![]() This memory issue isn’t a huge problem, and there are ways around it. A particular problem is the amount of memory plots rendered this way consume, this becomes more acute once a reasonable number of elements are included in the plot. I think the pgf backend of matplotlib is great, but rendering plots this way does have its drawbacks. The upshot? All the fonts will be set as in the metropolis theme: in an mDarkTeal FiraSans font.Įasy right? Well, almost. Using this backend, the drawing commands of the plots can be inserted directly into the presentation. Matplotlib provides a pgf backend, which allows plots to be exported as pgf drawing commands (if you’re brave enough and want to learn more about pgf, you can check out the pgf/TikZ manual which sits at a pretty 1247 pages). There are many things I can live with, but poorly integrated graphics in a research presentation isn’t one of them. My figures had a white facecolor, which meant all the plots I’d included had a white box around them. I was also distressed by the off-white background of the metropolis slides. Yet, metropolis sets text in a colour it calls mDarkTeal. The fonts in my plots were serif, yet metropolis was using a sans-serif font. By themselves the figures looked good, but once inserted into the presentation they clashed with the metropolis theme. This was until I paid more attention to the figures I’d included. The presentation was coming along well, and in my own biased opinion I thought the presentation had a certain aesthetic charm. Recently, I was busy creating a presentation with beamer and the metropolis theme. Metropolis is a modern Beamer theme which looks minimal, stylish and professional, and has become my go-to beamer theme. ![]() The default themes look cluttered, clunky and out of date. Beamer is actually just a LaTeX document class, so its syntax and setup is familiar to those who have experience working with TeX and friends.ĭespite Beamer’s popularity in industry and academia, the default theme options are, to put it politely, lacking.

Any bonus items you get - which are usually better than the fixed loot - is just a bonus, 'cause you're already proficient in that particular weapon, anyway. If you Power-Game, you already know what all the fixed loot is, so you just build around that. Which is the ability to drop in, drop out characters at will, because you don't get the loot you wanted/needed, or you need to reset one of your Characters because they don't have the right Proficiency for a really powerful weapon you found. In return, you lose Character Arbitration. Don't play the edition where the acquirers said "Make it like BG2, people like BG2." The Complete Edition, is what the designers of the game actually wanted. So, if you've got the EE, you get the **** story that you would get anyway, but also the gameplay is ****. Except all's the Enhanced Edition does, is trivialise the gameplay, by making the difficulty way too easy (so much that they had to make a new setting for the game). The only thing IWD has going for it, is the gameplay. Originally released in 2000, Icewind Dale is a Dungeons & Dragons game set in Wizards of The Coasts legendary Forgotten Realms. Improved UI / High Res: Mods already did it. This is the world of Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition. IWD was not designed to have every single Character you own, start Dual-Wielding.ĭifficulty Setting: Yeah, 'cause you've broken the game. The big **** up, however, comes from BG2's Proficiency system. Giving Dual-Classers access to Kits only breaks the game. Therefore, we couldn't begin the game with a Strength score of 19. Half-orc allows us to begin the game with a Strength score of 19. Just 'cause Katanas are in the game, doesn't mean that you're going to get the magical ones.Įxtra Classes, Races and Kits: Dual-classing your characters was already God-mode, especially as you get to make all six characters exactly how you want. Let us now enumerate the changes: High Strength is Too Easy to Get in IWD:EE One new Race. None of it even matters, because getting loot is still random. Ammo Bags and Scroll Cases and the like were already modded into the game a long time ago. Adding in Katanas and more Scimitars doesn't exactly fix the game. That's kinda a big deal in a game which emphasizes combat and party composition.Īccording to esteemed IE analyst, Lilura, I'd say give it a pass: You also lose the Character Arbitration button - it wasn't implemented to the EE - which allowed you to remodel your party at any point if you decided that one of your team members is no longer valid, or you need someone else for a given situation (like a Bard), or if you're playing an Iron Man variant and someone gets chunked to death. You get BG2 kits (that really don't fit in IWD and make it much easier, since they were just slammed in, and IWD doesn't have an SCS-equivalent that would revamp encounters to accomodate the fact that you now get access to broken class kits with blanket immunities with no noticable downside) and BG2 proficiencies (which are kinda limiting in the context of a game that dispenses loot semi-randomly), gain stuff that resident Beamdog employees will tell you require Epic Arcane Magic to mod in while in reality it's mostly like a coffee break's worth of time and research. ![]() ![]() A German researcher, Martin Lotze, studied the brains of both professional athletes and professional writers and found that their brain activity was very similar during athletic competition and the writing process. Creative writing is similar to professional athletics.Indeed, there is very little evidence that there are truly dominant brain hemispheres at all since both sides of the brain are always working together. However, studies have found that this isn’t the case and that many creative writers actually don’t have a dominant hemisphere but are more or less equally balanced between the two. Because of this, many believe that creative writers are right-brain dominant. It’s often said that the left hemisphere of the brain controls analytical and reasoning skills while the right hemisphere controls artistic and creative thought. Creative writers don’t have a dominant brain hemisphere.Each pencil could write up to 35 miles of writing. John Steinbeck could use up to 60 pencils per day when writing and reportedly used 300 pencils to complete his masterpiece, East of Eden.

