![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The design above isn’t quite finished, but it’s nearly there. Making sure the corners all worked out and the design matched up took a tiny bit of fiddling, but all in all, I was able to produce the whole design in MacStitch in a short time, using mostly cut and paste and a little bit of fiddling. Then I just cut and pasted the elements to fill in the whole design on the corner. Since I couldn’t see exactly what was at the corner of the outermost outline, I worked out my own version. ![]() Then I worked out the trim around the corner. Using the cut and paste feature, I created the corner. I can chart text, using whatever fonts I have on my computer, and do all kinds of other charty stuff. And I can add beads, French knots, backstitches, half and quarter cross stitches, and so forth to my charts, too. I can also coordinate block colors with colors of thread from many major thread brands. In MacStitch, I work in color blocks, but before I print a design or export it as a PDF, I can opt for color blocks or symbols or both. In looking at the Ukrainian cloth, I drew up this element, which is the main motif of the design. But what I have done in MacStitch has been very easy to do. Right off the bat, I should tell you that I don’t do a lot of counted design work. The current version for both of them is 2012, but I haven’t upgraded yet, so I’m still using 2011. MacStitch is written to be used on a Mac, but if you don’t work on a Mac, you can always look at their PC version, which is called WinStitch. So, for working out any patterns that involve counted embroidery techniques, I use MacStitch 2011 by Ursa Software. If you’re looking for this type of software, I suggest you shop around, read reviews, download demo versions and try them out, compare prices and features, and then make your own informed decision. You may know of other good cross stitch software that you might want to recommend, and that’s fine. There’s no affiliation here – I’m simply passing on information about a product that I use that I’m happy with. So that question prompted today’s article. I received an e-mail from a reader, and this is what she asked: I LOVE the design on the Ukrainian cloth you posted today and I want to stitch it sooooo bad! Beside drawing it out on graph paper, how could I make the pattern for it? Do you use software for that, or do you draw it on graph paper? Do you know if it’s easy to use that kind of software? Any suggestions are appreciated! On Sunday, I posted a photo of some really pretty Pysanky Easter eggs that were resting on a beautiful Ukrainian embroidered cloth. I use software to create filet crochet patterns for my mom, to work out monogram placement, to sketch up blackwork designs, to work out drawn thread edges or Hardanger ideas, or to work out patterns that I find on a vintage linens or on old samplers or what-have-you. The major reason for me is the convenience of being able to work out a stitch chart in an easy-to-use program and print it in a clean format ready for use. There are lots of reasons to own a software program that can help you create or design charted images for counted cross stitch or any other counted technique. ![]()

Sometimes progressing looks like taking a few steps back and “downgrading” in a superficial way to accomplish a goal that will propel you further much more in the long run. Progressing doesn’t always look glamorous. It is not anyone else’s business how I, or anybody else, chooses to express themselves, interact with others, and create a unique and strong sense of being. They are rarely overachievers with complex personalities but followers of larger hive groups that dictate their thoughts and actions.Īs someone who has always thrived being an individual, I will no longer allow others to impose on me any sort of societal or personal expectation I did not choose for myself beforehand. I’ve learned to find the people who obsessed over gender differences to generally lack in the fields of intelligence, empathy, and overall sophistication. Not only does coming back to those rigid systems restrict us as individuals, but they also cause division between genders because they position us as entirely different beings based on a few intrinsic qualities if we differ in gender, while also generalizing us based on the same qualities if we share a gender. This is what I’ve come to learn from the new uptick in trad-feminity and hyper-masculine content on social media. Strict gender codes not only limit us but actively harm us. to put it bluntly what most of these women are teaching is how to be a heaux and they’re not even doing a good job of teaching that.Īs someone who has been extremely critical of the online feminist movement, this is a post I can get behind. i honestly think that women NEED to learn why you should mainly (or only) have relationships with men that can provide, how you can level up your look, etc.īut that’s not femininity. how to look like a stereotypical version of western society’s ideal version of femininity (which really just serves the patriarchy but i digress).Īnd there’s nothing wrong with teaching any of that (except for the last one). how to recreate a “1950s household”, how to become a housewife. It is the quintessential “i brought you in and i will take you out.”īut what most of these women are teaching is how to be a trophy wife. It’s fluffy kittens and also the women that run with wolves. it is black.įemininity is more than just love and light. ![]() ![]() The divine feminine was here before western civilization rose and it will be here long after western civilization has fallen.įemininity is more than just pink. How to be a western, upperclass white woman.Īnd if that’s the look or mold that you’re going for, that’s fine.įemininity is not ruffle skirts, or long flowing dresses or liking the color pink.ĭon’t get me wrong, i love ruffle skirts, long flowing dresses and rose gold is my favorite color. and you know who they think is the epitome of a feminine woman? a western, upperclass white woman. Most of these women are selling a version of femininity that fits what they think a feminine woman is. ![]() so when women began to pop up on social media discussing femininity and divine femininity, i got excited.īecause like most movements, it got hijacked by people that don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about, folks trying to make a quick buck, people that had hidden agendas and by folks that don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. this planet desperately needs a resurgence of the divine feminine because our current world and society is under assault by toxic lower masculine energy (which explains why this world and our society is currently in the shape that it’s in). When this…”movement” first started, it had so much promise. ![]() ![]() ![]() This open-source app provides the same experience as YouTube but comes completely ad-free. If you’re using a FireStick and don’t feel like going to a browser each time you want to watch YouTube, there’s an option to install an app known as YouTube Vanced. This will prevent most ads when you watch YouTube, similarly to Adblock Plus. We’d advise using Total AdBlock alongside your Firefox browser for those using Android devices.

