I import all of my CDs using a tool called XLD, available at. Using Discogs allows me to track the state of my media (some of it is damaged and needs to be replaced, for example) as well as ensure I don’t buy the same item twice. How you use Discogs is ultimately up to you but it is an incredibly handy way to track what you already own, find new stuff you’d like to own and so on. You can choose to be super detailed about how you add items to your collection by selecting the exact release or more simply add the first item you find. The database contains user submitted and curated information about most releases available with surprising detail. You can search for and add to your collection each piece of physical music media you own or are interested in owning and add it to your collection or wishlist, respectively. In their words Discogs is “a platform for music discovery and collection” and this is exactly how I use it. CatalogingĪ couple of years ago I learned about a site called. Before we get into how I copy my CDs to digital lets first discuss how I catalog and keep track of my collection. That said, I like to also take my collection with me in digital formats and enjoy knowing that it comes from my own personal collection.

We captured the entire 50 km test route without any edit so that you can see exactly what we did, what speed we travelled at and what traffic conditions we encountered. The mooted fuel consumption under a mixed cycle is 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers – how much do you think we can do with air conditioner on, and driving at speeds up to 110 km/h? You have probably seen our test drive video, and perhaps our Genting Hill Climb video, but here we are with an actual fuel consumption test, run at normal road speeds (not at 60 km/h), so you can get an idea of just what is possible with this car. Put together with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the drive train is very similar to that of the Lexus ES250, and although the Camry is not as plushily appointed as the Lexus, the price difference is enough to get many customers to sign up for it. ![]() The Toyota Camry’s Dynamic Force 2.5 litre engine is the talk of the town, boosting power to 209 PS and 253 Nm of torque. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sitting for long periods of time is bad for your health, even on those days when you train and gain enough daily activity. Yet, more and more of us are spending a tremendous amount of time sitting each day at work, in traffic or watching TV, without much movement. In addition to being physically active, it's important to avoid prolonged sitting. It's widely known that physical activity is a major factor in maintaining health. Plt.pause(0.1) # pause 0.Simply put, our bodies are designed to move. Plt.axis() # set axis limits, to avoid rescaling Y = np.power(x, z/10) # y coordinates of plot for animation If there is an active figure, it will be updated and displayed before the pause.Īnd this is pretty much exactly what we want. The documentation of the plt.pause(interval) command states: Unfortunately those plots will not be interactive (they freeze), except you insert an input() command, but then the code will stop. Essentially plt.pause(0.001) seems to be the closest equivalent to matlab's drawnow. So here is a code that draws and updates a figure and keeps going. Plt.show() and plt.draw() are unnecessary and / or blocking in one way or the other. I figured out that the plt.pause(0.001) command is the only thing needed and nothing else. Here is a screenshot of VSCode alongside SumatraPDF, also the process is fast enough to get semi-live update rate (I can get near 10Hz on my setup just use time.sleep() between intervals) Sample code for outputing plot to a file import numpy as npĪfter first run, open the output file in one of the viewers mentioned above and enjoy. On Linux there are several options such as Evince (GNOME) and Ocular (KDE) On Windows I use SumatraPDF which is free, fast and light (only uses 1.8MB RAM for my case) PDF can support vector formats and there are lightweight viewers which support live updating.SVG is good but coudn't find good viewer for it except the web browser which by default needs manual refresh.Vector based formats are both small and fast This wasn't satisfactory for me so I found another solution outside of the box SaveToFile and View in external viewerįor this the saving and viewing should be both fast and the viewer shouldn't lock the file and should update the content automatically Selecting Format for Saving run the plot on a separate thread (too complicated). ![]() block the script from exiting (that's plt.show() and not what I want).If you think about it, after the script is finished, the program is terminated and there is no logical way to hold the plot this way, so there are two options This was my actual problem that couldn't find satisfactory answer for, I wanted plotting that didn't close after the script was finished (like MATLAB), If (cnt = 10): # update plot each 10 points If the amount of data is too much you can lower the update rate with a simple counter cnt += 1 # plt.axis(, x, -1, 1]) # disable autoscaling I forgot to say that I would like to update the existing window every time I plot something, instead of creating a new one. Plt.show(block=False) #this creates an empty frozen window. #plt.show() #this plots correctly, but blocks execution. from math import *įor pow in range(1,5): # plot x^1, x^2. Could you have a look at my code and tell me if you see something wrong? Here is my code. From other threads I've read, I suspect that whether show(block=False) works or not depends on the backend. If I simply call show(), the result is plotted properly but execution is blocked until the window is closed. I have tried using show(block=False) as some people suggest, but all I get is a frozen window. ![]() I am having problems trying to make matplotlib plot a function without blocking execution. ![]() ![]() Windows 11 users can make a lot of privacy related changes to the system in a matter of minutes using the free application.

