![]() His courtesy name is Zhongli, but because of his nature of lenience and magnanimous, people of his time called him “Kuan”, which means wide. According to Chinese art history, he was born at the end of Five Dynasties, and still alive during Tianren years of the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song (1023~1031). His works include “Shuangxi Tu” (《双喜图》, Double Happiness), “Hanque Tu” (《寒雀图》, Sparrow in Cold Days), and “Zhu’ou Tu”(《竹鸥图》, Bamboo and Gull), etc.įan Kuan is known to be one of the leading figures in the Northern Song Landscape tradition and one of the most appreciated landscape artists in traditional China. He broke the court tradition created by Huang Quan and his son in the early period of Song dynasty, who had founded the standard to paint flower and bird in a luxuary way, and originated a new style in the Imperial Art Academy. Cui Bai was good at flower-and-bird painting, as well as Buddhism mural painting. Appreciated by Shenzong, he became a Yixue (艺学, a title in the Imperial Art Academy, lower than painter-in-attendance) and later panter-in-attendance in the Imperial Art Academy. Cui Bai was active during the reign of the Emperor Shenzong of Song. His tomb is 35 miles away from Shaoxing county in Zhejiang province.Ĭhinese painter in the Northern Song dynasty. Nine years later he died in captivity at the age of 54. In 1127, Huizong, his son Emperor Qinzong, as well as the entire imperial court and harem were captured by the Jin in the Jingkang Incident. When Jin Dynasty declared war on Song in 1126, Huizong lost it and had to escape. He was an accomplished painter, calligrapher and art supporter. During his reign, Huizong devoted himself into art more than into governing the empire. After the death of Zhezong, Huizong’s mother made him the eighth emperor of Song Dynasty (r. The brother of the Emperor Zhezong of Song. The eleventh son of the Emperor Shenzong of Song. Thus the afterworld gave him the name of Poet-Historian and the Poet-Sage.Įmperor of Northern Song Dynasty. He also possesses a remarkable power of description, with which he vividly presents human affairs and natural scenery. Of his poetic writing, nearly fifteen hundred poems written by Du Fu have been handed down over the ages, most of which expressed a sincere and broad concern for humanity. ![]() Initially little known, his works came to be hugely influential in both Chinese and Japanese culture. His life, like the whole country, was devastated by the An Lushan Rebellion of 755, and the last 15 years of his life were a time of almost constant unrest. He only served in some low-level position, such as the military adviser in a regional governor's headquarters and concurrently assistant secretary in the Board of Works (Gong Bu). Du Fu’s own greatest ambition was to help his country by becoming a successful civil servant, but he proved unable to make the necessary accommodations. His courtesy name was Zi Mei, and he called himself “Shao Ling countryside aged”, “Du Shao Ling”, “Du Gong Bu”, etc. Around 4th century, with the popularization of paper, the status of bamboo slips was eventually replaced.ĭu Fu was a prominent Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty. Bamboo slip was invented in Western Zhou, and was widely accepted during Spring and Autumn Period and Warring Period. Wooden tablet was often used for short essays. These rolls were the earliest form of Chinese books. Upon the finish, the slips were bound by strings and rolled up for storage. The writing tools of bamboo slip were Chinese brush and ink, and only one line of text can be handwritten on each slip. ![]() Slit used to be the general name, but now it’s often called bamboo slip. It’s called slip if it’s made from bamboo, and called tablet if it’s made from wood. Tablets or slips made from bamboo (or wood) for writing in ancient China. Where not otherwise indicated, the Chinese papers used for prints and paintings in the exhibition are on a variety of xuan paper. They are fine, soft, resistant to insect damage, and their pure white color lasts long to retard absorption of the ink, they may be treated with alum. After maceration, the fibers are treated with lime, exposed to sunlight, bleached, and washed with starch. The bark of Pteroceltis tatarinowii and straw are the main raw materials for producing Xuan paper. ![]() It was first produced in Xuanzhou (now the Jing County of East China's, Anhui Province), hence the name of Xuan paper.

