(it simply tries to fit a bunch of circles into a given rectangle). The original algorithm does not produce the smallest rectangle to hold all the circles The algorithm simply starts with the four bounding circles and adds one circle at a time, using the greedy heuristic lambda parameter to pick the "best" location. This also simplifies the start condition greatly. The "corner" circles (as the algorithm calls them) are all computed as tangents to a pair of circles, thus eliminating the special circle+segment or segment+segment cases. They are computed to pass through the corners of the bounding box and converge toward the actual sides when the radius grows. ![]() The picture shows what the 4 bounding circles look like when the radius is decreased. Instead of segments defining the bounding box, I used circles with "infinite" radii, that can be considered a good approximation of lines: I used a trick to make the computation more regular. I tweaked it quite a bit, but I think it does basically the same thing. Here is a go at the implementation of your algorithm. ![]() ![]() ![]() So it’s not necessary to build military buildings yourself. Some buildings of purple will become yours, when you destroy the nearby castles. He creates a variety of units, so be careful when you fight them.

It’s not exactly necessary to attack them, except sometimes when you have to kill them to clear the way. > They follow the first enemy that they see in their area, so you can use 1 unit to bait your enemies.

Essentially, “Miss Ann” is a white woman who is complicit with racism, using the racial hierarchy and the patriarchy to her advantage. The moniker is a derivative of “Miss Ann”, a nickname developed by Black people in the Antebellum period to throw shade in secret. The only thing the internet reached a consensus about was that Abagail Elphick was indeed, a Karen. “My god When she ‘passed out’ and everyone just went about their business killed me!” This woman had to record her, goodness knows how it would’ve ended.” Calling the police on a black woman saying she’s threatening her. I had to laugh at the end you just continued doing your shopping after her fainting act.” Anyone who’s had an actual panic attack knows that.” According to Ukenta, Elphick continuously told the police she was panicking because she didn’t want Ukenta’s video to interfere with her job or her apartment lease.Įlphick was dragged by the internet for her actions, with commenters under Ukenta’s videos finding the situation absurdly comical or blatantly offensive. She also disclosed that in the police report, Elphick had claimed that she was having a panic attack because of Ukenta’s recording, but refused any medical assistance the cops offered her. Ukenta filed a report against the mall security guards and the police officers for neglecting to assist her properly. I’m feeling threatened!” Eventually, two police officers arrive and attempt to console her. My heart’s racing.” She even bucks at Ukenta with her fists clenched before telling police “Please come now. She maintains that she’s recording to protect herself in case law enforcement doesn’t believe her side of the story, but the recording makes Elphick more enraged.Įlphick calls the police, saying, “She’s recording me and threatening me. Ukenta maintains a distance from Elhpick the entire time, keeping one furniture fixture between them and staying out of reach. In fact, two of them scold Ukenta, telling her to stop recording and leave Elphick alone. None of the on-looking customers try to help Ms.Ukenta. She “faints” on the floor in front of the cash register, screams at Ukenta, and chases Ukenta around the store, yelling “GET AWAY” while running towards her. “I didn’t try to hit you, please stop recording me.” As Ukenta tries to ask for help from store attendants the woman wails louder, drowning her out.Īs the video series continues, Elphick’s actions become more drastic. As Ukenta exclaims that Elphick tried to hit her, Elphick launches into denial, saying over and over again, ![]() Ukenta before dramatically throwing her top onto the counter and sobs. Ukenta dodges and Elphick backs away, looking between the cashier and Ms. The first video starts abruptly as Ukenta mumbles an, “Excuse you,” and Elphick raises her hand to strike her. While the events leading up to their altercation are unclear, Ukenta’s 7-video saga on her YouTube channel, MAMA AFRICA MUSLIMA, catches Elphick’s breakdown in its entirety. Ijeoma Ukenta, a Nigerian-American Muslim, was shopping at the Short Hill Mall in New Jersey when she encountered Abigail Elphick, a high school teaching aide who has now been dubbed “The Victoria’s Secret Karen” by many circles of the internet. You’re going to jail, b–h.She just wanted to get a free item from Victoria’s Secret and now she’s pressing charges. “Whoa, back up - this is not your f–king dog. “Get the f–k out of here, you dumb b-h!” he says. ![]() He then turns his ire back toward the unidentified woman. “What the f–k!” the man says while petting the yelping puppy at his feet.

