![]() ![]() So enjoy the power that is the font I call, American Captain. This face is dedicated to him, the captain America knows and respects, the captain America font designers like myself strive to symbolize in their work. And within this font is captured his fighting spirit, his unyielding determination. This man was an outstanding captain of men, an American patriot of unquestionable calibre. This font represents the unparalleled strength of one man who saved an entire world from the crushing yoke of tyranny. It's even possible you don't understand how this font has been reborn and revamped and revitalized by generations of sign-painters and hand-letterers and determined font guys like myself who just can't let this thing go. What you might not know is that it dates back to at least the 1940s. Why bother to explain things you can clearly see with your own eyes, when what you might not be aware of is this font's unique origins. To describe my new font, American Captain, the boring part of my brain tells me to use staid words like narrow and bold, sharp yet blunt, heavy and tall but deep within the creative side of my brain, there's a smouldering nugget of inspiration that tells me this font deserves something more. So here we go with the descriptions again. OpenType features include: small caps, fractions, stylistic sets, glyph replacements, etc. UPDATE: American Captain is now available in commercial form as a 6-FONT FAMILY with complete character sets and language support for Central European characters, Cyrillic, Greek and Hebrew.

![]() It is exhausting, heartbreaking and terrifying. What I can do is start by sympathizing, and saying that I am so, so sorry that anyone is in the position of having to consider putting down a physically healthy dog because of a serious behavioral problem. Clients often asked me “What would you do if it was your dog?” I can never answer that question, because I’m not the one who will have to lie in bed at night thinking about what has happened. We all know that a great deal of what is labeled as “aggression” is defensive behavior, but for the sake of our discussion, let’s focus on consequences, and not what we think is the dog’s intent.įirst and Foremost: It is No One’s Decision But Your Own: This is both a blessing and a curse. Let me start by asking that we agree on a definition of “canine aggression.” For the sake of our discussion, let’s define aggression as an action in which a person is either injured or at clear risk of being injured by a dog. I’ll get the conversation started, but I greatly value the input of you as a reader, if you have any to share. My intention here is to help people considering the option of whether to put down a dog who is seriously aggressive, in hopes that I can provide some guidance. Euthanizing a physically healthy dog, one who is joyful and loving part of the time, is surely the hardest thing a dog lover has to face. Often I’d run into people who would say “Oh! What a wonderful job you have!”, no doubt envisioning me spending my days running through fields of daisies with Golden Retriever puppies.Īs hard as it is to talk to clients about whether to put down an aggressive dog, it is nothing compared to what the owners are going through. I would drive home, sick at heart, and wonder why the hell I hadn’t found an easier way to make a living. These were some of the hardest cases I worked with when I was seeing clients full time. ![]() And yet, sometimes, that is an option that dog owners have to consider. If there is anything harder than euthanizing a beloved dog for serious behavioral problems, I don’t know what it is. ![]() ![]() We also loved that there are options included that allow singers and vocalists to get the most out of the program. With over 100 styles of music and multiple instruments to choose from, Chordpulse stands out from the others on our list when listening to the final product. Whilst the exploration of chord progressions and teaching capabilities of the program are there for all to see, the real beauty is in the auto-generated songs. The simple-to-use software allows you to create, arrange, teach, and compose. Off the shelf, Chordpluse comes equipped with the ability to generate backing tracks based on chords chosen by the user. In this article, we’ll have a look at 5 of the best Band-in-a-Box alternatives as well as cover the pros & cons of each, who they are aimed at, and why we think that if you can’t produce music the old-fashioned way, using this type of software is a pretty good alternative.Ĭhordpulse is a direct competitor to Band-in-a-Box and offers many of the same features. The software is hugely popular and provides simple production solutions for musicians needing an original track but who do not possess the ability or financial resources needed to record using live instruments. Whether it’s which software or plugin to use, how to arrange everything properly, finding the right inspiration, or simply starting out for the very first time, Band-in-a-Box (BIAB) is a great solution that can help. It is no secret that writing music is hard! The entire process is complicated and time-consuming. Released in 1990, the music accompaniment software makes it possible for users to create full songs simply by inputting basic chords. Xmure - Severely limited editing features but only reasonably priced app that can play one man band type progression with A,B, C,D type variations.Band-in-a-Box is a revolutionary piece of software that has been around for over 30 years now. Ireal pro - i use it to export Midi to Yahmaha keyboards or do note doubling while entering new chords)Ĭhordion i love it but its ipad only ( i used my iphone more)įor live i use Dreamfoot ( simple no frills app) Navichord least used ( not easy to QUICKLY write a progression like G D/F# Em. What are you looking to do each one does its own thing?