Enter the name of any place in the US to see the density of books in homes there. Communities full of Book Gardens and lifelong readers contribute to a higher, healthier quality of life for all citizens. The presence of Book Gardens may seem like an obscure cornerstone of healthy families or communities, but the evidence is clear: strong literacy activity correlates with a better-educated workforce, higher paying jobs, less poverty, lower crime rates, and increased community and civic engagement. Like fresh vegetables, books benefit their consumers, and lead to cultures of reading, strong intellectual roots, and flowering language and creativity. Online book services feature new books or old favorites that are valuable resources for those new to literacy**, as well as those with years of reading experience.īook recommendations become invitations for shared nourishment and enjoyment for minds. Educators pass along their love of books, admired authors and information about their favorite subjects. Teachers who recommend books because it's part of their rewarding jobs. Knowing us less well, they are likely to suggest surprising topics and authors that can expand tastes and interests. Librarians who are the experts when it comes to book recommendations. The source of their enthusiasm is spawned by familial love and a desire for strengthening family bonds. Friends’ book sharing often spawns lively conversations and can lead to deepened relationships.įamily members who just show up with a book in hand, a current favorite of theirs that made them think of us. When friends or neighbors mention what they are reading and enjoying, we might ask to borrow the book or magazine, or jot down its title to enjoy later. One way to keep Book Gardens producing good reads is to seek out recommendations from other "gardeners." The diversity of each person’s thriving Book Garden always includes the contributions of other active readers, such as:įriends’ and neighbors' whose reading recommendations often are the most powerful. Book Gardens yield a “crop” of books that is continually refreshed. ![]() Just like you can grow a vegetable garden, you can grow a Book Garden-a place where there’s a reliable stock of compelling books and/or a flow of such books through them.

![]() If I want to play with the button on the right (e.g., Donkey Kong), I assign the player-2 start button to be jump. In order to do this on my control panel, I squeezed in a dedicated 4-way stick that uses the same button(s) as the player-1 8-way stick, which places the buttons to the left of the stick. ![]() For that reason, it would be nice to have the option of playing 4-way games either right- or left-handed. Let’s face it, LOTS of the earliest classics use 4-way sticks, and the buttons on those control panels showed little consistency with regard to where they sat relative to the stick. IMO, since you said you mainly want to play “classics from the 70’s and 80’s” your panel layout doesn’t seem to give enough emphasis to providing a good 4-way joystick experience. Good call on keeping the buttons to a minimum, but I would have moved the white “admin” buttons away from the “game” buttons just for a cleaner look (maybe even put them on the front or side of the controller box), and I would have put a 4th game button in the row to fully cover Neo Geo.Īs I’m sure you’ve learned by now, building a general purpose arcade control panel is tricky and riddled with compromises. Never used one myself, but I hear the mag-stick plus has too short of a throw in 8-way mode. Donkey Kong is a mandatory game for me, and I’d not be able to play on that panel because you absolutely need a 4-way stick to play seriously, and the only one available here has buttons on the wrong side of the joystick. That layout is fine for lots of 4-way joystick games, though. This would make the “player 2” side a bit clunky, because it’s backwards. The vast majority of games that use an 8-way joystick have the buttons to the right of the stick. Two different types of joysticks makes for an awkward feel playing classic dual-stick shooters like Robotron, Rescue, and Smash TV (very important titles for me) Spinner above trackball = potential hand injuries when playing “party games” like Golden Tee Note, the issues I mention might not bother you, and if not, then great I’m just saying they are things I would consider if I were undertaking the project. Just thought I should check the pool of community wisdom before i start cutting wood. So a simple layout left-to-right will be : joystick, 4 buttons, spinner above trackball, joystick, 4 buttons I also obviously can't allow for some real oddballs like Sundance.Īre there any obvious classics that would not be covered by 4 buttons for each joystick? Is there any obvious reason to arrange the 4 buttons in a pattern other than a slightly curved row ( o ^ ^ ^ ) ? I'm assuming that for "player 1" I'll be fine using the joystick with my left hand or the spinner/trackball with my right hand, and using the left side buttons with the other hand. Most of the control panels I've seen seem to be laid out for "fighting games", and I will NOT be playing any "fighting games". I want to make a freestanding (table/lap) control console with these which is suitable for "classic" arcade games of the 1970's and 1980's. I ordered a trackball, spinner, 2 joysticks, and a heap of buttons.

