At the minimum, you should download and install a trial version and see whether it's right for you. And yet, as a whole, the app serves a valuable purpose. Of course, some of these are better than others. Final verdictĬleanMyMac X is a terrific maintenance solution that's reasonably priced and packed full of features. ![]() As a matter of convenience alone, CleanMyMac X is worth considering. And yet, going with any of these options means going with others to provide additional tools. Plus, there's a vast number of anti-virus tools available that can protect Macs from malware. For example, CCleaner is great at discovering unnecessary files and getting them ready for deletion, just like MacBooster promises to speed up your computer. There are alternative solutions, but they can only do some of what CleanMyMac X offers. Though it might sometimes feel bloated, CleanMyMac X is an app like no other. The site includes troubleshooting guides, a location to submit malware concerns, and a Contact Us page. You can find CleanMyMac X support from the MacPaw website. Better still, it offers explanations whenever it recommends file deletions. Besides Space Lens, ever section is designed with friendliness in mind. MacPaw has gone out of its way to create a beautiful, easy-to-use app in CleanMyMac X. For example, it's a great resource to find large video files no longer needed.ĬleanMyMax X Space Lens (Image credit: Future) Interface and in use With these identified, you can decide whether to delete them or keep them in place. The Large & Old Files tool is a little more valuable as it identifies "huge" and rarely used files that take up space you. However, some refinement in its design would go a long way in making the feature much better and easier to use. Unfortunately, the Space Lens design has much to be desired and doesn't look nearly as good as other solutions on the market, such as DaisyDisk, one of my favorites. It's intended to give you a birdseye view of what's located in storage. The first one offers a visual comparison of your Mac's folders and files. Use it to delete Spotlight, Safari, and other types of extensions individually or as a group.įinally, the three Files tools are Space Lens, Large & Old Files, and Shredder. The app also includes an extension tool in this location. Unfortunately, the tool tends to be hit or miss as some updates weren't found during my tests. There's also an app update tool, which lets you install multiple app updates concurrently. If they were downloaded from the Mac App Store, they can get added again at any time. Regularly, I use this tool to identify apps I no longer need and remove them to save space and add some order. ![]() Under the former, you can quickly delete more than one app simultaneously, including leftover files from previous deletions. Either way is pain-free and gets the job done.ĬleanMyMac X does a less impressive job with its Applications and Files tools. I typically use Smart Scan, although there are times when I'm troubleshooting a problem and drilling down is best. This way is ideal for anyone who wants to feel more in control before wiping out files or freeing up RAM. If you rather not run the Smart Scan, you can run each tool individually from the app menu. And thanks to the Smart Scan tool, the easiest ones to perform. Finally, under Speed are recommendations to make the machine perform more quickly, such as freeing up RAM and flushing DNS cache.ĬleanMyMac X's Cleanup, Protection, and Speed tools are its best ones. Under Protection, you'll find possible malware. For example, under Cleanup, the app identifies system junk, mail attachments, and trash it believes are worth deleting to save space. After clicking on the hard-to-miss "Scan" button under this section, CleanMyMac X automatically searches for ways to quickly improve the computer's performance by concentrating on three of the five categories above, Cleanup, Protection, and Speed.Īfter CleanMyMac X generates its Smart Scan results, you can click on the "Run" button to automatically perform the recommended tasks or explore the individual findings in more depth.

![]() ![]() The English Football Association and others raised concerns of bribery on the part of the Russian team and corruption from FIFA members. England, which was bidding to host its second tournament, was eliminated in the first round. The Portugal/Spain bid came second, and that from Belgium/Netherlands third. ![]() Russia won the right to be the 2018 host in the second round of voting. The 22-member FIFA Executive Committee convened in Zürich on 2 December 2010 to vote to select the hosts of both tournaments. As such, there were eventually four bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, two of which were joint bids: England, Russia, Netherlands/Belgium, and Portugal/Spain. During the bidding process, the three remaining non- UEFA nations (Australia, Japan, and the United States) gradually withdrew from the 2018 bids, and the UEFA nations were thus ruled out of the 2022 bid. Initially, nine countries placed bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but Mexico later withdrew from proceedings, and Indonesia's bid was rejected by FIFA in February 2010 after the Indonesian government failed to submit a letter to support the bid. The bidding procedure to host the 20 FIFA World Cup tournaments began in January 2009, and national associations had until 2 February 2009 to register their interest. It was the fourth time in the last five World Cups that the holders had been eliminated in the opening stage of the tournament after France in 2002, Italy in 2010 and Spain in 2014. It was the first time since the 1938 FIFA World Cup that a German side did not advance from the first stage of a World Cup tournament. On 27 June 2018, the defending champions, Germany, were knocked out in the group stage. France won the match 4–2 to claim their second World Cup title. The final took place on 15 July at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, with France and Croatia competing for the World Cup. A total of 64 matches were played in 12 venues located in 11 cities. Of the 32 teams, 20 was making back-to-back appearances following the last tournament in 2014, including defending champions Germany, while Iceland and Panama both made their first appearances at a FIFA World Cup. The final tournament involved 32 national teams, which included 31 teams determined through qualifying competitions and the automatically qualified host team. All of the stadium venues are in European Russia to keep travel time manageable. This was the first World Cup held in Europe since the 2006 tournament in Germany, the first ever to be held in Eastern Europe and the eleventh time that it has been held in Europe. ![]() It took place in Russia from 14 June to 15 July 2018, after the country was awarded the hosting rights on 2 December 2010. The 2018 FIFA World Cup was the 21st FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial international football tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. ![]() ![]() ![]() Heck, if Google can't make their crummy (and soon to be dead) Stadia platform (it lets you stream games from their servers to your PC) work without huge hitches and input delays, no way Remote Play between players is a viable way to play a high-speed game like this. Regular multiplayer just shares basic info like button presses, gamestates, etc, while Remote Play downright streams the gamescreen on your end to their end, and so far the internet isn't fast enough to make that work that you're sharing your screen with someone on the other side of the globe, causing huge input and visual delays. (Hope it won't take long to atleast get seperate characters, artifacts and decks for P1 and P2 to play with, while we wait for the full online update.)