McLean says that he has been through some trying times learning to live independently after leaving home at seventeen. “I’ve been on a constant repetition of moving into places where it was a very poor decision to make because of the people I was going with, which led to a toxic environment.” He says that this opportunity for housing has stopped a cycle that was beginning to transpire because of a lack of safe housing.

It’s perfect for a colony in its first month or two when you’ve just landed on the planet and have no time for research. The wood-fired generator is one of the most basic power sources, requiring no research and being a cheap construction.

Martial law has twice been implemented nationally by a president during wartime, first by Abraham Lincoln in border states between the North and South during the Civil War, and then again by local military officials in Hawaii during World War II.

For the money, the 240Z is an almost brilliant car.’ This quote from Car and Driver in 1970 tells you all you need to know about the 240Z. ‘The difference between the Datsun 240Z and your everyday three-and-a-half thousand dollar sports car is that about twice as much thinking went into the Datsun. In the Toyota 2000GT, Japan had built a sports car for the wealthy and the glamorous, but in the 240Z, Datsun delivered something a little more blue collar. Powered by a 4.8-litre naturally-aspirated V10 engine, the LFA can hit 200mph, and just 200 were built. “If someone were to offer me the choice of any car that had ever been made, ever, I would like a dark blue Lexus LFA,” said Jeremy Clarkson. The Lexus LFA was a long time coming: development work started in 2000, with the final production version not appearing until October 2009. Just 4,392 were produced before the AZ-1 fell victim to the Japanese recession. Weighing just 720kg, the AZ-1 could hit a top speed of 87mph. Power was sourced from a Suzuki 657cc turbocharged engine producing 63hp at 6,500rpm. Sold by Mazda under its Autozam brand, the AZ-1 was built by Suzuki and featured a pair of gullwing doors. If the Toyota 2000GT is the prettiest sports car to emerge from Japan, the Autozam AZ-1 is arguably the cutest. By the time the last car rolled out of the factory in 1970, the 2000GT had set numerous speed records, appeared in a Bond movie and put Japan firmly on the world sports car map. Launched in 1967, the 2000GT was powered by a 2.0-litre six-cylinder engine developing 150hp, enough to hit a top speed of 136mph. Whisper it, but we reckon the Toyota 2000GT is prettier than the Jag. It has been labelled the ‘Japanese E-Type’, but this is unfair. ![]() ![]() Don’t forget the blueprinted, naturally aspirated 3.0-litre V6 engine and manual gearbox either. The NSX-R weighs around 120kg less than the standard car, with carbon-kevlar seats, Enkei forged wheels and virtually no soundproofing. That sounds steep for a 26-year-old Honda, until you realise that only 483 were made – all for the Japanese market. ![]() This stunning example of the first Type R was recently sold by Collecting Cars for £160,000. You’ll note we have excluded hot hatches – that’s a whole different argument – and, for the most part, have limited ourselves to one example of every make and model. It includes the fast and the furious, but also the affordable and unusual. Which Japanese sports cars would you have in your lottery-win garage? Honda NSX or Nissan Skyline GT-R? Mazda RX-7 or Toyota Supra? Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution or Subaru Impreza WRX? We argued about this for hours before boiling it down to the following list. ![]() Open source ai transcription11/9/2023 ![]() “We turned to religious texts, such as the Bible, that have been translated in many different languages and whose translations have been widely studied for text-based language translation research,” the company said. Meta used an unconventional approach to collecting audio data: tapping into audio recordings of translated religious texts. (Labels are crucial to machine learning, allowing the algorithms to correctly categorize and “understand” the data.) But for languages that aren’t widely used in industrialized nations - many of which are in danger of disappearing in the coming decades - “this data simply does not exist,” as Meta puts it. Speech recognition and text-to-speech models typically require training on thousands of hours of audio with accompanying transcription labels. “Through this work, we hope to make a small contribution to preserve the incredible language diversity of the world.” ![]() ![]() “Today, we are publicly sharing our models and code so that others in the research community can build upon our work,” the company wrote.

