![]() It appears to be related to drawing and subviews in the plugin. Much to my, and apparently a number of other people’s dismay, a very recent version of iTunes or macOS caused the iTunes visualizer to stop working as well as it did. The unpleasantness of this experience with Apple and their rejection is actually what spurred me to start this blog so I could complain about it. Not to make money or anything, just to make it easy for people to get it. I tried to submit the plugin to the Mac App store as a free download. Though I did have to deal with the very unfortunate Objective-C++ “language” to make it work. Not really having a good solution for OSX I went ahead and ported the ancient iTunes visualizer code to work on a then-modern version of iTunes and voila! projectM on OSX. In the past there have been XMMS and VLC plugins, a Qt application, pulseaudio and jack-based applications, and more. projectM is really just a library though, designed to be used by applications. The code is quite old although the core Milkdrop preset parsing, beat detection, most of the OpenGL (more on that later) calls, and rendering is in fine shape. However the previous authors and contributors have for whatever reason mostly abandoned the project so it was left to random people to make it work. I didn’t work on projectM originally and I am not responsible for the vast majority of it. So some enterprising folks in 2003 created projectM as an open source reimplementation that would be Milkdrop preset-compatible. First that it was implemented with DirectX, win32 APIs and assembler, and secondly that it was not open source (though it was made open source fairly recently). flexi + cope – i blew you a soap bubble now what – feel the projection you are, connected to it all nz+ wrepwrimindloss w8.milkĪs I understand it, possibly incorrectly, there were two major problems with Milkdrop.suksma + aderassi geiss – the sick assumptions you make about my car nz+.milk.NeW Adam Master Mashup FX 2 Zylot – In death there is life (Dancing Lights mix)+ Tumbling Cubes 3d.milk.cube in a room -no effects – code is very messy nz+ finally some serious stfu (loavthe).milk.shifter – cellular_Phat_YAK_Infusion_v2.milk.In short there is a set of per-frame equations describing colors and FFT waveforms and simple transformations, and there is a set of per-vertex equations for more detailed transformations and deformations.ĭue to the popularity of WinAmp and Milkdrop there have been many thousands of presets authored and shared with really stunning and innovative visual effects ranging from animated fractals to dancing stick figures to bizarre abstract soups. You can read the very illuminating description here of how the files are defined if you’re interested. The visualizer was not a single set of rules for visualizing audio but rather a mathematical interpreter that would read in “preset” files which were sets of equations. It contained a supremely amazing and innovative music visualizer called Milkdrop written by a gentleman from nVidia named Ryan Geiss, known just as Geiss. Some of you may remember the old windows mp3 player WinAmp. I say music and not audio because it includes beat detection for making interesting things happen on the beat. In short it makes cool animations that are synchronized and reactive to any music input.

Bless Unleashed is a free-to-play, open-world MMORPG that gives players the opportunity to explore and create their own journey. These Companions will assist the characters in exploring the various open world maps, dungeons, and during 10-player raids in the game. You can help Bless Online Wiki by expanding it. These Companions can function as mounts, while others provide passive bonuses, and still others are just cosmetic. In Bless Online, players can tame creatures called Companions. For instance, the Mage class cannot be taken by the Lufus or Pantera races. However, certain races only have access to certain classes. They would then choose a class, such as the Berserker, Guardian, Ranger, Mage, Assassin, and Paladin. Players in Bless Online choose from one of the races, depending on their faction. There is also the Mascu race, which both factions have access to. Each faction had different races, such as the Habichts, Sylvan Elf, and Lufus for the Hieron faction and the Amistad, Aqua Elf, and Pantera for the Union factions. Bless Online (originally titled BLESS) took place in the world where the northern realm of Hieron was at war with the rebellious southern kingdoms of Union.

