If the value of the property is set to True, then the lines will be visible else not. It decides the visibility of the lines which can be set to the logical value True or False. In the above two examples, we can see that the width of the line changes as we change the values of the property of Line Width. To show the line width property of the line plot. The width should be numerical in nature and it is given in the form if length unit mm. However, lifestyle cannot be used on changing the line width of the axes and different grid lines. They are used to change the width of various line objects like surface parameter lines, arrows, different curves in two dimensional and three dimensional, etc. It is one of the property which comes under Line Style property which changes the width of the line. If no color function is given, then Line Color Type is ‘Flat’ by default. Functional Color Type: Here both the properties LineColor and Linecolor2 are not taken into consideration and the coloring scheme is obtained from LineColor Function.The effect is in the form of a rainbow effect. Rainbow Color Type: This is similar to the Dichromatic Line Color Type but the effect which will be a resultant is completely different than that of the Dichromatic Line Color Type since the linear interpolation of the points take place is HSV color space.Flat Line Color Type: There is no mixture of any blend and the line is drawn with the help of property LineColor.Monochrome Line Color Type: Here the coloring is a mixture of various blends starting from Line-color to the dimmed part of Line-color property.The other points present in the line is plotted by taking the linear interpolation in the RGB color scheme. The highest point of the line is decided by using the LineColor property while the lowest point is defined using the Linecolor2 property.

Not only but also transfer someone's emotion to another gem or organic being. Pathokinesis: He can feel, change, control and manipulate the emotions and feelings of everyone that is around him. Depending the situation, he can have more control of his articulation and be more malleable to move, almost popping all his veins. Myokinesis: He can control the size of his mass and muscles, making him harder to make a damage, highly increasing his strength and stamina.Gem location: Upper back (Black Opal) and navel (Glaucodot) Nickname: RO, Hammer/ Big guy (Lazulite) or Dear (Spinel). Name: Rainbow Obsidian (Black Opal + Glaucodot) I recommend check out the original art and XombieJunky himself too: I predict I'll post a lot about Rainbow Obsidian here in my DA. And it remains uncertain if she was corrupted, to begin with since she was trapped within the Pyramid.First things first: Thanks so much for XombieJunky for this design! It's perfect, it's handsome and I must confess he got me with these arms ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).Albite's whereabouts are unknown beyond the "Serious Steven" chapter if she was cured of corruption and also if she was redeemed in Age III when Homeworld went with democracy and the Diamonds renounced all their power.Albite appears to be based on African and Hindu culture due to its muted gray, brown, and black colors among other things.It is implied that she was defeated by Rose Quartz using Hessonite's Prism.They could have also been brought to Earth to help layout traps to stop any rebel gems from advancing.This is clearer when we see the hands of humans asking for help on the mural.It seems that Albite was a gem of high status and belonged to the White Diamond court due to its color, it also seems that she went to earth on White Diamond's orders to collect humans for the Zoo or to fight in the war.Before the artbook Steven Universe: End of an Era came out, many speculated that the gem on the mural was White Diamond, due to its resemblance to the mural that appeared on the moon base in the chapter "It Could've Been Great".Albite has her head and arms separated from her body but she can keep them anyway, she has spiky hair like White Diamond, her legs are pointed and wide and she has no feet, her face looks a lot like an African or Hindu mask, it has a diamond-shaped gem on its chest and its colors are generally white with grayish, black and muted brown tones. Thanks to the designs in the Steven Universe: End of an Era art book, we see the Albite or Obelisk design already uncorrupted. The gemstone is a table cut Albite.įace 2 of the Obelisk, otherwise known as her "Frowning Face". The hands are designed to look like they are holding a gemstone that is embedded in the "chest" of the Obelisk. The Obelisk's body has an abstract pattern on it that resembles a humanoid. The bottom pyramid is divided into two pieces and has a triangular pattern on it. Three of the faces appear to be frowning while the fourth one seems to be smiling. The top pyramid appears to have a face on each triangular side. The Obelisk is a large, upright rectangular prism with pyramids floating off of both ends. After the gem is removed, it glows yellow, the pyramids and the Obelisk retreat into the gemstone, and the temple explodes.