No EC titles survived the purge except Mad, which escaped the Comics Code by expanding its trim size to become a “magazine”-and this new, adaptable hybrid format was the key to its longevity. Gaines, on a promotional tour in the early nineteen-seventies, when the magazine was most overtly political. The problems are economic and social, and they are complex.” His testimony was not persuasive, and the hearings resulted in EC and other comic publishers acquiescing to self-censorship, necessitating the creation of a Comics Code Authority, which would henceforth review every issue of every title before granting permission to display a “Seal of Approval,” without which the comics could not be sold. are contributing factors to many children’s maladjustment.” Gaines was called to testify, and disputed the arguments in Wertham’s book, insisting that “delinquency is the product of the real environment in which the child lives and not of the fiction he reads. . . . In the spring of 1954, the United States Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency held hearings in New York City on the menace of comics, largely prompted by the notoriety of the psychiatrist Fredric Wertham’s best-selling book “ Seduction of the Innocent,” which contended that “chronic stimulation, temptation and seduction by comic books . . . Readers loved Mad’s exuberantly lowbrow tone: an early, anonymous letter declared, “What you publish is cheap, miserable trash! Fortunately, I also am cheap miserable trash!” The June, 1954, cover was styled like a literary journal, so that readers “ashamed to read this comic-book in subways and like that” could make “people think you are reading high-class intellectual stuff instead of miserable junk.” The first Mad story was a frenzied, ridiculous haunted-house tale called “ Hoohah!” Later issues branched into satire of television, movies, and literature, all done by Kurtzman in the same frantic, punning style (“Dragged Net!” “Flesh Garden!” “Shermlock Shomes!”). ![]() Kurtzman’s “ Tales Calculated to Drive You MAD” (subtitled “Humor in a Jugular Vein”) began as a parody of other EC titles, using the same artists-Jack Davis, Will Elder, Wally Wood, John Severin-to spoof their own over-the-top horror vignettes. ![]() Gaines, the publisher of EC Comics, a New York imprint responsible for the bloody and garish “ Tales From the Crypt” and other successful horror, war, and crime titles, invited the staff contributor Harvey Kurtzman to launch a humor title. The California painter and critic Manny Farber extolled “termite art” as occurring “where the spotlight of culture is nowhere in evidence, so that the craftsman can be ornery, wasteful, stubbornly self-involved, doing go-for-broke art and not caring what comes of it.” That need for art to be ugly, to go where it is not wanted, burrowing destructive channels into sacrosanct carpentry, was essential to the creation of Mad magazine, which announced this month that it is ceasing publication. Photograph from The Advertising Archives / Alamy Neuman’s misaligned features and insouciant grin graced nearly every cover of Mad magazine, which is ceasing publication after sixty-seven years. ![]() Other benefits include interfacing of other software applications such as Microsoft One Drive or DropBox. Opmerkingen: The benefits of utilizing Adobe Acrobat Reader DC application include being able to operate across hardware such as Windows 10 or Mac Sierra. With Acrobat being the best PDF software on the market, I sort of see the cost-factor as something that's practically inevitable. The only benefit to paying for an annual license is that you never have to worry about the software being outdated or bug-ridden. Previously, you could just buy the software outright. Adobe now gives you access to the software by charging a flat monthly or annual rate for a 1-year license. I have the professional version of Acrobat, so it does get a bit pricey. I can remove text/images, combine documents, sign pages, etc. Another one of my favorite things is the ability to edit any PDF. ![]() I scan probably 2,000 pages of documents every month, so this definitely comes in handy when I want to go back later and find a particular document by searching for a couple keywords or particular content. I use my desktop scanner to scan in documents and the OCR function is able to accurately convert the document into readable, searchable, and editable text. My absolute most favorite thing about Adobe Acrobat is the OCR scan function. I use it for everything from printing thermal shipping labels, editing PDFs, scanning documents and converting to OCR, and signing documents. I've tried other PDF software, but they no where near compare to Acrobat in terms of functionality nor quality. There are many uses for the software and it's hands down the best on the market. Okular will let you read PDFs, but it’s not user-friendly, and Skim, which is free, lets you carry out extensive note-taking and annotation of PDFs, but isn’t strong on options like sharing and can never be upgraded or extended in the way Reader can.Opmerkingen: I have been using Acrobat for years now. ![]() Foxit offers PhantomPDF it has many of the same features as Adobe Reader (and many extra) but isn’t free. There are plenty of alternatives to Adobe Reader, although not as many as you’ll find for Windows and none of which are quite as complete.

The app’s settings are surprisingly complex. The interface is attractive and easy to find your way around, and carrying out any of the tasks offered by the app is simple and intuitive. Using Adobe Reader is a pleasant experience. Most of the main editing functions are represented by little icons in the top bar and the main app features (sharing, commenting, etc) are in the side. If you’ve used other Adobe products, you’ll find this familiar and easy to get to grips with. When you open a PDF in Adobe Reader, most of the functions you’ll need will be in the top or sidebars. There are also a number of add-on features, so you can expand the functionality of Reader without moving all the way up to Pro. The Adobe Reader interface will also offer you the ability to edit and create PDFs, but when you click on the button, you’ll be brought to the Adobe website where you can purchase Acrobat Pro, the granddaddy of PDF apps. It also offers a few additional features, like the ability to share your PDF with a variety of 3rd party apps, to hook up with storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive (making it easier to manage large numbers of PDFs), and to stamp, annotate, and comment on PDFs you’ve imported. Remember, Adobe Reader for Mac will only allow you to read, annotate, and print PDFs. Even so, its age doesn’t seem to have done it any harm, as it looks and acts like an app that’s spent much less time hanging around on people’s computers.

