![]() ![]() Mac OS 8 Desktop, featuring Microsoft Internet Explorer as the internet browser Jobs had it renamed in order to take advantage of a legal loophole and stop third-party licensing to clone manufacturers. It was originally supposed to be called Mac OS 7.7. Shortly after Steve Jobs returned to Apple from his NeXT adventure, Apple released Mac OS 8. With Mac OS 7.6, Apple dropped the “System” designation as it was trying to drum up support for the Mac operating system on third-party Mac clones. AppleScript is part of today’s Automator and offers a way to automate operating system and app functions.Ībout this time, Apple started using PowerPC processors in the Mac line. It was a big improvement over earlier versions, offering more stability, virtual memory support, cooperative multitasking through MultiFinder, and the AppleScript scripting language. Of all of the original System releases, I remember System 7 as being the most long-lived. System 6 also brought support for the Motorola 68030 CPU and the 1.44MB SuperDrive floppy. That bootable diskette was a direct ancestor of the Disk Utility we still use today. One of these diskettes, “Disk Utilities 1”, came with Disk First Aid and HD SC Setup. For $49, users got three manuals and four diskettes. System 5 and 6Īpple began charging for operating system upgrades with System 5. ADB also worked with adapters to connect Macs to AppleTalk networks. It also supported Apple Desktop Bus, used for many years to connect keyboards, mice, and other devices. System 4.1 was notable in that it supported the Motorola 68020 CPU, expansion slots, and color display of the Macintosh II. System 3 brought 800K startup drives, SCSI for connectivity to scanners, printers, and storage, AppleShare (early networking and file sharing). For example, System 2 brought multiple folders and screenshots (Command – Shift – 3), while System 2.1 added support for the Apple Hard Disk 20 (that’s 20MB, not GB…). System 1 through System 4 (1987) offered a few enhancements along the way. Overlapping, resizable windows the Finder, folders, a mouse-controlled pointer, the Trash can, and the top menu bar anchored by the Apple icon. ![]() In the two years that the Lisa was on the market, it sold only 10,000 units.Īs crude as the System 1 desktop looks in the screenshot above, it introduced many concepts that still exist in macOS today. Apple had released the Lisa with a GUI in 1983, but it was ridiculously expensive ($9,995, equivalent to almost $26,000 in 2020 dollars), slow, and used unreliable floppy disks coupled with a 5 MB hard disk drive. It was the first popular consumer OS to use a graphical user interface. For those of us who were around at the time the first Mac was released, System 1 was a revolutionary operating system. On that day, twenty years ago, Apple introduced the next generation of the Mac operating system – Mac OS X 10.0 “Cheetah.” The introduction was no small matter, as it marked a change in how Macs work that remains up to this day with macOS 11 “Big Sur.” Let’s take a look at the history of Mac operating systems from 1984 until now, starting with the “Classic” operating system introduced in 1984 and ending with Big Sur.Īt the beginning (1984), there was System 1. ![]() March 24, 2001, was a banner day for Mac users. ![]()

![]() ![]() You will need to consistently eat less calories than you actually need over a period of weeks and possibly months while still performing progressive, intensive, thought-out and well structured training.Ī plan is paramount. ![]() ![]() Losing fat is a slow process, requiring real dedication. Cutting isn't something to do well for a few days unless you are already fairly lean (visible six pack). Long term, that does not work and only leads to eating disorders or the like.Ībove all, you also need to be consistent. Please cut calories sensibly as per the directions here and don’t starve yourself. Get this wrong and you’ll either be eating too much (so not actually cutting) or eating way too little which can have hugely negative consequences to your physique in terms of losing muscle, as well as your hormone levels, not to mention your mental health. The most important thing to get right when cutting, is your daily calorie intake. If you’re not sure what a cut is, have a read of this: What is Cutting?. If you want to lose some body fat so you can be more “toned” or “ripped” for the summer, someone somewhere has probably told you the you need to go on a “cut”. With years of experience within the fitness industry Sean has a wealth of knowledge and shares his views and opinions on the best way to cut for the Ibiza Challenge. To help us better understand the finer points of cutting, we have enlist the help of Maximuscle Ambassador Sean Lerwill. ![]() ![]() ![]() Weather today, Ventusky, Windy, Weather now, World weather, Weather radarġ0 day forecast weather for your area, including current weather conditions, temperature, precipitation, wind speed, wind gust, air pressure, thunderstorms, humidity, waves, snow cover, weather radar for every country and place, perfect for making plans for the weekend or any time and any place.

