Combo Step 2: While inside your Circle, quickly throw Meteor and Magic Shot (Tap once to face mobs if your character is facing the wrong direction). Combo Step 1: Gather mobs > Move or Dash away a little > Face Mobs > Force Circle (you need a space for Force Circle, using it right in-front of strong mobs isn't safe) (Useful for Farming Gold/Grinding/Monster Waves) Combo: Force Circle > Meteor > Magic Shot > Blizzard Chapter 4 (White Turrets): To beat them easily, place your Mage on their lower left or upper right quadrant, then snipe them using normal attacks. Some players doesn't like DEF Increase, but I highly recommend it for survivability until mid or late game. The bonuses of the 2 passive skills above isn't great early game but it will be very helpful as you go higher. ![]() Situational Skills: Clone Explosion and Mana Shield.

Magician Skills: Meteor-Blizzard AoE Build - Important Note! - Due to the new revamped skills update, the skill build below is not 100% working. I will update this guide once they release the final patch notes of the revamped Skills and Stats.īy default, skill sets below are focused for PVE or leveling purposes. When resetting Stats, I highly suggest you check the stats available per item gear here: Magician Stat Reset Guide Evasion: This depends on personal preference, if you like it, just cap it to at least 50% to 100% ( Evasion+%, DEX+), increase if you need more at higher levels. If you are a PVP enthusiast, you need to increase this more, unless the meta changes and everyone drops their Evasion. Accuracy: Only increase if you miss a lot in PvE, or increase to around 200+ to 250+ for PVP purposes ( Accuracy+, DEX+, Stamina+). Aim for at least 1600+ DEF for Chapter 9 Hero Mode ( Stamina+, DEF+). Your "DEF Increase" passive skill will start to give great bonuses at this point too. DEF: Just upgrade your gears to get the DEF bonuses. It is also ok to cap this one to 100% to 200% if you want, to focus more on other stats. CRIT DMG: as high as possible, aim for 100%+ around Lvl 40, then 200%+ around Lvl 50, and 250%+ around Lvl 60. CRIT RATE: just cap it around 100% ( INT+, CRIT RATE+%), increase if you need more, but do not exceed beyond 200%. HP: as high as possible ( Stamina+, HP+). ATK: as high as possible ( INT+, ATK+). Reminder: Upgrade your gears (especially weapon), battle pets (summon for boss fights), fairies, increase awakening stars, and upgrade some Seals. Note that monsters from here on are stronger than before so it is normal to grind if you get stuck.

Download it to your mac or windows pc and then on Synology's Package Center choose "Manual Install" and browse to install the file just downloaded onto your computer. install the Java 8 upgrade (When I tried this last week from Package Center it didn't install the latest version!) I found it manually on Mimimserver's website, the page "Downloading Java" Make sure to download the Linux version. Don't install other programs, setup hibernation, extra users etc. first update the DSM package to the latest 6.0 (which just came out last week) So if nobody else brings a good next step, I'd suggest in this order: ![]() JCRĪs so often with software problems, the a fresh install often solves the issue without ever fully knowing what went wrong. All functioning perfectly again after getting the right Java 8 installed. I have a separate Android tablet I bought just for that use at home. I assume you aren't trying to control on an iOS device, as BubbleuPnP functions only on Android. The BubbleuPnP team wrote me that there are both an OpenJDK and an Oracle version of Java and you need to use the Oracle version to get the http/https network to work. I got it working with v8 upgrade 77, which shows itself in Synology package center as 8.0.60-0010. For me, it was the issue of uninstalling Java 7 and having the correct version of Java 8 installed. With an update to the Synology DSM firmware 6.0-7321 last week, my BubbleuPnP/Minimserver/OH setup stopped functioning on my Synology DS1813+. Unfortunately, they disappear from the mobile devices quite quickly and never have shown up on the Amazon Fire Stick TV. I couldn't get it configured so it would pass the Internet access test, but it does allow the occasional appearance of the Media Server and Logitech on the Bubbleupnp app on the mobile devices when they are on the local network, either in their own right or by proxy. I have Bubbleupnp Server on the Synology. I did those things, yes, although I since have uninstalled minimserver because it also was undetected by the mobile apps and the controller app that I needed to run on my computer. I can't imagine that DLNA failures are routine with these devices, as I otherwise would find discussion of them all over the Internet, so I wonder what you all are doing that I am failing to do. I know Synology devices are popular with CA readers. I am confident that I have the DSM settings for DLNA set correctly.