Color Types Wire 7.20 introduces the Color Type. This new type allows you to be much more flexible with your color management in Wire. The Color In and Color nodes will now produce a color type. Additionally we've added the Color from RGB and Color from HSB nodes that increase your color making capabilities. The Analogous Colors and Complementary Colors nodes will produce a color palette for you, based on the input color. The Color Type can be unpacked to get individual components of the color. The much requested Sample Texture node has also arrived with this update, which allows you to sample colors from a texture. As cherry on the cake, we've updated effects like Hue Rotate, Greyscale, AddSubtract and Bright.Contrast to accept the Color type, allowing you to apply these effects directly to colors.
Hardware Stats For Resolume 7.20 we've updated the way the hardware stats and FPS are displayed in Arena, Avenue and Wire. The "Show FPS" option in the "output"-menu is gone. The option is renamed to "Show FPS & Stats" and has moved to the "view"-menu. The hardware stats are now visually the same in all three programs. The hardware stats are displayed in a bar at the bottom of your interface and display the FPS, together with GPU, CPU and RAM usage. We've also greatly increased the accuracy of these stats on macOS.Node
Stats Panel Continuing the trend of monitoring your performance, We added a new panel to Wire: the stats panel. In this panel you can track how the load is distributed among your nodes. This is very useful to find where the bottlenecks are in your patch.
CTRL + F Node Search Searching is a very fast way to find the node you're looking for instead of zooming & panning your way around a big spaghetti patch. Hit CTRL + F on Windows and ⌘ + F on macOS. The Stats panel will focus and you can start typing straight away. All nodes matching your search query will be listed. Click the one you're looking for and it will be highlighted in the patch and the Node panel.
Improved Text and Mesh rendering The Text Render and Mesh Render nodes are now much faster when rendering a lot of instances so you can now go crazy and take it up to 11. Or 11.000 if you really want to set your hair on fire. Tutorial
Overhaul Wire 7.20 is a great point of entry if you want to learn how to work with Resolume's node based coding environment. We've overhauled the entire tutorial section to get you up and running with Wire in no-time.
Strokes Effect Built entirely with the new Wire features, this new effect in Arena & Avenue gives a nice van Gogh painterly look by applying angled brush strokes. You can clone it and make your own variations in Wire.

Hello, I am an incoming frosh [ID124] I would like to ask if I could still request a change of program before enrolling after paying the reservation fee in the acceptance letter with the initial course given? Will I still be given a chance to shift before enrolling? Thank you for attending to my concern if so <33

I know this is an often-discussed topic here but I would love to hear any advice or experiences from my fellow GD mamas - this sub has been really helpful for me and I’m hearing different opinions from different doctors in my practice.
For starters, I love my OB practice, but they do follow the practice of rotating you through the different doctors within the practice for every appointment throughout pregnancy so you’re familiar with each before going into labor. Due to this, I’ve gotten different opinions from the different doctors. I was diagnosed with GD at 28 weeks and have been diet controlled the entire time (I’m 38+4 today). I would say my numbers have been 97% within range, with very few spikes. However, in the last three days I’ve had one spike per day (supposed to be under 120 after 2 hours, all have been below 130 but still a slight spike).
I have been told different things since my dx — 1) since I’m well diet-controlled, I could conceivably go up to 41 weeks and spontaneously go into labor without issue, 2) even though I AM diet controlled, if I don’t go into labor by my due date they will schedule an induction, 3) I can opt for an elective induction after the 39-week mark if I want, basically if I’m just tired of being pregnant. No one has actually discussed induction at length with me (I do plan to ask at my checkup today) and I have no idea what to expect if this is something they’re willing to put on a schedule.
I do not want to go past my due date, but I don’t know the risks of an elective induction. I so far have no signs of labor. Baby is head down. I was in a lot of pain when I got my first cervix check at 36 weeks & would very much like to not agree to another one. I have not had weekly NSTs, only two, that I requested due to decreased/changed fetal activity. I had a BPP for the first time last week (again, at my request due to feeling like he was in a malposition) which baby passed with flying colors.
Overall my doctors just seem very chill and blasé and approaching me overall as a low-risk, normal pregnancy. Which I’m definitely happy about, but the closer I get I’m so conflicted as to what the right thing to do is. I read the Evidence-Based Birth article about the benefits of induction with GD, but I’ve also seen people mention horror stories with GD & induction here - placental abruption, etc etc. so I just don’t know how I should be feeling at this point. I’m having a lot of anxiety over the last couple of days, I’m literally stressing myself sick over every little thing (sinus headaches, minor changes in baby movement, minor sugar spikes) and just ready to get this show on the f*cking road, to be honest. I wish that my doctors had been more clear with me about all of my options. I feel so lost and confused and just want to have this baby already.

