![]() ![]() RonyaSoft's CD DVD Label Maker is a nice, easy to use but simpler vector graphics app, with extra features to make printing to disc labels easier. I'm interested to see what this software brings to the table, but not sure that it will do anything special that would get me to change the way I have been doing this for years. You can also easily find such templates on the web, I've even found custom fold-able disc envelopes for Libre Office. ![]() It is easily enough to create a basic template of the proper dimensions for such programs and then use it to quickly put together very custom inserts. I've been doing inserts in other graphics programs such as Corel Draw, Photoshop, Libre Office, and even Gimp. So the ability to print directly to a disc, as nice as it would be, is worthless to me. Having seem too many Espon printers become worthless from a simple clogged ink jet, I simply will never buy such a printer again. Epson printers have captive print heads (may other printers let you easily replace the ink jets on the print head, often with each new ink cartridge). It is nice that it does support direct printing to discs, but the only consumer printers mow sold in the U.S. It is a shame that the program doesn't support light scribe. Haven't used a stick on label for years because of this. I imagine that there may be differences in this problem depending on the surfaces that the manufacturer provides, but it is a know problem that has caused a drop in popularity of stick on labels. I learned long ago that adhesive labels can actually affect the data layer of a disc over time. I grabbed my copy, it activated fine under XP. Thank you GOTD and RonyaSoft for today's offering. It seems I'm going to have to give myself reason to use it. My only complaint is that I have litte use for it at the moment. I have another labeler or two already, and this stands out to me as superior. There are multiple templates for discs and all the standard size cases (CD/DVD/Blu-ray even paper sleeves), plus a template generator to make your own custom sizes (not sure why you'd need this, but the option is there). That is my prefered method anyway, to do all the 'dirty work' in an image editor and import the results. Other then that, this is a great labeling program and by pairing this with full fledged image editor, there would be little one could not achieve. I have about 3000 fonts on my computer, and after a brief look thru, I couldn't find any that were not useable. An earlier post (I'm too lazy to check which) mentioned the lack of fonts included with this app, but it uses your installed fonts. ![]() ![]()

![]() This last category of solutions for preventing or ameliorating sleep deprivation effects is the topic of the research reported in this chapter. (3) Pharmacological solutions may be warranted in special circumstances, when adherence to doctrinal and behavioral solutions is not possible or breaks down. ![]() (2) Behavioral solutions make sure that soldiers sleep as much as they can, whenever they can (sleep discipline), while paying attention to where and how they sleep (sleep hygiene), that is, in as comfortable a position as possible, away from the noise and bustle of other soldiers and equipment. Three categories of solutions include the following: (1) Doctrinal solutions involve the overtraining of soldiers to perform their tasks with a minimum of cognitive effort ensuring that soldiers are cross-trained so that crew members can substitute for each other when necessary developing and adhering to appropriate work-rest cycles, including rotating crews as the mission permits developing efficient leadership tactics so that unnecessary demands are not placed on subordinates and modifying equipment and systems so that the likelihood of making errors is as small as possible. Sustaining optimum soldier performance relates to the prevention or amelioration of these changes. Alertness decreases, and there are changes in self-reported fatigue (increases) and vigor (decreases). There is a decline in the performance of accuracy tasks involving attention, reasoning abilities, and reaction time. ![]() ![]() Several studies have documented performance and mood changes during periods of sleep deprivation (Babkoff et al., 1989a,b Mikulincer et al., 1989 Thorne et al., 1983). The observable effects of this sleep disruption include decreased alertness, slowed thinking, lapses in attention, decreased motivation, and a performance phenomenon called the speed-accuracy-tradeoff. The demands and pace of continuous military operations produce sleep fragmentation and varying degrees of sleep deprivation in soldiers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ultra fast non-destructive editing engine Timer and input level triggered recording Supported driver models for audio recording and playback (Mac) Supported driver models for audio recording and playback (Windows)ĪSIO, Windows Audio (exclusive and non-exclusive), DirectSound Voice-over artists will enjoy the DeClick:Dialogue and DePlosive:Dialogue tools that help reducing pesky mouth clicks, lip smacks and plosives.

If anyone has found a better tool by now, please share! ![]() I’ve found that if I compare the relevant subfolders again afterward it finds more duplicates, but that’s quite labor-intensive, and the duplicates may not be located in a similar folder structure anyway. That sucks because it’s pretty poor at finding all duplicates, especially when comparing large folders. The bad news is that I’ve still not found a better general-purpose deduplication tool than Gemini. Sorry for reviving an old thread, but since I’ve been looking for a better alternative to Gemini II lately and have partially succeeded I figured I’d finally join the forum (I’ve been lurking for a while) to share my findings… heic files (I may be wrong, but this newer file format might not be in its coded ability to “see”).

