![]() Take that, Time Variance Authority!īesides revisiting old franchises, the other thing Hunted Cow’s been working on this year is finding the best way to package its games. Of course, having learned their lesson from the initial release of the first game, Hunted Cow has enabled you to play any of the game’s 39 missions as either the Union or the Confederate army, bending history as you see fit. Although the back half of the year largely belonged to the Union army, there was still a fair bit of back and forth in the first half of the year, and lots of interesting battles to build a game around. Grant being given command of the entire Union army, and ended with the Union taking a decisive victory in what would be the last large-scale battle of the war, the Battle of Nashville. By 1864, things were reaching a breaking point on the most bloody war in American history. It’s hard to believe there was such a time, I know. ![]() Use your imagination and travel back to a time where the United States of America was divided almost in half on some of the most important issues of the day. As you might expect given the frequency of Hunted Cow’s releases, Civil War: 1864 ($6.99) feels very iterative, but there are a couple of differences beyond the expected slate of new missions. For some, it’s probably a bit too soon to go back to a very familiar period, but I’m just happy to get a break from tanks in my mobile war games. After making a big return to World War 2 with the recent Tank Battle: East Front ($1.99) series and revisiting ancient warfare with Ancient Battle: Alexander ($7.99), it’s making another return to the American Civil War, last visited in Civil War: 1862 ($2.99) late last year. Hunted Cow’s been a bit nostalgic this year.

If you’re wondering how to baby proof your house for a crawler, you start by getting down. Baby Proofing for a Crawling Baby (Around 6-10 months) No matter the extent to which you decide to formally “baby proof” your home, parental vigilance is the most important ingredient in child safety. Other hazards-open trash cans, the edge of the coffee table-are less serious but still worth addressing. Taking care of window blind cords and open electrical outlets, for example, is as much a part of safe parenting as car safety seats. The typical house does present some very real hazards, and no conscientious parent would make light of these. Here we outline the biggest safety hazards and explain what you can do to minimize them. No amount of futzing with your space will ensure it’s perfectly safe, but the goal of baby proofing is to reduce the amount of trouble that your child can get into, so that (just maybe!) you’ll have time to eat, shower, and pay your bills. These are a must have if your stove knobs are on the front of your stove, making them extremely accessible to your baby and even your older children.As thrilled as parents are when baby gets mobile, there’s a downside to having a crawler or cruiser.

I work with organisations all around the world helping them understand how they can use social technologies to underpin new approaches to working and learning. I am an international speaker and writer on the use of social technologies for collaborative learning and collaborative working Learning in the Social Workplace is my blog, where I write regular posts about how to support learning & performance in the social workplace. We work with enterprises to help to build the new capabilities of the Connected Worker though our workshops and consultancy services. Developing, supporting, and encouraging people to use these new social workplace skills will be just as important. Becoming a successful social organisation will require more than just the implementation of enterprise social technologies. The digitally connected workplace demands a completely new set of skills. In 2013 I launched a new initiative with Harold Jarche: The Connected Worker. In 2012 I set up the Social Learning Centre – a global online professional community for Learning Professionals (in both education and the workplace) to learn from their peers as well as leading industry practitioners and thought leaders from around the world in a number of different online, social ways, which includes online workshops, webinars, live chats. As this is a very popular resource, I am currently building the Practical Guide to the Top 100 Tools- a growing collection of Quick Guides to help you find out more about how to make the most of the world’s most popular tools for learning. I released the 2012 list on 1 October 2012. The website hosts a number of major resources, including a Directory of Learning & Performance Tools that contains over 2,000 tools. You will also find links to articles and resources produced by me, my Jane’s Pick of the Day and online versions of two of my books: Social Learning Handbook and the (upcoming) New Workplace Learning.įor the last 6 years, I have conducted an annual survey of learning tools and compiled a yearly Top 100 Tools for Learning list. This website has now become one of the world’s most visited learning sites on the Web, with over 125,000 monthly visits.

