It's not interactive, and people aren't paying attention to each other," Caravello said. ![]() The same restaurants, same bars, same happy hours. And they realized customers were spending more time (and money) at the bar because there were games to share. The outdoor gaming component was especially important to the proprietors of NettBar as a way to distinguish it from other neighborhood bars. "We want to be everyone's bar - a calm, relaxing atmosphere that's close, a friendly place where you can have a few cocktails and play games." All the condos that have come up have no backyards," said John Caravello, a partner at NettBar. "We try to be the backyard nobody has in the area. To name a few: Beaver's on Westheimer, Kirby Ice House, Axelrad Beer Garden, Cottonwood, The Boot, Liberty Station and Brooklyn Athletic Club on Richmond, which offers bocce and croquet and bills itself as a "hip eatery and bar with upscale comfort classics." The newbie establishments join a slew of other bars already catering to those who like a cold beer and a hot patio where friendly games play out through the night. Nearby, NettBar has three bocce courts, cornhole, washers, ladders, Jenga, Connect Four and even dominos. Patrons can play pingpong, cornhole and bocce at FM Kitchen and Bar along the Washington Corridor. Balls Out Burger, also in the Heights, sports a 4,000-square-foot patio where guests can dabble in cornhole, giant Jenga, giant Connect Four and darts. The new King's Bierhaus, a massive German-style beer garden in the Heights, offers cornhole, pingpong and giant Jenga. It adds to the experience."Īll around town, games seem to be doing that. "If you've been in the office all day sitting, it's nice to move around," said James Zhao, who works in energy in Houston and recently met friends at Heights Bier Garten, where he played cornhole. These eateries serving up casual food and drink with a healthy dose of customer participation suggest a dining trend built on an old-school way of socializing: active interaction, beyond your smartphone. Whether it's bocce or washers, outdoor pingpong or pool, giant Jenga or Connect Four, bar games are becoming a must-have accessory on many of the city's buzziest patios. If you're not familiar with cornhole, the bean-bag-toss lawn game, then you haven't been frequenting new restaurants and bars throughout Houston. ![]() Karen Warren/Staff Photographer Show More Show Less Many of the city's buzziest patios are keeping patrons engaged with a variety of games.

For me, all of these elements come together to create a very memorable character. They’re usually rarely seen supporting characters. Moreover, it’s fairly rare to have an aloof mastermind as such a present part of the main cast. Visually she seems meant to stand out and it probably the most instantly recognizable of the three from a distance. And her character design is also very striking. She’s a calculating mastermind but she likes to get goofy and has a silly sneakers backpack. She has a sharp tongue but she’s quick to give praise. She’s cool almost cold, no nonsense and pragmatic but she’s also an extremely devoted friend and she isn’t embarrassed or shy about it at all. ![]() I think that Kanamori is a collection of tropes that are all familiar but not always grouped together. In short, she’s just kind of perfect within this context. I kind of feel that so much of this anime is sickly-sweet with enthusiasm for the medium, that Kanamori’s more grounded nature really helps me connect with this trio and she points out the pitfalls of the girls’ plan as they embellish the robot before the audience needs to start picking holes in the story. I absolutely love her, the practical nature of her character, the way she keeps the other two in check but also respects their strengths, and her general commentary on events. Within a brilliant and well balanced cast she still manages to shine brightly and and despite being in the background of so many shots her remarks cut through so much of the clutter and end up stealing the scene. I’d like to go on a small tangent from reviewing the episode and take a moment to discuss Kanamori. Wait, what was the question? Oh yeah, Eizouken rules. Eizouken is a great episode to watch with friends to begin with and sharing passions is always the best. ![]() Man I would have loved to have seen the episode with Scott. Combine this with the tip above to export any selection (even a combination of files and folders) you desire.Įasy, isn't it? It's always nice to have a program that does the heavy lifting for you.If you don't intend to export everything, you can export a selection of files by using your standard techniques for selecting multiple files ( Ctrl+clicking and Shift+clicking).You can also export all the resources of the SWF file by right-clicking on the SWF's filename in the Navigation Pane and choosing Export Selection.Aside from exporting a single file, you can export an entire folder by right-clicking that and choosing Export Selection.Once you found a sound you'd like to export, right-click it, click Export Selection, and proceed with the steps above.The Viewing Pane will change into a basic media player where you can play/pause, stop or enable/disable looping of the sound. Preview a sound by clicking its respective row.Expand the sounds folder by double-clicking it (or clicking the button to the left of it).Getting at the audio files is a bit different, since you can't use the "click-the-thumbnail-in-the-Viewing-Pane" technique for them. Open that folder, and the prize is yours. (If we exported an audio file, we'd have a sounds folder, etc.) menu item, right-click, drag-and-drop, whatever works for you).