Has started in me as - I am finding faith Until it's silence burns you - This again reminds me of the Rumi poem where "the silence IS the answer" Wrap me up and reverse this - take me into your light, and reverse the curse - love me Even though he's just a lonely little loyal "nobody" - a love dog, drowned in anonymity.Ĭurse me out in free verse - I agree with a previous poster: reference to the bible? The speaker is asking to feel god's love. You howl you hallelujahs at the full moon. Bella Luna actually literally means: Beautiful moon, also: Full moon. Love dog - someone who longs for the connection with and to feel god's love: I know why you yearn so, why you remain so devout.Įther = heavens, you look up at the heavens, and howl hallelujah, I think the moon reference is imagery that plays into the dog metaphor. Ok, now, that being said - Here's what I hear with I listen to this beautiful song: Listen to the moan of a dog for it's master. Here is a piece of Rumi's poem Love Dogs: "The Sufis feel that dogs are our teachers with their faithfulness." There is an entire chapter entitled Love Dogs in a book of Rumi poetry by Coleman Barks: Rumi often uses the word Love instead of God, and refers to God as "The Lover". This intrigued me, so I began researching Rumi, and two things happened: I discovered his wonderful poetry, and learned that someone in TVOTR is definitely a fan. Someone on this site brought up many lyric similarities between the TVOTR song Staring at the Sun, and the Rumi poem No Room for Form (as it was translated by Coleman Barks). With this kind of sound, it's telling that TV on the Radio finish by covering one of the most idolized bands in independent music it's a bold calling card for their upcoming full-length.I think this song is about searching and longing for God. As the song spins out its last few seconds, Young Liars ends just as it starts, with such an immediately affecting resonance for which words seem almost unfair, if only because the time needed to consciously process them seems a frustrating juxtaposition to the spontaneity of the connection to something so unique. Like a streetcorner serenade, it's got all the oooh's, aaah's, handclaps and snaps of classic doo-wop, and yet it somehow remains brilliantly, unwaveringly faithful to the original. On this disc, in which every song bears the weighty finality to close, TV on the Radio provide a surreal bonus track: an a cappella cover of the Pixies' "Mr. Adebimpe is plaintive and almost impossibly haunting here, but the jagged tears of Hemphill's guitar, distant enough to sound two studios away, sends the song blissfully over the edge. Zinner's trademark, tremulant surf-waves are the vital undercurrent of "Staring at the Sun", while his low-register distortions lay the foundation of "Blind" in drugged-out slow motion- atop Chase's loping mechanics, he creates a grim, plodding backdrop in stark contrast to the chorus' heavenly reprises, compellingly tarnishing the optimism of the gorgeous vocals with just a hint of uncertainty. The guests make their presence known in subtle but unmistakable ways. Without hyperbole, the effect is electrifyingly direct, nearly mesmerizing, and nothing quite like anything else I can recall.Īdebimpe and the Siteks are currently only playing AAA ball in the New York PR farm system, but in preparation for their call-up to the Big Show, it doesn't hurt that they've befriended the three-, four- and five-hitters in the Brooklyn All-Stars line-up: Aaron Hemphill (Liars), Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and Brian Chase (also Yeahs). It's the spirituality and soul of the blues filtered through barbershop harmonies, but accompanied in counterpoint by dehumanized pulses and drones. Bands have played up singers in the past, but here, the single-minded focus of every musical element seems designed purely to elevate the vocal melodies out of the realm of the merely "real" and into the hyper-real. A massive confluence of factors- masterful levels, nearly too-crisp production, and David Andrew and Jason Sitek's beautifully translucent arrangements- conspire to allow Adebimpe's vocals to shine, diffuse and radiant, as the stunning centerpiece of every track on Young Liars.

