I really loved getting more content about Twilight, Yor and Anya and seeing how life is going for them pretending to be a family □□ There are so many cute and funny moments between them and I love the different mix of personalities- Twilight's very cold exterior, Yor's sunshiney nature and Anya's cute, childish personality. ![]() This volume continued the mission from the first book, but it's starting to move forward now, as their objective to infiltrate Eden Academy goes forward. So far this series is such a fun and entertaining time!! □□□□ I've only read 2 volumes so far, but it just makes me soo happy- I'm really glad I gave the first one a try ❤ And to no one's surprise, I'm loving Anya more than I did! I couldn't wait to see the progress between Loid and Yor next in dismantling their phony relationship now that we have someone else visiting □ Overall, this series remains entertaining and holistic to me. I believe, little by little we'll be able to note a burgeoning in their persona, seeing that we had lots of new additional characters as well. It was entertaining to see how all of them are still adjusting to fit their role in their very own way like Loid and his spy-mind and Yor with her murderous thought that left Anya baffled all the time.Īs much as there was no big leap in the character development, and some things seem to be ridiculous not to notice, this manga is still humorous as ever. My favorite would be on Anya adjusting herself at her new school, making new friends, enemies, while also trying to impress her new family. ![]() The same goes for Yor, as she started to spend more time with Anya, having a mother-daughter bond that got me gobbled up for how adorable this volume is!

This volume pivots more on Anya enrolling in her new school at Eden Academy with a relative family dynamic that I truly avail myself of this progress. Whatever angle you look at it from, this is a perfect shonen manga. Let me tell you again if you did not catch me the first time: if you enjoy political drama, spy thrillers, gorgeous action scenes, wholesome comedy, and sweet family drama, you'll love Spy x Family. Yup, we're back with the next mission and I am yet again blown away by my odd wholesome family. ![]() ![]() Once you’ve fastened the last, uppermost step in place, backfill around the staircase with well-compacted soil.

![]() You will always have to live with aliased edges where the edges meet transparent areas in Gif. In short, it is a limitation of the Gif format. The result is often a white aliased edge surrounding the graphic where the original semi-transparent anti-aliased pixels sat. And as such, when you export a semi-transparent pixel to Gif, the software must multiply that pixel with the background matte colour (which in most software can be selected during export). It is either on or off, with no in-between transparent values possible. Selecting a region changes the language and/or content on amend Nick's answer: Gif images only support 1-bit transparency. If you open an existing GIF or PNG‑8 file, it will have a custom color palette. (This palette is also called the web‑safe palette.) Using the web palette can create larger files, and is recommended only when avoiding browser dither is a high priority.Ĭustom Uses a color palette that is created or modified by the user. This option ensures that no browser dither is applied to colors when the image is displayed using 8‑bit color. Restrictive (Web) Uses the standard 216‑color color table common to the Windows and Mac OS 8‑bit (256‑color) palettes. Most images concentrate colors in particular areas of the spectrum. For example, an image with only the colors green and blue produces a color table made primarily of greens and blues. Selective is the default option.Īdaptive Creates a custom color table by sampling colors from the predominant spectrum in the image. This color table usually produces images with the greatest color integrity. Selective Creates a color table similar to the Perceptual color table, but favoring broad areas of color and the preservation of web colors. Perceptual Creates a custom color table by giving priority to colors for which the human eye has greater sensitivity.

