While this conventional procedure might be fully automated, a direct surface sampling, ionization, and analysis method by mass spectrometry of such thin tissue sections, including the same tissues used for WBA study, would save time and other resources by shortening the sampling and extraction steps of a quick first pass look for drug and metabolite distributions.Ĭurrently, the most widely used technique for molecular identification of drug related materials directly from animal thin tissue sections is matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). (3-5) While this technique continues to mature, some lingering limitations are apparent. First, MALDI-MS requires the careful coating of the tissue with a matrix compound prior to the MS analysis. (4) This may be because phase II metabolites, like glucuronides and glutathione conjugates, are relatively fragile and do not survive the laser desorption/ionization process intact.Īlso second, most MALDI-MS analyses report detection of parent drug and some phase I metabolites, but apparently only rarely are phase II metabolites reported. Newer atmospheric pressure surface sampling/ionization techniques, (6-8) like desorption electrospray ionization (DESI)-MS, (9) have also been demonstrated for determining drug related materials in thin tissue sections. (10) This technique does not require a matrix coating, but initial reports from the analysis of tissue from drug dosed animals indicate that overall sensitivity may need improvement and detection of glucuronides known to be present in the tissue have so far been unsuccessful.

For starters, make sure you have the right recognition language selected. I can’t recognize a business card! What am I doing wrong? You can scan the flip side of the card, and all printed text will be recognized and saved as a comment to the business card, along with the date and time it was scanned. What do I do if someone gives me a double-sided business card? Ok, that makes sense, let’s move on to Optical Character Recognition (OCR). We are constantly monitoring requests for languages that we get through technical support and other channels. We generally initiate the development of a new library after we receive several thousand requests for a specific language. Before embarking on such a task, we need to see that there is enough demand for the language to be sure that we can recoup the development costs. Is adding just a couple of new languages really a problem?Ĭreating a language library for BCR takes hundreds of hours. While our other apps such as FineScanner support 193 languages, BCR is only available with this custom library support for 26 languages at this time. It contains libraries that allow it to determine that New York is a city, Jacob is a name, and manager is a position and does this for every supported language. Unlike FineScanner and TextGrabber, which produce regular text for the most part, BCR has to match captured data to a variety of different fields in contact forms. Why does Business Card Reader have fewer languages than your other apps? It will help you with the first setup for business card recognition. If you’re new to BCR and don’t know where to start, see this manual for iOS, and this manual for Andriod. What’s more, BCR iOS allows sharing contacts via QR-codes – contactless and safely. Imagine finding yourself out of business cards when talking to someone, just scan their card, and you will instantly be able to send them a short thank-you message with a digital version of your card using BCR iOS. Unlike their paper counterparts, digital business cards don’t get lost, crumpled or damaged: even if you break or lose your device, the sync feature will let you restore all your contacts. Captured business cards can be grouped by tags, so if you attend a conference (when that's possible again), you can make a tag for all the contacts you gained at the event. Business Card Reader saves you the hassle of carrying around dozens of little bits of paper and typing in contacts by hand, by recognizing contact data and saving contacts to Cardholder or your smartphone’s Contacts app. It’s available for iOS, Android and also has a web version to use on a PC. Do I really need this app now?īusiness Card Reader is a tool for scanning business cards and managing contacts. To make your work with business cards and contacts easier, learn more about ABBYY Business Card Reader (BCR) and what it can do. Even so, not much has changed – paper business cards are still widely used to exchange contact information. In 2008, we launched the first Business Card Reader, which ran on the then-popular Symbian operating system. The keys themselves have a relatively light, synthy feel. The faders have a similar feel and are now accompanied by RGB buttons which will no doubt make themselves useful. The knobs are upright, cylindrical, feel slightly rubberised to the touch, and are taller and much more solid than the ones on the Launchkey Mini. The pads are nicely set just that little bit lower and all the other buttons follow the style and height. The look is cemented by the replacement of the red three-digit display with a cool blue-backed LCD with two rows of 16 characters. It's still made of plastic but doesn't seem as clunky as many 61-keyed MIDI controllers can feel. The hardware has a poise to it that raises both a smile and your expectations. I wonder how much customer feedback went into agonising over that decision? Pads are now over on the left with faders in the middle, just off-centre, and only the transport controls on the right. It's pleasingly compact for a 61-note controller at only 26cm deep, which is a bonus for our crowded desktops and studio spaces.