Apple would be nowhere without the design professions. Low end consumer and high end can buy their own screens.the middle is stuck with an iMac or moving to Windows. They simply refuse to make a cost effective yet powerful desktop machine that targets design professionals.beside the all in one iMac. I hope that Windows 10 is a decent OS, because I am fed up with Apple. The only viable desktop Mac now starts at $2999. (For a production machine, I would personally not use an "0.0" release of an operating system unless I had already verified that everything was working properly in the beta, or on another computer…)Ī new Mac OS, but they killed the Mac Mini. The "SKP utility" is getting closer, but not ready quite yet. See our post just above yours for the first question. Until I can get SKP import workflow going, I'm going to have to hold off on updating Tech Speaking of which, during the v8 beta, Support had written that there would be a separate tool coming out that allows you to import/convert SKP files for use in FMZ8: is that available or still happening? did I miss it? I need the SketchUp import ability if v7 isn't going to be fully functional. Therefore, if you are considering upgrading to Yosemite and want to continue using formZ v6, you should probably do so only if you can also boot to an older OS if necessary. However, it has not been tested extensively, and we would not be surprised if one or more issues did exist. The Apple store is updating right now so I'm not sure.įormZ v6.7.3 will launch on Yosemite and it appears to run properly. On the bright side, you might be able to get a discount on Yosemite if you bought within a certain time frame. Hey Des - always check before buying a new Mac. And that's it for my broken record rant of the day. Of course all this could be solved by bringing out a FBX export option. Please get V7 working with the OS, or get DAE textures back. Now, if V7 can not be made to work with Yosemite we face the choice of not being able to upgrade to the latest OS, or not being able to export DAE with textures, and having to find a new workflow for exchange of files with the FX house we work with. A bit inconvenient since we can save out a V7 copy of the file and export the DAE from there. With the change to V8 we lost the ability to Export DAE files with textures. I'm a bit pee'd off cos' I just bought a new iMac 27" two months ago. Yes Joe, that looks like a serious machine. So for now, if you want / need to use Yosemite, you should be fine if you are using the current version of formZ.Ī new 27" retina 5K iMac with the i7 chip has arrived. We are working on some corrections for v7 and it is possible that this could work in the future, but we can not guarantee that until we see how much work it will require. Yes, formZ v8 works fine with Yosemite, but v7 does not. Now you’ve got the appearance right, but what about the controllers? Great Retro Games need Great USB Controllers that need to be Mapped To get back the same look and feel as if you on a CRT Monitor, you’ll have to adjust the scanlines in OpenEmu as follows: Your ROMS should play with little problem, albeit your games will look very low quality on a high resolution 1080p monitor that our computer may have. Game loads as if running on the original console.Choose a console from the left-hand side of OpenEmu.Download and then drag the art over to the multicolor-banded image above the ROM.OpenEmu will search the Web for box art but you can locate one manually using Google Images. Drag each ROM into the main window on the right side of OpenEmu ‘s interface.Once you have your ROMS downloaded though, the procedure for using OpenEmu to play your ROMS is pretty straightforward: That’s basically the setup where you get your ROMS is strictly up to you. Go to the App Store and download The Unarchiver which is free and is used to open up ROM packs.Drag OpenEmu to your Mac’s Applications folder.
This means that, although the demand for medical care is high, patients aren’t always able to be seen even when the office has openings. These sort of cancellations often lead to unfilled appointment slots. Last-minute appointment cancellations also make patient scheduling difficult. They were only seeing a 30% confirmation rate using phone call reminders, which ended up looking like roughly 10 no-shows per procedure day. Phone call reminders just weren’t cutting it. Calculations showed that they were losing roughly $1,400-$2,300 in revenue on procedure days due to no-shows and cancellations alone. They found that cancellations and no-shows during days where clinicians are administering procedures were negatively impacting the practice’s bottom line. Take OhMD users Integrated Spine and Joint Institute, for instance. Accordingly, practice leaders surveyed by the Medical Group Management Association reported that patient no-shows are one of the biggest challenges in their office. And patient no-shows can be even more problematic.Īccording to data from the National Institute of Health, no-show rates can range anywhere from 12-80% depending on the healthcare setting. Late cancellations often lead to missed treatments, longer waiting times, and higher costs. When patients don’t show up for their appointments or cancel at the last minute, it can have devastating consequences for both the patient and the healthcare organization at large. This allows doctors and nurses to offer consultations remotely. However, this approach has its own set of challenges- such as increasing costs and overcrowding within existing facilities.Īnother option is to expand the delivery of health services through telemedicine technologies (such as video visits). One solution for this would be to increase the number of available appointments by opening new practice locations. This has a negative impact on patient satisfaction, practice success, and provider fulfillment. In some cases, they may even be unable to get an appointment at all. This means that patients may have to wait a long time to see their doctor or undergo treatment. When providers are overbooked, patients often experience high demand for appointments. Given that demand is significantly higher than supply, it’s no surprise that patient scheduling is difficult. By contrast, demand is both the actual visits of patients each day, as well as all the outreach to and from patients. In a healthcare context, supply can be thought of as the number of available appointment slots in a given day. Despite that, understanding the significance of supply and demand and its impact on patient scheduling is a game-changer. Generally we don’t consider the implications of supply and demand in healthcare. Here are a couple of common roadblocks to success with patient scheduling. That game is made increasingly complicated when it’s difficult to get in touch with patients. Working around patient and provider availability can feel like a game of chess. There are a few common issues that providers see when trying to schedule patients. Let’s take a look at some of the more prevalent issues when scheduling patients, and how to streamline workflows to save time and schedule patients with ease. This breakdown in communication between patients and healthcare providers makes patient scheduling fairly difficult. Odds are, most patients probably don’t have your office number saved in their phone. Ensuring that patients are seen on time, and that appointments are not missed or rescheduled, leads to happier patients and a higher level of satisfaction for both the patient and the clinic.Īlthough calling was considered the norm for contacting patients regarding appointment scheduling, many people these days are unlikely to answer calls from an unknown number. Managing patient scheduling, along with other administrative tasks, is a critical part of running a successful healthcare clinic. This is especially true if you are using calling as your primary method of communication with patients. Whether you are trying to schedule preventative visits or see sick patients, getting in touch with patients can be laborious. Getting patients in for appointments oftentimes comes with a bit of difficulty. BCBGeneration Romper Black Long Sleeve Size Small. Whiteroom + Cactus tie dye casual comfy jumpsuit.

