![]() Sanders’ history with gun control issues dates back to the very beginning of his Washington career. She asked, “How many people do we need to see cut down before we act?” “We have to face hard truths about race, violence, guns and divisions,” she said. We also ask ourselves how we rid our country of the repugnant racist views which apparently fueled this killer’s depraved act against our fellow Americans while they were in the sanctuary of a house of God.”Ĭlinton, the Democratic front-runner, delivered a more direct call to action during a speech in Las Vegas. The statement did not mention guns, and when asked for further comment, Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver offered a less-than-forceful call for addressing the issue of gun violence: “This sick and tragic attack is an example of why we need to ensure that guns do not end up in the hands of dangerous people. ![]() He also issued a statement saying, “The Charleston church killings are a tragic reminder of the ugly stain of racism that still taints our nation.” He canceled a campaign event for this Sunday in South Carolina and urged supporters in an email to make a contribution to the Emanuel AME Church with a link to the church’s website. Sanders didn’t ignore the tragedy in Charleston, though there was an uncomfortable moment when his rally outside the Capitol for bolstering union retiree benefits overlapped briefly with a prayer vigil nearby for the victims of the shooting at the historically black church. Still, as the gun-control conversation ratchets back up in the wake of the Wednesday’s shooting, Sanders risks looking like he’s out-of-touch with his progressive base and a bit tone deaf. It’s not clear if his approach on the subject will hurt Sanders, who is enjoying a surge in the polls and overflow crowds on the campaign trail.

It's all relative so just get the trial and don't wonder what it can To be fair. So far I doubt I'll buy it but I still think AP is a great app! Btw, I like the old tool icons better. It struggles too often and even Adobe CS5 Photoshop does a better job, which I inherited when I bought an old mac. I'd like a better selection tool and refining process. Is that bad? No, not really but it's just not doing anything better than what I use it for. I ran V1 & V2 side by side performing same edits and saw no difference. I haven't yet found any benefit for my normal workflow. The videos of the new features didn't tell me very much so I got the trial. That said when V2 was announced I was curious exactly what was new and if I really needed it regardless of cost. I don't use many of AP features as it's an occasional tool for composite photos via layers. Software of any kind is only beneficial to those who need it- know how to use it, which in itself is a significant consideration.

Rounding out the major updates is JPEG XL support. With luminosity masking, users can target specific brightness values within their image If you frequently make changes to different layers or use layers to create 'versions' of the same image, a new saved layer state feature lets you quickly review specific types of layers based on color tag, layer type, name and lock status. For example, you can make precise adjustments to just the shadows, only highlights or any luminosity range in between.įor retouchers, band-pass is a type of mask that is focused around edges in an image, which should be helpful for editors who work on different frequency layers. Alongside the hue range mask, Affinity Photo 2 includes the ability to mask specific luminosity ranges. There's a new hue range mask tool, meaning you can create a mask based on a specific color in your image. Texture artists will enjoy the new ability to adjust lighting information baked into normal maps.Īffinity Photo 2 includes non-destructive raw image editingĪffinity Photo 2 also includes Live Masks, a non-destructive mask that updates automatically based on the properties of the underlying image. For example, you can use the non-destructive warp to make an image look natural on a warped page in a magazine or book. While less photo editing for photographers and more for graphic designers, a new live mesh warp feature lets users distort an image or file to match the surface of an underlying template. Serif writes, 'This means separate masks you have created can be maintained non-destructively while creating new masks based on those component parts.' Speaking of masks, you can combine multiple mask layers non-destructively with add, intersect, subtract and XOR operations. ![]() VISCOM Video Converter SDK ActiveX v.3.33 Professional Video Edit SDK for MPEG2, VOB, M2TS, MOV, MP4, WMV, AVI, FLV, 3GP.Convert, Resize video to AVCHD (m2ts,ts), RMVB ( Real Media Video), Animated GIF, QuickTime MOV, DIVX, AVI, WMV, MPEG1, MPEG2, VCD, SVCD Video.Instant message a user to get to know them before you Webcam chat, and add them to your contact list.

