Unknowingly violating data protection and other laws is quite easy in a multinational corporation, if one doesn’t know what one is doing. If you don’t exactly know, what you are doing, you might end up in court quit fast. The same is mostly true for monitoring net traffic. This gets interesting when an employee suddenly dies and you have to ask the relatives to formally grant you in writing the permission to access the deceased’s corporate mail box to ensure, that no important business transactions are pending. If that’s not the case, the policy is legally invalid, and so employee mail access would, despite the policy, be highly illegal. To be able as a corporation to access the mail of employees, the accounts need to be corporate accounts, Private usage of these corporate email accounts must be expressively forbidden by a formal corporate policy, of which the user must have been made aware of AND this corporate policy must be regularly enforced. Eg simply accessing the business mail of an employee is illegal and could send the admin or CIO who does so to jail. In contrast, things like these are expressively forbidden in many European countries. Eg in the US all IT stuff is “corporate”, so the company can monitor everything, including every keystroke. This depends on the legal jurisdiction the user is in.

“The health and safety of everyone on our set is our number one priority, so out of an abundance of caution we have made the decision to stop production of ‘Ultimate Slip ’N Slide’ at the current location,” a rep for the studio told TheWrap in a statement. “We are in the process of determining next steps in order to complete production.” Bobby Moynihan, left, and Ron Funches were the hosts of NBC’s “Ultimate Slip ‘N Slide,” which halted production due to sick crew members. Many infected crew members blamed the mess on a lack of fresh clean water being used in the slip ‘n slide competitions, at odds with the network’s description of the show as a “fresh take on Wham-O’s iconic 1960s outdoor game,” the report said. “This wet-and-wild new series takes the spirit of the classic backyard slide and transforms it into a real-life water park full of gigantic slippery rides with the chance to take home a big cash prize,” NBC said last month.It was August 2000, and I’d been picking noodles out of my hair for days. The seniors at my high school decided the incoming freshmen needed a bonding experience, and so they laid out at least a dozen bright yellow plastic slides across the soccer fields, dumped Kraft macaroni and cheese on top, and turned on the hoses. While my fondest memory of the Slip ‘N Slide is messier than most, it nevertheless connects me to generations of kids who have spent their summers skidding through backyards, soaked with delight in their very own water world. It is this shared experience-the visceral response to seeing that plastic chute atop the lawn-that makes Slip ‘N Slide one of the most enduring toys of all time. The invention of the Slip ‘N Slide is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the result of some childhood shenanigans. It was the summer of 1960, and Robert Carrier had returned home from work to find his 10-year-old son, Mike, and his friends careening down their driveway in Lakewood, California. To escape the heat, the boys had turned the hose on the painted concrete, creating a cool, slippery surface to play on. “Mike told me the story of his dad saying, ‘well you guys are going to kill yourself sliding on concrete’,” says Tim Walsh, game inventor and author of Timeless Toys: Classic Toys and the Playmakers Who Created Them. The next day, Carrier, who worked as an upholsterer with a boat-manufacturing company, brought home a 50-foot roll of Naugahyde, which he unraveled on the driveway. The vinyl-coated, waterproof fabric was a vast improvement-slicker and safer-over the perilous concrete. Carrier's "Aquatic Play Equipment," patented May 2, 1961.Īccording to Carrier’s 1961 patent, the “ aquatic play equipment ” was a portable surface for the “sport” of body planing. From his original strip of Naugahyde, Carrier took a ream of the plastic material and sewed a tube into the side, forming an “irrigating duct” to which a hose could attach. The duct had punctures along the length of it, from which water could be released via pressure from the hose. Seams stitched across the length of the fabric at regular intervals also carried water laterally, wetting the repellant surface but not making it soggy. You attach the hose to one end and then sew the other end shut so that there's pressure, and then you put spaces in between the stitches so that water literally shoots out every inch and lubricates the entire surface of the slide.” “The best inventions are so simple that people are like, ‘Wow, why didn't I think of that?’ But if you look at the patent, I mean it is really genius. Others saw beauty in Carrier’s design, too. Namely, the successful toy manufacturer Wham-O, founded by two University of Southern California graduates in 1948. According to Walsh, Carrier showed his invention to coworkers, and found out that his boss “knew someone at a toy company up in San Gabriel.” Trading out Naugahyde for a less-expensive vinyl plastic and shortening the length to 25 feet, Wham-O released the “new amazing invention, the Wham-O Slip ‘N Slide Magic Waterslide” at the Toy Fair trade show in New York City in February 1961. The pen actually is a bit of a revelation. Tools laid out in front of you grant access to anything archived on your Facebook page – photos, videos, 360-degree videos - as well as things like a selfie stick (yes, you'd be taking photos of you and your avatar friends) and a pen. The table keeps people from wandering around the room, Franklin says. Once you've got your avatar set up, you meet up with invited friends around a virtual circular table. That's because Facebook uses machine learning algorithms to go through photos on your Facebook page to create an avatar with your general looks, which can be customized at will. Your avatar, created from your Facebook photosįor now, however, here's what you're getting when you step into Spaces: Oculus goggles on your head and Touch controllers in your hands, you're able to select from a short list of digital avatars that already look like you. The ultimate social space would find high-powered digital scanners replicating your movements and gestures in real time and placing that virtual you in a group space with other digitally-teleported humans. "We're making the camera the first augmented reality platform," Zuckerberg said in the F8 keynote address.īut while VR remains expensive and in the hands of few, it is capable of teleporting humans into virtual worlds in a way that AR cannot.Īlthough Facebook Spaces at present remains rudimentary, a demo conjures up what may be possible with more computing power. Facebook on Tuesday made a big push into augmented reality, opening its camera platform to developers and laying out a vision where Facebook's apps will display digital information on the real world and add digital objects to the physical world. Zuckerberg and colleagues were shown in avatar form sharing photos and taking selfies in a 360-degree rendition of Zuckerberg's home.Īnother roadblock for virtual reality is that analysts continue to tout the comparatively populist potential of smartphone-based augmented reality, as evidenced by last summer's Pokemon Go augmented reality craze. The next best thing actually was previewed last October by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who demoed a first pass at Spaces before an audience at the Oculus Connect conference. So the question we asked was, if they can't do it in person, what's the next best thing?" "At the end of the day, people need to be with people they care about. "We are fundamentally a people-first computing platform," Franklin told USA TODAY after a preview of Spaces Monday at the company's headquarters. The beta version of Facebook Spaces rolls out immediately. The VR platform was announced Tuesday by social VR chief Rachel Rubin Franklin during the keynote at F8, Facebook's annual developer conference unfolding this week in San Jose. While it's not quite Star Trek's holodeck, Facebook Spaces allows those with Facebook-owned Oculus Rift and Touch virtual reality hardware to share photos, videos, drawings and more in a VR realm populated by cartoon avatars. Facebook just took one step closer to realizing a sci-fi dream of hanging with your friends in a digital dimension. Watch Video: Facebook Spaces, a new virtual reality Intelligent clinical environments permit such augmented clinical encounters to occur in a fully digitised space where the environment becomes the computer. Computer-led systems are delegated full control of documentation and only request human interaction when exceptions are encountered. Mixed-initiative systems are delegated part of the documentation task, converting the conversations in a clinical encounter into summaries suitable for the electronic record. Human led systems task clinicians with creating documentation, but provide tools to make the task simpler and more effective, for example with dictation support, semantic checking and templates. Whilst in their infancy, digital scribes are likely to evolve through three broad stages. Digital scribes or intelligent documentation support systems, take advantage of advances in speech recognition, natural language processing and artificial intelligence, to automate the clinical documentation task currently conducted by humans. I was honestly quite surprised when I realized the new Kinde Scribe is actually not waterproof.Current generation electronic health records suffer a number of problems that make them inefficient and associated with poor clinical satisfaction. I’ve come to depend on my Paperwhite when I read at the pool or during a late-night bath session. The only real downside to the Kindle’s functionality is the fact that it’s not waterproof. Other than PDFs and DOCs, the Kindle Scribe supports a wide variety of file formats, including TXT, DOCX, HTML, and EPUb (check here for the full list). It also, of course, works with Audible, so you’ll be able to access your audiobooks on this device as well. For me, scrolling felt a little laggy and it was annoying having to reposition the screen every time I zoomed out or in - I found it easier just to mark up the PDF in its regular size. You’ll be able to zoom in and out too, although scrolling might not be as seamless as you’d expect on a regular tablet or laptop. Once it’s there, you can mark up your documents as you like - even underlining or circling directly onto the PDF (weirdly though, you can’t do this on e-books). Simply use the Send to Kindle Feature, where you can upload any PDFs, Docs or even images, up to 200 MB in size and it will download almost immediately onto your Kindle. It also made it easy to take notes on the device, even under harsh fluorescent lighting.