I felt incredibly fierce, even though anyone older than 30 totally didn’t get who I was and had to ask. I already had a pair of perfectly beat-up black Converse sneakers, so I had that territory of punk naturally covered. I borrowed one of my dad’s ties and wore a white tank-top with some loose black Dickies. In 7th grade, I went as Avril Lavigne from her music video, “Sk8er Boi,” because obviously I did. Up until college graduation, I would spend weeks brainstorming the perfect Halloween costume - which may or may not have sometimes included dressing up as my favorite music video. I have a bad habit of just running to Target the night before for a pair of cat ears and calling it a day, but it didn’t used to be like that.

I have been buying candy, costumes, furniture and masks since October 1st. But it was what she really thought would be the best look for ," recalls Stanley. She got really overheated when she would have to dance because something like that really traps heat in. "That was the most intense part, keeping her cooled down. "I knew that that would be really hard for her because, obviously, latex holds in all of your sweat." After the first take, Stanley remembers unzipping Spears' jumpsuit and "literally a bucket of water poured out of it." 52 likes, 3 comments - stags in fits (stagfits) on Instagram: Oops We did it again, fangirling over another costume that we wish we had thought of first. "This jumpsuit made me very nervous because it was latex and I knew how much she had to dance," stylist Estee Stanley tells NYLON over the phone. One's plans of having this gorgeous outfit all put together, which really had some style, I felt, were just chucked out the window and we went with a rubber suit basically." Plus, the black shoes that finished her look happened to be what she wore to set that day, since the original (red) pair was rejected. "The night before the shoot, I was informed that Britney had hired a guy who did wardrobe for Michael Jackson to come up with a suit that she was going to wear on the day," says director Nigel Dick. According to Bustle, the red outfit was one of Spears' top requests for "Oops… I Did It Again." A short plaid skirt, gray cardigan, knee socks, and Mary Jane heels. Miley Cyrus even wore her own homage to the catsuit for her "Mother's Daughter" music video in 2019. What to wear: A white shirt with buttons (note: you will not be using the buttons), tied up in a knot. The iconic ensemble has become a pop culture staple, referenced at Halloween for the past two decades and quite possibly one of the most recognizable looks from a time when music videos were at their peak in the early aughts. The then-19-year-old pop star was gearing up to drop her sophomore album, an edgier follow up to her debut release ".Baby One More Time." To solidify this new era, the video for her first single - one that would top the Billboard charts and garner its own Grammy nomination - was a risky rendition of a space-age romance between an all-American astronaut and Spears as a Mars-based alien vixen with a penchant for red latex jumpsuits. It was exactly 20 years ago to this day (April 10) when MTV's Making The Video aired a behind-the-scenes episode on filming Britney Spears' "Oops… I Did It Again" music video.

Using a plain text editor, open /usr/local/Library/Formula/glib.rb, delete its contents (maybe make a backup first), and replace them with the contents of this file. By enabling verbose mode in homebrew and doing a little sleuthing at github, I found a fix. I could see that the problem was caused by a 404 on a patch file.

Homebrew figures all that out, downloads what it needs to, compiles stuff, and you can just watch the code in the terminal and feel all super powerful. And these dependencies have their own dependencies. Homebrew should already know about fontforge, and will determine that it has some dependencies.

