That same night, we listened to the song about 50 times and, afterwards, Dallas asked if I wanted to be signed as an artist.” Producing the entire project as well as playing most of the instruments and co-writing the songs, Dallas’ obvious excitement was mixed into the grooves. “It was clear from the beginning that was a special song. “I’m feelin’ that pressure, now now / I’m feelin’ that same round and round / I can’t go forward,” Joi droned in a ghetto Goth style. One of the songs Dallas and Joi worked on that night was “Sunshine and the Rain.” The ambient angst of the music blended perfectly with Joi’s hot ice voice. He was itching to do something different. A few years later, he was a proven hit maker with the post new-jack swing sound heard on ABC’s “Iesha” and Boyz II Men “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.” Austin was a lifelong Prince fan, though, who was also into the electro moan of Depeche Mode’s Violator and the Brit-beat of Massive Attack’s Blue Lines. What she heard sounded nothing like the young producer had done before.ĭiscovered by Klymaxx member Joyce “Fenderella” Irby, Austin started his career at 14. The young producer played her tracks he’d been working on. When Dallas got wind that she was in town, he invited her to his studio. A few months later, Joi moved to Atlanta, where the fledging hip-hop/R&B scene, mostly centered around LaFace and So So Def was about to explode. Joi was hanging out at local studios, just messing around with music.ĭallas, who was in town working on his own ill-fated R&B/funk group Highland Place Mobsters, was impressed by Joi’s demo, but soon returned to Atlanta to finish working on the then-upcoming TLC album Ooooooohhh. My mom and grandmom taught me to be fashionably competent.” Back in the ’90s, Joi’s style varied from thrift-store chic to boho b-girl to leather pants-wielding rocker chick. “So, even when I’m ratchet, I try to be elegant. “I come from a family of sharp ladies,” Joi says. At the time, she had short dyed blonde hair. Austin was introduced to Joi by a studio engineer in her hometown.

Some of these PDF's contain executable code (hotlinking and sound embedding). I will however recommend Harnum's 'Basic Music Theory' as a starting point for anyone who is already aquainted with an instrument. There are some great listening excersises for both singers and guitarists and even thought I havent been labelling the books by difficulty, it sohuld be the simplest task to read them progreessively judging merely by the titles. However the complete basics are covered as well: both dummies' and complete idiots' guides are included. I have skimmed quite a few of them, and there are great lessons to be had even for advanced academics read Schoenberg's Fundamentals only if you are in a daring mood. I haven't read even a percentage of it yet, so don't blame me if some of it's crap. I swept the usenets uncriticvally for every ebook I could find relating to the subject, weeded out the dupes and fakes, and wrapped it up. I got the Idea for this torrent when I stumbled upon Jonathan Harnum's 'Basic Music Theory, How to Read, Write and Understand Music' while browsing my favortie newsgroup (a.b.sheet.music). RAM-only servers - All data is wiped when the servers are rebooted for better privacy.And in my tests, CyberGhost’s streaming servers worked as expected, consistently accessing both popular and less-popular streaming sites.ĬyberGhost also has industry-standard security features like 256-bit AES encryption, a kill switch, and a no-logs policy that has been independently audited. It has a very intuitive interface, 9,400+ servers in 90+ countries, and in my tests, it had an average decrease in speed of only 30%, which is better than most competitors.ĬyberGhost is excellent for streaming - it has 100+ dedicated streaming servers across 20+ different countries that are optimized for 50+ streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, and many more. The P2P servers offer the fastest speeds if you need a good VPN for torrenting.CyberGhost VPN is one of the best VPNs on the market. In addition to all of these features, NordVPN also offers dedicated P2P servers. VPN with dedicated IP is an add-on feature for $70 per year.Excellent leak protection features (two-level VPN kill switch).Netflix works well (discussed more below).This is a useful feature if you need a good VPN for China, or anywhere else that VPNs are blocked. Obfuscated servers – These servers will conceal your VPN traffic as regular HTTPS encryption.Tor-over-VPN servers that encrypt traffic with the Tor network, in addition to the VPN.Double-hop VPN servers (31 to choose from, and the speeds are excellent).More details in the Security section of this article. It also blocks trackers and malware domains, plus can scan downloaded documents. Threat Protection – This is an ad-blocking feature that works on HTTP and HTTPS websites.Here are a few of the features that I really liked with NordVPN: NordVPN offers many specialized servers such as the Double VPN ones shown here. Here’s the NordVPN Windows client with double-VPN servers: NordVPN features – NordVPN offers some great features, and unlike with CyberGhost, all the features work correctly. This is similar to what we found in the ExpressVPN vs IPVanish comparison. It has a few nice extras, but it does not really stand out from the crowd. Overall, CyberGhost is about average when it comes to features. Static IP addresses – Like NordVPN and TorGuard, CyberGhost also offers static IP addresses for an added cost. You can see these different profiles in the CyberGhost app below on the left. There are better VPN ad blockers to choose from, as we noted in the NordVPN vs Surfshark comparison.