![]() ![]() Lou Williams and Nick Young recently remembered the time that Kobe threw all of their Kobes in the trash after a loss to Portland because he said they didn’t deserve to wear them, a story Young delved into more detail about on his “Certified Buckets” podcast: That is so subtle and hilarious, and that’s the thing: There are so many stories of Kobe’s incredible, will-breaking trash talk, even to his own teammates. Think about the level of confidence it takes to tell another NBA player, with 12 minutes to play, that they’re just done for the night. Seriously, you have to watch Shumpert tell this story, because his delivery is like 25% of what makes it so amazing: “Then he pulled up from like 35 feet on some Steph Curry shit before Steph was doing that, he pulled up and laced it! D’Antoni looking at me, I’m like ‘bro, I (shrugs).’ I’m like ‘bro, I guarded everything bro.’ Nah, bro.” ![]() Shot, get to the spot, shot fake, spin pivot over here, drop it off the glass. ”The man comes down, you remember, shot fake, shot fake, threw it off the glass, threw it to the corner, I’m like ‘bro, what you on?’ Like bro you’ve been regular all game. Kobe was happy to let his game do most of the talking back in this case: I’ve been talking shit, I done stole the ball, I’m hyped as hell, it’s Kobe Bryant.’ He ain’t said not one word to me. I swear I looked at the clock like ‘there’s 12 minutes, what you talkin’ bout?’ Like, ‘what was that?’ You know what I’m saying, like ‘you ain’t said nothing the entire game. ‘yo, you had a great game young fella.’ I’m looking like bro. ![]() ”The fourth quarter starts, and Kobe says. How I stripped Kobe before he was gonna take a shot, how I drove by Kobe and got a dunk.’ I’m thinking about all these things in my head, and I’m like so geeked. I can’t remember how much he had, but I know I had multiple steals against him, to where in the game, in my head, all I’m thinking of is ‘when I have this conversation with my brother after the game, I’m gonna tell him how I stole the ball from Kobe. with one quarter left to play still ( via “Ebro in the Morning” on Hot 97): What brought this into my mind over the last day or so was this incredible (and incredibly told) story from Iman Shumpert, about the time Kobe told him he had a great game. I don’t need to tell anyone that reads this website this, but Kobe was a stone-cold killer. We’ve talked about some of his unforgettable on-court moments and shared some great personal stories, but there is one specific aspect that I thought about a lot that I don’t think that we stopped to appreciate enough amidst all the sadness of the last few months: Kobe Bryant the trash talker. Kobe Bryant’s tragic passing has left us discussing him a lot lately, but not always in an enjoyable way, considering the circumstances. Our first entry in the series falls distinctly in the former group, and it’s a guy we’ve talked about a lot lately: Kobe Bryant. This is going to be a look back at (and appreciation of) notable players and figures in the franchise’s history, as well as just remembering some random guys that all of us obsessives still think about sometimes. Well, you asked, and we’re going to try to deliver, which is why today I’m debuting the ‘Let’s appreciate a Laker’ series, which we will (try to) post an entry in every day for as long as this stoppage goes. You all came through, and gave us so many great ideas (thank you!), many of which we will jump into over the next few weeks, but one of the most common themes of those suggestions was historical stuff, looking back at fun Lakers memories of old. Over the last few days since the Lakers (and entire NBA) had their season suspended due to the threat of COVID-19, or coronavirus, I asked both on Twitter and on this site what sort of stories you all would like to hear more about while we don’t have fresh basketball to discuss. ![]()

![]() ![]() It's much harder to leak in ARC because of a simple "oh, I forgot to release. It's incredibly easy to leak in non-ARC code with a simple omitted release or autorelease (though, admittedly, the above links will help you find them). ![]() If you're worried about leaks, using ARC is (IMHO) one of the easiest way to eliminate many mundane leaks. That way, you'll see a message on your console when the object is deallocated. if non-ARC, remember to include the following line, too: If you're wondering if some object is being deallocated properly, it's useful to add a diagnostic dealloc implementation to your object that should be released: - _FUNCTION_) See iOS app with ARC, find who is owner of an object At that point, it's sometimes useful to use the Allocations tool in Instruments, highlight some allocation that you suspect should have been freed but wasn't, and it will show you what allocated that memory. Sometimes for strong reference cycles, it won't always be flagged by the Leaks tool in instruments. The Finding Leaks in Your App discussion in the Instruments User Guide. In terms of finding leaks, the standard tools all work fine:Įspecially if doing non-ARC code, the static analyzer ( shift+ command+ B or choose "Analyze" from the "Product" menu) is very useful. That's a function of your choice of ARC v MRC and whether you've avoided retain cycles and, if doing MRC, whether you've included the necessary release statements. The fact that one uses blocks has no bearing on whether the code leaks or not. The blocks retain the objects they reference (unless the object is qualified, such as with _block in MRC or with _weak in ARC). If you're putting blocks in blocks, that's doesn't introduce any additional leak risks (unless you concoct some circular set of references that causes a strong reference cycle, which is generally unlikely when doing blocks within blocks). If you remember that blocks maintain strong references to objects they reference, then just follow the standard basic rules of memory management.Īs discussed in the Use Lifetime Qualifiers to Avoid Strong Reference Cycles, in MRC you can use the _block qualifier to solve these strong reference cycles, but in ARC, you can use the _weak qualifier.