I have been in the music recording industry for a long time, and when I first got into it, I standardized on the Cubase/Nuendo software platform for some of the same reasons that you are considering Photoline. I know a lot of the PS plugins will work with PSP and other programs, but in the end, it was an easy decision for me. Even though I considered other programs (and Photoline seems like a fine program), in the end, I realized that I wanted to be 100% in the mainstream. I am sure that there are other comparable programs from a feature perspective, and since PS if the main target, a lot of them are going to try to do PS a "one better" approach when it comes to some of the specs (the number of layers, for example) since that is the only way they differentiate their product and entice new users. It is the overwhelming industry standard, and for me, that makes it easier to learn and to find resources and plugins that will help me improve my PP skills. One of the reasons that I recently went with PS CS5 over upgrading my current PSPX3 is that PS is so ubiquitous that you can find support, books, tutorials and tons of help at every turn. It definitely should be considered as an alternative if Adobe's new upgrade program becomes to onerous. It is a mature and efficient program that speaks well of the two programmer brothers. The following website has a nice list of most of the features availableĪll things considered it is definitely an affordable and useful program for the enthusiast and probably professional photographer/ retoucher. I've only had the program for a couple of days, and tested it for a few hours, so far the only surprises have been of the pleasant nature. You can use the controls from each colorspace to your advantage, without it being a 3 to 5 five step back and forth procedure. I might want to color correct in RBG, then use Lab for a sharpening or Shadow/Highlight layer. I enjoy the ability to edit as I see fit from layer to layer. ![]() ![]() In photoshop you have 15 adjustment layers available, Photoline has 41. In Photoline most of the features have their own preset procedures, in other words you can have a dozen presets in the sharpening layer, a dozen in the white point layer etc. Presets are are a wonderful time saver, but the lists get terribly long and unwieldy in the Adobe product. In photoshop many of the preview windows are postage stamp sized, photoline offers you the ability to change the size of the preview window to a useful size, plus the preview wndow offers a before and after view of your edits in realtime. Your hand never leaves the mouse.Īnother feature that I find pleasant and useful, is the preview window. In photoline you click the command key and move your mouse to change the size. Most of the program features are as well implemented (or better) as Photoshop.įor instance to change a brush size in Photoshop, without going to the menu bar, one must depress two keys.

I would have loved to have seen some of the more out there squads from other add-ons too.ĭue to reasons that are likely related to licensing issues with the personalities involved, the George Romero “Call of the Dead” and “Mob of the Dead” are omitted, along with several others like “Green Run,” “Nuketown Zombies,” “Five, Die Rise,” and “Buried” - and the entire Exo Zombies catalog from Advanced Warfare (“Outbreak,” “Infection,” “Carrier, Descent”). Playing as them yet again, even in younger form with some nuanced quirks in Origins, is a bit too much. The original Second World War era cast has its charms, but only in short bursts. I felt this way both at the time of its release, and during my testing with Zombies Chronicles, and it wasn’t necessarily related to the subseries’ constant attempts to one-up itself. ![]() Moon is the exact same way, but you might hit a wall with “Origins,” one of the most complicated levels in the DLC (which is good or bad depending on your dedication). While said adventures are finicky, and require a lot of guesswork (or meticulous studying with printed Wikipedia pages in hand), they’re still just as satisfying to pull off with a group. The arenas get bigger, the miniature quests and nods start leaking in, and by the time you hit “Ascension” and “Shangri-La,” it gets even more tense as you start to complete quests on top of the ever-present stress of merely surviving. By the time the fourth map, Kino Der Toten rolls around, the Zombies mode starts to show some grit.

The wearing of the keffiyeh often comes with criticism from various political factions in the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, the keffiyeh first gained popularity among activists supporting the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel. The black and white chequered keffiyeh has become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, dating back to the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. Symbol of Palestinian solidarity Ī loom at work making a traditional Palestinian keffiyeh in the Hirbawi factory, Hebron, West Bank Later, red and white keffiyehs were adopted by Palestinian Marxists, such as the PFLP. Traditional black and white keffiyehs became associated with Fatah. The colors of the stitching in a keffiyeh are also vaguely associated with Palestinians' political sympathies. This was unusual, as the keffiyeh is associated with Arab masculinity, and many believe this to be something of a fashion statement by Khaled, denoting her equality with men in the Palestinian armed struggle. These photos often included Khaled wearing a keffiyeh in the style of a Muslim woman's hijab, wrapped around the head and shoulders. Several photographs of Khaled circulated in the Western newspapers after the hijacking of TWA Flight 840 and the Dawson's Field hijackings. This way of wearing the keffiyeh became a symbol of Arafat as a person and political leader, and it has not been imitated by other Palestinian leaders.Īnother Palestinian figure associated with the keffiyeh is Leila Khaled, a female member of the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Early on, he had made it his personal trademark to drape the scarf over his right shoulder only, arranging it in the rough shape of a triangle, to resemble the outlines of historic Palestine. He also wore a similarly patterned piece of cloth in the neckline of his military fatigues. Arafat would wear his keffiyeh in a semi-traditional way, wrapped around his head via an agal. The black-and-white fishnet pattern keffiyeh would later become Arafat's iconic symbol, and he would rarely be seen without it only occasionally would he wear a military cap, or, in colder climates, a Russian-style ushanka hat. Its prominence increased during the 1960s with the beginning of the Palestinian resistance movement and its adoption by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Traditionally worn by Palestinian farmers, the keffiyeh became worn by Palestinian men of any rank and became a symbol of Palestinian nationalism during the Arab Revolt of the 1930s. Plus, it’s reversible, allowing you to choose the color.Yasser Arafat wearing his iconic fishnet pattern keffiyeh in 2001 Its two-layer protectors are heavy-duty and guarantee frizz-free mornings.