The Makoto testing device consisted of subjects reacting to both a visual and auditory stimulus and striking one out of 30 potential targets on three towers. Following a 10-minute rest subjects repeated the testing sequence and after a similar rest period a third and final testing sequence was performed. Following the completion of the questionnaire subjects performed a 2-minute quickness and reaction test on the Makoto testing device (Makoto USA, Centennial CO) and a 20-second Wingate Anaerobic Power test. The survey consisted of 4 questions asking each subject to describe their feelings of energy, fatigue, alertness and focus for that moment. Following consumption of the supplement or placebo subjects rested quietly for 10-minutes prior to completing a survey and commencing exercise. During each session, subjects reported to the Human Performance Laboratory and were provided with either 120 ml of a high energy drink (SUP), commercially marketed as Redline Extreme ® or 120 ml of a placebo (PL) that was similar in taste and appearance but contained no active ingredients. Twelve male strength/power athletes (21.1 ± 1.3 y 179.8 ± 7.1 cm 88.6 ± 12.1 kg 17.6 ± 3.3% body fat) underwent two testing sessions administered in a randomized and double-blind fashion. In addition, the effect of the pre-exercise drink on subjective feelings of energy, fatigue, alertness and focus was also explored. If any of you know of any other products that produce that same insane feeling, please LET ME KNOW!!! I haven't found anything yet and my wallet isn't that deep.The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a pre-exercise high energy drink on reaction time and anaerobic power in competitive strength/power athletes. That would make my workouts so much better than having to naturally push myself. I wish I was getting the same effects as everyone on here describes. I also don't react to Redbull, Monster, Rockstar, etc. I can drink a whole pot of coffee and go right to sleep w/o any problems (don't try it, coffee is a natural diuretic).

I've read reviews that it gave other people gas. My friend said it gave him a 3 hr hard on and won't drink it again. this stuff is VERY strong and not to be messed around with without trying small amounts at first.

I suggest to anyone that tries it to start off with 1/4 of a can and HAVE FOOD IN YOUR STOMACH. I can usually take a lot of caffeine and I've done almost every illegal drug in the past (you know the experimental years) so I was surprised this has such an effect on me. I was wondering if I should go to the hospital or not. I went home after and crashed on the couch, nautious, my heart racing, shaky and sweating. I was horny as hell and I almost went up to a guy to tell him he was HOT. I could feel my temperature rise and I all out felt like i was on ecstacy. I drank half the can felt a major rush, lots of energy but not just the normal caffeine or energy drink buzz. ![]() My boyfriend had it before and warned (just drink half of the can) I read the side of the can and it said the same (it also had about a million warnings and said who should not take it) ![]() ![]() For maximum detail in your image projections, or if you’re doing large murals, or are in lit areas, you’ll need a brighter, higher resolution, more powerful projector like the Impression1400.Įach of these new projectors includes Artograph’s built-in grids for design and composition.

![]() My ability to recall memories is diminished. It’s like missing a sense, akin to sight or hearing.Īphantasia presents some difficulties. I felt saddened, because I am essentially missing out on such a basic human experience. As much as I had no understanding for an active mind’s eye, they had no understanding of my darkness. My experience seemed alien to them, and some reported that their capacity for visualising was a big part of their understanding of life. When I described my darkness, people were utterly shocked. Once I discovered my aphantasia, I proceeded to tell friends and family about my condition. I dream in words, ideas, feelings and verbal knowledge of circumstances. Yet I also experience darkness while I sleep. Note that most people with aphantasia are still able to dream with visual imagery. When told to ‘count sheep’ while falling asleep, we don’t realise that people can actually see sheep jumping over a fence. When told to ‘imagine a beach’, we assume that it merely means to imagine the concept of a beach. This lack of knowledge is largely rooted in our use of language as a substitute. Many of us with aphantasia don’t realise that we have this condition. I disclosed my experience on AVEN, and members started talking about aphantasia. Over the years, I have experienced a lot of confusion about sexuality, given that it’s highly rooted in the capacity to visually summon arousing images in the mind. ![]() ![]() I found out about my aphantasia while browsing message boards on the Asexuality Visibility Education Network (AVEN). The condition is estimated to affect 2 per cent of people. A study by the psychologists Rebecca Keogh and Joel Pearson at the University of New South Wales in Sydney showed that unaffected persons have more activity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain in comparison to those with aphantasia. For most of us, aphantasia is a congenital condition, but others develop it following a brain injury. In his writings, Zeman explains that voluntary imagery is generated in fronto-parietal and in posterior brain regions, ascribing vividness to biological differences from one person to the next. The term ‘aphantasia’ itself was coined only recently, in 2015, by Adam Zeman, professor of cognitive and behavioural neurology at the University of Exeter. I have no sensory experience.Īphantasia has likely existed throughout our evolution, but it wasn’t documented until 1880, when Francis Galton asked people to imagine a breakfast table and, based on their reports, noted that the vividness of the scene in the mind’s eye occurred on a spectrum. When I close my eyes, I experience only darkness. While most people are able to ‘see’ images associated with stories and thoughts when their eyes are closed, I have never had this gift. I have aphantasia, a neurological condition that leaves me with a ‘blind mind’s eye’: the inability to mentally visualise my thoughts. It’s like missing a sense, and only imagination can compensate ![]() With aphantasia, my mind’s eye sees only darkness, not images. ![]() |