įor auto play I love suggester ( only suggester allows you syncopated chord entries as far as I know) e.g dotted chord entries Klimper videos and design turned me off no did not purchaseĪlso haven't done anything useful with Chord flow I own, Navichord, Suggester or Chordflow. I’m wondering which of these apps: Klimper, Navichord, Suggester or Chordflow you prefer and why? How many of them are duplicates? I already own the full version of Navichord and I noticed that Klimper is on a sale at the moment but I don’t want to just buy apps for the sake of it (sale or not) if the functionality is the same as Navichord or if it’s perhaps better in one of the other apps. ![]() Hopefully, this additional info will help make things clearer as to what I’m looking for and as a result, better illuminate which apps will work best for this use. Thanks so much to all for the info and suggestions! I really appreciate it. Does that make sense? So, an app that will help me write/compose music by offering suggestions of chords/notes that will work well together. Otherwise, I think I’d get so frustrated and down that nothing I tried to create sounded decent that I’d give up - and I don’t want to be in that position. This would allow me to actually get going on making music and actually come up with something that sounds (if not good), then at least like it goes in an acceptable progression. But I don’t know tons about music theory and I want to work with an app that can do a good job at suggesting chords/melodies (via chord/note families or whatever) for composing so that I could play around with music creation and learn at the same time which chords/notes go together. With the music production, I also want to try some composing, as overly grandiose as that sounds. I’ve been waiting for two years to get this 2018 Pro model (which is my first iPad) - and I adore it. I want to get into music production on my new iPad Pro. I have some background in music and music production (worked in a pro studio in Nashville for a year+ engineering many years ago). I guess I should have thought to include what I wanted the app(s) for. ![]() Klimper, also cool looking, but I didn't find it intuitive either.Ĭhordflow is cool, but never made anything I liked with it, and still haven't figured out the GUI.īut what are you actual chord/midi needs? how do you want to use it? Suggester is great if you want to figure out a chord progression and have the chords play one after the opther Of all the chord apps, I think Chordion is the funnest and most playable. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many players wish his fight could have been realized as a full-length boss battle complete with multiple phases. Ensemble Dark Horse: The Conductor is widely regarded as one of the coolest bosses in the game for having a unique concept where his attacks are in tune to the music, with sound effects to match.Once the octopus is beaten, it disappears from the fight completely and the third phase pits you against Haarmit once again, with the octopus never appearing again until the Final Boss. Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Haarmit's second phase isn't against him, but an octopus.In its defense, this phase is a nice breather between the very difficult phases before and after it. You just have to aim up and shoot until the boss goes down. It's a tree, which is a massive, immobile target with no hitbox, and the projectiles of which can be avoided reliably, as they only come from above as well. Anti-Climax Boss: The penultimate phase of the final boss is pathetic.But, when the small but oh so important own identity is missing and the game is not at all entertaining, I can't recommend this at all, unfortunately. I might not want to go so far as to accuse them of making a shameless copy of it, I rather think that role model and inspiration can be something nice. And despite the fact that it seems to be developed by only two people (which of course is a feat worth mentioning), I can't help but agree with the numerous threads and posts online about how a bit too much inspired and like Cuphead this is. It's very rare that I search for information or read other people's impressions about a game I'm going to review, but I was curious to see who was behind the game. It's pretty much the only identity the game has.Įnchanted Portals has some superficial features that make you raise your eyebrows but what really counts what's there under the surface, it doesn't measure up at all. After the game's dull beginning, however, there is a bit more speed in the form of, for example, air travel on a broom (instead of Cuphead's variant with aeroplanes) and I will also take the opportunity to mention that the theme with wizards and magic feels fitting. So, while it is lacking in speed, it becomes a sweaty and fun challenge in learning movement patterns and how to avoid everything that is sent towards you. Instead, one of the strengths is the music, which you're happy to bop along to, and the game's bosses are quite fun. It feels too identical to what Cuphead gave us six years ago and that game felt more unique. Sure, the cartoony graphics style is fun and pretty but well, it's not actually one of them. However, there are two definite highlights. You often have to walk a few steps to stop and clear the screen, and the controls don't feel particularly nimble or responsive. When the flow is missing, the nerve that can be linked to the fun also disappears. The worst part is how the game does itself a disservice by lacking speed. The third negative thing is the sum of these design decisions, and that is that the game's flow suffers from the two previously mentioned areas. Furthermore, only one of these weapons (wind) shoots multiple projectiles, something all of them would have benefitted from. If an enemy stands outside