Given how close John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis are, it feels somewhat logical the director may have asked Curtis to perform some uncredited voice-over on Escape From New York and to later reprise that role on Escape From L.A.

![]() ![]() I don't recall how Joey Cavalieri came to be the writer on the Helena Bertinelli version, but I think we did some nice work on that run. Staton recalled, "I think Paul realized that I felt my involvement with Helena had been abruptly cut short, so I was always in line to be a part of any reworking of the character. Helena Bertinelli was introduced in The Huntress #1 (April 1989), written by Joey Cavalieri and drawn by Joe Staton, co-creator and long-time artist of the Helena Wayne Huntress. In the DC Extended Universe, Helena Bertinelli is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020). The character appeared in the Arrowverse television series Arrow, played by Jessica De Gouw. The character made her live-action debut in the 2002 television series, Birds of Prey, portrayed by Ashley Scott. Originally introduced as a new interpretation of Helena Wayne, no longer depicted as the future daughter of Batman and Catwoman as part of DC's post- Crisis on Infinite Earths relaunch, she was later established to be the modern-day equivalent, namesake and predecessor of Helena Wayne. She is the third DC character to bear the name Huntress. The Huntress ( Helena Rosa Bertinelli) is an antiheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Highly skilled in espionage connections to an extensive network of spies and informants (New 52 incarnation).Expert markswoman proficiency in different kinds of ranged weaponry such as crossbow, throwing knives, etc.Master martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant proficient with melee weaponry such as a battle-staff.Extensively trained acrobat and accomplished gymnast.Birds was not moving in the right way creatively and it didn't have the auspices (to continue). "Over the course of Birds run that audience eroded, but those audiences came at first. "We believe Birds proved that there was a fantasy audience and a male audience there," Levin told Variety. Then-WB CEO Jordan Levin thought that the real problem was execution. Today, of course, there's more superhero shows about women and The CW's main focus is comic book series, so the chances of Birds of Prey getting another series would be higher.īut was timing the real issue? After all, the show's premiere had huge ratings, meaning there was clearly enough initial interest to sustain it. "If Birds of Prey had been on now, it would have been on forever," she told Batwoman TV. Skarsten suggested that it was the innovative nature of the show that led to its demise. But it quickly lost viewers and was cancelled after one series. ![]() The show launched on the WB with 7.6 million viewers and gave the network its largest audience in the 18-24 demographic. Huntress herself has enhanced strength and cat like reflexes, while most weeks they face off against criminal metahumans or villains targeting those with abilities. Dinah is Black Canary's daughter and a metahuman, something that featured heavily in the first season. In the pilot, teen runaway Dinah comes into their lives after having psychic visions of Gotham. With Helena carrying out the physical fighting as the vigilante Huntress, they take down Gotham's most villainous criminals. In the present, Barbara is the master hacker Oracle. Seven years earlier, Batman destroyed the Joker's criminal enterprise, but the Joker escaped and killed Catwoman in front of her daughter Helena. The show starts with a flashback to the events that changed their lives forever. In his place, his estranged daughter Helena Kyle (Ashley Scott), former Batgirl Barbara Gordon (Dina Meyer) and their new recruit Dinah Lance (Rachel Skarsten) fight crime. The series is set in a Gotham that's been abandoned by Batman. ![]() ![]() ![]() When a Core Web Vital candidate metric is finalized, it becomes a stable metric-for metrics that are on the Core Web Vitals track, this means the metric becomes a Core Web Vital. Community feedback remains an important aspect of this phase, as more developers begin to use the metric. The only remaining hurdle for a metric to advance beyond the pending phase is to wait out the transition period. Pending metrics are held in this phase for a minimum of six months to give the ecosystem time to adapt. When the Chrome team determines that an experimental metric has