You can head on over to Nexus Mods to download the Talking Heads Dialog Interfaces manually or automatically using the Nexus Mods Manager. Nexus Mods user daroskey thanks Maffej for work on the original Talking Heads mod for Fallout 3, which basically does the same thing but for Bethesda's 2008 classic. To get the authentic Fallout 1 and 2 experience, daroskey recommends using this mod with the " Fallout Classic Font with Accents," which changes the default New Vegas font to the one that matches the original games. You can also get the mod with or without the actual window framing the character you're talking to, and you can opt for each side of the conversation window to be filled in with "plates." However, those plates will apparently obstruct the XP-gain and quest notifications, so perhaps don't get that version of the mod unless you're extremely confident in your playthrough. You can choose between five distinct looks, including Desert Ranger, Reilly's Rangers, Talon Company, Enclave, and Vault-Tec colors. The Talking Heads mod also comes with a number of different cosmetic options to customize the look of your conversation window.

" My Friend Dahmer is, at its heart, a story about failure," he told Vulture back in April. Could someone have stopped him from doing what he did? Shouldn't have someone, anyone, noticed that something wasn't quite right? In Backderf's opinion, the answer is yes. The trailer plays that up with every second, giving us new answers about Dahmer's young life that only lead to more questions. In the trailer, after his doctor tells him he's fine, Dahmer asks, "What about what's on a patient's mind?"ĭahmer's backstory is like a ticking time bomb since we know that he committed his first murder only three weeks after graduating high school. "I see things in you that I don't like about myself," he tells his son, later asking him to "be more normal."ĭahmer was a disturbed kid who supposedly drank to forget the questionable thoughts he had in his mind - thoughts that everyone around him seemed to ignore. He had a mom (Anne Heche) who struggled with her own mental illness and a dad (Dallas Roberts) who wasn't sure how to handle it, which made him tough on his son. He was a shy kid who was bullied by his fellow classmates. There's also moments in the trailer that suggest Dahmer wasn't much different than the average teenager. But Backderf, played by The Naked Brothers Band star Alex Wolff, simply says, "I think he's kind of hilarious." "Jeff's a little off," one of Dahmer's classmates says in the trailer after Dahmer has a "spaz" attack in the middle of the hallway. He's fixated on dead animals, explaining that he "likes bones," for one. In the trailer there are little clues that Dahmer wasn't like the other boys. He does this by taking a closer look back at Dahmer, played by Disney Channel star and R5 member Ross Lynch, and his behavior during senior year, which at the time maybe didn't seem so weird. It's Backderf's attempt at making sense of how his high school friend could eventually go on to gruesomely kill 17 people. The coming of age film looks at how Jeffrey Dahmer becomes the Jeffrey Dahmer, and explores what his formative years were like. My Friend Dahmer paints a portrait of Dahmer before he was a serial killer that shows he wasn't always a monster but actually was a real person, a fact that is easy to forget all these years later. Of course, those watching the movie probably already know what Backderf's friend Dahmer becomes, but the movie asks you to put that aside - if only for a moment. The movie is based on John "Derf" Backderf's 2012 graphic novel of the same name who remembers what it was like growing up in Ohio with Dahmer back in 1978 when he was just a teenager, and not the infamous cannibalistic serial killer he would become known as to the world.

This is one feature that really makes Kingsoft Office stand out. As well, the Page Layout tab allows you to easily add/change things like orientation, size, breaks, columns, line numbers, text wrapping, and text direction. There is also an abundance of what Kingsoft calls Materials (lines, connectors, shapes, arrows, images, buttons, etc.) that you can quickly add to the document. With the new Paragraph Layout tool, you can drag and drop your paragraph layouts (on a per-paragraph basis) to make the document look exactly how you need it to look. Kingsoft Office Writer is almost like a word processor/page layout tool in one. But as for Microsoft Office compatibility, Kingsoft bests LibreOffice and OpenOffice. You need to save those documents in the Microsoft Office format (or, say, RTF) to open them. Although Kingsoft Office is highly compatible with the Microsoft Office formats, it is not compatible with LibreOffice/OpenOffice default formats. You can open/save documents (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) from Microsoft Office 97/2000/2003/2007/2010 (in both standard and compressed formats). The Kingsoft suite was developed with compatibility in mind and it shows. Kingsoft Office has a high compatibility with the de facto standard in business - Microsoft Office. Though it doesn't contain all the tools offered by either Microsoft Office or LibreOffice (it offers only a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation tools), it's far more cost effective than the Microsoft offering and more stable than the LibreOffice alternative.ĭon't believe me? Until you actually try out the tool, the best way I can convince you is to give you 10 solid reasons why Kingsoft Office is superior to the competition. That's a shame because it's one of the best office suites on the market. Unless you live in China, you've probably never heard of Kingsoft Office.