It took me half the game to realise I could throw things, as the mechanics were never clear and you didn't need to be able to do this until late in the game. ![]() The map was clunky, as there was no way to mark areas you wanted to come back to and there were no labels anywhere. Unlocking the hover bike would've been a great way to help people explore without being penalised with a huge amount of wasted walking time. There was very little incentive in any of the side quests or to explore, especially as you have to do so at walking speed (with the occasional run). Because of this I found myself getting annoyed rather than enjoying the story. The controls and game physics were super clunky: bombs or barrels would routinely "stick" halfway up a wall, camera angles would be consistently pointing the wrong way, I found the "jump" mechanic to be super arbitrary (could often get into areas I wasn't supposed to be able to by just running at a wall for a bit) and the boundaries (or lack thereof while swimming) seemed extremely arbitrary. I really enjoyed the first oceanhorn game! I finished this one, but I found this one to be pretty frustrating throughout. ![]() I give Oceanhorn 2: knights of the lost realm perfect the good you have first before you try to tackle the next form of this genre I sat down expecting to play another under the radar sleeper hit like the first and unfortunately rather than create a solid Zelda like series, the developers of this game seems to be choosing to literally chase the zelda dragon and im expecting oceanhorn 3 to be some breath of the wild clone. And there are no interesting characters, bosses or story to drag you through.8 hours should never feel like 20. it just isn’t… the gameplay hook is run to this spot and figure out how to get to the next spot, going through various dungeons, solving puzzles withte various items you unlock or with the help of your companions to progress the story, taking down enemies, finally taking down a boss as you attempt to return each of this games emblems to their rightful spot, and all the while I was bored out of my mind, the world is no fun to explore and find its treasures, the design of these dungeons are bland, the combat here is so unfun, and the game overall just felt unintuitive to play, it auto jumps for you which is awkward and frustrating during platforming sections, the roll is the usual jump button which just never feels right, some puzzles require consumable items to solve, so if you mess up you have to run around searching for more to try out this new mechanic the game is trying to teach you all over again… oceanhorn 2 is just a hassle to get through. I found oceanhorn 2 not fun to actually play. once the game started I was even more excited, this 8 hour long game is beautiful, you can tell so much care and attention went into crafting this world, this was not a rush job, there was actual effort put into oceanhorn 2, everything works the way its intended. ![]() The original oceanhorn is one of my favorite indie games of all time, I absolutely love it, so needless to say I was excited to jump into the sequal to this Zelda clone, and ocean horn got even Zelda clonier, but not in a good way as this is more of a 3rd person action adventure Zelda clone rather than a top down cute puzzle adventure. ![]() This feature is currently available as an optional alpha update in BetterTouchTool, and it’s still rough around the edges, so don’t consider this short post a full review of it I’m sure we will revisit this functionality more in depth over the course of 2022. Pros: Adds sorely missed functionality to trackpad / magic mouseīoth straight forward, but also with advanced tweaks and settings availableĬons: Possibly buggy? (I installed version 0.For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been playing around with (and thoroughly enjoying) BetterTouchTool’s latest major feature: the notch bar. I have only installed it this week, and so far no issues with bugs. I don't know if you have used Win 7 at all, but to my mind one of the best features is the 'windows snapping' to resize windows (if not - it means by dragging a program window to various places it changes size: to the top of the screen and it maximizes, plus to each edge for half screen left/right).