size Medium in this shirt, as I do with most other Patagonia products. It is snug, but it also has room to layer a shirt underneath. The fit of the R1 Pullover is "slim fit." I think that it is a flattering cut. My husband and I both sporting our R1 Pullovers If you are interested in pockets and would like a little more room, try the R1 Full Zip Jacket. If you are interested in a hood, try the R1 Hoody. It is a very minimalist piece that has no pockets, hood or adjustablilty, but it only weighs 9.7 oz. I wear it as a baselayer (under a puffy) when the temperature drops into the 30's. I could wear it while hiking/running at 20-40 degrees. I love it so much that I bought two! I wear it as a stand-alone fleece from 45-59 degrees. The Patagonia R1 is a staple in my backcountry gear. |