My sole purpose is to delete the virtual machine I originally created to run XP Mode in order to save disk space and backup time. vmcx file I won’t inadvertently be disabling the ability of W7 to create future XP Mode virtual machines. I should make very clear that I want to be careful NOT to delete the ability of W7 to create another XP Mode virtual machine in the future, should I want to do so for whatever reason, so I want to be sure that in deleting this. The Technet instructions do not mention removing virtual machine files in this subdirectory, nor do they say to remove files with that file extension (.vmcX), so I want to be cautious and find out if anyone knows if this file should be deleted too. However, I have located another Virtual Machines folder at C:Users”User Name”Virtual Machines which contains a 512MB file entitled “Windows XP Mode.vmcx”.

It’s amazing how, when you change just one word in your Search terms, you suddenly get much better answers from the Internet. Well, I’ve finally managed to find the answer to (almost all of) my own question, so I thought I’d post it here in case others are trying to do the same thing. This is typical of the area I live in, lots more work than there are people to do it and that applies to all the trades whether you need a carpenter or a painter. I could tell they were just throwing high prices at me otherwise how could you commit to something you can’t see first. Only 2 called me back and gave me prices over the phone. I called everybody doing this business within a ten mile radius, 16 businesses to be exact. The grounds services or landscapers near me have all the work they need and won’t bother to talk to any new customers, and it does’t matter what time of the year it is! Oh yeah, it’s true, I went to guys working on my street asking if they would like another customer and they just laughed at me. During the years I couldn’t do my own property I couldn’t get anybody to do the work needed unless I hired a big commercial company and paid an ultra high price. I was forced into early retirement because I got severe arthritis 7 years ago losing the joints in my hips and knees. Lastly, when did the new HS 82 trimmer come out? Did the Stihl trimmer line up move up each time by one number, example: HS 80, 81 and now the 82? Can I just swap out the cutters on the “R” for a set of “T” blades? That is the only difference - isn’t it? Question is for later I’ll be better off using an 82 “T” for fine trimming, but I’m cheap at times and don’t want to buy another trimmer. Granted, I have a lot of woodsy bush recovery to do and the 82 “R” is made with that in mind. It’s a lot easier to tackle this after a good hard frost when there is a lot less ticks, bugs and bees, not to mention I wouldn’t want to do this when it’s hot outside! Over 40 untamed boxwoods, about 20 miscellaneous bushes and a wooded area left to grow wild with under brush. ![]() There is a job I can do over the winter as the weather permits. ![]() New they list at $565, I got mine for $280, it includes 6% tax and $45 shipping on EBay.

Last modified: Febru(Current as of Chrome. ![]() Long story short, the prices are a little high for what this password manager offers, but I do have to give the team behind Data Vault props for avoiding a subscription model. With that said, this program isn’t alone in the arena of paid password managers, and I feel that a program like oneSafe or My Passwords does a better job (and they even cost less!) If you’re looking for a password manager to use for the long haul, you may find DataVault a more attractive option than a subscription-based option. The good news, however, is that you’ll only be paying a one-time fee per program-allowing you to skip those annoying ongoing fees. Unfortunately, there is no free plan available with DataVault. DataVault Plans and PricingĭataVaults pricing is very easy to understand, but the high prices and the fact that you have to purchase the mobile apps separately made me question whether this password manager was really worth the cost. There are many other Password managers that do a better job overall. ![]() However, the fact that I continue to struggle to get autofill to work on my PC and the lack of file storage caused me to give a lukewarm DataVault review in this section. DataVault Features Final ImpressionsĪt face value, DataVault seems to have pretty much everything you’d need in a password manager. It really adds peace of mind to be able to look back at who has accessed and used the database since you can confirm that no one has broken in. One cool feature that DataVault does bring to the table is an easily accessible activity log. It’s a great way to ensure that your logins are difficult to hack and takes the hassle out of generating one yourself. In the event that you’re creating a new login, or even if you’re just going back to your older logins and revising them for better security DataVault has you covered with a password generator that can give you a secure string of characters that meet your specifications. It’s not integral to the password management process, but I found myself making a few links to my favorite sites to save myself a few seconds. Once you create an entry in the program with a website login, you can actually create a shortcut to put where you please to automatically open the site and enter your credentials. If you’re transitioning to DataVault from