Critical reception īill Lamb of awarded "Run It!" a four-star rating, commending the song's backing music, Brown's voice, and chorus, but called it "another cookie cutter Scott Storch production." Andy Kellman of AllMusic noted it as one of the album's top tracks, commenting that the song's "way of tempering Brown's small-town innocence with hard-edged backing and a guest spot from an MC of ill repute is clearly a strategy to make the singer appeal to more than tween girls." Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone said that the song gets by "thanks to a slinky synth beat and the mix of smooth seduction and cunning come-ons in Brown's baby-mack vocals." Chart performance The music video received two nominations at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards for "Best New Artist" and "Viewer's Choice", but lost to Avenged Sevenfold's "Bat Country" and Fall Out Boy's "Dance, Dance", respectively.

At the end, Brown and his love interest are about to kiss before the security guards arrive, and the whole gym is evacuated, with both of them pulled in separate directions. During the sequences, Brown makes several movements toward his love interest. The video features several dance sequences in which the males and females dance off against each other. Directed by Erik White, it portrays an underground dance inside a school gym, where Brown meets a girl ( Destiny Lightsy) that he is suddenly attracted to and with whom he wants to dance. The music video for "Run It!" was released on August 8, 2005. Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone called the song "a de- crunked ' Yeah!' that gets by thanks to a slinky synth beat and the mix of smooth seduction and cunning come-ons in Brown's baby-mack vocals." The song features rap verses from American hip-hop recording artist Juelz Santana. Brown's vocals have been described as "sweet" and "baby mack"-like. The track is composed in the key of C# minor as a Crunk&B song that consists of slinky synth beats, a catchy chorus, an ominous, creepy background, and elements of Scott Storch productions.

On the day of the competition, Lee finds in his car trunk Elle's applications to Harvard, angering him. Elle shares a dance with Marco, almost kissing him but stops upon hearing the OMG girls gossiping about her. The Halloween Dance arrives, and Lee forgets to tell Rachel that they changed costumes (Rachel was a marshmallow while Lee and Elle were going to be crackers making a smore), upsetting her even more. After leaving Rachel waiting at the movies, she asks Lee to talk with Elle, promising he will but never does. Unbeknownst to Elle, Lee's relationship with Rachel is having problems, as Elle is going everywhere with them and not letting them have their time as a couple. As Marco and Elle start passing the time together, they grow closer, and an attraction between them initiates. Lee has an accident on one of their practice sessions (later revealed to be fake) and proposes that Marco become her dance partner, which she isn't too happy to accept but eventually does. She finds an earring below Noah's bed, making her angry and confronting Noah, who assures her nothing has happened between him and Chloe and asking her to trust him. Elle visits Noah in Boston, meeting his new friends and Chloe, making her more insecure. Elle does it without telling Lee.Įlle talks with her father about college tuition and learns money is a problem, and is willing to participate with Lee in a dance competition with a cash reward for first place. Noah suggests Elle apply to Harvard, which clashes with her plans to study at University of California, Berkeley with Lee (where their moms met and became friends). Elle beats Marco on the dancing game, forcing him to participate in the booth. Elle and Lee are planning the kissing booth again for the Charity Fair, while Lee is trying to convince Elle to have Marco Peña, the attractive new transfer student, also known as the new "Noah Flynn," be one of the kissers. Her senior year begins with her classmates gossiping about how she and Noah will eventually break up, making her fear elevate as Noah has befriended an attractive British girl named Chloe on Instagram. The film starts with Elle narrating her time with Noah before he leaves for Harvard. The advent of Shockwave and Flash created a boom in web-based games, encouraging designers to create simple games that could be hosted on many different websites and which could be played to completion in one short sitting. Some publishers and developers branded themselves specifically as casual game companies, like Big Fish Games, PopCap Games, and MumboJumbo. In the mid-2000s, more sites specialized in game hosting and publishing, such as Gamesville and RealNetworks. The company published four Microsoft Entertainment Packs for casual gaming on office computers from 1990 to 1992.