![]() On top of that, the interface is incredibly simple and easy to navigate. It has many brushes and customization options. Sketchbook is an incredibly powerful application. And you might think that it is a bit of a slouch, but nothing could be further from the truth. The app makes the creative pursuits of all digital artists possible for free. Another great thing, that we could not believe.Sketchbook is really available for free!Īt Pen Tips, we truly appreciate Sketchbook for this. Sketchbook is available for Apple, Android, and desktops. PenPad This is a shortcut keyboard that lets you keep your pen on the canvas so you don’t have to break your creative flow! At Pen Tips we have listened to you and came up with a solution. Anybody who is a digital artist knows that you need to take your pen off the canvas in order to change settings, such as brush size. The last con is something we are working hard to fix. But, we have faith in all digital artists, and if people have done it before you, you can do it too. So, when you make the decision to go with Procreate, also realize that you choose Apple.Īnother thing about Procreate is that it takes a bit of time and effort to learn how everything works. The advantage is that everything works really well within the ecosystem, but that it is difficult to step out of it. Like many things Apple, they have a closed ecosystem. You cannot get Procreate on Android or Windows or any other system. One downside about Procreate is that it is exclusive to Apple devices. Also, the updates do NOT require you to pay any extra fees. With many apps choosing the route of the subscription model, it is great to see an outlier. The good thing is that you only have to pay it once. You pay about €10/$10 to get Procreate on your iPad. You could, if you wanted to, go to the Rijksmuseum or Louvre and act as if your art is hanging on their walls! This means you can show your artwork in the real world. The latest update of Procreate (5.2) added 3D and Augmented Reality (AR). Also, Procreate offers lots of customization options, so even if you need to tweak some things to fit your style to perfection, no problemo señor(ita)! It offers an incredible library of brushes and other tools that make sure you can get exactly what you need. Procreate came out in 2011, and has gotten better ever since. In short, Procreate is a beast of an app. ![]() Let’s find out which is better, Procreate or Sketchbook? We will highlight the pros and cons of both of these applications to help you make a decision about which app suits your needs best. In this blog we are going to take a look at two of the best apps for the iPad when it comes to digital art: Procreate vs Autodesk Sketchbook. ![]() This work is already in progress and you can expect to see it in iOS and Android updates coming later this year.At PenTips we are interested in creating and finding the best tools for the digital artist. You can download the brush sets either directly from the Extras main page, or click through to see a preview of the full set.Īnd yes, for those on mobile we’re working on bringing brush import/export to the mobile app too. Play around with them and see what you might do! We also added in a few sets that were previously only available on the mobile app.Īll these brushes are now available in a visual library on our Extras page - making it easier to see what each set is and how you might use it. We’ve added a Marker set for those who miss the old markers, and some blending brushes that apply the same effects and layer blends only with a brush. While the team is busy working on the next updates, we thought now would be a great time to get some new brush sets out to you while you wait (plus, creating new brush sets doesn’t require taking a developer off feature work □). New free brush sets are now available for Sketchbook Pro!

He preferred American thrillers and detective serials such as The Man from U.N.C.L.E. He also would have known about Calhoun’s experiments - gleaned from his subscription to New Scientist or from the bulging package of research papers he received each week from his close friend, the psychologist and computer scientist Chris Evans.īallard probably did not watch Doomwatch. As his daughter Fay vividly recalled at “ Inner Space”, a recent symposium on Ballard at the British Library, the mice “multiplied quickly and then started to eat each other.” She could “still see the bitten headless torsos and separated heads lying in the sawdust.” The mice were kept in a glass box in the front room where the family watched TV and ate together, so her father would have seen them too. In the west London suburb of Shepperton, Ballard’s children kept mice, purchased from a local pet shop. His concept of the “behavioural sink” chimed with despairing journalistic reports of “sink estates” and “sink schools” in 1970s Britain. As historians Edmund Ramsden and Jon Adams have shown, Calhoun’s rats circulated widely as “scientific evidence” of the dangers of urban overcrowding in human society. Calhoun’s “rat utopia” became a living hell.Ĭalhoun published the early results of his experiments in 1962 in the now-classic Scientific American article, “Population Density and Social Pathology”. Well before the rats reached the maximum possible density predicted by Calhoun, however, they began to display a range of “deviant” behaviours: mothers neglected their young dominant males became unusually aggressive subordinates withdrew psychologically others became hypersexual the living cannibalized the dead. The result was a population explosion followed by pathological overcrowding, then extinction. Calhoun at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland.Ĭalhoun built a “rat city” in which everything a rat could need was provided, except space. It was a rodent and, in particular, the laboratory experiments performed on rats in the 1960s by ethologist John B. But the most influential example of “ pathological togetherness” lifted from the animal kingdom was not a bird. The factory-farmed broiler chicken was, in the early 1970s, as much a novel convenience of modern living as the concrete tower block, and feather pecking and cannibalism were real concerns. ![]() The episode, soon to be released on DVD for the first time, concludes with Quist calling for a Royal Commission on the “roots of violence in modern society.” On the contrary, they become so aggressive that their beaks have to be cut off “to prevent them tearing each other to pieces.” For the episode’s writer, Doctor Who veteran Louis Marks, it was only a short, logical step from aggressive poultry to antisocial people. Towards the end of the episode, head doomwatcher Dr Spencer Quist (John Paul) muses that chickens living in batteries do not become docile as expected. “ The Human Time Bomb”, which first aired in February 1971, also links concerns about high-density housing to animal behaviour. ![]() One grim episode of the then-popular BBC television series Doomwatch (think an ecological version of The X-Files for 1970s Britain) explores social breakdown, crime, and violence in a “compact urban unit”. Anthony Burgess’s 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange, adapted by Stanley Kubrick in 1971, is one of the earliest and most famous examples of a genre that flourished in the 1970s. ![]() Dr Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston), a physiologist who occupies a spartan flat about halfway up, observes the downward spiral with an air of clinical detachment.īallard wrote High-Rise at a time when the tabloid press was filled with real-life horror stories about London’s crumbling tower blocks and dystopian science fiction traded in sociopathic delinquency. The building serves as a microcosm for society, its floors stratified by class with the building’s architect, Anthony Royal (Jeremy Irons in the film), at the top. The timely and already much discussed adaptation of JG Ballard’s 1975 novel traces the mechanical and social collapse of a new forty-storey luxury apartment block on the outskirts of London. Director Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise opened last Friday in cinemas around the country. The Page of Cups is more of a dreamer than a doer. This card may point to a career in the arts, like writing, fashion design, or fine art.Īll of this good news comes with a caveat, however. You might be about to step into the role of your dreams, or receive news that’s very fulfilling to you. When the Page of Cups appears in a career and business reading, it indicates good news on an emotional front. The suit of Cups doesn’t typically deal with career, business, or money matters, but it can sometimes show up regardless. Page of Cups Meaning – Careers, Business & Money (Upright) While you probably can finagle a reconciliation out of this, it’s doomed to failure unless your ex does some growing up. They have little control over their emotions and almost no idea how to behave right now. Your ex loves you and hates you, wants to be with you immediately, and never wants to see you again. When reversed, the Page of Cups isn’t a great omen for a reconciliation. Page of Cups Meaning – As Reconciliation (Reversed) Just be aware that the Page is the least mature of the court cards - it’s possible that this person’s desires are based on a fantasy, not the reality of being in a relationship with another person. Upright, the Page of Cups is a good sign for reconciliation. Page of Cups Meaning – As Reconciliation (Upright) If you feel the same way, you might want to try to let them know first. This person loves and wants to be loved, but has no idea how to get from point A to point B. They might have some of the same feelings, but they’re tempered with a frustration and inability to properly express themselves. Reversed, the Page’s immaturity becomes more pronounced. Page of Cups Meaning – As Feelings (Reversed) It’s possible that this person is pretty innocent, and thus overcome by the intensity of their emotions. While this is sweet, it’s also unrealistic. This person is likely feeling a rose-tinted, hearts-and-Cupid kind of love for you - the kind you see in cheesy romance movies.

Sometimes, this card warns that you’re playing childish games that aren’t likely to get you the love you seek. Even if your love is returned, you might discover that your potential partner is needy, juvenile, jealous, or manipulative. If you’re single, then the Page of Cups reversed hints at unrequited love. ![]() Either way, things are likely to be challenging in the near future. In other contexts, he can also represent a period of selfishness, immaturity, or emotional neediness for one or both partners. He might indicate a canceled or delayed wedding, or even a breakup. When reversed, the Page of Cups isn’t a great sign for love and relationships. Page of Cups Meaning – Love & Relationships (Reversed) He might also represent a potential partner who’s youthful, romantic, and a bit of a dreamer. You or your lover might be feeling extra romantic during this time.įor single people, the Page of Cups may point to some good news related to your romantic prospects. He may even herald a proposal, marriage, or the growth of your family.Įven if this isn’t the case, he can indicate a period of deepening emotional connection to your partner. ![]() The suit of Cups deals with love and emotional matters, so the Page of Cups upright is a good omen for love and relationship readings.

