![]() ![]() Jim McGrath, the city’s parks, open space and natural resource manager, said the city has been in talks with Roots Rising for several years about the project, hoping to help find the organization a permanent home. It is a complete sanctuary for Pittsfield.” “Springside is right in the heart of our city but it is 237 acres. they have that sanctuary feeling,” Piotrowski said. ![]() “What they love when they come and work with us on the farms is that they step outside of their neighborhoods, they step outside of what feels like the city. “What we heard from our young people was that they were really looking for a sanctuary feeling,” Piotrowski told the commissioners Wednesday.Īfter talking with local teens about potential sites, staff said they heard loud and clear that teens were looking for an opportunity to get outside of their own neighborhoods. The organization has a set of criteria for their landing spot: a property within the Pittsfield city limits that would be accessible to both the community and youth farmers without feeling like an overly urban space. “It’s really important to us to invest in the city that we love and to have an opportunity like that here in Pittsfield,” Vecchia said. Vecchia said it’s time to add to that model and give the intensive program and organization a more permanent home.įor the last two years, the leadership with Roots Rising has been searching for a spot within Pittsfield to create a working farm that could serve as a community center, expand the organization’s youth programs and grow fresh produce for residents all year long. The youth farmers spend the program doing “pop-up” work at several local farms that have partnered with the organization. The market runs in tandem with the organization’s youth crews - a three-season farming intensive program that puts groups of local teenagers into the thick of growing and harvesting season. ![]() It’s a proposal that’s been years in the making.įor the last 11 years, Roots Rising has run the Pittsfield Farmers Market - the county’s only year-round and youth-run farmers market. In April 2022, Roots Rising received a $430,219 food security infrastructure grant from the state Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs toward the creation of a ”youth farm.” The organization is suggesting that it use 4 acres between the American Chestnut grove and the proposed New England Mountain Bike pump track in the park to build a 2-acre field for annual crops, a quarter-acre space for perennial crops and another quarter-acre space for the creation of a “farm hub.”ĭetailed plans are still a ways off, but Vecchia and Piotrowski said they are envisioning a high-tunnel building that would allow for year-round growing, a propagation house for plant starts and a building where produce can be washed, packed and refrigerated and equipment can be stored. Vecchia and Piotrowski are hoping at their next appearance before the commission to get approval for the creation of a 4-acre farm within Springside Park. Roots Rising is a Pittsfield-based nonprofit organization focused on empowering youth and building community through food and farming. That conversation is set to continue at either the June 20 park commission meeting or following July 18 meeting, according to commissioners. Wednesday’s site visit is part two of a conversation Vecchia and Piotrowski began with the commissioners last month. ![]() to take things from seed to the table of our customers.” “Our dream is to have this be a working farm that grows food for Pittsfield,” Piotrowski said. Vecchia and Piotrowski brought the park commissioners, city staff and city Councilor Karen Kalinowsky to a spot in Springside Park they say will be perfect for Roots Rising’s latest endeavor: a working year-round youth farm. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For flour, I provided weight equivalents using the scoop-and-sweep method (use a spoon to fluff up the flour in the bin, dip the measuring cup into the flour and scoop it up, then sweep across the top of the cup with the back of a knife to level it), but the author of the book you are baking from may have used the spoon-and-sweep method, which will give you a different amount. Weights can vary considerably depending on the method used to measure them. If you still like to proceed with using measuring cups and spoons or if you are cooking or baking from a cookbook that doesn’t include weights of ingredients, feel free to use the baking conversion charts below, but be aware of the fact that I’ve measured every ingredient below myself. For other baking equipment that I’ve tested over the years and recommend, take a look at my Essential Baking Tools & Equipment page. A budget-friendly version is Etekcity’s kitchen scale that costs only $13.99 and is the #1 best seller kitchen scale on Amazon right now.įor greater precision when weighing spices, baking soda, etc., I use Weigh Grams’s Pocket Scale, which allows you to weigh a maximum capacity of 100 grams with 0.01 gram resolution (in order to keep it calibrated and accurate, I also recommend buying this calibration weight). It has an 8000 gram capacity with 1 gram resolution. My choice is My Weigh KD8000 Multi-Purpose Digital Kitchen & Hobby Scale. Make sure the scale includes a tare function, a button that resets the scale to zero so that you may weigh additional ingredients sequentially in the same bowl, or can zero out the bowl or pan weight to determine the weight of its contents. Look for a model that easily toggles between ounces and grams, preferably in decimals or both decimals and fractions, in 1-gram or smaller increments. You’ll be rewarded with more consistent results, less cleanup, and a streamlined process. If you like to bake, do yourself a favor and get a digital scale. Measuring your ingredients by weight (grams) will certainly make you a better baker as accuracy is paramount in baking. You’ll also find an egg size conversion chart. The cooking and baking conversion charts on this page will help you convert measurements from cups to grams and ounces as well as convert recipes from yeast to sourdough or sourdough to yeast. ![]() ![]() ![]() "I need to show her that I'm working hard.