ĬyberGhost also offers different “profiles” that are tailored to different use cases for the VPN, such as torrenting, browsing, etc. But the ad blocker does not even work on HTTPS sites and most sites are now HTTPS, the ad blocker is essentially useless. Note: You can get even cheaper prices on NordVPN if you use this coupon for 63% off >ĬyberGhost and NordVPN both offer interesting features, but with NordVPN, the features consistently work well.ĬyberGhost features – One of CyberGhost’s main features is the ad blocker. Assuming you follow my advice and go with the longest (cheapest) plans, CyberGhost has better prices and a better refund policy. When you do this, the app takes up lots of space on your computer.ĬyberGhost previously offered a 7-day free trial VPN, but this has been discontinued.ĬyberGhost refund policy – According to the latest information I found on their FAQ page, users will get a 14-day refund window on one-month subscriptions, but a 45-day refund window for subscriptions 6 months or greater. Unfortunately, you need to switch to the full version to get access to the features. With the CyberGhost desktop apps, you can use either the full version, or the minimized version. Here are the seven categories we will cover in this NordVPN vs CyberGhost comparison guide:īefore we get into the test results, let’s take a quick look at the VPN apps from CyberGhost and NordVPN.įirst up is CyberGhost. This table reveals the key facts about each VPN before we dive into the details: NordVPN is faster, has more security features, offers better support for streaming and torrenting, and is more reliable than CyberGhost. NordVPN outperformed CyberGhost in almost every test category. While both VPNs are popular and have lots of recommendations, the results revealed a clear winner - and also one to avoid. In this latest NordVPN vs CyberGhost comparison guide, we’ve taken a good look at both VPN services, with particular attention to any recent updates of changes. * Follows the mouse movement and eats mushrooms on mouse clicks. * Constructs a Pig object and initializes it as having ** Keeps track of how many mushrooms this pig has eaten.

The pig will have to call the barrel’s getMushroom() method to find out how many mushrooms the barrel currently stores. “the pig eats all the mushrooms currently in the barrel” So for my class I have to use the Greenfoot IDE. Precision jumping is a struggle, as missing a jump usually leads to some annoying backtracking to take your chances again. While you can take in the world around you, jumping around and overcoming environmental puzzles drag it down. Then the whole experience struggles once you actually have to play it as a game. Even though I felt lost initially, it was a delight to roam around in. I really enjoyed soaking in all the views, especially the opening area. This is all accompanied by music fitting to this spiritual journey in the frozen North. While the Switch’s resolution and power aren’t equal to the other platforms this was released on, it still manages to capture the beauty in the environments. It’s not all snow and wide-open spaces, but it always feels peaceful. The further along you go, the more different areas you’ll find. Spirit of the North is all about the atmosphere and there is a lot of beautiful nature to absorb along the way. Your journey is scenic, especially the vast snowy region you start in. It can get slightly frustrating when it’s unclear where you need to go next when you encounter the light puzzle areas. This approach adds to the serene exploration of the areas you’re traversing. When relevant a button prompt will show up when you need to grab a stick, bark, or use spirit power on a mystic rune. The game doesn’t give anything away, there is no dialogue or text. You follow a fox spirit across the land, getting ever closer to the source of the ominous smoke. Your Adventure is that of a red fox walking across a snow-covered landscape, following a plume of mysterious red smoke. Rug up because it’s time to head North and have a spiritual journey. Spirit of the North is a game that flirts with both sides of the line, a narrative game with light puzzle and platforming. I didn’t know where to go, everything looked the same, and there was zero direction of where to go and what to do.Narrative games have to walk a fine line does the player just roam and experience the story, or do you have to include more traditional game elements like combat or