Nine jurors unanimously agreed that the photos of the crash invaded her privacy and caused emotional distress. In September 2020, Vanessa had filed a federal lawsuit against the Los Angeles sheriff's and fire departments for taking, and sharing, photos of the scene of the crash that killed her husband and daughter. In August 2022, Vanessa revealed her plans to donate the $16 million damages she won in her suit against Los Angeles County to the Mamba & Mambacita Foundation.

![]() Below, one more chart from Goldsberry so you can follow along with the belt this season. ![]() Shout-out to the folks at /r/NBA again for all their hard work on this. We’ll keep charting the RSCB over the course of the season. If the Heat win, it’s conceivable that they could hold the title until their December 5 clash with the Bulls. That really makes you reconsider the Mike Dunlap era, doesn’t it?ĭoesn’t this make the Sixers-Wizards game tonight that much more interesting? It’s a championship game! And if the Wiz win, you know who their first challengers will be? The Heat. Last season, the Suns, Hornets, and Bobcats were all holders. LA Lakers have won the most NBA championships with 17 NBA titles and 32 Finals appearances. The cool thing here is that bad teams can have their moments of glory. didn’t possess the belt for the rest of the ’12-’13 season, that is until the most important day: the last one. But they held the RSCB for only a couple of days, losing to the Knicks by 20 on November 2, 2012. We all, rightly, went bananas about the Heat and their 27-game win streak last season. We asked our Kirk Goldsberry to visualize the path the NBA Regular-Season Championship Belt took last season. They are doing the lord’s work over on the Reddit thread, charting the holders of the belt back decades, so you should definitely check that out. In an act of true basketball Internet coincidence, our own Ben Detrick gave this belt a name in Thursday’s Shootaround: the Transitive Property NBA Championship (he actually called it the Transitive Logic World Champions of All Basketball, but Montepaschi Siena might have something to say about that). He played 16 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA), winning seven championships, the most of any player not to have played for the Boston Celtics of the 1950s and 1960s. Coming into this season, the Heat had it, but Miami lost to Philadelphia on Wednesday, meaning the lowly, tanked-up, Michael Carter-Williams–led Sixers were now the proud owners of the belt. Robert Horry Robert Keith Horry ( / ri / born August 25, 1970) is an American former professional basketball player and current sports commentator. ![]() Here’s some background: Over on the /r/NBA board on Reddit, a user asked who has the NBA Championship belt. It’s just king of the hill, played out over 82 games. That team holds the championship until it loses, and so on, and so on. Results by team Includes record as Minneapolis Lakers Includes record as Philadelphia and San Francisco Warriors Includes record as Syracuse Nationals Includes record as Fort Wayne Pistons Includes record as St. Whoever beats them takes the title from them. The winners of the previous season’s NBA Finals start with the title. But the Regular-Season Championship Belt (RSCB) changes that. The Regular-Season NBA Champs.įor as much as we love the NBA - and we love the NBA - there are stretches of the regular season that can feel inconsequential. We don’t engage in that kind of propaganda. This isn’t some crazy, premature, homerific Philly sports rant, people. You see that flag, billowing in the darkness up there? That’s the flag of champions. Here is the complete NBA Championship Winners and Runners-up list from inception: Which team has won the most NBA championships LA Lakers have won the most NBA championships. I've constructed all sorts of filters from CMOS inverters and after a while the outcome becomes pretty predictable - they all sound like the 'real thing' just not as good! I found SVFs to be the same. It's not really a question of high Q, just 'higher'. That's probably what you were looking for, wasn't it? One of the things that has never been discussed, and I'm wondering if it is possible, is some sort of mod to the clock/switching circuit that would permit either:ī) LFO modulation as is found in the MXR/Dunlop Auto-QĬ) alternate envelope shapes like exponential rise Based on build reports, though, you're probably looking at something like a 50k pot with fixed resistors on each end to accomplish the same overall current going to the invertors in the HF clock. ![]() This could probably even provide fodder for a mod than included a tuning pot in addition to overall range-switching. If you've ever A/B'd a Doctor Q (or clone) and an MXR-EF you will immediately notice how fairly ripple free the EF is, even at faster settings.Ħ) As some build reports on Tonepad have suggested, R14 and R16 form a voltage divider that feeds a bias voltage in to more or less set the initial sweep point. That seems to get around a lot of the envelope-ripple issues that arise when one doesn't use something like an LDR to smooth things out. IC2E acts as a kind of lag generator permitting the envelope signal to be as fast as it is, or slower rise time than it is. On the other hand, one of the things that the EF does differently than other filters is that it extracts the envelope signal and then applies additional filtering to *that*., which may be a big part of what produces the (to my ears) extremely pleasing envelope control on this unit. Faster decay times should be feasible by reducing its value, and longer attack and decay times would be feasible by increasing the value of C9 itself. I'm speculating that varying R11 would permit one to play with the sensitivity range a bit for those instances where pickups or playing style seem not to evoke much sweep.