īeyond the sharp lines the most obvious change is that the pads and faders have swapped positions. What were they thinking with the coloured underbelly of the MkI and MkII? It was really easy to unpack, slid out of the box with one hand and I was delighted to see foam packed under the keys. It's all clean lines, angles and elegance and it does that thing where it instantly makes the very capable MkII look garish and unfashionable. This new version looks sedate and serious. The features are the same across the range except that only the 49 and 61 have the fader bank. Along with the usual 25- and 49-key options there's now a 37-key version for those people who find the 49 too big or the 25 too small. The model under review is the largest in the range at 61 keys. It's taken longer than expected, but everything that made the Mini MkIII a very cool little controller has been stretched out into the full-sized and infinitely more playable Launchkey MkIII. When Novation revealed the Launchkey Mini MkIII last year you knew it wouldn't be long before the rest of the Launchkey range followed suit. Launchkey Mini feels as good as it looks.The third generation Launchkey offers versatile control over hardware and software alike. Connect your sustain pedal and add even more expression to your playing. The 16 RGB pads are super-sensitive for precise, dynamic and nuanced drumming. For even more playing potential, you can strum chords with Strum Mode. Two touch strips for pitch and mod let you really feel your sounds. Launchkey Mini puts the sounds from your head into your hands. Device macros and mixer controls mean more hands-on control of your music. Transport, device and mixer controls mean fewer mouse clicks. Plug straight into Live, get your ideas down and create - Launchkey Mini gets any track moving. Add dynamic, expressive rhythms with 16 super-sensitive pads for drumming and clip launch. Fixed Chord mode takes your ideas further, adding a customizable fixed chord shape that follows you up the keyboard. Get new melodies, rhythms and sounds flying from your fingertips with Launchkey Mini’s easy yet powerful arpeggiator. Throw all this content into the included copy of Ableton Live Lite, or use Launchkey Mini’s integrations with Logic, Reason or any HUI compatible DAW. Launchkey Mini comes with everything you need to make tracks in the box, including sounds, instruments and effects from AAS, Softube, Spitfire Audio, XLN Audio and Klevgrand – plus membership of Novation Sound Collective. Make tracks anywhere with Launchkey Mini’s intuitive Ableton control, creative arpeggiator, Fixed Chord mode, MIDI out, and tons of sounds in the box. It gives you everything you need to start creating in Ableton Live – and it’ll fit in your bag. Launchkey Mini is Novation's most compact and portable 25-mini-key MIDI keyboard controller. Making 2D game modes work with assignments is going to be a huge technical challenge. But assignments don’t take place in a 2D game mode, meaning XP is not obtainable right now when completing homework.īecause of this, it makes sense for us to work on adding 2D game modes to assignments - and that’s what we plan to do. And our latest Cosmetics update allows students to earn XP in 2D game modes. Later this year, we’re going to be releasing a brand new version of assignments rebuilt from the ground up to work with 2D game modes.Įver since we first launched Fishtopia, one of the most popular requests has been to allow students to play Fishtopia for homework. Here’s to you and all you’ve overcome in another challenging school year. Thank you for all of your support and inspiration, this school year and every other. You can see everything we added this school year here ! We also switched our development focus radically, focusing on student engagement improvements, starting with Fishtopia, our first 2D game mode and an introduction to a whole new world inside of Gimkit. Along the way, we made updates and improvements to Gimkit based on your feedback.įor the first half of this school year, we focused on making teacher-side improvements, including re-building KitCollab from the ground up. Thousands of schools and districts purchased licenses to cover their teachers. This school year, millions of new teachers and students discovered Gimkit. Supporting what you do and how you do it is critical and we’re honored to be a small part of how you engage and elevate your students.

