GIS can be used across an enormous range of research from natural disaster management and monitoring deforestation, to biodiversity science and geomorphology. ![]() It refers to an array of processing and analysis techniques that use spatial data and theory (see the QGIS introduction to GIS online). ‘GIS’, or ‘Geographic Information Systems’, is now ubiquitous in geographical research and beyond. Environmentally, of course, pollutants are also a significant problem, posing risks to both the natural world and human health. Drivers on a thirty minute commute (with no traffic) in Istanbul, Mexico City, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Bucharest, and Recife (Brazil) could expect to spend more than 100 hours a year in gridlock that’s over 4 days a year just sitting in a car stationary in traffic! The sheer volume of waste that traffic causes (fuel, money, time) has hugely negative effects on the environment, economy, and human wellbeing. Indeed, Statista (with TomTom data) recently released a graphic that identifies the world’s worst cities for gridlock (also see: IB Times, Forbes). It is something that people the world over can relate to. They are often the result of rapid urban expansion around city centres that were simply not designed with such volumes of traffic in mind. I am of course referring to the traffic jam. We have all been there, haven’t we? Powerlessly sitting in a vehicle amidst of a sea of pollutants. “ It is not hyperbole to state that we are witnessing a revolution in the human sciences … fuelled by a stunning advancement in capabilities to capture, store and process data, as well as communicate information and knowledge derived from these data” ( Miller and Shaw, 2015 p.

The numbers emphasize why more and more artists are demanding a change in the way revenues are distributed. At the same time, a total of 800 artists received around 20% of the total payout. So, even in the top elite there are around 49,000 artists who made less than $100,000 per year, while only 0.1% of all artists made six figures. But even among this this 0.7% elite there are massive differences: 800 artists received $1 million or more and 7,500 artists made over $100,000. 4.5 billion therefore went to only 57,000 artists (or rather, their labels), which on average equals $79,000 per artist. At their “Stream On” event in 2020, Spotify announced that they paid out more than $5 billion. 800 artists receive 20% of the total revenueĪs of the status quo, it’s 0.7% of artists who rake in 90% of the revenues. Spotify projects this number to go up to around 100,000 by 2023. That may sound like a small number, but it’s four times as many as it was six years ago. But out of these 8 million artists, only 57,000 are responsible for 90% of all streams on Spotify. 57,000 artists account for 90% of streamsĪccording to Spotify, there are 8 million artists on the platform who released a total of 1.8 million albums (including singles, they make up the aforementioned 22 million tracks). But most of these songs drown in the flood of new music – because only a fraction of artists actually make bank. The remaining 11 million songs are covered by independent labels. DIY artists released 9.5 million tracks, meaning eight times as many. A study has shown that of these, 1.2 million songs were released through major labels. That’s almost 22 million tracks per year.
![]() It’s a simple step as you only need to connect the cat5 Ethernet cable from the PoE switch port to the camera. Once you’re sure the DVR will work with IP cameras, you can now proceed with the next step and connect the camera/s to the switch. Step (2) Connect the IP cameras to the PoE Switch ![]() Then, click the camera option from the menu page and you’ll see whether your DVR has an IP camera category or not.

And if you can remember our recent talk on 4K 30fps cameras, a higher frame rate’s the best to record fast-moving objects. Smoother Videos: if you shop around, you’ll notice IP cameras have a higher frame rate than the analog counterparts. Many analog cameras only have basic motion detection, which is usually “software-based”. They are more like small computers with unique commands to detect motion, smoke, face, cars, packages, tampering, or even count people. Intelligence and analytics: As was mentioned, IP cameras have various advanced programs to enhance your monitoring experience. They pixelate less and even have a wide field of view to offer a larger coverage. This is so from the use of a network cable, which translates the digital signal in a much cleaner way.ĭistance zoom: Thanks to the crispier images, IP cameras have better zoom-in capabilities than analog cameras. Resolution: While we can spend the whole day arguing, IP cameras, especially PoE, record crispier images than the analog models. The top 5 benefits that you can enjoy after adding this camera to your DVR include: ![]() In general, IP cameras are superior to the analog camera in several ways. This gives a total of ten cameras that you can even improvise further (if interested) to have like five IP cameras and five analog BNC cameras. A good example is the ANNKE 5MP Super HD DVR, which has eight channels for BNC cameras and 2 channels for IP cameras. These machines are usually referred to as hybrid DVR since it has an analog and network camera signal. Thirdly and most important of all, your DVR has to have IP camera support for this hack to work. It’s a very crucial step, albeit many technicians forget to mention it when advising their clients. However, the respective camera and the DVR have to support ONVIF compliance to configure and function properly. Secondly, both PoE and WiFi wireless security cameras can be added to the DVR unit.