Ĭasual games started to flourish online in the 1990s along with the rise of the World Wide Web, with card games and board games available from paid services like AOL and Prodigy, and then from web portals, like Yahoo! Games and Microsoft's Gaming Zone. Subsequent versions of Windows included casual games Minesweeper, FreeCell, and Spider Solitaire. Microsoft's Solitaire (1990), which came free with Microsoft Windows, is widely considered the first hit "casual game" on a computer, with more than 400 million people having played the game as of 2007. It was quickly learned and immensely popular, and is credited with making Nintendo's fledgling portable gaming system a success. In 1989, Nintendo's Game Boy was released with Tetris as a free pack-in game. Journalist Chris Kohler wrote in 2010 that Namco's arcade game Pac-Man (1980), which debuted during the golden age of video arcade games, may be the first casual video game, due to its "cute cast of characters and a design sensibility that appealed to wider audiences than the shoot-em-up Space Invaders." It is estimated to have been played more than ten billion times during the 20th century, making it the highest-grossing video game of all time. The term " hyper-casual game" or "instant game" arose in 2017 to describe extremely easy-to-learn games that require no download, being played in an existing app like a web browser or messaging app, and that usually monetize by showing advertisements to the player. Any game monetization method can be used, from retail distribution to free-to-play to ad-supported.
At this point, the TV thinks it is getting an audio signal from the football game and thus starts playing the audio from that app. The TV will detect the change in channel and then switch over to the Weather Channel automatically. This issue occurs when your TV detects an audio signal from something other than what you are watching.įor example, let’s say you are watching a football game on your connected streaming app (like NFL Sunday Ticket), and then you switch over to your TV to watch the Weather Channel.

This is an effective strategy that almost always confuses enemy teams.įreya is a snowball character – meaning, she gets stronger as the match wears on. His mobility around the map is so good that it’s hard to catch him by surprise anyway.Ĭroak is best used as a hit-and-run character that cripples enemies, gets out, then leaps back in again. He’s far from what you’d call a tank character, but he doesn’t need to be. His abilities are centered on sneaking around and poisoning enemies for massive damage over time. We think the whole community agrees that Croak is one of the foremost assassin units in the game. She’s more of an escape artist with her stuns instead of a defensive bulwark. If you’re bringing Blossom to the fight, keep in mind to protect her at all times as she’s quite easy to put down. Her healing and sustenance are not as impressive as other champions, but she makes up for this with excellent area control, good damage, and constant disruption to enemies. Championīlossom is a cross between the support and controller roles. These are good champions that have all the necessary tools to contribute to any team in a big way. His ability to pull enemy units can be used to either relieve pressure from allies or set up enemies for concentrated attacks. Additionally, you’ll always want him initiating fights because of his ability to control crowds and cripple enemy champions. Thorn is best utilized on the frontlines because of his high survivability. It doesn’t help that he can only contribute his patented damage outputs when he’s in very close range of the enemy. What Rook users have to contend with, is his extremely slow movement speed and possibly the worst mobility out of any champion in the game. He also has abilities that can interrupt/debuff the opposing team. He can buff his attacks further for larger engagements. His playstyle relies on heavy combos that can control crowds efficiently when executed properly. In terms of raw damage, Rook is arguably up there with the champions who can inflict a massive amount of it. His poor damage output what prevents him from ascending into the higher tiers in this list. He has a whole arsenal of debuffs and disrupts that could easily throw you or your team off. Varesh is a pest when you don’t contain him early on in matches. That said, Shifu players will be happy to know that he also has several defensive counters that protect him when the going gets tough. He’s a straightforward melee champion who’s not that complicated to play because of his familiar style. His mobility is top-tier – utilizing immaterial form and quick strikes to position himself favorably against opponents. Under a skilled player, however, this almost always turns in Shifu’s favor. Shifu’s aggression is a double-edged sword. He can also transform into a fire elemental that ups his damage while not sacrificing any of that mobility. His skill set is diverse and useful in various situations.Īshka can do damage over time, AoE damage, or contain an area with his wall. He has a good range on his attacks, partnered with incredible mobility. Don’t worry though – an A-Tier champion could easily dominate as much as an S-Tier under the right hands. This itself is already a heavy task, never mind adding in her positioning and creature management to the mix.