The development of the GIMP ToolKit has been attributed to Peter Mattis becoming disenchanted with the Motif toolkit GIMP originally used. Since then, GIMP has been ported to other operating systems, including Microsoft Windows (1997, GIMP 1.1) and macOS.Ī GUI toolkit called GTK (at the time known as the GIMP ToolKit) was developed to facilitate the development of GIMP. The first release supported Unix systems, such as Linux, SGI IRIX and HP-UX. The application subsequently formed part of the GNU software collection. In the following year, Kimball and Mattis met with Richard Stallman of the GNU Project while he visited UC Berkeley and asked if they could change General in the application's name to GNU (the name of the operating system created by Stallman), and Stallman approved. The community began developing tutorials, artwork and shared better work-flows and techniques. The editor was quickly adopted and a community of contributors formed. In 1996 was the initial public release of GIMP (0.54). The acronym was coined first, with the letter G being added to -IMP as a reference to "the gimp" in the scene from the 1994 Pulp Fiction film. In 1995, Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis began developing GIMP – originally named General Image Manipulation Program – as a semester-long project at the University of California, Berkeley for the eXperimental Computing Facility. GIMP is released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license and is available for Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows. It is not designed to be used for drawing, though some artists and creators have used it for such. GIMP ( / ɡ ɪ m p/ GHIMP GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image manipulation (retouching) and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks. As any open-source software, installation from source is also a possibility.Amharic, Arabic, Asturian, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Bosnian, Brazilian Portuguese, Breton, British English, Bulgarian, Burmese, Canadian English, Catalan, Central Kurdish, Chinese (China), Chinese (Hong Kong), Chinese (Taiwan), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Dzongkha, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kabyle, Kannada, Kashubian, Kazakh, Khmer, Kinyarwanda, Kirghiz, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Low German, Macedonian, Malay, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Norwegian (Bokmål), Norwegian (Nynorsk), Occitan, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Scottish Gaelic, Serbian (Cyrillic script), Serbian (Latin script), Sinhala, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Tatar, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Valencian, Vietnamese, Xhosa, Yiddish I suppose Debian and its derivatives should have the plugin too. Yum install gimp-lqr-plugin gimp-resynthesizer I run Fedora and both plugins are in the official repositories. I’ve done some tests last night and the generated portion seamlessly flows into the existing part. Resynthesizer can create the missing part from surrounding pixels very quickly. In the example above, the image was rotated and, consequently, some parts were missing (the lower left portion for instance). Resynthesizer: this other open-source plugin restore missing parts in an image. I’ve spent some time with the plugin last night resizing some of my pictures in both the x- and y- directions and the results are impressive. In the example above, the picture has been enlarged while the lady has been preserved. avoiding distortion of the important parts. Liquid Rescale: this open-source plugin resizes pictures non uniformly while preserving their features, i.e. Yesterday, I came across two excellent Gimp plugins, Liquid Rescale and Resynthesizer, which I would like to share with you. Out of the box, Gimp has a lot of powerful features but, as it is an extensible software, people can add plugins to it to make it more powerful. Whether at home or at work, I rely on Gimp a lot for my image processing needs.

A different game model can represent each player’s view of the conflict, but often the player’s views will overlap where common knowledge exists. Hypergame analysis extends game theory by providing the larger game that is really being played whether or not both players are aware of it. This advance in game theory shows how one player can believe that decisions of the other player are irrational, but the opponent is actually making a rational decision based upon the perceived game model. It seeks to explain how players in a game can have differing views of the conflict. The term hypergame was coined by Bennett in 1977. Hypergame theory is an extension of game theory that addresses the kind of conflict games where misperception exists. Instead, models rely heavily on probability distributions to determine the preferred outcome. Problems decision theory tries to answer include the following: “shall I bring an umbrella today?” or “I am looking for a house to buy shall I buy this one?” Decision theoretic models often fail to model the notion of fear, where another player may be able to outmaneuver during game play. The main influence behind the creation of decision theory is the rational behavior of the decision-maker. When one or more players lack a full understanding or have a misunderstanding or incorrect view of the nature of the conflict, hypergame theory can be used to model the conflict.ĭecision theory on the other hand is concerned with goal-directed behavior when options exist with different possible outcomes. Game theory models have many properties associated with them that influence the outcome and how game analysis proceeds but often fail to model the situation when one player has an advantage over the other in a conflict. The main influence behind the creation of game theory is the resolution of such competitions. Game theory has been used to model diverse areas such as economics, natural selection, battles in past wars, and many other types of conflict. ” The study of how decision-makers interact during a conflict is known as game theory, while the study of how decision-makers make rational decisions is known as decision theory. “A conflict is a situation in which there is a ‘condition of opposition’, and parties with opposing goals affect one another. This paper explores the current research in hypergame theory and presents a broad overview of the historical literature on hypergame theory. The hypergame model more accurately provides solutions for complex theoretic modeling of conflicts than those modeled by game theory and excels where perception or information differences exist between players. The ability to outmaneuver an opponent occurs in the hypergame because the different views (perception or deception) of opponents are captured in the model, through the incorporation of information unknown to other players (misperception or intentional deception). Hypergame theory extends the advantages of game theory by allowing a player to outmaneuver an opponent and obtaining a more preferred outcome with a higher utility. A metagame, known as a hypergame, occurs when one player does not know or fully understand all the strategies of a game. To date, game theory and decision theory have received considerable modeling focus, while hypergame theory has not.

