![]() Patterns ranged from totally abstract compositions to bold, repeating designs organized around stylized images of familiar objects. Fabric designers looked to the work of painters such as Jackson Pollock, Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí for inspiration to create colorful, expressive patterns used in clothing, as well as upholstery fabric, draperies, area rugs, and wallpaper. ![]() Trends in the art world also provided fuel for igniting changes in the appearance of fabrics. Hemlines were also drastically dropped, and numerous yards of extra material – considered by many to be outrageous after the severity of earlier restrictions – were added to maximize the effect. Shoulder lines became more natural and rounded, bust lines were emphasized, waistlines were minimized, and hips were exaggerated to create “tulip” and “teacup” curves, completing the look. These shapes are similarly reflected in metal work, glass, and ceramics produced during the period.Ĭhristian Dior’s New Look translated these trends into clothing that enhanced the inherent beauty of the female body. In their designs for functional yet modern furniture and appliances, Charles Eames, George Nelson and others took advantage of unusual materials to emphasize shape and line including curves, tapered forms and hourglass shapes. The mobiles of Alexander Calder, with their moving, changing shapes, were especially popular. Essentially, the function of an object could be enhanced by a more adventurous expression of form, making it more visually satisfying.Īrchitects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Aero Saarinen used curves and arches to express the creative potential of pure line. The basic concept of the New Look mirrored in many ways the concepts behind designs for architecture, sculpture and decorative arts of the late 1940s and 1950s. “Was he mad, this man? Was he making fun of women? How, dressed in “that thing,” could they come and go, live or anything?” – Coco Chanel “A dress is a piece of ephemeral architecture, designed to enhance the proportions of the female body.” – Christian Dior, 1947 Spreading quickly through the Allied nations, yet fraught with controversy, the New Look was immediately adopted by American designers and their eager clients. His collection was presented for the world to see in the February 1947 issue of Vogue magazine, complete with articles describing the features of his designs. ![]() By 1946, Christian Dior was sketching ideas for fashions that reintroduced the concepts of femininity and luxury in clothing. The end of World War II brought major changes to the industry. designers such as Claire McCardell and Gilbert Adrian focused on sportswear and ready-to-wear clothes with a fresh, yet functional “American Look.” ![]() Working within the limits of the War Production Board’s garment restrictions, U.S. In occupied France, the German-controlled fashion houses lacked the inspiration previously enjoyed – and often copied – by the industry. They’re quite wonderful, you know.” – Carmel Snow, February 12, 1947Īs early as the mid-1940s, with America at war in Europe and Asia, European designers were playing with the concept of a New Look. “It’s quite a revolution, dear Christian. These fashions allow us to visualize our own “new look” – a distinctive regional expression with a hint of southwestern flavor that reflects the diversity of our community, but affirms that we have always been tuned in to national and regional trends. We also express ourselves within the larger context of, and in response to, the events that shape our lives.įabulous! presents a story of fashion trends in the Duke City after the debut of Parisian designer Christian Dior’s New Look in 1947, through the Museum's photograph archives and memorabilia from local shops and department stores. Through fashion, we express ourselves – sometimes, in not so subtle ways – to those around us. Like a second skin that can be changed at will, clothing is a vehicle for metamorphosis, a way to convey who we are at any given time. ![]()

Think of a number from 1 to 250 and start playing the game you come across:Ħ.Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne 2003ħ. If you know how to play games, all you need to do is apply this knowledge to level up absolutely any skill. The good news is that the rules are universal. Learned? This guide is familiar to almost every conscious gamer. Perseverance - I did not give up, despite the failures, gritting my teeth fought with myself, with my mood and tried again until it started to work out.Analytics - me recorded and analyzed their successful and unsuccessful games, so as not to repeat their mistakes in the future and become better.Education- I was absorbing a ton of information on a topic of interest to me: game tactics, skill combinations, setting up equipment, game resources, etc.Community - I have been an active member of the forums where like-minded people gathered and we discussed the issues of interest to us.Mentoring - I was looking for people who have already achieved something in the game, and asked questions, studied their experience.The quality of time - I didn't just play, I purposefully improved certain aspects of myself