![]() ![]() Although what balls are traditional urethane anymore… Anyway, he only needed to watch out for the pitch out to the right as it did over hook, which again gets its characteristic from the “plus” side of chemistry.īy now, we can’t be surprised by another urethane ball coming out. Yes it was early but it wasn’t that dead reaction he would get from traditional urethane. Really all he needed to do was just get a touch left of the dry and he had some nice room. So you know how 900 Global said this could work on cliffed house conditions? Will in Bryan’s case, that is true. Then Bryan finds a sweet spot near the second arrow where he basically strikes all day. Miss in and leave a flat corner, no surprise there. Once he starts moving left, say from 12 with belly, hey surprise, that wasn’t too bad. The initial look is pretty obvious urethane reaction in the sense of how it early it starts up. It just came down to the ball being more effective with a bit more axis rotation. A bit of a surprise seeing the difference between Sean and Tyler isn’t that significant to see such a difference in ball motion. ![]() There are some nice shots in there but there is maybe a bit too much precision needed in terms of where you come out of the pattern to be usable on this particular condition. It’s too strong to start up in the outside oil but with a little room, it was touch and go. The Zen U looked much more “urethane” than “plus”. His roll is a touch more forward than Tyler and you can kind of see the difference it makes. I mean yes you can see it has the clear urethane characteristics but at the same time the speed of responsiveness let’s you know it’s amped up a bit. But giving it too much room and it won’t work. ![]() Honestly it reminded me a bit of some of those huge reactive balls that dig and sometimes the pattern is too light. If he missed out, the ball actually overreacted. He could miss in but tended to get a bit of a flat hit. He is able to get into the 3rd arrow and beyond out to 7 or 8 and wham. Tyler’s test here probably demonstrates all the best characteristics of the Zen U. To be fair I enjoyed the Hot Cell but I digress. Sometimes too much of a good thing is simply too much, ala Hot Cell. The standard Zen core would create a ton of flare which would definitely give you a different ball. The idea is to give you a urethane ball that has the control of urethane but a bit more responsiveness while putting in a control shape core. In this iteration, 900 Global goes with a pretty strong cover with the same shape Zen core but with a much lower differential. So manufacturers will continue tweaking urethane to give us varied reactions. I don’t have to tell you my feeling on urethane but as we all know it’s here to stay. The 900 Global Zen U uses the Meditate LD symmetric core inside the s35 Urethane+ coverstock. Your driller will alter the shape to suit your game.” “Keep in mind that coverstock accounts for 70% of ball reaction, but the core creates the dynamic shape of the reaction. Although the Zen U harkens back to the nostalgic days when urethane was simple Black color and yellow script, it’s shape is more than that.Ĭheck out our friends Jeff Miller and Ron Hoppe at Haley’s Pro Shop for world class drilling and coaching! ![]() ![]() Topic 2923 – Reisum Added to Survival Mode: If you're into rogue-like games then I think you'll be into this.The brutal, frost lined world of Reisum can be available in Journey mode to these who purchase the Topic 2923 DLC. It will operate in the identical way that Rhom, Earth, and Yaesha work in the bottom game Journey Mode, providing you a chance to jump proper into the motion on Reisum with out having the start the Topic 2923 campaign. I am close to not recommending it, but as I previously said I played this game solo. Yeah, this game isn't fun enough for me to spend hours practicing. While it never fell below critical levels, it did however dip into the 40 range a couple of times. I haven't had it crash on me nor have I experienced very serious dips in FPS, but playing the FPS is all over the place. It runs alright but there is room for improvement. Why couldn't they have focused on making the bosses more difficult on their own rather than this b*llsh*t you'd normally see in games from the 1990s. Bosses do vary in their attack patterns and abilities, but the one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gimmick they all have in common, which really inflates their difficulty, is the fact that they spawn minions all the time. This also applies for Remnant 2 except there *is* a mod that disables it. There is no way to disable it and I was unable to find any mod that disabled it. ![]() Every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time you rest at a checkpoint, which is their version of a Dark Souls bonfire, your eyes are being stabbed by this obnoxious flashbang level white background. Really good boss design (the way they look that is not the gameplay - see below) ![]() Good variety in terms of weapons, traits, and abilities Replayable to some extent (I didn't feel like playing it any more after the final boss - see the cons) The game suffers from some issues that might be solved in Remnant 2, which may be a better purchase than this, but if you're into the lore then I would also get this game. It's alright if you're playing solo, but a lot more fun if you're multiple people. I only Wish i had found this game sooner. If you all die you start over from scratch. Every 6 minutes the game gets Harder, it will test your endurance on how long you can last. ![]() Then you will eventually fight a very challenging boss. ![]() Travel to random world, while fighting along the way you will pick up scrap, weapons and armour. Allows you to Fight until you die, You start off with nothing but a pistol, some scrap. The DLC - Swamps of Corsus Is icing on the cake for this game, bringing a New Mode - Survival. But lets face it most the time you will partied up on discord. Downside is there isn't any in game communication other then emotes that can serve as a form of communication in lieu of voice comms. It keeps things interesting, especially when playing with friends.