![]() ![]() Skeptics, however, say it’s a clever medieval fake.īoth sides claim they have evidence that backs them up and discount the research that points to the opposing view. ![]() Proponents of the Shroud still insist that the man in the image – face swollen and bruised, hands and feet punctured by nails, and back scourged by Roman whips – is Jesus Christ. With the discovery of the negative image, the stakes became even higher. Believers and skeptics have tussled over its origins ever since – as the crowds continue to line up in Turin. In 1390, Pierre d’Arcis, the bishop of Troyes, wrote to the Pope, declaring it a fake, designed to attract gullible tourists. While developing the pictures, Pia realized that the photographic plate showed what appeared to be a perfect negative image of a bloodied and bruised man – an image that could not be seen with the naked eye.Įven before Pia’s discovery, the Shroud was controversial. The global Shroud phenomenon really took off in 1898 when amateur photographer Secondo Pia became the first person to photograph it. It was moved to Turin, Italy, in 1578, and has been attracting visitors to the northern Italian city ever since. It was this strange sight that drew pilgrims from the 14th century, when the “burial cloth of Jesus” first came to light in France. Image revealed after centuries of worshipĪt first glance, the rust-colored image of the man on the world’s most famous strip of linen is faint, and almost cartoonish. In its own way, it’s become one of the world’s most unusual travel attractions, continuing to draw visitors despite the fact that few are now able to see it. Many believers continue to revere the Shroud despite numerous scientific efforts to cast doubt on its provenance. Today, Marinelli is one of the world’s most prominent “shroudies” – people who believe that the 14’5” x 3’7” linen cloth, which bears an image of what appears to be the body of a man, is in fact the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. I left the shop skeptical, and didn’t think any more of it.” “The idea that the funeral sheet of Christ with his image printed on it seemed… ridiculous. “I was surprised and disconcerted,” says Marinelli. Transfixed, she entered the shop and asked a nun who had painted the original version, only to be told there was no artist, it was a photograph of the Shroud of Turin. “It was black and white with his eyes closed, suffering but serene,” she said. The image, she said, stood out among the other items for sale – a kitschy array of ashtrays with the face of the Pope and plastic representations of Jesus on the cross, with eyes that opened and closed. ![]() When she was 24, Emanuela Marinelli was walking near the Vatican in Rome when she caught a glimpse of a “beautiful face of Christ” printed on a souvenir in the window of a shop run by nuns. ![]()

Ukuleles are generally made of wood, although variants have been made composed partially or entirely of plastic.

The ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian interpretation of a small guitar-like instrument brought by Portuguese immigrants. As time passed and the instrument spread around Europe, it took on many names and various structural characteristics. ![]() The original instrument was the mandore, which evolved in the fourteenth century from the lute.

Ukulele is best used for folk, novelty, and specialty music. Mandolin is often played in bluegrass, classical, some forms of ragtime, or even folk rock. ![]() There are also less common sopranino and bass ukuleles at the extreme ends of the size spectrum. Ukuleles come in four types or sizes: Soprano, Concert, Tenor, and Baritone. Mandolin styles are the Neapolitan (bowl back) style, F-style (Folorentine), A-style, and Mandolinetto. shapes like an oval, called "pineapple" ukulele, or a boat-paddle shape, or square, often made out of an old wooden cigarette box. Typically ukuleles have a figure-8 body shape like that of a small acoustic guitar, but are often seen in non-std. The mandolin soundboard (the top) comes in many shapes-but generally round or teardrop-shaped, sometimes with scrolls or other projections. These instruments may have just four strings or some strings may be paired in courses, giving the instrument a total of 6 or 8 strings. The hollow wooden body has a neck with a flat fretted fingerboard, a nut & floating bridge, a tailpiece or pinblock at the edge of the face where the strings are attached, and mechanical tuning machines, rather than friction pegs for metal strings. The Ukulele generally has four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings. ![]() Modern mandolins commonly have four double courses (four pairs) of metal strings, which are plucked with a plectrum.

For example, some video transcodes require the raw, uncompressed frames to be converted between color formats or sampling schemes. There are a few other ways in which EditReady is able to maximize performance. This means that, in some cases, a fast Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, or iMac will outperform even a loaded Mac Pro. Because Xeons are primarily intended for use in servers, Intel doesn’t deem it necessary. The newest Intel Xeon chips, like those used in the powerhouse Mac Pro, don’t support QuickSync. This also creates some interesting disparities in performance. EditReady is able to offload a lot of the work of dealing with H.264 to this dedicated hardware, leaving your CPU free for working with non-accelerated formats like ProRes. QuickSync, now in its third generation with the Haswell architecture, provides dramatic speed increases for H.264 encoding and decoding (and some flavors of MPEG-2). To address this, they introduced their QuickSync technology with the Sandy Bridge architecture in 2011. Hardware Decodingĭue to the rise of formats like H.264 for online video delivery, Intel saw a need for better video support on mainstream computers. But, very few users are interested in buying dedicated transcoding hardware. By focusing on optimizing specific algorithms, hardware codecs are able to dramatically increase performance. Hardware acceleration for video encoding and decoding has been around for decades in the form of dedicated cards or accessories. There are a lot of operations that need to be performed on each frame of a video, and other operations that need to be performed across frame groups (GOPs). Modern formats like H.264 are able to leverage very complicated mathematical processes to minimize their space utilization. Video encoding and decoding is highly CPU-intensive. Each of these stages takes time – how much time depends on the complexity of the formats involved. Finally, you need to compress them into the new destination format. Then, you may need to do some color conversion on these frames to get them ready for the destination format. First, you need to decompress the video to raw, uncompressed frames. Transcoding a video involves a few different stages. How can it be that one application is so much faster than other applications, when they’re all doing “the same thing”? We’re going to use this post to talk about how EditReady manages to do what it does. Since launching EditReady, we’ve heard from a number of users who can’t believe just how fast it is. ![]() ![]() ![]() To remove the engine humming sound that filters into the audio output of a car radio,.To eliminate interference or noise from speaker systems with multiple speaker units,.Some of the most common uses of ground loop isolator are: Where is a ground loop isolator used?Īpart from removing noise from an audio signal, a ground loop isolator offers a lot to electrical systems, in particular, systems with audio and video capability.
