![]() I hope this article provides you with some interesting insights about Cocoa native bindings and how to use them to tweak the Mac OS menu bar items from JavaFX. It also sets the useSystemMenuBarProperty to true in order to put the menu bar at the very top of the screen instead of adding it to the application void start (Stage primaryStage ) throws Exception ) // Add the menu item as first element to the application menu menuBar.getMenus().get(0).getItems().add(0, about) // Update the menu bar tMenuBar(menuBar) ![]() ![]() The following example shows how to add a menu bar to a JavaFX application. With the resulting code, JavaFX applications are able to use the default Mac OS menu bar just like any native application. In this blog post, I describe how to access the application menu using Cocoa native bindings from Eclipse SWT to modify default application menu items and adding new custom items. This can be particularly annoying when menu items are labeled “Java” or contain the entire package name of your main class. Unfortunately, JavaFX does not provide any means to access this menu let alone adding new custom items to it. Native Mac OS applications also use the application menu for example for preferences, the about menu and other application related menu items. This application menu is created for every application regardless of whether it uses an own menu bar or not and contains items to show, hide and quit the application. In contrast to the regular menu of a JavaFX application, this menu bar always contains the Apple menu and something that is called application menu. On OS X, the application’s menu bar is usually detached from the application’s main window and shown at the very top of the desktop instead. This is usually not a big problem, but it can be rather annoying in certain cases. As the compiled code is supposed to run on all supported operating systems, JavaFX does not support all unique operating system specific UI elements. This platform independence, however, usually comes at a price. JavaFX provides a simple means to create platform independent applications with a graphical UI.

![]() But at least hear out why they matter first. If you’re just starting out and need to save as much cash as possible (all this equipment can add up), then you can skip the preamp. I emphasize those differently because most interfaces include a rudimentary preamp that will do the job. To connect your microphone to your recording device, you will need an interface and probably want a preamp. We can’t solve every problem with your room for you, but it’s something to keep in mind. Walls reflect sound, large rooms echo, and if you’re outdoors, wind can blow into your microphone, ruining your audio. The room you’re in: An overlooked aspect of audio recording is controlling for the various audio problems that walls, wind, and objects create.In some cases, you can get an interface that is also a recording device, though there are good reasons why you might not want to go that route. Then again, you’re still probably recording a live performance, so best to include this one anyway. However, it can also include a camera, a stand-alone recorder-or in the case of live performances, no recorder at all, instead sending an audio signal directly to speakers. A recording device: Very often, this device will be your computer.An interface is absolutely necessary if you’re upgrading to pro gear. These generally have mic inputs and gain control knobs, and they supply phantom power, all of which we’ll explain below. ![]() An interface: An audio interface is a stand-alone box that lets you connect microphones to your computer, recording device, or speakers.Interfaces often have built-in preamps, so you can rely on those, but you might want to upgrade in the future. Stand-alone preamps usually do this best and provide the cleanest audio signal, but they can be expensive. A preamp takes the relatively weak audio signal from your microphone and boosts it to usable levels. A preamp: If you’re just starting out, this is probably the place you’re going to skimp for a while.This means the best microphone for podcasting probably won’t be the best one for shooting an indie film. However, pro microphones are often designed to pick up audio in specific patterns or conditions, allowing you to focus on just the sound you want. A good microphone (or several): Most consumer-grade mics that aren’t attached to headsets are for general use.Instead, there’s an entire pipeline of hardware, most of which is necessary, but you can skip a couple steps, which we’ll discuss below. In fact, you should stay away from USB microphones entirely. For most pro gear, you can’t just grab a microphone off the shelf and plug it in. Before we go over specifics, let’s get an overview of what kind of equipment you’ll need. ![]() Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon launches November 17 for Nintendo 3DS.