![]() ![]() Hens are always clucking as they peck and chat up other hens. Hens continuously cluck as they move chicks around. While they do make occasional loud crows and clucks about after mating, it’s really hens that make the more frequent and louder sounds.Īn alarmed and startled hen will cause a ruckus making squawking and clucking sounds. We’ve all come to believe that roosters are the loudest and noisiest of chickens. Each sound sends a message and tells of their physical state. The vocal talents of chickens allow them to make other sounds such as trill, growl, purr, burble, squawks, crowing, cooing, and cawing.ĭepending on the breed and location of the chicken, the tone and pitch of these sounds often sound different. Thus, roosters will cluck after a successful mateĬlucking and “cock-a-doodle-doo” are famous chicken calls but they are not the only sounds chickens make. Finding a hen to mate with, and successfully mating, is an achievement. Knowing her voice will enable chicks to pick her out of a group of chickensĪ rooster has to put in effort in order for a hen to pick him and decide to mate with him. She does this to get her babies used to her voice. While sitting on her eggs, a mother hen may cluck and purr softly. If your chickens suddenly start to cluck wildly, taking the bird to its friends will usually get it to calm down They make a whimpering cluck sound when they’re not feeling well.īrooding describes a situation when a female hen sits on her eggs and waits for them to hatch, she will cluck to communicate that you should leave her alone, these clucks are slow and drawn-out.Ĭhickens are social animals, they like to be close to each other, they will cluck and will make a fuss if they cannot find their friends. If a chicken is sick their clucks will not be as loud as they would be if they were healthy.

Mother birds guide baby chicks in a variety of ways. This sound is repetitive and can be heard 1 to 10 minutes after egg-laying There’s the loud clucking noise that chickens make to signal that eggs have been laid, birds cluck after laying eggs to ward off predators. What we now know is that varying clucking sounds and their frequency all tell different stories: Scientists have studied these animals and have figured out what their clucking means.
![]() ![]() ![]() Henry was the greatest fear that I had going into the drafting process, which is funny because he’s my favorite part of the book now. How did you go about striking that balance? If you don’t self examine and don’t understand your strengths and weaknesses, it’s hard to get to the root of that in other people.Īs Addie starts to realize she’s less human, we see just how wonderfully and painfully human Henry is. Creative vulnerability is uncomfortable, but it’s something I believe is absolutely intrinsic to the creative process. What it came down to was this is a book about vulnerability. Everyone in the book is an artist in some way and I tried to provide artists in all of their manifestations: Sam lives and breathes it and is extraordinarily confident, Beatrice is an art historian trying to find herself, Robbie is a performance artist, Henry is a lost artist. My undergraduate degree is in art and my graduate degree is in art history, and I tried to fold in all of those pieces. How did that influence the way you wrote about art and artists in this book? You’re really passionate about deromanticizing the creative process and being open about the challenges of being a writer. There’s a massive hole in my life that had been filled for 10 years with Addie. Before I wrote it I was gripped by fear, while I was writing I was gripped by fear, and after I wrote it I was gripped by grief. All of my insecurities and fears and hopes became so intrinsically connected to the themes within the book. I’m grateful that the book exists, but it was by no means a pleasant process. I was frightened of that chasm because the idea in my head was so important to me. There’s a chasm between the idea in your head and what ends up on paper. I don’t think I could’ve written this book at any other age and I’m very glad I didn’t try. Everyone in the book is lost and feels at odds in the framework of their world. I had it for Addie as the generator of her deal, but I needed it for everyone. I had this ennui, I had the history, I had the passion and what I didn’t have was the fear of time as a throughline and central theme in the narrative. That was the thing that I had been missing. That’s when I hit the threshold that Henry is dealing with in the novel-the panic that comes with adulthood and feeling as though you’re a mile behind everyone else. The piece I was waiting for would come when I was almost 30. I knew this story was only going to get one manifestation, and I sat with it until I was the right version of myself. Sometimes a story comes along that you realize you’re only going to get to tell once. As authors, we write the same story over and over again in many ways. I opened the first document for Addie in 2011 and every couple of years I’d check back in with new notes. Is there anything that changed really dramatically when you finally sat down to write it? This story has been with you for a long time. It’s probably my favorite cover I’ve ever had. I’ve been fighting for years to have a typography centric cover. It wasn’t the simplest journey to come to the cover but that said, it’s a stunner. I think I emphasized how badly I wanted the constellation to be a part of the cover because I knew I was going to get the constellation tattoo and I wanted to have an official constellation. Confession: I have a lot of tattoos and none of them are markers of any of my books, but I desperately wanted to get an Addie tattoo because of how long this story has been a part of my life. Addie has so many elements to her story, which do you choose to emphasize? For me, the seven stars were important. ![]() It was a long time of looking at covers that looked very much like they would sell but didn’t feel like my book, or felt like my book but didn’t necessarily feel like the right market. I wanted Addie ’s cover to be a propulsive force rather than a hurdle. I know the power of a cover A Darker Shade of Magic was one of those books that every time I did a signing somebody brought up the fact that they’d never heard of the book, they’d stumbled across it in a bookstore and the cover drew them in. ![]() Everyone on the team felt very aware of that and it became a process of figuring out which direction the cover could go in. This was a book that was going to branch out from my fantasy base to inch roots into literary and general fiction. The book was always called The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, but the cover took a long time to find the right iteration of.
