Fletcher makes it clear to Godber that he does not stand for drugs.Īfter Mackay fails to find any pills on Harris, he is forced to let Harris go. Later, Fletcher returns to his cell where he discusses Harris' predicament with Godber. ![]() As Mackay is frisking Harris, the bottle of pills falls out of Harris' trouser leg and lands in Fletcher’s tea. Harris has his arm in a sling, but Mackay believes he stole some pills from the medical officer. However, Fletcher is interrupted again by Mr Mackay shouting at Harris on the landing. Fletcher leaves his cell and goes downstairs in an attempt to read in peace. The episode opens in Fletcher’s cell where he is reading the book Mandingo. ![]() But there is a surprise for Fletcher in his teacup. In this episode, Fletcher is tasked by Grouty to replace a bottle of pills Harris stole. " A Storm in a Teacup" is an episode of the BBC sitcom Porridge. Inept, non disasterish and just damn right dull, Ba’al is more of a storm in a teacup than an end of the world kick ass God.1st episode of the 3rd season of Porridge " A Storm in a Teacup" The way how when running around on their treasure hunt, everyone comes up with the most insane explanations for everything as if we were ever stupid to think otherwise with the underwater gem being the worst culprit. I think I’ll go for the bit part of Innuit Guard played by Duane Howard who promtly ditches all the main characters in a desert trench early on and spouts a load of prophetic warnings before driving off full pelt in the car. The leading duo are paper thin, the baddie isn’t really bad enough to be thought of as devilish and Ba’al never really makes an appearance. It is very hard to pick out a character as likeable. I suppose seeing the baddie come a cropper is always worthwhile.Īgain death by statue early on wins the day, followed by… well death by statue again at the end of the movie! Maybe the film needs to be renamed Ba’al The Death Statue! Disasters are often referred to but kept off screen and so you’re left with a rotten treasure hunt. Some of the Ba’al effects looks suspicious too, but for TV affair its far from offensive.Īlthough that’s a bit of a sweeping statement. Where it falls down is on the statues that appear to wobble when inserting “gems”. The sandstorm effects aren’t bad to be fair and the varied locations make for some plesant scenary. This lends itself to feeling overly familiar without being actually good at anything and therefore just feels completely by numbers and missable. Ba’al likes to form his face in the storm clouds, make massive sand storms and even our lead looks like Brendan Fraser. ![]() Infact The Mummy appears to have influnced a lot of things in the film. ![]() However one thing that does seem to gel well is the general acting approach as the cast clearly realise that in order to get any kind of entertainment from what’s left, a slightly tounge in cheek approach (a bit like The Mummy but not as good) is used. For once we’re spared for the most part of any romantisisms from our lead duo though so we can thankful for some small mercies! It involves lots of pointing at maps, shouting things like “this is impossible” and plot lines of double crosses on your double crosses that were already triple crossed the last scene. My main problem is that its billed as a disaster movie yet it plays out more like one of those dreaded low budget treasure hunt films you watch when you’re desperately bored. Apparently.Ī storm God, very heavy polystyrene statues, lots of sandstorms, thunder, lightning, rain, awful acting, rubber swords and evil clouds. Some polystyrene statues house Ba’al The Storm God who wants to wreak havoc on the world. So that means we’ve got to watch it in fascination right? Good! Ba’al ends up being such a mish mash of nothing it ruins itself before we can turn it off. Infact, its so bad its sub movie altogether.

