We don't feel that we got the tour as advertised. (315) 339 - 7769 Click here to view the John F. We feel some compensation should be forthcoming and not in the form of a future tour. Our tour was lengthened due to delays & very exhausting.īy then, we were going to be late or miss our meal with or tour group. She took us to the forum but there, wasn't time to tour Palatine Hill. First, we will be able to complete a multi-year effort to create vector-based tracings of every feature of Nolli’s and Lanciani’s maps, allowing for the complete delamination, separation, and recombination of the vast. Because Mario wasn't with us we had a far shortened tour and missed our 2pm meeting time.įortunately, Andrea, who's great, connected up with another guide who terrific at 4pm. access to the Colosseum Arena, Underground and Belvedere.Roma Pass holders access from a dedicated entrance always accompanied by an authorized tour guide. Open Rome will achieve several major milestones in rectifying this rather surprising failure of the digital information age. ![]() We explored the 3rd floor alone.įortunately, we got the assistance of another guide, Laura, & she called your office & we were able to reconnect with our original tour coordinator, Andrea. A worker found a tour just beginning underground. Used the toilets & we finally found the meeting place 10 min late.

Godot export templates5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() This is also where you can “notarise” your app by use your Apple Developer ID Certificate, if you have one. If you scroll down a bit in the export options of the “ mac” preset, you’ll also notice that, by default the macOS export makes a “signed” app – this is usually required if you want end users to actually be able to run your executable (otherwise, the Mac Gatekeeper will most likely prevent it from starting up). Note: also – because we’ll be using a unique reference, you can define additional “ready-to-go” export presets even if you don’t use them, like my Windows “win” preset here: They’ll just be ignored if we use another preset □ Keep in mind the name you gave your preset: we will use this reference in our export shell command! You have to avoid these “creeps”: if one touches you, it’s game over! The longer you dodge them, the more points you earn. The game in itself is quite simple: you control a little player sprite and you click on the screen to set its target point enemies are spawn periodically somewhere along the edge of the screen, and they simply move on a straight line after popping. To check out the entire project architecture, take a look at the GitHub repo! □ Note: the Godot “exports” are the equivalent of Unity and Unreal Engine “builds” – thus I’ll use both terms interchangeably in this article. ![]() Note that, because we are going to actually export the project as an executable (in our case, a Mac app), you should also take a look at the docs on preparing the export if you’re not yet familiar with Godot □ A peek at our Godot sample projectįor this quick introduction to automating a Godot build, I’m going to use one of the getting started tutorials from the engine’s docs: the tutorial for the 2D game “Dodge the Creeps”. If you want to take a look at all their featured projects, check out their showcase section □įinally, because the open-source philosophy has such an important role in the development of Godot, there are tons of great docs and tutorials contributed either by the original creators or by other members of the community. Godot has been used to create various 2D and 3D games, as well as other types of software like the “RPG in a Box” game editing tool. That makes it totally compatible with Git pipelines and easy to share your entire project with the rest of your team! Note: about Git versioning – what’s cool about Godot is that it relies on basic text files for your project definitions and configurations, from the startup settings to the export modes. Still, it provides advanced features, too, such as a set of tools to improve your Godot editor itself and customise your workflow! Godot lets you organise your scenes, prefabs and various assets in a very flexible way, and it is meant to be easy-to-use for devs and artists alike. The engine is Git-friendly, uses a node-based scene architecture and comes along with its own efficient programming language: GDScript… but it can also use the more common C# or C++ languages. (It even handles consoles with a bit of extra plugin setup) It allows you to create both 2D and 3D projects and to export for various platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, or even WebGL. Godot is a free game engine that was initially founded by Juan Linietsky and Ariel Manzur, before it became open-source and community-driven in 2014.

