You can also draw a straight line by making a dot, holding down shift, and clicking where you want the straight line to go. The tool options appear at the top of the program and change depending on which tool you are on.įor the pen and the eraser, you get the snap tool (quick keys 1,2,3,4 and 4) which just makes it so you can only draw straight lines in certain directions. Down below you can see the options you get with each tool. I’ve included the quick keys so you don’t have to go over and click the button every time you need to use a certain tool. You have quite a few font options though! hold down option to get the eye drop tool and hold space to be able to move around the drawing if youre zoomed in. Text tool for text, however you are very limited with what you can do with text. Pen for drawing, Eraser for erasing, Dot brush for pixel art, v for the normal arrow tool that I call the grab tool, shape tool for drawing basic shapes (shift does not keep them at the basic size so you will have to eye it), the bucket tool for pouring colors, gradient tool for basic two color gradients, select tool for selections, I dont know those next tools names, I think theyre drawing selection and erasing selection or something, but you can draw with them to make selections which is pretty cool. Be sure you add them in the order you want them because you cannot move the colors around. To delete one, you click on it and click the trashcan button. To add colors, you click that cute little page button. I only have saved Bubble, Mod, Carousel, and GhostBunnies colors. Here you can change the size and the opacity of the brushes really quickly while drawing incase you need a thicker or thinner or less noticeable line.Ībove that I have my color palette.

You can either go to the drop down menu under “file” and select “new” to make a new file, or you can use command + N if you’re on a mac. It gives you a few basic brushes to start out. Like most art programs, you can import different brushes and such to use. I’ll start off by explaining how to make a new page, the brushes, and the tools that come with Firealpaca.

![]() ![]() But usually, loss of vision in one eye isn't related to migraine. These bouts may precede or accompany a headache.Ī retinal migraine - unlike a migraine aura - affects only one eye, not both. Retinal migraine involves repeated bouts of short-lasting diminished vision or blindness. Ocular migraine sometimes is used as a synonym for the medical term "retinal migraine." A retinal migraine is a rare condition occurring in a person who has experienced other symptoms of migraine. But migraine with aura isn't usually considered serious. ![]() These symptoms can temporarily get in the way of certain activities, such as reading or driving. A migraine aura involving your vision will affect both eyes, and you may see: Aura can sometimes occur without a headache.Ī migraine aura that affects your vision is common. The auras usually last for about five minutes to an hour. If the wave of activity goes through other areas of the brain such as the sensory or language centers, then the person would have sensory (for example, tingling in the tongue, face or arm) or language auras. It's thought that auras are usually visual because such a large portion of the brain processes visual information. About 90% of people who have migraine with aura have this type. The most common type of aura is a visual aura. The location of the wave of activity in the brain determines the type of aura. Migraine aura is a wave of activity in the brain traveling through the brain. When visual changes are only in one eye, they could signal something serious and require immediate treatment. Retinal migraine is extremely rare, and the visual changes are in only one eye. ![]() Most commonly the term "ocular migraine" had been used to describe what is now called migraine with aura. ![]() ![]() ![]() Meeker and his colleagues outlined their findings in the Transportation Research Record. ![]() Another broad study, performed by the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University, backed up the results of the Penn State study. In its 2004 approval memo, the agency noted that Clearview boosted highway-sign legibility for drivers traveling at 45 miles per hour by 80 feet of reading distance-or 1.2 seconds of bonus reading time. “Helen Keller can tell you from the grave that Clearview looks better,” Meeker says.Īt the time, the FHWA agreed. Highway Gothic (Meeker and Associates / CityLab) His firm, Meeker and Associates, which specializes in environmental graphic design, tested Clearview with the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute at Penn State University over the course of the 1990s. Meeker is one of the designers responsible for the Clearview font (along with James Montalbano). The announcement took Donald Meeker by complete surprise. Just 12 years later, the FHWA is changing course: Highway Gothic is the only font for U.S. In 2004, the agency embraced Clearview, based on studies that appeared to demonstrate its superiority, especially in nighttime driving tests. Again.īy ending its “ Interim Approval for Use of Clearview Font for Positive Contrast Legends on Guide Signs,” the FHWA reversed its position on Clearview, a font developed to improve highway-sign legibility on the roads. The agency terminated an order it had issued back in 2004 approving the use of a new font in highway signs. Federal Highway Administration announced a small change that has huge implications for the nation.