The company’s Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) project can recognize over 4,000 spoken languages and produce speech (text-to-speech) in over 1,100. ![]() Meta has created an AI language model that (in a refreshing change of pace) isn’t a ChatGPT clone. ![]() Transitional typeface names11/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re looking for a font that makes a statement but is still highly readable, Century Old Style may be the one for you. Supreme Court requires that all briefs are presented in fonts from the Century family. It’s offered in two different styles-regular and bold with an italics version for each. Century Old Style is one of the few fonts that is ideal as a newspaper font for both the headline and body. It’s often paired with ITC Johnston for use in newspapers. Known for its readability, the Century Old Style is a serif font with a large x-height and letters that are all open form. Compared to its predecessor, Courier, Courier New is more legible with smoother edges and a higher line space. As a monospaced font, Courier is useful when columns of characters need to be aligned consistently. The inspiration behind its design came from the typewriter fonts used for technical documentation.įun fact: it’s often used in computer programming because it has larger punctuation marks, sans-serif options, and features that increase its legibility on screens. Originally designed for IBM as a typewriter face, Courier New is now also used in magazines and newspapers that focus on more industrial topics. It is often paired with Georgia, Lato, or Josefin Sans for editorial purposes. This shows up on lettering as the verticals of the letters are thick and the horizontals are thinner. These fonts usually have vertical stress meaning that there is more pressure on the vertical access and weight is on the horizontal axis. Transitional fonts are characterized by a larger x-height, more contrast between the thick and thin strokes, and wide and bracketed serifs with flat bases. Because of the high contrast strokes, readability is lower when the font is used at smaller sizes. It gives off a handwritten feel but is still legible enough for quick reading in headlines. Similar to Franklin Gothic, it’s more suited for headlines and titles because of its delicate stroke and beautiful italic style. Playfair Display is an open source transitional serif font, meaning it is available free for personal and commercial use. As a result, words are wider and very legible even on a small screen or as a smaller font size. The heavier stroke weight gives it personality and style and stands out among the rest of the sans serif typefaces. It easily reminds readers of a classic newspaper look so it’s used even for digital newspapers now. Franklin Gothic is less suitable for longer text because it’s extra bolded and doesn’t save space. Due to its fuller and bold look, it’s most often found as a newspaper headline font or on advertisements. The word ‘Gothic’ was used to describe fonts that are sans-serif in the past but is rarely used now. Franklin Gothicįranklin Gothic is a san-serif typeface that gives a modern look to your newspaper. The Poynter font also comes in 12 styles, with plenty of currency symbols, numerals, and punctuation marks that increase its legibility. These types of fonts are usually used for copy that wants to evoke feelings of tradition, history, and honesty. Poynter is a serif typeface which means that it has extra strokes on the ends of the letterform. It was designed specifically for newspaper printing in small sizes and for the narrow columns. PoynterĪ study done by Ascender Corp. found that 36 out of 97 leading newspapers used Poynter as their main font. This font is ideal for large newspaper headline fonts, newspaper title fonts, or even for lengthier paragraphs. It also supports the most languages including Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Urdu, Khmer and Vietnamese alphabets. Helvetica offers 36 different styles like Helvetica Light, BMW Helvetica, Helvetica Rounded, etc. It’s easy to read because the letters are so close together and can be read from far away. Helvetica has a dense and solid appearance because of the large x-height and tight space between the characters. It’s German and Swiss-inspired and has multiple weights, styles, and sizes with related and matching designs. Helvetica is another popular choice for newspapers as it’s a very strong font. For a safe and professional choice, Times News Roman could be the one for you. In spite of that, Times New Roman is still a popular choice and also has one of the largest ranges of characters for international and mathematics printing. However, thanks to its ubiquity, it can come off as lacking character. Due to its popularity, Time New Roman has become the default font for many platforms and professions. Its shape is narrower than most other fonts, even when bolded, so it’s perfect for newspapers that want to fit more text on a single line. Even though it has a lot of old style characteristics, it is still highly legible and is widely used in books, magazines, reports, professional use and, of course, in newspapers. One of the most successful fonts of all time, Times New Roman was designed for the Times of London newspaper. ![]() Diane ladd wild at heart11/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1976, she starred in A Texas Trilogy: Lu Ann Hampton Laverty Oberlander, for which she received a Drama Desk Award nomination.
