![]() TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITYRoom temperature in the 70's will be suitable for your pet mantis. The ideal enclosure should have plenty of space and objects such as branches and plants for the mantis to hang upside down during molting. The general rule of thumb is that the enclosure should be at least three times the length of the mantid’s height, and twice the width of the body. Screened cages are a great choice for sub-adults and adults because they provide adequate ventilation. Provide a stick or twig for the mantis to climb and perch on.This species is highly cannibalistic and should not be housed together after L2.As the mantis grows, it can be transferred to a larger enclosure. During molts, it is vital that you do not disturb them. Unfortunately, issues with molting are the most common cause of death in captivity.įabric vented lids. Do not be alarmed if it refuses its food. Your mantis will shed its skin several times during its lifecycle as it grows larger, and prior to its molt, the mantis will stop eating for a day or two. L2 symbolizes the second instar, after its first molt). MOLTINGNymphs (juvenile mantids) undergo a series of repeated growth in their development known as instars. ![]() Hatching can be delayed by simply storing the egg case in a refrigerator within a non-airtight container for up to two months.Since each ootheca contains dozens to hundreds of baby mantids, please be ready for them when they hatch - mantids make great gifts for others, and even good snacks for many different species of reptiles and amphibians (and each other, if you do not house them individually).We do not recommend releasing the Chinese mantises outdoors, as they are not a native species. Full-grown adults typically have a lifespan between 6 to 9 months in captivity.Mantids can easily be sexed by counting their abdominal segments, with females having six abdominal segments while males having eight.Ĭhinese mantis egg case, or ootheca, contains 50-200 or more babies and typically will hatch within 3-6 weeks.Īn ootheca will hatch earlier if kept warm. In fact, it is the most common and favorable mantid in the pet hobby due to their low maintenance, size, docile nature, and availability.Adults reach up to 4 inches in length and are easily identifiable by the green edge on their wings. BACKGROUNDOriginally introduced from Asia for the purpose of pest control, the Chinese mantis is now one of the most common mantid species found within North America. ![]() The central bank has now been in a holding pattern since its last rate hike on July 26. Higher interest rates increase the cost of borrowing money for both banks and consumers and have an indirect influence on mortgage rates. Mortgage rates started to climb two years ago, as inflation surged and the Fed had to step in to tame it by hiking its key short-term interest rate, the federal funds rate. Read more: What Lower Mortgage Rates Mean for the Holiday Homebuying Season Today’s mortgage interest rate trends If you’re looking to buy a home, make sure to compare loan offers from multiple lenders and choose the best rate and term for you. They also vary widely by loan type and lender. Mortgage rates are determined by various economic conditions as well as specific factors like your credit score. ![]() The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 7.21% last week, compared to its peak at 8.09% in October, according to CNET’s sister site Bankrate. “The combination of home prices and still-high rates means affordability remains historically low despite improvement from recent peaks,” Matt Graham, of Mortgage News Daily, told CNET. While this signals a positive direction for the housing market, home loans are significantly more expensive than they were during the pandemic. 12 to 13 meeting, the Fed decided to hold interest rates steady for a third consecutive time. The recent drop in mortgage rates is due to falling inflation and other economic indicators, as well as messaging from the Federal Reserve that interest rate cuts are coming in 2024. ![]() Since early November, mortgage rates have been slowly inching lower. ![]() Up until this point, most video stores were small operations with limited rental options. Bottom line: Camcorders were an 80s phenomenon. The company’s Betamax camera was also refined this year, and resulted in significant sales. This was the first multi-use recorder that also functioned as a camera-and was portable. Sony then revealed the first one-piece camcorder, the BMC100, in 1983. In 1982, JVC and Sony revealed the world’s first at CES. The