Invisible emmie summary5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() The book needs a complete rewrite since it had potential. All the crushes, humiliation, boredom, and drama of middle school are compressed into one surprising day' - back cover. "You Guys are great, you accept my math disablities"-Įmmie is quite selfish, she talks about great it was FOR HER when her BFF'S parents divorced. Invisible Emmie (Book) : Libenson, Terri : 'This is the story of two totally different girls-quiet, shy, artistic Emmie and popular, outgoing, athletic Katie-and how their lives unexpectedly intersect one day, when an embarrassing note falls into the wrong hands. In the first prologue, the author makes fun of people with disabilities, the book teases books like it that have characters with disabilities, how disgusting! That is rule number 1 in how not to be edgy, it's already trying to scream "I'm not like other books" but in the wrong way.Īlso making fun of people's scent and eyes, no, I did not sign up to read this, I wanted to read what the blurb said, a story about a girl who is quiet, socially awkward and comes to change. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Jennifer L. The character's anxiety and need to hide behind a book was something I could relate to, however, she was very flawed but to a point that disgusted me. This book is perfect for anyone who likes humor, heart, and ridiculously fun drawings. It’s a spin-off of Invisible Emmie, starring Emmie’s lovably brainy bff, Brianna, and an entirely new character, Izzy. A book that is written for middle school. Unfortunately, the negatives and controversial things outweighed the good. Positively Izzy is the second book in the drama-filled world of Emmie & Friends. Invisible Emmie by Terri Libenson is a graphic book for tweens that talks about the social aspects of growing up.

Levi’s are easily among the most iconic and beloved items of clothing to be found anywhere on earth.įor decades and generations now, Levi’s jeans have been one of the core staples of virtually every wardrobe, and have stood out as a cornerstone fashion feature in youth subcultures and movements, as well as a great hard-wearing item of clothing for anyone with a manual job.

Tommy Hilfiger offers a variety of cosy and fashionable essentials, with their ranges including pure organic cotton knitwear, simple and flattering organic cotton T-shirts, blazers, loungewear and more.Īlthough Tommy Hilfiger primarily sells casualwear, the brand still places a certain emphasis on sophistication, fit, and understatement that sets them apart from some other brands that go for a more casual approach and feel overall. ![]() Nike Air Jordans and Air Force 1’s, for example, are iconic in their own right. Not only do Nike sell shoes that can help you to perform to the best of your abilities on the track, in the gym, or on the court, but many items of Nike footwear have become cultural fashion phenomena in and of themselves.

Succession season 35/7/2023 ![]() Based on the name of episode 8, “Chiantishire,” we can expect some of the family members to head out to Italy for what’s bound to be a hectic trip.Īs for what’s new for our favorite duo, Greg Hirsch (Nicholas Braun) and Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen)? Tom is still on a high after finding out he likely won’t be sent to prison, and Greg is in a pretty great place as well, having asked out Kendall’s PR consultant, Comfry. It’s only a matter of time before Kendall and his sister Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook), who was excluded from Logan’s buyout plan, snap. We’re not sure why, but that means the finale is coming up quick! You can watch the conclusion on Sunday, Dec. While Succession season 1 and season 2 both have 10 episodes each, Succession season 3 is ending with just nine. We’re on the edge of our seats waiting to find out what’ll happen next in episode 8, but until then, you might want to prepare for the end of Succession season 3. In episode 7, Kendall hosted an extravagant (and honestly, pretty tacky) party to celebrate his 40th birthday party, which turned into a hot mess in the end when he realized his siblings attended with ulterior motives and his dad was trying to buy him out of the company for a cool $2 million. ![]() There’s been no shortage of familial drama this time around, as expected, and it’s still Logan Roy (Brian Cox) vs Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) as we go into episode 8 tonight. It feels like yesterday that we were still counting down the days until Succession season 3 premiered on HBO, and now we’re almost at the finale. By Natalie Zamora 10 months ago Follow Tweet