The price is about the same as TL Space or any other in depth reverb, so this shouldn't be a deterrent. It has a top notch sound quality as well, as everything is sampled from a real environment as far as I know. I can't say enough about how much control you have over your sound with the Audio Ease Altiverb 6 Regular plug-in. This is definitely a plug-in that will take up more processing power than most, but as long as you use the power wisely and don't go too crazy with it, a good system should be able to support it without a hitch. I can't say that I've had any issues running the plug-in, but I've only run up to three instances of the plug-in within a single session, as I always run my reverb plug-ins on auxiliary channels to save processing power. I have run the Audio Ease Altiverb 6 Regular on a Pro Tools LE system with a powerful Mac computer and a Digi 003 audio interface. I've never had access to the manual for this plug-in, so I don't know how helpful it would be. It also offers up a lot of different preset rooms, so you have a starting point. The plug-in has so much control over your sound that it would simply take too long to list here, but just know that this is one of the most in depth reverb plug-in I've used. The interface of the software certainly has a lot of features and options to offer, but I still found it to be user friendly and easy to understand. I didn't have anything to do with the installation of the software, as the studio that I used it in already had it installed and running. It comes in pretty much all formats as you can get a TDM, RTAS, VST, or AU version of it. The Audio Ease Altiverb 6 Regular plug-in is an extremely in depth reverb modeling piece of software. I have used a lot of other reverb plugins (audio damage, built in Logic and Ableton plugins, lexicon which were pretty good, etc.) Yes, I would buy this again. It is really the best one I have used to date. $500 is a lot to spend on a plugin, but if you are doing a lot of work and want access to a lot of different high quality reverbs, this unit will make you very happy even at that price point. Other than the issue with the samples not showing up when using the ext hdd, there are no problems. ![]() Most likely due to its convenient home in my computer but also because it is just so great sounding. We have a few hardware reverbs and I still like to use them for their specific characters, but I find myself pulling this out way more often. I expected really good reverbs for the price, but I was very impressed when used in our studio. What I like most about this unit is the reverbs are top notch. I have been using this plugin for about 6 months now. Switching between presets is quick and simple and there is no clicking noises when doing so. After a week of that I just decided to put in on my internal hdd and have had no problems since. All I had to do was go into the settings and point it back to the HDD. I had initially setup up the IR samples to reside on an external hdd but I found that everytime I opened up the plugin, they were not showing up. Yes, the software works great with the exception of one problem. All of the parameters are easily accessed. Yes, the general configuration is fairly simple. If you are familiar how reverbs work, you only need to reference it for certain things specific to this software. I use this in both Logic 9 and Ableton 8 and I have had no compatibility issues. or 9.5, and most importantly, a team AudioEase is really charming and 'responsive'. The app is stable, not too resource intensive, in short, you understand, I find this exciting product. ![]() You can have as many levels in a Mix: reverbs short, long, flat for a throw light, strange effects. It gives a dimension of realism to his bluffing. No worries with AudioUnit and MAS DP7.Ī setting that I love is taking a piano sound "dry" (or Kontakt Motu MSI) and its qualification by the Impulse Response shortcut Bosendorfer. The presets are innumerable, almost 2G to download. It also reminds me my old Eventide H3000 by adjusting the multiplicity of proposed. For the first time I have a reverb app that competition really my Lexicon (MPX 1), which has a density for short reverbs absolutely incredible. Version 5 mind-blowing, but I think the 6 is still above. So the top! response within hours, the link, the answer to the license. Error! AudioEase offered me a free passage and Intel update from version 6! I just had to demnder giving the serial number. I thought the Altiverb existed only for Power PC. He dies, coolant leak on microprocessors. ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, the scares get a real boost every few years when someone, often a parent, dies while eating Halloween candy or immediately afterwards. Plus, after the terrifyingly random Tylenol murders of 1982 where seven Chicagoland people died after taking randomly poisoned pain medication, many people have been more than a little nervous about crazed poisoners. It’s only natural that parents would get a little nervous. After all, parents spend 364 days of every year telling their kids not to take candy from strangers precisely because it might be poisoned, then give the thumbs-up to taking snacks from every house in the neighborhood on Halloween. It’s easy to see how these urban legends have taken hold because they’re so terrifying. His family then sprinkled the drug on the boy’s Halloween candy to throw off investigators. He had stumbled across his uncle’s heroin stash and mistakenly eaten it. Tests on his Halloween candy showed that some had been sprinkled with the drug, but the police actually learned the tragic truth behind the boy’s death. In 1970, a five-year-old in Detroit died after ingesting a massive amount of heroin. Snopes has collected an impressive array of stories where randomly poisoned Halloween candy was blamed for deaths, though. So nobody’s ever died from poisoned Halloween candy?