![]() ![]() Chris took over the Angus cattle operation and the grain farm, and has been farming for more than 35 years. He planned to become a teacher, but following a life-changing talk with his grandpa, Chris decided to move home and farm after he graduated. Meanwhile, Max’s son, Chris, had moved away to attend college. Max continued to work for ADM as a salesman until November of 2000. In 1988, Fred passed away suddenly from a heart attack. ![]() Tabor Grain sold out to ADM, which made Max and Fred employees of ADM until 1984 when Fred moved to Dallas, Texas to become President of Azteca Milling. In 1973, Max and Fred sold the grain elevators to Tabor Grain of Decatur, Illinois, and stayed on as employees. As the demand for food corn continued to grow, the Miller brothers built a second grain elevator ten miles away in Newman, Illinois. At the grain elevator, they could clean, grade and ship corn to Frito-Lay facilities across the south and eastern United States. Max and Fred rapidly ran out of room to store the corn, which led them to building a new grain elevator in Oakland. The business grew rapidly as corn chips and tortillas became popular. The Miller brothers began selling food corn to Frito-Lay in the mid-1960's. Max and Fred left MDM Supply Company and focused on the sale and distribution of Sitr-ators nationally. ![]() In the 1960’s, the Miller brothers helped develop the Stir-ator, a piece of equipment that helped dry corn inside of bins. That need birthed their next business, MDM Supply Company, a grain bin dealership. Max and Fred also assisted their dad with his Angus cattle and grain farm.Ī few years later, the Miller brothers noticed that with the advent of shelling corn in the field, there was a need for grain bins to dry and store corn on local farms. They had 10 pens which held 50 pigs each. One side of the business was a feed mill for area livestock producers, and the other side was a place where producers or investors could raise a pen of feeder pigs. Their first business, a pig motel, opened in 1959. The brothers were a great team- Max typically was the innovator, and Fred’s expertise was bringing the idea to fruition. Max and Fred Miller decided to carry on the farming tradition through agribusiness. Howard continued farming throughout his life. In 1946, they split up their farming partnership, and Howard moved to Oakland, Illinois with his wife, Lois, and children Marilyn, Max, and Fred. Howard and his brother got their first herd of Angus cattle in 1939. Howard always said that he and his brother had the Presidents to be grateful to: Herbert Hoover gave them the opportunity to buy some land, and Franklin Roosevelt gave them the opportunity to pay for it. Howard Miller (1900-1969) and his brother started farming together in 1923 in Filson, Illinois.

![]() The model achieves an average relative error of 1.69%, at a lower level, and an average absolute error of 1.32 m, with a Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient of 0.92. Our findings demonstrate that the combined CEEMDAN–VMD–BILSTM quadratic decomposition model yields more accurate predictions and captures the real variation in precipitation series with greater fidelity. We apply this model to forecast precipitation in Fuzhou City and compare its performance with existing models, including CEEMD–long and short-term memory (LSTM), CEEMD–BILSTM, and CEEMDAN–BILSTM. In this research, we propose a combined model that integrates adaptive noise-complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMDAN), variational modal decomposition method (VMD), and bidirectional long- and short-term memory (BILSTM) to enhance precipitation prediction. However, precipitation series are influenced by multiple factors, exhibiting significant ambiguity, chance, and uncertainty. Editor note: I believe this is to toggle a perspective camera.Accurate prediction of monthly precipitation is crucial for effective regional water resources management and utilization. Editor note: I am uncertain what kind of data this entails. Then, for each keyframe:Ģ4 bytes of interpolation data. Similar to the other two lists, it begins with a 4-byte unsigned int that tells how many keyframes are listed. It is used to scale how much a face morph should move a vertex based off of the maximum possible coordinate that it can move by (specified in the PMD)įollowing the face keyframe list is the camera keyframe list. Weight - this value is on a scale of 0.0-1.0. Then, for each keyframe:Ī null-terminated string representing the name of the face to which the transformation will be applied. Editor note: Re:VB-P knows more about this than I do, so hopefully he will get around to describing it here.