They can also make a build look crowded and messy. However, do not just add a patterned floor for no reason. There are many more styles than just what I covered here, and the five I went over can be altered and modified. Of the three types of flooring, patterned floors can be the most diverse and unique. Wool carpets work very well in bedrooms and similar rooms. If you create a pattern with it, it gives the floor more depth, and in some cases, makes it look more realistic. Wool can be used just as a plain, monochromatic carpet. A good use for this is a waiting/sitting room. Other blocks also look great in this pattern. ![]() ![]() In the example below, I used the 4 types of wooden planks. This type of floor uses several blocks to create a more complex pattern than just a checkerboard. These two blocks do not contrast each other as much as the others, yet still look great together. The last of the three checkered floors I will cover, this floor consists of end stone and netherbrick. A good application for this floor is in a kitchen. Once again, these two blocks contrast each other very well, but not too much. This type of patterned floor is another checkerboard floor, but this time using black wool and stone slabs. These floors look great in modern-style dining rooms. The two blocks contrast very well, yet also compliment each other. This floor is just a checkered pattern of iron and pine tree leaves. Oftentimes, patterned floors help builds look more modern, especially when using checkered patterns. This can range from a checkered layout to a symmetrical pattern. Patterned floors use two or more blocks to create some sort of design in the floor. Now it's time for the second main category of floor types-patterned floors. I've already shown you the three types of flooring designs and went into further details about inset flooring. Flooring is a very important part of your Minecraft builds.

This sounds like an academic concern, but actually it's very useful. ![]() The fact that there are no audio data removed means that you never lose data you may need in the future. Lossless doesn't just affect audio quality, or the quality of reproduction you perceive. WAV, for instance, is lossless but uncompressed, and so for the same theoretical audio quality you have to consume more storage space. The act of compression in this case does not remove any of the audio data so, theoretically, audio quality remains the same, but with the added benefit of reduced storage cost. But within the category of lossless formats there are some formats that further compress the data, and those that don't. Lossless files are generally larger than lossy files. Lossless files, in contrast, never remove any aspect of the audio. Lossy means that, when the file is created from raw audio input, the codec is allowed to remove parts of the raw audio that it doesn't think is necessary. But it's not all that simple.įile formats can also differ by whether they are lossy or lossless. Generally speaking, higher quality means more storage space. A high quality/space ratioįile formats differ by the audio quality they offer and also the storage space required by a file written by the corresponding codec (a codec is software that is capable of reading and writing audio in the file format). So why would you pick FLAC when there are other formats available? 1. FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is another example. There are others MP4 (commonly used in iTunes), WMA (the default in Windows computers), Ogg Vorbis, and more. There are many commonly accepted file formats, and you've probably heard of the most popular: MP3. There are different ways of storing this data, and each approach is called a file format. The files themselves are internally organised such that the audio data is stored in a special way. The audio, and any accompanying metadata, are stored in files and organised into folders. Why do I encourage use of FLAC over other formats?Ĭomputer music is stored on your computer's hard drive in much the same way as your photos, documents and videos. Regular readers will know I commonly advise use of FLAC as your music file format of choice both for ripping from CD and as a preferred file format for music downloads. Four reasons for using FLACs, and one reason you shouldn't ![]() Verdict: Reaper is a digital audio workstation (DAW) and serious Adobe Audition alternative. Other features include support of VST plug-ins, addition of digital noises, tones and DTMF sequences, waveform/spectrum and spectrogram representation, sound statistics, iPhone ringtone support, and more. You can apply different filters and effects with a real-time preview of results, edit multiple options at once and perform many standard sound editing tasks such as copy, paste, and others. However, I don't quite like that it's not open source, so unlike Audacity, there's no way to adjust its code if it doesn't meet your exact requirements. This software is based on the Ocen Framework, a powerful library designed to simplify and standardize the process of creating audio editing and analysis applications across platforms. It is worth noting that, unlike many free audio editors, Ocenaudio has correctly marked axis, not an arbitrary volume rate. Your open files are displayed in the list on the left, and the selected file will be displayed as a signal on the left. Ocenaudio has a less confusing interface than Audacity but is still a powerful audio editor. It is an ideal Adobe Audition alternative for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without wasting time of tutorials. Verdict: Ocenaudio is easy to use, fast and functional cross-platform audio editor. One of my favorite apps is Avid Channel Strip AAX plug-in that emulates the equalizer and dynamics. You get a Boom, sequencing drum machine, Mini Grand, a simulated Grand piano with multiple sounds and reverbs, plus variable dynamics with a single knob, a DB-33 organ with wheels with a rotating speaker, Structure Free that plays instruments based on samples, and more.Īs part of the basic setup, you get a variety of AIR effects that cover all the major bases when mixing. With the built-in Pro Tools, you can play up to 128 stereo tracks at 48 kHz, 64 tracks at 96 kHz, or 32 tracks at 192 kHz with the ability to record up to 32 tracks simultaneously.Īvid has a wide range of virtual tools. The Edit window handles all recordings, arrangements, detailed audio and MIDI editing. The main interface has two windows: Edit and Mix. Despite its price, you can use the free version of the product, which is now called First. It is a cross-platform app for professional audio editing for music, movies, games, and broadcasting. Verdict: Among all programs like Adobe Audition, Avid deserves special attention. You need to configure the project for keeping or adapting the rate, and then also regulate the tracks and imports. However, it's a bit complicated to make it work. The main news in 10.4 is the Smart Tempo, which automatically detects tempo information of any material. You can record audio at up to 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution. ![]() ![]() Logic Pro 10.4 can display timeline with the appropriate colors of the region, elements of tracks control or tracks Smart Controls for each track even in the form of plug-ins. Mind that Logic Pro 10.4 supports touch panel. The main tracks are available in several forms: audio, for recording live tools, MIDI, for recording MIDI data from a keyboard, electronic drum kit or another input device, and a tool that combines them to use with virtual connectable instruments. The main screen is customizable and can include everything you need - depending on how you fill it, of course. To start using Logic Pro X, you need the latest Mac with OS X v10.12 (Sierra). Verdict: Logic is a simple and multi-functional Adobe Audition alternative. Layered, and can be edited afterwards using Photoshop's native JPEGs, PNGs and Adobe Photoshop PSD files.