įace 1 of the Obelisk, otherwise known as her "Happy Face". The gem flashes yellow before falling to the floor with Steven. However, he is not able to remove it until the Obelisk's smiling face turns towards him. Steven is thrown by Garnet to the Obelisk to remove the gemstone. They discover that the gemstone in the Obelisk is powering the mechanism in the temple that trapped them in never-ending rooms. The Crystal Gems find the Obelisk in a room filled with small spinning pyramids. At some point during the war Albite had a fight with Rose Quartz and her army, she was defeated and placed in the Obelisk in the center of the inverted pyramid, already at the end of the war she allegedly became corrupted and stayed in the temple of the piramid. Not much is known about Albite's past before the series, although thanks to the mural in the pyramid where she is found, it seems that it was a gem of high status, she was at some point sent to earth for unknown reasons (Possibly for fight or to bring Humans to the Zoo as shown in the mural with the hands of some humans asking for help).

PI3K, composed of one catalytic (p110) domain and one regulatory (p85), can be activated by G-protein coupled receptor, RTK, IGF-R, and B-cell. Here we report a comprehensive PI3K/AKT/mTOR network that represents the intricate crosstalk between compensatory pathways, which can be utilized to study the AKT signalling mechanism in detail and improve the personalized combinatorial therapeutic strategies. The activation process of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Limited clinical success of the available targeted therapeutic agents and challenges mediated by tumour heterogeneity across different cancer types emphasize the importance of alterations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in the design of effective personalized treatment strategies. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is regulated by a wide-range of upstream signalling proteins and it regulates many downstream effectors by collaborating with various compensatory signalling pathways, primarily with RAF/MEK/ERK pathway. There are several factors that ultimately result in resistance to PI3K inhibitors including (1) inactivation or loss of PTEN activity, (2) mutations and amplification of PI3K, (3) drug-related toxicities, (4) feedback upregulation leading to compensatory. PI3K signaling is deregulated in a variety of cancers. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signalling pathway is hyperactivated or altered in many cancer types and regulates a broad range of cellular processes including survival, proliferation, growth, metabolism, angiogenesis and metastasis. Signaling Molecules and Factors Contributing to PI3K Inhibitor Resistance. The Nikon 16-35mm f/4 is slower in terms of aperture but costs and weighs significantly less. If the cost and weight of the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 are too much for you to swallow-not to mention this lens is now over a decade old and counting-there are some interesting alternatives below. In addition, we love the focal length range: many camera manufacturers go for a 16-35mm as their top wide-angle zoom, which doesn’t go as wide as this Nikon and has crossover with the 24-70mm f/2.8, our top pick. It’s exceptionally sharp, autofocus is fast and accurate, and the f/2.8 maximum aperture is impressive for a lens of this type. What we don’t: Heavy and no vibration reduction.įor professionals and discerning enthusiasts, the 14-24mm f/2.8 is Nikon’s top wide-angle zoom. What we like: Nikon's top wide-angle zoom. We love the speed of the f/1.4 and the unique photos that it can produce, but both are excellent lenses. For those looking to save, Nikon’s 50mm f/1.8G below is slower in terms of aperture but less than half the price. But these are small gripes about an otherwise outstanding lens, which can do everything from portraits to travel and street photography. And there is a decent amount of plastic in the build, which on the flip side, does help keep cost and weight down. What are the shortcomings of this lens? It has some barrel distortion that can be noticeable when shooting straight lines, which is an uncommon trait on Nikkor primes. At around $450, it’s a no-brainer in our book. Compared to other f/1.4 prime lenses like the Sigma 50mm Art, the Nikon is cheaper and lighter at less than 10 ounces. And the 50mm f/1.4G happens to be one of Nikon’s top prime lenses: it’s sharp, performs extremely well in low light, has fast and accurate autofocus in most circumstances, and impressive bokeh. What we don’t: Some barrel distortion, although it’s certainly not a deal breaker.