Press restore to pause during play, then restore to unpause or fire to quit to the menu. The game is NTSC-compatible, however there may be more flickering in later levels than on a PAL system by virtue of having significantly less CPU cycles per frame. You have just three lives between you, however the final life can only be lost by the player who has the lowest score at the time. Work together to clear the waves while competing for the best score. 2-Player ModeĪs an added bonus you can now play Galaga in two-player co-op mode. I don't think it detracts from the gameplay too much, as the main action is concerned with spawning and diving enemies anyway. So I decided that if enemies were drawn using characters when in formation, and sprites used elsewhere, there would be plenty of sprites available using a slightly modified version of Shallan's multiplexor. Having looked at the NES version more closely I noticed that the formation doesn't move smoothly like it does in the arcade. However, the highly-rated NES conversion managed to squeeze it into 224 pixels, so all I needed to do was open up the top and bottom borders for sprites and use 12 or more pixels in each to make up the difference.Īnother big hurdle is the sheer number of sprites. One obstacle of a decent Galaga port is the C64's aspect ratio, with the screen just 200 pixels tall compared to the Arcade's 288. So I thought it would be nice to be able to play it on my favourite machine. This is one of my all-time favourite games, if ever I've got 5 or 10 minutes spare for a game I will always choose Galaga.

In early replies on Threads, Zuckerberg said making the app “a friendly place" will be a key to success - adding that that was “one reason why Twitter never succeeded as much as I think it should have, and we want to do it differently.” IS TWITTER SEEKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST META?Īccording to a letter obtained by Semafor on Thursday, Twitter has threatened legal action against Meta over Threads. “Threads” can run up to 500 characters - compared with Twitter’s 280-character threshold - and can include links, photos and videos up to five minutes long. Users can repost, reply to or quote a thread, for example, and can see the number of likes and replies that a post has received. Threads' microblogging experience is very similar to Twitter. Still, Proulx added, maintaining momentum and continuing to capture user attention past the initial curiosity bump will be crucial down the line - noting “the long term nature of threads is what’s going to ultimately predict its success or failure.” HOW IS THREADS SIMILAR TO TWITTER? “That’s one of the reasons why Threads got over 10 million people to sign up in just a seven hour period” after launching. “It’s piquing (user) curiosity,” Proulx said, noting that Instagram users are getting alerts about their followers joining Threads - causing more and more people to sign up. While this may receive some pushback, VP and research director at Forrester Mike Proulx said making Threads an extension of Instagram was a smart move on Meta’s part. If you want to access Threads, you will have to sign up for Instagram first. According to Threads’ supplemental privacy policy, you can deactivate your profile at any time, “but your Threads profile can only be deleted by deleting your Instagram account.” CAN I USE THREADS IF I DON'T HAVE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT?įor now, only Instagram users can create Threads accounts. Your username and verification status will carry over, according to the platform, but you will also have options to customize other areas of your profile - including whether or not you want to follow the same people that you do on Instagram.īecause Threads and Instagram are so closely linked, it's also important to be cautious of account deletion. Threads was built by the Instagram team, so Instagram users can log into Threads through their Instagram account. Threads is now available for download in Apple and Google Android app stores for people in more than 100 countries. Here's what you need to know about Threads. But Meta's new app has also raised data privacy concerns, and is notably unavailable in the European Union. Threads, which Meta says provides "a new, separate space for real-time updates and public conversations," arrives at a time when many are looking for Twitter alternatives to escape Elon Musk's raucous oversight of the platform since acquiring it last year for $44 billion. New arrivals to the platform include celebrities like Oprah, pop star Shakira and chef Gordon Ramsay - as well as corporate accounts from Taco Bell, Netflix, Spotify, the Washington Post and other media outlets. Scheduling Night Shiftĭefault Scheduling: The default schedule is until the next day. Within the ‘Night Shift’tab, you can customize the color warmth of the night shift between ‘Less Warm’ and ‘More Warm’ by moving the toggle towards the side of your choice. Now, a ‘Built-In Display’ window would appear. In the same ‘Display’ box where you chose dark mode and night shift, click on the ‘Display Preferences’ option at the bottom of this box. If you want to change the brightness and warmth of the ‘Night Shift’ you can customize the color temperature. You can also sleep better after using your Mac on night shift. It is much more soothing on the eyes and not as