If there's no artwork, or iTunes isn't running, then the albumArt.tif file is replaced by a transparent version. The entry in GeekTool that displays the picture is pointed to where the albumArt.tif is saved. So the PICT file gets converted by Image Events into a TIFF, and is saved as albumArt.tif. Although GeekTool can display this, you can't have a transparent PICT, which we need later. The AppleScript gets the artwork from iTunes as a PICT file. (There's also a 289KB version, which includes some screenshots that show what you get, and clarify the folder structure.)Īfter downloading the archive, follow the rest of the hint's instructions to get it all working. I've bundled up everything you need to get this working, along with some screenshots, into this 24KB archive. Then a different GeekTool entry displays it. ![]() GeekTool runs an AppleScript that fetches the artwork from iTunes. Then I thought, why not have the Artwork as well as the track info on the desktop, as seen at right (click the image for a larger version)? (I basically got the idea from this previous hint.) So here's my solution: I use GeekTool to display various different bits on my desktop - which mail boxes have unread messages in them, and what is currently playing in iTunes.

![]() As information, in the information theoretic sense, requires that context to become intelligible, it cannot play a primary role. The art of experimental science is contained neither in the mathematical description nor in the data collected. 2 2 2Comments like “It is wrong, moreover, to regard this or that physical quantity as sitting out there with this or that numerical value”, “the information thus solicited makes physics and comes in bits” by Wheeler Wheeler ( 1989) or “I am proposing that the ultimate form of the implementable laws of physics requires only operations avaialble (in principle) in our actual universe” by Landauer Landauer go in this direction But it is also true that that data requires the context in order to be understood: we need to know what the subject of our experiment is, how to prepare it and how to collect the data. Therefore the claim that information plays an essential role in physical theories has a valid basis. It is also true that scientific theories, in the end, are models that can capture only the aspects of nature that can be tested experimentally, the information extracted by the experiment, under suitable circumstances. It is true that any physical process can be used to process information, when properly encoded. The use of information in physics, then, does not warrant a fundamental change of perspective in what constitutes a physical object, as some physicists have claimed. But this is true for any mathematical object: a real number may represent mass, color in the frequency spectrum, the total money supply, the half-life for an isotope, a probability and so on. The precise meaning of this variability is context dependent, as the choices of the elements and binning are not fixed and the meaning of the weights depends on what the distribution is describing. ![]() This expression quantifies the variability of the elements within the distribution, the variety of values one finds. These are the same requirements Shannon put forth for his expression Shannon ( 1948), from which he showed that the only possible choice is H ( p i ) = − ∑ p i log ( p i ). Then H ( r k ) = H ( p i ) + p a H ( q j ). We will turn to statistical mechanics and apply Shannon variability in different ways to recover connections to the Boltzmann, Gibbs and von Neumann entropies. We will study how the expression works over continuous variables, and show how phase space is special as it leaves the Shannon variability invariant under change of coordinates. It measures the number of questions one must ask to identify an element of the distribution, linking its use to information theory. We will show that the expression − ∑ i p i log p i is the only linear indicator of variability. Therefore we will use the term “Shannon variability,” leaving “entropy” to the physical concept. The general idea is that it measures the variability of the elements within a distribution, which is a general concept applicable to many branches of science, and it is independent of the notion of entropy of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. This paper aims to give a crisp characterization of the Shannon entropy that is intuitive and precise. ![]() ![]() ![]() Somewhere Resort Punta Coco Holbox Island Isla Mujeres, ROO Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya Cuautla, MOR Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye Belize San Pedro, BZ Margaritaville Vacation Club Rio Mar Río Grande, 119 Margaritaville Vacation Club St Thomas Frydendal, 030 ![]() Margaritaville Island Hotel Pigeon Forge Pigeon Forge, TN Margaritaville Island Inn Pigeon Forge Pigeon Forge, TN Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe - Houston Montgomery, TX Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg Gatlinburg, TN Margaritaville Beach House Key West Key West, FL Margaritaville Hotel Nashville Nashville, TN Margaritaville Beach Hotel Jacksonville Beach Jacksonville Beach, FL Margaritaville Resort Orlando Kissimmee, FL Margaritaville Beach Hotel Pensacola Beach Pensacola Beach, FL Margaritaville Beach Resort Hollywood Beach Hollywood, FL Margaritaville Bossier City Resort Casino Bossier City, LA Margaritaville Resort Biloxi Biloxi, MS Compass Hotel Anna Maria Sound Bradenton, FL Camp Margaritaville RV Resort & Lodge Pigeon Forge Pigeon Forge, TN Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Lake Lanier Buford, GA Camp Margaritaville RV Resort & Cabana Cabins Auburndale Auburndale, FL Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Breaux Bridge Breaux Bridge, LA Margaritaville at Lanier Islands Buford, GA Margaritaville Beach Cottage Resort – Panama City Beach Panama City Beach, FL Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island South Padre Island, TX Margaritaville Vacation Club Nashville Nashville, TN Margaritaville Vacation Club Atlanta Atlanta, GA Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Crystal Beach Crystal Beach, TX Margaritaville Resort Times Square New York City, NY Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake of the Ozarks Osage Beach, MO Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs Palm Springs, CA Compass Hotel Medford Medford, OR Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau Nassau, NP Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana Punta Cana, 11 Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancún Colonia Morelos, MEX Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo Costa Rica Santa Cruz, G St. ![]() In celebration of his continuing legacy, visitors now can enjoy interactive audio-visual presentations of Maxwell’s life and achievements across an immersive video wall controllable from several user stations.