Camera/recorder, or camcorder, combined video and still image into one compact system. The following year, the inventions came to North America at the Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) in Chicago. With these two inventions, a small one-inch thick tape could be inserted into a video player and watched via television or projector. In 1976, JVC launched the iconic video home system (VHS) and the Vidstar video cassette recorder (VCR) in Japan. Abrams, would later go on to direct a movie called Super 8. Interestingly, some of the world’s best-known directors like Steven Spielberg got their start with the Super 8. which is fitting that his protege, J.J. ![]() Unlike previous film formats, this particular innovation used cartridge, which eliminated having to spool film through the camera. The Super 8 camera-an improvement to Eastman Kodak’s 8 mm film format became available to aspiring filmmakers in 1965, noted for its straightforward, easy-to-use technology. ![]() The Telstar-a spherical satellite similar in size and aesthetic to a beach ball-was the first privately sponsored space initiative and cost AT&T $3 million to launch via NASA. On JAT&T’s Telstar satellite dish made its debut with a live transatlantic broadcast. Over the years, the idea gained traction, and in the 60s nearly all higher-income households owned a set. Due to its hefty price, and color programming’s still relatively unfamiliar concept, none sold. The first commercially sold color TV set was first available for purchase in 1954, at $1,295 and found in just 60 New York-located stores. Today, news broadcasting networks are planted around the world, and televised updates can be viewed nearly every hour of the day. In 1950, the CBS program became available across the U.S. How else were we supposed to know Dorothy’s slippers were sparkly red?ĭouglas Edwards was America’s first regular news anchor, starring on CBS’s nightly broadcasted Television News (later titled Evening News) from 1948 to 1962. Fantasia and The Wizard of Oz are the two most distinguished motion picture movies to utilize Technicolor technology in the late 1930s. Three years later, Kodachrome was created-mainly for amateur home movie-making and slideshows. Three-strip Technicolor was first introduced and commercialized in 1932. Later that same year, the duo debuted their film Sortie de l'usine Lumière de Lyon to the public. In 1895 their dream became a reality, when they created and patented the cinematograph-the world’s first motion picture camera. Inspired by Thomas Edison and William Dickson’s picture projector, brothers and filmmakers Auguste and Louis Lumiere were determined to find a way to combine film and projection into a solo device. As a result, Le Prince recorded his 12-frames/second video breakthrough using his single-lens camera and Eastman Kodak’s paper-based photographic film. French inventor, Louis Le Prince, staked his claim on some of the earliest film technology – the single-lens camera. The first documented film wouldn’t officially take place until a decade later.Īccording to the Guinness Book of Records, the oldest surviving film in existence is the Roundhay Garden Scene – a two second clip of people gleefully walking/dancing in a circle. It was a series of cabinet cards by Eadweard Muybridge to show an example of chronophotography – an early method of photography to record the passing of time. ![]() And while it was monumental for the birth of film, it isn’t considered the earliest film because it’s not, in fact, film. Many people consider the “Race Horse” to be the earliest documented film in history. Here’s a look at some of the art form’s most notable historic moments: From the cinematograph in 1895 to Facebook Live videos streamed from our smartphones, technology continues to reinvent the ways we view motion pictures. Since its inception over 100 years ago, filmmaking has evolved significantly into what we know today: Blue Ray, Ultra HD, GoPro-all of which are likely to one day become just as outdated as the long forgotten VHS, Camcorder, and satellite TV. Watching digital 3D films with intricate graphics, surround sound, and the marshmallow-y seats of a movie theatre makes it easy to forget what movies were like before The Wizard of Oz, when recordings were stored on bulky film tape and viewed in gritty black and white color. ![]() I'm divorcing you, go marry someone else and make 'em famousĪnd take away their freedom like you did to me Man, I don't know, but tonight I'm serving you with papers Jealous when I spend time with the girls, why I'm married to you still?

