It was hidden in a folder in Windows 95 called Games, but it didn’t look like any game I wanted to play (which was mostly Quake, at the time). One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.įor years I thought Minesweeper was a horrible trick. I was not prepared to go on such an odyssey to get it.Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. In the end, I found exactly what I was looking for, but good god. Bonus points for not collecting any personal information, either (why would a solitaire app need to do that). Nothing about the experience I was looking for has changed, it runs super smoothly, and I believe it has received at least one update in that time, so the developer hasn’t abandoned it. In the months since going on this voyage, I’ve continued enjoying my time with Solitaire City. I am officially a resident of Solitaire City. There are no increasing levels, no XP to earn, no in-game currencies, and best of all, the ad-free version is a one-time purchase of $4.99. There are leaderboards and achievements, but you can turn all of that off. There are loads of customization options, including the background, card backs, and card fronts. ![]() But this little guy has a lot going for him.įor starters, there are tons and tons of variants on offer here - 20 in all - most of which I’ve never even heard of. The splashscreen shows a copyright date of 2008, and it looks like it hasn’t been updated since then. ![]() I might have overlooked Solitaire City had it not been recommended to me on Cohost. The bar was so low, or so I thought.Īfter searching the word “solitaire” on the iOS app store, and wading through the truly shocking number of games that offer an experience other than Just Playing Solitaire, I curated a small list of what I guess I consider the least offensive options, which I will share including their developer name, since they were pretty much all titled some variation of just “Solitaire.” Microsoft Solitaire Collection Because, to reiterate, it’s just fucking solitaire. But I didn’t want to pay for a subscription. After enjoying a very brief enlightened period in the early 2010s, the mobile game space quickly devolved into the ad-supported, free-to-play cesspool of nightmares we have today, so I understand the importance of paying for the things you want to see in the world. I was of course prepared to pay for the privilege. No ads, no XP bonuses, no maidens to save, no 10,000+ levels, no farming simulators (this is real), and if it has more than just Klondike (like Freecell or Spider for example), that would be a nice bonus. I love Zach Gage games dearly, but I was not looking for a fun new take, just normal, boring, old solitaire. Reader, if it had been as simple to find a normal-ass mobile solitaire game as I naively thought it would be, I might have instead written about how the point when PCs no longer came with simple, free games pre-installed was a sign of a grim turn in our relationship to consumer technology and its increasingly rent-seeking overlords.Īll I wanted was to play solitaire. ![]() And let’s be honest, I wanted to play on the toilet. That way, I wouldn’t have to boot up my Z5 Powerlance, or leave it running in the background, every time I wanted to grab a quick game of something simple in between work emails. ![]() In my reverie, I thought up a seemingly simple task for myself: find a solitaire game for my phone.

![]() A recent report supports the potential of such humanized mouse models engrafted with human dendritic cells as preclinical models of SSc 15. In the pathogenesis of SSc, several types of immune cells-including CD4 + and CD8 + T cells and B cells-are recruited by activated endothelial cells and induce the differentiation of myofibroblasts, which is responsible for fibrosis in SSc 13, 14. By applying these genetically modified immuno-susceptible murine systems, which are amenable to xenografting, we can directly implant human immune cells 12. In this context, humanized animal models using immunodeficient mice engrafted with cells or tissues from diseased patients are novel preclinical models for various pathologic conditions, including autoimmune diseases 11. However, most animal models have a limited ability to recapitulate the phenotypes and pathophysiologic mechanisms of SSc 10. The injection of type V collagen, a potential autoantigen in SSc, may induce SSc-like features 9. Rodents with mutations in genes related to signals causing fibrosis, such as friend leukemia integration 1 (Fli1)-deficient 5 or fos-related antigen 2 (Fra-2) transgenic (Tg) mice 6, 7, as well as naturally occurring tight skin 2 (Tsk2) mice 8, are used as animal models. Injecting exogenous bleomycin 3 or transplanting bone marrow into laboratory mice 4 induces skin fibrosis or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) resembling SSc. Various animal models for SSc have been introduced. Because SSc is rare and its clinical manifestations are heterogeneous, an animal model recapitulating SSc features is needed to investigate the pathophysiologic mechanisms and evaluate the efficacy of potential therapeutics. There is no curative treatment for SSc 1, 2. Although skin involvement is one of the most prominent phenotypes, other organs, such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys, can also be affected, and their involvement is a prognostic factor for SSc 1, 2. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, microvasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis in multiple organs 1. Mice injected with patient-derived PBMCs show promise as an animal model of SSc. SSc hu-mice treated with rebamipide and other potential Th17-cell-modulating drugs presented significantly reduced tissue fibrosis. These cells showed increased expression of CXCR3 and phosphorylated STAT3. ![]() The proportions of circulating and tissue-infiltrating T helper 17 (Th17) cells were elevated in SSc hu-mice. Histological analysis of affected tissues from mice treated with SSc PBMCs (SSc hu-mice) demonstrated substantial inflammation, fibrosis and vasculopathy with human immune cell infiltration and increased expression of IL-17, TGF-β, CCL2, CC元, and CXCL9. Human PBMCs from SSc patients and healthy controls were engrafted into the blood, skin, and lung tissues of NSG mice. In addition, we investigated whether the humanized murine model could be used to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutics for SSc. Blood, skin, and lung tissues were acquired and analyzed after PBMC engraftment. Human PBMCs acquired from SSc patients and healthy controls were transferred into NOD.Cg- Prkdc scid Il2rg tm1Wjl (NSG) mice with concurrent bleomycin injection. Here, we introduce a novel animal model for SSc using immunodeficient mice injected with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from SSc patients. To evaluate the pathophysiologic mechanisms and efficacies of potential therapeutics for SSc, a preclinical model recapitulating the disease phenotypes is needed. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, microangiopathy, and progressive fibrosis in the skin and internal organs. ![]() It does so well but can be slower to render in certain situations, so use it where it will really display itself at its best. This is the first C4D release in a couple of years where I felt like I really needed to play around with the software and discover the implications of the new additions. The Thin Film shader is another new addition, designed to accurately portray things like oily surface or bubbles. This does exactly as you would expect, making it easy to add wear and tear to corners and can be used to control other shaders, so if you want to exaggerate your sub surface scattering or expose and underlying material this can be used to great effect. Maxon put a lot into shaders with this release and there is certainly more worthy of mention, starting with the Inverse Ambient Occlusion shader. Like the camera tracker, this works smoothly and quickly, just so long as you have the right footage. If you ever wanted to track objects before, you had to rely on a piece of third party software but now you can very quickly track an object (best with tracking markers) and replace it with your 3D geometry. This and the other newcomers, like the re-effector, make for an update with some substantial new possibilities.Ĭontrol over various shader elements can be had with the inverse AO shader, like the reflective areas of this imageīack to the VFX tools, the big new addition in R18 is without a doubt the Object Tracker. Hexagonal grid arrays of clones are now possible as are sorted transforms across clones, reducing the need for complexity at the cloner level. Of course, like every element of mograph, it can be used for much more than simply stopping overlap, so experimentation is a gratifying experience.Īt a more fundamental level the basic cloner has some new tricks too. To me, it seems like the software has progressed from really-good, to a critical mass of features that can lead to flat out awesomeness. One bugbear for many was controlling the overlap of clones but this is now no longer an issue, as the new Push Apart effector gives a variety of ways to stop this happening. This is the first C4D release in a couple of years where I felt like I really needed to play around with the software and discover the implications of the new additions. Each upgrade has added tweaks and tools but R18 sees the biggest and most useful and that is without doubt the Voronoi Fracturing. The addition of the mograph module a few years ago was a compelling reason for many to switch to C4D, as the toolset and workflow was simple, powerful but incredibly fun. Stop clones intersecting one another with the hand Push Apart effector Motion graphicsįor quite some time now Cinema 4D has ruled the roost when it comes to motion graphics. ![]() ![]() She puts out salt licks and deer blocks, food for the feral cats, and probably about 20-30 different bird and squirrel feeders. I have a customer who feeds just about everything to the annoyance of her neighbors. it was loud, and