Pixel Art

Pixel Art is:

- Creative mind

- Art made of pixels

- Combination of images on computer displays and video games

- Arts and images in video games

- Digital art/retro drawing

- Lower resolution art

- Modern graphics resolution in video games

- Modern art depicts works/images that existed in the past

The Pixel Arts are the re-drawing of the pre-existing works of art and are not entirely the property of the Pixel Artists, so the Pixel Artists must properly credit the previous creator.

Pixel Art that comes up frequently is:

- Image of man with headphones on neck

- Rocket picture

- Star picture

- Picture of pink heart on blue background

The parties that usually need Pixel Art are all of the Video Game Industry, and usually, the Pixel Artists do the work in the Video Game Industry. Video games are the efforts of a group of people (developers, artists, writers, and designers) collaborating to create games.

Pixel Art can be found at:

- Atari 2600

- Nintendo Entertainment System

- Sega Genesis

- Early computer graphics

- Sonic the Hedgehog

- Space Invaders

- Donkey Kong

- Mario

- Kirby

- Pokémon

- Pac-Man

The Pixel Artists are the ones who should focus on the placement of each unit in their images. The Pixel Artists need to be able to capture the basic shape of the subject while keeping it simple. The Pixel Art that requires a high level of attention is in dire need of the Pixel Artists.

Tools that can help the Pixel Artists to create the Pixel Arts:

- Screen on PC, Laptop, and mobile phone

- Squares on the Pixel Grid

- Pencil/Brush

- Line

Simple Tips when Creating the Pixel Art:

- Study the pixel characters from the works of past artists

- Simplify the complex shapes (hands, facial expressions, and more)

- Design the drawings for modern consoles and PCs

- Save the Pixel Arts as the PNG and GIF Files because the compression applied by JPG can interfere with the quality of the Pixel Art pixel by pixel

Some Online Communities that can help the Pixel Artists:

- On the Behance Community, the Pixel Artists can share their work and portfolios to showcase their work in front of potential employers

- Social media account called Pixel Dailies can encourage artists to create works based on themes, such as breakfast, epic heroes, zombie plague, or relaxation

Soon, the Pixel Art may be out of date and may be over, but the Pixel Art lives on as a certain artistic choice. Evoke nostalgia when working with pixels while still creating the Pixel Art. The Pixel Art is simple, but still complex and needed.

Direct Message On Twitter And Elon Musk

Elon Musk's unique personality is a source of interesting change to study. Elon Musk's deal to buy Twitter personally is also a major change in the world of business and technology.

About Direct Messages on Twitter and Elon Musk:

- Twitter users can delete the Direct Messages from their accounts, but the Direct Messages that have been sent can still be accessed by the recipient

- All Direct Messages that have been sent are already stored on the Twitter server unless the personnel who have access to it delete them

- Maybe Elon Musk will be able to read all the Direct Messages on Twitter

A few things that all Twitter users want:

- Twitter users can delete all Direct Messages they have sent and received, not just some of them

The anxiety over privacy is a part that has always been a concern for the technology used by its users. The sensitive data collected by software and internet companies are constantly changing hands when it's sold, and users are often uncomfortable with it. This can all be seen from the following facts:

- When Google acquired Nest in 2014, all Nest users were worried that all the data in Nest would be used for advertising by Google

- When Facebook acquired WhatsApp, suspicions arose that WhatsApp would share its data with Meta Platforms Inc.

Therefore, all technology users should also be aware of:

- Personal data

- Cybersecurity

- Protection provided by the technology to the users

When the Twitter can't give its users what they want, it's recommended that the users use:

- WhatsApp Meta

- iMessage Apple Inc.

- Signal

High Pressure High Temperature - Oil And Gas Industry

The definition of High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) is:

- High-pressure wells have a pressure greater than 15,000 psi (103 Mpa)

- High-temperature wells have a temperature above 177 degrees Celsius

Some of the conditions that occur when HPHT Operation is performed:

- Because the Bottom Hole is located close to the Geothermal Hotspot, the temperature under the Hole quickly increases

- Steam injection used to help produce heavy oil can greatly increase the bottom hole temperature

- Deepwater wells can have high pressure & temperature due to the Geothermal Gradient

- Wells drilled with oil-based mud systems tend to have higher downhole temperatures

Various things that should be done so that HPHT Operation can be carried out safely:

- Drillers must predict pore pressures before drilling into the formation

- Engineers have to calculate pressure using Hydrostatic Gradient-based on the weight of seawater

- To reduce the effect of high pressure, Engineers focus on metallurgy & sealing

- For Well Operation to be carried out safely, Engineers must use proper equipment

- To ensure that the equipment used is the right one, Operators must first know the maximum pressure potential

- To ensure that operation can be carried out safely, the equipment must be functionally tested before use

- To prevent formation fluids from entering the wellbore during drilling, Engineers use weighted drilling fluids

- Drilling fluid can be cooled before being circulated down the hole to protect sensitive BHA components

- Hydrostatic pressures higher than those predicted by the Normal Pressure Gradient are often required to overcome reservoir pore pressures

Some of the emergencies that usually occur when the HPHT Operation is performed:

- Lost time

- Broken equipment

- Injured personnel

The personnel who work in HPHT need the right knowledge & skills, special equipment & regular training.

Health And Safety Program

If the companies can provide protection, safety & a positive & safe atmosphere, then their employees will provide the best service, quality & productivity & their employees will work correctly & comfortably. Therefore, the companies are advised to increase the “Humanity” in their business by investing in the safety, security & comfort of their employees. The main thing that must be done by the companies is to implement a Health & Safety Program, especially if the employees are doing high-risk work & can get injured & die.

With the right Health & Safety Program, the companies can:

- Identify & control workplace hazards

- Provide security & safety to its employees

- Improve the health & safety of its employees

Confined Space Rescue Team

When the work is done in a Confined Space, the company must assign a Rescue Team to be outside the Confined Space, entrances & exits so that they can rescue the workers inside the Confined Space when an emergency occurs.

Three types of Rescue Actions that can be done when an emergency occurs in the Confined Space:

- Actions to self-rescue from Confined Space are carried out when the workers can recognize danger & can get out of Confined Space without assistance. The act of self-rescue has many advantages as the Rescue Team does not need to enter the Confined Space & other risks will not occur. The workers who manage to save themselves & are still conscious will be able to recover quickly too & avoid serious exposure & injury.

- Actions to save the workers from Confined Space by retrieving them are carried out when the workers are unconscious. When this is done, the Rescue Team must ensure that the equipment to retrieve the workers can be used safely. One thing to consider when using equipment to retrieve the workers from Confined Spaces is that the presence of obstacles & twists can complicate the rescue process.

- Actions to save the workers by sending the Rescue Team to the Confined Space are taken when a major emergency occurs. This may also pose a risk to the Rescue Team. It must be ensured that the workers & the Rescue Team are using proper equipment (PPE, SCBA, harness, ropes & others). The communication must always be carried out by the Rescue Team who will enter the Confined Space, the personnel outside the Confined Space & the workers inside the Confined Space if they are still conscious.

For the action to rescue the workers in the Confined Spaces to be carried out safely, the Rescue Team must take the proper training, follow prescribed emergency & evacuation procedures & use appropriate rescue equipment. The rescue exercises in the Confined Spaces must also be carried out regularly.

Emergency In Confined Space

Emergencies occurring in Confined Spaces are one of the leading causes of death in the workplace. Those who died were not only the people working in the Confined Space but also other people who tried to save them, Supervisors, Senior Personnel & others.

Some things to do to prevent accidents from happening in Confined Spaces:

- Conduct a risk assessment before the work starts

- Implement safe work procedures & emergency response plans

- Hazards that may occur must always be recognized by workers, Rescue Teams & others who will enter the Confined Space

- Atmosphere should always be tested before the workers enter

- Conduct the strict supervision

- Contractors & sub-contractors must always be controlled

- Proper PPE & equipment for entry & exit must always be provided

- Communication must always be done by those who are inside & outside the Confined Space

- Officers who are outside the Confined Space must always give a warning if something goes wrong

- Company must have a Rescue Team working in the company so that this team can always be on standby to carry out rescue actions, even before the work starts

- First Aid Kit must always be available

- The workers & members of the Rescue Team must always take the proper training

Best things for the workers & Rescue Teams in Confined Spaces to do:

- Adhere to specified equipment & personnel requirements

- Perform the tasks safely & accurately

- Avoid heightened emotional stress by having the ability to think clearly & control all emotions

- Avoid taking “shortcuts” when doing the work & saving others