Ĭo-op is Probably best part of this game making it a 5 star. The gun-play is what differentiates Remnant from the Dark souls genre, each world is randomly generated so your not guaranteed the same boss with each play through making it worth playing over and over. Great entry level souls-like genre, 90 hours in and not experience any game breaking bugs, and its not graphically demanding so should run on most computers. ![]() ![]() The lines are thicker in this font, which makes it suitable for logos and titles. Cookie CookieĬookie is still another option that offers a sophisticated font for any type of website. It walks a fine line between true cursive and merely a fancy script font but would still serve fancier sites well. This font has a real classic feel with less of a slant to each letter and more of a pseudo-printed look. Tangerine TangerineĪnd then there’s Tangerine. Or, it would work nicely for a logo or site title. Definitely a wedding invitation sort of font that could be used on a wedding website, even. Allura AlluraĪllura is another cursive font option that offers a bit more flourish. It’s slightly informal but could easily be used for site headers and title graphics for professional sites, blogs, publications, and more. Dancing Script Dancing Scriptĭancing Script is a lovely cursive font that is quite relaxed and could be used in a wide number of places on your website. The Best Cursive Fonts of 2023īefore you start your next project, you’ll definitely want to consider one of these cursive fonts, which are well-suited for adding elegance and style to your WordPress site headers, titles, and more. With all of this in mind, let’s now dive into our list of the best cursive fonts for making your site look fancier and more professional. Using multiple cursive or script fonts across your site will just look garish, so don’t do it. Remember, a script font is most often used for titles or to call attention to a specific line of text (like a subheader or tagline). It’s much too messy to try to use more than one. One at a time: Only use one script font on your website.It’s hard on the eyes and also poor on accessibility, so stick to using them for titles instead. They just aren’t very legible when used for body text. ![]() Headers and titles: Cursive fonts are best used in short bursts.Luxury brands: It makes more sense for a company or brand that deals in the luxury niche to use equally luxurious or sophisticated fonts.Official marketing materials: Similar to the above, company letterhead, website headers, and blog post titles may find cursive fonts to be fitting.Certificates, awards, other formal documents, as well as magazine headers all can benefit from their use. Formal situations: Any time you want to exude class or sophistication, a script font can work well.But there are a few specific situations where their use is both expected and encouraged: Of course, any time you want to convey elegance, a cursive font will serve you well. We’ve already mentioned a few potential use cases but let’s take a moment to explore further when and where to use cursive fonts on your website. Though not written by hand, it imitates cursive handwriting which immediately creates associations in your mind with a personal touch. The use of a script typeface automatically adds a sense of style and sophistication to what you’re making. From wedding invitations to ads, script is no stranger to printed materials. Script typefaces have been used in a variety of ways in the modern era. Likewise, calligraphy fonts can go heavy on the flourishes at times, obscuring the letters. For instance, Gaelic style script typefaces are blocky yet maintain elements of cursive on some occasions making it difficult to read. Of course, some script fonts are still rather illegible. They’re more casual and easier to read than both cursive handwriting and early examples of script typefaces. The script typefaces as we know them today found in printed materials and online were developed in the 20th century and are often a bit more relaxed than their predecessors. When replicated in digital format nowadays, brush script fonts mimic this lightweight style, which carries numerous imperfections and brushstrokes, lending it for use in anything that needs a personal or authentic touch. Calligraphy was created using a brush, which resulted in a feathery, delicate style of writing. 1976 Jean Patou 1000 Perfume Ad – Image source: eBayīrush scripts, on the other hand, found their beginnings in Asia. This same style found a revival in the 1970s, where script flourishes dominated advertising across every niche. This elegant lettering was then engraved onto copper plates, which could be used in printing. This type of curlicue, scroll-laden handwriting you’d find in manuscripts written with a quill and ink.ĭuring this period of time, British aristocracy was quite fond of calligraphy, which was made entirely possible by the use of a pointed nib. Rather, script typefaces are inspired by physical cursive handwriting that was used around the 18th century. We’re talking long before typewriters and word processing here. Cursive fonts are formally referred to as script typefaces and they’ve existed for several hundred years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Learn and play with your friends from Toy Story, with products featuring all of your favourite characters from the hit Pixar film series.