No more lonnnngggggg formulas to do this task! Here’s the same data we were looking at, but turned on its side: This makes the technique work horizontally as well, using a formula something like =SUM(A2:AK2)/2. So I’m adding the values in twice! So if I divide by 2, I get the right answer! Each of the sections containing the subtotal had the values in there twice – the individual values plus the subtotal! So dividing by 2 solves the problem! If I add the values in B33 thru B37 (including the subtotal), I get 4,262 – the 2,131 from B33:B36 and the same 2,131 from B37. Well, let’s look at the formula in B37, for example: OK, ready for the winner? Make sure you’re sitting down first. That’s pretty cool too! But this could also lead to an error if somewhere in column A the word Subtotal were misspelled, or contained a space at the end (“Subtotal ”)! OK, what is SUMIF? It’s a built-in Excel function which works like this: Wherever the first range (A1:A37) contains the word “Subtotal”, add the values from the 2 nd range (the 3 rd parameter). So it’s definitely shorter than something like This doesn’t look much shorter, but it’s pretty much the same size no matter how many cells are involved. One down side to this technique is that it won’t work on a range which is horizontal, only vertical, as this one is. Wow! That’s cool! Excel “finds” all the other Sum formulas and picks out the correct cells! Not likely to produce an error! But there’s no hunting for the correct cells to use. While the cell B38 is selected, press Alt/= (that is, hold the Alt key down and press the = sign). The first way is probably the easiest, but the formula is perhaps just as long. In this blog I’ll describe a few alternative ways to do this, leaving the best for last! It does work, producing the correct answer, but it’s tedious to do and certainly subject to errors because you might click the wrong cell. ![]() I’ve seen formulas like this many many times, and often a lot longer because the list is longer. How many of you would use the formula =B3+B9+B14+B20+B25+B32+B37 to solve the problem? The formula in cell B9, for example, is =SUM(B4:B8). Notice that there are several subtotals in the list. Suppose you have a worksheet which looks something like this:Ĭlearly, what’s needed is the grand total in cell B38. Still using long formulas to create grand totals in Excel? There is a better way! ![]() As such, it doesn’t need tapping style gameplay as a crutch. With simulation games, the upgrades are fast, but also far more strategic. This used to be an issue for idle games - since idle games typically had to start slow and progress quickly in order to give you a sense of progress, tapping gameplay was an easy out for designers to give a player something to do between upgrades. Tapping fast no longer helps you - the game stays compelling by asking you only to be managing your upgrades, and managing what boosters to start. In fact, with Idle Miner and Idle Factory - they remove a core mechanic altogether. Unlike the previous idle game mechanics, idle simulation games don’t innovate in the core gameplay. Wheras Sim City Build It, Farmville, Hay Day may appeal to a older, broader demographic, Kolibri’s “ Idle Miner Tycoon” and “ Idle Factory Tycoon” have shown a compelling business case for using classic simulation game loops. Yet on Idle, in the last year we’ve seen a new face of simulation games: Idle Simulation. Simulation has been on the decline on mobile for years, with Sim City Build It and Fallout Shelter (arguably) being the last big games in the space. The merge mechanic was first pioneered by games like Triple Town, but turned commercially successful by Gram with Merge Dragons and Merge Town. How do you find core gameplay that can offer a variety of upgrades that are equally visible and impactful to progress? #3 Merge Idle This creates a far more compelling long term strategy, and is what future idle games will need to focus on. Planet Bomber now offers upgrades across a number of parallel vectors, all with a variety of importance to the core gameplay. Before, games would offer linear upgrades to damage dealt, or income generated. Planet Bomber was the first to expand on this formula, adding more depth to the game by adding more types of upgrades. “ Idle Sweeper” took Pac-Man, “ Idle Flipper” took flipping style gameplay.