When this card signifies a person, they are likely to be young, attention-seeking, vain, shallow, and born under a Water sign. In some contexts, he may point to emotional wounds stemming from childhood neglect or abuse. He can also indicate that you’re lapsing into his negative aspects, like jealousy, gullibility, clinginess, or promiscuity. When reversed, the Page of Cups can indicate disappointing or delayed news, especially related to your friends, family, or romantic partners. They may also be soft-spoken, and have light features. In this context, the person is likely to be young (or at least youthful), sensitive, a dreamer, and born under a Water sign. He may also represent connecting to your fun, youthful side and experimenting with your self-expression. ![]() This is likely to relate to parties, social events, or romance. When the Page of Cups appears to you in a general reading, he’s a harbinger of good news. See also: Check out Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot decks here. Even the fish in his cup seems to be enjoying itself. The Page looks happy to deliver some good news. This underlines his position as a messenger for the element of Water.Īll told, the atmosphere of the card is peaceful and optimistic. A fish pops out of the top, and almost appears to be speaking to the Page. ![]() Note that in terms of the errors made by the other poster, you aren't "forced" to bet $1 here, you can simply quit the hand, but of course, it would be wise not to. This is an extreme example, generally the ratio is not 100:1, but it serves as an obvious case that anyone can understand. Even if you think you won't win, you are pot committed to seeing the card for $1 the amount of additional investment compared to your initial investment and the potential winnings is negligible. To have the last card of the hand be dealt, it costs you $1 (and brings the pot to a total of $404). Now, the total pot (amount that the winner will win) is $400. ![]() You have bet $100 to be part of a hand, and three other players have matched this bet. The "pot" part comes from the fact that, especially with multiple players, there is a multiple of the amount of money you've put in that can potentially be won. Generally, being pot committed means that the additional bets you'd have to make in order to stay in the game are relatively small compared to how much you've put in (there's also a factor of your total "stack" or amount you have to bet), that it's worth seeing through, in case the other person is bluffing, or you happen to hit one or more cards that makes you a winner. In poker terms (and I'll bring it back around to real life after a quick explanation), in many cases you can be pot committed without being in a position to lose all your chips. It also brings up, although stands somewhat opposed to, the "sunk cost fallacy," which basically says that people tend to keep investing (time, money, resources, etc.) into something because they see how much investment they've already put in, and what a shame it would be to quit the sunk cost fallacy is that, in many cases, it would be wiser to quit when viewing the potential return on your investment, untainted by the past investment. What pot committed really means is: "You have so much invested, that the amount of additional investment to see it through is worth the risk and investment versus just quitting and losing everything so far." It is related to being "past the point of no return," where it's easier to just continue onto your destination than to turn around and go all the way back home. In the second part, the error is in "be forced to bet everything." The first part, the error is in "that he can no longer fold." In poker, you can fold at any point. I think the above is a poor explanation, specifically this part:Ī player is pot committed or committed if he has already invested so many chips in the pot that he can no longer fold if he is raised all-in. They are stuck having to keep "playing", but with the risk of ending up with nothing. If a law grad loses their scholarships, they can be forced into a difficult situation: they have invested a lot of time/money/effort such that they do not want to quit, yet they may not be able to afford to continue. So, as far as I understand it, pot committed means that somebody can, because of how much they have in the pot, be forced to bet everything they have remaining, and thereafter they have to play to the end, at a risk of losing everything. he can no longer make any more wagers or call any more bets To bet all the chips one has at the table.