platforming. Where as the linear nature of the the previous chapter made it fairly easy to figure out where to go and what to do next this point in the game was extremely frustrating. There is a specific chapter that opens up significantly from the previous ones and it is far to easy to get lost. Spirit moves a a brisk pace, but I found myself wanting to explore each new environment just to take it all in and appreciate the new land I’m in. The fox is always fun to control and this enhanced edition attempts to take advantage of the PS5’s new haptic vibrations but they are subtle and I found myself longing for unique haptics for the different types of terrain you encounter. Most chapters of the game are linear with plenty of off the beaten paths to search for fallen monks and their staffs, this games version of collectibles.Īs you explore the gorgeous environments (more on that in a minute) you’ll uncover the mystery of the “guardian” and unlock new spirit/light-based abilities to help you solve light environmental puzzles, such as lighting up stone glyphs in the correct order or releasing rock spheres to open gates. The game does little to tell you where to go, but for the most part is fairly straight forward. Speaking of SotN’s music, from the moment you start your journey in the snow covered mountains of Iceland the music sets the tone of the game and you’re off. Spirit of the North’s story is a subtle one, forgoing the conventional means of storytelling, and choosing to convey its message through stone carvings, light and its beautiful musical score. Spirit of the North follows a seemingly ordinary red fox who throughout their journey increasingly intertwined with the guardian of the Northern Lights. Exclusive to this version of the game are three new skins unlocked right from the get go. First releasing on PC on and PS4 on November 1, 2019, this enhanced edition of Infuse Studio’s Spirit of the North is arriving as the first physical indy game collectors edition for the PlayStation 5. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined gameplay and aesthetics elements from Flower, Journey, Okami, various Legend of Zelda titles and a hint of Death Stranding? Me either, but I’m glad to have experienced such a title. “It was important to have one playoff in the East, a second in the Midwest, and then the final on the West Coast making each round easily accessible to each region. “The design from the get-go was to make sure that each part of the country was represented so fans would have an opportunity to experience SuperMotocross firsthand,” Dave Prater, vice president of Supercross, Feld Motor Sports, said in a release.

In this case it is a good idea, before starting the thread, to disable the buttons of the form to avoid the user starting more than one thread for the job.Īnother use of multi-threading may be a server application that is able to respond to many clients at the same time. If the big job runs in a second thread, the application keeps responding (almost) as if it were idle. and while processing, the screen stops responding, and gives the user the impression that the application is frozen, a poor or misleading impression will be created.

This is expected for Quiplash 3, since the first two Quiplash games were also highlights of their respective packages. Luckily, the other four work really well. Multitasking with people when you?re together in a room is one thing, but trying to do it online with people who have so-so connection speeds is quite another, and the game - which, best as I could tell, involved working with everyone else to check items off lists - isn?t clear enough to make it work. Where I would?ve judged a game to be the weakest in previous Party Packs on the basis of it not requiring the same kind of creativity as the best Jackbox fare, here that unfortunate honour falls to The Devils and the Details, since it?s a collaborative team game that doesn?t really translate to working together over Zoom. Of course, in that context, you have to judge Jackbox Party Pack 7 a little differently than its predecessors. (I?m sure plenty of people were playing the games that way before COVID, but I suspect the pandemic accelerated that trend greatly.) It?s not just a fun party game any more - in part because we?re not supposed to having parties - but rather a way to connect with friends across the distance. It?s in this context that Jackbox Party Pack 7 arrives. When this year started, I don?t think I would?ve predicted how many evenings would be spent having virtual Jackbox parties with friends, but…well, here we are in November, and they?ve become a regular part of life. I?ve always liked them, but until I started playing them online with friends in various Twitch and YouTube and Zoom and WhatApp configurations, I never realized how versatile they could be. Like many people, I suspect that the pandemic has given me a new appreciation for the Jackbox series. One noteworthy feature is its integration with existing dark modes on popular websites, eliminating the need to toggle the extension on and off constantly.