gameplay or mechanics.The amount of time I spent playing a lot of time.All you can do is play games - 7 reasons: Here are some rules that have helped me improve my playing skills. Being able to live is the same skill that comes with experience. If you stick to the same approach that you used to treat computer games, but to get different skills, it will work the same way. Any of your services in the virtual world is a natural result of your efforts. Nobody is born with a mouse in their hands. The ability to play is a skill that a person forms independently. We want to convey to you one important point. Consequently, other areas sagged heavily. There is only one result - you have achieved certain results in this area. It doesn't matter what is the reason - your innate abilities or the large amount of time you devote to games. The chances that you are a great player, or at least above average, are quite high. Why? As a rule, people who cannot play well do not become computer gamblers, this is a fact. Games give you confidence and self-esteem. It often happens that this generally the only thing that you can do well. ![]() This is because you deliberately give up an activity that you do really well - to play. Why is it so scary to quit computer games? They don’t have the skills to get the job they want, they don’t know how to start a relationship, and there are many other things they don’t know how to do. Often people who were previously addicted to computer games come to the conclusion that they are absolutely not ready for real life. What if all you can do is play games? When you quit computer games, it's always scary. ![]() ![]() ![]() Perfectly nostalgic and genuinely warm as ever, Static Cling is a fitting addition to the series. ![]() Rachel is reluctant to leave her life selling Fatheads-inspired ice cream, and Rocko must convince her to come back to O-Town and help reboot the series. Rocko sets out to find Rachel Bighead, the creator of The Fatheads, who was previously known as Ralph in the original series and has transitioned in Rocko's absence. Much to Rocko's dismay, his favorite TV show The Fatheads has also gone off the air. After Rocko and his friends Heffer and Filburt spend 20 years careening around space, they return to a present day O-Town full of smartphones, coffee shops, and other 21st century technological marvels. Ron's malfunctions set against the backdrop of the social media age launch them on a journey to learn about true friendship. Static Cling brings all of that same charm with a bit of a twist: the special takes place in the present. A young maiden in a land called Andalasia, who is prepared to be wed, is sent away to New York City by an evil Queen, where she falls in love with a lawyer. The story of Barney, an awkward middle-schooler and Ron, his new walking, talking, digitally-connected device. A beloved '90s Nickelodeon cartoon, it was known for its earnest charm, slapstick comedy, and social satire. It's been a hot, hot minute since Rocko's Modern Life was on air. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can't see all new content in one playthrough. There are 6 new events, two of which are pretty big. This update will add 195 renders, 5 animations and 8k words. There are also events with Ann but they use old renders. Helena, Helga and Alanna's stories will be expanded. It will end storylines of Irene and Thea. This update has expanded story of basically all characters. ![]() You can also meet one old character who has received some new content.Ĭonsists of 225 renders, 7 animations and about 10k words. This is the last update before their stories are over. This update contains 330 new renders, 10 animations and about 10k of words. If you returned home to Ann in the end of 0.85 update, use your earlier saves. As I've already said, the 0.95 update contains 310 new renders, 13 animations and about 9.5k of words. Now when I have a new GPU and rendering time is way faster, I can do more renders and animations thus I can add more interaction to sex scenes. I’ve been receiving messages in discord for a while on how to make these scenes better but so far, I couldn’t do anything due to GPU and time limitations. In this update I’ve applied a new method of creating sex scenes. Helena’s story is about to be finished while Alanna’s story is 2/3 finished. This update continues Helena and Alanna’s branches. If you follow Helena’s branch, it’s highly recommended to load a save that was made before sex in spa-salon. Some more secondary endings were added. Chance to meet Irene again with a different ending It has a number of different possible scenarios in it If you see error messages or crashes, use a different save. Once we're ready to roll out finished final update, it will be called 1.0Īttention: 1) Do not use saves made during animations, you won't be able to use them later 2) If you have a working save created earlier in the game, it will be fully compatible. The build's number is 0.99 only for convenience of the developers. The ending is a result of your previous choices. You will not find a walkthrough for the 1.0 update since there’s no need for it. Endings with three different characters (Alanna, Helga, Helena) each of which has approximately the same amount of content.The Ann’s ending is bigger than the rest of them only because it has two mutually exclusive branches.