![]() Unlike Adobe Creative Suite, which periodically phones home, the programs listed here respect your privacy. In other words, they don’t spy on you and treat you like a product. Open-source programs like Darktable also don’t collect your data and use it to make money. Photo from my Nikon Z6 edited in the open-source program Darktable Compare that to a basic $10/month commercial software like Lightroom, which adds up to $1200 over ten years (at minimum it can be higher if the monthly price goes up). These photo editing programs are free and developed by volunteers – though sometimes these volunteers are paid by donations. Often, such programs are also under open-source licenses and developed on open platforms like Github, which makes it very unlikely that they will at some point turn into commercial applications.Ī huge advantage of open-source post-processing software is that it saves you money. ![]() Open-source editing programs are different than commercial programs in that they are free, and their source code can be read by anyone. Should you try an open source program for photography? Read on to find out! Why Use Open-Source Software for Photo Editing? On the other hand, there are some serious open-source photo editing programs that can replace commercial programs for many people. And indeed, these are by far the most popular. When it comes to image editing, most people probably think of commercial applications like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, or Phase One’s Capture One Pro. ![]() This is another example where we see a concept that expands the scope of the MCU beyond what has come before. One of the great strengths of the MCU is the world building achieved with each film and TV show. It works effectively to establish the setting and provides some heavy character exposition, before what presumably will be more plot focussed episodes. The story picks up immediately following the time travelling events of Endgame as we find out where Loki went with the tesseract. This is an intriguing start to the series with the introduction to a great concept and some strong character moments. Don't believe all the hype, it's not that great so far.Īfter his escape with the tesseract, Loki is captured by the Time Variance Authority. I just watched the second episode and I'm still not impressed. How can you put any belief into a Time Agency that runs the multi-verse when they act like a bunch of kids? I'll reserve judgment until I see a few more, but it doesn't look good. This show would have been better if they took themselves more seriously and got rid of most (if not all) of the dumb gags. The do what they can with what they are given. The only good thing I have to say about this show is Hiddleston and Wilson. How many times do they have to show Loki stating that he is a God, only to have someone put him in his place. This first episode was boring to watch and it has so many lame jokes. Stuff like "Loki is Back!" and "The God of Mischief at his best!" Never believe any rating that ends in an explanation point. Marvel are still finding their feet in the tv show game, but I'm here for it.Įvery time a new movie or show is released, you see all these 10/10 ratings and this show is getting the same treatment. I suspect there'll be moments that make us gasp from intrigue, but maybe a couple of moments that make us go 'oh' from slight disappointment. I seriously hope the show doesn't suffer from below par villains like Falcon & Winter Soldier, or a typical Marvel CGI fight, in the end, like in WandaVision after prior episodes of breaking free from the Marvel norm. Have to protect any stray timelines from causing another war of the timelines. The heroes we've been watching are part of the main 'sacred' timeline and Morbius & co.

I had no idea of what to expect from this other than good chemistry between Owen Wilson & Tom Hiddleston (which there is. The actual dialogue was gripping for the entire episode, matched with the CGI etc. I loved watching both of those shows for different reasons. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the opening to both WandaVision & Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but both their openings suffered with a couple different issues. ![]() Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.

The painters plastic has always worked fine for my purposes. I don't recall ever having seen a footprint made specifically for the tent, but I wouldn't have spent the extra money to buy one either. I made it so it's a couple inches shorter than the tent and fits completely under it. It's just, when you have to spend time in the tent during a rain-fall, don't expect to have much ventilation, it can get to be a bit suffocating, especially if there is more than two of you in the tent.įor a ground cloth I use painters plastic I cut to fit. I've never met a tent that doesn't eventually begin to leak a little, so I think only having a half cup of water in the tent is pretty impressive. The rain-fly does do its job, I have been in some torrential downpours and maybe soaked up a half cup of water at most afterwards. So, when it does begin to rain, although the tent doesn't really leak much, you have to zip the windows almost completely up. The coverage of the rain-fly is a bit small. The ventilation leads to one of my only complaints with this tent, which actually has to do with the rain-fly. There is a mesh opening in the ceiling, as well as windows on each end, the doors have a mesh area with another window directly beside them that opens up. With the divider in place there is room enough in each side to place a queen size air mattress, as well as some gear. I have never actually used the divider on a camping trip, but have put it up a time or two just to check it out. Speaking of, the divider does have a zipper in it, so you can open the divider up during the day if you wish. You don't have to enter through one side and then go through the divider. I like that once in place that the front door gives access to one side, and the rear door gives access to the other side. The tent does come with a divider that can be tied up using the dog bone/loop design, so it installs in seconds. The large size does add to the weight of this tent, but I imagine most everyone who uses this tent will be car camping and not having to pack it very far, so weight isn't much of an issue. I have even survived a strong thunderstorm or two, and the poles held up find during some fairly strong winds. In the years I have owned it and many times I've set this tent up I haven't had one splinter or break yet. They are of a larger diameter and thicker material than the average fiberglass pole. Having said that, I am ok with the fiberglass poles that come with this tent. I'm not a huge fan of fiberglass poles, I've broken my fair share of them. However, stake out and set up is an easy job, and will take less than 10 minutes. This tent did come with the yellow plastic tent stakes, after the first time out with those I wound up purchasing some heavier duty aluminum stakes. I can do it by myself, but this is a job probably better done by two people to keep from damaging the fiberglass poles. The set up of the tent isn't all that bad. Realistically, I think four people would be plenty, but you could manage six ok if you had somewhere else to store the gear. This is a large 12' x 10' tent that is made to sleep eight people (manufacturers claim). ![]() That said, this is definitely a good idea if you enjoy the game.

