![]() ![]() Howard University founded its architecture program in 1910, and since then the organization has been both an anchor and a beacon of the African-American architectural community, according to Ethridge. Because of the Shaw Joint Venture, many of D.C.’s minority firms were able to enter the mainstream of the architectural profession.įurthermore, D.C.’s Howard University has graduated a variety of talented architects who went on to make contributions to the city’s landscape. Headed by African-American architects in D.C., the survey assessed the exteriors of nearly 6,000 buildings in Shaw in order to classify each as either sound, deficient, or extremely deficient. According to Ethridge, this was the largest comprehensive building survey ever conducted in the nation. One notable project that proves this is the Shaw Joint Venture of 1968. But this isn’t the full spectrum of work that they achieved. African Americans have impacted the shaping of the nation’s capital.īefore 1968, most contracts given to African-American architects were for additions or renovations to existing structures. Despite this and despite everything, there were still African-American architects who were able to break through and prove to the city-and to the nation-that they were capable in more ways than one. While African Americans played a major role in the construction of the White House, they were left out of the planning and building stages of the McMillan Plan of 1902, a comprehensive planning document for the development of the monumental core and park system of Washington, D.C. Even so, discrimination, a segregated collegiate system, and extremely limited commission opportunities have been enough to hold African Americans back from either pursuing the field or prospering in it. Indeed, the White House was built by the hands of African Americans, both enslaved and free. Right from the beginning, though, African Americans impacted the shape of the nation’s capital. ![]() The buildings they designed and constructed serve as visual reminders of the status and aspirations of these architects-as well as how much of a rarity African-American professional architects have been, especially at the turn of the century. had the highest concentration of licensed African-American architects in the U.S. ![]() Even so, for many decades, Washington, D.C., has been a center of concentration for African-American architects.Īccording to Harrison Mosley Ethridge, Ph.D., in “The Black Architects of Washington, D.C.,” at one time, D.C. population in 2010, only 2 percent of licensed architects in the U.S. While African Americans made up 13 percent of the total U.S. African Americans are underrepresented in the field of architecture, and the progress made to further diversity in the field has been slow and barely steady. ![]()

![]() Some of the school plays with caucasian kids doing really non-PC accents are awkwardly funny.

He and his younger brother Chang are playing when Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo falls into a well.Ĭhang has trouble getting help because of the amount of time it takes to say his brother's name. ![]() So there was a boy named Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo. Ricky Tikki Tembo is a completely separate story from Tikki Tikki Tembo, the one you are recalling has quite a long name but the book you have is a newer version of the story that makes it easier for young children to read it. The mother’s first born son is named Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo, which (for the story’s purpose only) means Most Wonderful. The injustice of this fable is not lost on my own little one. There is a Wikipedia page that tells all the details about this children's story, but here is a Cliff Notes version:Ĭhinese parents used to name thier first born very long names, but give an unimportant short name to the second born.