![]() ![]() Base -2 uses the same decomposition formula. The biggest advantage of the negabinary system is that it can express negative numbers without using a special sign bit or a special signed number representation, such as two's complement or offset binary (see encode negative binary tool). Now, extracting the coefficients, we get 6 10 = 11010 -2. The negabinary numeral system uses the same sum formula to convert a number, except instead of powers of two, it's decomposed as powers of negative two. ![]() The coefficients are 110, therefore 6 10 = 110 2. The coefficients create the binary number. To find a decimal number's representations in a binary base, write it as a sum of powers of two and then copy the coefficients before the powers. Let's review how to convert a base 10 number to the binary base. It takes a value in base 2 and returns this value in base -2. To decode this value, the binary number after the minus sign is converted to base ten and then the base ten number is displayed in the output together with the minus sign in front of it.This browser utility converts binary numbers to negabinary numbers. It's the naive method that creates negative binary numbers with the help of the "-" sign that's placed before an ordinary binary number. The last method is the easiest to decode. The coefficients a 0, a 1, …, a n are individual bits of the input binary number in base -2 representation. In base minus 2 representation, the decimal number x is immediately calculated by the formula x = a 0(-2) n + a 1(-2) n-1 + … + a n(-2) 0. ![]() Each output decimal number in these four representations has a "-" sign automatically appended so these representations don't work with positive decimal numbers. Therefore, the tool first deletes the most significant bit and then applies the two's complement method on the number. The offset binary method (also known as excess code or biased representation) is almost the same as the two's complement method, but it has a sign bit at the beginning. In the sign bit representation, this tool removes the most significant bit, which indicates the sign of the number and converts this number to base ten. To decode a negative one's complement value, simply the inverse is taken as encoding and decoding in one's complement is just the bit invert operation. For example, in two's complement encoding the number is first inverted and then one is added to the result but in two's complement decoding, the same is done in the reverse order – first, one is subtracted and then the result is inverted. To decode a binary number, it undoes the encoding process and performs the encoding steps in the reverse order. This tool is able to decode six negative binary representation types – two's complement, one's complement, sign bit, offset binary, negative base two, and the naive scheme. This is the reverse operation of encoding a negative binary that converts a negative integer to its binary representation. This browser-based utility converts negative binary values to negative integer values. ![]() (The program carries a dedication to the original show’s co-creator, Richard Lindheim, who died in January.) “Who do you go to if you can’t go to the cops?” the premiere’s damsel in distress asks, encapsulating the underlying premise in a single sentence.

OK, so it’s not quite grandma’s “The Equalizer,” although the first show was probably most memorable for its synthesized theme. They include Bishop (Chris Noth), now running a private-security firm, and a husband-and-wife team that consists of a sharpshooter (Liza Lapira) and hacker (Adam Goldberg), both inordinately handy skills in a pinch. Robert McCall has become Latifah’s Robyn McCall, a former CIA agent quietly raising her teenage daughter (Laya DeLeon Hayes) with help from her live-in aunt (Lorraine Toussaint).Ĭonveniently stumbling on a young woman in jeopardy – she witnessed a murder by some very bad people – McCall quickly demonstrates her special skills, before calling on some old friends and colleagues for assistance. If they’re in the market for another procedural with a likable lead and an inordinately good cast for this sort of by-the-numbers endeavor, they just might. The premiere does a nice job of laying out all the ingredients, hoping at least some of that audience will come back for seconds. But the character isn’t all that’s changed, as the show adopts more of a team concept than the original’s loner, even if the basic template – a pretty fun one – still involves a shadowy savior of those in need.ĬBS was happy enough with the concept, ordered as a series without the usual pilot process, to give it a coveted introduction after the Super Bowl, which should ensure a fair amount of sampling. “The Equalizer’s” evolution continues, from that stately old British gent in the 1980s to a couple of Denzel Washington movies to Queen Latifah in a new CBS series. ![]() After her public meltdown in 2007, Ms Spears was first put into conservatorship in 2008 by her now. I care deeply about the wellbeing of the people I love and have loved. The TMZ documentary also says that Britney Spears' marriage with Sam Asghari is in trouble. I want to take accountability for my own missteps in all of this as well as be part of a world that uplifts and supports. “I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed I also feel compelled to respond, in part, because everyone involved deserves better and most importantly, because this is a larger conversation that I wholeheartedly want to be part of and grow from.”Īfter acknowledging that he was a man in a “privileged position” of power, Timberlake concluded, “I know this apology is a first step and doesn’t absolve the past. Just 25 years old at the time, the superstar singer had already lived a long life in the spotlight. I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism,” he wrote in February 2021. Centuries from now, 2007 will be remembered as the year of Britney Spearss meltdown.

While the twosome often gushed about each other - and infamously rocked matching denim outfits at the 2001 American Music Awards - their relationship came to an end in early 2002. ![]() “Like, we’ve gone through so much together and we’ve known each other since we were 12 years old. But it is a deeper love now than when I was younger,” Spears gushed to The Observer in 2001. “With him, it’s still the same as I felt two years ago. In 1999, as their careers skyrocketed, Timberlake and Spears confirmed that they were dating. The former boy bander and pop princess met in the early ’90s while filming The Mickey Mouse Club. Timberlake and Spears called it quits two decades ago, but fans are still invested in their rocky romance.

