![]() ![]() Quality = n/a Previous Chapter Next Chapter Overall, one of Pinkie Pie's best appearances as a character that deserved a much better episode.Chapter 6: Important pls read. The lack of proper consequence was borderline illogical and far too pat. Actually felt like the conflict was not much of one and what there was lacked tension and surprises, as well as being too silly. The running gags tend to be tiresome, too silly (not what one expects when you see how maturely Pinkie Pie and her conflict is handled) and quite repetitive after a while. Their subplot goes way too far on the insanity and contrivances and lacks tension. So underdeveloped they were near-irrelevant. Did not like the characters themselves, their actions were one-dimensional and extreme with not much of a reason, and it was a reason that was very difficult to take seriously, and little is done to set them apart from each other or flesh them out. Almost all of it to do with the Yaks subplot, which was executed near-disastrously. She is immensely humorous here but she also shows that there is much more to her than comedy relief that had not been seen before in the season's previous episodes, due to having a character conflict that was engaging, touching and relatable. The best asset of the episode was the characterisation of Pinkie Pie in her best and most interesting appearance by far of Season 5 up to this point of it and perhaps her best and most interesting appearance since "Pinkie Pride". The message was a unique one for the show, or certainly at that point it was with it having not been attempted before in the previous episodes, and handled with force yet tact. Twilight is fun and actually really related to her worrying, being a notorious worrier myself. The secret party planning cave was cool and insightful, loved seeing how she worked as a friend. There are some great jokes and funny dialogue, most of which belonging to Pinkie Pie and her best material is hilarious. All the voice acting is excellent, with Andrea Libman's nuanced Pinkie Pie getting the top honours. The music has nice atmosphere and character, again as usual. The colours are always vibrant and beautifully varied, the backgrounds are fine detailed without looking too sparse or cluttered and the facial expressions and reactions are creative visually. The episode is beautifully animated, which is not a surprise as that was a near consistent good thing. "Party Pooped" has a number of good things and they shall be mentioned first. "Party Pooped" does wonders with Pinkie Pie, but was severely flawed when it came to the conflict. It is a big improvement over the disappointing previous episode "Princess Spike" which again made a mess of Spike and came over as mean-spirited, but at the same time it is no "Slice of Life", a wonderful love letter milestone to the show. It is not one of my favourite 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' episodes and isn't even one of my favourites of Season 5. ![]() But on the most part she was one of the funnier characters of the show and the show had quite a few instances where they flesh out Pinkie Pie very well, regardless of the state of everything else. She may not be likeable in every episode and she has episodes where she is annoying or if negative character traits are overwritten (although a fan, that was not uncommon in 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'). ![]()

Just wanted to add that for full disclosure.Ĭlick to expand.Well, when I think of Create, web publishing is third on my list of it's strengths (with illustration and page layout coming in first and second).īut maybe you can tell us what features you feel are missing. I did some pages in OPENSTEP, but most were done in either Rhapsody or Mac OS X. This is because my OPENSTEP system has far more limited space and it is supposed to be used as a school resource. * It should be noted that I didn't hold myself to the same standard with the NeXT section of my site. I know I wouldn't push a product that I didn't actually use. The Quick Start Guide for this software may not seem like much, but using the software to make it would have shown faith in their application. and to show that Rhapsody can be used productively. To give you an example of this philosophy, everything on my Rhapsody Resource Page (almost 120 pages) was created using only Rhapsody computers*. The thing is, I put together How Tos and the like all the time in Create (which is a combination page layout, illustration and web design app) using the same features (just more developed). ![]() Hopefully, Swift Publisher will push Apple to develop Pages.app FASTER, or maybe kill it?Ĭlick to expand.Well, I emphasized the features that would have been needed to put together the two page Quick Start Guide.