Cissy is not the kind of person to sell her family out.Anyhow Snowfall has been created by John Singleton, of Boyz n the Hoodfame, and whisks us back to Los Angeles in 1983, where a crack cocaine epidemic is about to erupt and unleash all kinds of lawless, gang-warfare hell. When Alton came back into Cissy’s life, for real for real, there was a renewed commitment and a wider understanding of her family. But it was not the intention and if we are to stay true to Cissy, I would say no because family has always been at the core of her consciousness. “Who knows what will happen, and the writers could always add a twist. “We will see in Season 5,” Hyatt says, reluctantly. But Hyatt says that’s not something the Cissy she knows would do. ![]() Speaking of truth, there is a moment when Cissy gets on the plane and looks back at Franklin that almost implies that she knew Teddy would show up in Cuba and try and kill Alton. That’s when I knew we were living in the truth of that scene.” But every time my eyes landed on Michael, they would stream. We did one take and I thought, ‘Franklin really hates this guy right now.’ I even tried to do it differently and nothing. “No matter what I did or how hard I tried, those tears would not come for Alton. “That scene was hard to shoot, because I thought when Alton apologized, I would start crying - but I didn’t,” he shares. Michael Hyatt and Kevin Carroll are two of the best actors I have ever worked with in my life.”įascinatingly, Idris said when it came to saying goodbye to Alton, he attempted to cry in character but it didn’t happen. But I just love how respectful the crew was in that moment. These are the stories they take home with them. “Everyone sees me as this serious guy walking around set, always in character, and it was hard to look away from my true vulnerability. “I don’t mind crying when the cameras are rolling,” Idris continues. There were three people on tissue patrol.” And when Franklin says goodbye to Cissy, I couldn’t stop crying, even when they yelled cut. “That scene is a connection between myself and my mother and one day having to say goodbye. “Our mothers are everything,” he explains. Idris says that, without even trying, his strong love for his own mother spilled out into that teary scene. My mother raised all six of us, and the thing in the back of your head as you get older is, ‘How much time do I have left with my mom?'” ![]() “That scene in the Season 4 finale, I texted Michael the day before to apologize in advance because I knew I wasn’t going to be able to keep it together. “She definitely saved it for the room, and the rest is history,” he adds. ![]() I asked Michael if she needed the 10 minutes, and she said, ‘No, it’s fine, baby. “I remember when we were chemistry-reading for her part, and all the actresses had 10 minutes to prepare with me. So there’s that spiritual pull that’s been there from the very beginning,” Idris says. “Michael’s got a son, and I relate to him so much. Idris agrees, and says that because in real life Hyatt is a single mom with a preteen son and he’s the product of a single mom, the bond between him and his TV mother is believable because it’s genuine. The conversations we have, you really don’t have to do much, because the spiritual and artistic connection is just there.” That’s the beauty of working with Damson and Kevin. “Thankfully, the truth was there, so we didn’t have to search for it,” Hyatt adds.

Did Franklin forgive Alton for his betrayal? That’s up for debate. ![]() “We probably did three or four takes on that because it was so emotionally draining,” Hyatt tells TVLine about the scene that resolved the multi-episode tension between Franklin, Cissy and Alton. To design with all of this in mind, be sure to either opt for a solid color background (gradient backgrounds work fine too!) or a photo background that isn't too busy.

My “Let the tape rock ‘til the tape pop” 311 album is 1997’s Transistor, which got slagged in reviews for being too long and stuffed with ideas. While the angsty bros were getting out their frustrations to songs that expressed and incited violence, 311 was like “Guns are for pussies.” Every video looks like a sick party, hella people pleasantly faded and some band perched in the corner playing music you’re not sure if you should headbang or pop and lock to. ![]() That slipperiness would keep them popular long after peers in either scene found their pop culture stock in sudden freefall.