Social change is slow and hard, and krogan tend to be warlike to begin with, so they naturally turned to war and violent expansion in order to support their population growth. 2) The alien will give a short speech followed by a question. ![]() It is recommended to have a free cargo slot (or a slot already containing Omega) before beginning an encounter, otherwise this will be wasted. ![]() Instead, they suddenly got massive improvements in life span and child mortality. 1) The alien donates 1 unit of Omega to the player and then ends the encounter. However, the uplift meant that there wasn't time for krogan society to adapt naturally. And once krogan society learned to stabilize their birthrate on their own, they'd be able to handle getting access to space travel without declaring war on everyone. In addition, the process would have been slow enough that social change could have actually kept up with improvements in tech. That would have forced the krogan society to evolve ways to limit population growth, because their only other option wiuld be to starve. Advancing tech would have significantly increased lifespans and reduced child mortality long before they possessed the tech to leave tuchanka. If it wasn't for the council uplifting them, that wouldn't have been an issue. Their birthrate was too high and their child mortality rate was too low, so the had to expand aggressively or starve. AFAIK, the underlying issue with the krogan was overpopulation. Yup, this was 100% caused by the council. but thats only if Either Wrex or Eve are alive.īecause if Wreav is the one in charge the Galaxy is fucked. Now it's still a horrible thing and I would definitely agree it needs to end. As he said, it readjusts their birthrate for a less hostile environment, keeping their population undercontrol. The funny thing is that as Mordin mentions, the Genophage actually wouldn't kill the Krogan if not for their overtly violent nature. It was only after the Genophage was deployed that the council began to turn things around and actually push the Krogan back. Hell, even with the Turians the council was LOSING, that's how bad it got. They were launching asteroids at planets to take out enemies, destroying ecosystems and slaughering billions. Conquering planets and slaughtering everyone in their way in a blood rage. 1.4k years is long enough to at least give the Krogan another chance.īut looking into the Rebellions themselves, you know, the thing that led to it being deployed, I realized it was 100% the right call at the time. And I totally agree that it needs to end. So, we all know the genophage, that horrible sterility plague that are slowly killing the Krogan. I feel like at this point I'm gonna be the controversial take guy. ![]() ![]() Additionally, it is simple to do the five-way analysis that you can in a multidimensional setup space. Two major advantages it offers are the wealth of functionalities that it provides and its high level of accessibility.Īn Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at a university writes, "The most valuable feature of IBM SPSS Statistics is all the functionality it provides. IBM SPSS Statistics is a highly effective solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. This enables them to add layers of security that would not necessarily be present if the data was stored in the cloud. SPSS Statistics has the ability to securely store data on a user’s computer. These visualizations can be formatted in many different ways depending on what the user needs. Analysts that employ SPSS Statistics gain access to tools that empower them to create and export data visualizations. Among the other components of this interface is a drag-and-drop feature that makes analysis and management possible for anyone who wants to use it. SPSS Statistics enables users to deploy an intuitive interface that makes the process of system management simple. Tasks like calculation or data gathering can be delegated to the system while more conceptual tasks like data analysis are given to an organization’s analysts to handle. SPSS Statistics makes it simple for users to automate basic tasks that they might otherwise devote too much time worrying about. It enables users to utilize a variety of integrations that make it easy for users to add features that they might feel they are missing. SPSS Statistics is designed to be both a comprehensive and highly flexible analytics solution. ![]() Its command language is so straightforward that it does not require users to undergo special training before they use it. The solution is designed so that analysts who do not know how to code can easily make full use of the various tools and capabilities that SPSS Statistics has to offer. SPSS Statistics enables users to simply and intuitively take control of their statistical needs. Some of the ways that organizations can benefit by choosing to deploy IBM SPSS Statistics include: SPSS Statistics allows users to leverage machine learning algorithms so that they can mine and analyze data in the most effective way possible. It is designed so that it can be effectively utilized by organizations across a wide range of fields. The software is identical.IBM SPSS Statistics is a powerful data mining solution that is designed to aid business leaders in making important business decisions. Q: What is the difference between the student and departmental version of SPSS?Ī: The price is $90 for students and $105 for departments, faculty, and staff.
