![]() Our Global Head of Music, Lyor Cohen, recently spoke with Bloomberg about why Shorts have become so critical for artist development. I wouldn’t be experiencing this level of success without YouTube Shorts, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.” Having the ability to combine short-form content on YouTube Shorts with long-form video has been a game changer for me and has helped me reach so many new fans with my music. “I have looked up to musicians on YouTube since I was 13, and the moment I reached the 1 million+ subscriber milestone on my own channel was a moment I'll never forget. On his experience using Shorts, JVKE said: With a mixture of DIY performances, collaborations and intimate Shorts showcasing his creative process and personal life, rising star JVKE has added 1.4 million subscribers to his official Artist channel thanks to Shorts since January. Emerging artists like JVKE and EMELINE and global superstars like BTS, The Weeknd, Post Malone and Halsey are proving that Shorts can build REAL connections with fans around the world. We’re passionate about working with artists at every phase of their career and helping them build their global fan bases from the very start. ![]() But now, we have all of those PLUS Shorts. ![]() Music on YouTube reaches users through official music videos, our music streaming app, user-generated content, livestreams, live performances, lyric videos, community posts and more. Shorts are redefining the reach of music on YouTube: In April of this year, Shorts containing content sampled from long-form videos generated over 100 billion views. Shorts are developing careers: Official artist channels uploading both Shorts and long-form video are seeing better overall watch time and subscriber growth relative to those only uploading long-form. Shorts are exploding on YouTube: Shorts are generating 30 billion views per day, up 400% from 1 year ago, with 1.5 BILLION monthly logged in users consuming Shorts. While we still have work to do-and will continue to optimize Shorts for ALL artists-we want to celebrate our progress thus far and showcase how Shorts are reaching more people now than ever before. One year after the global launch of Shorts, YouTube has now become a place where music and long-form videos thrive together with short-form content. ![]() Back in April, he vowed on The Breakfast Club that he was going to stop doing media interviews….Hosted the popular BET series 106 & Park and landed a role on the latest addition to the CSI family, CSI: Cyber on CBS.Found his way into America’s hearts with the release of his debut album Beware of the Dog and became the youngest solo rapper to ever hit No. ![]() The O.G.’sīow Wow ties: Discovered by Jermaine Dupri at age 5.

These secondary cast members appear in green screen confessional segments and (for the most part) have the same amount of screen time and storyline focus as the show's main cast members. The show features a sprawling supporting cast, with 63 people credited as "additional cast" or "featured" in the show's end credits. Over ten seasons, 23 people have appeared in the opening credits as leading cast members. Subsequent seasons expanded to include DJs and radio personalities, stylists, video vixens, glamour models, groupies and socialites. The first season focuses on the personal and professional struggles of six women, two of which are known as girlfriends of famous R&B artists and rappers, and the other four are aspiring recording artists. Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is a "docu-soap" that revolves around the everyday lives of women and men in hip hop's "dirty south". ![]() Instead of following in their mothers’ footsteps and settling down in the suburbs, young women felt empowered to increase their economic and social independence, enjoy sex before marriage, pursue fulfilling careers outside the home, and wear skirts above the knee. Throughout the women’s liberation movement, the heightening of women’s hemlines directly correlated with their increasing sexual freedom. Hands down, the single most important trend in 60s women’s fashion was the introduction of the mini skirt. So to celebrate the pivotal decade in women’s fashion, we’ve dug through the archives and rounded up some iconic pics of Twiggy wearing the biggest 60s fashion trends. ![]() Truly, no one embodied the zeitgeist ( wink, wink) of 60s style quite like Twiggy. In April 1967 she graced the cover of American Vogue, gaining international recognition and securing her status as one of the biggest influences on 1960s fashion. She was soon declared “The Face of ’66” by The Daily Express and voted British Woman of the Year. In 1966, de Villeneuve launched Twiggy’s career by giving her one of the most famous haircuts of all time, her iconic blonde pixie cut. ![]() Unlike the bombshell blondes and glamour models of the 50s, Twiggy’s lanky body and girlish charm embodied the young, sexually liberated “Single Girl” that emerged from the feminist and youth movements of the 60s. Her boyish pixie cut, trend-setting mod style, and infamous eyelashes made her one of the most recognizable faces of the era and paved the way for the future Kate Mosses and Linda Evangelistas of the world.īorn Lesley Hornby, Twiggy earned her nickname from her hairdresser and soon-to-be-boyfriend Nigel Davies (later known as Justin de Villeneuve), who dubbed her “Twigs” because of her waif-like frame. While there were many notable fashion icons of the 60s (Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Brigitte Bardot, and Jane Birkin, just to name a few), no one personified the decade quite like British supermodel Twiggy. From the Space Age to Woodstock hippies to the Youthquake to the British Invasion, 60s fashion trends directly correlated with social movements of the time.ĭuring the 60s, there were four overarching trends in women’s fashion: a continuation of the ladylike styles from the previous decade, the emergence of the Youthquake movement and It-Girls like Mary Quant and Twiggy, the growing influence of technology and the Space Age, and the hippie style that came to dominate the late 60s. The 1960s was a pivotal decade in modern women’s fashion. ![]() The text for adding LoRA to the prompt,, is only used to enable LoRA, and is erased from prompt afterwards, so you can't do tricks with prompt editing like. LoRA cannot be added to the negative prompt. ![]() LoRA is added to the prompt by putting the following text into any location:, where filename is the name of file with LoRA on disk, excluding extension, and multiplier is a number, generally from 0 to 1, that lets you choose how strongly LoRA will affect the output. Support for LoRA is built-in into the Web UI, but there is an extension with original implementation by kohya-ss.Ĭurrently, LoRA networks for Stable Diffusion 2.0+ models are not supported by Web UI. ![]() A good way to train LoRA is to use kohya-ss.

