![]() Cutting out images from the great brochures I picked up throughout our journey, looking through my photos on my phone as another inspiration jumping off point, and copying great works of art from postcards I collected along the way all provided me with chances to play with color and image and pattern. Art journaling is often a great way to decompress and I used it that way on this trip. Traveling can be stressful in the best of circumstances. I found inspiration to return to my fine art watercolor painting and figure drawing and had a place to experiment and play right then and there. The best part is that my art journal is a wonderful record of my trip. I'm so happy that I made space in my luggage for these materials because I really used them, really appreciated the stress release I got from keeping up my art journaling practice, and also had a place to explore other aspects of my art practice. ![]() Since I clearly couldn't bring along all the cool supplies I have at Unfold Studio, I scoured Pinterest and other creative spots on the internet to see what other folks packed into a travel aj kit and also analyzed my own process, thinking about each aspect that I wanted to be able to recreate on the road. I spent 2+ weeks in England with my mom and sister and then my husband, Mark, met me in London and we headed to Paris to celebrate our 25th anniversary! I walked (what felt like) a million miles, visited umpteen museums, old gardens and monuments, and ate a lot of croissants! So much beauty and inspiration in that kind of trip and I soaked up every atom of it.īefore I left I was determined to bring along a kit of art supplies so that I could art journal my experience. ![]() I just got back a couple days ago from my fabulous month away in Europe. ![]()

![]() ![]() It is easy to concentrate on the game, the cards and the hand in play. Again, the simplicity of the game works in its favor. The deck, table, bid and cards are all very clear and make it simple to pick up a game and begin playing. What it lacks in detail it makes up for in clarity and ease of use. Spades Solitaire Plus has a very basic UI but it gets the job done. This game seems to have the ads covering the play area issue too but as long as you don’t come up against that, it seems a pretty good game to play. Aside from that, this is a decent game designed to play offline. Not too easy and not too challenging either. Gameplay is straightforward and I would say the AI is middling. Spades Offline – Single Player is another offline spades game just as the name suggests. Spades Offline – Single Player – Android and iOS The only downside to this game is the download size, 66MB, which is sizeable compared to the average 20-30MB of other games. While there aren’t yet many reviews, I had a few games and the game played well and without issue. The game is constantly being developed and seems to have good support too. The art style may seem a little kindergartenish when you first look at the game but once you’re playing, the clarity and simple coloring works in the game’s favor. The AI can be quite challenging and gameplay is fluid and well-paced. The UI is super-simple and a little cartoony but gets the job done. Spades – Play online & offline does exactly what it says on the box. Online play is also fairly easy to get to grips with and adds another dimension to the game, should you want it. There are usually a few players online at peak times and they will have a range of abilities which can challenge you. There are also supposed to be quests and mission-type games too but I didn’t try those. As well as the base game against other players you can play spades offline against bots. The UI is simple but effective and the game itself has been very well reviewed. Spades has an online and offline mode so you can decide to play however you want depending on your mood. Otherwise, Spades Offline is pretty decent game to kill an hour or two. The game plays well and while there are ads and there is an issue with ads covering the play area, most of these spades apps have that. ![]() Otherwise, the user interface is decent, colors are clear, hands are well paced and overall this is a pretty good spades game for anyone who is new to the game. ![]() ![]() While reviews cite poor AI, I think this is a good thing for someone who is just getting to grips with the game. It offers free play with a reasonable challenge. Spades Offline is good for beginners to the game as it isn’t too challenging for a new player. They either play entirely offline or have an offline component that doesn’t need a data connection. These games are a mixture of free with ad support and premium. In this article, I’ve found five Spades versions that offer the highest quality offline play. Spades players who are going to be offline need a Spades variant that will play well when they don’t have Internet access. Spades has a number of features that made it an ideal game for the time: it has a simple premise, needs only four players and although a full game can be quite long, the game can be paused and picked up again without losing track of progress.Īlthough Spades is no longer as popular as gambling games like Poker or Blackjack, it still has a solid following and there are of course a lot of online and offline computer versions of the game. Spades developed in America during the 1930s and then became widely known when it became a game of choice for GIs fighting in World War II. If you like card games, the odds are good that you’re a fan of Spades. Spades is a hugely popular card game that grew from a variant of Whist, a popular game in Victorian England.

For example, when choosing between two candidates for social mobilization of rural communities, one might have experience working with large organizations, but the other candidate might be more suitable based on his/her expertise at the grassroots level. Some candidates might be suitable based on their expertise and experience for the job compared to others. When a potential candidate presents a 30 60 90 day plan, it’s not just a reflection of his/her ideas but also a reflection of the experience and expertise they bring along. Enables Gauging the Experience of Candidates A 30 60 90 day plan template can help employers screen candidates more closely by analyzing the candidate’s capabilities and asking tough questions. Many candidates can be good at expressing their views but not all that good at implementing action plans. Benefits for Employers Helps Thoroughly Screen Candidates It also reflects on your professionalism in a positive way and can help you score some extra points. Such an approach can make your potential employer see that you aren’t coming in with a casual approach. This shows intent and determination, where a potential candidate has taken the time to better understand the job role and provide practical suggestions. Some job applications create a 30 60 90 day plan even if the employer has not asked for it. Many times, it’s not the tough questions that can ruin your job prospects but a simple question that you failed to prepare for. This is where you can fail during a job interview.