received sufficient feedback and proven its efficacy, it becomes a pending metric. It's also the phase in which community feedback is most important. The experimental phase of Core Web Vitals lifecycle is also intended to give flexibility in a metric's development by identifying bugs and even exploring changes to its initial definition. For example, Interaction to Next Paint (INP) was initially developed as an experimental metric to address the runtime performance issues present on the web more comprehensively than First Input Delay (FID). The purpose of the experimental phase is to assess a metric's fitness, first by exploring the problem to be solved, and possibly iterate on what previous metrics may have failed to address. When a metric is initially developed and enters the ecosystem, it is considered an experimental metric. Stable metrics are the current set of Core Web Vitals that Chrome considers essential for great user experiences.Pending metrics are future Core Web Vitals that have passed the testing and feedback stage and have a well-defined timeline to becoming stable.Experimental metrics are prospective Core Web Vitals that may still be undergoing significant changes depending on testing and community feedback. ![]() The current set for 2020 focuses on three aspects of the user experience- loading, interactivity, and visual stability-and includes the following metrics (and their respective thresholds):Įach phase is designed to signal to developers how they should think about each metric: ![]() The metrics that make up Core Web Vitals will evolve over time. Each of the Core Web Vitals represents a distinct facet of the user experience, is measurable in the field, and reflects the real-world experience of a critical user-centric outcome. ![]() Core Web Vitals #Ĭore Web Vitals are the subset of Web Vitals that apply to all web pages, should be measured by all site owners, and will be surfaced across all Google tools. The Web Vitals initiative aims to simplify the landscape, and help sites focus on the metrics that matter most, the Core Web Vitals. Site owners should not have to be performance experts to understand the quality of experience they are delivering to their users. Some developers are experts at using these tools, while others have found the abundance of both tools and metrics challenging to keep up with. Google has provided a number of tools over the years to measure and report on performance. Web Vitals is an initiative by Google to provide unified guidance for quality signals that are essential to delivering a great user experience on the web. Whether you're a business owner, marketer, or developer, Web Vitals can help you quantify the experience of your site and identify opportunities to improve. Optimizing for quality of user experience is key to the long-term success of any site on the web. New: Interaction to Next Paint (INP) is no longer experimental! Learn more about our plans to replace FID with INP as a Core Web Vital in March 2024. ![]() ![]() I was going to go through MSA, but I found the wheels for $99 apiece at discount tire(even though they also had to ship them from California.) The stock acorn lug nuts can be re-used, and after $10 for a set of Z logos from MSA for the konig center caps I saved around $200.the spindle caps on my front axle had to be 'tweaked' for the center caps to clear, per MSA's advice. The ride of my car improved dramatically, and even though they are a popular wheel amongst Z's, the fact that there are fewer Z's out there every day still lets the wheels stand out. I went with Rewinds last month, 15x7, with Goodyear 205/60/15's, after 8 years of stock wheels and 195/70/14 uniroyals.My Z is also lowered and I've had no issues with fit. This also brings to mind something else I've been curious about - exactly what kind of lug nuts do Rewinds need? Tapered/acorn, or the straight style with washers?Īnyone here have experience with this seller? Edited Februby Inf Similarly, for the 16x7's: $550 shipped vs. Although, the MSA kit specifies that it comes with wheel caps, valve stems, and lug nuts, whereas the JLB page makes no mention. Less than MSA, who currently price it at $550, and I believe shipping is another 50 bucks or so from California to Texas. Rewinds are about 3/4 of the way down the page, and they seem to have the lowest price at $499 per set for the 15x7 0mm offset size.INCLUDING shipping. I'm running Tokico HP shocks and Tokico springs from the popular kit, and I'm hoping 60 profile tires will help a little with some of the rougher roads around town.