Its style is described by some as "Liberty" but is not Liberty or Art Nouveau in the French manner but may perhaps be described as "Neoclassical decadent". His house, initially called Gloriette, was eventually christened Villa Lysis (later sometimes referred to as Villa Fersen) in reference to Plato's Socratic dialogue Lysis discussing friendship (or, according to modern notions, homosexual love). He bought land at the top of a hill in the northeast of the island, close to where the Roman emperor Tiberius had built his Villa Jovis two millennia earlier. Benson, Alfred Bruce Douglas, Robert Baldwin Ross, Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust, Ada Negri, Friedrich Krupp, Norman Douglas, and Compton and Faith Mackenzie and attracted many others during Adelsward's stay. The island had already attracted other homosexual or bisexual visitors, such as Christian Wilhelm Allers, Somerset Maugham, E. His house, Villa Fersen, remains one of Capri's tourist attractions.Īfter his marriage plans were foiled, d'Adelswärd-Fersen remembered the island of Capri from his youth, and decided to build a house there. He became a "character" on the island in the inter-war years, featuring in novels by Compton MacKenzie and others. In 1903 a scandal involving school pupils made him persona non grata in the salons of Paris, and dashed his marriage plans after which he took up residence in Capri with his long-time lover, Nino Cesarini. His life forms the basis of a fictionalised biography by Roger Peyrefitte, L'Exilé de Capri. This edition is limited to 500 copies, bound in black silk with a tipped-in color image on the cover.īaron Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen (20 February 1880 – 5 November 1923) was a French novelist and poet. (For allegedly holding Black Masses at his residence in Paris, Fersen was charged with indecent behavior with minors, served a six-month prison sentence, was fined 50 francs and lost his civil rights for five years.) The work is an audacious mix of fact and fiction, including four characters that are alter egos of Fersen himself. The public outcry about his supposed Black Masses is also caricatured. The hero, Lord Lyllian, departs on a wild odyssey of sexual debauchery, is seduced by a character that seems awfully similar to Oscar Wilde, falls in love with girls and boys, and is finally killed by a boy. It is filled with outrageous descriptions of fin de siècle excesses, including Fersen’s own addiction to opium and adolescent boys. Published originally in 1905, this is perhaps his most important work, satirizing the scandal around himself in Paris, with touches of the Oscar Wilde affair thrown in for good measure. This is the first English translation of the eccentric Baron Fersen’s decadent gay novel Lord Lillian. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kim Richey/A Long Way Back: The Songs of Glimmer/Yep Roc/Folk Ryan Perry/High Risk, Low Reward/Ruf/Blues The No Ones/The Great Lost No Ones Album/YepRoc/Rock Naughty Professor/Everyday Shredder/Naughty Professor/Jazz Patty Larkin/Bird in a Cage/Road Narrows/Folk Harold Mabern/Mabern Plays Mabern/Smoke Sessions/Jazz Gabrielle Louise/The Unending Alteration of the Human Heart/Gabrielle Louise/Folk Jose James/No Beginning No End 2/Rainbow Blonde/Soul-R&B Sierra Hull/25 Trips/Rounder/Bluegrass-Folkįritz Huthinson/Wide Wide Acres/Center Cut/Rock-Folk Izo Fitzroy/How the Mighty Fall/Jalapeno/Funk-Soul-R&Bįunky Chemist/Groove Generator/Citizen/Funk-Soul-R&BĪngelica Garcia/Cha Cha Palace/Spacebomb/Rockįireside Collective/Elements/Mountain Home/Bluegrass Tre Burt/Caught It from the Rye/Oh Boy/FolkĬircles Around the Sun/Circles Around the Sun/Circles Around the Sun/Rock John Blues Boyd/”What My Eyes Have Seen”/Gulf Coast/Blues NEW VINYL DONATIONS: B.B.King/Blues on Top of Blues, Lightnin’ Hopkins/Lightnin’, Jimmy Reed/Wailin’ the Blues, John Mayall/Looking Back, The Best of Misisissippi John Hurt.īig Gigantic/Free Your Mind/Counter/Electronic ![]() ĪND DON'T FORGET: Cat Clyde/Ivory Castanets.

In its 8.5/10 review, IGN wrote, " NBA 2K19's rock-solid gameplay and strong sense of style make it the best of the series, but its style is slightly cramped by microtransactions." Kotaku also criticized the game for pervasive microtransaction demands throughout the game on top of the initial premium price. But there's a lot of fun to be had in NBA 2K19 despite its flaws, especially if you have a strong love for the sport.

Most users are going to utilize their mind-mapping tools. Mind MapsĪyoa is a mind-mapping tool first and foremost. You can adjust each segment as necessary. It provides a structure to the task and helps you stay oriented towards your main goal. When it comes to brainstorming and sharing ideas, this sort of visualization can be beneficial. These allow you to structure your ideas a bit like a pie-chart. The radial maps are particularly special, though. You can basically do whatever you want with these mind maps. There are tons of different mind-mapping options and tools. Perhaps the most popular and important feature Ayoa features are its mind-mapping software. However, the variety of features does allow you to pick and choose which parts you need easily. However, I’d guess that most users don’t use all of the features. Key FeaturesĬompared to other software on the market, Ayoa has a lot of features – and they keep adding more all the time. However, they offer many different “tiers” for you to choose from, which slowly get more expensive. They do offer a free trial to help you decide if their software is right for you, though.Ĭurrently, subscriptions cost about $12 a month of the lowest-paid option. However, if you want to use their most powerful features, you’ll need to pay. Miro, Trello, and Clickup are all popular competitors. The apps are available for both Android and iOS. This software also includes apps, allowing you to work from your phone. While a nice-looking interface isn’t essential, it does make the interface a bit nicer to use! Compared to other software, this company tries to make the user interface beautiful and easy to manage. While it does have many tools, the software tries hard not to make the tools overwhelming.Īyoa also has a level of beauty to it.

Ayoa is a solely online tool, which allows for collaboration between different team members. This software was created to replace other task management tools on the market.

However, it also has a range of other features and collaboration software that may be useful.Īyoa is owned by Opengenius and was initially referred to as iMindMap. Most people who use this tool do so primarily because of the mind-mapping capabilities. What Is Ayoa?Īyoa is a mind-mapping tool, first-and-foremost. However, by extensively testing all their different tools, I did get a pretty good idea of what the software is capable of. With that said, Ayoa is highly customizable, so it is nearly impossible to test out all potential uses and layouts. However, for the sake of this review, I did use all of their tools for a variety of purposes.