ģ) Alanna – 1 ending (bad endings where she dumps MC were implemented earlier in the game) ĭisclaimer. The current total amount of words: 137830 words. The update adds 560 new renders, 10 animated scenes and 19800 words. 10 new endings were added to those that are already in the game (Irene’s endings are yet to be added) 4 characters (Alanna, Helga Helena and Ann) received a conclusion to their story. So, go ahead and write some reviews and tell everyone how much you enjoyed our game : ) Make sure you write them if you feel like it You may not have money but you sure know how to write. I read a lot of positive reviews about ToML and many of you asked us to keep working on it (including other +18 websites). Now some information for those who aren't our patrons. I finished that story but since we're experiencing such troubles with the code, I decided to write an extended ending for Alanna. I analysed the poll's results about ToML's final update and came to a conclusion that you were most disappointed with Alanna's ending. No need to start a new game.Regarding that additional ending for ToML. There are many beautiful, sweet and sexy girls waiting for you. There's no "game over" if you pick the wrong answer, in this game every choice you make will lead to different outcomes. "Twists of My Life" - is a visual novel where every decision you make can completely change the storyline. ![]() ![]() ![]() What combats Andromeda in the end is something simple and primitive and endangered. It never grows quite suspenseful enough, and it rests on the rather un-sci-fi-ish idea that the future is a benign force, like a mentor uncle with something meaningful to teach us about our venality and callous disregard for the Earth. “The Andromeda Strain” packs its suitcase so heavily, it cannot travel. I’m an American citizen with a very public profile.” He seems to be a teenage boy lashing out at an unfair suspension at school. “I’m not some hapless Middle-Eastern exchange student with an out-of-date visa. “Listen to me you little tin-pot fascist,” he says. For all of his trespassing and probing, he is being held as a terrorist under the Homeland Security Act, and when he is locked up, he throws quite a dart at the officer in charge. Tracking the story of the government’s efforts to squelch the Andromeda debacle is a drug-addled journalist played by Eric McCormack of “Will & Grace,” an unlikely representative for a national mood of reasoned rage. Dead birds begin falling from the sky, and North Korea suspects that the United States is purposefully testing its nuclear capabilities. In the course of the team’s investigation a nuclear device is detonated. Diyah Pera/A&EĮither directly or by implication, the movie addresses not only the military’s sexual policies but also its unethical detention practices, the injustices of campaign-finance law, bio-terrorism, corporate environmental insensitivity, the suppression of free speech and the North Korean nuclear threat. Though he is sequestered in a clock-is-ticking bunker lab with his attentive colleagues, the script provides him with enough time to run on a treadmill and declare his passions to an attractive former research associate, one of the many other women who caused the dissolution of his marriage.įrom left, standing, Benjamin Bratt, Christa Miller and Ricky Schroder in The Andromeda Strain, an A&E mini-series adapted from the Michael Crichton novel. He looks dressed for a weekend in South Beach, and amid the film’s urgent atmosphere, he adds all the tension of someone conducting a tax audit. ![]() Jeremy Stone of the novel, is played here by Benjamin Bratt in a tight-fitting T-shirt, should immediately give us pause. The military is called in to contain the disaster, and a team of high-status scientific researchers is assembled to determine the capacities of whatever is causing this plague and thus forestall the end of civilization. ![]() Less faithful to the original text than Robert Wise’s 1971 film, the current version, whose executive producers include Tony and Ridley Scott, retains the essential elements of the plot: a government satellite on an intergalactic germ-related fact-finding mission crashes into a small town out West, emitting a deadly pathogen that kills everyone nearby save for an unhealthy older man and a baby whose survival is an epidemiological mystery. In its most recent adaptation, as a four-hour mini-series beginning Monday night on A&E, it quakes with the noise of nearly every threat to our national well-being. Since the 1980s “The Andromeda Strain” could be read as an AIDS or Ebola or bird-flu novel. At the time of its publication it spoke not only to cold war fears but also to more up-to-the-minute notions that lunar missions might result in the importation of perilous contaminants from the Moon. It can shape-shift into a dozen metaphors. “The Andromeda Strain,” Michael Crichton’s 1969 novel, written while he was still a medical student at Harvard, is like one of the mutations the book painstakingly describes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Still confused?