Īnyway, I've been all over a few threads about Rewinds and other 8 spoke wheels here and at HybridZ, and somewhere along the line I picked up this link: Been mulling over 15x7 Konig Rewinds and 205/60/15 tires to go on them. I'll definitely post updates when time comes.I'm also in the market for wheels. but thats a great site to look at for sure. I havent seen the watanabe site that you posted, i guess its because i can't read japanese! Hahaha. Thanks a bunch! All this helps every bit for sure. I wish you luck in this pursuit, please post images/details as they develop. There is a guy on this site named Lalit0 (I think) that has 8.5s all around, and it is a TIGHT fit. S30s are down the page a bit, anyone running 9's I believe has flared their car. Have you ever been to the Watanabe site and checked out all their photos? You'd have to stretch a tire for sure, I doubt a 225 would be enough, maybe more of a 205.? The tire stretch debate is probably one for another day, but just ask yourself if you feel like exposing the bead of a 700 dollar wheel, 4 times over. I believe the 16x9 Wats have a -13 offset. ![]() HaaJeHaa is dead on about the stuff you'll need to run at minimum. I was in your boat for a little while, but then I realized that who am I kidding, I can never afford 3k for wheels haha. So i ask, PLEASE, only serious replies.īare in mind, I'm new to all of this, so be gentle! I'm still trying to understand all of this. I'm seriously trying to grasp these concepts and I want to learn. Please, don't put any "smart" answers like "anything could fit if you want it too!" or whatever. How does a few millimeters matter so much that fender flares are required? Would the turn matter to a few millimeters? Lastly, going back to my original question (since i still really dont understand), what size rims WIDTH wise WOULD fit on the 240z? (putting in mind the need for fender flares and the corner clearance.) Now I've seen already that the silver mines would work esp w/ 16inch rims, but i'm confused on the offset. With that i'm looking to also put in Silvermine's brakes. ![]() ![]() I'm thinking of putting in Techno Toy Tuning's coilover conversion setup on the front and rear. I'm still confused as to how some guys could fit 16x9.0's on their Z? I think the general consensus is that 16x8.0 fits just enough on a 240z in the front w/ no scraping and in the back 8.5 are a good fit. I'm really new to this, but correct me if i'm wrong. Okay, i've done a search on the watanabe's on the Z and I'm still confused. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can download the Snapseed app using the links below.

Additional observing time is set aside for general astrophysics surveys that will be selected throughout the course of the observatory’s operations. Up to 75% of its observing time during the first five years of operations will be dedicated to three core community surveys: the High-Latitude Wide-Area Survey, the High-Latitude Time Domain Survey, and the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey. Roman’s surveys are designed to address a number of key science themes. Roman is primarily a survey observatory, with some additional observations set aside to demonstrate the technology of a next-generation coronagraph instrument. With a launch commitment no later than May 2027, and launch currently planned for late 2026, Roman will have a five-year prime mission. Roman is a NASA observatory that will study essential questions in a wide range of astrophysics topics, such as the evolution of stars, planets, and galaxies, in addition to probing dark energy and detecting thousands of new planets outside our solar system.

Online tools are convenient and simple-perfect for casual users-but you’ll find more advanced and sophisticated tools in PDF conversion applications. You’ll have to pay for Adobe Acrobat Pro to access more advanced features like Optical Character Recognition, custom PPI settings, and other enhancements.ģ Software Tools and Techniques to Compress PDF Files While their free online compressor is missing some of the features of Adobe Acrobat Pro, it retains the core of Adobe’s capabilities by compressing documents without compromising the quality of text or images.Īdobe’s free online PDF compressor has some limitations: it can only process documents up to 2Gb and automatically upload compressed PDFs to Adobe cloud storage. Adobe PDF CompressorĪs the creators of the PDF file format, Adobe knows a thing or two about PDF compression.