In George Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), which documents his experience of working-class life in the North of England, the author considered fish and chips chief among the 'home comforts' which acted as a panacea to the working classes. On a single day in 1952, the shop served 10,000 portions of fish and chips, earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records. In 1928, Harry Ramsden opened his first fish and chip shop in Guiseley, West Yorkshire. ĭeep-fried cod and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce from Bude, Cornwall. According to Professor John Walton, author of Fish and Chips and the British Working Class, the British government made safeguarding supplies of fish and chips during the First World War a priority: "The cabinet knew it was vital to keep families on the home front in good heart, unlike the German regime that failed to keep its people well fed". As a boy, Alfred Hitchcock lived above a fish and chip shop in London, which was the family business. The fish-and-chip shop later evolved into a fairly standard format, with the food served, in paper wrappings, to queuing customers, over a counter in front of the fryers. ![]() Usually these consisted principally of a large cauldron of cooking fat, heated by a coal fire. ![]() Early fish-and-chip shops had only very basic facilities. The modern fish-and-chip shop ("chippy" in modern British and Ulster slang) originated in the United Kingdom, although outlets selling fried food occurred commonly throughout Europe. ĭeep-fried chips (slices or pieces of potato) as a dish may have first appeared in England in about the same period: the Oxford English Dictionary notes as its earliest usage of "chips" in this sense the mention in Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities (1859): "husky chips of potato, fried with some reluctant drops of oil". Fish and chips became a stock meal among the working classes in England as a consequence of the rapid development of trawl fishing in the North Sea, and the development of railways which connected the ports to major industrial cities during the second half of the 19th century, so that fresh fish could be rapidly transported to the heavily populated areas. However, fried fish and chips had existed separately for at least 50 years prior to this, so the possibility that they had been combined at an earlier time cannot be ruled out. The earliest known shops were opened in London during the 1860s by Eastern European Jewish immigrant Joseph Malin, and by John Lees in Mossley, Lancashire. ![]() The exact location of the first fish and chip shop is unclear. Charles Dickens mentions "fried fish warehouses" in Oliver Twist (1838), and in 1845 Alexis Soyer in his first edition of A Shilling Cookery for the People, gives a recipe for "fried fish, Jewish fashion", which is dipped in a batter mix of flour and water before frying. Fish fried for Shabbat for dinner on Friday evenings could be eaten cold the following afternoon for shalosh seudot, palatable this way as liquid vegetable oil was used rather than a hard fat, such as butter. ![]() They prepared fried fish in a manner similar to pescado frito, which is coated in flour then fried in oil. The UK tradition of eating fish battered and fried in oil was introduced to the country by Spanish and Portuguese Jewish immigrants, who spent time in the Netherlands before settling in the UK as early as the 16th century. Fish and chips, served in a paper wrapper ( greaseproof paper inner and ordinary paper outer), as a "takeaway" The ability to create Acrobat forms was in Acrobat Standard, which was previously only available with Acrobat Professional 6, 7 and 8.Support for Adobe extensions for PDF 1.7.Īdobe Acrobat 9 is the last version to support Windows 2000 and PowerPC-based Macintosh PCs.