Īnother missing feature, one of the best features of an iphone / ipod touch / android phone, is 'pinch to zoom': by moving two fingers closer together / further apart changes the size of text etc on a web page etc. Very good tool for adding a couple of missing features to touchpad/magic mouse, for example: It also does not help that the app lacks instructions, and there isn't that much information about the app available. However, understanding how each function works may be challenging for inexperienced users. It is also lightweight and does not require too much maintenance. The app functions well and gives users control of their device's gestures. Overall, BetterTouchTool is a must-try if you wish to improve your Mac computer's organization. It is also low maintenance and does not need constant updates. However, you will be happy to know that the app comes in a lightweight package and works fast. If that's the case, restarting the app from the menu bar should do the trick. Additionally, the shortcuts you set up occasionally stop working. Users should also note that some modifications require system preferences changes. And although the overall interface is good, it can be a little confusing. Additionally, the features are a little difficult to interpret outside the main menus. Users will also notice the lack of instructions, which is a pity since understanding all its functions is not that simple. However, after initial startup, it will attempt to access all of the computers on the test network. Not for the inexperiencedĪvailable as freeware, BetterTouchTool is easy to download and install. It also comes with a screenshot tool allowing you to adjust images on the fly. This tool also comes with an integrated clipboard manager to copy multiple items at once. Moreover, you can specify which app the shortcuts will apply to and which will be disabled. You can also dream up unusual key sequences, movement gestures, and even drawings to replace default options. ![]() Even better, it also comes with a BTT remote, offering a way to receive remote input through a free Apple device app.īetterTouchTool also allows users to create any shortcut by recording newly expanded shortcuts for any device. Moreover, it also accepts input from paired Siri Remote, MIDI triggers, and key sequences. The app centers around input methods, assigning trigger sets to common items, such as a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or regular mouse, keyboard, and Touch Bar. One of the things you will appreciate about the app is the range of input devices it lets you control. ![]() ![]() As mentioned, this tool allows users to customize and configure their trackpad gestures completely. Among the growing list of utility apps is BetterTouchTool. Luckily, there are a chock-full of great Mac apps that can elevate your daily computing life. Some find it not particularly flexible, while others think it lacks essential features. For average Mac users, the trackpads default functioning is sometimes frustrating. by running git clone obviously I need this working in the GUI. Update: I can clone the repo using the built in terminal in sourcetree. If I copy the command and paste it in a terminal window I get the following output $ git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -no-optional-locks ls-remote HEADħa1011f878c4e333b3de1773a04ff0474dfd0f2e refs/heads/masterĤ3092faac7a28f071f0cf9d0edded6d405ec6b4c refs/tags/RevBDatapackIss1ĭ471b780e80f8af945982402f24c6a3aee8c7001 refs/tags/Sent_CJ_22_August Please make sure you have the correct access rights When I click details I get the following output Command: git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -no-optional-locks ls-remote fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Open your system tray and select Pageant (the icon of a computer wearing a fedora). Keep default settings on new window and select Generate and follow instructions to generate SSH key pair. I can view the files in the repository, but when I go to clone I get the following error Pick Create or Import SSH Keys under Tools tab. I have been added to my company git account, and have the same developer rights as other engineers. ![]() ![]() With Git 2.17/2.18, you can attempt a partial or narrow clone, to clone only a subfolder, but that supposes the remote server does support this. You can do a sparse checkout elsewhere, and then copy your files. I cannot clone git repository to my local drive using sourcetree. Yet, this is preferable, considering that even a partial clone, if it existed, would still preserve the asset/tools path structure. ![]() The result is printed to confirm our conversion.

In Chapter 21, the jasper stone is mentioned three times which gives us a total of four in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. In the wonderful book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the jasper stone is only mentioned in one other chapter, Chapter 4, verse 3, And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Eleven more foundations are built upon the jasper stone. The wall itself is jasper, and is built upon the first foundation, the jasper stone. In Chapter 21 the jasper stone has the preeminence and is compared with the glory of God. The first foundation of the wall of this city is the jasper stone. It is finally joined to the earth to show forth the glory of God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