Sketch cool things to draw5/7/2023 ![]() “That doesn’t look like a boat, give up now it looks like a kid’s done it” The truth is you have probably started to ‘make up the rest of the drawing and have stopped observing, relying on what you think it looks like. Often drawings start really well, and you observe things accurately it’s only when you get to a perceived ‘tricky’ bit you start to question yourself. If you keep on thinking you can’t draw, you won’t.Īs you try and draw something realistically and it starts to go ‘wrong’, your inner critic starts to rear its head. Robert Brooks PH.D and Sam Goldstein, authors of The Power of Resilience. “Well-meaning, intelligent people often resort to repeating self-defeating behaviour in their personal and professional lives,” And these can be crippling both in your progress as an artist or in any other areas of your life. Often successes in our lives stem from our own internal beliefs. You see, your subconscious is already telling you this can’t be true. However, your subconscious mind is extremely powerful, and it can play havoc with your best efforts when learning this new skill. It’s about the same level of skill as signing your name or throwing and catching a ball. ![]() Sure, you need a basic skill level to hold a pencil and make a mark but not as much as you may think. You can learn to draw you might not believe it, which is often the first stumbling block to attaining a new skill.ĭrawing is as much a mental game as an observational game. It all starts by understanding how your mind works and how you can be subconsciously sabotaging your best efforts. You can learn to talk and draw at the same time, but it takes practice. The combination of left and right battling against each other makes trying to draw tricky. You can get to this stage of involvement whilst drawing… until you get interrupted. Intrinsic motivation – whatever produces flow becomes its own reward.įlow is the mental state when you are fully immersed in an activity, a feeling of full involvement and energy. ![]() Timelessness – thoroughly focused on the present, our sin to pass by in minutes.A sense of serenity – no worries about oneself and a feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of the ego.Knowing that the activity is doable – that skills are adequate to the task.Great inner clarity – knowing what needs to be done and how well we are doing.A sense of ecstasy – of being outside everyday reality.Completely involved in what we are doing – focused, concentrated.Have you ever been in a creative zone of absorption, a state where time travels quickly, and you are in what psychology professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls ‘flow’. It’s very hard to do both at the same time. When you are trying to learn to draw something realistically, you have to engage your right-hand side of the brain, which is keener on images and spatial perception. When learning to draw, you often need to temporarily hold off judgment and try not to second guess what you think the object should look like, rather than what the object actually looks like. This side of your brain is keen on knowing an objects name, labelling it, and organising it. The main problems associated with drawing is when you talk, you engage your logical, language dominated left side of the brain. Understanding drawing can be the key to your artistic success and a new, razor-sharp creative mind, but it can seem like an uphill struggle.īut what if there was a simple solution? Pieces to the puzzle that you didn’t know existed,ģ secrets that could instantly improve your drawing and painting? You’ve read how to draw books, maybe gone to a few art classes, but the art of drawing still seems to elude you.Īnd you begin to question yourself – What if it’s me? What if I don’t have enough talent? It seems no matter how hard you try, how intensely you look at a subject, your drawings look wrong.

Launching on product hunt5/7/2023 Treat this platform as any other online community as start building a. Not to mention Product Hunt has investment capital from a16z and formerly went through the Y Combinator accelerator. Networking is the key to a successful launch on Product Hunt. Meanwhile, a16z is making its own Y Combinator. Around 15-20 products launch on Product Hunt every single day, only one gets the coveted Product of the Day position. As Y Combinator makes a Product Hunt, Product Hunt is making an Andreessen Horowitz. Weeks or even months of preparation, tones of tutorials, and endless to-do list to make it all work and get desirable results. Y Combinator doesn’t necessarily agree with this characterization: The accelerator’s head of communications, Lindsay Amos, told me over email that “we encourage YC founders to launch on many platforms - from the YC Directory to Product Hunt to Hacker News to Launch YC - in order to reach customers, investors and candidates.” (More on TechCrunch+ here if you need it!) TechCrunch+ is having an Independence Day sale! Save 50% on an annual subscription here. This guide will teach you what Product Hunt is and all the components you need to launch your product successfully. Find some people who can advocate for your product You can share a private draft of your post and have them comment a testimonial before you publish. Create a discussion post, upvote on products you like, and start getting used to how the site works. If it sounds familiar, it’s because - in my perspective - Y Combinator is taking a not-so-subtle swipe at Product Hunt, a nearly decade-old platform that is synonymous with new startup launches and feature announcements. First, sign up, and familiarize yourself with the site. The famed accelerator, which has seeded the likes of Instacart, Coinbase, OpenSea and Dropbox, invites users to vote for newly launched startups “to help them climb up the leaderboard, try out product demos and learn about the founding team,” it said in a blog post. The latest proof? Y Combinator this week announced Launch YC, a platform where people can sort accelerator startups by industry, batch and launch date to discover new products. On November 12th, we launched Videoform with full preparation on Product Hunt. In addition to the marketing page, we also added a custom animation for all traffic that hit our site from Product Hunt. Launching on Product Hunt exposes your company to hundreds of thousands of early adopters who visit the site every day looking for new things to check out. Tech innovation is a cycle, especially in the main character-driven world of early-stage venture capital and copycat nature of startups. A good marketing page is a powerful tool for conversion (more on that in this post), and essentially a prerequisite to making the most of a Product Hunt launch as far as we’re concerned. |
