What if, von Ahn wondered, he could channel all that unwitting microlabor toward something useful-the way, as he saw it, he had done with the ESP Game? Collectively, they were spending five hundred thousand hours every day proving to machines that they were human. By that point, people were deciphering CAPTCHA fragments two hundred million times a day, with each one taking about ten seconds. ![]() Later, while driving to Pittsburgh from a panel in Washington, D.C., von Ahn had another idea. A year after he published it, he became an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon and won a MacArthur “genius” grant. The game was also part of von Ahn’s dissertation, which he titled “Human Computation,” coining a term for what we now generally refer to as crowdsourcing. In 2006, von Ahn licensed the game to Google, which used it to improve search results for Google Images. The game wasn’t a mere diversion: computers, at the time, had difficulty tagging images, something that humans can do easily. The players couldn’t see the words their partners were choosing they won the round when their words matched. A few years after developing CAPTCHA, von Ahn created the ESP Game, which randomly paired online players, presented them with an image, and asked them to give it a one-word label. When people learn about his role in the program’s creation, he told me, they say, “Oh, you came up with that? I hate you.” This makes him feel bad, he said, but it didn’t deter him. Within three years, a version of it had been implemented by nearly every large company on the Internet.ĬAPTCHA did not make von Ahn rich, but it did make him mildly infamous. Within two weeks, the system was up and running. (Other researchers came up with similar proposals around the same time.) Von Ahn and Blum reached out to Yahoo, and gave the company the code free of charge. The program generated text, distorted it, and required users to decipher the letters correctly. With this in mind, von Ahn and his adviser, Manuel Blum, created a program called CAPTCHA: the Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. In college, von Ahn had read a book by the philosopher Douglas Hofstadter in which Hofstadter points out that computers can’t recognize text unless it’s standardized. Back in 2000, no computer had ever succeeded. ![]() The machine passes the test if the evaluator can’t reliably decide which is which. In the most familiar version of the test, a person poses questions to two figures he cannot see: one human, one machine. What the company needed was a rudimentary variation on the Turing Test, which the English mathematician Alan Turing had proposed, in 1950, as a way of determining whether machines could credibly imitate human beings. “That seemed just a lot more interesting.”Īt the talk, one particular problem caught his attention: millions of bots were registering for Yahoo accounts because the company couldn’t distinguish them from human beings. “I talked to some computer-science professors and they would say, ‘Oh, yeah, I solved an open problem last week,’ ” he told me recently. He had planned to study math until he realized that many mathematicians were still toiling away over questions that had proved unanswerable for centuries. Von Ahn, who had just begun his Ph.D., liked solving problems. In the fall of 2000, as the first dot-com bubble was bursting, the Guatemalan computer scientist Luis von Ahn attended a talk, at Carnegie Mellon, about ten problems that Yahoo couldn’t solve. ![]() ![]() Kojic acid and arbutin are naturally derived substances. People in some countries have limited access to hydroquinone creams because they may cause side effects. According to an article in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, low concentrations of hydroquinone and kojic acid can be effective. Hydroquinone, kojic acid, and arbutin are compounds that disrupt the production of melanin in the skin. Hydroquinone, kojic acid, and arbutin creams People should talk to their doctor or another healthcare professional before using retinoid creams. Retinoids creams are not appropriate for everyone. These vitamin A-derived creams also decrease the melanin content in the skin. Retinoid creams, found in beauty stores, can also help promote collagen production and improve the appearance of dark eye circles. People may notice an improved appearance of dark circles under their eyes when using beauty products with high concentrations of vitamin C. Blood stasis refers to blood that pools in blood vessels. Increasing collagen production under the eyes can reduce blood stasis, which may cause discoloration. Vitamin C can increase collagen production. It is important to note that researchers have not studied the effects of applying cucumber slices or cold tea bags to the eyes to prevent or treat dark eye circles. ![]() Some suggest using caffeinated tea bags because caffeine can also constrict blood vessels and reduce their appearance on the skin surface.Ĭaffeine can also speed up blood flow across blood vessels around the eyes and can give a youthful and fresh appearance to the skin.

They are named after physicist Max von Laue (1879–1960). In crystallography and solid state physics, the Laue equations relate incoming waves to outgoing waves in the process of elastic scattering, where the photon energy or light temporal frequency does not change upon scattering by a crystal lattice. Laue pattern processing and indexing using NorthStar Real-Time Orientation software. The classification of the scattering regimes is confirmed by simulations in terms of numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations.Equations describing diffraction in a crystal lattice Laue equation The transition between single and multiple scattering is observed for Δ n ≈ 0.16 − 0.25 before multiple scattering dominates for larger Δ n. We find that the kinematic approach describes the shape and intensity distribution of experimental scattering curves in acceptable accuracy as long as Δ n < 0.15. Probing the local strain, shape (size, orientation) and composition of micro and nano materials is the main objective of our Laue micro-diffraction setup. Measured scattering curves of selected Bragg reflections are classified in terms of Δ n. We aim to describe the intensity distribution of diffracting Bragg peaks with analytic expressions similarly to x-ray scattering at electronic crystals. Here we systematically study the scattering of visible light by 3D woodpile photonic crystals with varying internal refractive index contrast Δ n, to determine the limits of the single (kinematic) scattering approach. However, direct conclusions from the Laue diagrams to the underlying crystals structure cannot be drawn, as multiple scattering due to the high index contrast takes place. Note: Author names will be searched in the keywords field, also, but that may find papers where the person is mentioned, rather than papers they authored.īragg diffraction is often used as a tool to assess the structural quality of two-dimensional and three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals.Before discussing the proposed NN, in this section we present the classical method of indexing Laue patterns by peak-pair recognition (Heizmann & Baro, 1967 Riquet & Bonnet, 1979), which is implemented in most Laue indexing tools.