awakening as the non-night-shift mode. Night Shift is great if you’re working/reading/watching something right before going to bed or doing any of these to fall asleep in the first place. To enable night mode, or in Mac’s language, the ‘Night Shift’, just click on the ‘Night Shift’ icon right next to the ‘Dark Mode’ button. The dark mode would now darken the entire background of your Mac. In the same ‘Display’ box, click on the ‘Dark Mode’ icon to instantly switch to dark mode. You can click on the option, the arrow, or even the icon, just not the slider, of course. In the control’s drop-down, click on the ‘Display’ option. Pull down the top menu bar and click on the newly updated ‘Control Centre’ icon on the top right corner of the screen. Read on to know how you can instantly enable dark mode and night shift, as per your mood. It’s incredibly easy to toggle between these two modes with the new update, the Big Sur. You want to be able to instantly switch between the light and dark mode on your laptop. You’re working in the dark, and the light radiating from your Mac background is straining your sight. Perhaps I should indicate some light and shade, but what's the use complicating my problem. Bonnard recalled visiting Matisse's studio either in 1910 or 1911 and asking him why he painted his figures all one color, uninflected and without any tonal modeling, to which Matisse replied, "I know the sky throws a blue reflection on the figures and the grass a green one. Not only was the motif of the open window to assume a pivotal position in Bonnard's output, but it was following the acquisition of the present painting that Bonnard's palette began to take on the higher-keyed, more intense and expressive character that has been so highly valued by subsequent generations of artists. It is particularly notable that the present work, which shows Collioure looking inland and dates from 1911, Matisse's annus mirabilis of paintings of interiors, was acquired shortly after it execution by Pierre Bonnard, in whose collection it remained until his death. The window in this iconic painting represents the momentous opening to a new way of painting, a gateway to possibilities in expression that Matisse and other artists had just begun to explore. With shutters opened and thrown back, the dazzling light of a new day streams in and sets the room ablaze with color, as fresh sea breezes aerate and refresh interior spaces. The most apt symbol for early modernism, the momentous transformation that took place in the arts during the first decade of the 20th century, is perhaps the window, and particularly as Matisse painted the window of his room in Collioure during the Fauve summer of 1905 (fig. "He knows what he is doing and he manages to do it the first time." Pierre Bonnard, the first owner of La fenêtre ouverte, on Matisse. “Creativity takes courage.Wanda de Guébriant has confirmed the authenticity of this painting. “I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it.” – Henri Matisse Otherwise, you have cacophony.” – Henri Matisse “It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other colors must also react on one another. “What interests me most is neither still life nor landscape: it is the human figure.” – Henri Matisse “I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me.” – Henri Matisse But the essential thing is to put oneself in a frame of mind which is close to that of prayer.” – Henri Matisse I think, really, I’m some sort of Buddhist. “I don’t know whether I believe in God or not. There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted. “I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have the light joyousness of springtime, which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me.” – Henri Matisse “What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity, devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter, an art which could be for every mental worker, for the businessman as well as the man of letters, for example, a soothing, calming influence on the mind, something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.” – Henri Matisse Here are a few Matisse paintings of Nice as a tribute to the city. I’m sure they would be just heartbroken as the rest of us at the recent attack on people just trying to enjoy a Bastille Day evening of fireworks. Nice was the subject of paintings for many famous artists including Raoul Dufy and Henri Matisse. Growers will also want to adjust their shearing practices to avoid moving spores into other plantations. Photo credit: Jan Byrne, MSU Diagnostic Services. Several fungicide products with chlorothalonil, mancozeb or copper are labeled for control. In rainy conditions, the spray interval may need to be shortened. Needle spots can appear on needles at any time of the year, but most commonly we find them during August and September when the tree suddenly turns brown just before harvest.īottom of Scotch pine trees browning in August-September.