About 60 professionally designed templates for different types of documents (flyers, newsletters, brochures, letterheads, cards, menus, etc). I tested it, and I confirm the following description: However it seems to be a strong competitor for Pages.app. As a 1.0 app, the brand new Swift Publisher ( ) certainly lacks a few editing features, like the ones we use in long complex documents. ![]() ![]() ![]() Such a shift in perception had subtle ramifications in many sectors: for instance, book publishers enjoyed an increased demand for reading material by train travelers, as something they could easily and at length give their attention to and focus their eyes on. The modes of perception formed by traditional travel were thus thrown into crisis by the need for an entirely new perceptual posture, one that could enable enjoyment or at least tolerance of the new landscape created by the railroad. What Schivelbusch terms the “panoramic gaze”-the ability to look out into the distance and enjoy the passing landscape-had at first to be gradually developed. The speed of the train precluded the ability to focus on aspects of the landscape around them for any great length of time, and many early passengers often became physically distressed or even ill as a result of their exposure to the rapid change of impressions while looking out the railcar window. The denizens of the nineteenth century, who were used to traveling by stagecoach or horseback (and consequently had time to "savor" their journey and contemplate the surrounding landscape), suddenly found themselves remarkably dissociated from their surroundings while sitting in a railcar. The railroad knows only points of departure and destination. That in-between, or travel space, which it was possible to 'savor' while using the slow, work-intensive eotechnical form of transport, disappeared on the railroads. N the one hand, the railroad opened up new spaces that were not as easily accessible before on the other, it did so by destroying space, namely the space between points. Thus, Schivelbusch describes two contradictory sides of the same process: Additionally, as the railroad network expanded and its reach lengthened, ever more distant places became newly and widely accessible. The diminished time it took to cross the distance between two spatial locations (such as two cities) by railway meant that these locations no longer seemed so distant, even though the distance between them remained unaltered. Schivelbusch notes that the “annihilation of space and time” was the early nineteenth-century characterization of the effect of railroad travel, due to the speed the new means of transportation was able to achieve. Per the publisher, "Schivelbusch discusses the ways in which our perceptions of distance, time, autonomy, speed, and risk were altered by railway travel." In other words, Schivelbusch describes how the railroad not only transformed the natural landscape but also our very perceptual experience of nature itself.

Leaves of the lingonberry plant contain a good quantity of arbutin which is known to treat hyperpigmentation and age spots. Thus lingonberries prevent hyperpigmentation and also help to lighten dark spots and scars on your skin, providing you with an even-toned complexion. These berries also have a high amount of Vitamin E, which further boosts the skin lightening effects. Arbutin present in lingonberries inhibits the effect of tyrosinase, an enzyme that is needed for the synthesis of melanin. Melanin is the natural pigment present in your skin, the overproduction of which can cause hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone. A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry has shown that lingonberry extract can guard your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays which can lead to photodamage to your skin. Some of the most potent antioxidants are present in lingonberries which protect your skin from damage caused by the sun, toxins and pollutants. ![]() Lingonberry extract also regulates the production of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins integrin and collagen in your skin which helps to keep your skin firm and prevents it from sagging. Studies have shown that lingonberries enhance the elasticity of your skin significantly. Lingonberries can prevent and reverse several signs of ageing like loss of skin elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles, etc. Thus adding lingonberries to skincare makes your skin look soft and supple. The phytonutrients in these berries also help in maintaining a healthy skin barrier.Ī healthy skin barrier protects your skin from the harmful external environment and also prevents the loss of water and essential nutrients from the surface of the skin. The lingonberries’ seed oil is a rich source of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids which helps to retain hydration and moisture in your skin. Additionally, lingonberries are often used in gardens as they also make a great ground cover. They have a taste that’s sour, tart and a bit sweet - probably very much like the taste of raw cranberries.Ĭontaining powerful rich antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C and magnesium, you may find it in cough syrups or as a treatment for blood disorders and urinary tract infections. ![]() Lingonberries are very popular in numerous forms and products, like wines, liqueurs, syrups, lingonberry jams and jellies, cheesecakes, cocktails, soufflés and sherbet, ice cream, pickles and candies. Similar to the bearberry, lingonberries contain certain phytochemicals that can do wonders for health, skin and hair. Usually consumed whole or as lingonberry juice, the quercetin and proanthocyanidin, also found in the cranberry, give it such a positive boost for the body. This small but powerful berry contains several medicinal and nutritional benefits. ![]() If you’re searching for a super berry, the lingonberry takes the stage since it’s fully loaded with antioxidants and body-enhancing phytonutrients.

By comparison, on the PS4, Okami doesn’t feel as fluid or as natural. When the game launched on the Wii, it was an absolute treat for its fans, since painting in the game using actual motion controls made it that much more immersive and responsive. It must be said, however, that the controls end up feeling finicky on a few occasions. "This mix of melee combat and using your paintbrush makes for a combat system that is unlike anything you’ll see in a game, and is one of the many things that helps Okami stand out." ![]() This mix of melee combat and using your paintbrush makes for a combat system that is unlike anything you’ll see in a game, and is one of the many things that helps Okami stand out. When you aren’t using your paintbrush during combat, melee attacks are nimble and snappy, and pulling off combos is extremely satisfying. ![]() There’s a number of techniques to learn for your paintbrush too, so Okami always manages to keep things interesting. While thanks to your limited and depleting inkpot reserves you can’t whip out your paintbrush whenever you wish, meaning that combat isn’t all about painting, it’s still a central mechanic.įor instance, you can draw traps and hazards for your enemies to fall into, which is something that comes in handy during especially tough battles, such as during times when you might be outnumbered, or during some of the game’s more challenging boss battles. It’s on the combat side of things that the use of the paintbrush becomes truly interesting. It’s simple and effective, always entertaining but, sadly, never quite challenging. Paint the sun to change night to day, draw a circle around a tree- things like that. The puzzles aren’t mind-benders or anything, and the answers to the questions the game poses are usually simple and snappy. You do that, of course, with the help of your celestial paintbrush, making use of it in all walks of the game, from the puzzles to the combat. You play as Ameterasu, who’s taken the form of a white wolf, and who, with the help of spirit companion Issun, must bring back life and colour to a dying world. "More than anything else, the game looks like a beautiful painting in motion, with beautiful embellishments and animations further helping bring this incredibly beautiful world to life."īut the canvas-style look of Okami isn’t part of the game just because it looks as good as it does- no, it’s intrinsically tied to everything that makes Okami… Okami. In fact, on the PS4 Pro, the game is rendered in 4K resolution, which makes the game look even more beautiful than its base version. On top of that, the visual enhancements that Okami HD has received are also top notch, with everything looking sharper and crisper. Even the tiniest little things such as the trees or the buildings have the kind of unique personality to them that you don’t expect to see in a video game all too often. Every area you visit is crafted with great care, every character you meet designed with great love. ![]() More than anything else, the game looks like a beautiful painting in motion, with beautiful embellishments and animations further helping bring this incredibly beautiful world to life.

