![]() ![]() Focusing on 5 key areas of friendship, fun, health, hygiene and rest players will need to balance their social life with daily tasks of sleeping and showering. No life simulation would be complete without a management component to it though and City Girl Life offers a trimmed down version in this regard. As a social based game City Girl Life also allows for players to show off their fashion style to their friends in daily fashion stand offs. Not only does your choice of career tie in closely with the games structured story but it will also be your primary source of funds for decorating your apartment (or upgrading entirely to a penthouse) and wearing all the latest fashions to impress those around you. Jobs include musician, artist, detective, fashion designer, chef, engineer and author. ![]() In total there are 7 different careers that can be explored and changed as players see fit if they feel like a career change. Success and fashion does not come easy or cheaply in City Girl Life though which is where your career driven friend Olivia comes into the scene to assist you in your dream career. ![]() Further customisation is also available to walls and flooring in addition to miscellaneous plants and appliances City Girl Life is also surprisingly deep in this regard with nearly 100 items across living, kitchen, dining, bed, bath, office, pet and patio. With your look established City Girl Life quickly jumps to customising your apartment with a new couch which gives the game a Sims like vibe as you pick and choose other pieces of furniture to decorate your space. Starting options are fairly limited with players starting with around a dozen clothing items and a handful of hairstyles but expand rapidly with further gameplay particularly in the accessories category. With Jenna not having seen players for some time it is also the perfect opportunity to reinvent your look with City Girl Life allowing for avatar customisation within the first few minutes of gameplay. Jenna is one such friend and quick to meet players as they arrive in their new basic apartment. You aren’t alone on your move though as several of your friends from college have also joined you for their own dreams and to help you settle into the new surroundings. To start players are given a brief storyline involving players leaving their small town life and move into the big city (New York) to chase their dreams and a future of fame and fashion. To start your City Girl Life adventure players will need the Facebook Gameroom, while the title was previously available within your browser it is now exclusive to the Facebook Gameroom. For fans of these other titles or games that blend social and fashion together in general you’ll feel right at home with the general game design of City Girl Life. The game is similar to other games in the life simulation genre and feels like a spiritual successor to Playdom’s other hit social games like Sorority Life and Social City. With a community in the millions City Girl Life constantly receives updates, events and general community engagement which has seen the game continually grow since it started back in 2012. The Facebook page is also an active hub for the community alongside the official forums. ![]() With Gameroom retired in 30 June 2021 players now need to reactivate Flash to play directly through Facebook (instructions on City Girl Life Facebook page). It is developed by Playdom and was original playable through Facebook and eventually Facebook Gameroom. City Girl Life is a social and fashion focused experience designed to blend fashion, fame, fortune, friends and New York City. ![]()

If everything proceeds smoothly divorce could take as little as 4-6 months, but in most cases it can take 6-12 months for the parties to reach a financial settlement. ![]() The only reason you would want to attend this hearing would be to make representations about costs if they were not agreed. Neither party is required to attend Court on this date as it is standard practice that the Decree Nisi is pronounced in the absence of the parties, which is why Mr and Mrs Atkinson were not in attendance. A Judge such as District Judge Alderson in the Atkinson’s case, will pronounce the Decree Nisi’s in open Court – which is where the media lay in waiting for a juicy celebrity story. When the Court lists the matter for a Decree Nisi pronouncement hearing as referred to above, it will also list around 20-30 cases at the same time. The suggestion that the Atkinson’s were divorced in 65 seconds is incorrect – what the media are actually referring to is the length of time it takes a Judge to pronounce the Decree Nisi. So why are the media talking about a ‘quickie divorce’? There is no way of circumventing this process whether you’re Cheryl Fernandez Versini or Joe Bloggs! The Petitioner can apply for the Decree Absolute six weeks and one day from the date of Decree Nisi, but it is common to delay making the application until a financial settlement has been reached. This is not the final decree and the marriage is not dissolved until the Decree Absolute is granted. If one party doesn’t agree to the divorce, you can still apply for a Decree Nisi but the Court will list the matter for a hearing where a Judge will decide whether to grant you a Decree Nisi. If the Court is satisfied that the Petitioner has sufficiently proven the contents of their petition and the Respondent does not wish to defend the proceedings, they will certify the Petitioner’s entitlement to a divorce and the matter will be listed for a Decree Nisi pronouncement hearing. ![]() Once received, the Court will send a copy of the Respondent’s acknowledgement to the Petitioner, who is then able to file an application for Decree Nisi with the Court. The Court will then send a copy of the petition to the other party, known as the ‘Respondent’, accompanied by an Acknowledgement of Service form which they are required to complete and return to the Court. One party known as the ‘Petitioner’ issues a Divorce Petition with the Court. There is only one ground for divorce and it’s not unreasonable behaviour as reported above, it is the “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage”, which is demonstrated by one of 5 facts: Whilst no two divorces are identical and some are quicker than others, broadly speaking the process is the same and there are no celebrity shortcuts! Unfortunately the media are perpetuating a family law myth there is no such thing as a quickie divorce. So what is a quickie divorce and is it reserved for the rich and famous? There have been a string of quickie celebrity divorces reported in recent years, Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Beatles star Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills and X-Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and England defender Ashley Cole. Last week it was widely reported in the media that the Blackadder star, Rowan Atkinson, worth an estimated £70 million, was granted a “quickie” divorce in 65 seconds from wife Sunetra after 24 years of marriage at London’s Central Family Court on grounds of his unreasonable behaviour. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our world as we knew it has changed and those changes require that we in turn adjust to a new normal.”~ Unknownħ1. “The loss of a loved one turns our life upside down.