One change worth noting is that changes in the parameters like font size, line height etc. This is how the new mirror mode looks like: This was an awesome idea since I could now use RichTextEditor.HtmlText to convert the text entered by users into html text! Voila! And that was the last missing piece of the puzzle! That's when one of my coworkers from Hitachi Solutions Europe, Jürgen Tomaszewski ( Twitter, LinkedIn) suggested me to use a rich text editor as the input control instead of a text input control. The fact that we had to rely on something outside of the Power Platform didn't seem correct. But something about it didn't seem right. The user could then paste their text, convert it into html on the website and then paste back the html text into the app. My initial thought was to simply add a button to launch one of the many free online text to html text converter websites. So the only challenge remaining was to convert the text entered by a user into HTML text. I was using a text input control for users to input the text they wanted to see on the teleprompter. I then found the following HTML tag that does the trick: "Your text here".Instead of using a label to display the scrolling text, I decided to use a HTML text control so I could use some kind of CSS to flip the text.Seemed impossible at first but then I made some fundamental changes: His feedback was to add a "mirror/glass" mode that would create a mirror image of the text to work like how some real teleprompters do.

The other knocks 33% off, with no bedding bundle (but a big discount on bedding, if you do buy some). One knocks 25% off mattress prices and includes a bedding bundle for free. There are currently two main Nectar mattress sales that the brand alternates between. Here are the prices you can expect to pay for the Nectar mattress: Despite some sneakiness with its pricing, it's actually one the best value mattress options around, in terms of what you're getting for your money. In fact, it's quite difficult to tell what MSRPs even are, because Nectar will include the value of any freebie extras in the 'total price' listed on its site.īased on the regular sale prices, the Nectar sits near the bottom of the mid-range bracket, and we consider it one of the best affordable mattresses around. When shopping for a Nectar mattress, the first thing you should know is that these beds are never sold at full price. Generous extras – long trial, free returns, often a free bedding bundle.Brand's cheapest mattress, queen size usually $669 - $799.Delivery and returns are free, there's a full 365-night sleep trial (which matches the longest you'll find anywhere) and a forever warranty. Want to know more? Read on for our full Nectar mattress review. While this mattress performed well in our tests, the extras help it stand out from the crowd, especially for that lower mid-range price. Edge support is what you'd expect for a memory foam bed – sufficient, but not super firm. ![]() Motion isolation here is also very good, so it'll suit couples who tend to shift a lot in their sleep, or operate on different schedules. We were impressed with how well this cover kept us from overheating – a common issue with non-cooling memory foam mattresses. On top, you'll find a specialized cooling cover made from polyethylene fibers to help draw away heat. We think it offers a good middle-ground for most sleepers, but do factor in personal preference – some heavier people, as well as back and stomach sleepers, might prefer a firmer option. You won't sink too far in, but there is enough contouring to comfortably cushion your joints. The design includes three different foam layers: an upper layer of memory foam for that body-contouring feel, a more responsive and supportive middle layer, and a sturdy foundation layer.īut what's it actually like to sleep on? It's one of the firmer memory foam mattresses we've tested, but we found it delivered an excellent balance of softness and support. The Nectar mattress is available in all-foam and hybrid versions, but we're focusing on the former here. What follows is an updated review of the newest version of the Nectar mattress. We called in a twin size of the updated Nectar Original in May 2023, and slept on it for three weeks. We initially reviewed this mattress in June 2020, but since then Nectar has updated the design slightly – the cover was replaced with an improved version, and the base layer was made an inch thicker.

For the time being, in order to hopefully get a test flight in by the Wheels, Wings, and Walkers contest that Ill be entering in, I've ordered TREX Helicopter brand linkages and balls. While I *believe* its possible, it will take a lot more work. I tried and tried, multiple iterations, designs, and permutations, to make 3d printable versions of these. These linkages are one of the most critical components for making this build work. Admittedly, progress slowed to a near stand still for a short time, here's why: I figured since Hackaday just featured me (massive thanks! :D), I should give a bit of an update as to what's going on. All traits that are extremely desirable for a search and rescue volunteer, who doesnt want to carry anymore gear than necessary. You pull NAVI out of your pocket, hold it in the air, and hit the take off button. You dont need to place it on the ground in order to initialize and take off. No arms to fold out, no bolts to tighten in order to lock said arms in place. There were other projects along the way, but these are the most notable, showing major progression in making things smaller and lighter.Īnd now, NAVI. As the name implies, it took a fair bit of inspiration from the DJI Mavic Pro. ![]() Then I started working on the Maviclone, late last year.