The reason is because this opening gives the Black player an opportunity to retort very powerfully to White’s opening. This opening is a favorite among the Black players when White moves the king pawn to e4. Recommended book: Italian Game and Evans Gambit by Jan Pinski 3. Nevertheless, this is a powerful opening by itself and should be considered if you want to start the game on an offensive note. This is generally because of the conviction that the Bb5 move in the Ruy Lopez opening puts the Black at a better disadvantage than the Bc4 move in this opening. Nevertheless, with the Ruy Lopez opening hogging the limelight over the years, this opening has lost its charm. This opening was fairly prominent at that point of time since people overlooked the Ruy Lopez opening. The Italian Game is another old chess opening like the Ruy Lopez and was discovered in the 1600s. Recommended course: The Open Ruy Lopez by Andrew Martin 2. A major plus of this opening is that it gives the white player enough opportunity to develop a complex offensive strategy and also slows down Black’s pawn formation. It is used as White’s best attempt in gaining an advantage after double king pawn formations. Only over the years, this has become a favorite among pros (grandmaster levels as well) and is regarded as one of the most powerful chess openings. This opening was however not appreciated or used much at that point of time. This opening is popularly known as the Spanish gameand was named after a Spanish priest, Ruy Lopez, who discovered this opening in the year of 1561. Top 13 Best Chess Openings For Beginners 1. Here are the best chess openings for beginners in 2021: I believe these are the best chess openings for both white and black at the beginner stage all the way to the elite level. Keeping this in mind, I have chosen some of the most important chess openings and explain them in this article. Hence it is important that you are aware about the different openings in chess not only to use them against your opponent but also to know what to expect when your opponent plays a certain one. Sometimes all you need is a challenging opening to catch your opponent off guard and drive the game in your favor. You might wonder, “What good an opening can do”? Let me state here at this point that many games have been finished in a matter of minutes due to powerful openings. Your opening can give away your style to your opponent and vice versa, thus, it gives you ample opportunity to play according to your opponent’s style. Having an effective opening can help you set the pace and tone for the game. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this case, round truth is the original image which was downscaled to create the low-resolution image. The objective is to improve the quality of the LR image to approach the quality of the target, known as the ground truth. The target image or ground truth, which was downscaled to create the lower resolution input.The input image is upscaled and improved by our Deep Learning Super Resolution model.The input image is upscaled by Lanczos' interpolation (one of the best standard methods).The input image is upscaled by Bi-linear interpretation (the most common used method).The input image is upscaled by Nearest-Neighbour interpolation.Click on the image below to get a closer look at each result, as well as the original image before it was downscaled. Then, the various methods can be applied. The group of images below demonstrates these different options.įirst, the lower resolution input image to be be upscaled: Upscaling can be achieved using different techniques, such as the aformentioned Nearest-Neighbor, Linear and Lanczos resampling methods. Recent years have witnessed dramatic improvements in the design and training of CNN models used by Super-Resolution. The key to DLSR succsss is the recent rapid development of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The problem is thus ill-posed, and the quality of the SR result is limited.ĭLSR solves this problem by learning image prior information from HR and/or LR example images, thereby improving the quality of the LR to HR transformation. Unfortunately we usually do not know the degradation function beforehand. If we know the degradation function in advance, we can apply its inverse to the LR image to recover the HR image. The HR and LR images are related via the equation: LR = degradation(HR).īy applying the degradation function, we obtain the LR image from the HR image. SR increases high frequency components and removes compression artifacts. Super-resolution (SR) is a technique for constructing a high-resolution (HR) image from a collection of observed low-resolution (LR) images. We now have a whole new class of techniques for state-of-the-art upscaling, called Deep Learning Super Resolution (DLSR).Īn image's resolution may be reduced due to lower spatial resolution (for example to reduce bandwidth) or due to image quality degradation such as blurring. ![]() Also, traditional algorithm-based upscaling methods lack fine detail and cannot remove defects and compression artifacts.Īll of this is changing thanks to the Deep Learning revolution. However, no fundamentally new methods have been introduced in over 20 years. ![]() The upscaling community has provided us with many fundamental advances in video and image upscaling, from classic methods such as Nearest-Neighbor, Linear and Lanczos resampling. Quality is also degraded by routine image upscaling, which is required to match the very high pixel density of newer mobile devices. Due to bandwidth limitations, most video sources are compressed, resulting in image artifacts, noise, and blur. Video delivery quality depends critically on available network bandwidth. Streaming now accounts for over 60% of internet traffic and is expected to quadruple over the next five years. Internet streaming has experienced tremendous growth in the past few years, and continues to advance at a rapid pace. Here's an overview of Super Resolution, its purpose for image and video upscaling, and how our model came about. At Collabora we have addressed this issue by introducing an accurate and light-weight deep network for video super-resolution, running on a completely open source software stack using Panfrost, the free and open-source graphics driver for Mali GPUs. Despite their great upscaling performance, deep learning backed Super-Resolution methods cannot be easily applied to real-world applications due to their heavy computational requirements. ![]() |