When I saw this for the first time, it did look too good to sound true. Well, that's not entirely true since it also bundles oodles of creativity. Shape Collage, our review product frees you from these time concerns and lets you focus entirely on your creativity. Naturally, all those extra hours mean that there is a limit to your creativity since you would not want to start all over again with a collage product. ![]() If you love to create collages of all sorts from your pictures, then you know that positioning and moving individual pictures for a collage can be a time consuming process that requires many hours of experimentation. Introduction About Shape Collage Download and Installation Working with Shape Collage Pricing and Support Conclusion But they also have to avoid even inadvertent HIPAA violations when it comes to that data. The Privacy Rule defines Protected Health Information (PHI) broadly as “any information held by a covered entity which concerns health status, provision of healthcare, or payment for healthcare that can be linked to an individual.” The rule sets stiff penalties for compromising patient confidentiality - such as through a data breach or careless storage and handling that leaves patient data exposed, even if confidentiality isn’t compromised.Įvery medical practice - from metropolitan hospitals to rural clinics and physicians in independent practice - relies on medical data to guide patient care (and to bill health insurance companies). ![]() Department of Health and Human Services to write a Privacy Rule governing medical data collection, storage, and sharing. Among the many mandates in the law was a directive for the U.S. President Bill Clinton signed the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA) into law on August 21, 1996. While the dream is to make all relevant information available to all professionals treating a patient, that dream has to function within the reality of stringent data protection mandates. These same concerns exist for medical data systems. Since the beginning of the internet, people have been as concerned about data privacy as they’ve been enthusiastic about data access. Congress passed stimulus legislation, which included $30 billion to promote digital medical records, and the impact was dramatic.Īccording to a report by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, the percentage of acute care hospitals using electronic health records increased from 9.4 percent in 2008 to 83.8 percent in 2015. When President Barack Obama was sworn into office in 2009, the nation was mired in the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. Oddly enough, the Great Recession changed the fortunes of the initiative. He gave the National Coordinator a mandate to promote the development and adoption of advanced information technology in health care, but that huge mandate came with a tiny budget.Īnd tiny budgets usually limit progress, which is exactly what happened for years - by 2008, just over 9 percent of U.S. Bush took the first step forward when he established the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology in 2004. It would be a monumental task, but everyone saw the potential benefits - physicians treating a patient could access electronic health records, which would vastly improve their ability to coordinate patient care and ultimately improve patient outcomes. With each advancement in data technology, the medical field showed more interest in switching from paper files to digital medical records. The shortcomings of paper medical records became pretty obvious in the 1990s as doctors started routinely using diagnostic imaging, a move that rapidly increased the sheer volume of data. And those procedures generate far more medical data than any clipboard can hold. If you watch a contemporary TV show set in a hospital (or if you have the misfortune of needing treatment at the ER), you’ll see physicians ordering batteries of diagnostic tests and medical imaging while attaching heart rate and blood pressure monitors to a patient. Keeping a record of treatment on paper was possible when a physician’s primary diagnostic tools were limited to stethoscopes, thermometers, X-ray machines, and rudimentary blood tests. Real hospital records back then weren’t much longer. ![]() Those few pages were that fictional patient’s hospital records. You’ll also see a doctor on his rounds (doctors were invariably male then), dramatically flipping through two or three pages on the clipboard to update himself on the patient’s condition. Watch a really old episode of General Hospital, which first aired in 1963, and you’ll quickly see (besides very familiar plot lines) a clipboard hanging on a hook at the foot of every hospital bed. But a lot about data collection has changed - the amount of it, the electronic health record (EHR) systems required to collect and manage it, and the constant vigilance necessary to comply with strict patient confidentiality laws. ![]() Doctors have always recognized why data collection is so important in healthcare. ![]() While such electronic phases have been thoroughly studied in GaAs two-dimensional electron gas, their observation in graphene has been limited by disorder, potential fluctuations being larger than the FQH gaps in most devices. At high magnetic field, this yields a variety of new incompressible phases known as fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states. With kinetic energy quenched, electron interactions determine the ground state of a partially filled Landau level. In a large magnetic field B, the band structure of two dimensional electrons becomes a discrete set of highly degenerate Landau levels. Integer and Fractional Quantum Hall effect The whole structure rests on an oxidized silicon wafer.