Most of img2img implementation is by the same person. Previously an extension by a contributor was required to generate pictures: it's no longer required, but should still work. ![]() The checkpoint is fully supported in img2img tab. Normally you would do this with denoising strength set to 1.0, since you don't actually want the normal img2img behaviour to have any influence on the generated image. It works in the same way as the current support for the SD2.0 depth model, in that you run it from the img2img tab, it extracts information from the input image (in this case, CLIP or OpenCLIP embeddings), and feeds those into the model in addition to the text prompt. Support for stable-diffusion-2-1-unclip checkpoints that are used for generating image variations. As of version 1.6.0, this is now implemented in the webui natively.

Therefore, viscosity of a particular fluid changes as temperature is increased or decreased.Lefebvre Arthur H., Some Recent Developments in Twin-Fluid Atomization, Particle & Particle Systems Characterization, 13, 3, 1996. ![]() When removed from the refrigerator, it will flow very slowly, and with a few seconds in the microwave, it will flow much more easily, and swiftly. It will flow, slowly, in response to the force of gravity. Take for example, honey, which is fairly viscous. Temperature also affects viscosity because at higher temperatures the mass of the fluid can be reduced or thinned. This is why selecting the right nozzle can make all the difference in spray performance. Fluids with a high viscosity, like oil, can reduce the spray angle and flow rate, which can result in poor spray coverage. The nozzle to the left is spraying water and on the right oil with an approximate viscosity of 111 cP. In the photos shown below, the same nozzle is used to compare two different fluids and viscosities being sprayed. If the viscosity is great enough, a nozzle may produce a mass of filaments instead of a spray. Liquid viscosity resists surface formation.

I am hoping that with enough signatures, Good Humor will see how popular their Toasted Almond bar is and bring it back.Preheat oven to 300 degrees. "This flavor is a favorite among many, including my 91-year old mother. ![]() Many have said that due to the lack of stock in stores, this helped perpetuate that thought," Regan writes in the petition's description. "Good Humor made the poor decision of discontinuing their Toasted Almond bar stating it was 'less popular across the country'. 12, 2022, the petition was launched: " Bring the Good Humor Toasted Almond Bar Back," by Tammy Regan. no pressure !" tweeted someone else, rather ominously.Īnd then, on Sept. "hi there good humor! i think this is possibly the worst decision youve ever made :) kindly bring them back and i promise to single handedly make it worth the investment <3 if not then i can guarantee ur business will continue to decline severely from this point on. "Please bring them back!!! This was the favorite flavor among many! I grew up eating these with my dad, we need them back!!" wrote another Twitter user, who seems to have had a similar childhood to mine. "Chocolate Éclair and Strawberry Shortcake were favored by some, but nothing in life was better than that guy in the white hat and uniform reaching through that tiny door in the side of the truck and magically extracting that perfect Toasted Almond on a wooden stick."Īnd he's not alone: Many on social media have echoed his frosty feelings. The ringing of bells in my childhood neighborhood always heralded that Good Humor Toasted Almond was at hand," he tells me over text. I got a SpongeBob Popsicle or Choco Taco (RIP!) every now and again, but usually, the sound of the ice cream truck meant it was "Toasted Almond Time." We bonded over our shared love of Toasted Almond every summer when the ice cream truck came down our street. The first person I had to tell was my dad, who first introduced me to the unique treat in the ‘90s when I was a kid, and had eaten it as a kid, too. After more than 60 years of its glorious existence, Toasted Almond is no more.įor a quick bit of cake-coated history, by 1961, when Unilever purchased Good Humor, its product line had grown to 85 flavors or combinations, including Toasted Almond, Strawberry Shortcake and Chocolate Éclair, and then, in 1992, the company relaunched those three classic offerings. We apologize to our customers that may be disappointed by this news, and while we do not have a current plan to bring back this product, we are excited to continue offering our customers a wide variety of treats available in stores and ice cream trucks." Due to this, we had to discontinue the Good Humor Toasted Almond bars in 2022. A necessary but unfortunate part of this is that we sometimes must discontinue products in order to ensure we can offer customers the best variety of treats nationwide.