Īny simple arcade gameplay which had an opportunity for scaling health/damage and computer-controlled assists could create a compelling new idle game. This made for a compelling formula, that was easily replicated across multiple genres. Shoot down incoming invaders as fast as you can to earn your manual income, and then purchase and upgrade computer-controlled allied fighters to fight alongside you. Space Invaders, 1942) to earn their income manually. Games like “ Idle Invaders” used classic shoot-em-up gameplay (ex. Instead of asking the player to tap to earn their coins, Voodoo asked them to play simple arcade games that have mass appeal. Enter Voodoo, who mastered this approach throughout 2017 and early 2018. So what do you do when clicking style gameplay is uninteresting? Take the same progression system mechanics you know work well, and graft it onto more compelling core gameplay. The resurgence of the genre has actually been on taking the progression mechanics learned in this genre and applying it to whole new mechanics, whole new audiences. Besides Partymasters (pictured), there haven’t been many successful new titles that only use clicker gameplay or similar. It’s important to note that this style of game has gone out of fashion. This was never all that appealing to players - so developers had to find clever ways to sidestep the issue and incentivize the full reset. Pushing the player to reset their progress back to the beginning in order to make the growth more manageable and ensure the player still felt growth in the slower endgame. However, the core mechanic always quickly became a bore, and the appeal of just swiping or tapping as fast as you can to progress is only appealing to some.Īlso, due to the nature of the game, prestige mechanics became a necessity. Over time, developers tried changes to the core gameplay to make it last a bit longer: Make it Rain! and Farm Away used swipe controls instead of tap to make it more mobile friendly. ![]() This decision-making structure has stuck with idle, but the core gameplay of tapping as fast as you can has not.

Tami Danielson is the main in-house blogger and Director of Operations for Pop-Daze. Tambourine Man and Turn, Turn, Turn remains shining examples of great music from the 60s. The brilliance of their early work is not unnoticed, nor is it dimmed by the chaos that broke the band apart. Sadly, the demise of the band itself was of their own making – massive egos, drugs, mental illness of one original member, and in-fighting created an unworkable and unsustainable environment for these creative beings. Sadly, Gene Clark died of a heart attack later that year, while Michael Clarke died of liver failure in 1993. In 1991, the Byrds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an occasion that saw the five original members performing together for the last time. Several former members of the Byrds went on to successful careers of their own, either as solo artists or as members of other groups. As a result, a planned tour in support of the album failed to materialize. The reunion album, titled simply Byrds, was released on March 7, 1973, to mixed and mostly lukewarm reviews. The five original Byrds booked studio time in Los Angeles from October 16 until November 15, 1972, and recorded their first album together in seven years. The reunion actually started in October 1972, beginning with a rehearsal at McGuinn’s house, where the group began selecting suitable material for a new album. The revolving door of members continued until they finally broke up in 1973, with a very short-lived reunion of the early incarnation in late 1972. McGuinn and Hillman recruited new members, including country rock pioneer Gram Parsons, but by late 1968, Hillman and Parsons had also exited the band.ĭavid Crosby hilariously summed up his departure from the band in the documentary Echo of the Canyon, saying “Ladies and gentleman, that’s not why (referring to his rejected song Triad) they threw me out of The Byrds – they threw me out of The Byrds because I was an asshole.” The Byrds continued as a quartet until late 1967, when Crosby and Clarke also departed. But by early 1966 Clark had left due to problems associated with anxiety and his increasing isolation within the group. Both Dickson and Clarke were added in at a later date in mid-64. The nucleus of the Byrds formed in early 1964, when Jim McGuinn, Gene Clark, and David Crosby came together as a trio. At one point, the band were even cited as being an inspiration to The Beatles who were the figureheads of this brave new world. The Byrds are considered by critics to be among the most influential rock acts of their era, even though their time as a “popular group” only lasted for a short period in the mid-60s and very early 70s. In fact, Jim (Roger) McGuinn was the only member who remained consistently a part of the band. The original (but very short-lived) lineup of the band consisted of Jim (Roger) McGuinn (lead guitar, vocals), Gene Clark (tambourine, vocals), David Crosby (rhythm guitar, vocals), Chris Hillman (bass guitar, vocals), and Michael Clarke (drums). Turn, Turn, The Byrds were a California-based rock band in the 60s. |