To summarize the issue, upload and monitor port auto-detection is unreliable.The John C. This did not change anything, all observed symptoms remained the same. The Lolin D32 Pro uses a CH340 that has VID=1A86 and PID=7523.Īs an experiment, I edited the build section of the d32_pro board.json file and added the USB ID's as follows: I suspect (best guess) that port auto detection relies on the USB chip's VID and PID values. So at this point the behavior follows what I saw when the COM5 device was present. The available COM ports list appeared, like this:Ĭhoosing COM4 enables the ESP32’s serial monitor. As before, when I launched the Serial Monitor it did not auto-detect. I rebooted the PC and got back into the Platformio IDE. So I installed a randomly chosen FT232RL USB adapter. I wondered if it could it be a bad USB device. I removed the COM5 USB adapter and everything works perfectly Both upload and serial monitor are correctly auto-detected. But specifying a fixed COMx is problematic since port usage can vary with the other project members. Like this: _monitor_port = COM4_Īfter a flash Upload this automatically opens the serial monitor for my serial debugging. I found that specifying the monitor_port COM4 value in platformio.ini works correctly. For example, the ESP32 board is on COM4, but the monitor_port wildcard is picking COM5. The good news is that this automatically launches the monitor terminal after the flash Upload, but it chooses the wrong port for the serial monitor. I tried specifying the COM port with a wildcard in platformio.ini. This is the list I see in the terminal window when Serial Monitor is launched from the IDE: But I want the serial monitor to be auto-detected and not require any user intervention. As expected, typing "COM4" (or "4") launches the serial monitor. Instead it lists the available ports and waits for me to enter the COMx port name. ![]() But the serial monitor does not auto-detect.

While The Grand Inquisitor’s fate is revealed in Star Wars: Rebels, it’ll be interesting to see his portrayal in live-action, especially as he’s not going to be played by his voice actor from Star Wars: Rebels, Jason Isaacs. A former Jedi Temple guard, The Grand Inquisitor fell to the dark side after watching the way the Jedi treated Ahsoka Tano, something that also led to her disillusionment with the way of the Jedi. ![]() Their leader, The Grand Inquisitor, can be seen in the trailer being played by Rupert Friend. While it’s been speculated that there could be as many as 12 members of the group according to some Star Wars reference books, only 10 have currently made an appearance across various TV shows and video games.įrom what we’ve gleaned from the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer, they’ll be a significant threat, likely dispatched to Tatooine to search for the force-sensitive child that would later grow up to blow up the Death Star and end the reign of the Empire. Trained by Darth Vader, these mercenaries were used during the years following Order 66 to hunt the final Jedi that still roamed the galaxy. While they aren’t officially Sith Lords, as only two Sith Lords can exist at once in Star Wars canon, they serve just below the ranks of Sith Lord. The Sith Inquisitors are a squad of former Jedi that surrendered to the dark side of the force during the events of Order 66. Will Obi-Wan Kenobi live up to expectations? When is it out? And what role will Darth Vader play in the most anticipated Star Wars TV show ever? Let’s break it down. A new force-sensitive Inquisitor named Reva will also be in pursuit of the Jedi Master, but how her story will end is yet to be seen.Ĭonsidering the show is only six episodes, and it’s very likely the last time we see Ewan McGregor perform the role he’s made his own, many, including us, can hardly wait to watch through the whole series. We also see that the Sith Inquisitors, a group of mercenaries determined to exterminate the last of the Jedi, have reached Tatooine and it’s up to Obi-Wan to conceal himself from them, in order to protect Luke. To help wrap your head around the timeline, you might find our article on the Star Wars movies in order useful. From the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer, the show appears to take place 10 or so years following the end of Revenge of the Sith, based on the age of a young Luke Skywalker, who can be seen pretending to pilot a podracer. Obi-Wan Kenobi will finally establish in canon what happened in the years following Revenge of the Sith and before he encountered Maul for the final time. It’s hard to argue that it’s not one of the most anticipated shows in the current, vast Star Wars TV landscape (and we are spoiled for choice when it comes to upcoming Star Wars TV shows ).įollowing his battle with Anakin, Obi-Wan took baby Luke to his aunt and uncle on Tatooine, before beginning a hermitage that would last until Darth Maul tracked the legendary Jedi down for one final battle. Or, at least that’s what we thought.