įrankly, DLNA functionality is not a big deal, since I don't really need to use a Upnp DLNA controller that often, but I do want to be certain that my device works as intended. ![]() I wonder if there is something that I need to do on my router to make the NAS available - something I never had to do with the Buffalo. Those apps work fine on my phones and tablets, but they aren't available for the Amazon Fire TV Stick and my Vortexbox. The Synology recommendation was that I use the Synology mobile apps and not stress over the media server itself. ![]() I reviewed Synology's forums, found nothing helpful, and contacted their tech support. Even when I do that, however, none of my controllers - 8player, vlc, Plugplayer, Arkmc, BubbleUPnP - can see the NAS at all or, if it does, literally for just a minute and without ever playing any music. In contrast, the Synology seems to require me to specify which DLNA clients it can reach, the subspecies of DLNA each uses, and seemingly more. That is not a bad thing, to this extent: its media server, without doing a thing beyond scanning the library, showed up routinely as a server on all my controller apps. It seemingly has fewer options and supported applications. In comparison to the Synology, the Buffalo was a simple, if not primitive, device. The Synology also offered greater horsepower and native LMS and Plex support. I had no major issues with the Buffalo but needed to increase the hdd capacity behind 4tb per drive and Buffalo does not support that capacity officially. I just replaced a Buffalo LS421DE with a Synology DS216+. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Microsoft excel for mac good bad![]() Some consider taking an Excel workshop or some reach out to tech professionals for guidance. However, it should be noted that because Excel is so feature-rich, some users are overwhelmed trying to master the use of all these dynamic tools. Excel offers so much creative control and attention to detail, some have even used the app to get downright artistic. Excel allows users to totally customize charts by changing the names of the x and y-axis, formatting the data cells and maximizing color-coding tools. The customization options are also endless. Furthermore, Excel offers users the ability to create charts of any kind including bar graphs, flow charts, pie charts, Gantt charts, line graphs, stock charts and more. It’s not limited to spreadsheet making either – users can even use Excel to automate and manage critical workflows and projects. It’s no secret that users can do pretty much anything with Microsoft Excel. This makes it easy to take advantage of free Google tools without leaving your spreadsheet. For instance, users can use formulas to connect with Google Translate or Google Finance directly from the Sheets platform. Additionally, Sheets is integrated with other Google solutions, making it easy for business users to take advantage of a variety of useful applications. In terms of compatibility, Sheets is fully integrated with Android, iOS, Windows and Mac OS X. Additionally – and in true Google fashion – Sheets has built-in auto-fill formulas that maximize productivity. The chat window allows users to discuss changes and offer feedback among project team members in real-time. Not only does Sheets allow users to collaborate on spreadsheets in real-time, it also comes with a built-in instant chat platform. However, that’s not to say that Sheets is totally basic – it does have some key functionality features that measure up to Microsoft. Additionally, Sheets doesn’t offer the ability to trace dependents or upload to other clients. However, because it’s so easy to use, it doesn’t have anywhere near as many features that Excel offers, including advanced scripting and formatting options and dynamic graph and picture creation options. So, let’s explore some of the other areas of functionality to see if Sheets is still a worthy competitor.Īs we know, Sheets was designed with collaboration, productivity, and ease-of-use in mind. However, since then, Microsoft has released a Cloud version of Excel that offers the same – if not better – collaborative features. While Excel’s native app was more powerful, Sheets made it easier to work on spreadsheets as a group. When Sheets first hit the scene, some people chose it over Excel because of this collaborative power. We take this function for granted now, but before Sheets, working on spreadsheets as a group was a huge pain. ![]() However, more recently Google Sheets has become popular because it was the first spreadsheet program that enabled users to collaborate in real-time. Round 1 – Functionality, Usability & FeaturesĪs noted, for a long time Microsoft Excel was really the only option when it came to a dynamic spreadsheet solution. Read on to see how Google Sheets measures up to Microsoft Excel when it comes to functionality, value, and security. We’ve decided to dig right in and explore the main differences between each app so our clients – and other business professionals – can make an informed decision when it comes to selecting a spreadsheet solution. When at face value, the apps seem so similar, many are probably thinking – why does it matter which one I use? However, there are some key differences between the capabilities of each app that business users should consider. Creating strategic standard operating procedures (SOPs).List making and generating keywords and code,.Storing, sorting, analyzing and filtering structured data,.However, first, let’s take a look at the key ways Excel and Sheets are similar.īoth spreadsheet solutions can be used for: We’ve created a guide to help us crown a winner once and for all. While they’re definitely not entirely the same, Excel and Sheets can be used in similar ways. Common Capabilities: The Basic Ways Google Sheets Holds Up to Microsoft Excel However, as software solutions continue to become more Cloud-based, Google Sheets has hit the market as a worthy opponent to the long-held Microsoft favorite. Since the beginning of technology for business, Microsoft Excel has been the obvious and reliable choice for business spreadsheet needs. Whether used to calculate financial details or organize company data, spreadsheets can help business owners stay productive, optimize work-flow and stay on track. Spreadsheets are used by nearly every modern business.

