Since rebate sites represent hundreds of merchants, it's easy to find vendors you trust and click through to them. You can make a few extra dollars on your purchases just by changing the starting point of your search. When you buy an item, your purchases are automatically logged, and you're on your way to extra savings. Rewards sites can pay in points, cash (paid via a vehicle like PayPal) gift cards or other perks and promotions. Consumers can even earn revenue without actually buying anything. The nature of the compensation a shopper receives will vary from site to site. This is an extra layer added to the online shopping experience, but once you get into the habit of checking out your favorite rewards sites before you shop, you can save money while still buying from the familiar companies you know and trust. The whole thing is pretty slick, seamless and hassle free. If you think this bold, new world of online shopping and saving is just right for you, we'll offer up a few savvy tips on the next page.
The researchers even controlled for the effects of time zone changes and travel, like inconsistencies from jet lag, by focusing on East Coast teams playing on the same coast. So, poor-performing NBA players may need to put a curfew on their nighttime tweeting. Of course, lack of sleep can impair the best of us nonathletes -40 percent of Americans get less than the recommended seven hours of slumber, which lends itself to daytime sleepiness and poor mental and physical functioning. However, research focusing on the "real-world performance" of NBA players could help researchers and NBA staff better analyze and improve players' performance on the court. In a separate 2015 study, researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology tracked the Twitter feeds of close to 350 NBA players via social media analytics. They concluded that NBA players' tweets (24 hours pregame) predicted how they played: Positive tweets equated to better game-day play. The authors suggested coaches can benefit from using a sentiment analysis approach, observing tweets to get a sense of players' pregame emotional state, and then take measures to prevent underperformance. The NBA has a rule in place that prevents players from tweeting 45 minutes before tip-off. The iconic blue Twitterbird may have gotten its name, "Larry," from NBA Hall of Famer Larry Bird.
In the next section, we'll look more closely at the concepts of electrotactile stimulation. Electricity isn't the only type of stimulation used in high-tech sensory substitution devices. There are devices that use "vibrotactile" stimulation, among other means, to send information to the brain through an alternate sensory channel. In a vibrotactile stimulation device, encoded sensory signals are applied to the skin by one or more vibrating pins. Tactaid, an auditory substitution device, uses this type of technology. The idea is to communicate non-tactile information via electrical stimulation of the sense of touch. In practice, this typically means that an array of electrodes receiving input from a non-tactile information source (a camera, for instance) applies small, controlled, painless currents (some subjects report it feeling something like soda bubbles) to the skin at precise locations according to an encoded pattern. The encoding of the electrical pattern essentially attempts to mimic the input that would normally be received by the non-functioning sense.|Born from the ashes of cremated oxen, the legendary Hodag have roamed the northwoods of Wisconsin for more than a century, avenging abuse suffered at the hands of their masters. To use a simple definition, "cryptids" are animals whose existence is unproven. Is there, for example, a winged beast with cloven hooves and the head of a goat stalking the New Jersey Pine Barrens? Reported sightings of this so-called "Jersey Devil" go way back. It's said that Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother, encountered the thing sometime in the 19th century. Yet no corpse or live specimen has ever been documented by the scientific community. How then should we deal with cryptid claims and anecdotes? Still, whether you believe in any of these unverified creatures or not, nobody can deny their cultural significance. Some cryptids are economic powerhouses, drawing tourists to places that might otherwise get overlooked. Cryptids have also been immortalized by soap brands, Minor League Baseball teams and low-budget Disney movies.
Many Americans kept up on news from the front lines of World War II through government-mediated film-reel news updates that played in movie theaters during the war. Two decades later, when America went to war in Vietnam, the new technologies of color TV and mobile news broadcasting painted a very different picture -- one that had a major influence on the nation's sentiment about the war. TV news crews in Vietnam were equipped with relatively portable TV cameras that allowed them to go to war with the troops. For the first time, reporters could "embed" with American soldiers and quickly share their front-line experiences with the rest of the world. American viewers saw firsthand the frustration, danger and destruction their loved ones had to face in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Many protested, and the unflinching broadcasts fanned a massive antiwar movement across the country. After Vietnam, the U.S. While broadcasters lost the ability to send their news crews into the field with the freedom they had had in Vietnam, military media officials understood that American viewers would not allow a return to the propaganda and limited news of earlier wars.|YouTubers have been in an uproar over skyrocketing takedowns. Thanks to Google AdSense, anyone can post a video to YouTube and make money. That clip of your pet snail lip-synching to Rihanna might not make you a millionaire like PewDiePie. But popular YouTubers, whose videos regularly draw hundreds of thousands (sometimes millions) of views, can easily pull in six figures a year. Yes, for a growing number of people - not all of them living in their parents' basement - YouTube is a full-time job. Which makes this latest development at YouTube all the more upsetting. Some of YouTube's hardest-working content creators, including Channel Awesome (about 440,000 subscribers), I Hate Everything (630,000 subscribers) and Eli the Computer Guy (660,000 subscribers) have seen their videos arbitrarily pulled from YouTube and their AdSense accounts suspended by what they believe is a broken and unfair YouTube copyright protection system. It's against the law to post videos on YouTube that include copyright material, such as music, movies and TV shows.
Yet, as signal averaging in the acquisition process eliminates the motion direction in the captured image, this task is highly ill-posed. The pioneering work of Jin et al. Even though, since the global motion direction is lost in the acquisition, the processing stage can only assume the direction of the motion for the video reconstruction but cannot really resolve this ambiguity. Yet, these solutions do not fit with a standard optical system or require capturing multiple images. Figure 1: Method demonstration. A flower moving left captured using our dynamic phase-coded camera, which embeds (b) color-motion cues in the intermediate image. These cues guide our image-to-video reconstruction CNN, resulting in a (c) sharp video of the scene (play the video by clicking (c) in Adobe Reader). Contribution. To overcome the limitations of conventional cameras in dynamic scenes acquisition, we suggest a computational coded-imaging approach (see Figs. 1 and 2) that can be easily integrated in many conventional cameras (equipped with a focusing mechanism) by just adding a phase-mask to their lens (which is a simple process).