Paw Protection for Dogs in Hot Pavements and Terrains In addition, they help keep your dog's paws clean and dry, so you won't have to worry about dirt getting into their nails. You can use them as protection against excessive heat and potential injuries. Some of them are made out of neoprene material, which is waterproof and breathable. These products are similar to booties, except they come in different colors and designs. If your dog spends most of their time outdoors, you may want to purchase paw covers. Immediately get your dog indoors and call your vet immediately if you notice excessive drooling, which is typically the first sign of canine heatstroke. You should always pay close attention to your dog's body temperature and watch for signs of heatstroke. Your dog might enjoy playing in the backyard or going for a stroll down the street, but excessive heat can be dangerous. This helps prevent cracks, cuts, or peels on the paws. But if you don't fancy sunscreen, you can moisturize your dog's feet with a water- or oil-based moisturizer. Instead, only use a small amount on your dog's paws. However, you need to be careful not to apply too much sunscreen because it could burn your dog's skin. Sunscreen is a must for pets in the summer. Just be sure to stick around to supervise! In addition, if you have pool access, you can let your dog swim to cool off. If possible, you can add water to their food and/or feed them twice daily. That's why keeping your dog hydrated throughout the day is crucial. Below are some tips to keep your dog safe and protected during such hot and humid conditions: And just like winter, it can pose a serious risk to your pet's paws. Summer is another season that brings about many changes. Make sure they wear proper footwear and clothing, and check their paws regularly. Also, you must monitor your dog closely when exposed to freezing temperatures. Instead, you want to keep an eye on the clock and give your dog enough time to rest after each outing. To avoid these things happening while still giving your pup playtime outside, ensure you don't leave them running around in the snow for long periods. It can cause frostbite, hypothermia, and even death. Be Mindful of the Time the Dog is Out in Cold Weather ConditionsĬold weather poses a threat to your dog's health.Boots are designed specifically for walking through deep snow and mud, and hunters often use them. On the other hand, if you plan to walk your dog in muddy or slippery areas, you may want to invest in boots. They are usually made of rubber or plastic and feature a non-skid bottom. Booties are easy to slip into and remove, offering your dog more support than regular shoes. If you plan to take your dog for routine walks during snowy or icy days, you may want to consider purchasing some booties or foot waxes. These pads come in various sizes, so you can choose the right size depending on your dog. You can also consider using a heated mat or pad to keep your dog warm and comfortable while at home. For example, you can use an old blanket or tarp as extra padding under your dog's bed. If possible, try to find a place where they can stay dry and sheltered from windy conditions. The first thing you should do is ensure you provide your dog with adequate shelter.

Then, even after Skull Face is dead, he still does evil things like help the children hijack Metal Gear and even mutate a strain of the vocal cord parasites so that it kills a bunch of people. Then, nine years later, Huey decides he wants to defect back to Diamond Dogs (after he already made a Metal Gear for the crazy guy with the skull face). ![]() He then collaborates with Skull Man to help XOF infiltrate and destroy Mother Base. So, Huey’s a part of Big Boss’ army in Peace Walker. Oh, he’s also a crazy murderer, but his motivations are never clear. However, that portrayal completely changes in Metal Gear Solid V as Huey is now a mad scientist that revels in making horrifying machines. He’s in Peace Walker, playing a similar role to his son as a scientist who felt used by others to inadvertently make weapons of mass destruction. Huey Emmerich is the father or Hal Emmerich, aka Otacon from the Solid Snake-era Metal Gear Solid games. Image Credit: Konami What the heck is up with Huey? So many plot threads, including that extra strain of the English vocal cord parasite that Eli has, remain open when the credits roll. Still, it’s hard to believe that these elements remained unfinished. How was this cut?Ī possible explanation: You’d like to think Kojima had an artistic reason, but it’s far more likely, given all of the drama with him and Konami, that the studio was simply tired of pouring money into Metal Gear Solid V and told him that he had to finish the game. Yup, the special edition for The Phantom Pain comes with a feature that shows off the cutscenes for a final mission that would have pit players against Eli inside the Metal Gear. It feels like something was cut, probably because something was cut. As it is, The Phantom Pain offers no payoff to the stories of Eli, “Psycho Mantis,” or the child soldiers, despite all of them having major parts in the game. It seemed like the story was setting up for a big confrontation with Eli and the Metal Gear.Įxcept it never came. Halfway through the second chapter, Eli, Psycho Mantis (it never says it’s Psycho Mantis, but come on, it’s Psycho Mantis), and some child soldiers hijack the Metal Gear that Snake destroyed at the end of the first chapter and disappear past the horizon. The Phantom Pain positions Eli as a major character, hinting (and, in the end, confirming) that the 12 year old was Liquid Snake, the villain from the original Metal Gear Solid.