So do you feel like you’ve changed over the years? Are you less hard on yourself now? I would look and half that record… we just don’t regularly play so I’m looking at songs like “Thanks A Lot” and I go, “You know, I wouldn’t be so hard on that guy, that’s a pretty good song.” I also think I was hard on myself in everything that I did and I think artists are that way and I certainly was. Like you can see their faces and throats relax and they sing out and I think there’s something exalted about that.Īnd that was a song about a kid who was gay and jumped off a bridge because he was bullied and I think there’s a kind of progress in a way beyond tolerance (which is a terrible thing, I hate tolerance), but into acceptance and inclusion and to be embraced that happens. And people got that message, “I would understand.” Now it’s like when we play that everyone really sings it wholeheartedly. “Jumper” was a noir about me talking to a kid who’s already dead, but it’s kind of what I would say to him had this kid been alive. I know you’ve said in the past that “Jumper” has become a more positive song Pretty much no growth for me, I’ve just been 27 forever (laughs). When we play Holmdel on the 23rd, that’s right at the top of summer, I’ll have a board out for sure.Ī lot of people consider the album a classic and it’s this seminal thing for them, has your perspective on the record or any specific songs changed? ![]() So we’ll probably try to get out there if there’s any summer swells. A few years ago we played in Asbury Park and I was surfing before the show. So when you go on these summer tours, do you get to surf in all these different spots? I spoke with frontman and guitarist Stephan Jenkins before he departed on one last surf trip before the start of the Summer Gods tour where the band will play their debut in full and about the changing legacy of this influential album. Anti-authoritarian rock anthem “Graduate” and the heartfelt “Jumper” are also some of the most popular songs.Īnd while the adoration of these hits is more than justifiable, it is the deeper cuts-the painful and visceral “Motorcycle Drive By,” the desperate “God of Wine”-that elevate the album to fundamental-listening status and perch it high on many people’s favorite albums of all time lists. The most popular, “Semi-Charmed Life,” combines sickly sweet pop with an irresistible refrain that has saturated Thursday karaoke nights. ![]() It’s probably near impossible to find someone who is unfamiliar with at least two to three songs from the record. It is a record with enough singles to make it a staple of popular culture, but also so nuanced and “punk” that it is also a necessity for those with more selective tastes. And that is perhaps the most impressive legacy of Third Eye Blind. Profoundly poetic lyrics with an equal balance of catchy, radio-ready hooks culminate in a record that is cherished and revered by casual and serious music fans alike. Twenty years after the release of their debut, Third Eye Blind is celebrating their self-titled record with a summer tour that will feature the entire album played front-to-back. ![]() The Exchange section offers powerful visual presentation, breaking news, addictive recurring features, agenda-setting regular columnists and deep reporting that illuminates the behind-the-scenes stories of the week's biggest business and finance news.

Results are, however, comparable to those achievable manually in Photoshop using the Unsharp Mask and the Shake Reduction filters, so the software may be more appealing to beginners and photographers who require a fast yet good quality sharpening fix during editing. Sharpen AI undoubtedly makes sharpening images and resolving blur such as camera shake incredibly quick and easy thanks to easy-to-use controls and artificial intelligence. With these types of blur, there’s always a finite amount of correction that can be applied and you can often see when motion blur has been corrected this is most obvious on-screen, while print is much more forgiving if the sharpening effect isn’t too strong. When resolving motion blur and camera shake, the software produces results that are once again comparable to those possible Photoshop, but the whole process is much quicker and easier. One point worth making here though is that Sharpen AI doesn’t create the high contrast edges and the halos that images can easily suffer from along subject edges using Unsharp Mask. Sharpen AI makes this incredibly easy, and where you might spend a few minutes experimenting with Unsharp Mask settings in Photoshop, Sharpen AI allows you to achieve similar results in just a few moments. One of the problems with any kind of image sharpening is that there’s a fine line between perfectly sharpened and oversharpened, so you have to take care to maintain a natural-looking result.

Summery magic vibes all the way. Led Zeppelin – What Is and What Should Never Be This is an immaculate dance floor classic, with all of the warmth of a sweaty summer night and the intensity of the lyrics, “can’t you see I need yaaaaa”… Isn’t that part of what summer brings too? Hot unsettling nights to go with the heatwave days.Įverything that Roy touches turns to sunshine. Whereas most other summery songs feel airy and warm, this one feels bad, sweltering hot and sticky like a summer night when you are up to no good and the heat and humidity won’t quit. But it’s so summery and the lyrics are sung from the point of view of a flower, “will a lady pin me in her hair?”… This one was originally recorded by Ramsey Lewis and when Minnie sings it, it’s full of surprise crescendos like hairpin turns in a 1974 Lincoln Continental. “I got stars in my beard and I feel real weird, for you”…how romantic is that? This song sounds like it should be playing at a pool party where you have so much fun that you pass out on a raft and get sunburned. Jan Hammer would later go on to create the sizzling theme for Miami Vice – his knowledge of hot and sunny vibes didn’t come from nowhere. Such a simple and happy song of silky sweetness and Fender Rhodes gliding along like a dragonfly. Not to mention that it would become the summery basis for “Summertime” by DJ Jazzy Jeff and that guy from the movies. Anyway the synth in this one is smooth, and warm like summer itself. This could be the consummate summer melody, from Kool and the Gang when they hadn’t yet made ‘Celebration’- the wedding song that we DON’T EVER play.

Normally that many requests would leave me frustrated, but they helped me realize I was not alone in how much joy I get from her music. The night of her death, I was DJing in Washington DC, and was completely inundated with requests for her music. It saddened me deeply to find she had passed, and that that unique tone would be silent from now on. I certainly do… SHE WAS AWESOME!