James gives this advice: “Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom” (James 2:12 cf. In anticipation of the judgment seat of Christ, we are careful in what we say and do in this life. In the same way, the bema of Christ will not be a place of condemnation or censure. The bema was never a place to reprimand the athletes or to punish them in any way. Their job was to make sure contestants followed the rules and to present awards to the victors (see 1 Corinthians 9:24–27). A bema was a raised platform on which judges sat to view athletic games. In the Greek, a single word is used for “judgment seat” in Romans 14:10 and 2 Corinthians 5:10-the word is bema. IV: Ecclesiology-Eschatology, Dallas Seminary Press, 1948, p. As one theologian put it, “It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the judgment is unrelated to the problem of sin, that it is more for the bestowing of rewards than the rejection of failure” (Chafer, L. It will be a serious and necessary time of reckoning, but, as God’s redeemed, we will never be condemned with the wicked. The judgment seat of Christ is a time when we will be called on to report, to render an accounting of what we did for Jesus. Jesus took our punishment once and for all. The judgment seat of Christ is also not a time to punish sin. Those whose works have a natural source will “suffer loss.” Their works will be burned up, but they themselves “will be saved.” The judgment seat of Christ, then, does not confer or rescind salvation. Rewards are distributed to those whose works withstand the test. As Arthur Pink points out, “‘Gold, silver, precious stones’ are of intrinsic value, whereas ‘wood, hay, stubble’ are a natural growth” ( The Redeemer’s Return, ch. The “fire” of God’s scrutiny will reveal the quality of our works. Note, in the above passage, that our works subsequent to Christ’s salvation are of two different types-good and bad. ![]() If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved-even though only as one escaping through the flames (1 Corinthians 3:10b–15). If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. Paul likens our Christian service to erecting a building:Įach one should build with care. Did we neglect our opportunities to serve the Lord? If so, we will suffer loss of reward. What did we do with the resources God gave us? How faithful were we? Were we yielded to the Spirit, seeking to honor Christ and further His work in the world? If so, we will have reward (see Matthew 10:41–42). It will be a time of examination and a time of reward. So, believers are secure in Christ, but they still must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life” (John 5:24, emphasis added). All our sins are forgiven, and there is “no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). The judgment seat of Christ does not determine our salvation that matter was settled by Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf (1 John 2:2) and our faith in Him (John 3:16). ![]() Believers will appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Appearing before the Great White Throne will be unbelievers. That will be the final judgment of the wicked prior to their being cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11–15). The judgment seat of Christ is different from the Great White Throne Judgment. As Jesus taught in His parable, the king is going to return, at which time he will require an account from his servants (Luke 19:11–26). ![]() The warning is to Christians, not unbelievers. This is the plain teaching of Scripture: “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10). ![]() The judgment seat of Christ involves a time in the future when believers will give an account of themselves to Christ. We will all stand some day before the judgment seat of Christ. Only the Lord Jesus is qualified, and all judgment has been entrusted to Him (John 5:22). None of us are qualified to be the Judge. So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God” (Romans 14:10b–12, ESV). Scripture gives us a reason not to judge one another: “For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. ![]() ![]() Crop your photos to recompose or remove distractions.Remove distractions and blemishes with the awesome content-aware eraser or the familiar clone stamp.And it’s all non-destructive so you can easily change your settings in the future.

On May 23, 2018, Instapaper announced that it had suspended its services for residents of the European Union in order to address compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements. On November 1, 2016, Instapaper announced that it would discontinue its subscription model and offer its "Premium" features to all users. The service continued to operate, and the Instapaper staff worked on development for both Instapaper and Pinterest. On August 23, 2016, Instapaper was acquired by social networking service Pinterest. Afterward, the service's web interface was redesigned. In April 2013, Arment sold a majority stake in Instapaper to Betaworks. When Marco Arment launched the service publicly on January 28, 2008, its simplicity rapidly earned accolades from the press, including Daring Fireball and TechCrunch. Instapaper started out as a simple web service in late 2007 with a "Read Later" bookmarklet and stripped-down "Text" view for articles. The transition was completed on August 6, 2018. In July 2018, ownership of Instapaper was transferred from Pinterest to a newly formed company Instant Paper, Inc. In April 2013, Arment sold a majority stake to Betaworks and by mid 2016 Pinterest acquired the company. The service was founded in 2008 by Marco Arment.

But, if you try the page to Instapaper, you'll get an error message in your reading log instead of the newsletter you wanted to read. I just don't want to have to read it in Gmail. From Smashing Magazine's email newsletter to Om Malik's Om Says, I get plenty of high quality writing in my inbox that I'd like to take time to read. Now, most email newsletters I get go straight in the trash, but some are definately worth reading. There's only one thing I haven't been able to switch to Instapaper: email newsletters. That way, I can get rid of all the distractions and just sit down and read on Instapaper, whether in the browser or on the iOS app. Whenever I come across an article I'd like to read but would take more than a minute or two, I'll add it to my Instapaper queue to read later.