Īs you can see, JPEXS created an images folder for us. ![]() Open the file in JPEXS (via the File > Open. The Quick Walkthrough Regarding Resource Extractionįor this walkthrough, I'm going to assume you already grabbed an SWF file to break apart. I personally would recommend just letting the installer do it for you, rather than you grabbing Java and installing it yourself. If you're installing JPEXS, it'll offer to install Java for you if you don't have it installed. If you haven't installed your decompiler of choice, do so now. The rest of this section will use this program for a quick walkthrough regarding resource extraction (i.e, the instructions below are for JPEXS) if you did end up paying for Sothink's decompiler, kindly consult its help file to help with translating this process for that program. I personally use JPEXS, despite the Java woes. Proprietary (requires $$$, but you can have the 30-day trial) So far, you have two choices for a Flash decompiler program : What it does is it takes in a Flash file, breaks it apart ( decompiles it), and shows all the goodies contained in it-not just images and audio, but also whatever code contained in it (which should entertain any geek who knows ActionScript for hours). On the down side (from the perspective of a user I'm sure game devs would appreciate this point), it makes it a bit more difficult to extract the images/audio files/other files in question (but not completely impossible).įor this, we need a program called a Flash decompiler. This reduces the amount of requests for files that the game must make, and also eases organization of files within your computer (or the game servers). For instance, in Kancolle, when it needs an image of a shipgirl, it actually downloads a Flash file with all the images of the shipgirl in question (normal, damaged forms, resupply banners, etc.) packaged neatly inside, instead of several image files. ![]() However, aside from serving as the user interface (i.e, the part of the game that you can see and interact with), Flash files serve another purpose: it can also be a nice little container for game assets. Technical Stuff! (You may safely skip this)įlash files are probably better known for games (like Kancolle itself). swf), however, need some extra treatment before they reveal their goodies. 2 The Quick Walkthrough Regarding Resource Extractionįor most files, like images or audio files, you can just use them as soon as you grab them off the Kancolle servers. ![]() People were drowned by hundreds/thousands of emails in their inboxes and they needed a fix.

Furthermore, is CCleaner intelligent enough to discriminate what would be an “unnecessary” file or registry, being Windows registries such a delicate aspect of this operating system? ![]() However, it is not possible to determine up to what extent they improve the performance of the computer. It is true that CCleaner brings interesting additions on top of the basic optimization options Windows has, such as cleaning the registry entries. Windows 11 has been granted with enough tools to allow users to fine-tune and optimize the operating system. Currently it is maintained by the company Piriform, owned by Avast in 2017. Most of the advanced features are paid and are reserved for its Pro version. Its functions include deleting unnecessary files, freeing up hard disk space, uninstalling applications, and blocking cookies or other trace elements. Two years later, CCleaner also debuted on Android, until it became the multi-platform tool it is today. ![]() However, it was so popular that in 2012 a new version was released for macOS. This optimization tool was mainly developed for Windows systems. For those users who didn’t know how to perform these tasks manually (and even those knowing) this was the panacea of the optimization chores in a computer. What is CCleaner and what is it used for?ĬCleaner is a software containing a set of tools to clean the hard disk and memory of our operating system and removing unnecessary files. In case you haven’t, we are going to touch on quick reference points about this software. If you are into computer science or are you a computing devotee, surely you have heard CCleaner before. The golden question is: Do I really need CCleaner in Windows 11? Let’s analyze this in more depth. On the other hand, Windows 11 have integrated numerous privacy policies and regulations to protect the user against these garbage files. This software removes unwanted files and unnecessary system registry entries from our PC we wouldn’t even know we had otherwise.