another password manager, worry not as the program features an import feature that allows you to put your existing information into your new installation. Unfortunately, this utility doesn’t work automatically and requires you to have the app open on both devices, but it’s still a nice inclusion that lets you transfer data back and forth from time to time. ![]() When you first install DataVault for windows, you’ll be asked whether you’d like to sync your data between mobile and PC. This is the first of several instances where I found the mobile app to be much better designed than the PC version, and it appears many people feel the same way going by the 4.5 star rating on the App Store and the 2 stars for the browser extensions on PC. I personally had a lot of trouble getting the web form autofill to work on my PC, although it did work very well on my iPhone. If you’re just looking for a program that can handle the management and storage of your passwords, DataVault gets the job done. While DataVault might run into its share of pitfalls when it comes to offering a comprehensive and effective password manager, it does do a good job at storing your passwords in an encrypted safe with military-grade standards, and there’s no limit on the amount of storage. DataVault Features Encrypted Password Storage Read on for an in-depth DataVault review to find out whether or not it’s worth your money and attention. I’ve reviewed nearly 70 password managers in order to bring you unbiased evaluations of the various programs on the market. There’s some crucial information regarding the program that you need to know before you buy. Did DataVault just get a bad rap? Or is there something broken beneath the surface. Honestly, if you’re looking for a good, low-cost password manager with tons of features and user-friendly apps for all platforms, you should take a look at premium options like 1Password or Dashlane.ĭataVault’s website features glowing reviews from customers that were thrilled with the features this password manager brings to the table, but reviews on third-party sites around the web aren’t so positive. DataVault is a pretty basic password manager with poor auto-filling capabilities, an unintuitive dashboard, and high pricing. ![]() You can intentionally start a jump to become throw invincible, then cancel into a special move to punish a throw the timing is very strict, however.Cannot cancel into techniques like Drive Impact or Drive Parry.Can be canceled into special moves, which allows some input leniency (e.g.Prejump frames are unthrowable, but considered grounded if hit by a strike or projectile.Jumps begin with 4 prejump frames (except for Lily and Zangief with 5 prejump frames) Mixing up between walking, dashing, and jumping can overload the opponent's reactions, making it possible to get close to the opponent even while using "reactable" movement options. Forward jumps are a common method of approaching, but are the easiest for the opponent to predict and anti-air. Back jumps can help gain distance similar to a backdash. Neutral jumps are useful for avoiding projectiles or baiting an opponent's throw whiff. Most characters have restricted options in the air, and there's no air-blocking. When attempting to dash on wakeup or after hitstun/blockstun, there is usually a 7f window to input it with reversal timing (though some moves are bugged, reducing the buffer window after hit/block). This means that the fastest possible forward dash input is 6~5~6 (3f total) and the slowest is 6(8f)~5(8f)~6 (17f total). When inputting a Dash, the initial forward/back input must be held for no longer than 8 frames, and the neutral time between inputs also has a maximum of 8 frames. Unlike some previous Street Fighter titles, there are no Airborne frames during a backdash, and being hit during the animation does not result in a Counterhit. Backdashes are also Throw Invincible from frames 1-15, making them useful for escaping pressure. Compared to walking, a Dash covers ground more quickly in exchange for higher commitment you are vulnerable throughout the entire animation and cannot cancel it to block or tech a throw. Tap twice in either direction (66 or 44) to perform a Dash. In most scenarios this difference is irrelevant, but it may limit the existence of extended combos involving short microwalks. Tapping forward twice for 1f at a time will move less than holding forward for 2f. The first frame of walking has 1/4 its usual speed for example, Chun-Li's forward walk speed starts at 1.25, then becomes 5.00 on the next frame. It may also allow certain characters to escape common tick throw setups. A faster back walk speed makes it easier to create separation on defense, as well as walk in and out of the opponent's attack range to bait a response. Walking forward also allows characters to build additional Drive gauge this can actually be stronger on slow characters, as they can hold forward for a longer time without reaching the opponent. A faster forward walk makes it easier to gain ground against a zoning opponent, walk in for tick throws, and generally apply offense. The speed at which a character walks is not universal a faster walk speed is desirable, but a slow walk speed is not necessarily indicative of a weak character. Tapping up will cause the character to jump, either straight up or in the left/right direction. Holding down will make the character crouch, and you