The user is well-advised to read any program documentation and make a RELIABLE BACKUP before attempting any changes. ![]() Macs simply do not need "cleaning." (See for example: ) Some of these programs are notorious for being little more than malware. True experts in macOS maintenance advise against using any of them, because in general they serve little useful purpose and they can easily do more harm than good. Most of theĭevelopers' descriptions boast about what a great job they do, but the truth is, there are no good, comprehensive, head-to-head reviews of these programs by impartial 3rd parties. Many - probably the most accurate and honest - have negative reviews, by users who have been burned by them. Many have what look to be essentially fake 5-star reviews with no useful commentary. There are 42 in the list, and it seems like new entries in the 'Mac cleaner' market space pop up every day, metastasizing like a cancer. (I did a search for 'cleaner'.) If MacUpdate will let me, I intend to post this every time a new or updated version of one of these things shows up on this site. As a public service to the MacUpdate community, I've found as many of these "cleaner" apps on this website as I could and listed them them below. This is not a review per se, it is a discussion of the class of software to which this program belongs.

![]() If you only have Goldfish, then you only need a light that will allow you to provide a day/night cycle. But this also depends on what you have in your tank. Goldfish should get about 8-12 hours of light. Ultimately, Goldfish need time to rest and excessive light will not allow them to get the rest they need. Yes, just like too little light, too much light is also a problem and can impact things like This is because they have no way of knowing if it’s day or night and may just always be sleeping.Īnd if they always think it’s time to sleep, they may not be eating well which ultimately will impact the life span and health of your Goldfish. If Goldfish are not exposed to any light they can lose their color and skin pigment and become pale.Īdditionally, without light, your Goldfish can become sluggish and lose energy. Here is a great video from Mark Goldfishna that explains how Goldfish sleep. So, be sure to turn your lights off at night. That said, Goldfish rest best at night and in the dark. But, they do rest throughout the day and at night. Goldfish have no eyelids so they can’t close their eyes. Lighting is not essential but with the correct lighting you can make your tanks look great by visually enhancing your aquarium and bringing out the colours of your fish. However, as mentioned above there are significant benefits to having a light in your aquarium. Lighting is not required for Goldfish or any other fish.

How Does Light Affect Goldfish?īy Daiju Azuma (Own work), via Wikimedia Commons With a good source of lighting like an LED you ensure your Goldfish will follow a day/night schedule ensuring good sleeping patterns and other habits as well as keep your fish happy and healthy!Ī light cycle will also keep algae from growing out of control in your tank, and will help your live plants (if you have them) grow strong and healthy.Īlthough, LED lights are fine for Goldfish, if you plan on growing plants in your Goldfish aquarium you will need to be selective in what you purchase and ensure your LED lighting has a sufficient PAR value to grow live plants. In comparison to alternatives such as fluorescent lights, LED lights have a number of advantages, including far greater energy efficiency and lower power consumption, the ability to support a full spectrum of color and other lighting effects, and vastly superior longevity and lifespan. Use much less energy to provide quality lighting.LED lighting can be a great option for a Goldfish aquarium for a few reasons mainly Is LED Light Good for a Goldfish Aquarium?. Install OpenCV-Python to AnacondaĬautious Note: I originally tried out installing the OpenCV package, as suggested. It seems to be recommended everywhere in the scientific community. (Read on for the detail instructions.) Prerequisite Install AnacondaĪnaconda is essentially a nicely packaged Python IDE that is shipped with tons of useful packages, such as NumPy, Pandas, IPython Notebook, etc. Do some testing to confirm OpenCV and FFMPEG are now working.Set user environmental variables so that Anaconda knows where to find the FFMPEG utility.Copy and paste the cv2.pyd to the Anaconda site-packages directory.Download the OpenCV package from the official OpenCV site.To use OpenCV fully with Anaconda (and Spyder IDE), we need to: in Python 3.x it would be print("hello"), and in Python 2.x it would be print "hello". NOTE 3: depending on whether you are using Python 2.x or 3.x, just adjust the print statement accordingly in code snippets. Thanks!