Įven though we see the symptoms in the fall, fungicide applications should be timed when the new needles are about half grown (May-June) and a second spray about three weeks later. Scirrhia acicola) is relatively new to Scotch pine in Michigan. Brown spot needle blightīrown spot needle blight ( Mycosphaerella dearnessii, syn. Repeat the application two or three times as needed at seven- to 10-day intervals. This year (2013), you might start earlier since trees are ahead of normal. To protect foliage from infection, apply a registered fungicide containing copper or mancozeb in mid-June through mid-July. The best protection of new needles can occur when applying copper-based materials as the new needles emerge from the needle sheaths and as the spores are released from the fruiting bodies. The black fruit bodies appear in the fall however, the spores are released the following spring and summer. New needles are susceptible once they emerge from the needle sheaths. The spores spread by wind and rain and can infect needles throughout the growing season. The black fruiting bodies of the fungus can be seen in the dead spots or bands on the needles. Photo credit: Jill O’Donnell, MSU Extension Needle tips turning brown on Austrian pine. These spots enlarge to form distinct brown to reddish-brown bands. The main symptom is dead needle tips beyond the yellow to tan needle spots. Recently, we have also found Dothistroma on white pine. This common pine pathogen kills needles of all ages and can weaken or kill Austrian pine trees. Dothistroma needle blightĭothistroma needle blight is caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella pini Rostr. Symptoms of these diseases are very similar and knowing the tree species and when you are seeing the symptoms can help you identify which one you may have.

Also winter injury can cause browing, usually in June. Several of the common vascular diseases are mentioned here, but properly belong in the stem and branch disease section. White pine blister rust is especially stem disease common. Wilting and browning needles often result from a disease of the tree's vascular system (trunk/branches), unseen under the bark. Eliminating insects, then a pathogen may be the next likely cause. Close examination of an affected needle (several samples are better) will usually show a lack of insect presence. Of course, these are symptoms similar to many insect infestations and nutrient stresses as well. Symptoms generally include browning, discoloration, small growths, and needle drop. Despite the structural and physiological defenses of a needle, pathogens frequently invade needles. Leaves hold a great amount of nutrients, sugars, and other food resources that attract a wide range of pathogens.

Note: the cheese should start to set soon after you remove it from heat. Once it’s lightly boiling, lower the heat and simmer the cheese to activate the agar for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened. Step 3: bring the cheese mixture to a low boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Then, add in the agar powder and blend it again to combine. Step 2: blend the mixture until it’s smooth ( make sure to stop and scrape down the sides a few times). After they’ve soaked, drain the nuts and place them in a high-speed blender or food processor with the vinegar, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, onion powder, salt, and water. Step 1: begin by soaking the almonds and cashews in room temperature water for about 12 hours, or overnight. If you have questions about making vegan queso fresco, don’t forget to check out our FAQ section at the bottom of this post. There’s lots of fancy jargon surrounding MCTs, but our motto has always been “everything in moderation.” Seems logical, right? Throw it all in your blender □ Instructions MCTs head straight to the liver to be used immediately for energy ( rather than store as fat). This is one of the reasons coconut oil is touted by many as a health food ( although, there’s a lot of controversy). Health: most dietary fats are long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), but coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). We use this saturated fat to help keep the cheese sturdy. Taste: refined coconut oil has no discernible flavor profile since it is “deodorized” with heat during processing. Health: although low in calories, agar contains a high amount of manganese, calcium, and iron, making it a great addition to this already nutrient-dense cheese. We use it in this recipe to give the cheese a bit more shape and structure. Taste: this flavorless gelatin substitute is made from 100% seaweed. We hope to never live in a world without vegan queso fresco Agar powder There are actually some nutrients in nuts that our bodies have trouble breaking down, which means we don’t absorb all the calories associated with them ( thanks body!). Health: almonds are extremely high in nutrients, boasting over 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein in a single ounce serving. By mixing almonds with cashews, we achieve the best of both worlds - creamy and crumbly vegan queso. We use them in this recipe for their crumbly texture. Taste: almonds have a slightly sweet, but rather neutral flavor. In other words, the calories can quickly add up if you’re not conscious about portion sizes. Although cashews are healthy, they’re high in fat ( 1 gram of fat = 9 calories). Health: since they’re high in omega 3’s, cashews play a huge role in reducing LDL cholesterol ( the bad kind). Once blended, they create a creamy texture that’s perfect to emulate the traditional queso fresco consistency. Taste: with a rich, mildly nutty flavor, cashews are extra sweet due to their high carbohydrate content.

