Her singing career ended up in the shadow of her sister Aretha, and Janis Joplin’s cover of her biggest song completely overshadowed her original version. So, despite a wealth of talent, Erma Franklin could never catch the big break. The song then became a psychedelic-rock classic, and the cover artist turned out to be a singing sensation whose tragic death turns her into an iconic figure. That film won the 2014 Academy Award for Best Documentary.Īnd the great song recorded by Erma Franklin? It somehow languished in the pop charts, until it was covered by some white chick from Texas. This was beautifully depicted in the 2013 documentary 20 Feet From Stardom, which interviewed a number of backup singers and talked with them about their experiences. In some cases it would appear that the backup singers are more talented than the “stars,” but just never get the big break so essential for success. In fact, a number of incredibly talented pop singers have never managed to crack the big time, instead becoming backups for others. Now, Erma Franklin’s story is not unique.

Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible.Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions.Special 95% discount 2000+ Applied Machine Learning & Data Science Recipes Portfolio Projects for Aspiring Data Scientists: Tabular Text & Image Data Analytics as well as Time Series Forecasting in Python & R for load balancing and interrupt handling in an operating system.Some of the applications of a priority queue are: Print( "After deleting an element: " + str(arr)) * Function to delete an element from the tree */ def deleteNode (array, num):Īrray, array = array, arrayįor i in range((len(array) // 2) - 1, -1, -1): * Function to insert an element into the tree */ def insert (array, newNum): * Swap and continue heapifying if root is not largest */ if largest != i:Īrr, arr = arr, arr * Priority Queue implementation in Python */ /* Function to heapify the tree */ def heapify (arr, n, i): /* Find the largest among root, left child and right child */ Extract-Max/Min from the Priority QueueĮxtract-Max returns the node with maximum value after removing it from a Max Heap whereas Extract-Min returns the node with minimum value after removing it from Min Heap. ![]() Peek operation returns the maximum element from Max Heap or minimum element from Min Heap without deleting the node.įor both Max heap and Min Heap return rootNodeĤ.

A max-heap is implement is in the following operations. Hence, we will be using the heap data structure to implement the priority queue in this tutorial. Among these data structures, heap data structure provides an efficient implementation of priority queues. Priority queue can be implemented using an array, a linked list, a heap data structure, or a binary search tree. The element with the highest priority is removed first. In a queue, the first-in-first-out rule is implemented whereas, in a priority queue, the values are removed on the basis of priority. Removing Highest Priority Elementĭifference between Priority Queue and Normal Queue In other cases, we can set priorities according to our needs. However, in other cases, we can assume the element with the lowest value as the highest priority element. Generally, the value of the element itself is considered for assigning the priority.įor example, The element with the highest value is considered as the highest priority element. If elements with the same priority occur, they are served according to their order in the queue. A priority queue is a special type of queue in which each element is associated with a priority and is served according to its priority. ![]() Stay in control With auto-extend, when you project your presentation to a second screen, your slides automatically appear on the correct screens.