One thing I hope is that the M16A4 carries the same feeling as in MW2, in BO it felt like crap. Don't think I giving up that class but I see a lot more people being more visible now with all these new perks. So to get back my usual silent and invisible class I need to equip Blind Eye / Assassin / Dead Silence instead of just being a Cold Blooded Ninja. Marksman and Stalker are new, Ninja is changed to Dead Silence. Commando, Scrambler & Last Stand are out. Quickdraw and Blast Shield are new, Hardline is back and Overkill makes a return. Cold Blooded (my favorite) is altered/split up into Assassin. Thank goodness Stopping Power is gone, or so it would seem, Lightweight, Danger Close all gone. Dead Silence - Your character makes no noise. Point Guard - Every two assists count as a point towards your killstreak. Assassin - Immune to UAV, thermal, and heartbeat sensors. Pro version speeds up lock-on and gives you extra bullet damage to vehicles. Blind Eye is the next new one which I will have to use to stay completely invisible, but with that class I usually used Bling Pro which is covered by attachments, or Marathon which I'll have to give up in order to stay invisible to air support. New individual perks include: Blind Eye - Immune to killstreaks. Its best to carry around an EMP Grenade to quickly destroy ground Killstreaks and a LMG or a Stinger or other lock-on Launcher to destroy. Recon is new, I sorta like it but being a Hardcore player I probably will have no use for it. To Pro Blind Eye, you must Destroy 40 enemy Killstreaks. When you review this style in a Catalog view, you can search on 'color blind', and those schemes will be returned. The schemes in it that are color blind friendly are tagged as such. So from what I can see, first one is OMA and Bling are gone, and Marathon is altered. Hello Chad, One of the system styles included in the installation of ArcGIS Pro is called ColorBrewer Schemes (RGB). But after just looking through them I can still create the classes I preferred using. You right still, the weapon proficiencies for the most part just replace perks removed, and the perks themselves sorta altered and split up. "This work cannot be done in isolation we all need community. "Many folks are buying books, but may not have a home to dialogue about it," she says.

"When I think of meaningful change in the community, reading and having more information is amazing. "We've definitely seen a surge in our book sales, specifically for our titles on racism and history in this country," says Onikah Asamoa-Caesar, owner of Tulsa, Oklahoma's Fulton Street Books-which had its grand opening with limited capacity due to COVID-19-on July 3. Many shops across the country are overwhelmed with customers due to the collective push to both "buy Black" and read books written by Black authors. For others, it's uplifting the cause by supporting Black owned businesses, or seeking education through anti-racist literature.īecause of the latter, one industry that's seen an influx in support and attention are Black-owned bookstores. For some, that means taking to the streets in protest.

