![]() After all, most hardcore gamers are used to saving up and splurging on their gaming rigs, and many of them like to show off their gear online. To that end, Razer seems like a sharp choice for partnership number one. Play as Lucio the healer, for instance, and you'll see green effects when you shoot your sonic amplifier's green ammo at enemies, yellow effects when you fire off a yellow healing beam at your allies.ĭePauw notes the strong overlap between gamers and color-changing light aficionados (he calls them "RGB lovers"), and claims that Razer was one of the partnerships people were clamoring for as soon as Hue Entertainment was first announced. Thanks to the Razer partnership, the lighting effects are more focused and refined than the standard Hue Sync approach, with specific color schemes for each character and for the various weapons in the game. ![]() Available now, the integration brings Razer's color-changing keyboards, mice, and mousepads into the Hue fold, making each of them into an extra Hue Entertainment accessory whenever you play a compatible game.ĭePauw's team showed off how it works with the popular first-person shooter Overwatch (though we had to wait a bit first for an ill-timed game update to install). ![]() That means there's plenty of incentive for Philips to get Hue Entertainment right from the start - which likely explains why it's been in development for so long, dating back to early pilot integrations with "Sharknado" and the "12 Monkeys" TV series.įor now, Hue Entertainment's first official partner is the gaming accessory brand Razer. After all, content makers won't want to sign up for something that makes their stuff less enjoyable to watch. New partnerships like those will offer lighting effects that are even more carefully-refined than what Hue Sync is capable of on its own, and they'll be key to Hue Entertainment's success, something DePauw is keenly aware of. Sync your Razer Chroma-supported devices and your color-changing lights with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, DOTA2 and Overwatch. He blinks, then he smirks, then he blushes a bit and blurts out a "Yes," before quickly adding that his team isn't ready to announce anything just yet. At one point, I ask if Philips has any plans to integrate lighting changes with televised sports broadcasts. "There is no wrong setup."Īn affable Belgian docked in distinctive, wire-rimmed glasses, DePauw comes across like a mercurial Hogwarts professor, and his enthusiasm for Hue Entertainment is as authentic as any pitch I've heard at CES all week. "We're not going to provide an ideal setup because every living room is different," says DePauw. You'll do that in the Hue Sync software by dragging little icons representing your Hue devices around a makeshift mockup of your living room. To start, you'll need to teach Hue how you've set your lights up. It was one of the most impressive demos I've seen in five years covering CES. He went on to offer several non-scripted demonstrations, each of them with appropriate colors and positioning, and barely any visible latency. "We take a look at what is being played, we define zones on the screen, and then we push out a script on the fly," explains Filip Jan DePauw, Hue Entertainment's business lead. Hue Entertainment's colorful effects seem like an especially good fit for children's movies. Hook your computer up to your television, and you'll really be in business. Download it and get everything up and running, and it'll match perfectly timed color changes with whatever's on your screen, from Pixar movies to PowerPoint presentations. We've long wondered how Philips would line up enough content to make the pitch compelling - its answer at CES 2018 is new software for your PC or Mac called Hue Sync coming in the first half of this year. Hue Entertainment promises to sync your lights up with movies, video games, and music for dramatic color effects that enhance whatever's on your screen. Here's a sneak peak at what Hue Entertainment will look like, with color-changing lights synced to a lyric video for the animated film Coco: /UJxj7Ae3cF- Ry Crist JanuNow that's Entertainment