Comes with Newsreader (current version V8.0 Beta available).However they don’t include a VPN option that some of the best Usenet service providers offer. That being said, we suggest looking at some alternatives from our list of the best Usenet newsreaders.Newsleecher is a Usenet service provider that has their own newsreader which is definitely an advantage. This Usenet newsreader can benefit from a lot of improvements like more advanced features, mobile device compatibility and, of course, nzb support. However, it is a big factor that Tangysoft no longer supports NZB file downloading which is a must for a lot of Usenet users. As a basic newsreader it does perform well and may be suitable for both beginner and advanced Usenet users. While Tangysoft is a pretty good newsreader, when placed side by side with more modern Usenet clients, it might not be able to compete well. Each function is clearly visible from the homescreen of the software with categories and newsgroups seen on the left side of the screen, icons on the header section and status on the main part of the interface. If you are an experienced Usenet user, you will have no problems navigating through its interface. Scheduling & AutomationĪs mentioned, Tangysoft is a very basic newsreader that does not have any modern features which may include scheduling and automated functions. To configure Tangysoft, simply go to the settings page and enter the account details of your selected Usenet service provider which also include the server address, ports and allowable connections. Compatible versions for each operating system are mentioned on their site and they have installers available for each of the mentioned systems. Tangysoft is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is also not compatible with mobile devices so there are definitely some improvements that could be made with this newsreader to modernize it. However, it does lack some more modern features that allow it to compete well with other newsreaders in the market. With its simple look and clear visuals of each function on its interface, Tangysoft is pretty easy to use. Tangysoft is a completely free Usenet newsreader. Works on multiple operating systems - Windows, Mac, Linux.Multiple languages supported - German, English, Spanish and French.Manages newsgroups - individually and via categories.Searches files and filegroups in a classic way.But you might need another alternative for NZB downloading. Tangysoft has a few features that make it a decent enough newsreader. Please note, however, that it no longer supports downloading of NZB files. Tangysoft does not have the most modern interface and the most updated features but it does its basic job well - searching for files and managing newsgroups. However, with the emergence of more advanced Usenet clients in the market, Tangysoft has lost its luster but still has some very decent features that make it a good newsreader. Originating from Hong Kong, Tangysoft was considered as one of the more popular Usenet newsreaders for a long time. ![]() The Metatron Cube: is known by the name of the "Flower of Life".The circle: symbolizes infinity and immortality, either as a cycle or of eternal love. ![]() The equilateral triangle: symbolizes balance and equality and is worn by both men and women, often in conjunction as a partner tattoo.The triangle (pointing downwards): symbolizes femininity, mothers and the moon.The triangle (apex pointing upwards): represents masculinity, attractiveness, dynamism and strength, as well as the planet Mars.The dodecahedron symbolizes spirituality.Air: the octahedron is made up of eight triangles, is a plastic figure in geometry and represents healing and compassion.Earth, represented by the cube, shows earth as a platonic body and implies stability.Water is represented by the icosahedron, which stands for change.The Elements: Fire is represented by the tetrahedron, which is made up of four triangles and is a symbol of power.Remember, the minimalist style allows each design to be unique and personalized, providing endless possibilities for self-expression and creating a lasting impression on the skin. If you're seeking a tattoo that combines simplicity with visual impact, consider the beauty of minimalism and discover how less can truly be more in the art of tattooing. Through clean lines, negative space, and a focus on the essential, minimalist tattoos succeed in conveying deep meanings with subtle elegance. Minimalism in tattoos offers a sophisticated and elegant aesthetic that shines through its simplicity and clarity. ![]() The combination of simple elements with personalized meaning allows the tattoo to become a unique and powerful expression of one's identity. Whether through symbols, letters, or small details, a minimalist tattoo can represent profound ideas and significant emotions. Negative space can also be creatively employed to represent ideas such as duality, connection, or the transition between different elements of the design.Ĭustomization and Meaning: Despite their simplicity, minimalist tattoos have great potential for customization and meaning. These empty spaces can create a sense of balance, harmony, and flow within the design. Negative space refers to the untattooed areas of skin that help define and highlight the main design. Negative Space: The Power of What's Not There: The strategic use of negative space is integral to minimalism in tattoos. These defined lines create a sharp contrast against the skin, making the design stand out and capturing attention in a subtle yet impactful way. Whether it's a single-line tattoo or a more intricate design with fine lines, the precision and perfection of the lines are paramount in this style. Visual Impact with Clean Lines: Clean and precise lines are a distinguishing feature of minimalist tattoos. From single-line tattoos to sleek geometric patterns, the beauty of minimalism lies in its ability to capture the essence of an idea with the fewest possible elements. This clean and unadorned aesthetic allows the design to speak for itself, conveying its meaning in a clear and direct manner. Minimalist tattoos center around simple lines and basic geometric shapes. The Beauty of Simplicity: Minimalism embraces the concept that less is more. In this blog post, we will explore the allure of minimalism in tattoos and how less can be more when it comes to expressing ideas and emotions through ink on the skin. Minimalist tattoos are characterized by their focus on clean lines, negative space, and simple yet striking designs.