This progress is being threatened by the COVID-19 pandemic, as schoolchildren in early childhood education and the early grades, especially from low- and middle-income countries, are the most affected by education disruption. The participation rate in organized learning one year before the official primary entry age rose steadily in the years before the COVID-19 pandemic, from 69 per cent in 2010 to 75 per cent in 2020 but with considerable variation between countries (with the rate ranging from a figure as low as 13 per cent to nearly 100 per cent). Early indications from low-income countries based on phone surveys point to a small decline in attendance upon a return to school but a larger increase in repetition, which may increase dropout rates in coming years.ĭata from 73 (mostly low- and middle-income) countries for the period of 2013-2021, indicate that about 7 in 10 children 3 and 4 years of age are developmentally on track, with no significant differences by child’s sex. It is too early to predict the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on completion. The proportion of young people completing upper secondary school increased from 54 per cent in 2015 to 58 per cent in 2020, with completion slowing down relative to progress in the preceding five-year period. School closures have affected girls, children from disadvantaged backgrounds, those living in rural areas, children with disabilities and children from ethnic minorities more than their peers. This generation of children could lose a combined total of $17 trillion in lifetime earnings in present value. It is estimated that 147 million children missed more than half of their in-class instruction over the past two years. School closures brought on by the pandemic have had devastating consequences for children’s learning and well-being. Most education systems in the world have been severely affected by education disruptions and have faced unprecedented challenges. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a global education crisis. Target 4.c: Globally, in 2020, over 14% of teachers are still not qualified according to national norms, with little improvement since 2015. For other facilities such as computer facilities and the provision of disability adapted infrastructure, figures are substantially lower, with around 50% of primary schools with access. In 2020, approximately a quarter of primary schools globally do not have access to basic services such as electricity, drinking water and basic sanitation facilities. Target 4.a: Basic school infrastructure is far from universal. Participation is substantially higher among youth aged 15-24 (40%-50%), compared to those aged 25-55 (only 5% for most regions). Target 4.3: Among 131 countries with data from 2017 onwards, on average approximately one in six youth and adults aged 15-64 recently participated in formal or non-formal education and training. Target 4.2: Participation rate in organized learning one year before the official primary entry age has stagnated at around 75% since 2015, still far from the target of ensuring that all girls and boys have access to quality pre-primary education by 2030. Furthermore, learning losses due to COVID-related school closures have been documented in 4 out of 5 of the 104 countries that have carried out such studies. Looking closely at reading levels at the end of primary school, for which trend data cover 34% of the world’s children, the analysis shows that global learning levels showed no progress between 2015-2019. Even before the onset of COVID19, these rates had slowed down relative to progress in 2010–15. Target 4.1: Between 20, the school completion rate increased from 85% to 87% in primary, from 74% to 77% in lower secondary and from 54% in 2015 to 58% in upper secondary education. To deliver SDG4, education systems must be re-imagined, and education financing must become a priority national investment. ![]() An estimated 84 million children and young people will still be out of school and an estimated 300 million student will still not have the basic numeracy and literacy skills they need to succeed in life. If no additional measures are taken, only one in six countries will meet SDG4 and achieve universal access to quality education by 2030. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was already off-track to achieve its education targets. |