It is just to highlight how much of a good deal the original DirecTV Now Go Big plan was back then. For what it’s worth, the comparison is not to highlight how bad any of the live TV plans of today are. However, with even the cheaper Ultimate package costing a minimum of $104.99 per month through the DirecTV Stream website, they are both good examples of the price changes that have hit the market over the years. In fact, DirecTV Stream’s current Ultimate and Premier plans are far more similar to Go Big, and even exceed the overall number of channels. Due to this, a plan with all of the Go Big channels would actually cost significantly more today. The market has changed greatly since those early days and plans in general have been subject to multiple price increases. Priced at just $35 per month, and even at the standard $60 per month, the Go Big plan was one of the best deals around with access to a wide selection of channels. In reality, none of the live TV plans compared stack up well against the original Go Big plan. For some services that involved using a cheaper plan, with for others the option was to use a more expensive plan to ensure enough channels can be compared. Essentially, we’ve tried to keep all of the plans somewhat in line with Go Big to make the comparison more worthwhile. Sling offers two main plans, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, but both are very light on channels, so the combined Sling Orange + Blue plan was used in the comparison. In contrast to DirecTV Stream and fuboTV, where the base plans were used for comparison, the opposite was true for Sling TV. For example, fuboTV offers more options than the Starter plan and consumers will find a more robust selection of channels available with the Elite plan. Likewise, similar liberties were taken with some of the other plans in the comparison. However, at $149.99 per month, it is significantly more expensive than the Go Big plan ever was, making the value in a comparison less worthwhile. DirecTV Stream actually offers four main plans and the most expensive Premier plan comes with more than 140 channels. For example, DirecTV Stream’s Entertainment plan. Due to this, only the base/main plans were used. When it comes to the other plans, it is very difficult to compare Go Big to all of the different plans currently available. Or, it is possible that we simply made a mistake and missed one or two. For any grandfathered Go Big subscribers that have access now (or did before) to a channel that’s not listed above, it is likely the channel was added at some point after launch. DirecTV Now was no different in this respect and did gain channels after launch, including A Wealth of Entertainment, CBS, CBS Sports Network, and Pop, among many others. As is the case with all live TV services, channel lineups evolve over time with some channels added and others removed. ![]() For starters, only the Go Big channel lineup at launch was used in this comparison. ![]() There are some things to note about the above comparison. The purpose here was to simply see how many of the channels available with Go Big are available today with modern live TV packages. Whether that’s because the channels weren’t around at the time, or simply were unavailable through DirecTV Now, subscribers to DirecTV Stream fuboTV, Hulu Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV will find they have access to some channels that are not listed above. Of course, some of the other services do actually include channels that Go Big didn’t. Opting for any of the other services in 2022 typically results in fewer channels and at a higher cost. ![]() Go Big really was one of the best deals around at the time. Go BigĪs can be seen in the table above, no live TV streaming service in 2022 currently offers a like-for-like plan. In fact, many have reached out to specifically ask for a newer comparison, so here is a more up to date look at how the original Go Big channel lineup compares to DirecTV Stream, fuboTV, Hulu Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. ![]() ![]() ![]() ReWild Your Child Nature Program runs one full-year session from September until June.