Senuti for Mac helps you manage your media library by facilitating the transfer of music, movies, and podcasts from your iPhone or iPod back to your computer. Through this app, you can choose to add transferred items to iTunes, save them in a separate folder on your computer, or both. Intro and instructions: When you first open this app, you'll be greeted with a brief walk-through that gives you an overview of what the program can do and also provides tips on how to avoid certain pitfalls. The interface is straightforward enough to begin with, but this added introduction lets you jump right in and start using the app without hesitation. Nice interface and functionality: All options are clearly laid-out in this app's interface, and you can take advantage of some nice features, like the ability to drag and drop playlists directly into the program. Scan war completed quickly, and you can set certain preferences ahead of time, such as where you'd like to automatically save songs to, in order to save time each time you initiate a transfer. This probably won't be much of a concern to casual users anyway, although we were unable to learn what options were actually contained in that space.ĬonsĬrashes and bugs: During testing, this app crashed every time we tried to select the Advanced Preferences tab in Settings.

It can be difficult to find where to ride further afield, which is why I am always on the quest to acquire good tracks provided by other riders. In our local area in VA, its taken years to find the best dual sport/”adventure” riding available in a day ride range. Its not always straightforward to find legal, unpaved roads to ride, and then determine how to string them together to take advantage of the most fun and scenic riding, while also not running into dead ends, or running out of gas/vehicle range.

With other Creative Cloud apps, even video editing or animation can be a part of a single digital workspace.Ĭreators can link Illustrator files to Photoshop files. And the opposite is true too - a graphic design project in Illustrator can easily fit into a larger photo project in Photoshop. Photoshop files can incorporate assets made in Illustrator, integrating an image created as a vector file into a raster file. Illustrator and Photoshop are both part of Adobe Creative Cloud and are designed to work together. When to use Illustrator and Photoshop together. Raster images tend to have more detailed colors and shading than vector images, and they tend to handle detailed textures and precise edits better than vector graphics. Unlike vector images, they are pixel-based. It’s also where skilled artists can create collages and photo composites, layer images together, and craft original images out of different photo files. Photoshop is where editors crop photos, adjust photo composition, correct lighting, and make any subject imaginable look its absolute best. Photoshop is the industry-standard photo editing software, and the go-to application for everything from small retouching changes to mind-bending photo art. An artist’s intuition and personal style is a powerful asset for creating distinctive images, and Illustrator allows artists to create with virtual brushes, pens, inks, and other powerful tools on a variety of digital surfaces. This makes Illustrator a very good application for graphics that are going to be printed on signs or banners.ĭesigners using Illustrator can create graphics and images freehand, using a stylus and digital drawing tools. Vector art can appear on everything from enormous banners to wallet-sized business cards, and everything in between. Now, Google Doc allows you to share the same document with 200 people in one go.

"The analysis of the samples provided by Arbor shows all were based on an illicitly modified old version of the LoJack agent from 2008 and no customers or partners have been impacted.May 4th 2018 – UPDATE FROM ABSOLUTE SOFTWARE:.– After the disclosure of the malicious Lojack binaries, many Anti-Virus vendors have been quick to respond in properly marking samples as "malware" and "DoubleAgent", rather than "Riskware" or "unsafe" ( Figure 2).However, Fancy Bear commonly uses phishing to deliver malware payloads as seen with Sedupload in late 2017. The distribution mechanism for the malicious Lojack samples remains unknown.Initially, the Lojack agents containing rogue C2 had low Anti-Virus (AV) detection which increased the probability of infection and subsequent successful C2 communication.Its continued use suggest attackers could have used it in long-running operations. Proof of concept in using Lojack as a backdoor or intrusion vector date back to 2014.ASERT researchers identified Lojack agents containing command and control (C2) domains likely associated with Fancy Bear operations.NOTE: Arbor APS enterprise security products detect and block on all activity noted in this report. Although the initial intrusion vector for this activity remains unknown, Fancy Bear often utilizes phishing email to deliver payloads. Lojack makes an excellent double-agent due to appearing as legit software while natively allowing remote code execution. Lojack, formally known as Computrace, is a legitimate laptop recovery solution used by a number of companies to protect their assets should they be stolen. They also target industries that do business with such organizations, such as defense contractors. Fancy Bear actors typically choose geopolitical targets, such as governments and international organizations. government have both attributed Fancy Bear activity to Russian espionage activity.