Soda’s free online PDF creator has features like password-protecting your PDF, converting web URLs to PDF documents, and-or course-compressing PDF files. Like Smallpdf, Soda PDF has both an online and desktop version of its PDF compression software. With more features than its free-to-use peers, Smallpdf is a powerful tool for individuals or small businesses, with flexible pricing plans for larger organizations. However, their paid version includes digital seal protection, file storage, unlimited documents, and ad-free use. This subscription-based PDF compression tool is free to use on their website and mobile app if you are processing two or fewer documents per day. TinyWow is free to use, but only stores documents for an hour, so you will need to download your compressed PDF from their site. You can employ this multi-use online tool to compress PDF files, but it also has a variety of related features that include merging multiple PDFs into a single document, converting PowerPoint presentations to PDF, and-vitally-compressing PDF files. The downside is that online tools typically have less robust features, so you tend to have less control over the result, and there’s an inherent security risk because you are uploading your documents to an external server.

This process is incredibly technical and complicated, and there’s no one “best” way to compress PDFs. Compression algorithms do the same thing-reducing repetition to its smallest representation so you can store it on less disk space without losing information. Both numbers represent the same value, so when it comes to storing those numbers, eliminating repetition is significantly more efficient. How would you write the number one quintillion?

Thankfully, online shopping has become much simpler and more secure, so you don’t even have to set foot in a mall. Black Friday is starting on Thursday, and stores explode into Christmas mode as they take down their Halloween decor. So let's just say twenty-four and move on.It’s 2011, folks, and preparing for the holidays isn’t what it used to be. Even if we gave him 26 hours, he'd still need to cover 21 million kids an hour. But, like the rest of the population, more children live north of the equator, meaning that on average, the nights are longer - meaning Santa has more than twenty-four hours. If the children were evenly distributed throughout the world, north and south of the equator, the night would average out to twelve hours. In the Northern Hemisphere, Santa has a little more night to play with. On Christmas Day, New York City will see just over nine hours of daylight - meaning nearly fifteen hours of dark. (Note: please do not confuse him with Krampus.) However, Christians in those countries still celebrate Christmas, so Santa still brings them presents. Which is basically a festival of Saint Nicholas. People in the Netherlands and Belgium celebrate Sinterklaas on December 5.Please see the entry for Cuba, which presents a breakdown of religion with the helpful caveat that the data pre-dates Castro. The CIA's data isn't always up-to-date.(But in a nod to realism, 5% was added to the total of practicing Americans.) It's impossible to tell who celebrates secular Christmas, so, for the most part, they were left out of the formula. The secular elements of Christmas are appealing: a tree in the house? Gifts? Candy? We have to assume that Santa swings by those houses, too, of course. Not all children that celebrate Christmas are Christian.There is some debate over whether or not Adventists celebrate the holiday ultimately, they were included. There are also a number of countries with sizable Seventh Day Adventist populations, like the Pitcairn Islands. Until you look at a country-by-country list, you might not realize how many Jehovah's Witnesses there are - particularly in the Caribbean and Latin America - who do not celebrate the holiday. Not all Christians celebrate Christmas. ![]() Do they celebrate Christmas? Does Santa stop by? (For my purposes: yes.) In Zimbabwe, per the CIA, half of the people are syncretic, blending Christianity with native religions. Christianity is fluid: some people believe some components, others mix in regional practices. Religion doesn't fall within clean lines. It can be tricky to determine how many Christians live in a country.This calendar shift takes about 11.5 million kids out of the line-up on the 24th, meaning that on the 5th he can do a leisurely 800,000 kids an hour. That's the day he has most of the night to hit parts of Russia, Georgia and the Ukraine before Eastern Orthodox celebrations on Twelfth Night. Not all countries celebrate Christmas on December 25.How do I distribute our 62 million kids? Or Canada's? My point is: there's a lot of guessing and a little relying on Yahoo Answers. What about the United States? Between the states and our territories, we have eleven time zones, with most of the children in the four time zones that make up the continental US. That's one's actually easy, since most live in France which has one time zone. Where should I allocate its 12 million kids? ![]() France, given its many remote protectorates, has citizens in twelve time zones. And it isn't always easy to figure out in which the people actually live.