![]() Which is why the Goliath birdeater has a different tactic for shooing away would-be predators: hair missiles. Even though they have long fangs that can pierce human skin, their venom isn't particularly toxic to us, or indeed to many would-be rainforest foes. They are truly gigantic, but relatively harmless to humans. Native to northern South America, this rainforest tarantula weighs about as much as a hockey puck and has a body length comparable to a mid-sized smartphone - not to mention a leg span of about 12 inches (30 centimeters). The Goliath birdeater? Well, this spider is huge, but it doesn't eat birds often enough to warrant the name.īut at least half of the Goliath birdeater's name is accurate - it's a real giant: the largest and heaviest spider in the world. For instance, a flying fox is just a big bat, ringworm is actually a fungal infection, jellyfish aren't fish, and sure, anteaters eat ants, but they consume more termites and other insect larvae than ants. Yikes! PetlinDmitry/ShutterstockĬommon names of animals aren't known for their precision, and sometimes they're just plain misleading. But urban legends never die – there's always someone who swears it happened to an unnamed "friend.The Goliath birdeater spider ( Theraphosa blondi) weighs in as the world's largest and heaviest spider. No one has ever explained how they measured speed or jumping height, and of course no one has ever produced a specimen found eating human or camel flesh. One person offered to have his brother in Iraq send me a 30-cm specimen, but backed down when the brother claimed he couldn't get an export permit. But that doesn't oblige me to believe every tall tale I hear from someone who never, under any circumstances, can give the name of the person it happened to! If the source is an unnamed person ("my nephew," "someone who just returned from Iraq," "shepherds we spoke to," "a Marine," "an airman,"), that's not evidence! And why not? They deserve all the diversions they can get. I have the utmost respect for soldiers but I also know a few, and know that one of their favorite pastimes is sitting around spinning yarns. I have received (by email) a lot of abuse for doubting these stories – mainly from civilians who probably think it's unpatriotic to doubt the word of a soldier. Any ill effects could be prevented with disinfectant.) See this article for National Geographic's take on camel spider myths. They positively have no venom, and no way to inject it even if they did have it! (If they bite and manage to break the skin, the wound is likely to be infected, and such cases may have started some of the stories. Their anatomy and physiology are well known. The species in Iraq were studied in Iraq by British scientists during the 39 years (1919-58) the country was under British control. Some species can produce a barely audible stridulation (sounding like a buzz or hiss). When they run toward someone standing in the hot desert sun (or toward their camel or into their tent) they are seeking out shade to hide in. They lay their eggs in the soil, not in camels! They are predatory and do not feed off large animals like camels or humans. ![]() Any jumping ability they might have is nothing special. The maximum speed cited in scientific sources is ten miles per hour, and the only accurately measured speeds I could find were less than 1 mile per hour. This builds on a previous myth that spread during the Gulf War. ![]()

Tindstagramming doesn’t happen simply because it’s easy, or because the app’s algorithm is subpar it happens because a lot of guys (both online and IRL) still don’t trust in a woman’s ability to say no and mean it. If Instagram removed DMs, nothing would change. If Tinder were to do away with linked Instagram accounts tomorrow, the problem wouldn’t be fixed. Yes, it’s ineffective, but it’s so low effort that it’s hard to justify not doing it if you are committed to doing everything you can to meet girls.” He used to write down girls’ Instagram handles before swiping right on them, so he could follow up with a DM if they didn’t match, a method he said worked for him about “2 to 3 times out of 30.” “Part of good game is not giving a fuck and doing everything you can to meet women,” he explained. Mike, an NYC-based Tindstagrammer who preferred to stay anonymous, told me that he’s actually gotten dates from these blind messages. “I didn’t think this actually happened - that people honest to god thought DM-sliding from Tinder was gonna be the way to, what, get laid? Fall in love? I don’t know what they’re looking for, but it’s not coming from me.” “The first time it happened, I was honestly shocked,” Rancourt confessed to me. He kept explaining that he was a romantic and not creepy.” The unwanted messages kept on coming for over two years, until Meuser finally bit the bullet and blocked the guy this July. “I told him that I was flattered, but I didn’t want to meet him, but he kept sending me messages and not respecting the fact that I said no. “At first, it seemed very harmless, just a sweet guy who was very interested in me,” Katie Meuser, a Tinder user from Chicago told me about one of her latest Tindstagramming experiences. Unfortunately, this is far from the first case of Tindstagramming gone wrong. Hooooly shit /e8JhAI3gIx- Reptilia May 1, 2017 ![]() The one that I did respond to, he got so angry that I turned him down that he wrote a fake Craigslist ad and posted my Instagram, and I woke up to like 15 horny dudes messaging me.” “They definitely come across as super douchey, and obviously don’t respect boundaries when they message you even though you didn’t match. “Usually, it’s some dude saying he saw me on Tinder and thinks I’m hot,” Madison Killian, who goes by on Twitter, told me about her Tindstagram messages. Why did this picture just dm on instagram calling me a bitch for not matching with them on tinder - ria August 12, 2017 “ when sending an IG message, I can show myself - as my Instagram is a layer in an internet persona I consciously built.”Ī segment I like to call, "boys who don't have a chance that found me on tinder and decided to slide into the instagram DM's" /jkZPYVVxMA- lindsay bluth December 9, 2016 “Tinder profile, most of the time, don’t provide enough information for you to find common ground with the other person,” Daniel Elf, a Tindstagrammer from Tel Aviv, explained to me. Why would you go to so much trouble to message someone who’s already indicated that she’s not interested? The Tindstagrammer knows that the person he’s contemplating Super Liking will probably never match with him, but the issue is that he vehemently believes it’s not his fault. But with the advent of Instagram support, the jaded and matchless finally had another option. If you didn’t match with someone, it was practically impossible to find them off the app. Previously, Tinder had been pretty surprisingly decent at keeping its users anonymous - the only thing you knew about your potential date was their first name, general employment or education info, and whatever was revealed through their short (and usually terrible) bio. On its face, the move seemed pretty inoffensive - now you could wow potential matches with your expertly curated grid, great! - but in practice, the change ushered in a new era for the app. The phenomenon has its roots in a new feature announced in April of 2015, when Tinder first allowed users to link their Instagram accounts to the app. ![]() Tindstagramming happens when someone - almost always a guy - decides to subvert that cardinal rule, by leaving the app and taking his creepy DMs to Instagram. If you don’t both swipe right, you can’t. If you both swipe right, you can message each other. If you’re unfamiliar with Tinder, it works like this: You’re presented with a person’s profile, and you choose to swipe left, to dismiss, or right, to match. ![]() ![]() Intellij IDEA supports web and enterprise mode as well as mobile backend platforms.ĭuring the design of IntelliJ IDEA, its developers kept in mind all kinds of users who use JVM-based programming languages such as Java, and Kotlin.