īy all indications, no. While his crime was certainly a horrific one, it was hardly the sort of random poisoning that parents fear. O’Bryan was eventually convicted and executed for murdering his son. Luckily, his daughter and the other two children had passed up the poisoned powders in favor of other treats. To help cover his tracks, O’Bryan also gave two other children cyanide Pixy Stix. Although the poisoning initially looked like it might have been the work of a deranged homeowner, the investigation into O’Bryan’s murder soon centered on his father, Ronald Clark O’Bryan.Ī bit of digging revealed that Ronald O’Bryan had recently taken out hefty life insurance policies on both of his children, and police quickly built a case, albeit a circumstantial one, that O’Bryan had given both Timothy and his daughter, Elizabeth, the poison candy to try to collect on the policies. In 1974, an eight-year-old Houston boy named Timothy O’Bryan died after eating cyanide-laced Pixy Stix while trick-or-treating. Has anyone ever really handed out poisoned Halloween candy? Of course, when kids start wolfing down their treats, there’s always one grim specter lurking in the back of parents' minds: what if some madman had filled their candy with poison, razor blades, needles, or some other decidedly terrifying foreign substance? But has this actually ever happened? Let’s take a look at how realistic these fears are. Seriously, what could be better than that? Not only do you get to put on a snappy new costume and pretend to be a monster, superhero, or princess, but you also get free candy just for ringing doorbells. Halloween has to be one of the best days on a kid’s calendar. ![]() ![]() ![]() Starting from ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Release 4 Update 2, the registration parameters of “Unknown” documents will be However, users may want to see the registration parameters of “Unknown” documents in their reports.

It's not that I didn't like replaying the levels, it's that the feeling of getting a high score is cheapened by using an upgraded drone.So you’ve been playing Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions for a little while and are looking for an extra edge and possibly a way to earn some three-star levels now that it’s a bit harder. This combined with some of the disorienting nature of the levels left me to spend most of my time with the classic Deadline and Evolved modes. ![]() What this means is you'll be bouncing back and forth struggling to unlock more stars just to progress. I'd say the requirements are just on the edge of unfair on your first time through, especially for newcomers. Boss battles are gated by star count, which means you'll need earn a specific number of stars to progress to or past a boss. Once unlocked players can upgrade the abilities of each of these by earning points from replaying levels.Īnd in that reveals what I feel is Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions biggest problem - forcing the players into an upgrade and replay type scenario on the levels. These are limited use specials, much like smart bombs. You'll also unlock a special ability for the drone like mines or homing missiles. Players gain a little drone that can do secondary things like shoot extra bullets or even collect the multiplier giving geoms that dropped from enemies. Defeating the boss usually unlocks one of two things. While it's an interesting wrinkle to the formula, I found the shape movement combined with the camera disorienting, even nauseating.Įvery ten levels you'll hit a boss battle, which players take on typical pattern based bosses. ![]() These missions also take place on irregular shaped boards - not simply a square grid - but instead on three dimensional shapes like spheres, peanut shapes, and cubes. Another has players stopping shapes from painting the all the grid's squares. On top of the familiar game modes you'll find some news one too - there's one called Titan that pits players against gigantic versions of the classic shapes that you slowly chip away at until they become the default size. While there's no story to be had, after all that would be silly, you will be taking on carefully planned out levels. You'll find many of the familiar game play styles here like Evolved, Pacifism, King, and others where your goal is to achieve a score target within a three star ranking. The game's adventure mode is an interesting take on a progressive system for a twin stick shooter. For $15 you're getting a big bang for your buck, especially if you're a fan of the series who paid full (retail) price for Geometry Wars Galaxies back on the Wii or DS. Developed by Lucid Games, a new studio founded by former Bizarre Creations developers, GW3 is the most feature rich game of the entire series containing a full on “adventure” mode with 50 levels and boss battles, an online versus mode, a local co-op mode, and classic game play modes like Evolved, Pacifism, and Deadline. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions takes the formula created by it's predecessors and adds numerous layers onto it. Geometry Wars is a series that's always served that place for me and the third iteration of the series Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, might be the first time I realize what makes the others so great. Sometimes it's tough to put a beat on just what component it is about the game that makes it stand out, to have “it.” But when a game successfully hooks you, it's hard to deny going back for more. There's something to be said about a simple game that's also incredibly addictive. ![]() |