You can see it as a tool that improves performance and productivity in the long run. If you’re someone rather new in your career or at an intermediate stage, making 30 60 90 day plans when trying to move up the career ladder can also be a way to sharpen your skills. Furthermore, by dwelling into specifics of the advertised job description, you can also better understand the nature of the job and what you might have to offer to your potential employer. One of the benefits of making a 30 60 90 day plan is that it provides clarity regarding what you might want from the new job. Benefits for Job Applicants Clarity in Job Expectations Similarly, the employer can better screen candidates if they ask for a 30 60 90 day plan. Whether your employer has asked for a 30 60 90 day plan or you take one along without any prior request from the potential employer, there can be a number of benefits for making such a plan. ![]() Organizations usually expect candidates to not only put in an effort to understand and evaluate the organization, projects and working environment but to also add value, optimize procedures and bring positive change. Source: 30-60-90 Day Plan PowerPoint template The plan includes a roadmap to how the candidate aims to learn, add value and play a transformational role within the organization.

Some employers ask candidates to present a 30-60-90 day plan.
![]() ![]() ![]() The 0x2b part I'm not sure about myself but it looks like some other kind of similar checks.Īnd actually then thinking about the way it's calling it, i'm wondering if this is actually from some C++ standard library code for doing stuff with a vtable, looking up the vtable entry and checking it's validity before calling it (in this case, location 0x18, and checking some kind of RTTI at 0x28 and 0x2b) and storing that it's been initialized in 0x21. From my memory, the windows ABI uses the first two bytes of functions for installing hooks/debugging by patching the first two bytes into some kind of jump (while originally being nops). This particular one looks like it's taking a function pointer in and checking if it's a valid function (not null) and then checking the first two bytes of the function. The sibling comment covers it a bit more in detail, but it's largely just some guessing and as much an art to figuring out what the types are or could be. (disclosure: per the child post, my original assumption that OpenRCT2 was copied out of Hex-Rays was inaccurate, since it was originally written in assembler it didn't follow a standard C ABI and the decompiler wouldn't work properly anyway). For example, OpenRCT2 started as a repository full of manually created source with Hex-Rays names and slowly evolved module-by-module into readable source code. Highly manual process, for some files it's just pattern matching / renaming and goes really quickly, for others it's full reimplementation and a bit harder.Īnd, if you look at most "decompiled game" projects, I think this is the industry standard way to do this. When I've done this in the past, it basically consists of:ġ) Decompile project using Ghidra/IDA, first pass.Ģ) Load symbols if present (sounds like there was a PDB for this one, which makes things a lot easier).ģ) Read decompilation/asm for unnamed subs and try to name them based on what they do.Ĥ) Export all decompiled source into an editor and start copy/paste/editing into readable source.

I was able to open it and get all the original resources and wav files. I happened to have a Windows XP virtual disk drive from a VM from years ago that was saved on my Synology. I am a digital hoarder so I have digital copies of basically everything I've worked on for the last 30 years. NOTE: Place compiled executable into a folder containing original game resources (not included). It builds into bin and creates a Linux executable. Then I cloned the repo under WSL and built. Sudo apt install gcc clang build-essential cmake I just launched WSL (Ubuntu) and installed a few things to compile the code: sudo apt-get install libsdl2-image-dev It's an example of how powerful (and fun) virtualization has become on modern systems! If you don't think this is cool, that's a bummer. So, could I go Windows 95 -> Linux -> Windows 11 -> WSL -> WSLg and run this new native Linux executable again on Windows? Here, they've taken a Windows 95 32-bit app and decompiled it from the original EXE, done some nice cleanup, and now it can be recompiled to other targets like Linux. I recently did a YouTube where I showed that Windows 11 runs Graphical Linux Apps out of the box with WSLg. You'll need those from a Windows XP disk or ISO that you'll need to find yourself.