John Steinbeck used up to 60 pencils per day.This also had the benefit of making them more conversational and thus more popular with her readers. However, she suffered from a condition called dysgraphia, which makes it difficult for a person to write, so Christie dictated her novels to another person.

Agatha Christie couldn’t actually write easily.The Gilgamesh epic was created by compiling earlier shorter poems together to make a book-length story about a hero’s quest for immortality. The most important early work written in cuneiform is the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest written epic in the world. The cuneiform writing system was initially used to record business transactions-including several complaints and demands for refunds!-before expanding to include what we would recognize today as literature. While humans have drawn symbols and images since the Stone Age, the first true writing is generally believed to be Sumerian cuneiform, which developed around 3500 BCE from pictographs. The earliest writing is 5,500 years old.Here are some inspiring facts about writing that may get you going right away. Top Jaw-Dropping Facts about WritingĪre you procrastinating instead of writing? We all do it sometimes, and it often seems like there is no remedy for this. Writing has become a standard practice to express and exchange thoughts and valuable information centuries ago, and now we are happy to collect some fascinating facts about writing and writers. Written communication skills are currently among the most sought-after skills for new hires, and writing is also an art form that can help us to explore self-expression. Even writers who have experienced exceptional success will spend a lifetime studying the art of writing in order to forever improve. Different types of writing can be included in this category: an analytical research paper, work on identifying the best ways and techniques for a particular topic, etc.Writing is one of the most valued skills in the modern world, but also one of the skills that is most difficult to master. If you not only want to describe a specific problem or to convey an idea to your readers, but also expect to promote your personal theory and receive the approval of a respected scientific community, it’s necessary to choose a topic which allows you to present your own ideas. □ Specific Research Proposal TopicsĬomposing a research proposal can sometimes be a part of a big study. ![]() It might also be helpful to look at some great research paper samples. However, they are divided into categories to make choosing one easier. With all of these topics at your disposal, you might still be feeling a little overwhelmed. Any deviations and ambiguous arguments can be regarded as an author’s incompetent attempt to investigate a complex topic. This science requires concrete and well-grounded answers. The purpose of a research paper in this field is to cover current public issues, reveal important aspects of various problems, and, if possible, offer optimal solutions. It is essential to remember that a good research paper on the subject of sociology will be appreciated by readers if you study a specific social phenomenon in detail, carry out statistical analysis, and perform a number of important procedures. Make a case study on the prevalence of workplace gender discrimination in your community. ![]() ![]() Historically, the voltage drop on a long run of lights has been an argument for using line voltage. Line voltage outdoor lighting fixtures tend to be very big and output a lot of light. Outdoor lighting at 120V is mainly used for lighting large areas, using fewer but brighter fixtures, or in residential applications where there is extensive up-lighting on a large canopy of big trees (although modern low voltage LED fixtures have enough power for this application now too). The 120V outdoor lighting cable must be buried 18″ underground, placed in conduit, and have sealed junction boxes at connection points. Line voltage outdoor lighting is labor-intensive and requires an electrician for installation.

Additionally, there are far more choices of low voltage landscape lighting fixtures, bulbs, wattages, and designs. Low voltage landscape lighting lowers the risk of shock and is easy to install since the cable does not need to be buried. Some advantages of 12V landscape lighting include the fact that they are easier to install, less expensive, safer, and you do not need to be a licensed electrician to work with them. ![]() Low voltage landscape lighting is the most common option for residential outdoor lighting.

Noel Murray Published MaReviews DVDs Chop Suey Not since Leni Riefenstahl has a documentarian been so captivated by the human form as filmmaker and photographer Bruce Weber. Turned from shy naïf to nude exhibitionist, Johnson's straight machismo is affectionately subverted as Weber shoots him in a variety of homoerotic poses (running around naked on a beach with a baby elephant (!), modelling the latest Calvin Klein underwear, and wearing dresses).Īs the director freely admits, Johnson was exactly the kind of straight, athletic jock who he'd never have been able to approach at college without ridicule. Under the delightful rhythm, the chorus gently repeats: 'People need no freedom, this is the best era.' Ironically (but not surprisingly), this song and Li Zhi both got banned in China. Weber's relationship with the thoroughly straight Johnson is the most interesting part of the film.

People Need No Freedom is a reggae song written and performed by indie musician Li Zhi. It's an eclectic film, held together only by Weber's ironic voice-over narration and the endless shots of the beautiful Johnson, who doesn't have much to contribute to the meetings with various celebrities that Weber sets up other than a few "wows" or blank expressions. But this time, instead of concentrating only on his subject, Weber takes the film in random directions, turning the film into a jazz-style selection of improvisational riffs that encompass vignettes about lesbian cabaret singer Frances Faye, stories about Hollywood stars like Frank Sinatra and Robert Mitchum, as well as a family of extreme-surfers and Liz Taylor's 'bodyguard'.