įor just about any type of photography or camera, a quality 50mm lens makes a whole lot of sense. What we like: Excellent low light performance and creamy bokeh. We think both are excellent lenses and the choice probably should come down to whether or not you want VR. Some people, however, have argued that there was a slight drop in center sharpness on the E, not to mention it’s heavier and more expensive by about $600. The newer “E” version was released in 2015, including all-important vibration reduction and improved sharpness around the edges. The older “G” version of this lens (described below) originally was released in 2007 and is known for being tack sharp, particularly in the center of the image. For everything from travel photography to portraits, the 24-70mm f/2.8 can replace a handful of specialty prime lenses without much of a drop-off in image quality.įor background, there has been much discussion over which Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 version is best. We also like the sturdy metal build, which adds weight to the lens but makes you feel like you will own it for many years to come (provided you take good care of it, of course). It’s extremely sharp across its zoom range, focuses quickly and accurately, and has minimal distortion. What we don’t: Some people think the "E" is slightly less sharp at the center than the older “G” version.įor a super versatile FX lens that produces professional-grade images, the 24-70mm f/2.8E is one of the most popular options in Nikon’s full-frame lineup. What we like: Adds vibration reduction to an already exceptional lens. For more background, see our lens comparison table and buying advice below the picks. That means you’ll find some nice budget lenses on this list like the 50mm f/1.8 and telephoto 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 that make full-frame photography much more accessible. Below are 10 of the best FX lens models from wide angle and portrait to telephoto, along with 7 more that just missed the cut. We’ve included both zoom and prime lenses, and instead of picking only the most expensive pro-level options, we’ve taken value into consideration as well. Nikon’s full-frame camera lineup is impressive, but perhaps even more so is the extensive collection of FX-format (full frame) lenses. On the other hand, using git submodule forces you to refer to a specific git hash, and that can't be subverted. That's where the attack comes, you are trusting this package to be the one you mean. The local package manager fetches data from an external repository and gets the specified number or the latest matching the version pseudo regular expression. Package managers keep references to external packages through a textual version requirement number, usually in the form of a string like 2.3.4 or 2.*/ 2.+ (which are even worse from a security point of view because not even you are sure what you will get from the dependency!). Using git submodule doesn't offer any protection against malicious developers uploading libraries with hidden malicious behavior, but it can help to prevent the supplantation of an existing good package with a bad one ( unless you are capable of subverting git hashes, of course). Recently Homebrew, the so called missing package manager for macOs, suffered a supply chain attack, where people blindly trusting and downloading Homebrew packages could have gotten extra unwanted code. In the case of the npm ecosystem, malicious actors have sometimes gained access to the accounts of certain developers and uploaded malicious versions of their packages. However, this user friendliness towards developers and users is starting to catch developers unguarded of malicious intent. Rather than asking users to install dependencies one by one into their system, package managers typically allow downloading source or binary dependencies into the project, usually without requiring a system install, allowing users to build the project without administrator rights on a system (quite useful for build servers, own or rented). Package managers have thus exploded in circles where software distribution is preferably done in source code form, requiring end users to build the source or run it (in the case of interpreted languages). Package managers are more user friendly than git submodule, and the requirements to get started using one tend to be reduced to writing a simple text file and running one or at most two commands to download all the dependencies. As such, many developers are exposed to git, but not many know about submodules, a command which allows you to keep track of external sources in a secure and deterministic way. Today, software development uses some form of source content management, and it seems like git has won the war, especially since it is used by GitHub, possibly the most popular free repository choice for open source and free software. On the other hand, people mostly coming from interpreted languages are so used to the idea that not using a package manager seems like crazy advice. Why would you want to use one? It is actually not weird to have that point of view, especially if your background comes from programming languages like C or C++, which don't have any well known package manager ( even though people keep trying to build some) and developers resort to using the system libraries/packages or git submodules to manage their software builds. Package managers have always looked strange to me.