Our complete wall systems include all the layers required for a high-performance building envelope system: air, thermal, water-shedding, vapor, water, and durable control layers. Sto Corp wall systems provide architects, builders, and developers with cutting-edge building envelope technology to create energy-efficient, durable, safe, and sustainable walls with beautiful and unique aesthetics. Achieving Better Building Envelope Walls with Sto Corp High-performing, durable walls of a tight building envelope must include air, vapor, thermal, and water-shedding layers. Today’s building team must consider all components of the building envelope to ensure its performance however, the exterior walls are its most significant component. The whole-building system approach requires that the entire construction project team (developers, architects, builders, and designers) work together during the design and building phases towards the overall project goals for a tight building envelope, to ensure energy-efficient, durable, and cost-efficient structures with excellent environmental indoor quality (EIQ). The modern approach to achieving a better building envelope system requires builders, architects, and developers to apply the whole-building system.

![]() ![]() ![]() Research is still inconclusive, but it appears that fatty fish consumption (and hence higher dietary intake of EPA/DHA) plays a role in brain function even through adulthood ( x, x, x). A study, for example, found that patients with Alzheimer’s had lower serum levels of DHA and EPA compared to people without the disease. Later in life, omega 3 fatty acids could help protect against dementia. Lower-mercury varieties include salmon, trout, sardines and herring ( x). It cautions, however, that some fish may contain harmful mercury. The National Institutes of Health recommends that pregnant women eat 8 to 12 ounces of EPA/DHA-rich fish per week. One study even found that infants of mothers who took DHA supplements during pregnancy performed better at problem-solving tests at 9 months old ( x, x, x). Adequate DHA intake in fetal and infant brains is associated with better cognitive skills. During the third trimester of gestation, DHA quickly accumulates in fetal tissue, especially the brain and retina. Omega-3s, particularly DHA, are critical for the proper development of the brain. It seems to reduce major occurrences in some people, but not others ( x). Extra inches around the belly is a risk factor for heart disease, and studies show that EPA/DHA can help reduce waist circumference when combined with other healthy lifestyle habits like exercise ( x, x).ĭespite these effects of EPA and DHA on the cardiovascular system, researchers are still trying to determine the extent to which this prevents death from heart attacks and strokes. In addition, just as some people take aspirin for their heart to reduce blood coagulation, EPA and DHA work in the same way ( x, x, x).ĮPA/DHA supplements may help promote heart health in another way too. It also reduces markers of inflammation that can lead to coronary events like heart attack or stroke. High triglycerides are a risk factor for heart disease, and research shows that those who eat two servings of fatty fish per week or take a EPA/DHA supplement have lower triglyceride levels. Here are known benefits of omega-3 fatty acids: Cardiovascular Health Much of the research on omega-3s focuses on EPA and DHA. But since EPA and DHA have such important roles, some people choose to directly consume EPA/DHA-rich foods or supplements. Small amounts of ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA in the body. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) - fish, seafood and algaeĪLA is an essential omega-3 fatty acid because it must be obtained through diet.EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) - fish, seafood and algae.ALA (alpha-linoleic acid) - plant oils like flaxseed.Types of dietary omega-3 fatty acids and their dietary sources include: This is because they play important roles in the body and some people may not be getting enough of them. When talking about fatty acids, omega-3s get most of the attention. Benefits of Omega 3-6-9 Fatty Acids Omega-3 Fatty Acids The goal of an omega 3-6-9 fatty acid supplement is to provide fats in a ratio that promotes health and well-being. Why are fatty acids made into supplements? While fatty acids are abundant in food, the types found in the modern western diet are no longer ideal. Other types, like omega-9 fatty acids, can be made in the body. These are called “essential” fatty acids and include some omega-3s and -6s. Some fats cannot be made in the body and must be obtained through food. The numbers 3, 6 and 9 simply refer to the location of the double bond on the molecule chain. Omega-9 fatty acids are “monounsaturated,” and therefore have only one double carbon bond. Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids are “polyunsaturated.” That is a chemical term that means the fat molecule contains multiple double carbon bonds. Omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 are three of them. The food we eat, if it contains fat, is broken down in our bodies into fatty acids so they can be absorbed. Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in our food. ![]() ![]() In fact, there are a ton of different image viewers out there, and many readers will have tried a few of them. ![]() It's the ubiquitous Swiss Army knife image viewer that fits my needs. XnView works on a generous freemium model that is free for non-commercial use with a modest $30 price for commercial users. Usefully, it has a version that will run straight off a USB stick. There are also Android and iOS variants principally for post-processing, as well as a command line batch processor for scripting ( NConvert). XnView Classic is the core product (for Windows), with a family of related applications that hang off it, including a less well-featured multi-platform (MacOS and Linux) version and specialist post-processing (Sketch and Retro) apps. I often find I want to directly add text or make some simple pixel corrections (erase/clone). What would I most like to see? Some pixel-level editing would be nice. Stick with something like Lightroom that is designed for the job. While the latter works okay, the former is fiddly to apply. It does allow tagging (with preset categories) and starring. My least favorite feature? When I said that XnView doesn’t do DAM, that’s not strictly correct. ![]() When I produce an online wedding album, I tend to export the full-resolution images from Lightroom and then resize them in XnView for upload to Pixieset. XnView is just fast, and with nearly all commands having a keyboard shortcut, there is no fuss.īy far, the standout feature for me is the batch processing: virtually any of the processing features in XnView can be set to run across groups of files (for example, resizing, adding watermarks, or producing overlay text. For example, when I produce an Fstoppers article, I need a banner image that’s 1000 x 570 pixels. It’s a quick resize to 1000 pixels wide, then a custom selection that is set to 570 pixels high. For my post-production work, this covers pretty much everything I need to do. ![]() It is also an image-level editor, allowing easy resize, rotate and crop (including lossless JPEG), simple adjustments (brightness, contrast, levels, color depth), and filter effects (such as blur, sharpen, noise reduction). XnView does this with aplomb, supporting over 500 file formats (usefully including multipage TIFFs) and allowing thumbnails, film strips or slideshows, as well as producing contact sheets. I usually export my images as JPEG/TIFF for clients and print houses once processing is complete, so after that, I need something quick to browse directories of images, review metadata, crop, rotate, batch rename/resize, print contact sheets, and apply quick grayscaling or levels adjustments. So, is this really that useful? I do all my DAM in Lightroom and when I want more selective, layer-based edits, I move to Affinity. It doesn't do DAM (digital asset management) or pixel-level editing. Before I go any further, let me clarify what it doesn't do. ![]() It supports a vast array of file formats, allows simple image level manipulations, and has a powerful batch-processing engine. And my vote goes to XnView, an application built from the ground up to view images quickly - very quickly. So when it comes to image viewers, I'm after something that allows me to eyeball photos quickly, supports masses of file formats, has flexible batch-processing, and launches fast. " Simplicity is good, because it strips back to what you need to achieve a task, and in the software world, that often means speed. And on that score, Lightroom and Photoshop may just top the mark for overcomplicated bloatware. I'm not knocking their capabilities for which they are exemplary and market-leading, but if there is a software mantra I like to stick to, then it is "keep it simple. ![]() ![]() ![]()