Īnother feature I really liked was how easy it was to import PDFs or word documents to my Scribe. I really liked the bright, even display on the Scribe, which let me read both outdoors and indoors with ease. The Kindle Scribe also offers an adjustable warm light, depending on your reading preferences, plus a dark mode, which makes it a little more comfortable to read when the lights are out. There are also 35 LED front-ligths on this Kindle - more than even the Kindle Oasis - which makes it a breeze to read on this Kindle in low-light conditions. This works well for reading text or even handwriting notes. The Kindle Scribe features a 10.2-inch 300 PPI glare-free display. There are third-party retailers that also sell Kindle Scribe covers, just in case you’re looking for a more affordable option. Plus, it’s got a nifty pocket for storing your pen if you don’t want to magnetically attach it to the side of your Kindle. Yes, it’s an additional $60 but it’s a necessary purchase, especially if you want to set your Kindle down in stand mode or a different orientation as you read - you will want to set it down considering it’s not the lightest e-reader on the market. I also heavily suggest that you buy the Kindle magnetic cover with your purchase. I found myself wishing that the bezel didn’t exist altogether (I’d rather have a larger screen) but it’s not a deal-breaker. The Scribe does have a rather thick bezel on one side though, designed to function as a grip while you read. The design otherwise is quite functional, with a USB-C port and a simple on/off button being the only markings on the build. This isn’t exactly nondestructive editing because at some point you need to make a “New from Visible” layer. The same general procedure can be used to darken as well as lighten portions of an image, again controlling the effect using a layer mask. Hight bit depth GIMP is my primary image editor, and I’ve used the procedure described below for the last couple of years as my “go to” way to modify image tonality. Power lines at noon, before and after tone mapping (aka “shadow recovery”) using high bit depth GIMP’s floating point “Colors/Exposure”.Īfter tone mapping/shadow recovery using GIMP unbounded Levels. The procedure is completely “hand-tunable” using masks and layers, and is as close as you can get to non-destructive image editing using high bit depth GIMP 2.9/2.10. This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to use GIMP’s unbounded floating point “Colors/Exposure” operation to recover shadow information-that is, add one or more stops of positive exposure compensation to an image’s shadows and midtones-without blowing out or unduly compressing the image highlights. But really these algorithms are special-purpose tone-mapping algorithms, which sometimes work pretty well, and sometimes not so well, depending on the algorithm, the image, and your artistic intentions for the image. Precanned algorithms for accomplishing this task are often referred to as “shadow recovery” algorithms. High bit depth GIMP’s floating point “Colors/Exposure”: much better than Curves for lightening the shadows and midtones of an image without blowing the highlights ¶Ī very common editing problem is how to lighten the shadows and midtones of an image without blowing out the highlights, which problem is very often encountered when dealing with photographs of scenes lit by direct sunlight.

Tracing a fascinating path through his meteoric rise to success, he chronicles his struggle to come to terms with his own imperfections, his growing desire to be honest about his sexual orientation, and his yearning to live with an open heart. Now, in Shattered Love, he poignantly recounts his lifelong struggle to find happiness. Finally, with the help of friends and guidance from spiritual teachers, including Krishnamurti, Chamberlain began the sometimes painful but deeply rewarding process of reconciling his deepest self with his public persona. Kildare, The Thorn Birds, Shogun, and other television dramas. Even as he won the adoration of millions of fans, this handsome, charming, debonair leading man seriously questioned his own self-worth, living a life haunted by personal insecurity despite decades of immense popular success in memorable roles in Dr. The play contained a lesson the actor has remembered throughout his life: "To thine own self be true."

Her creations were not for women who wanted to make an entrance, as a Vogue editor put it. She was also in 1977 the first Asian woman to join the ranks of Christian Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Armani, Versace, Valentino and Karl Lagerfeld in Paris shows, where the competition and the stakes were as high as they get in fashion.