cannot walk while crouching. ![]() Holding right/left will walk forward/back. ![]() To move, use the D-Pad, joystick, or directional buttons (depending on your input device). Techniques like Short Hop, Super Jump, or Run occasionally exist as character-specific abilities. Street Fighter traditionally has restrictive movement compared to other fighting games characters are primarily limited to walking, dashing, and jumping. Downloadable app available for macOS, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS – Pro plans only Gravit Designerīrowser app, all major browsers supported – Free, or Pro plan for $50 per year. While it’s only available for macOS, it’s still a powerful and affordable prototyper no matter where your project will be deployed. However, the toolbars can be customized to your heart’s content. I wish Sketch’s interface emphasized object creation more than object arrangement. It still has a core of vector graphics functionality, but the focus is less on illustration and more on design. As its user base developed, Sketch focused more on interface layouts. Sketch was originally a vector graphics program. That means other developers have seized the chance to focus on this expanding need. However, Adobe Illustrator focuses on (you guessed it!) illustration. One of the common uses for vector graphics programs is to rapidly develop digital prototypes for websites, apps, and other on-screen layouts. SketchĪvailable for macOS only – $99 one-time payment However, you may be able to save your old AI files as PSDs and then open them in Graphic. Unfortunately, this means the developers haven’t included support for Illustrator files. Though it’s a vector program, Graphic focuses heavily on working with Photoshop files, which are typically (but not always) pixel-based. It also allows you to work on both your iPad and iPhone, though I’m not sure how productive you’ll be working on a small phone screen. It’s a fully-featured vector graphics program that also plays very nicely with graphics tablets for a more intuitive illustration workflow. If you’re looking for a program designed from the ground up for the Apple ecosystem, Graphic might be the best Illustrator alternative for you. If you’ve already got a ton of projects created with Illustrator that you don’t want to reprocess, Affinity Designer can open and save in Adobe Illustrator’s native AI file format. You could take the time to customize an Illustrator layout that works the same way, but the default options in AD are much clearer. Not only that, but the default styling for handles and anchor points is much easier to work with than Illustrator’s. AD includes a ‘Pixel’ persona, which allows you to instantly switch back and forth between a vector underlay and a pixel-based overlay for advanced texturing. Like the other Affinity programs, AD uses ‘Personas’ to separate feature areas, which helps keep down the clutter when you’re trying to get work done. One of my favorite things about Affinity Designer is the simplicity of its interface. As one of Serif’s oldest programs, it’s had the longest time to mature. It was built from the ground up with modern computing power in mind. ![]() Serif has been making quite a name for itself with the ‘Affinity’ series of programs Affinity Designer is the one that started it all. Procedural shape generation in Affinity Designer Affinity DesignerĪvailable for Windows, macOS, and iPad – $69.99 one-time purchase Unfortunately for those of you on a tight budget, it’s impossible to buy CorelDRAW as a standalone you have to purchase the whole bundle. To sweeten the deal, Corel includes several other programs for graphics professionals such as PHOTO-PAINT and AfterShot Pro. While both the subscription and purchase prices might be eye-popping at first, they’re fairly standard for a professional-level graphics program. There is some basic page layout functionality available, though this aspect doesn’t feel quite as well-developed as its vector illustration tools. Of course, CorelDRAW also provides all the vector drawing tools you’ll ever need, from the standard pen tool to more complex tracing features. It even includes some uniquely impressive features like the LiveSketch tool and collaborative work built right into the program. CorelDRAW is one of the most feature-rich alternatives to Adobe Illustrator for professional users-after all, it’s been around for almost as long. ![]() This is called conducting a ‘Proof of Concept (POC)’, after which comes the big market launch.

In January support for PS1 Fonts will end. Fonts seem to be so simple when everything works, but once you take a closer look the topic is extremely complex. Whenever I had a problem with it (mostly due to my own sloppiness when upgrading to a new computer) my support question was answered closer within minutes than hours. Sure, there is room for improvement - where isn't? - but what is worth so much more than one or the other "coolness" improvement is reliability and service. It might not look as "chiqué " as one or the other (mac) tool, but it works much better once you have got the hang of it. But as soon as you need it, it saves you. JoyousUtnapishtim's Experience I've been using MainType Professional for many years now, and I must admit that every now and then I was wondering if it is worth it, it's price - after all when everything works, you (or at least I) don't have to use it too often. |