Run the Jewels – Ooh La La Winner of my Best Beat of the Year (thank you DJ Premier) via a classic sample from Gangstarr / Nice and Smooth but elevated with a modern-day, Bauuer-style harshness. I thought – wow, amazing to have a new American woman to listen to over the next decade….wait, KJP is from Bristol, UK? WTF KJP, where did you learn this? Why is no one in the UK talking about KJP and this album? A future star is rising in your backyard, although, to be fair, it sounds like her backyard is 4,000 miles away in Nashville. I loved the crossover between pop and country that only a few artists can authentically create (sorry, Taylor Swift – not you). Katy J Pearson – Tonight When I first heard KJP, I became nostalgic of my American roots. Yes, it is true I’ve been a sucker for distorted vocoder harmonies since the old Air albums, but the pinnacle for me starts at 2:28, delivering the best musical minute of the entire year. With this year’s album, BC finally pulled it all together for me, delivering painfully realistic yet ironic lyrics with great music sensibility. Just what the doctor ordered.īC Camplight – I Only Drink When I’m Drunk I’ve been a fan of BC Camplight for the last couple albums, but it was typically one or two great songs and a lot of experiments. K-IRSE’s mix of MBV and Scandi death metal culminates at 5:15 when a growing build crescendos into full face explosion. For those new to “RYFO” songs, it is important to note that these can derive from a variety of genres – my preference tends to be from the My Bloody Valentine school, focused on over-volumed, high distortion guitars. Kairon IRSE! – An Bat None Sometimes in life, you need a headphones on, volume 10, “Rip Your Face Off” song to get you through the day. Over time, will this song prove to be my favourite of 2020? Not sure, but I felt it important to give praise to a special music moment in a challenging year. First, because Another Sky delivered a phenomenal album, but, more importantly, because it delivered the type of surprise adventure all music lovers want – to find something unexpected. It became my musical highlight of the year. I read an article about Another Sky which highlighted Catrin Vincent’s lead vocals and decided to give it a listen late one lockdown night. So, without further ado, here is a long list to be enjoyed in orderĪnother Sky – How Long? In the age of singles and Spotify, it is increasingly rare that we gain the experience of listening to a new artist in pure form – opening an album, pressing play, listening to the first song and knowing immediately that you are embarking on something special. Just keep my mom out of it because she’s a nice lady. So, I welcome the spirited debate about anything I’m wrong about or anything I missed. I have no musical expertise other than being an avid listener for many years. I do try to stay close therefore, you won’t find a 2012 album that I personally discovered in 2020, but you may find a song released in October 2019 that I only heard for the first time in 2020. Therefore, there can be some debate on whether some of these songs are 2019 or 2020 releases. In a streaming world, it is hard to time stamp songs because they are often released first as singles and then as albums. Rather, my objective was to spend time thinking about the year of music in the context of the year overall and then to take a view of what will be memorable years from now. I know it’s February, and I’m delivering a “Best of 2020” list so who cares, but I always felt that sending this on New Year’s Day isn’t the point. In some years, it’s not hard, which is the sign of 2020 being a good music year. In 2020, it was hard to break that listening regiment down to 40 songs. The Spotify playlist link and below commentary represents over 116 full albums and hundreds of other single songs. As predicted, the jeers came in heavy but the critiques were outweighed by the positive comments and more importantly the feedback about music I had missed during the year, which is always something I’m looking for.Īfter 3 years of absence while I tried to help raise my daughter, I decided to write the next chapter of my annual list. This way I could feel what it was like to be abused for my musical taste as I had previously criticized others. About a decade ago, suffering from the boredom of Pitchfork’s growing lack of credibility, I decided to stop complaining and to prepare my own top songs of the year. The variety of content here is great, you can select the type of game you want to play from a number of options such as following a campaign story or simply getting through a dungeon to the other side, and the game also has scaling rules to allow you to play with less than four heroes, and even an option to solo with one character. These are then added to with a host of additional one off wandering monster enemies and creatures during certain missions, or can be involved in their own one off narrative stories. The game campaign is themed around hobgoblins, a tweak to the normal that i really appreciated, and there a a number of different types of these enemies to encounter. While monsters are well covered in these books, I would have liked to have had better hero guides as well included which explain the open choice upgrade paths, but these available on kickstarter site so i created my own printable cards > Character Path Cards An additional 100 pages of narrative one off adventures are located in the fables box, plus the books also contain arena style boss encounters. It is one of the best dungeon crawl books i have seen, and may only be beaten by the great Warhammer Quest 1995 roleplay book. The books that come in this set are lovely, well presented, colourful with great artwork and the adventure book in the main box is a huge 179 pages long containing a campaign, monster encounter information, narrative story passages and options to scale the player count including a one character solo mode. The variety and choice of mobs and wandering encounters in this set is immense and will keep give you plenty of options. Models are good quality, ranking alongside Massive Darkness, but with more interesting sculpts and poses and are overall better than many crawl games, but arguably slightly below the Warhammer Quest and Descent Legends of the Dark lines which are just exceptional. The tiles also look great, being colourful and with great lighting effects and contain zone areas rather than squares, more like Sword & Sorcery, and again these look better than most dungeon crawlers around. The game looks amazing, the artwork throughout ranks alongside the best i have in any of my dungeon crawlers, heroes and enemy cards are well drawn and have personality. If you have the stretch goal fables box then you have access to eight more heroes and extra monsters. It is nicely put together and looks great. Also inside are plastic trays to keep your tokens and models well sorted, and dashboards for the heroes. It comes in a huge box containing five hero characters, hobgoblin enemy mobs, wandering encounter monsters and a large boss creature, and has a really nice presentation to it, themed around the unfolding legendary tales told by the bards. Bardsung is a co-operative dungeon crawler, a standard set up of heroes exploring on an expanding tile map.