Also, the Berthold type foundry adopted the DIN typefaces for their optomechanical phototype setting systems such as Staromat. The transferable-lettering-sheet company, Letraset made several variants available in the 1970s. Note the different structure of the 'a' and how curved strokes do not thin as they connect, as at the join of the 'h'. Releases Ī sign in an older version of DIN Mittelschrift. In a similar vein, the International Standards Organisation developed its own derivative, Isonorm, in 1980. The sans-serif is similar to Gill Sans and to Johnston the serif reflects the classical Renaissance humanist model. Created by a group of designers that included Jan van Krimpen, the design has no similarity to the DIN standard: it is a humanist family with serif and sans-serif styles. Inspired by the DIN standard, a consortium of Dutch organisations created an equivalent lettering standard, NEN 3225. Although of a similar design, the DIN typefaces did not incorporate the elegance of this stylistic trend. At the Bauhaus, the use of coarse grids for designing typefaces was advocated by Herbert Bayer and Joost Schmidt during the Dessau period. Sans-serif lettering and typefaces styled around geometric shapes, along with Art Deco in general, was very popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The 1943 version of DIN 1451 added a set of Cyrillic characters, although their design did not match the weight and proportions of DIN Mittelschrift. During World War II, DIN 1451 was also adopted in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. They were released as celluloid lettering stencils for smaller applications, as larger metal stencils for application to machinery, vehicles and airplanes, and as cast metal lettering for street and building signage nevertheless, printing type conforming to DIN 1451 have never been produced. Within the scope of public and technical lettering, the use of the DIN 1451 typefaces spread rapidly once they were adopted. Stencils for lettering technical drawings to DIN standards The DIN Committee of Typefaces was headed by the Siemens engineer, Ludwig Goller (1884–1964), who also led the central standardization office at Siemens & Halske in Berlin, between 19. Then, as a byproduct of the 1920 consolidation of all German railway companies into the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the Prussian railway's typeface quickly became a de facto national standard, even before the DIN Committee of Typefaces took up its work on DIN 1451 a few years later. Ten years later, the company – by then, renamed Prussian-Hessian Railways – additionally required that signage lettering on railway platforms and station premises also be rendered according to the 1905 master template. This specification was published in a document known as Musterzeichnung ('master template', literally: 'pattern drawing') IV 44. The origins of DIN 1451 Engschrift ('condensed face') for hand lettering date back to 1905, when the Prussian state railways prescribed a standardized lettering style for use on all of its rolling stock. These were to be used in the areas of signage, traffic signs, wayfinding, lettering on technical drawings and technical documentation. It contained several standard typefaces for mechanically engraved lettering, hand-lettering, lettering stencils and printing types. ![]() In 1931, the DIN institute published DIN 1451. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Iphone quick menuIf you have iOS 11 or later, you can check the maximum capacity of your battery under Settings > Battery > Battery Health. Battery degradation affects the performance of your phone’s performance and ability to access enough juice to perform the tasks you need. Your phone’s battery life depends not only on time but also on how you use it. Your battery will drain faster and require more frequent charging as the battery’s capacity diminishes. It is estimated that the iPhone battery lasts 500 cycles before it starts to degrade, which means if you have owned your phone for two or more years, you will have charged enough cycles to degrade the battery to just 80% of its original capacity. It may take a day, two days, or even longer. It does not matter how long it takes since your battery will not be drained to 0% and then recharged to 100% daily. One cycle of a battery means draining it to 0% and completely recharging it to 100% once. Li-ion batteries are considered consumables.

The Light Between Oceans is no Hitchcock, nor is it about to be screened beside the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. Otherwise you're setting yourself up as someone who knows more about the world than Leonardo or Hitchcock." "Crying at a movie puts you in touch with emotions you would ordinarily suppress," Elkins said. Yes, Elkins explained, before modern movies came along to lead the charge, entire schools of painting and sculpture had been created for precisely this reason. In 2004, I interviewed James Elkins, an academic who wrote Pictures & Tears, a history of art that exists primarily to make people cry. The only way to relieve their wretchedness is to cut away from the action and return 25 years later, at which point one or two final indignities are tossed in for good measure. ![]() Let's just say the layers of tragedy that are heaped upon these characters create a Dagwood sandwich of misfortune. As surely as that lighthouse beam will swing round again, the baby's mother is certain to come looking for her - and in the fiercely distraught person of Rachel Weisz, no less.Īh, but I have ventured further into the plot than the trailer reveals.