![]() ![]() Karen Renaud, a senior lecturer of cybersecurity at the University of Strathclyde, recommends sticking with an established company (like 1Password or Bitwarden). “No matter what route you take, any password manager is better than no password manager,” he says. ![]() Topher Tebow, a cybersecurity analyst at the international cybersecurity company Acronis, agrees. “There are a number of excellent password managers out there, and it is more important that people use one than which one they use,” she says. Fortunately, Lorrie Cranor, the director of Carnegie Mellon University’s security and privacy research institute CyLab, says you can feel confident with nearly any of them. “After your password is autofilled by the password manager, add in the code manually.” Even on the off chance that a password manager is hacked, hackers still won’t be able to access any of your accounts, since only you know the extra characters.Ĭonvinced? Good. ![]() That means you store passwords in a password manager but have a special code you know to add into each password that isn’t stored in your manager,” she says. Still, “if you need an extra layer of security for peace of mind, I recommend salting your passwords. She says it isn’t “computationally possible” for hackers to break the encryption of most password managers at the moment, so you can be assured your passwords are safe in a password manager. One of the biggest fears with password managers, Tobac says, is that saving all your passwords in an account with a single password would make you more vulnerable to data theft. Forty-two percent reuse passwords across accounts, and 17 percent of us recycle as few as two to five passwords for everything. Despite this, a 2020 survey from the credit-scoring company FICO found that only 23 percent of Americans use an encrypted password manager. More recent data breaches include McDonald’s, Peloton, and Volkswagen. She says it’s a matter of “when, not if, one of the websites you use gets breached.” At that point, “any services you use that password for are at risk.” From January to March of 2021, 51 million people had their data compromised in a breach, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit dedicated to helping victims of identity theft. “Password managers are essential for everyone,” says Rachel Tobac, CEO of the cybersecurity company SocialProof Security. And considering that many password managers offer free versions, there’s really no excuse not to have one. According to the security experts we consulted, it’s the best option for protecting everything from financial data to drugstore loyalty accounts. The manager safely stores all of your other passwords for you, often allowing you to access your passwords from any computer, tablet, or phone. With a password manager, however, you only need to remember one master password. This made for a tough password to crack, with one downside: It was an equally tough password to remember. Eventually, the instructions were to come up with seemingly random strings of characters, numbers, and symbols. Instead, we were told to use assortments of words and numbers - until that wasn’t hard enough, either. That’s just too easy to crack, security experts say. The days of using your first child’s name and birth date for all your passwords are long gone. ![]() ![]() ![]() The process should follow a pre-established test plan created using design documentation and product specifications. ![]() Just like mobile apps, Smart TV applications can be tested using physical devices or emulators. In this article, we explore the general considerations for testing smart TV applications and discuss the specific idiosyncrasies of smart TV apps that make the testing process different. Because the differences between mobile apps and smart TV applications are significant, a whole new perspective is needed. ![]() ![]() Inexperienced developers may be tempted to treat smart TV applications just like big-screen mobile apps – and test them as such. This relatively uncharted territory offers ample possibilities today, but is also rife with challenges – not only in the development phase, but also in quality assurance. You won't see it in most content and MOST of these sets have it to a moderate degree.Smart TV applications are becoming the new competitive frontier for media companies and content providers. Good luck and don't sweat a little banding. Once your set has around 450-500 hours run those grey tests again bc your screen will then be about as good as it is going to get from out of the box usage/aging. And finally the 20% grey should look fairly close to band free. 10% grey should look mostly good with less noticeable banding. The 5% grey with the lights off should only show moderate vertical banding if you have a decent set. IT WILL CHANGE A LOT compared to straight out of the box tests.Īfter putting some hours on the set run 5% grey, 10% grey, and 20% grey tests straight off the YouTube app. Initial uniformity is poor out of box so keep that in mind and don't pay much attention to those grey patterns until you have close to 50 or more hours. But it's not going to be a fair assessment out of the box. You'll want to pull up the YouTube App and search 5% grey pattern eventually. Then boot it up and check for green/stuck or dead pixels while close to the panel. I'd use a phone flashlight and check the screen while it's off for scratches. They always help.ĭid it seem like it had been opened before? Does it actually show very low hours in the Settings/About tv?