any of these directions, you simply do not hit it. The other negative thing is that the aiming angle is locked in fixed positions, so there are no 180-degree free movement when aiming, instead you shoot sideways, diagonally or straight up. This has to be done very frequently and the problem is that you can only switch when the character is completely stationary. So in other words, you have to take your thumb off the joystick you control the character with to switch between these three. You switch between red (fire), yellow (wind) and blue (ice) colours and you do this on the D-pad. In order to kill certain enemies, you have to have the right colour weapon to match the colour around or on the enemy. ![]() Two of these things deal with the game's weapons. There are mainly three things that are disturbing and these are the whole basis for how I experience the entertainment in this game. However, they don't manage to achieve the speed and finesse of their inspiration and the problem lies mainly in how Enchanted Portals works mechanically. In Enchanted Portals, it feels like the developers at Xixo Game Studio played Cuphead until the day they decided to make their own game with, basically, all the inspiration taken from that game. Today, it seems almost impossible for a game not to draw inspiration from other games. ![]() ![]() The downloaded package may not contain the latest bug fixes so it is recommended to upgrade ImageJ right after a first installation.

History of ImageJ at Installing and Maintaining ImageJ The author, Wayne Rasband ( is a Special Volunteer at the National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA. ImageJ is being developed on Mac OS X using its built in editor and Java compiler, plus the BBEdit editor and the Ant build tool. User-written plugins make it possible to solve almost any image processing or analysis problem.īeing public domain open source software, an ImageJ user has the four essential freedoms defined by the Richard Stallman in 1986: 1) The freedom to run the program, for any purpose 2) The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish 3) The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor 4) The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ’s built in editor and Java compiler. ImageJ was designed with an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins. Density or gray scale calibration is also available. Spatial calibration is available to provide real world dimensional measurements in units such as millimeters. The program supports any number of windows (images) simultaneously, limited only by available memory. All analysis and processing functions are available at any magnification factor. Image can be zoomed up to 32 : 1 and down to 1 : 32. It does geometric transformations such as scaling, rotation and flips. It supports standard image processing functions such as contrast manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection and median filtering. It can create density histograms and line profile plots. It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections. It is multithreaded, so time-consuming operations such as image file reading can be performed in parallel with other operations A somehow outdated list of ImageJ’s features is available at. It supports ‘stacks’ (and hyperstacks), a series of images that share a single window. It can read many image formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and ‘raw’. It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images. Downloadable distributions are available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.5 or later virtual machine.

![]() ![]() it's probably a quantity over quality thing with so many different popular waifus but doesn't really feel that great. The girls just feel all the same, like the few girls I tried all had VERY similar bodies, only difference being their heads and some of the dialouge so once you've seen one you've seen them all. I tried it again after playing season 1 to see if it got any better, not really. Just look for a video of every girl instead. Disappointing, since getting the early episodes was irritating to find, and required me to use a non-Mega website. and when viewing it under the porn game label, there's no meaningful gameplay, and when you're gameplay is the same as clicking pause or play on a porn video, you are not good. So when viewing it under the porn game label, the art is nice, but the voice acting gets grating and there's a good chance you can't see the entire scene in one go unless you're lucky. ![]() The issue is that this porn GAME has no interesting gameplay, as it's essentially just a porn video that every minute or so, you have a 50% chance to be forced to reset the video. I honestly would've preferred if they'd just put all the choices at the start, then, if you did everything correct, you could get an uninterrupted experience. And with no auto save or way to revert to a specific choice, you're forced to either accept that you might be wanking at a menu when you wanted waifus, or interrupt your wank every so often with saving, interrupting the scene. One continues the sex scene, the other boots you back to the main menu. Here's the major issue: You're forced to, every so often, select one of two choices. The other minor issue is that the voices (from what I experienced) are repeated too frequently and annoying. Not enough to say 'that's not Raphtalia', but enough to raise an eyebrow. A few minor complaints are that the characters are all just a tad out of character. There's actually a wide variety of characters, from all sorts of anime series, and the art is really sexy. Waifuhub is an incredible idea: Gather up a bunch of popular sexy characters, then let the 'player' bone them. TLDR: Great art hides a video where you are occationally forced to reset it ![]() |