You may declare the ultimate smart ass when the first player lands on the “the end” square. Rules edit A single move can consist of multiple hops each piece hopped must be directly adjacent, and hops can be in any direction. If none of the tied players answered the hard ass question correctly then the reader wins, can roll the jumbo movement die, and move their piece forward. The player that says the correct answer first then rolls the jumbo movement die and moves their playing piece forward. If the reader cannot decide then the reader selects a tie-breaker question from the hard ass category. If there is a dispute about who answered correctly first then the reader decides who moves forward. If the player lands on a “kick ass” square, then that player must move back 3 spaces. When all of the top questions of the “hard ass” card are read then continue playing with the bottom questions. If they guess incorrectly then the turn passes to their left and game resumes as normal. Only the player that landed on the hard ass square can answer, and if they are correct, then they may roll the jumbo movement die again and move their piece forward. If the player lands on a “hard ass” square then the reader selects a bonus question from the hard ass category. If you are playing a 2 player game, then the other player wins a free movement roll. If it was that players turn to read the next card then that players turn to read that card is skipped, the turn passes to their left. They must sit out until the round after the next. If the player lands on a “dumb ass” square on the board, then that player is silenced for the next card. The winner of that round then rolls the jumbo movement die, and moves their playing piece forward on the board the number of spaces indicated on the die. If no player guesses the correct answer then the reader wins the round. ![]() Each player gets only 1 guess but may guess whenever they want and do not have to wait for the reader to finish reading. The other players are to guess the answer the clues elude to. The card will have 8 clues, the reader is to read off each clue in order. Jumbo category die has 3 colors, blue is “What am I?”, green is “Where am I?”, and orange is “Who am I?” Reader rolls the jumbo category die and then reads the card determined by their roll. Oldest player is first and becomes the “reader”. Separate the deck into “What am I?”, “Where am I?”, “Who am I?”, and “Hard ass” piles and place them in their respective corners.Įach player chooses a plastic stand, inserts their smart ass playing piece, and then places it on the start position. ![]() Your customers can use an IMVU gift card to shop on the IMVU online store.

You cried out in pain as the blade sliced cleanly through the back of your ankle and your back hit the ground again. You tried to struggle in his grip, each movement sending sharp stabs of pain from your ribcage as your eyes focused on the blade. Your eyes widened and you breathing started to quicken, a low gurgling sound escaping you as you struggled to catch your breath. You felt a large hand grip your calf before lifting you by it with ease, a small grunt sounding before the sound of a blade being unsheathed rang in your ears. You turned your head to the side, eyes trying to focus on the imposing figure that stood above you- your eyes only registering the bright red coming from the eyeholes of a mask. You had just turned a corner when the air was knocked out of you completely, the feeling of a brick wall hitting you before you found yourself sprawled on the ground. ![]() A loud roar broke you out of your frozen state, and you started dashing across the grassy terrain, desperately looking for the hatch. You hadn’t even gotten a good look at him, you couldn’t look away those eyes that stared holes into you at each passing second. Panic gripped you like a vice, sucking all the air out of your lungs as your body trembled. You felt nothing but fear for this new killer, and by the sound of your teammate screaming and the oni roaring, you knew the others felt the same before they met their fate on the hook. You hadn’t behaved like this in a long time in a trial, the killers were still terrifying and death wasn’t pleasant, but this new killer- Oni- stirred a more animalistic reaction inside you. ![]() Before you were even thinking, you were running in fear. The gen let out it’s usual loud explosion, sparks flying towards your face and arms. You were so focused on the voice inside your head you failed to notice the wires you were pressing together were the wrong ones. Him? You didn’t know where the thought came from but you could ear jumbled whispering, a dark voice whispering one word in the back of your mind- “Oni.” You knew the remaining survivor wouldn’t last long and it would be just you and. It hurt to crouch near the gens, your body wound tighter than a spring and your muscles shaking from the strain put on them. You had already been hooked, and your muscles were too sore to bear the fight with the entities tendril if you were hooked again. ![]() The worst was the mask, you could feel the eyes following you no matter where you moved, even if the killer was chasing another survivor you could feel those eyes boring into you. His body alone was enough to send David into a fearful fit of tremors. Nobody knew who or what this killer was, but his power was undeniably strong. You didn’t know how much time had passed, it felt like the trial had only started minutes ago yet your team was already dying off- the entities unforgiving tendrils stabbing into their lifeless bodies seemingly every time you turned around. You didn’t know how long you had been running, the trial a non stop adrenaline rush that was sending your brain into overdrive. ![]() The trial had gone by much too fast, this killer was new to the entities realm and was quickly picking up how each survivor moved. ![]() This means that it is the exact formulation with the exact same stuff as you would get from your.

