![]() For a while, it worked - the white covers frequently outsold the Black R&B originals from 1954 until 1956. Many rock historians point out - with a great deal of justification - that this amounted to an attempt by the music establishment to buck the oncoming threatening storm of the rock era by watering it down into a much more palatable and conventional (i.e., white) form that in reality had little to do with rock at all. Their strategy of foraging for sources among Black R&B vocal singles was widely imitated throughout the industry, by Pat Boone, the McGuire Sisters, Georgia Gibbs, and numerous others. ![]() The Crew Cuts were regular visitors to the Top 20 over the next couple of years, repeating the "Sh-Boom" syndrome with songs like "Earth Angel," their second-biggest hit at number three (though nobody remembers the Crew Cuts' version today, the Penguins' original had long established supremacy with audiences and on oldies stations). Although the original Chords version still became one of the first Top Ten rock & roll hits, the Crew Cuts' cover outsold it by a wide margin, finding a far easier entrance into established radio formats and mainstream white audiences. When the Crew Cuts got a hold of "Sh-Boom," they gave the song a far more standard (white) pop treatment than the Chords had, complete with big-band type orchestration. The Toronto foursome already had a Top Ten hit under their belts with their first major label single, "Crazy 'Bout Ya Baby," before tackling "Sh-Boom" what's more, their first hit had been a group original, not an R&B cover. Their cover of the Chords' "Sh-Boom" went to number one in 1954, setting the stage for their other commercially successful pop treatments of R&B hits by the Penguins, Gene & Eunice, Otis Williams & the Charms, the Robins, the Spaniels, the Nutmegs, and others. ![]() ![]() The Canadian quartet differed from those acts, however, in their concentration upon covers of songs originally recorded by R&B and doo wop vocal groups. They weren't rock & rollers in the first place: their clean-cut white harmony glee club approach was really in the style of early- and mid-'50s groups such as the Four Aces, the Four Lads, and the Four Freshmen. On most informed lists of rock & roll villains, the Crew Cuts would have to rank near the top. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let alone a more natural transitioning of progression that doesn’t require returning to the hub, sprinting to an obligatory marker to get a morsel of narrative exposition, to then turn back the way you came and load up another mission. Even if all that ends up doing is souring the experience for those, like myself, looking for a cohesive story. And I’m not referring to the sequel’s pushing the co-operative angle in preceding marketing - though the idea of mission structure being one to select amidst a list is so blatant an attempt to push the co-op angle. Orchestrated within a kind of progression that is not the right fit for this type of game. Missions often requiring you to visit and revisit the same handful of levels, albeit with specific regions walled off and restricted. It’s a shame then that these surroundings are - like so much of Aragami 2 as a 10-15 hour experience (and one that’s far too damaging a detriment to dismiss) - repeated one too many times. It’s a strange design choice for the sequel all things considered and while the move towards a more nimble and multi-level hopping manner of traversal doesn’t exactly better the original’s mechanics, the levels offered in Aragami 2 are at least aptly structured to be both testing yet curious in what tempting alternative routes they may house. In its place is a sort of teleportation move whereby players are granted more freedom in as much the verticality of their movement, alongside the regular sneaking around corners as well as in and out of buildings. Namely, perhaps the most obvious absentee of them all: the former premise of manipulating, even creating shadow out of nothing so as to sneak one’s way around environments. Even if some of the charms of the original game are nowhere to be found here. For those who liked the grounded yet weaving level design of the original release, it may comfort you to know that this is one aspect that throws up interesting, albeit brief, moments of dilemma during one’s time tackling an objective. If there is unquestionably one thing that’s true of the sequel as it was in the original, Lince Works aren’t masquerading this as a game that appears more complex than it actually is. That’s not to say that Aragami 2 has somehow gotten more complex or that it’s intentionally going against the grain of its predecessor. To finally get the better of those multiple patrolling guards and rotating “vision cones”. To focus so squarely and precisely on the art of moving from point A to B. ![]() It was good (least in the context of 2016) to have a game so intentionally pulled back from excess. Not because a sequel, in theory, couldn’t build on that same nostalgic, back-to-basics pedigree, but because it was that very formula of simplicity - stealth without all the added-on perks and potential distractions of its more recent years where the game had originally shone. Yet fast-forward five years to the here and now: to see the Spanish studio return to the world of old-fashioned stealth in the form of a sequel is still a surprising reality to have emerge. An art-style too that as much emboldened as it reflected the quaint, cel-shaded visuals of its feudal setting. And as its final release showed, while not a perfect or flawless showcase both in craft and technical performance, the original Aragami of 2016 proved Lince Works had a deft but more importantly sensible touch when it came to balancing mechanics with aesthetic.Ī game that was eloquent yet smart in how it utilized its stripped-back, minimalist approach - a design choice that reflected well in something as simple as its user interface, or lack thereof. Ready that it could all go pear-shaped in a matter of seconds. Namely the readable patrol routes, winding necessity to duck around corners and overall sense that even when presumably removed from the abrupt state of danger posed by one wrong move, players were always made to feel anxious. As reported back then, developer Lince Works’ intentions may have been to attract fans of the genre’s traditionalist past. Amidst the drowning noise and scuffle that is (or perhaps was is more befitting for the current time) the show-floor of E3, a charming throwback of a stealth game by the name of Aragami was first discovered over five years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the newest elements in Virtual’’s toolbox is the ability to stream directly to various sources like Facebook and Youtube whatever you are making. What are some of the features of VirtualDJ? ![]() For audio-only tracks, the application has visualization effects that stay in beat with the music. Furthermore, you are also able to do 4k and HD video mixing. Once you download VirtualDJ on your device, you can sync it to any of your other devices that you have the application downloaded. Over three hundred DJ controllers can be used with VDJ. In the attempt to make sure you can play anywhere you go, VDJ is able to synchronize with most hardware especially Pioneer, Numark, Reloop, Denon, Hercules, Rane and so on. They do allow you to customize this with their emphasis on customization and even have a day mode that has more color, so it is easier to use when using this outside. Now the interface is intuitive and easy to use to find the key elements of mixing. With their newest editions, they have brought a modern feel to the interface and de-cluttered the screen. There are many things that you can do in mixing music, and VirtualDJ always had the problem of too many options in a cluttered interface. One of the things they have improved is their user interface. However, there are so many options in helping you do that. VirtualDJ does a variety of things, but all it does is essentially helping you to mix your music. This focus does mean that while you will have a great variety of things to do, the VDJ isn’t going to do them as well as some of their competition like Serato. One of the things that is different from the other software is the fact that VDJ has a heavy emphasis on new features. ![]() ![]() ![]() As of Snow Leopard only the Image Capture Web Server opens in Script Editor.