This function has also been added to Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint. Translator - Word can now translate words and sentences into other languages using the Microsoft Translator tool, which sits under the Review tab. ![]() Like its spreadsheet counterpart, Excel, Word has been given a number of updates to improve its functionality and ensure it keeps up with the changing computing times. The latest version of the software is Word 2019. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, has said that Office is the company's most important API (application programming interface). Today, Word and the whole Office suite is highly-integrated and runs on OS X, Android and iOS, as well as Windows. The most recent release was at the end of 2018, with Word 2019, part of Office 365. Since then, Microsoft has released a new version of Word at least every two years. Word 6.0 was the last version created to run on DOS and the last version to be identified by version number subsequent versions were named after their year of release. In 1993, Microsoft released Word 6.0 which worked on Macintosh, Windows and DOS. The name was also changed to the shorter and more memorable ‘Word’. Over the following years, Microsoft re-coded the program a number of times so that it could work on different operating systems, including DOS (disk operating system) and Macintosh. Version 2.0 was released in 1985, with added features including spellcheck and word count. Word let users create, save and print text documents, but it wasn't an instant success perhaps because it was competing with the hugely popular WordPerfect and WordStar word processing programs. This meant that however a document looked on screen was how it would look once printed. Word was a WYSIWYG ('what you see is what you get') program. It was designed for use on computers that ran the UNIX operating system. At this time, Word was called Multi-Tool Word. The two were hired by Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen, in 1981. The first ever version of Microsoft Word - Word 1.0 - was launched in October 1983 and developed by former Xerox programmers, Charles Simonyi and Richard Brodie. ![]() So, just how did Word come to dominate the market during the last 25 years and become the most-used word processing software in the world? And what does the future hold for the product? Rise to popularity Word can be bought as a standalone product or as a part of Microsoft Office, which also includes programs like Excel and PowerPoint. Its popularity lies in its ease of use, plus the fact that it can be used on different operating systems including Macintosh and of course, Windows. In fact, it’s estimated that Word is running on more than a billion devices worldwide.įirst released in 1983 under a different name, Word celebrated its 25 th birthday in 2018. It is an integral part of the Microsoft Office suite of products and is the most widely-used word processor in the world.

When I was leaving David told me to go online and look at the cars I would be interested in and send it back to him with stock numbers. This was the first hint to me that this was shady business. About 15 minutes later he came back and told me that I would have to wait until Monday or Tuesday because the banks were not open on Sunday and I needed to get approved first. Instead of escorting me out to the lot and giving me a tour, he stated to me "you can go outside on your own and check out the cars we have, we have cars on the left side of the door and some of the right side but you should check on the left first." I didn't feel comfortable going outside alone as I had no idea what I would be looking at in the lot. While I waited I asked David if I could be taken to the lot to see the cars he had. I agreed and he submitted the application the the finance manager. He stated that best we could do is try a credit application. He stated that he did not know what she was talking about but he could not guarantee approval. I explained my situation to David and explained that Vertulie guaranteed approval. ![]() When I got to the dealership I was greeted by the receptionist who informed me that Vertulie was not in, however, she had a salesperson who could help me she handed me over to David ** who gathered all my documents and started the paperwork process. So, I set my skepticism aside and made the appointment and went. Now, I live in New Jersey and the dealer is located in Great Neck, NY. Vertulie assured me that she would be able to get me approved but I would have to go to the dealership. I explained further that I did not want to waste anyone's time as well as my own time so I wanted to work with someone who had a high credit acceptance rating for people with fair credit. I explained that after checking my credit it was not the greatest and that I had a prior charge-off on my report. Thank God I walked out of there and didn't purchase the car or got scammed. The car looked like it wasn't moved for months, dirty and dusty. Then don't want to provide anything in writing. Then you get there and they try to sell you a car with crazy down payments and interest rates. They bring you there under the assumption that you are approved and it's a lie. Then he tries to sell me a Maserati Gibbli that a guy was there to pick up, he already had paid for. So if you're trying to sell a car, walk over and ask him for the paperwork and Carfax. The finance manager has it." Mind you I literally can see the managers office from my seat. So he's like, "So we ready to do this?" I'm like, "Give me a printout with the numbers that the bank is asking for." He tell me, "Oh I can't give you that. So I'm like, "What? But okay, let me see the Carfax for the car." He replied with, "Okay I can get that for you," but never gave it to me, kept brushing it off. I come back and Max says that only one bank responded and that they want $13k down and apr would be 22%. So anyway, we go take a look at the car while they work numbers. ![]() Which now I'm pissed because I came in with the intention of looking at the vehicle and if the numbers make sense driving the car back. So we finally sit down to talk to Max, who proceeded to explain that he doesn't know why they would say that because in fact, my credit wasn't ran. ![]() We get there and waited 30 minutes to be seen even though I had an appt and was harassed the entire time before getting there about keeping my appt. ![]() TCNJ is a highly selective institution that has earned national recognition for its commitment to excellence.