ServingĪfter chilling this queso fresco, we like to crumble it on dishes like chilaquiles, bean tostaguacs, spaghetti ( verde or blanco), or elotes. As usual, it’s 100% cruelty-free, gluten-free, and straightforward to make. We wanted to make things as easy as possible since our goal is to share plant-based food that’s approachable and worthy of being added to your regular routine.īefore long, you’ll have a vegan queso that holds its shape well ( thanks to agar and coconut oil), but still has that classic crumble-ability of traditional queso fresco. We also simplified things for you by keeping our ingredient list in the single digits! You’ll notice queso fresco is described as a fresh, mild cheese, which we’ve really captured in this recipe. It’s used to garnish dishes like sopes, refried beans, enchiladas, papas a la mexicana, or black bean soup. Queso fresco is a staple in Mexican cuisine. So, we knew we needed to create a dairy-free version to add another classic into our Mexican cooking arsenal. Queso fresco is traditionally made from cow’s milk ( or a mix of cow and goat milk). For this reason, farmers made queso fresco ( fresh cheese), which was designed to be eaten within a few days of being made. We know you’re going to love this one! Historyīack when cheesemaking first started in Mexico, there wasn’t a maturing ( affinage) process or fridges to be found. It’s crucial for us to create recipes that are easy to make, don’t contain a ton of ingredients, and taste just like the real thing. Cheese is an integral part of Mexican cuisine as most recipes will have some type of cheese in it, on it, or by it!

# "dates" # This used to be floor.chron(). But my point is not to show you how cool this shorthand is, it is to show you how evil it can be. That isnât a case of simply executing as_timestamp(.next_dawn) - 86400 because that could get me yesterdays dawn time also.Īlso thanks to for suggesting that component it looks great however I donât think itâll fit my particular set of needs.# Need to improve consistency for preserving format and origin # attributes. Little-known fact: it also works with decimals, e.g.: DECLARE datetimevariable datetime CURRENTTIMESTAMP SET datetimevariable datetimevariable - 0.5 This subtracts 12 hours from the existing date/time value. As soon as todayâs dawn has passed, sun.sun sets next_dawn to tomorrowâs dawn, which is unusable for my purposes, as I need the dawn from today. a documentation explaining defaulting of missing fields when using date math parser. 14 chron: Create a Chronological Object chron-internal: Internal chron objects cut.dates: Create a Factor from a Chron or Dates Object dates: Generate Dates and Times Components from Input day.of.week: Convert between Julian and Calendar Dates days: Return Various Periods from a Chron or Dates Object format. This is the code Iâve resorted to to try to parse a sun time to a datetime object: Īs you can see, I take the next_dawn time from sun.sun and apply the time to today. Besides what kamyl said, answers should address the issue raised by the OP. We can use strptime to convert this into a date but that is far from easy - as strptime itself is quite limiting - it doesnât offer a parser for +00:00 as an offset, for example (it will only parse +0000). How does /d work Does 'now-1M/d' get me the start of this month, or should I use 'now-1M' to get the start of this month (Docs didn't help me much here.) I want to get hits beginning on the first of the current month. I read through the docs but couldn't get things working right. Part of the problem is that all attributes are strings so _dawn comes back as - for example âT16:51:12+00:00â. 1 I am having trouble with some date math. To give a concrete use case, I am tweening my light brightness between dawn and midday, then back down through midday to dusk, so that the lights ramp up and down throughout the day - mimicking the sun. So if you use a proper date format like yyyy-mm-dd according ISO 8601 you can use VBA to split that string put it into a real date variable using DateSerial and calculate with that to finally return a string. In date math, the number 0 and the date are interchangeable.