Again, keeping those sides nice and short adds extra definition to the style. Use a sea salt primer and blow dry using a brush to increase the volume and really influence those waves. Middle Parting With Volumeīringing a bit more height to the middle parted look, this style thrives with finer hair. A very light, cream finishing product applied to damp hair will help draw out the sideways volume and slightly tousled texture. Here’s a great example of letting the length really grow out on top while keeping the back and sides cut much neater. 14 Excellent Middle Parting Haircuts For Men Tousled Curtains Haircut Here’s a rundown of some middle part hairstyles that showcase the benefits of more variety in length, freer-flowing texture and volumised finishes. They bridge the gap nicely between a super-short hairstyle that can get quite boring quite quickly, and a distinctly longer hairstyle that can become frustrating to either grow or maintain. Generally cut to mid length, curtains look great on guys with squarer or more oval-shaped faces and jawlines. This is no longer a look to try and simply recreate, but instead put your own stamp on. Skip ahead to today and middle-parted hairstyles are back but with more creative flair. They shot to fame within indie and pop music scenes and reached their peak mainstream appeal via David Beckham, whose influence on men’s style was reaching unfathomable levels as the face of football, and Brylcreem. Curtains are now a synonymous with the decade. Curtain haircuts are back in a big way for men offering a welcome change-up from the short, slick and faded hairstyles that have been in high demand for the last decade or so.Ĭentre-parted haircuts date back to the Edwardian era and have generally been worn in a straighter, more one-dimensional style – even through to the 90s when this look completely blew up. ![]() With the hair dryer in one hand and the brush in the other, brush through your hair, following its natural direction (from the top, downwards) to avoid frizz.As the 90s style revival continues to influence a fresh, streetwear-adorned and TikTok-obsessed generation, we’re not just seeing trousers getting baggier around the sides. Set your hair dryer to a medium heat setting and direct it as close to your hair as possible to keep the look smooth. ![]() Once you have done this, you can either let your hair air dry in this shape or if you feel like it won’t hold, use a blow dryer. Step 2. Take a comb and figure out where you want your middle parting to fall. As this look is frizz-free, it’s important to use a hair product that can help you achieve that. On damp hair, work through some hair oil to make your tresses smooth. If you do, read on to learn how to create a curtains hairstyle. If it isn’t, you might need to grow out your hair a little longer. To get this look your hair needs to be medium or long at the top, essentially the fronts of your hair should be touching your top lip.

The two most popular foxes you’ll often see planted on consumer goods are the Arctic and common red fox. When you’re working with that many cultures and languages, it’s easy to see some confusion. Are you confused yet? Us, too! Foxes live on every continent but Antarctica. There are twelve species of “true foxes,” including the red fox, which further breaks down into almost 50 “sub-species.” A few dozen species of animals are sometimes referred to as foxes, but not always. Just like dogs, foxes come in many different breeds or species and even sub-species. You might have noticed that foxes don’t all look very similar at all. The fox might be the ultimate “helicopter mom.” What are the different fox species? Once the babies are born, the mama fox keeps them close in the den for a little more than half a year before she lets them venture out. ![]() Mama foxes give birth to litters that can range anywhere from one to 11 fox pups at a time. Do foxes have whiskers?Īnother way foxes are like cats? They have whiskers, and not just on their faces! Foxes also have whiskers on their tails that help them with directions. Perhaps their most cat-like trait, though, are their vertical pupils, which help them see better at night when they hunt. Some foxes, like the grey fox, can even retract their claws like cats. While a family of foxes is called a “skulk,” you’re still much more likely to see a lone fox hunting than an entire group, like you would with canines. For instance, foxes are almost entirely solitary, like a cat. While foxes might be most closely related to dogs or coyotes, they’re much more like cats. Have you ever seen of video of a fox chatting happily (or sassily) with its human friend? Foxes have a pretty significant “vocabulary.” They use around 40 different sounds to communicate their needs, concerns, and moods. The father fox will hunt for the whole family, typically at dusk or night. A fox family typically lives in the same den throughout a mama fox’s pregnancy and while the babies are still tiny. Even bears enjoy snacking on foxes, so it’s vital they stay hidden. Living underground best protects them from natural predators, like coyotes or wolves. Nearly all fox species live in dens that they dug out of the Earth. Lucky for you, we were curious about them, too.įascinating Fox Facts Where do foxes live? Before you profess your love for foxes, perhaps you should acquire a bit more information about the animal. Foxes live on nearly every continent globally, but all fox species are different - and excellent at hiding. They call tricksters “sly as a fox” for a reason, after all. From their shocking orange-red fur to the ear-catching chattering, foxes are just plain hard to ignore.īut, how much do you really know about them? While fox caricatures can be found on nearly every customizable merch in America, the actual animal is pretty elusive. There’s even a whole section of TikTok, which we’ll call “FoxTok,” full of videos of both wild and semi-domesticated foxes. These adorable cat-like woodland creatures are just too cute to ignore. You can get fox-eared berets and even fox-faced purses. (We boast an impressive collection of coloring pages for each of those animals, by the way!) Foxes adorn everything from super clothes for adults to woodsy onesies for babes. These days, they’re right up there with mythical unicorns, majestic and rare narwhals, and even llamas. Foxes have quickly become quite the animal du jour in pop culture. |