![]() The player guides this simple microbe around in a 3D environment on a single 2D plane, reminiscent of Flow, where it must deal with fluid dynamics and predators, while eating meat chunks or plants. The Cell Stage (sometimes referred to as the tide pool, cellular, or microbial stage) is the very first stage in the game, and begins with a cinematic explanation of how the player's cell got onto the planet through the scientific concept of panspermia, with a meteor crashing into the ocean of a planet and breaking apart, revealing a single-celled organism. Once the primary objective is completed, the player has the option to advance to the next stage, or continue playing the current stage. The five stages are the Cell Stage, the Creature Stage, the Tribal Stage, the Civilization Stage, and the Space Stage. Spore is a game that is separated into stages, each stage presenting a different type of experience with different goals to achieve. Characteristics determine how the creature will start the next phase and give it abilities that can be used later in the game. Each phase has three consequence traits, usually based on how aggressively or peacefully the phase was played. At the end of each phase, the player's actions cause their creature to be assigned a characteristic, or consequence trait. Note that there is no time limit for any stage: the player may stay in a single stage as long as they wish, and progress to the next stage when ready. The first four phases of the game, if the player uses the editors only minimally, will take up to 15 hours to complete, but can take as little as one or two hours. However, the player may continue to play after any goal has been achieved. Unlike many other Maxis games, Spore has a primary win condition, which is obtained by reaching a supermassive black hole placed at the center of the galaxy and receiving a "Staff of Life". If all of a player's creations are completely destroyed at some point, the species will be respawned at its nearest colony or at the beginning of the phase. Phases often feature optional missions when the player completes a mission, they are granted a bonus, such as a new ability or money. Each phase exhibits its own style of play, and has been described by the developers as ten times more complicated than its preceding phase. The outcome of one phase affects the initial conditions and leveling facing the player in the next. ![]() The game is broken up into distinct "stages". Throughout the game, the player's perspective and species change dramatically. Spore allows the player to develop a species from a microscopic organism to its evolution into a complex animal, its emergence as a social, intelligent being, to its mastery of the planet and then finally to its ascension into space, where it interacts with alien species across the galaxy. Controversy surrounded Spore due to the inclusion of SecuROM, and its digital rights management software, which can potentially open the user's computer to security risks. However, Spore was criticized for its gameplay which was seen as shallow by many reviewers GameSpot remarked: "Individual gameplay elements are extremely simple". Praise was given for the fact that the game allowed players to create customized creatures, vehicles and buildings. Spore was released after several delays to generally favorable reviews. These are then automatically uploaded to the online Sporepedia and are accessible by other players for download. Throughout each stage, players are able to use various creators to produce content for their games. It has drawn wide attention for its massive scope, and its use of open-ended gameplay and procedural generation. Covering many genres including action, real-time strategy, and role-playing games, Spore allows a player to control the development of a species from its beginnings as a microscopic organism, through development as an intelligent and social creature, to interstellar exploration as a spacefaring culture. Spore is a 2008 life simulation real-time strategy God game developed by Maxis, published by Electronic Arts and designed by Will Wright, and was released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. ![]() They’re gonna know - is much, much larger. ![]() The post has been viewed more than 14 million times, but the reach of its exasperated exchange - Nobody’s gonna know. What he came up with - a mocking take on his conflicted inner dialogue - is now cultural history. Surely he, with his performance background, could be among them. TikTok had given so many users their 15 minutes of fame. A few of Gleason’s posts - him dancing to the “Law & Order” theme, a skit about clueless restaurant patrons - had gone modestly viral in the past, and he was intrigued by the possibility of making a megahit. That month, in the early days of the pandemic, American adults spent well over a billion hours on the platform, which had become the most downloaded nongame app in the world. In the interim, he recorded two or three videos a day, writing scripts and editing the footage on his phone. When Covid-19 temporarily shuttered indoor dining, he quit and moved back home before attending business school. ![]() Just before graduating from college with a musical-theater degree in 2019, he took a job at a nautical-themed restaurant in the Washington, D.C., area, where he served oysters and cocktails with names like Boston Tea Party and Blown Off Course.