ĥ) R17 (1meg) sets the decay time of the envelope signal by providing a path for C9 to discharge. I wonder if it is possible to introduce emphasis for BOTH filter sections for super resonant filter sweeps or even to play with that loop.Ĥ) Presumably, IC1d fills the same general role that one of the op-amps plays in the Doctor Quack, providing high gain for the audio signal to yield a reasonable envelope signal. There IS an overall feedback loop through R12 from the second filter section (IC1f) to the input section (IC1c). I find this interesting since the two filter sections really are in series. He has, however, corrected that from what I understand, but I have not seen it yet.ģ) The resonance/emphasis mod essentially applies variable feedback around the first filter stage. This also has an impact on the effect of the resonance control. Consequently, earlier A-Gua layouts produce a less obvious range-shift by only doing so on one, rather than two filter sections. For whatever reasons, Fransisco misunderstood and thought this only meant one invertor rather than both. The range of the filter is partly determined by the cap in the feedback loop of the invertor. Each switch section acts like a variable resistor in a manner sort of like the LDRs in a Mutron, except that these are not LDRs and they produce a changing resistance based on how much time they spend being maximum off resistance. Conceivably this is due to some blending of straight signal in the output via R12. I'm still perplexed by just what sort of filter these make, since they look like they ought to be lowpass but sound like they are bandpass in many respects. It is this feature that permits Steve Giles' clever and simple mod for reverse sweep by using the "leftover" invertor section.Ģ) There are two cascaded filter sections, formed by IC1e/f. ![]() The envelope follower voltage varies the mark/space ratio such that the amount of "on" time, relative to "off" time changes with picking strength. The clock is constantly switching the CD4066 on and off at a constant ultra-sonic rate. ![]() There is no thorough analysis presently, although it works pretty much the way any other envelope-controlled filter would with only a few small differences.ġ) There is an envelope follower (you can spot the traditional diode+cap confuguration with D2/C9 in the Tonepad layout) but it controls a high-frequency clock formed by IC2A/B/C/D rather than directly controlling some element like an FET, transistor, OTA, or LED. ![]() Desktop video capture The video editor features a desktop video capture utility that saves captured footage to a video file for subsequent processing in the editor. It has some basic features for editing videos: removing unneeded segments, splitting your video into parts, and merging several files into one. Video File Converter The application is designed to quickly convert video files from one format to another. Built-in DVD burning tool The editor comes with a DVD burning tool, allowing you to easily burn the results of your work to optical discs. ![]() ![]() Creation of videos for specific multimedia devices Thanks to a large set of preconfigured profiles, you can easily create videos for most popular multimedia devices, such as DVD players, iPod/iPhone/iPad, PSP, any smartphones and regular phones, Sony PlayStation, Xbox, Zune, Archos, iRiver, Creative Zen, Blackberry, MP4 players and many others. That is why you won’t need any additional conversion tools to edit your files, as is often the case with other programs. Support of popular formats Our software supports virtually all video, image and audio formats and codecs. Subpixel accuracy Objects in a scene are positioned with subpixel accuracy, which makes for smooth animation, rotation, transformation, and precise relative positioning. ![]() One of the most common reasons for masking is to blur or pixelize a face to protect the identity or make a Video Inside a Text effect. You can use it to apply special effects inside or outside the masked area. Masking VSDC Free Video Editor allows for creating different shaped masks for hiding, blurring or highlighting certain elements in your video. Newbies or those, who would like to save time, can benefit from stylish Instagram-like filters applied in one click. Using a wide array of adjustable parameters, you can attach a unique professional style to your video. Blending modes and Instagram-like filters One more way of changing the look of your video image according to your preferences is color blending. Since the number of available visual effects is very high, they are split into five categories for ease of navigation: color correction, object transformation, object filters, transition effects, and special fx. Visual and audio effects Various visual and audio effects can be applied to videos to achieve the necessary result. Besides, various parameters, shape, and position of objects can change arbitrarily over time. This means that unlike in most other editors, where scenes come one after another in a linear sequence and certain order, this software allows objects to be placed in any position on the timeline and have any size.

If I could “tune” the ABS to activate farther down the pedal as to only kick in during panic stops, that would probably work as well.” “I have done my homework, and I wish to safely disable ABS on my vehicle. I just dont (sic) like the jeep deciding how my brake is going to work,” a CarTalk Forum user wrote. “Ive (sic) been driving on ice for over a month and another 2-3 month to go. “And in cases of limited traction such as snow, ice, and mud – ABS is actually detrimental to your safety, as it significantly (and needlessly) increases stopping distance.” ( Emphasis theirs.) ![]() The origins of the rumor are relatively easy to find: “Did you know that your car’s ABS system actually makes driving in snow WORSE?!