scared me, lucky nothing happend to me. it ripped three splits exactly 120 degress aprat from oneanother, splits were about a foot long, and it peeled back. well the next shot, you can guess what happened. well, i didn t realize, a tiny bit of mud, got into the end of the barrel from poking at the possum. i shot a family of possums that i flooded out, and i used the end of the barrel to roll one of the parents over to show my little brother what the gun did to it. what happened was exactly what you see on cartoons, when the barrel bannana peels. Then when i 'd irrigate, theyd come out of there holes and i'd shoot them, until one day i blew the shotgun up. I'd shoot as i drove the tractor, but it only took a day for them to figure out the tractor kills. my squirrels were never afraid of the tractor, so i drilled a hole int the hood for a eye bolt for the barrel of a cheap single shot 12 ga, and a rubber snubber across the hood to hold down the stock. the things catch on real quick about guns. Shooting them pretty much only gives you satisfaction. now would be a good time to do it being they are pregnant ofr have babaies. After you roll them down the hole, you cover up the tops of the holes, and the pellet gives off poisenous gas. you roll them down the hole after you irrigate or when the ground is wet, being they activate from moisture. Its a big pellet about the size of a brussel sprout. you'll have to buy it from a farmer who has a permit to get it. Its been years since i farmed, but when i did, the most effective thing i found was something called phostoxin. ![]() Menken felt the song "has a beautiful arc to it", but said "the sound is orchestral and pianistic". ![]() Menken said that the song "starts with a solo piano, very intimate, and really gets into the soul of Jasmine", before becoming more instrumental, and ultimately " at the end comes back full circle to that intimate piano with her voice reaching out over it". Scott said that the song is "a punch in the face" and that "t's just showcasing that gets to a point where, 'It's not going to be easy and I may lose this fight, but I need to step up'", and felt that many girls will feel connected to the song's lyrics. ![]() Pasek and Paul wrote the lyrics for a solo for the character of Jasmine, titled "Speechless", which Paul called "a beautiful piece of music", praising Scott's singing as "incredible". Smith said that " knew how he wanted it to sound and how he wanted it to feel but gave the freedom to use hip hop background and bring a fresh vibe to ". Pasek, Paul, and Menken also rewrote the song " Prince Ali", in order to fit the Genie's actor Will Smith's personality. Menken said that "he job really was to be following along with the camera as it soars through Agrabah, setting up this world for the audience", to which " rewrote some of the lyrics to go with the visuals that Guy had in mind, introducing Jafar and basically setting the stage for the rest of the film", and said that "t's a much bigger, much more ambitious number than it was ". Menken, Pasek and Paul also wrote new lyrics for the original film's song " Arabian Nights", which was reworked as a musical number that introduces the film's story and characters to the audience. Menken said that his score "is obviously pulled from the themes of the songs, almost exclusively, but it is much more live action in its textures and its tone" than the original film's. Menken will also compose the film's score, which will also include new versions of the original film's songs written by him, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. Background and composition Alan Menken, who composed the score and co-wrote songs for the original film, returned to compose the remake's score and to co-write two new songs, as well as to re-write songs from the original film.Īt the 2017 D23 Expo, Alan Menken, who composed the score and co-wrote songs for the animated film Aladdin, was revealed to be co-writing new songs for its 2019 live-action remake with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the songwriters of La La Land. The soundtrack was released on May 17, 2019. The soundtrack features a cover of " A Whole New World" by Zayn Malik and Zhavia Ward, songs from the original film, a new song written by the original film's composer, Alan Menken, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a score composed by Menken.

But I have lost 3 pounds since I got back from NYC. Its hard for me to tell if I’ve lost weight because I’m pre-period bloatey and I had put on a few pounds from my AZ and NYC trips. I’m going to keep trying to stick with it as long as I can, with the occasional little cheat mixed in. I also had Kale chips for dinner because I wanted some veggies. For the most part I have still stuck to it, eaten lots of eggs and chicken…and bluefish for dinner. One last night before bed (I was feeling almost lightheaded and needed something else!) and I had the other with a yogurt snack today. I have also had 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate dreams pb.