ġ. 1: Schematic of a graphene on boron nitride device with a graphite back-gate. This device quality allows us to study a variety of exotic electronic phenomena.įig. The resulting heterostructures can have carrier mobilities of at least 400 000 cm 2/Vs at low temperature, which corresponds to mean free paths of several microns. We stack these flakes into van der Waals heterostructures. Hexagonal boron nitride is an insulator with a crystal structure similar to that of graphite that can also be exfoliated into thin, atomically flat flakes. We use hexagonal boron-nitride as a gate dielectric and an encapsulating material. As a result, low-energy quasiparticles are massless and described by the Dirac equation, which results in a wide variety of exotic electronic phenomena, such as Klein tunneling and a zeroth landau level. At low energy, the band-structure of graphene has a linear dispersion relation, different from the usual quadratic dispersion of the valence and conduction bands in regular semiconductors. Our group studies the electronic properties of graphene, a one atom thick carbon crystal with a honeycomb lattice. Contact Aaron Sharpe or Derrick Boone for more information.

Now is the era of SSD Storage which are much faster but at the same time expensive and available in small sizes. ![]() Writing an e-book can also be daunting because sales can start slow. To succeed, an e-book must be masterfully written and packaged and generate a strong following. However, people’s opinions are subjective, and it is difficult to predict the trends that shoot across the country. The Cons: There is a reason that being an author is one of the most challenging pursuits in the entire world. There will always be a hunger for well-written content that features good information and is available at a solid value. The Pros: E-books are popular, as more and more people are clicking “read now” than ever before. Also, e-books do not have to be very long, so as opposed to writing a 300-page novel, creative entrepreneurs can create a 30-50 page book, edit it, and begin publishing. If individuals possess a unique skill-set, love to write, and are looking for an inexpensive way to set up their first passive income stream, this could work for them. So, whether it is a self-help book and the writer has counseled or taught self-help for years or a quick guide to the rivers and lakes of the region by a veteran kayak guide, the point is to focus on the topic at hand. Of course, this can be a niche category, reflective of the entrepreneur’s unique skills, knowledge, or abilities-but the key is that there must be some reader demand for this. ![]() ![]() Of course, there are a few caveats.įirst, an individual should be considered an expert on a specific topic. The low cost of publishing plus the powerful distribution force that is Amazon make this idea one consider. Regarding setup, e-books can be published and distributed through Amazon, and millions of readers will see the new title for a small fee. If an entrepreneur has an idea for a short, practical, nonfiction e-book, they might be able to set up their first passive income stream. Here are some of our top ideas for entrepreneurs who want to add a passive income system to their monthly earnings. However, the funds may be treated differently by the Internal Revenue Service. It is important to remember that once the entrepreneur sets up an opportunity for passive income, it is still taxable. There are myriad forms of passive income, from real estate pursuits to rental properties, which we will get into in this article. Cryptocurrency, for example, may be all the rage these days but cannot be classified as passive income because it does not pay interest or dividends.Įssentially, passive income results from an enterprise with which the business person is not actively involved. Passive income can rely on investing if the investments pay out interest or dividends. Lastly, passive income is not inclusive of assets that are non-income producing. Third, passive income is about maintaining a separate yet reliable cash flow stream without having to do too much work as the money rolls in. Second, though many casually refer to passive income streams as “Job #2,” this is inaccurate. ![]() What is not encompassed in this new realm of passive income? First, passive income is not synonymous with day-to-day jobs or occupations. However, this work is usually minimal, and the payoff is more than worth the extra effort. For example, perhaps an entrepreneur creates products that must be continually updated, or the rental property needs its lawn mowed and yard mulched each year. Some recipients of passive income do all the work upfront, such as writing a book, but others must work more as the years pass. This income could be in the form of royalties from a book published years ago or stock dividends based on investments from the past. According to the IRS, passive income comes from a business or rental property, but one in which the individual does not readily participate. Passive income is based on regular earnings, but the source is usually different than a contractor or an employer. This idea is rapidly growing in accessibility and popularity. One way to stay afloat these days is through using passive income streams to generate extra cash. In addition, rising inflation is causing everyone to take a second look at their paychecks and bank accounts. The pandemic and other extenuating factors have made our economy difficult.