Okami may have been something of a commercial failure when it first launched on the PS2 back in 2006, but, as the few people who played it then will testify, it rightly went down as one of the greatest games of its generation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Amidst the chaos of a round, those types of callouts usually work.

While handsets from most major smartphone brands have already been updated to Android 10 and beyond, this guide could be useful for you in case you have an old 3 or 4-year-old smartphone that is still running Android 8 or Android 9. As of January 2021, more than 43 percent of Android devices were running software based on Android 10. Android 10 also - for the first time on Android - bought the scoped storage system that essentially prohibits apps from accessing files unrelated to them without explicit user consent.Īndroid 10, since its release nearly two years ago, has been succeeded by Android 11, which as of this writing, is the newest stable version of Android. There were several improvements made on the privacy aspects, with users getting control on restricting apps access to location and other data. The OnePlus7T - announced in the same month - was the first (new) phone to roll out with Android 10 pre-installed.Īndroid 10 was released in September 2019 and has since then been succeeded by Android 11/ © AndroidPITĪndroid 10 bought several improvements over Android 9, including a completely revamped gesture-based navigation system and much sought-after support for system-wide dark mode. Other smartphones that were included in the list of phones that got the first taste of Android 10 included Xiaomi's Redmi K20 Pro (in select markets) and the Essential Phone.

Looking forward, Omni is introducing integration between Omni Automation on the iPhone and iPad. When macOS 12 “Monterey” launched in October, Omni was ready with Shortcuts support on the Mac, including integration between Shortcuts and Omni Automation. ![]() In addition to working hard on OmniFocus 4, Omni introduced updates to OmniFocus 3 that leverage new features introduced in iOS/iPadOS 15, including Live Text and Focus. To keep your finger on the pulse of OmniFocus 4 developments, I recommend following Ken Case on Twitter for further information as details of the launch come into focus. In the meantime, we’re hard at work behind the scenes preparing to deliver in-depth OmniFocus 4 articles, videos, courses and LIVE sessions to help you benefit from all that OmniFocus 4 has to offer. This will be followed by other milestones, namely Design Freeze, Usability, Stability & Performance, Documentation, and Localization. The roadmap didn’t include a specific OmniFocus 4 release date, but Ken Case shared on Twitter that the release is slated for “later this year.” He added that Omni expects to reach the Feature Freeze milestone this week. ![]() Omni first introduced this redesigned licensing system for OmniPlan 4, and OmniFocus 4 will leverage this development. It will no longer be necessary to purchase OmniFocus on each platform. This means that you’ll be able to purchase an OmniFocus 4 license and use it with your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Ken Case confirmed that OmniFocus 4 will be shipped simultaneously on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.įor the first time ever, OmniFocus 4 will be a Universal product. Omni is leveraging the benefits of SwiftUI, supporting their primary goal of “improving the flow of using OmniFocus.” Moving forward, the adoption of SwiftUI will also make it easier to provide feature parity across iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions of OmniFocus. OmniFocus 4 is built on SwiftUI, a technology from Apple that helps developers, in Apple’s words, “build great-looking apps across all Apple platforms.” The benefits of using SwiftUI will continue to be realized as Apple evolves this underlying technology with each OS update. Ken shared that this feedback prompted Omni to experiment with both the form and function of OmniFocus 4 and encouraged innovation. Since then, over 7,000 testers have accepted Omni’s invitation to join the OmniFocus 4 TestFlight and have been encouraged to provide feedback on all aspects of this major new version. ![]() OmniFocus 4 for iPhone and iPad has come a long way since we shared a first look in May 2021. Here are some highlights from Ken’s post that will be of particular interest to OmniFocus users. This post continues the annual tradition of celebrating highlights from the past year and provides a peek at what’s in store for the year ahead.