![]() Is it really too much to consider the possibility you might want to expand this center without tearing down functional buildings and thus would have built an extensible grid. There are anchors at the end of the internal streets, foreclosing opportunities to extend the internal grid onto the surface parking. A finite space without any opportunity for discovery or serendipity, I really cannot accidentally leave the site.Parking (and transit)) far from the shops, the transit center is about 1000 feet (almost 1/4 mile) from the first store.This design has many of the worst features of a shopping mall: While there is a covered section, it is not enclosed, and thus remains cold. I do not understand the appeal of outdoor shopping in February in Minnesota. Cedar Grove Parking Garage is a few short steps (the Transit Center is farther away) The food court has a wide variety of specialty vendors A street through the center enters a covered but not climate controlled section. It would be more effective if they named the streets. Twin Cities Premium Outlets, a plaza in the snow. The site apparently has 3000 parking spaces (doesn’t look like it). The Google maps shows a fairly full surface parking lot (though the top deck of the “garage” (you know, they meant “ramp”, even though the sign says “Garage” and the map says “Deck”) was largely empty. I suppose the traffic is suppressed since this was a Sunday in February, though the stores were all open, and the temperature was above average. ![]() As the first new mall in 13 years, it represents the last gasp of traditional bricks and mortar retail before the full onslaught of online shopping decimates what is left. With a “race track” design, the expectation is users will flow through the center in a circular pattern and return where they started, shopping both sides of the “street” simultaneously. Located in Eagan, on the Red Line (Cedar Grove Station), it is just a short transit hop from the Mall of America, and a shorter drive, at the intersection of Cedar Avenue (Highway 77) and Sibley Memorial Highway (Highway 13). Aerial of Twin Cities Premiums Outlets from Google Maps. While the center has recently encountered some controversy about the atrocious treatment of black shoppers, this post is about the design (recognizing its isolating design and nature as private property may have some relationship about how shop managers and police think about the presence of others).

Pounds Professor of Energy Economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management. But, if there are cheaper ways to achieve the same objectives, policy should be designed to find them. We don’t want storage just to have storage we want services that storage providers can supply. That way, the market can make the call about the best way to integrate more renewables. Ideally, regulators should pit storage providers against pricing schemes that reward consumers for shifting their load, and any other technologies that can help shorten the duck’s neck. Given that the vast majority of households are starting from prices that do not vary at all over the course of the day, week or month, I have to believe that there’s room for improvement. Presumably, though, similar dynamic pricing schemes could incentivize consumers to shift their load to help smooth the duck graph. The problems highlighted by the duck graph are most pronounced in spring and fall months, when the sun sets before the daytime load subsides. The SmartRate was not designed to address renewables integration. As we tried to figure out how to do that, we learned that our dryer is a major part of our midday load, so we try to keep it off when prices spike. Now that we are on the SmartRate, we try to keep our electricity consumption low from 2 to 7 PM on SmartDays (roughly, the 12 hottest weekdays each summer). We paid $.31 per kWh no matter when we dried our clothes. Until my family switched to the PG&E SmartRate (inspired by Severin’s blog post), we had no incentive to run the dryer after 8PM instead of from 5 to 6PM. If we want to address the duck graph, why not set up incentives that reward behaviors and technologies that help smooth the worrisome swing in net load from 5 to 6 PM?įor example, why take load as given? In other words, why subsidize storage operators to smooth net load fluctuations before giving consumers the ability to shift their loads? ![]() What gives me pause is that the policymakers seem to be legislating a means to an end rather than the end itself. (Why the duck graph is not projected to generate very low energy prices at the duck’s belly and very high energy prices at the duck’s neck could be the subject of another post.) I am accustomed to thinking about electricity storage as an arbitrage play – capture energy in the middle of the night when prices are low, store it until the middle of the day when electricity prices typically double or even triple relative to 12 hours ago and then sell at a substantial margin.īut, regulators seem interested in storage primarily as a resource to provide the capacity necessary to address the operational issues associated with the duck graph. ![]() For example, the California Public Utilities Commission is in the process of implementing legislation requiring it to consider electricity storage procurement mandates. One answer policymakers are offering is electricity storage. If the California electricity system has significant solar capacity, what happens on a typical March weekday when the sun gets low on the horizon just as office buildings are turning on their lights? How will system operators deal with a wild swing in net load as they lose solar generation? The duck graph encapsulates the collective uncertainty about how the electricity system will operate as the state adds more and more renewables. Adding insult to injury, the duck graph swing is projected to happen in shoulder months like March or October, when total system load will be low. Currently, the largest swing system operators typically have to deal with is less than half that size. One point of concern is the duck’s long neck, representing a 14,000 MW swing in net load in a roughly one hour period from 5 to 6PM. (For an update on the duck curve, see Meredith Fowlie’s recent blog: The Duck Has Landed, May 2, 2016) The Duck Graph It depicts electricity demand net of projected renewable generation (“net load”) on a representative day in the not too distant future. An aptly named picture – the “duck graph” – is captivating the California energy policy world. ![]() |