They started with Kodu, a visual programming language used in schools around the world. So most of the generic objects being created in Project Spark are items that would fit into a fantasy world, like orcs or wizards and medieval buildings.Įverybody at Team Dakota is housed on a floor of an office building in Redmond, Wash., away from Microsoft’s main campus and on the edge of a forest. The first major “exploration” has a fantasy theme. That’s when we started thinking about the genesis of this idea.” We looked at everything from Lincoln Logs to play behavior in general. They don’t have that opportunity to make their own adventures. When they play games, they go from left to right. He said, “You look at the modern day and … now they’re sitting in front of a television. ![]() What does it mean to play? What we saw was, if you think about a kid playing, they run around their neighborhood. They’re natural tendencies in us,” Sterchi said in an interview with GamesBeat. “When you think about grounding it from there - you look at that concept and say, ‘Everyone wants to play and wants to create.’ We had an opportunity to do some blue-sky investigations, and we pivoted straight toward that. “Historically, we’re inherently born with the need to create and play. The creators have put a lot of thought into the whole system. Image Credit: Microsoft Creating Project Spark I visited Team Dakota’s headquarters in Redmond, Wash., where leaders like creative director Henry Sterchi and lead game designer Brad Rebh have grappled with this challenge for three years. But that has been particularly difficult. Many world-building publishers want to duplicate the success of Mojang’s Minecraft, which has more than 100 million registered users. The title is still in closed-beta testing, and players are creating all sorts of cool game worlds, such as Star Wars or Harry Potter fan games. The creative action is more like sculpting, not coding. The title will be free-to-play so that anyone would be able to pick it up and play with a minimum of friction. You can use an Xbox One with Kinect to insert your own image into a virtual landscape or sweep your hand over a Surface 2 tablet to populate it with trees. Spark is ambitious because it is designed to run on anything from a PC to a huge touch-screen television. If it works, Microsoft’s own gamers will build a sharing community, which they can sustain by creating much more content than Project Spark’s own developers, dubbed Team Dakota, can themselves. The deal has won approval from many jurisdictions but has been opposed by the FTC in the United States and Britain's Competition and Markets Authority.There’s a lot at stake in coming up with this magic formula for accessibility and creativity. Microsoft has argued that it would be better off financially by licensing the games to all comers. The FTC says the transaction would give Microsoft exclusive access to Activision games, leaving Nintendo and Sony Group out in the cold. Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, a federal judge in San Francisco who will decide the case, said little on Tuesday. At times the questioning grew testy, including when Wilkinson said forcefully, “Professor Lee, can you answer my question?” on a fine detail of his reports.Īppearing to grow frustrated with the difficulty in parsing Lee's answers, Wilkinson at one point mapped out his market share assumptions on a white board visible to the judge. Microsoft attorney Beth Wilkinson pressed Lee in an effort to poke holes in his analysis of the deal, pointing out limitations of his economic modeling. ![]() ![]() If the deal goes through, Microsoft has pledged to provide the game to Switch for 10 years. Lee acknowledged that his analyses did not account for anything but full exclusivity of "Call of Duty" on Xbox and did not show what may occur if the game was available on Nintendo's (7974.T) Switch. ![]() Lee was pressed by an attorney for Microsoft over the details of his analyses of potential market share gains for the Redmond, Washington-based company’s Xbox division, particularly the effect on gamers who would migrate due to the wildly popular "Call of Duty" videogame which is made by Activision. That said, the side that loses in federal court often concedes and the in-house process does not go forward. Federal Trade Commission has asked a federal judge to stop the transaction temporarily in order to allow the agency's in-house judge to decide if it can go forward. SAN FRANCISCO, June 27 (Reuters) - Arguing for the government on Tuesday in its legal fight against Microsoft's (MSFT.O) $69 billion deal to buy game maker Activision Blizzard (ATVI.O), Harvard economist Robin Lee struggled at times to plainly demonstrate how the planned deal would hurt gamers. ![]() ![]() ![]() She has a double-sided head with a smile on one side and an angry look on the other.

That doesn’t mean each row is guaranteed a set so you’ll have to loosely feel to see. In a bigger surprise, most boxes will have a complete set of 20 per row which I’ve reported before. I’m not sure why LEGO decided these characters had to be double bagged but they are.Īs confirmed with numerous other reports, the the majority of the minifigure distribution comes in at three complete sets per unopened box. In addition, there are a few characters that are double bagged and they include Crayon Girl, Hula Lula, The Swamp Creature, Kitty Pop, Dorothy Gale and Toto, and Cowardly Lion. Although we were afraid the minifigures were going to be harder to feel for, the materials of the packets made it a bit easier to feel through. The packs themselves are a bit taller and wider than previous ones and they are similar in size to the Unikitty series. Like with previous Collectible Minifigures series, each box contains 60 packets and if you’ve been collecting for a while, you may notice there are some changes to this series. They are currently widely available at major retailers around the world. There are a total of 20 minifigures to collect in this wave and each character has a tie-in to the movie. I’m a bit late to the game but I’ve finally got my review set for The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) to check out. ![]() ![]() ![]() A couple others, just to put it in context, were things like gratitude and happiness and hope and grit and a growth mindset. And positive psychology basically was a reaction against traditional psychology, which used the medical model in which they looked at the deficits a person had – what’s wrong with him – and then they try to fix it.Īnd positive psychology took the stance of instead of looking at what’s wrong with people, let’s look at what’s right with people and try to enhance it and give them better lives.