You can also opt to order the product and pay monthly installments to your phone carrier. It's important to note that we included contract-free pricing for each iPhone. A Plus or a Pro Max is also better for gaming, watching videos, attending virtual meetings, and staying productive in general. An iPhone with a 6.1-inch display will always be more pocket- and purse-friendly and easier to use with one hand on the move.īig-screen iPhones have a considerable edge in battery endurance. Save for the tiny 4.7-inch iPhone SE, every iPhone on the market is available with a 6.1- or a 6.7-inch screen, with the latter reserved for Plus and Pro Max models. That said, you should know that lower-priced non-Pro offerings are always the best for the money and perfect for students, older techies, and upgraders who aren't tech-savvy in general. Overall, an iPhone Pro is always the one to get if you want the best of everything. ![]() A more powerful chip in real life translates into superior multitasking, gaming, and faster interactions. Moreover, iPhone Pros have a chip a generation ahead of the non-Pro models since 2022, when the iPhone 14 arrived with an A15 Bionic and the 14 Pro with the A16 Bionic on board. The setup is more versatile than the dual snapper of the non-Pro iterations. Since 2019, when the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max debuted the feature, every Pro model that followed offered a triple camera with dedicated telephoto units. When choosing between a standard iPhone and a Pro version, you should know that the latter always has an edge in craftsmanship, performance, and camera quality, among other bits. What to Consider Choosing Between a Regular and Pro iPhone The magnetic technology makes the iPhone compatible with snap-on accessories like chargers, battery packs, and wallets, to name a few. And save for the old-school iPhone SE, all iPhones are Face ID-equipped and MagSafe-compatible. The iPhone 13 received a price cut and replaced its predecessor as an entry-level big-screen offering, while the iPhone 13 mini - Apple’s compact all-screen iPhone - is no longer for sale, leaving the iPhone SE as the only option with a smaller screen.Įvery new iPhone has up-to-date 5G network connectivity. ![]() After 3 years on the shelves, the iPhone 12 is no longer available. ![]() The iPhone 15 debut brought significant changes to Apple’s iPhone lineup. In addition to USB-C, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max feature an all-new, stunning titanium build, a customizable action button, a cutting-edge A17 Pro chip, and an upgraded camera with a longer zoom range on the big-screen version. ![]() The noteworthy highlights include USB-C connectors for the entire iPhone 15 lineup, an upgraded camera, and Dynamic Island for the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. Available with 6.1- and 6.7-inch display panels, the latest iPhones bring a host of design and hardware updates over their predecessors.

In the market for a new iPhone? You came to the right place. ![]() Pika is now leasing a few hundred GPUs - some from Friedman’s Andromeda cluster, some from other cloud providers - which it used to build a new version of the AI model it debuted today. What we’re trying to do is something more for everyday consumers.” “We’re not trying to build a product for film production. And when Mignano brought up the idea of a web app earlier in November, Guo took it as a directive to deliver the product that same month. Indeed, within weeks of Pika’s founders telling Friedman realistic video was far too difficult a task for them to pull off, they did just that. The Information was first to report that Lightspeed was in talks to invest. Lightspeed partner Michael Mignano, who invested in September, sees this as a crucial edge for Pika: “A startup’s biggest weapon and biggest advantage is speed, and this is honestly the fastest moving team I’ve ever seen,” he told Forbes. ![]() ![]() “It was part of what persuaded me to do the next investment,” he says. Friedman recalls being shocked initially, but he soon realized this “very intense” pace was typical of the team. He received a text message back at 3 a.m. One summer afternoon, Friedman suggested they add a way to embed text into videos. But Guo and Meng’s rapid pace of development surprised investors - and themselves. Then, there was Adobe, a $280 billion public market behemoth that was moving quickly to add AI functionality to Creative Suite. The founders told Friedman that taking on AI generation of realistic videos would be too difficult, given that larger well-funded companies like Runway and Stability AI already had significant headstarts. In its early days, Pika focused only on generating anime. That helped supercharge Pika’s efforts to build a proprietary AI model for video, similar to OpenAI’s text-based GPT-4 or Midjourney’s image-based models. Friedman and frequent coinvestor Daniel Gross have amassed a 2,500-plus GPU cluster they call Andromeda which they make available to startups in which they invest. He told Forbes he was impressed by an early demo version that Guo and Meng had cobbled together using a single graphics processing unit (GPU), the hardware chips