Instead it gives you your own personal guide through the massive program – the Quick Help button. LPX doesn’t bank on only its snazzy facelift to make life easy for you. Now, there’s only so much anyone can do to make pro audio production “easy”. Users complained about Logic not looking “pro” enough to be a pro app.īut the changes in design had a major focus at its epicenter – the beginner. And at first blush, many a Logic user were skeptical. When LPX was introduced, the biggest deal was how different it looked from LP9. Logic Pro X Focuses on Being Beginner-Friendly And the Logic development team have made many an improvement. At the time of this post, Logic is now sitting on version 10.3.2. The show looks like the 90s idea of “the future” – awkward and outdated.īut with LPX, all that has changed. Though it looked “futuristic” at the time, try watching an episode now. Plus, the interface was a bit like watching Star Trek: the Next Generation. And despite it’s name, wasn’t the most intuitive or “logical” program on earth. If you had asked me 7 years ago if Logic Pro 9 was worth the money, I would’ve said yes.īut! After several years of owning LPX, I now understand why others weren’t so hot on LP9. So let me get back to the question – is it worth it to buy Logic Pro X? Why Logic Pro X? There are great forums and sites, sure! But a site dedicated to Logic with the beginner in mind, with unconditional love and support? As a longtime Logic fanboy, the one thing I’ve always wanted was a centralized hub for us Logic fans. As the industry has been completely turned on its head, I’d reckon so has the “standard.”Īnyways. Though I have no statistical data to back me up whatsoever, I dare to believe Logic can go toe-to-toe with any DAW out there.Īnd while one DAW in particular is considered the “industry standard,” I’d beg to differ. Why Logic Pro Rules is a blog dedicated to the most awesome Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) from Apple. Now before the armchair quarterbacks start revving up to let me know what’s what, lend me your ear. Is it worth it to own the best DAW ever created? Is it worth it to buy Logic Pro X? Should you buy Logic Pro X? Well, let me ask you – ![]() ![]() ![]() “The PC launch of Star Trek™ Fleet Command gives fans even more ways to personalize the adventure through a true cross-platform experience. ![]() A press release from game designer Scopely broke the news on Tuesday, announcing: However, just as Boimler improves upon his strategies to defeat the Borg, the Collective quietly adapts to his tactics, with Boimler's final attempt resulting in the Borg capturing him and the Borg Queen personally assimilating him as the new Borg drone Excretus, resulting in a failing grade on the challenge.SEPTEMThe award-winning MMO game Star Trek Fleet Command, which has been transporting mobile players to the bridge of their very own starship in a test of strategy and combat skills since 2018, has launched on PC in a much-anticipated cross-platform debut. Boimler's efforts against the Borg become even more outlandish as he restarts the cycle, teaching the nefarious Borg Queen the meaning of empathy over a game of chess. In addition to evading capture and the Borg's attempts to assimilate him, Boimler recovers the infants being assimilated within the Borg Cube's nursery as he makes his escape. The list of accomplishments Boimler singlehandedly pulls off against his repeated encounters with the Borg is certainly laudable. Boimler is completely unfazed being surrounded by menacing Borg drones, however, and not only passes the challenge by escaping but obsessively restarts the trial repeatedly to achieve a perfect score for his efforts. While most of the crew struggles at their respective trials, Boimler finds himself trapped on a holographic Borg Cube, tasked to escape as part of his challenge. RELATED: Star Trek: Why the Evil Captain Picard Is Starting a Multiverse WarĪfter a humiliating oversight by the senior staff causes tension to foment between them and the junior officers, Starfleet assigns an outside consultant to subject the entire crew to a performance review involving a series of holographic challenges based on classic moments from Star Trek history. And because of this obsessive study, Boimler discovers he is perfectly suited to confront the Borg should the occasion ever arise. ![]() For all of this anxiety and neuroses, however, Boimler has admired Starfleet all his life and dreamed of becoming a senior officer on an important starship, studying the exploits of past fan-favorite characters diligently, including Voyager's adventures in the Delta Quadrant. In contrast to his best friend Beckett Mariner, who is so competently badass and extensively experienced that Boimler and Sam Rutherford once believed she was part of Starfleet's black ops organization Section 31, Boimler is one of the more neurotic crew members serving on the Cerritos. And while the Borg were seemingly dealt with for good in the Star Trek: Voyager series finale, Star Trek: Lower Decks reveals its own surprising secret weapon against the Borg: Brad Boimler. Dealing Starfleet devastating battles during TNG and the 1996 film Star Trek: First Contact, the Borg can quickly adapt to any strategy used against them as they seek to assimilate all organic life in the universe to add for the benefit of the Collective. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 2, Episode 8, "I, Excretus," streaming now on Paramount+.Įver since their debut in Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Borg Collective has been one of the most terrifying and unstoppable enemies the Star Trek franchise has ever seen. ![]() ![]() ![]()

These breakthroughs in basic research not only demonstrated our technological prowess to the world, but was also instrumental in diffusing the concept of SSB communications in the HF band, the current standard, throughout the world. We also subsequently developed independently the ultra narrow IF crystal filter, a breakthrough that paved the way to commercialization of SSB communications. Since successfully developing the highly stable SSB generator and balanced modulator back in 1957, we have been a part of HF SSB (Single Side Band) history. Finding that distant but recognizable signal buried in a sea of noise is the type of enjoyment of discovery unattainable from sending an instant e-mail overseas through the Internet.
