![]() ![]() This isn’t always the case for it to be a scam but often time it is. RED FLAG 2: They don’t follow you, or haven’t liked any of your posts It typically isn’t a last-minute request sort of thing based on the time it takes to create it alone, so if someone is really interested in your work they can take the time to do some research on you. You could argue that they are just looking for an immediate answer or are lazy, but also no one needs commissioned art immediately. Secondly, If the artist has a link in their bio to their website, or they had looked at your previous posts at all they would see whether or not you have done commission work before. I bet even at a fast food restaurant you probably at least would say hi to the person taking your order, right? Artists are not a McDonald’s drive-thru where you can just roll up in our DMs and ask for a McPainting with cheese. That said sometimes they do attempt to at least say hello in the initial message but with no additional context as to why they are messaging you.įirst of all, it doesn’t take much to say hello to someone. Simply opening with “do you do commissions” (sometimes with or without the question mark) is a great way for me to ignore someone’s message entirely. That’s understandable when you’re talking to someone who you know well or family, but super inappropriate when you are messaging someone you don’t know for the first time. Text message culture has made a lot of us lazy when it comes to messaging and using full sentences. RED FLAG 1: They open their message with no formal greeting or bad grammar. Here are a few common ones to look out for when you receive a message request of this type. There are many red flags when it comes to whether a request of this type is legit or not. This will help you have a place to direct people who are legitimately interested in your work and weed out the ones who are not. I am however going to discuss with you some best practices you should have set up if you are planning to take commission work. I won’t get into all of the ins and outs of taking commissions in this post because that is a much more dense topic than we have time for here. ![]()

W C Fieldsįinishing this review on the first of january because i've been busy. There's no point in being a damn fool about it. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes, and adversity is not without comforts and hopes. There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea. The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them. Dale Carnegieĭon't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep. If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. The first is so basic I'm almost embarrassed to say it: Spend less than you earn. You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be. The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. AristotleĪ vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world. Spend all you have before you die do not outlive yourself. Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned to live. The greatest mistake a man can ever make is to be afraid of making one. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. KennedyĪ life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. ![]() When written in Chinese the word "crisis" is composed of two characters - one represents danger and the other represents opportunity. Benjamin DisraeliĪdversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant. Work is good provided you do not forget to live. The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it. I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity. Frank HubbardĬatch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. The safe way to double your money is to fold it in over once and put it in your pocket. I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people. He who thinks he is raising a mound may only in reality be digging a pit. 'Better bread with water than cake with trouble' Russian Proverbįinished my reading challenge with 2 days left to spare 'An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today' Laurence J. 'It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job it's a depression when you lose your own' Harry S. 'A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain' Mark Twain Funny, wise and stirring - it is a perfect source of strength to get us all through the coming months. The book is packed full of similarly motivational and inspirational quotes, proverbs, mantras and wry truths to help us through the recession, from such wits as Churchill, Disraeli and George Bernard Shaw. Gordon Brown had one up in 10 Downing Street and James May wears a Keep Calm T-shirt on the telly - it is suddenly everywhere. Though it never saw the light of day in 1939 (it was only supposed to go up if Britain was invaded), it has suddenly struck a chord in our current difficult times, now we are in need of a stiff upper lip and optimistic energy once again. Keep Calm and Carry On was a World War 2 government poster discovered in a dusty box nine years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() simple import of multiple image file format, including manufacturer’s formats and ImageJ “large TIFFs”.Here is my subjective take on what an ideal SMLM software could do (with ? on things I’m not sure would really be needed): I don’t know if this would be a good idea to use these or pieces of these to make something new, or if it’s better to start fresh, using these as inspiration and reference. There are existing SMLM software in python: PyME ( ) and Picasso ( GitHub - jungmannlab/picasso: A collection of tools for painting super-resolution images), and in addition Napari ( ) is getting a lot of traction for visualization. I also agree that Python seems the way to