Image Capture is an application program from Apple that enables users to upload pictures from digital cameras or scanners which are either connected directly to the computer or the network. Home is the front-end for Apple's HomeKit software framework providing integration with other smart devices. Its design was maintained with the same basic math operations until the final release of classic Mac OS in 2002. Its original incarnation was developed by Chris Espinosa and its appearance was designed, in part, by Steve Jobs when Espinosa, flustered by Jobs's dissatisfaction with all of his prototype designs, conceived an application called The Steve Jobs Roll Your Own Calculator Construction Set that allowed Jobs to tailor the look of the calculator to his liking. The Calculator appeared first as a desk accessory in first version of Macintosh System for the 1984 Macintosh 128k. Apple currently ships a different application called Grapher.Ĭalculator has Reverse Polish notation support, and can also speak the buttons pressed and result returned. Though no higher math capability was included, third-party developers provided upgrades, and Apple released the Graphing Calculator application with the first PowerPC release (7.1.2) of the Mac OS, and it was a standard component through Mac OS 9. The Calculator program has a long history going back to the very beginning of the Macintosh platform, where a simple four-function calculator program was a standard desk accessory from the earliest system versions. Scientific mode supports exponents and trigonometric functions, and programmer mode gives the user access to more options related to computer programming. Basic includes a number pad, buttons for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, as well as memory keys. It has three modes: basic, scientific, and programmer. Growl support provides onscreen confirmation whenever a volume is mounted or ejected.Calculator is a basic calculator application made by Apple Inc. For example, it can display, next to its menu-bar icon, the number of mounted volumes, and you can choose to prevent the startup disk and internal hard drives from appearing in the menu. ![]() Semulov also provides a number of display options. (There’s a useful option to prevent internal drives from being unmounted and, of course, Semulov never tries to unmount the startup disk.) (Semulov conveniently groups items by type.) Choose a volume from the menu and it’s immediately ejected/unmounted, or choose the Eject All command to quickly eject all mounted volumes. Semulov- volumes spelled backwards, in case you missed it-adds an eject icon to your menu bar click on this icon to view a menu of all currently-mounted volumes-hard drives, flash drives, CDs, DVDs, network volumes, iPods, disk images…anything that can be mounted and ejected in the Finder. I found it in Kevin Wojniak’s free Semulov 1.3 ( ). This is admittedly a minor problem, but one that led me to look for a more-convenient solution for ejecting volumes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Chicken breasts can be subbed for thighs.If you plan to make the chicken alone not served over rice, you can use 12 thighs with the sauce above.

Most of these studies use zebrafish and try to understand things like the effects of sleep deprivation (lack of sleep), insomnia (trouble getting to sleep) and circadian rhythm (sleep cycles). Aquarium fish are typically active during the day time and sleep at night. So far we don’t have the answer to that question but recent video footage of a sleeping octopus showed it changing colours, which suggests it may have been dreaming about hiding from a predator or sneaking up on its own prey (which is why octopuses change colour when they’re awake).īelieve it or not, fish sleep is being studied to help us better understand sleep in people. One wonders if fish dream while they are sleeping. So if fish dont have eyelids, does this mean they do not sleep. Fish do sleep with their eyes open, because they dont have eyelids (except for some sharks) to close Fish sleep is not exactly like human sleep, though. Fish dont need complete darkness to sleep well, but the fact that many fish species actually appear to rest during nighttime might imply that they do. Just like you and me, bettas need their beauty sleep. And remember, try not to wake your sleeping betta. Gavin Leung/Flickr Fish may dream like people do! They just don’t show it I mean, they sleep with their eyes open I hope the information in this guide helps you to determine the difference between a sleeping betta and one that is awake. Fish don’t need eyelids because dust can’t get in their eyes - but they still sleep. ![]() ![]() Oracle Java ME SDK 8.1 provides the following plug-ins for working with Eclipse IDE 4.4: Plug-ins for Eclipse IDE enable all features of Oracle Java ME SDK to be used from within the IDE.

After Chihiro exits the elevator, she exchanges bows with him as the doors close. In the anime, he has a few on-screen appearances with the most noticeable scene being when he helps hide Chihiro Ogino (the protagonist) from a suspicious bathhouse worker. Oshira-sama, also known as the Radish Spirit, is a minor character in Spirited Away. Water dragons were actually pretty scary back in the day, but now these creatures represent good luck.

Yamauba is a type of kijo (female demon) or a mountain witch who was originally a human but became corrupted and turned into a yokai ( Japanese ghost or spirit).