The House of the Tailor can be ongoing with the help of enthusiastic volunteers who commit to The Tailor of Gloucester, both with care for your experience at The Tailor of Gloucester, and knowledge regarding Beatrix Potter and her works. ![]() In 1904, Potter stayed in a house further around Derwentwater from Fawe Park, called Lingholm. The places she visited with her family provided endless inspiration for her imagery. This was the building, Beatrix Potter chose to draw (page 37 in The Tailor of Gloucester) which inspired her to write what she described as her ‘favourite book’. The appeal of Beatrix Potters book illustrations lies in the combination of romance and fantasy with a strong sense of place captured in realistic backdrops. It is in College Court which stands within the shadow of the Cathedral. Esthwaite Water where Beatrix walked with William Heelis. The House of the Tailor of Gloucester is today a charming museum and quaint shop. Hill Top, the house which Beatrix bought from the money she made from the publication of Peter Rabbit. Once owned by Beatrix Potter, who left it to The National Trust, it was used as Miss Potter’s home in the film of the same name, starring Rene Zellweger and Ewan McGregor. We welcome you to the official website of Beatrix Potter’s The Tailor of Gloucester museum and shop.

The following graph provides the typical low pass filter frequency response with regards to the gain, we can clearly see how the response attenuates (gradually drops) as the frequency increases past the particular cut-off threshold. Normally opamps are employed for making such filter circuits, since opamps are best suited for these applications due to their extremely versatile characteristics. How Low Pass Filters WorkĪs the name suggest low pass filter circuits are designed to pass or conduct a preferred range of frequency lower or below a desired cut-off threshold, and attenuate or gradually block the frequencies above this value. The above discussions shows how simply anybody can calculate and design a high-pass filter circuit quickly for a particular application which could be a treble control circuit, a 10 band graphic equalizer or a home theater circuit etc. The single supply version of the high pass filter circuit can be seen involving another capacitor Cout which is not at all critical and can be approximately 100 or 1000 times more than C1. Here the term "frequency" refers to the desired high-pass cut-off threshold below which other unwanted frequencies need to be attenuated or ignored gradually.įinally, calculate R2 in the same way as above using the following equation: ![]() Next, calculate R1 by using the following formula: How to Design a Customized High Pass FilterĪs proposed, to design a high-pass filter circuit quickly, the following formulas and the subsequent steps can be used for calculating the relevant resistors and capacitors.įirst, select an appropriate value arbitrarily for C1 or C2, both can be identical. In both the above configurations, the opamp forms the central processing active component, while the associated resistors and capacitors wired across the input pins of the opamp are introduced for determining the high-pass filter cut-off point, depending upon how the values of these passive components are calculated as per the users specifications or requirements. The following two images are configured as standard high-pass filter circuits, where the first one is designed to work with a dual supply whereas the second one is specified to operate with a single supply. The following high pass filter response graph shows the waveform image indicating how all frequencies below a selected cut-off threshold are attenuated or blocked gradually, as frequency decreases. The cut-off range is generally at a relatively higher frequency range (in kHz), The principle is just opposite to a low-pass filter circuit. As the name suggests a high-pass filter circuit is designed to attenuate all frequencies below a particular selected frequency, and pass or allow all frequencies above this threshold. |