Īfter the bone keyframe list, there is the face keyframe list (special thanks to Re:VB-P for helping me understand this part!) Like the bone keyframe list, it begins with a 4-byte unsigned int that tells how many keyframes are listed. W-coordinate of the bone rotation (quaternion)Ħ4 bytes of frame interpolation data. Z-coordinate of the bone rotation (quaternion) Y-coordinate of the bone rotation (quaternion) X-coordinate of the bone rotation (quaternion) Since keyframes are not necessarily stored for each actual frame, the animation software must interpolate between two adjacent keyframes with different frame indices. Following the keyframe count, for each keyframe there is this structure:Ī null-terminated string representing the name of the bone to which the transformation will be applied. The final world position would be (11, 27, 33). So, for example, the bind pose of a bone is (1, 2, 3) and the VMD gives (10, 25, 30). The position data of the bones in the PMD model are relative to the world's origin, and the position data here is relative to that. Note that the position coordinates are relative to the "bind pose", or the model's default pose. ![]() Now we get to the bone keyframe list, which starts with a 4-byte unsigned int that tells how many keyframes are listed in the file. This means that it is possible to load the VMD, but only the bones described in the VMD whose names match bones in the currently-loaded model will be able to be registered. You can regist the motion only same bone name. If the name of the currently-loaded model does not match the name of the compatible model, the message "This motion file is the data for. This string is 10 bytes in the old version of VMD, and 20 bytes in the new version. It is "Vocaloid Motion Data 0002" if the VMD was created with later versions (Multi-Model Edition) of MikuMikuDance.įollowing the magic bytes, there is a fixed-length string which tells the name of the model that this VMD is compatible with. The signature is "Vocaloid Motion Data file" if the VMD was created with MikuMikuDance 1.30 (prior to the "Multi-Model" version). The file begins with a 30-character "magic byte" sequence which can also be used to determine the version of the software used to create the file. I will be updating this periodically when I am able to explain how the different sections of this file work better. Note: Once again originally written by alcexhim. The Vocaloid Motion Data (VMD) file format is the file format used to store animations for models used in the MikuMikuDance (Polygon Movie Maker) animation program.Īny fixed-length strings whose values are described as shorter than the actual length, assume to be padded with null byte (0). ![]() ![]() I also noted how quickly the machine whipped the heavy cream into medium-stiff, airy peaks. Because I alternated between medium and high speeds, this test helped me see how easy it was to change speed settings. First up was whipped cream, which I made in the Artisan using the wire whisk. To determine the best KitchenAid stand mixers, I put five different models (including the Artisan) through a series of culinary tests to see how well they handled a variety of doughs and batters. How I Tested The KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Plus, whereas the other models I tested came in 10 or so colors, the Artisan is available in 27 gorgeous hues, including Lavender Cream and the classic Empire Red. A 5-quart capacity is plenty big for a wide range of baking projects, from delicate cakes to thick, dense breads. And though this mixer isn’t suited to tackle extra-large quantities, at no point during testing did I wish it were any bigger. Because it’s more compact, it’s both easy to use and store. What makes this model so great for home kitchens, though, is its streamlined design. ![]() In my culinary tests, the Artisan proved itself to be just as efficient and versatile as larger, more expensive models with nearly twice as much wattage. This model gets gold stars across the board. How Does The KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Compare? While the latter performed well across all my tests, I didn’t find that the extra pounds it had on the Artisan Series made it any more functional. Additionally, in my testing, I found the Artisan to be just as efficient as a bowl-lift model with the same capacity: the Professional 5 Plus Series 5-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. ![]() Whereas models in the latter camp hover around 30 pounds and measure over 16 inches tall, the Artisan weighs 26 pounds and sits at about 14 inches tall. And though the Artisan isn’t the brand’s smallest model-that award goes to the Artisan Mini, which is a fantastic model for beginners or occasional bakers-its streamlined tilt-head style makes it easier to move and store than bowl-lift models. One of the biggest challenges of adding a KitchenAid mixer to your kitchen arsenal is making the space for it. I found this tool especially handy when making pizza dough, as it allowed me to add flour to the mixer as it kneaded the sticky dough-and prevented a major mess. ![]() Not only does this attachment fit on top of the bowl to keep ingredients from flying out while the machine runs, but it also features a tapered spout on its side where you can easily add ingredients. That said, the Artisan comes with a tool that makes it easy to add ingredients to the mixer as it’s running: a clear plastic pouring shield. The Artisan Series 5-Quart mixer had no trouble incorporating all the kitchen sink cookie mix-ins. It was also a cinch to stop the machine so I could scrape down the sides of the bowl or add in more ingredients. While I typically removed the bowl to do this, I was able to change the attachments while the bowl remained locked in place. Throughout my testing, I used every one of the included attachments-the beater, whisk and dough