Contact sprays using insecticidal soaps are affective against the mealybug crawler stage provided coverage is thorough. Chemical control will be difficult because of the protective nature of the wax covering the insects. Refer to UW-Extension publication A3744 “Insect Pest Management for Greenhouses” for a complete listing of available products. However, for this technique to be effective, you must be willing to tolerate a low level infestation of both pests and beneficial insects on your plants.įor more information on biological control, refer to NCR publication 581 “Biological Control of Insects and Other Pests of Greenhouse Crops”.Ĭhemical: There are several insecticides available for control of mealybugs. Mealybug destroyers are a type of beetle that can be very effective in controlling mealybug populations in some situations. Remove any excess soil and compost piles from the growing area to prevent an alternative infestation site. Destroy heavily infested greenhouse plants as they will be difficult, if not impossible, and very costly to clean up. All new plant material should be inspected upon arrival and any infested plants should be returned to the supplier. Non-Chemical: The best mealybug management is avoidance. Check for white cottony masses around drainage holes to determine whether a closer inspection of the roots is necessary. This is particularly common in African violets. Yellowed or wilted foliage may indicate an underground mealybug infestation. Examine any white mass carefully to determine whether it is a mealybug, a mealybug egg mass, or the larval stage of the beneficial mealybug destroyer (see below). ![]() Long-tailed mealybugs can often be found in whorls. Scouting Suggestions: Visually inspect the leaf whorls of susceptible plants. One generation develops every one to three months depending on temperature. Adult males are tiny and winged, but rarely seen, and only live a few days. Immature males (nymphs) settle and spin a white, waxy cocoon. Young female mealybugs go through three instars (stages) and are mobile their entire lives. After laying eggs over a period of five to 10 days, the female dies. Long-tailed mealybugs don’t lay eggs, but bear live young in a manner similar to aphids. Egg-laying is temperature dependent with fewer eggs laid at high temperatures. Life Cycle: Mealybugs lay up to 600 small, yellow eggs in a protective cottony mass. Citrus mealybugs cause additional problems by injecting a toxin as they feed. Honeydew is sticky and can support the growth of sooty mold fungi, which are not harmful to the plant, but if present in high enough concentrations, can impair photosynthesis in the leaves. Because mealybugs feed on sugary plant juices (photosynthates), their waste contains a high sugar content and is referred to as honeydew. Symptoms of mealybug feeding include stunting, chlorosis, defoliation, and wilting. Long-tailed mealybugs prefer dracaena over other species. The citrus mealybug is more common on tropical foliage plants or soft-stemmed, succulent plants such as coleus, fuchsia, and cactus. ![]() Symptoms and Effects: Mealybugs feed at stem tips, and where the leaf meets the stem. Unlike their close relatives the scales, mealybugs retain their legs throughout their life. Because of their appearance, mealybugs may be confused for cottony cushion scale or wooly aphids. They are covered with a white or grey cottony wax. They are somewhat elongated and segmented and have waxy filaments extending from their hind end, giving the appearance of a tail. The citrus mealybug ( Planococcus citri) is the most common greenhouse species and is the most damaging.Īppearance: Mealybugs are pink, soft-bodied insects that range in size from 1/20 to 1/5 of an inch. They can infest all plant parts including the roots. They are tropical insects that are typically only found on perennial foliage plants, and rarely on flowering or bedding plants. Mealybugs are slow-moving, small, oval insects that are covered with a white, cottony wax. Karen Delahaut, formerly UW-Madison Fresh Market Vegetable Program ![]() In February 2018, Ring was acquired by Amazon for an estimated value of between $1.2 to $1.8 billion. The company raised over $200 million in investments from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Qualcomm Ventures, Goldman Sachs, DFJ Growth and Sir Richard Branson. In 2016, Shaquille O'Neal acquired an equity stake in Ring, and subsequently became a spokesperson in the company's marketing. In September 2014, the company was rebranded as Ring as it launched its second-generation hardware Siminoff explained that the new name and updated hardware was more reflective of the company's positioning of the doorbell as a home security product. Siminoff estimated that the appearance led to $5 million in additional sales. ![]() Kevin O'Leary made an offer as a potential investor, but Siminoff declined it. In 2013, Siminoff and Doorbot appeared on an episode of the reality series Shark Tank to seek a $700,000 investment in the company, which he estimated was worth $7 million. Siminoff's team envisioned the product's concept as an "alarm system literally turned inside out" in comparison to other security systems, describing it as a "pre-crime" system. Doorbot was crowdfunded via Christie Street, and raised US$364,000, more than the $250,000 requested. In 2013, Ring was founded as Doorbot by Jamie Siminoff. Various security vulnerabilities have also been discovered in Ring products. Ring's product lines have faced scrutiny over privacy issues the Neighbors service has been criticized by civil rights advocacy groups as building a private surveillance network backed by law enforcement agencies. It was acquired by Amazon in 2018 for over $1.2 billion. The company was first founded in 2013 by Jamie Siminoff as the crowdfunded startup Doorbot it was renamed Ring in 2014, after which it began to receive equity investments. Via Neighbors, Ring may also provide footage and data to law enforcement agencies to assist in investigations. It also operates Neighbors, a social network that allows users to discuss local safety and security issues, and share footage captured with Ring products. It manufactures a titular line of smart doorbells, home security cameras, and alarm systems. Ring LLC is a manufacturer of home security and smart home devices. |