What better perch to attempt escaping the demons no armistice can squelch? Tom has returned to his native Australia to become keeper of the most remote lighthouse the maritime nation has to offer. His thousand-yard stare, masterfully enacted by Michael Fassbender and studiously held for the film's entire length, betrays the horrors he has seen. The sorrow descends from the first frame, when we are greeted by the mournful eyes of Tom, a poor soul who has just emerged from four years in the slaughterhouse that was World War I. ![]() Because my wife's book club hasn't gotten around to that novel yet, I can only assume the tearjerker that started it all is likewise as rollicking as a mortician's funeral. Stedman's 2012 best-seller of the same name. This story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife who find a baby adrift in a dinghy and adopt it as their own - to say nothing of the heartbreaking circumstances that bookend their miraculous discovery - precipitates more than two hours of abject despondency in writer-director Derek Cianfrance's magnificently filmed, exquisitely acted new movie. 5/23/2023 0 Comments Pianoteq demo![]() One parameter that’s just plain fun to automate is the condition – play an intro on a neglected piano in need of tuning and service, and have it magically fix itself over 15 seconds. Sure, it’s not realistic, but for progressive house or complex pop mixes it can be perfect, and sound much more musical than suddenly switching piano sounds or gradually changing the sound via external effects. Then, as more layers of synthesizers come in, you can gradually change the soundboard impedance to reduce the sustain, harden the hammers to make it brighter, and reduce the hammer and pedal noises to zero. For a section which is just piano and voice, you can have a big, full sound with long sustain. The most appealing part for me, though, is being able to automate these parameters and have the piano morph during a track. Having modeled U87s is great, but it’d also be good to have some lower-end mics sometimes – for example a Shure SM58 or a lower-end consdenser so that you could put Pianoteq in a track with some home-recorded acoustic guitar and vocals and have it sound like it was recorded with similar equipment. For the microphones, you can choose between a nice array of high-end microphones and even two perfectly flat mics. ![]() are also included in the built-in effects). If you are a serious pianist or a producer, being able to tweak the piano setup and microphone positions right for a specific piece of music is great, and much more powerful than the tweaking you could do with an EQ (though EQ, compression, reverb etc. It’s important to note, though, that the string length parameter controls string length specifically, not the size of the entire piano – so making the strings ten meters long will reduce inharmonicity to near zero, but it will not change the whole piano model to an enormous monster with a cabinet and soundboard that would contain strings of that size. Pianoteq 5 Stage and the D4 user interface. So, if you want to tweak a piano’s setup to get it just right, you can do that, as well as some crazy things like making the strings ten meters long. You can also change some things in the realm of piano design, such as the length of the strings, the impedance of the soundboard and even the relative volume of the first eight overtones. After all, Modartt was founded by a piano tuner turned mathematician. The Standard version adds the ability to configure a lot of sound sculpting parameters, but rather than parameters familiar from synthesizers or effects, you can adjust things that a piano tuner could, such as the hardness of the felt on the hammers, the octave stretch or the width of the unison tuning. The Stage version offers dynamics and effects adjustments, and can load presets. The ability to tweak the sound is where Pianoteq really differs from the sampled competition, and also where the difference between the three versions lies. If a great piano is the main thing you’re after and the ability to sculpt the sound is secondary, the sampling or modeling decision is a matter of personal preference and requires testing. ![]() So, if you are in the market for a modern virtual piano, I’d definitely recommend trying the demo version and playing it yourself instead of only listening to audio demos. ![]() I also tried playing with it with a low-end 49-key MIDI controller with unweighted keys and audio interface latency set to maximum, and the difference is obvious even then. That makes sense as there are no sampled velocity layers here – the instrument responds differently to each of the possible 127 velocity values, and the response of neighboring notes is consistent. Others have described Pianoteq as feeling responsive, expressive or alive, but being a more technical person I’d say that it’s a feeling of confidence about the volume and tone color of every note as you’re playing it. It feels like it responds more naturally and accurately to velocity than any other piano I have. Playing with Pianoteq, the most impressive thing is how real it feels. More than just pianos, it can also model harps, bells, mallet instruments, harpsichords and even hammered dulcimers. It can work as a standalone application, VST, AU, AAX or RTAS plugin. 679 EUR gets you Pianoteq Studio which contains the Pro version plus all currently available instruments. Pianoteq 5.3 is the current version of their piano application, and it comes in three flavors – Stage (99 EUR), Standard (249 EUR) and Pro (399 EUR). Modartt have been developing a completely different approach in parallel – using sophisticated mathematical models to synthesize every note, and relying on samples only for hammer and pedal noises. There’s been quite an arms race in virtual pianos over the past fifteen years, with some sampled pianos now featuring tens of thousands of samples and exceeding 100 GB of data. 5/23/2023 0 Comments Time sink meaning![]() GQ even praised the style as one of five “Best Grooming Moments of the Week”.