The pitch you hear is the frequency of oscillation of the balloon material, which for a lung would be the airway tube made of cells. An asthmatic lung airway is similar because it is constricted to a small narrow passageway. Grotberg: Wheezing is very much like the sound from a deflating balloon when you make it squeal by stretching the outlet. What exactly is happening when a sick patient wheezes as they exhale? That is a 180-degree thought reversal from interpreting them as only a “sign” of disease.īreak this down for us a bit more. We’ve seen evidence of this in our experiments. So wheezes and crackles actually “cause” disease. The cells respond with inflammation, which, itself, is a disease. They make the sound, and that mechanical event is also pounding away on the lung tissue. The physical mechanisms that cause wheezing and crackling, while smaller forces than a cough, are similar. Ouch!Īs an extreme example, the loudest sound a lung generates is a severe cough, which can cause, in rare instances, a pneumothorax (ruptured lung), i.e. If you clap hard enough, your hands will hurt. Grotberg: Well, for a sound to be created, a mechanical event must occur, like clapping your hands. You’ve found that sounds could represent more than just the presence of a disease. Pulmonary edema is a common example, often a byproduct of heart failure. Crackles, on the other hand, are only heard by a stethoscope and are a sign of too much fluid in the lung. Patients who wheeze can be so loud you can hear it standing next to them. Grotberg: Typically, wheezing is found in asthma and emphysema. These wheezes and crackles are signs of what diseases? There are normal sounds of air movement, but also there can be abnormal sounds, like wheezes during expiration (breathing out) and crackles during inspiration (breathing in). For the lungs, typically the patient is asked to breathe in and out deeply. Grotberg: Two important organs being monitored are the heart and the lungs. When doctors pull out a stethoscope, what are they listening for? He answered some questions about the research. And they represent a paradigm shift for how doctors understand what they hear through a stethoscope. The findings could eventually change how lung diseases are treated, he says. Exploring this in humans is a research goal. ![]() ![]() His conclusion is based on evidence from experiments on microfluidic chips and on animal models. James Grotberg, professor of biomedical engineering at the College of Engineering and professor of surgery at the Medical School, recently published a study describing how the mechanics that produce those noises with every breath are likely a cause of injury and inflammation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moving further into the stories behind tattoos I was able to speak to Mr. Katherine fell instantly in love with the Dahlia’s and she has the story of her love for her daughter beautifully painted on her skin to always hold the story no matter where she is.

Her love for the Dahlia grew so much that her inspiration started with the room decoration. She explained that during her pregnancy she fell in love with the Dahlias and just had a different connection with them to the point she wanted to associate this flower with her daughter. Katherine has a beautiful two year old daughter named Charlize, which is how the idea of the tattoo came about. This Dahlia stood out the most because of how she expressed herself. ![]() This tattoo belongs to Katherine Santiago whom I was able to speak with on the meaning behind her many tattoos. The true meaning of the Dahlia tattoo goes a bit deeper. This tattoo seen here at first sight is seen as a beautiful Dahlia that someone must have enjoyed.

![]() ![]() If you’d like to start learning or reviewing Algebra I material right now, you can use Varsity Tutors’ free Algebra I Practice Tests to do so. For this reason, it is crucial that students gain a solid understanding of algebraic concepts before proceeding to higher-level math classes. The mathematical concepts that students master in Algebra I form the core of their mathematical understanding in many later classes in math and the sciences. For instance, a focus when learning percents is how to convert a percent to a decimal and vice versa, and when expressing the probability of an event occurring, students also necessarily figure out the probability of the event not occurring. While not directly related to the overarching ideas of equations, functions, and graphs, these concepts may be taught in a way that mirrors the back-and-forth logic used to teach students about functions and their graphs. Other concepts that may be introduced at various points within Algebra I classes are statistics and probability, percent, and percent change. Algebra I focuses on solving quadratic functions using the quadratic formula and FOIL, as well as graphing parabolas and manipulating their appearance through changes made to the source equation. ![]() Once students have mastered linear equations, the class moves on to tackle quadratic equations, the graphs of which form parabolas. After learning to solve and graph simple linear functions and inequalities, students learn how to solve systems of equations or inequalities using substitution and elimination techniques. Inequalities are also taught in Algebra I in the same manner as equations-that is, with an emphasis on representing them on number lines or graphing them. For instance, certain problems in Algebra I may present students with two points on a coordinate plane, then ask them to find the equation of the line that connects the two points, determining the equations of lines that are parallel and perpendicular to that line, respectively. Varsity Tutors offers resources like free Algebra 1 Diagnostic Tests to help with your self-paced study, or you may want to consider an Algebra 1 tutor. A major part of Algebra I is learning to convert information from equations to graphs and from graphs to equations, and understanding how to analyze equations and graphs as related concepts is a core part of the course. Typically, the first thing students learn how to do in Algebra I is solve a single-variable equation-that is, an equation in which there is only one variable, “x.” Students then learn to graph linear functions in the “y = mx + b” format this part of the course introduces the concepts of slope, y-intercept, and x-intercept, and teaches students to graph linear equations. By establishing solid footing in Algebra I, students can prepare themselves for success in later math and science courses, all of which assume knowledge of algebraic concepts. Whether you need top Algebra 1 tutors in Boston, Algebra 1 tutors in Detroit, or top Algebra 1 tutors in Dallas Fort Worth, working with a pro may take your studies to the next level. Students typically take Algebra I around eighth or ninth grade, though some may take the class earlier or later, after they have had a course in Pre-Algebra, but before attempting such topics as Algebra II, Geometry, or more difficult math classes. Algebra I is a course designed to give students a firm understanding of mathematical equations that involve variables, as well as to teach them the basics of graphing and manipulating simple functions. ![]() |