Out of the box, Android does a great job of automatically syncing particular folders with your Google Drive account. ![]() This arrangement does allow for some pretty interesting strategy, and you might surprise yourself from time to time at the tactics you cook up while you lay waste to the enemies around you. Trouble is there are limitations on distances between Runes, and crystals can only be mined by one unit type - once your elves set up shop, only elves can draw mana from the crystal. If one were so inclined (and had all of the proper grimoires unlocked), one might lay down Runes from each school at the beginning of the match. Unlike most RTS games, however, GrimGrimoire doesn’t limit you to a single school of magic. The amount of interplay between these schools is plentiful but feels somewhat limited after you’ve become intimate with your grimoires and what they’re capable of - once you get the hang of things and have access to a complete library of spells, there’s typically one strong solution for any given problem. The ghosts and phantoms of that school, on the other hand, are invulnerable to plain physical attacks but devastated by Alchemy’s psychic storms. Demons built from Sorcery runes are powerful and have a good deal of HP, but cover ground slowly and can’t damage spectral units, represented by Necromancy. The balance between these units and the schools they represent is pretty solid, and plays out in a sort of rock-paper-scissors-Spock sort of way. Runes are GrimGrimoire‘s buildings, where you select upgrades, develop units, and control your steady march towards the enemy’s stronghold. Basic units from each school (elves in Glamour, imps in Sorcery, etc) can be assigned to the task of mining crystals that dot the map in a given mission the mana collected from these crystals is your one and only currency, and is brought back to your base: a Rune. Again, similar to any other RTS, GrimGrimoire works by means of a system of resource collection and unit generation. ![]() For each of the four schools of magic there are three grimoires, each containing five spells - these grimoires are unlocked slowly over the course of the campaign to help the player become acclimated to their growing rosters of fiends, sprites, and creatures rather than dump everything upon you all at once. With the stage set, the campaign eases you into battle bit by bit, like a proper RTS ought to, introducing you gradually to the four schools of magic - Glamour, Necromancy, Sorcery, and Alchemy - and their grimoires, by which you’ll gain access to various familiars, upgrades, and so on. Throughout the course of her adventure at the academy, Lillet will relive the five days over and over again, trying to find clues to get a grip on the goings-on behind the scenes and eventually put things right. She survives the night, and as the bells toll the late evening, Lillet finds herself back in her room - it’s the first night of her stay at the academy. ![]() After arriving at the academy and digging into her lessons for five days and nights, Lillet Blan is tossed headlong into a catastrophe of epic proportions: on the fifth night, someone up and releases the Archmage Calvarous, held prisoner long enough to put quite the bunch in his bits, who murders just about everybody in the joint but Lillet. Plus you’ve got your league of wacky and unpredictable professors, ghosts wandering the halls, unlikely friendships struck between students - yeah, this is Harry Potter, but who gives a shit? You can skip through the cutscenes if it rubs you raw, after all. ![]() The game is thick with it - I mean, shit, the headmaster? Bloke what runs the school and took out the archmage years ago to claim the crown of Badassinest Wizard? Goes by Gammel Dore. You’ve probably already read about the myriad parallels drawn between the world and story of GrimGrimoire and that of Harry Potter, and I’ll concede that these comparisons are no mere exaggeration. GrimGrimoire puts you in the boots of one Lillet Blan, a new student at a magic academy for gifted youths - the Silver Star tower, former home of a mighty archmage, repurposed as a school. He does, however, track down unfamiliar voices, including doctors, journalists and a jury member, to elaborate the broader context of gang warfare, racist policing and moral hysteria around hip-hop. ![]() With so many key players dead, incarcerated or otherwise inaccessible, Pearce’s principled refusal to plug the gaps with archive material can be frustrating. The sheer waste of it can still punch you in the gut.Ĭhanges lacks the polyphonic vitality of the best oral histories, a format that better serves the story of a collective endeavour than a single life. While the case is officially unsolved, it’s almost certain that the gunman was Orlando Anderson, a Crips gang member who was himself murdered in 1998. Soon, Tupac was talking about leaving the increasingly rackety Death Row and focusing on acting but he died in Las Vegas in September 1996 after a drive-by shooting. Suge was that dude.” Tupac made some horrendous choices but he had good reason to be paranoid “He just needed someone to pull the pin out of the grenade and throw him in somebody’s direction. “The dude is a ticking time bomb,” says journalist Justin Tinsley. A former linebacker and bodyguard with a reputation for violence and criminality, Knight bailed out Tupac pending appeal and shoved him into the frontline of a feud between east and west coast rappers that was partly the result of real personal grudges and partly a reckless marketing ploy. Sentenced to prison on the sexual abuse charge, he was broke, paranoid and humiliated – vulnerabilities that were thoroughly exploited by Suge Knight, CEO of Death Row Records. ![]() ![]() While on trial for sexual abuse, sodomy and weapons charges, he was shot at a recording studio, a murder attempt he blamed on New York hip-hop stars Sean “Puffy” Combs and the Notorious BIG. He committed too fully to a role that he might have outgrown were it not for the events of 1994. But once gangsta rap took off, he sculpted himself into someone harder and meaner, lest anyone think his lyrics weren’t the real deal. In early songs such as Keep Ya Head Up and Brenda’s Got a Baby, Tupac was still the Panther’s son, sensitive to injustice. Rappers often make good actors because they are role-players and storytellers. ![]() He landed his first movie role in 1991, the same year he released his debut album. Former teachers and students at his two high schools, where he played Othello and the Mouse King, remember him as a sweet, thoughtful theatre kid who loved poetry and dance. Tupac’s brief, protean life has taken on allegorical power and New Yorker writer Sheldon Pearce’s oral history clarifies the turning points. He talks instead of survival and revenge: “Fear is stronger than love.” The following year, he was shot dead at the age of 25. When we see him again, in an interview from 1995, some vital part of him has shut down. His mother, Afeni Shakur, gave birth just weeks after she was acquitted in the 1971 trial of the Panther 21, and raised him to think that he was “the Black Prince of the revolution”. Even as an unknown teenager, he flares with charisma as he talks about reviving the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panthers. T here’s a clip in Adam Curtis’s documentary Can’t Get You Out of My Head of an interview Tupac Shakur gave when he was a high school student in California in 1988. |