Īs for why people are having issues with Remote Play, i suppose it's the fact you're streaming the game in addition to sharing it. Suppose online co-op for the Switch will probably be a no-go, but i'd be happy with a well-functioning local one, and maybe i'd pick it up on Steam too for the online. Hope that applies to local co-op on the Switch too. I know its a crazy idea, but it might work, or maybe the devs will have an even cooler idea, who knows! If the donating player has less than 400 health, it just balances the health between them, and of course when inevitably the two both reach 1, that's run over. I propose a simple solution of moving the second player to the first player's location, and having them 'drain' 400 of their HP into the other player's health bar, like an objectively worse version of the healing bosses give you for sparing them. ![]() not the greatest, so if we get rid of that we need something for when one player hits 0 but the other hasn't. also suggest keeping the current 'share a deck' mode as an option, but let us play with different decks, or maybe even different characters. This would fix the 'player 2 is screwed' dilemma for PVP too, because they would see themselves on the standard left side of the screen, and their opponent's actions would be mirrored to the right. I'm personally in favor of online multiplayer, without splitscreen, so you see yourself as player 1 regardless of who's 'hosting'. So I'm wondering what else we as a community would want in our COOP and PVP modes, so hopefully they can get renovated in a future patch. interesting, but ultimately just frustrating. You need to use steam's remote play option, which maybe isn't bad for turn-based games, but given that she was the one hosting I was hit with so much lag I couldn't see any telegraphs, and the idea of sharing a deck and mana pool is. So anyway, I bought a copy for my girlfriend and we wanted to play COOP together. I love this game, I'm not too good at it, but its great. ![]() ![]() ![]() I would like to welcome everyone to today's hearing to review the Farm Credit Administration's proposed rules providing for the issuance of national charters for the Farm Credit System.

I love seeing my students’ personality shine through. Some of these miniature practices were my favorite outcomes. This helped students’ confidence because they knew they could practice the techniques with room to fail. Variations are always supported in my class, but I told them to do it my way first and then push their own ideas after. I told them not to focus so much on creative expression, but understanding the technique. so the adhesive would not tear the paper.Īgain we did this together as a class mixing value and blocking in our sky, horizon line, background, middle ground and foreground. We taped all four edges and rubbed the tape on our jeans etc. We started by taping our paper and ya’ll…this takes forever! I highly recommend using blue artist’s tape, but masking tape will work in a pinch. The third or fourth class period was our “mini” landscape practice. This was also a great time for students to work out any other ideas they have for their landscapes. I googled “watercolor trees black and white” and had so many to choose from. I’d post what I used here, but I don’t want to run into any copyright issues. I gave them laminated handouts with simple tree examples on them. ![]() Students used the back of their Bristol practice paper #publicschoolbudget to practice and I encouraged them to stay away from 100% black trees, but to use the wet on wet techniques and adding fine lines with either a small brush or a bamboo skewer. The next class period was all about painting trees. This was a crowd favorite, especially among those who love drawing characters. So bamboo skewers for the win! Students drew lines and played around with textures. Pen nibs would be great for this, but I have ONE in my entire supply closet and class sizes topping out at 39. These techniques will be used to create a dynamic sky and plant textures in the foreground.įinally, we ended the class period with bamboo skewer drawing. After they played around with that concept we moved on to large washes, adding ink using a wet on wet technique and then paper towel blotting. This is key for creating trees and plant texture. We then progressed to practicing line making using a smaller brush. (Not to be confused with the shoe brand.) These inks are fantastic, and although we don’t use theme for this lesson I love the metallics. Right now I am using Blick India Ink, but Black Cat and Speedball are also excellent choices. It is relatively inexpensive and there are many brands to choose from. I like Bristol because it’s smooth and washes work really well over it. I emphasized while they were working that creating value was a huge part of being successful with their landscapes and to take their time until they really felt comfortable. Some chose to start over right underneath their first attempt. Most students nailed it on their first attempts, and some had to play around to get lighter. We used flat paint brushes, but I love a large round brush for this technique as well. Paper towel blotting is essential when finding the right values, because ink dries fast and it dries dark! I struggle the most with the darkest gray because it tends to just be jet black or too light. White is the easiest, of course, because it is the white of the paper. We started with the darkest value first and then and continued working in sequential order. We marked our pure ink paint well with blue painters tape and then gradually added water to create at least seven values. I demonstrated on my Elmo document camera and we did this together as a class. However, all had done some type of value scale at some point in their artistic journeys. When I surveyed my Art II students, a mix of 10th-12th graders, almost none of them had worked with india ink before. ![]() I think it’s important to have students practice with the actual materials they will be using, and using the right paper is essential with ink. I cut rectangular strips of Bristol for each student to complete their practice techniques. Because my main learning objective was creating space and depth using value, we spent the most class time creating our practice value scales. We started the unit by practicing a variety of india ink techniques. ![]() ![]() Most heavy scanning takes place in the cloud, so there’s virtually zero impact on your local resources.