which power most AI computing tasks. Nat Friedman, who has emerged as one of the leading solo investors in the AI space since he departed GitHub in 2021, first invested in Pika back in April. ![]() For example in the 1.5.x release line, there are 1.5.0, 1.5.1, and 1.5.2 versions. Version numberingĭevice OS releases follow semantic versioning ("semver") guidelines with numbering. Because of the more limited function set and smaller attack surface, recommended updates for security reasons are rare. You must manually opt into each update, and updates are generally not required. Unlike computer operating systems like Windows or Mac, Device OS will never be automatically updated under your application. This normally requires a few reboot cycles that happen automatically. However, at boot, the device will discover this and go into safe mode (breathing magenta), and the cloud will send down the missing binaries. ![]() For example, if the device has 1.5.2 and you target your user firmware for 2.0.0, the user firmware would not initially be able to run because the Device OS version is too old. If you flash user firmware that requires a newer version of Device OS than is currently installed on the device, the device will automatically upgrade. ![]() For example, if your user firmware targets 1.5.0, it will work not only on 1.5.0, but also 1.5.2, and 2.0.0. Programing new user firmware replaces the previous user firmware.Įach user firmware binary specifies the minimum version of Device OS that it is compatible with, referred to as the target version. Unlike desktop and laptop computers, Particle devices only run a single user application at a time. Separating the two makes upgrading the smaller user firmware quick and easy allowing for rapid test and debug cycles, even when programming firmware over cellular networks. The user firmware is the part specific to your product or application and is typically the code you've written in C/C++. Device OS contains the code necessary to communicate with the hardware on the device (including cellular or Wi-Fi radios), as well as the Particle cloud. Most applications consist of two parts: Device OS ("system firmware") and the user application ("user firmware"). ![]() As a result, this shift comes with the cost of noise, confusion and new processes that might be equally error-prone, time-consuming and unscalable. No matter who is managing them, though, real estate transaction workflows will still be prohibitively complex. In some ways, shifting these responsibilities away from investment teams can allow them to prioritize important deal work. Real estate transaction coordinators assist deal teams by handling tedious, detail-oriented tasks, helping them to accomplish more in a faster timeframe.Īs investors source new deals and consider them based on data and analytics, real estate transaction coordinators manage tasks, approvals, paperwork and other administrative work required as deals move through the pipeline. What Is a Real Estate Transaction Coordinator? Read on to learn more about the void that real estate transaction coordinators fill, and considerations your firm must make when strategizing about how to scale. Ultimately, this approach may not lead to the same streamlined, scalable and data-first pipeline process you set out to achieve. While having another set of trained eyes can create much-needed bandwidth, relying on a sole team member to manage these responsibilities can lead to new types of friction, which can become increasingly risk-prone as your firm scales. Some firms experiencing these constant fire drills hire real estate transaction coordinators to reduce administrative workloads. Managing numerous pipeline deals at any given time, investment deal teams are bogged down with data entry, appointment scheduling, permitting and other detail-oriented and tedious–yet essential–pieces of the broader puzzle. “natural” rivalĬommissioner Rob Manfred told reporters earlier this month the schedule in 2023 would be more balanced, and it certainly looks as if it will be. each remaining team in leagueĤ6 Games of Interleague Play - 3 games apiece vs. The Athletic’s Jayson Stark broke down how the 2023 schedule will look:ĥ6 divisional games - 14 vs. With players like Seiya Suzuki on the Cubs, Shohei Ohtani on the Angels and Mookie Betts on the Dodgers, fans likely want to see some of the best players throughout the league more than once every few years. For Boston Red Sox fans, this means they see the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles quite a bit and don’t see teams like Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Angels or Los Angeles Dodgers all that often. MLB teams spend a majority of the 162-game season facing teams in their division with some interleague play scattered in here and there. One change that seems to have gotten overlooked is how the league plans to balance out the schedule after this season. There were a slew of changes in the new collective bargaining agreement including a universal designated hitter and a ban of the shift. The way Major League Baseball has made its schedule year after year hasn’t changed much, but fans will see a difference come the 2023 season.