There is a special case that, the operating system is a 64-bit system, but you are not sure whether the program is 32-bit or 64-bit. If your operating system is 32-bit, you must download 32-bit files, because 64-bit programs are unable to run in the 32-bit operating system. (Method: Click your original file, and then click on the right key to select "Properties" from the pop-up menu, you can see the version number of the files) If your original file is just corrupted but not lost, then please check the version number of your files. If you know MD5 value of the required files, it is the best approach to make choice Tip: How to correctly select the file you need As a file viewer, Bridge supports and more accurately displays more file types than the built-in file browsers do, so that’s a plus for LrC users. One purpose is a tool for viewing the contents of folders on your system. That said, it is not (necessarily) integrated with LrC, so don’t go looking for an “open in Lightroom Classic” menu in Bridge.įile browsers of all types mentioned here serve two broad purposes. Adobe Bridge is designed to be “the bridge” between all of Adobe’s various multi-media software tools, so it has to be able to handle all of those various file types correctly.įurthermore, because it is Adobe’s own software it is well integrated into products like Photoshop, illustrator, Premiere Pro, and so on, which can facilitate certain tasks with those products. If you’ve ever looked at a folder of raw files, PDFs, videos, PSDs, etc., with your operating system’s file browser and only seen icons instead of thumbnails depicting each file’s contents, then you’ve experienced the limitations of that file browser. That said, because it is Adobe’s file browser it is designed to be able to correctly display and handle all of the variety of media files creative people might have on their machines. What is Bridge?Īdobe Bridge is simply a file browser just like Finder on a Mac or File Explorer on Windows. This makes you smarter, gives you more options for managing your files, and helps you maximize the value of your Creative Cloud subscription plan. However, I think that it is possible to be made aware of the potential pitfalls of using Bridge and LrC so that you can avoid them while also adding another useful tool to your photographic toolbox. Now, the safe advice to all new LrC users is to simply not ever use Bridge, and it is true that not using Bridge will help avoid the self-inflicted injury that can come from moving folders and photos around outside of LrC. After all, if you have the Creative Cloud Photography plan subscription to get access to Photoshop and LrC, then you get Bridge as part of the deal. I think it is safe to say that the majority of people using Lightroom Classic (LrC) have access to Adobe Bridge as well.

My husband, Neal, has been playing a lot of remastered titles that originally came out in the late 90’s/early 2000’s, and Fantasian fits right in this category. This experience makes Fantasian play like a regular console game, aside from the second screen on the table that occasionally draws my eyes when a bright graphic flashes. After about 15 hours of playing on the iPad with the controller, I figured out how to mirror my iPad to the television. I still don’t understand how people play games like this on their phone, but you have that option as well. The touch controls are great, so if that’s what you prefer you shouldn’t have any issues playing Fantasian right on your iPad. Much like computer games, I was only able to use the touch controls for a few hours before I started searching how to connect my PS4 controller to my iPad. Moving to the gameplay, you have two options: play using the touch screen or connect a controller. Whenever I’m in this area, I’m brought back to my childhood days of playing old Sonic games and Minesweeper on the computer at my Nana’s house. Another area has a backing track that I swear someone took a recording of the old internet connection noises and added music on top of it. At one point, I could taste the salt water, it’s that realistic. The track is most definitely a real recording of seagulls on the beach. In the harbor of the city of water Vence (which is clearly such a hard nod to Venice – I always read Vencian as Venician), there is a track of seagulls calling. There are a few areas where the background noises made me especially nostalgic. To see this kind of immersion in a miniature set and pair it with video game exploration, it is truly unlike anything I’ve ever seen.įantasian’s score is catchy and immersive, with different tracks playing in different areas of the map. The developer studio brought onboard veterans who had worked on miniature set projects such as Godzilla films and Attack on Titan. The details of the areas are exquisite, from the different biomes to the large sprawling cities to intricate bed chambers. Anyway, back to Fantasian.)Ī quick Google search confirmed by suspicion, the backgrounds to all of the areas of Fantasian are hand-crafted dioramas, and there are almost 160 of them. George Lucas is revolutionary, and the most passionate film maker I’ve ever seen. It’s honestly a small miracle that Star Wars even exists at all. It’s called the Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy, and it’s amazing. (Side note, I highly recommend the documentary for any Star Wars/movie buffs. I had also just watched the making of Star Wars documentary on Disney+, so I knew talented people could do amazing things with dioramas. When I reached the first forest, I knew I recognized the look of the trees from one of my middle school diorama projects. By contrast, the main character and townsfolk had a familiar JRPG look. The town was beautifully created, but it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a video game. Right away, I thought something seemed strange about the background graphics. I’m going to start with the graphics because that is what immediately caught my attention. While the story may be a little cliché, Fantasian is well executed and continues to keep me intrigued. From the graphics and music to the character design and gameplay, it hits all the right spots. The title I’ve been obsessed with for over a week now is Fantasian.įantasian does so many things right.