You must do this every time you install an update, because the Microsoft installer tries to restore the disabled fonts each time. If you have dynamically enabled fonts, the system font cache will appear different nearly every time that Word runs this comparison.

Social media, Reese wrote in his book, became "a disgusting stew of judgment and shame." We shielded them from the worst of it."īecause, of course, there were negative reactions. And I would say I don't think that either of them experienced any negative consequences of us telling our story. "We came to a determination that it was safe for us to tell our story, both physically and emotionally for us and for the kids. And then we really talked to the kids too about their emotional safety," Reese says. "We had to shore up our physical safety in a lot of ways. Taking their pregnancy story public, for example, was not a decision made lightly. From the beginning, he and Biff have had to make conscious choices, often surrounding the question of how to keep themselves and their family safe. "Intentional" is a word Reese uses frequently. We had to surround ourselves with people who are loving and supportive because we know what it's like to not have that, and we knew that we were going to need it no matter what, whether we had kids or not." "So the fact that we have a lot of support around us, that's not accidental - it's intentional," he says. "Biff and I, both being from really conservative small towns, we know in our bodies what it means to not have support because we lived in those worlds, we lived in those communities," Reese says. Reese and Chaplow were determined from the beginning to surround themselves with that love and support. "Kids being surrounded by love and support, and really clear boundaries, and really good role models for what it means to be a healthy, loving person who is living a life of meaning: that's what we know really contributes to kids feeling strong, safe, secure in their lives," Reese says. Having fun and going on adventures together."Īs parents, Reese and Chaplow knew what their kids needed. Instead of stressing about every minute of screen time or worrying if one of the kids skipped eating a vegetable, they realized that "what really matters is making awesome memories. "We grew so much in those five years," Reese says about the time between the adoption and Leo's birth. I won't say that we knew what we were doing, but at least we knew kids could survive our parenting." It also didn't hurt that Leo was, as Reese says, "a super chill baby." It was just a huge, huge, huge difference. "And also starting with a newborn as opposed to toddlers, because were one and three when they first came to stay with us. "Going from zero to two kids overnight is very different from going from two to three with lots of lead time," Reese says. With Leo, however, they were able to do things on their own terms. "We quite literally had to prove ourselves in very meaningful and obvious ways." And they're looking at our credit card statements, they're interviewing our doctors and bosses and touring our home, looking under our sink and double-checking the fire extinguisher in the kitchen," he says. "We had lawyers and judges, social workers and investigators. When Reese and Chaplow were going through the process of adopting Lucas and Hailey, they literally had to prove themselves as worthy, capable caregivers. That's not to say parenting didn't come with challenges. Reese utterly dismantles the argument that children cannot thrive without a mother and a father at home. While "gay trans man has a baby" is what will draw many people to this book, inside, there is much to learn about how to be a parent, a partner and a member of a supportive community. When Reese and Chaplow decided to go public with their story, media outlets clamored to tell the story of the pregnant man.Īnd now Reese is telling his own story in his memoir "How We Do Family: From Adoption to Trans Pregnancy, What We Learned about Love and LGBTQ Parenthood." Spoiler alert: this is a love story upon a love story. And in 2017, he gave birth to the couple's baby boy, Leo.Īnd this, well, blew some people's minds, for better and for worse. Reese, who was born female, carried the child. The two were still in their 20s when they adopted Chaplow's niece and nephew, who needed a stable home.īut after five years, when Lucas, now 13, and Hailey, now 10, had settled into their home and Reese and Chaplow had gotten the hang of being parents, they decided to have another child.