![]() The following expression specifies America/Los_Angeles for the time zone region: You can replace the UTC offset with the TZR (time zone region) format element. For example, the following expressions have the same value: Two TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE values are considered identical if they represent the same instant in UTC, regardless of the TIME ZONE offsets stored in the data. You can specify TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE as a literal as follows: TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONEįractional_seconds_precision is optional and specifies the number of digits in the fractional part of the SECOND datetime field. Specify the TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data type as follows: ![]() The time zone offset is the difference (in hours and minutes) between local time and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, formerly Greenwich Mean Time). TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE is a variant of TIMESTAMP that includes a time zone region name or time zone offset in its value. NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE determines the language used for character data such as MON. The value of NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT initialization parameter determines the timestamp format when a character string is converted to the TIMESTAMP data type. Using the example format, specify TIMESTAMP as a literal as follows: ![]() You can specify the TIMESTAMP literal in a format like the following: The fractional seconds precision is 2 because there are 2 digits in ' 78'. TIMESTAMP įractional_seconds_precision is optional and specifies the number of digits in the fractional part of the SECOND datetime field. Specify the TIMESTAMP data type as follows: It also stores fractional seconds, which are not stored by the DATE data type. It stores year, month, day, hour, minute, and second values. The TIMESTAMP data type is an extension of the DATE data type. Otherwise, Oracle Database may not return the query results you expect. You can use the TRUNC (date) SQL function to ensure that the time fields are set to midnight, or you can make the query a test of greater than or less than ( =, or >) instead of equality or inequality ( = or !=). If your queries use a date format without a time portion, then you must ensure that the time fields in the DATE column are set to midnight. Oracle Database DATE columns always contain fields for both date and time. If you specify a date value without a date, then the default date is the first day of the current month. If you specify a date value without a time component, then the default time is midnight. Oracle Database automatically converts character values that are in the default date format into date values when they are used in date expressions. The specification for NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE is included because ' DEC' is not a valid value for MON in all locales. The date format in the example includes a two-digit number for the day of the month, an abbreviation of the month name, the four digits of the year, and a 24-hour time designation. The default date format for an Oracle Database date value is derived from the NLS_DATE_FORMAT and NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE initialization parameters. The following is an example of an ANSI date literal: DATE ''Īlternatively, you can specify an Oracle Database date value as shown in the following example: TO_DATE('1998-DEC-25 17:30','YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN') For each DATE value, Oracle Database stores the following information: century, year, month, date, hour, minute, and second.Ĭonverting a character or numeric value to a date value with the TO_DATE functionĪ date can be specified as an ANSI date literal or as an Oracle Database date value.Īn ANSI date literal contains no time portion and must be specified in exactly the following format: DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD' Although date and time information can be represented in both character and number data types, the DATE data type has special associated properties.

Although I am glad I did play SkateBIRD, I don’t see myself playing it again. Given that the development of the game was delayed several times, it is surprising that these issues still existed at release.Īs much as I love birds and skateboarding, it is unfortunate that my expectations fell short and I was left disheartened, more so due to the gameplay mechanic rather than the super cute art, wholesome story and clever concept. But the controls and the camera function do need a lot of improvement. It is a fantastic concept, yes, and I love the colourful, thoughtful adorable art style and music behind it. With that said, there sadly is not much I can say about the game that would make me want to recommend it to anyone.

The Bird also has a wide variety of fancy clothes that are available right from the start. I found this quite interesting and quite clever, however, the music became a little repetitive over time.

The tricks were seemingly too simple, and the game didn’t give me much choice for the skating variations that I was expecting to see. The camera doesn’t follow around like you would expect and I had to constantly adjust the angle. However, the actual movement around the room was really difficult. After some frustration I found another bird standing around that gave me a list of tasks to complete.