Let's just say it was a winning combination, and the rest was history. And what about the name? Well, that one came after the horse Tim Tam took out the Kentucky Derby in 1958. But, he was determined to 'make one better'. Arnott's director of food technology, Ian Norris, thought up these chocolate biscuits after he tried a chocolate Penguin biscuit during a trip to England in 1958. In the United States, the original, dark chocolate, dark chocolate mint, and caramel varieties are available for sale.You're probably very familiar with the irresistible flavour of Tim Tams, but you may be surprised to learn of their somewhat fascinating history. In October 2016 they added a mango variety to the range, and in February 2017 they launched four new flavours-choc mint, salted caramel & vanilla, coconut & lychee and black forest-in partnership with Gelato Messina. Arnott's told media in May 2016 that sales of the Tim Tam mocktail range had not met their expectations.Īrnott's introduced toffee apple and pineapple flavours to the market in June 2016. A limited edition 'mocktail' Tim Tam range was launched in February 2016 with piña colada, espresso martini and strawberry champagne variants. In October 2015, Arnott's launched Tim Tam Choc Banana. Arnott's was awarded a Shonky award for the offering, which did not contain peanuts (paprika was used as a flavour substitute) and included two fewer biscuits than the original variety Tim Tam packet.ĭuring the Valentine's Day period of 2015, Arnott's launched Choc Raspberry and Coconut Cream flavours, again collaborating with Zumbo. Also in July 2014, Arnott's launched peanut butter flavoured Tim Tams. Red Velvet was the fourth Zumbo Tim Tam creation, launched in July 2014. Point of sale displays featured Zumbo pink in contrast to traditional chocolate brown Tim Tam brand colours. In February 2014, Arnott's launched a limited edition range of three new Tim Tam flavours created by renowned Australian dessert chef Adriano Zumbo: salted caramel, choc brownie and raspberry white choc. A cheese flavour of Tim Tams has also been developed for the Indonesian market. Tim Tam chocolate sandwich biscuits are manufactured in Indonesia by Halo Arnotts. Two flavours for the South East Asian Market, choco chocolate and choco cappuccino, sold in Indonesia Freezing air cools the biscuits before they are flipped and filled with cream, dunked in chocolate and cooled again. Biscuits are then cut to 1mm thick, 11 holes are punched per biscuit and they are baked in gas ovens for 90 minutes. Biscuit dough, containing sugar, flour, colours and flavours, is mixed for 20 minutes. In 2009, Arnott's invested 37 million Australian dollars in a state-of-the-art production line at its Brisbane facility, expecting to boost productivity and increase jobs.Īt the Huntingwood bakery in Western Sydney, the production line turns out about 3,000 Tim Tams per minute and uses 20 tons of the biscuit's cream filling and 27 tons of chocolate coating each work day. To date, manufacture of Tim Tams and other Arnott's products has remained largely within Australia, including bakeries in Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane. The original Arnott's bakery, opened in 1865, was located in Newcastle, New South Wales. Pallet of original Tim Tams on sale at a food wholesaler in Western Australia in 2017 The Tim Tams are still "Made in Australia" and packaging in the United States bears the slogan "Australia's Favorite Biscuits." In 2017, an additional flavour, dark chocolate-mint, was produced for and introduced only in the American market. ![]() Pepperidge Farm, a sister company of Arnott's, began importing the Tim Tam to the United States of America in 2008. In 2003, Arnott's sued Dick Smith Foods over their Temptin' brand of chocolate biscuits, which Arnott's alleged had diluted their trademark as a similar biscuit, in similarly-designed packaging. They were named by Ross Arnott, who attended the 1958 Kentucky Derby and decided that the name of the winning horse, Tim Tam, was perfect for a planned new line of biscuits.Īpart from Penguins, products similar to Tim Tams include "Temptins" from Dick Smith Foods, New Zealand's "Chit Chats", Australian Woolworths' home brand product "Choccy Slams", the Coles brand "Chocolate Surrenders" biscuits, and various similar "home-brand" products marketed by British supermarkets. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, you'll have to declare variables before using them. Unlike the normal perl one-liners, the rename command allows only strict mode. Rename(scripts/reports.py, Scripts/reports.py) $ # without -d option, directory name is affected Rename(scripts/reports.py, scripts/Reports.py) ![]() $ # uppercase first character of the filename ![]() Otherwise, the logic you are using might affect directory names as well. If you are passing filenames with path components in them, you can use -d option to affect only filename portion. Report_v1.log not renamed: report_v2.log already exists You can override this behavior by using the -f option. If a renaming operation matches a filename that already exists, such a renaming won't go through by default. $ # replace all dot characters except the extension The difference is that the -v option shows the result after the files have been renamed. The -v option shows how the files have been renamed, similar to the -n option. $ rename 's/\d+/sprintf "%03d", $&/e' *.pngįor a more pleasing visual of the sanity check, pipe the output to column -ts, as shown below (assuming filenames don't have comma in them). $ # remove -n option after sanity check to actually rename the files $ # note that 100.png isn't part of the output, since it isn't affected The -n option allows you to do a sanity check without renaming the files. The below example formats the filenames to consistently have three digits, so that the sorted filename display works for the numbers as well.