Įxcellent champions that have a few flaws that bar them from the top tier. Her entire playstyle revolves around linking units together to heal or deal damage. Poloma is a pure support unit that tries to balance defense and healing for her squad. She’s useful for taking out individual unguarded champions. Jade is an assassin character who pales in comparison to her contemporaries. She can also freeze enemies – adding a bit of tactical utility to her kit. She’s a straightforward champion who can join fights from a decent range. If Alysia had better damage output, she would be higher on this list. This arsenal is the good mix of power and versatility that you want in your DPS unit. Shen Rao has several abilities that deal damage and interrupt enemy units. Ascension and Dominion are great at enhancing his mobility in tight situations. Shen Rao is a solid DPS unit that also offers several utility options as a support unit. If the enemy forces pick her off alone (which happens more than you think), you’ll immediately be a unit down in team fights. She’ll go down in a few hits from other champions. She’s stuck in the bottom tier because of how extremely squishy she is. Taya is fun to use because of her ability to dart across the map, wreaking havoc with her boomerangs. They have minimal flaws, which makes playing them relatively safe for players of all skill levels. Currently, the best champions to use and master in the game. 2002), necessitating greater gender analysis of cassava production, processing and in particular commercialization to ensure new interventions are gender equitable (Forsythe et al. For example, as commercialization of cassava increases, men’s participation in production and processing increases (Nweke et al. As such, cassava is often defined as a “woman’s crop” (Forsythe et al. In particular women perform the majority of cassava processing in Nigeria (Curran et al. 2002), and provide much of the labor associated with cassava production. Women play a central role in Nigerian cassava production, processing and marketing (Enete et al. However, these roles vary by ethnic groups and regions (FAO 2011). In most parts of rural Nigeria, division of labor for agricultural production is gender-specific and varies by age (Mohammed and Abdulquadri 2012). Differential trait preferences also follow gender divisions of labor and market access, observed across multiple crops in sub-Saharan Africa (Christinck et al. Studies of farmers’ preferences for crop variety traits of food crops, many of which are economically important, show that such preferences are not uniform but vary in relation to the agronomic, technical, and socio-cultural context of the modes of production and processing (Smale et al. This joint small-scale farming and processing represents by far the largest cassava food product production in Nigeria (Forsythe et al. Most of these cassava food products are made by farmers themselves, who process and consume the crop (IITA 2012). Major cassava based food products consumed in Nigeria are gari, fufu and lafun. Cassava storage roots provide an efficient source of carbohydrate food energy, cultivated widely for its ability to withstand harsh environmental and agronomic conditions as well as to its utilization as raw material for many uses and food products (Akoroda 1995). Patterns of access to stem sources were determined more by region and religion than gender.Ĭassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a major staple crop in Nigeria, engaging over four million farmers in production and providing food for over 100 million persons (FAOSTAT 2016). Trait preference patterns differed significantly between the Southeast and Southwest, and showed differentiation based on gender. High yield, early maturity, and root size were most important traits across both regions, while traits women and men preferred followed gender roles: women prioritized product quality/cooking traits, while men placed higher priority on agronomic traits. Fifty-five variety names were recorded from the communities demonstrating high genetic diversity maintained by growers, especially in the Southeast. Women and men had significantly different patterns of cassava use in the Southwest. Men and women in eight communities in Southwest and Southeast Nigeria were consulted using mixed methods. This paper aims to inform breeding priority setting, by examining trait and varietal preferences of men and women cassava farmer/processors. This approach has been successful, but cassava adoption rates are less than expected, with room for improvement by integrating traits in demand by farmers and processors. Cassava breeding programs prioritize “common denominator” traits in setting breeding agendas, to impact the largest possible number of people through improved varieties. Nigeria is the world’s largest cassava producer, hosting a diverse array of cassava farmers and processors. |