go when you look at the momentum (even if it saddens me a bit as a long-time ImageJ/Fiji user). I agree that SMAP ( GitHub - jries/SMAP) is a great platform that integrates many cutting-edge developments in SMLM processing. Looks like the field is ripe for more to happen. Great to see the replies so far and people coming chiming in from all over the community. However, I think it would only be worth it if we commit to it fully and put sufficient resources, so that it can match SMAP in terms of performance, functionality and ease of integrating new algorithms. The algorithms we implemented in SMAP and our experience in having a large integrated analysis platform would for sure be useful in this effort. I would have funding for this and if I find the right person and there is community support, I could imagine leading this effort. I think Napari is a good platform, as through the CZI funding it got quite some momentum and is actively developed, and it provides a framework that makes GUIs, plugins, data and image handling and rendering much simpler. I am a bit torn between just interfacing this new code from SMAP and otherwise use a platform that works very well for us and re-implementing the main functionality of SMAP in Python/Napari. DECODE and exciting projects still in development). Newer projects in the lab however use Python (e.g. In my own group we developed SMAP (MATLAB based), which after more than 10 years of development has a lot of functionality, it fast enough, and as it is used quite a lot by us most of the regularly used plugins are also well tested. This started with an effort to implement a powerful 3D viewer for SMLM data for Napari, Martin Weigert is working on this. Indeed, I have been discussing with people in the field to develop a Python-based SMLM analysis software using Napari as a platform. Thanks J-K for letting me know about this thread. Let me know what you think and hopefully we can get the ball rolling! I am not a coder but as a long-time SMLM user, I have experience with almost all these and would be happy to assist by sharing knowledge, providing test data and testing software. Some participants to the thread that are also present here: - hopefully others will join. Other “bricks” are GPU-accelerated fitting libraries (GPUfit, Splinefit), deep-learning based localization (DeepSTORM, DECODE), visualization solutions (Napari, VR like vLUME and Genuage). It mentions a handful of SMLM software that are in active development these days such as SMAP, Picasso, or PyME. There are already several insight in the Twitter thread linked above. How would this effort be best directed? What would be the best platform (Python, ImageJ/Fiji, something else?) What are the existing, modern bricks that could be used for that? I think at this point it would be good to think about what form an effort toward “ThunderSTORM 2.0” could be. Since 2017, there were a lot of innovation in all aspects of SMLM processing: PSF fitting (c-spline, in-situ retrieval), localization of blinking events (phasor, GPU-accelerated MLE and c-spline fitting, deep-learning based localization inference), new and optimized acquisition schemes (spectral demixing, salvaged fluorescence), quality assessment and validation of the fitted events and obtained image, assessment of the image resolution (FRC, FSC, decorrelation, NeNa)… Some of these are now validated and used by several labs, and might be very useful for the broader community. Some questions that are worth asking at this point are: what makes ThunderSTORM so successful and broadly used, even 5 years after the last commit? Is it because it’s ImageJ-based? Is it the combination of functions that it offers? Right now, the dominant tool for that is ThunderSTORM ( GitHub - zitmen/thunderstorm: ThunderSTORM: a comprehensive ImageJ plugin for SMLM data analysis and super-resolution imaging), an lmageJ plugin that hasn’t been updated (except additions of a phasor localization algorithm) since 2017. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We may share this information with our vendor to improve our services and for our vendor's development of new products, features, and technologies that benefit our users, our vendor, and our vendor's other customers.

At least in the early stages of the game anyway, as later on enemies will fire upon the player as soon as they enter onto the screen meaning if the players reactions aren’t on point at all times you can quickly find yourself a crumpled blown up mess at the bottom of the screen – and a life down in next to no time with only two left remaining. Throughout the game the enemies will move into view from both sides of the screen in perfectly choreographed ovals before moving into a military style formation from the top from where the main attack starts. The player controls a little spaceship of their own which can move left or right all along the bottom of the screen. The way you earn these points are by annihilating as many bug looking spaceships before they inevitably try to destroy you. The sole objective of the game is to earn as many points as physically possible, and to beat the current high scorer on the leader board. Developed by Namco in 1985, Galaga is a direct sequel to Galaxian, released in 1979 and was created as a direct competitor to the highly successful and well known Space Invaders. While this may not sound as exciting as the ever expanding open-world design found in many AAA titles today, back in the 80s when Galaga was released, this game design created one of the most successful shooters to this very day. ![]() Fixed shooters restrict the player to a single axis of motion, enemies attack from one direction all on one plane. Shooters are categorized by viewpoint and movement in particular, as well as design elements.