But I think the point of the explaining was that work is supposed to be done for someone else. There was a comment on my last post saying that the article had completely missed the point of work. But it is interesting to note that actual slaves had more respect for the work they did and were generally treated better in material terms than we treat our workers today. Now, I’m not pining for Roman times nor do I wish to see actual slavery imposed upon work. In any case, there weren’t many slave overseers aside from farm managers, who were more concerned with keeping the farm operational than with task management of individual slaves. Perhaps there would have even been deterioration in the quality of work done as slaves became surly, chaffing under artificial order imposed upon them and their work, order that interfered with their work. There was plenty of bureaucracy in Rome (mostly to extract taxes), but there was relatively little direction of work - because Romans recognized that management costs more for no increase in productivity. At the least, the Roman masters had to provide fancier clothes to the overseers - who did no productive work - when the slaves were perfectly capable of doing the work without the additional expense of oversight. Moreover, you have to pay for management. Romans recognized that a manager - or even a master - had no practical experience doing the work and therefore was not the best authority on how the work should be approached. A Roman would have scoffed at Taylorism, in which every minute is ordered to achieve some theoretical maximum production, in which work is monitored by someone who does not do the work and is therefore not a practical expert at that work - a manager. They did the work and knew the best ways to order their days so it would get done. And in fact, it seems that many masters generally deferred to slaves in ordering the work because the slaves were the experts. As long as the work was done, it didn’t matter how. They lived at work, so to speak, but they did not do work every minute of every day. ![]() Most importantly, slaves set their own work schedule. They could marry and raise a family in relative freedom from want - relative, that is, to the working poor today. They had health care and proper rest time. They had clothing and places to live, unlike those who work for us. Master and slave both prospered when the slave’s needs were met. But the majority of Roman slave-owners probably treated their slaves at least as good as we treat our favored pets - for approximately the same reasons. I’m sure they didn’t care about the service, and the wealthy don’t suffer from bad publicity. This wouldn’t have have stopped the worst offenders. So masters suffered a lack of service and status if they were mingy and mean. It looked bad in public if your household was starved and abused, and the work a starved and abused slave does is not that great. But most slaves were more or less cared for their needs were met. They couldn’t up and move elsewhere, and there were some pretty nasty masters. But then again, slaves were part of the household, so there was less need for wages to pay for their needs. Now, there were no wages involved this was not paid time off - though there were gifts. We don’t even get bathroom breaks, never mind seven days. Actual slaves in Rome had more freedom than we do. Well, we would if our overlords would allow it. Io, Saturnalia! Today we cast off the orders imposed on us from our parasitic overlords and do as we will. ![]() ![]() ![]() “They’ve got really good players - really athletic players who can put it on the floor and get to the rim - and some great shooters like Jordyn (Cambridge).Not to toot my own horn, but I absolutely NAILED this one, as I expressed this exact sentiment while reviewing season two of The Boys on this week’s Post-Credit Podcast. “They’re a good team, and I definitely think it will be a good test for us,” said Larkin, whose teams have managed just two wins over Ensworth in their last 13 tries. Keeping that mindset would be wise, especially considering the most difficult portion of Father Ryan’s schedule, including a pair of games against defending DII-AA champ Brentwood Academy, is still in front of them.Īnd while Friday’s opponent, Ensworth, suffered a 14-point defeat to the first-place Lady Eagles on Tuesday, Larkin expects the Lady Tigers to be among his team’s toughest opponents to date. “I don’t think any of us are going in thinking, ‘Oh we’re 15-0, this will be easy.’” "It never feels like we’ve put them in a string together, it’s just been focus on this game then we’ll focus on the next. “It sounds weird but it really doesn’t ever feel like it’s a streak for us it really just feels like one game,” Rolick said.

The Lady Irish have held eight additional teams - Lipscomb, Harpeth, Franklin Road Academy, Battle Ground Academy, Bishop McGuinness (N.C.), Mother of Mercy (Ohio), St. “It really bothers them I think when the ball gets by them or they give up an offensive rebound or points in transition.”įather Ryan, ranked second in Division II, has held opponents to a season-low 16 points on two occasions, coasting to lopsided Division II-AA wins over Briarcrest and Pope John Paul II by a combined score of 80-32. They buy into it and take a lot of pride in doing it right on every possession. “We’re man-to-man 90 percent of the time, and it comes down to those girls buying in because it’s not a real easy defense. “It’s a team effort,” said Father Ryan coach Jason Larkin, whose squad is averaging scoring 43.4 points. That blue-collar approach, which has helped the Lady Irish limit 10 of their first 15 opponents to fewer than 30 points, has undoubtedly been the driving force behind the 15-0 start. Those hustle plays, that’s what we pride ourselves on.” “That means we’re diving on the ground for loose balls or stepping up and taking a charge. “One of the things we focus on is giving relentless effort,” Rolick said. That’s five points fewer than the state’s second-stingiest team (Middleton, 30.7) and nearly a touchdown less than the Fighting Irish football team surrendered last fall (31.3). ![]() That much is obvious given the fact that Father Ryan has been limiting opponents to a state-low 25.7 points per game. “You can’t win games without defense,” said Lady Irish senior Olivia Rolick. If that old adage “defense wins championships” is true, Father Ryan appears in prime position to produce its first state title in program history. The unbeaten Lady Irish do, however, have one of the most commonly used sports cliches of all time on their side. The Father Ryan girls basketball team doesn’t enjoy the luxury of having a dynamic scorer like Wilson Central’s Kendall Spray, Blackman’s Crystal Dangerfield or East Nashville’s Erica Haynes-Overton. ![]() |