The amiga section was decleared dead in 1994, but the group continues to exist and innovate on several console platforms. They released a fair few games and board tools (their boardtool section was subtitled Gods'Gift) in their time on the amiga, but the group as such made a much larger impact as crackers and code innovators on console platforms like snes, gbc/gba and n64. However, please be assured that our objective is to give the game back to the Amiga community, for free, as soon as possible.Anthrox were an English-based demo and cracking group, born in 1989 (though they were announced as a new group as late as in Zine 5 in early june of 1990) by englishmen Hydro and Count Zero.

The dust feature sometimes works well, but effective scratch removal really requires a hardware-based solution. Many scanner drivers also have dust- and scratch-removal capabilities. Typically, a scanner utility's basic mode will select the scan settings for you, while the advanced mode will let you customize the settings. Most scanners offer basic and advanced modes, accessible through their driver or scanning software. This helps with alignment and spacing during the scan and reduces the need to handle the transparencies directly off the platen. Such models come with plastic frames or holders that fit multiple slides or negatives and secure them in place on the platen during scanning. Starting in the $200 range are scanners that can handle slides and/or film negatives. Many do a very good job of this, generally for less than $100. As a rule, low-cost photo models are limited to scanning photo prints. Photo scanners are available in a wide range of prices and capabilities. A notable exception is the class of autofeed snapshot photo scanners, here headed by the Epson FastFoto line, the latest of which is the FastFoto FF-680W. The FastFoto models are built specifically for scanning shoeboxes full of photo prints and are engineered to treat the prints gently. This works in a pinch, but it risks damaging your originals, even if they're enclosed in a protective sleeve. We strongly urge you to avoid making a habit of scanning photos (or any delicate originals, for that matter) through "any old" sheetfed document scanner, whether it's a standalone model or one built into a multifunction or all-in-one printer (more on that in a moment). Whether you're scanning slides, 35mm negatives, or oversize artwork and photos, its terrific results make the Epson a prize addition to a professional design or photography studio. Thanks to LaserSoft Imaging's SilverFast Ai IT8 software, the 12000XL-PH provides deep, versatile controls for setting up and enhancing the quality of your scans. The latter combines MatrixCCD scan technology with a zero-warmup-time LED light source. Too big for a desktop, it's designed to take bench space next to your wide-format professional photo printer, where it pairs 2,400-by-4,800dpi resolution with Epson's ColorTrue II imaging system. But professional photographers will appreciate this wide-format, high-resolution device's double-size scanning area (it handles pages up to 12.2 by 17.2 inches) and bundled transparency unit for scanning slides, transparencies, and negatives.