hook-and when it came time to swap them out, I had no trouble removing them. Overall, I found this style incredibly easy to use. The Artisan is a tilt-head machine, which means the mixing bowl locks into the base of the body and the head tilts backward. In fact, I went on to enjoy it with my fresh whipped cream and some macerated strawberries for a simple yet elegant dessert. ![]() The cake that the Artisan yielded was impossibly light and tender. Using the paddle attachment, I prepared a traditional sponge cake batter, which is a relatively finicky mixture if you overwork the batter, which is easy to do in a stand mixer, your cake can become tough or it can collapse. When it was time to be gentle, the Artisan responded accordingly-and proficiently. Instead, the mixer’s body remained steady as it mixed the dough into a tight ball that yielded airy, crispy pizza dough. When I used the dough hook to knead pizza dough at high speeds, the Artisan didn’t bounce around my countertop, as many inferior machines do. During my kitchen sink cookie test, the paddle attachment evenly incorporated all my mix-ins thoroughly while I figured I might find a dry spot or clumps of raisins, I was proven wrong. When I used the included wire whisk to make whipped cream on high speed, none of the heavy cream splattered over the sides after running the machine for 5 minutes, my bowl was full of soft, billowing peaks. During testing, I was thoroughly impressed by the mixer’s versatility-it mixed everything, delicate cake batter and stiff bread dough alike, just perfectly. Whether you want to whip up rich buttercream or knead together stiff bread dough, the Artisan is up to the task. ![]() ![]() ![]() The HERO4 Session also features a built in rechargeable battery, SuperView and auto low light modes, as well as a dual mic system.

Not much more needs to be said about this album cut, except that it would probably surprise most people only familiar with Bentley’s radio hits. The sound is rich and pure, and the song sounds fittingly of another era – not even the staunchest purist could find something to scoff at in his performance. “You’re Dead To Me,” Up On The Ridge (2010)īentley takes on the high lonesome sound of bluegrass himself on this one, to excellent effect. It didn’t catch on at radio, a testament to its unorthodox sound – there’s much more fuzzed-out rock to this one than bluegrass banjo, and it works well to further express its angst. Listen closely for an early career Kacey Musgraves on back-up vocals on this one, a wrenching break-up song. 4 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. This single combines a healthy dose of honky tonk with a little acoustic flair for a fun yet totally country sound – it reached No. 1 country songs later, he’s a director-at-large at the Country Music Association and one of the town’s most sought-after songwriters. Jim Beavers had mostly been working behind the scenes in Nashville before he co-wrote this song with Dierks Bentley – nine No. It also earned Bentley his seventh GRAMMY nomination. This song was co-written by Bentley with brothers Brett and Jim Beavers, who were by this point in his career his go-to collaborators, and spotlights the lovely tension between Griffin’s silvery soprano and Bentley’s rich baritone in service of an uplifting, if familiar, message. If Dierks Bentley and Patty Griffin seem like unlikely duet partners, it’s a pairing that becomes entirely natural once you hear it. “Domestic, Light And Cold,” Modern Day Drifter (2005)Ĭountry music is about telling it like it is, and what’s more honest than saying what you’d really prefer is an icy Budweiser (or something like it) in the age of ever-increasing beer snobbery? This honky-tonkin’ tune might have a few more than three chords, but it definitely tells the truth in charming, plain-spoken fashion.Ĭlick to load video 14. It’s catchy and unexpected, with an uptempo groove that sounds perfect for some sunny festival stage. “Burning Man,” The Mountain (2018)Ī country song about the famously offbeat festival? Why not? The key here is the inclusion of the Brothers Osborne, who add a little bit of jam band flair to Bentley’s more familiar country sounds. 26 on Billboard’s Hot 100, becoming Dierks Bentley’s biggest crossover hit since his debut. Maybe that sound, of happier times (and gatherings of any form), helped it connect with fans across genres – it reached No. ![]() “Gone” (2020)ĭespite the fact that it was released as a one-off in the heart of the pandemic, the raucous single has definite stadium-filling potential. It’s got Texas skies and Spanish moss and country roads, but there’s some real pathos in its country song bingo, drawing listeners in and keeping them hooked. ![]() 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. This plaintive, semi-power ballad secured Dierks Bentley his first GRAMMY nomination as well as his fourth No. “Every Mile A Memory,” Long Trip Alone (2006) It’s got a little funk to it, a nice edge that keeps it decidedly away from the maudlin and in the realm of the realistic. It’s not hard to imagine Dierks Bentley on Craigslist shopping for Deloreans, or practicing meditation, as he does in this heartbreak song about all the things that you do when you can’t be with the person you want to be with.