The process of enabling this on console is a real pain as it does require a texture pack to work but it's doable with a bit of effort. Basically the game looks 1000% nicer (not on level with RTX but a huge step in the right direction.) We get dynamic shadows, pbr materials (blocks & entities), bloom, tone mapping & atmospheric scattering. Honestly I couldn't tell you what this means on a technical level or how that differs to ray tracing but it does add some nice features. It's a technique called physical based rendering (PBR).

Reagan’s career was based on absolute integrity because his dealings with politicians, Congress, and other nations were based on the principles of trust and honesty (Elliott, 2015).Īnother trait of Reagan’s leadership and management was his openness to delegation of duties and responsibilities to his subordinates (Strock, 2014). He ensured that he always got what he wanted. His perseverance was useful in achieving his objectives during negotiations either with Congress or other nations (Elliott, 2015). In addition, his opposition of Mikhail Gorbachev was an act of courage that defended the Strategic Defense Initiative. He demonstrated his courage when an assassination attempt was made on him as well as during the air traffic controllers’ strike. His courage and perseverance were also useful attributes of his leadership (Strock, 2014). ![]() These skills were augmented by his strong decision-making abilities. Reagan also had exemplary negotiation skills that were useful in stopping a global conflict from culminating into a worldwide war. His flexibility allowed easy adjustment to different political situations and circumstances (Strock, 2014). His convictions were useful in determining his administration’s priorities, which were the highlights of his leadership. Reagan’s leadership was highly flexible despite his strongly-held convictions regarding various political matters (Elliott, 2015). In addition, he failed to recognize his officers in various instances because of his hands-off manner of management (Elliott, 2015). For instance, he was misled by his advisers on several occasions because he never held one-on-one discussions with them. Reagan gave his subordinates the freedom to perform their duties without unnecessary interference even though this approach was problematic in certain cases. His governorship and presidency were characterized by numerous public events that were aimed at uniting Americans and restoring the country’s traditional values as outlined in the Declaration of independence (Strock, 2014). His social skills can be attributed to his acting career in Hollywood. The roles he played on screen prepared him for his presidency. Reagan’s leadership style was highly influenced by Roosevelt as well as his experience as a labor leader and an actor (Strock, 2014). Roosevelt because of his exemplary social skills and a private personal life. Reagan is usually compared with Franklin D. ![]() In his second term, he engineered a strategy that terminated a global conflict that could have led to a world war (Elliott, 2015). During his first term in office, he oversaw the critical transformation of the United Sates’ domestic policies. Historians have often described Ronald Reagan as a highly complex leader largely because of his private life. I will argue that Reagan united, inspired, emboldened, and protected Americans with his transformational leadership style while president Obama transformed the US with his democratic/participative leadership style. Academic literature on leadership as well as publicly available sources of information such as articles and news stories will be reviewed for insights on the topic. This paper will evaluate the leadership and management styles of both presidents and determine their influence on the quality of their leadership. Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama are examples of leaders with diverse leadership styles who used their skills to achieve greatly and improve the lives of Americans in different ways. ![]() Leadership refers to the ability of an individual to inspire and influence people to work toward certain goals or outcomes. Reagan and Obama are among the most respected presidents in the history of the United States primarily due to their exceptional leadership that transformed America in various ways. The styles adopted by both leaders led to different outcomes with regard to the achievement of goals and objectives. President Obama’s democratic leadership is characterized by charisma, vision, exceptional communication skills, and ability to inspire hope and change. ![]() ![]() ![]()