Moreover, my outlining needs are task-based and rarely require different templates or styles from one project to another. Too often I find myself fiddling with how various levels look instead of getting tasks out of my head. I have often used OmniOutliner for this sort of outlining/task planning process when working on a big project, but OmniOutliner’s styles system has always been a little confusing to me. I can brainstorm ideas, move them around, and because everything is plain text, I can easily move items to other apps later if I want. At the early stages when I’m still unsure of what I need to do and in what sequence, TaskPaper is perfect. TaskPaper is essentially a task outliner, which is one reason I enjoy it so much for planning a task-heavy project. If what I just described sounds a lot like an outliner app, it’s because it is. You can also focus on one project at a time by selecting it in the left sidebar or Option-clicking a project’s handle. The dot, which is a pale red outline when expanded, becomes a brighter filled-in dot when items are collapsed, giving you a visual cue that there are items hidden from view without being distracting. Collapsing tasks under a project or a parent task is easy too – click on the same red dot that you use to reorder items. To reorder items, drag them by the little red dot at the beginning of an item. The ‘ tag can also be added by clicking on the dash at the beginning of a task. Tags are added by using an followed by a keyword, like ‘ ‘ is a special tag for finished tasks that display as strikethrough text.

Just press the Tab key anywhere within an item and it shifts to the right. You don’t have to be at the beginning of the line of text to make it a subtask, which I love. To make a task a subtask of another task, press the Tab key. Planning my part of MacStories Weekly #25.Ĭreating a task is as simple as typing a dash and a space.

I currently use 2Do, which is powerful, flexible, and cross-platform, but I still find myself jotting down task lists in a Field Notes notebook frequently. I have used several task managers over the years. Using a simple syntax reminiscent of Markdown and an abundance of keyboard shortcuts, Taskpaper’s straightforward interface conceals considerable power under the hood.

The iBox Nano uses UV-rated LED lights instead of standard DLP projector lighting with incandescent bulbs that burn out. But if you fancy pushing the frontiers a bit and you want small, higher quality, prints then iBox is worth a look.The new machine, just launched on Kickstarter, is a personal 3D printer using UV-curable resin like many others, but this machine has a number of significant differences from the others. Take a look at the nFire device on Kickstarter too. There are some quite nice devices out there in kit form. If you are after a good, cheap 3D printer I think I'd still advise you to go for a conventional, filament powered, one like Una. I can now think about producing tiny components. I feel like a heart surgeon who is not very good at it and has switched to brain surgery in the hope that might be easier. I'm impressed with the iBox machine though. It's totally different technology from printing with Una providing a new set of problems to deal with. I've got some disposable gloves on order but I spent big chunks of the evening fretting about the resin escaping and simultaneously burning a path to the centre of the earth (it's supposed to be corrosive) and poisoning me. Everywhere you see dire warnings about the danger of the liquid touching your skin. I'm not sure if I'm going to be OK with this liquid resin stuff. However, I'm pleased to have made something. This was a disaster I'm afraid, with another lump of goo forming in the wrong place. So I thought I'd go for broke and tried to print a tiny bunny. The output is pleasingly solid, although they say you should leave it in the sun or under a UV light to completely cure the resin. This time it worked fine, and I got a tiny iBox logo stuck to the build plate. Only on my first print the solid bit stuck to the bottom of the vat instead, hence the mis-shapen lump that was produced. So I re-adjusted the build plate and tried again. Then the printer pulls the build plate upwards, taking this layer of solid resin with it. The UV light makes some of the liquid resin in this gap turn solid. The idea is that the build plate is a tiny distance from a sheet of teflon tape stuck on the bottom of the vat. With my iBox printer, which doesn't have a name yet by the way, the crucial thing is the distance of the build plate from the bottom of the glass dish, or vat, which holds the liquid resin. When Una squirts molten filament at the build plate it is crucial that the very first layer is just the right height for the filament to stick to the plate and provide the starting point for the print. It turns out that, just as with Una, the key to successful printing is the print height. I've got quite good at consistent printing with Una my Ultimaker, but I remember how much fiddling it took to get to where I am now. ![]() All I got was a little lump of goo on the bottom of the vat. Oh well. So I carefully filled the vat with resin, rubbed the build plate with some sandpaper to make it nice and rough so that the print would adhere to it, lowered the plate into the resin and set it off. There are a few buttons on the machine and some lights to tell you what it is doing. You set up prints on your PC via a web interface that works really well. The iBox is powered by a Raspberry Pi and uses a WiFi adapter to connect to your network. As long as something turns up at the end. I'm still looking at you Agent watch. Lots of people get very upset when these projects have delays, but I'm happy to give them time to get it right. The device was a bit late arriving, but I don't mind too much about that.

I've only had one Kickstarter project come seriously unstuck - I'm looking at you Agent watch. I've had pretty good success with Kickstarter. ![]() Thanks to a combination of poor time management on my part and digging up an absolutely crucial road at rush our on the part of Hull Council I wasn't able to get to the MeetUp at C4DI tonight.