So this is going to be a lot so if you want to read be prepared for a long story lol.
So my dad and I had a big falling out recently. It started a couple months ago in November when my parents were separating. My mom had moved out a month or two prior and still had some of her stuff at the house. My dad (unprompted) had texted her telling her to get all of her shit out of the house or else he was going to burn it and he had thrown some of her stuff in the front yard. (He just had surgery and was on medication that could have affected his judgment but this was still not out of character for him) So my mom, myself, and my husband went to the house to help her get her stuff. We were getting some of her things from the yard and he had come outside and he and I began arguing. He thought that my mom was trying to turn me against him but truthfully, she has always treated me better than him and he wasn’t the best to me growing up so I was always closer to my mom. I told him he was being a childish asshole and he was a shitty father. He told us we all need to leave and went inside to get a rifle probably to “defend his property” or whatever around the time we were arguing my sister (who has a different dad) and her husband pulled into the driveway to help pack. They had their month old infant in the car with them because he was too young to be separated from his mother and they didn’t expect things to blow up so much. My dad ended up pointing the gun at pretty much everyone. He pointed the gun at the car with my sister and her family and right at my husband’s head. I don’t think realistically he could have pulled the trigger easily because he just had surgery on his dominant shoulder and he was using his other hand to hold the gun up. But the fact remains that he pointed a gun directly at my husbands face and at the car where my sister and her family were. If anyone knows anything about guns one of the most important rules is you don’t ever point a gun at anyone unless you intend to shoot (like in self defense situations). He taught me how to shoot so he definitely knows this and should know better. I figured the situation may blow up so I had my pepper spray in my pocket and ended up having to use it on my dad when he first pointed the gun at my sisters car. After that we left and my mom was in the u-haul the whole time on the phone with the police. We went to a nearby gas station and the police met us there and got our stories and my dad ended up getting arrested. He texted me the next day saying he’ll have nothing to do with me or my family from that point forward.
Flash forward a couple months later, my dad and I have been no contact. A family friend had called my sister and I because she was concerned about the well-being of my mother. She said that my parents admitted to doing meth the night before my sisters wedding and it started as an occasional thing then became an everyday thing for them. She was doing what she could to help but they live 4 hours away so there’s only so much they could do. The reason she called to tell us was she was concerned now that they were separated she would fall back into it and the last time she saw my mom a few weeks prior she seemed to be tweaking. We didn’t confront my mom immediately because we wanted to think about what to say and we didn’t want to put the family friend for telling on my mom because that would ruin their 20+ year long friendship. A few days later my dad happened to text and say he was concerned about her and wouldn’t say why. My mom, probably doing damage control, texted saying he’s texting everyone bc he thinks she’s on meth. I used my dad texting about it as an excuse to try to get more information. He ended up telling me a lot about their past drug use and my sister and I confronted my mom about it a few days later. She basically denied everything and was hurt we believed my dad. Which we would have never believed him if it wasn’t for the family friend telling us but we couldn’t tell her about that so we just let it be basically. We don’t think she’s on it currently because she doesn’t seem tweaky and has gained some weight since the separation.
Apparently then my dad and I had thought we had made up since we’ve been talking recently. My husband was going to the town my dad lives to fish and he saw my dad coming to our town so he immediately turned around and sped back to our house and called me to let me know. My husband had me text my dad and tell him not to come to our house and he said he was going to the meat market in our town and sent the picture of the sign to show me where he was. He was offended that I told him not to come by so he drove past our house. We were expecting him because we knew us telling him was in innovation in his mind to come by and when he drove past my husband flipped him off and my dad slammed on the breaks and got out of the car. My husband pulled his gun out since he saw him as a threat and told him to leave immediately and they got into an argument. Nothing happened other than my husband punched his truck and he agreed not to press charges as long as he pays for the damages so we ended up doing that so my husband doesn’t have anything on his record.
So for a bit of background, my dad had a kid, who ended up not being his kid, with someone before my mom and him got together who is 5 years older than me. I think he in his heart knew the child wasn’t his, and he treated the child horribly. I was so young while he lived with us so I didn’t realize how bad it was but just for perspective, some of his “punishments” were to run laps for god knows how long and whenever he was grounded he would have to just sit in his room on his bed and do nothing. He was kept in his room basically his whole childhood. He had issues with lying as I was told and “nothing worked” so they resorted to extremely harsh punishments. If you could even call it punishments. One of them was he was only allowed to eat break and milk for however long. I was just a kid so I would just think “oh he’s in trouble again bc he’s bad it’s fine” but as an adult I would NEVER treat any child like that no matter how “bad” the kid is. It disgusts me to think about. For a bit during the drama in between the two incidents my dad was alluding to the fact that he may commit suicide. I know this is terrible to say but honestly now I hope he goes through with it. The fact he’s my dad and I still have love for him makes me feel terrible for hating him but I know if he was anyone else and I knew how he was I would hate the fact he exists on the same earth as everyone else. I’ve always seen my mom as a victim but I’m coming to terms I guess with the fact that she was an adult who allowed her children and the child she was caring for to be abused and/or mistreated over a man. And participated in some instances. She tried to defend sometimes but not nearly enough. She’s pretty old fashioned so she believes in putting her husband first and while that’s not the worst thing in the world, you can’t put a terrible man over your innocent children. my husband and I told have children but we have nieces and nephews and if I saw him treating them the way my mom allowed my dad to treat us, I’d be a widow bc there’s no way I’d allow that type of behavior.
I know this was a lot but I guess what I’m asking for is any advice? There’s a lot more nuances that I could add but it’d make for an even longer post lol. What are y’all’s thoughts?

A few months ago, my life changed completely. I (M15) years old, and before the accident, I was just a normal kid. At least, that’s what everyone tells me.
I don’t remember any of it.
I was walking home from school, not paying attention to anything around me. I didn’t see the car coming. One moment, I was crossing the street, and the next thing I knew, I was lying on the cold pavement, everything around me in chaos.
When I woke up in the hospital, I was in so much pain and totally confused. My head felt like it was going to explode, and I had no idea where I was or what had happened.
The doctors said I had a severe concussion and amnesia. They explained that I couldn’t remember anything from before the accident—no childhood memories, no friends, no family. My mind was completely blank, wiped clean by the trauma.
My parents were the first faces I saw when I woke up. They looked relieved but also terrified. My mom tried to be strong, but I could see the tears in her eyes. My dad, usually so tough, couldn’t hide how scared he was. They kept asking me questions, hoping something would spark a memory, but it was useless. I didn’t recognize them, didn’t remember anything about our life together. I didn’t even know my own name.
The doctors said my memory might come back with time, but there were no guarantees. In the meantime, I had to rely on what my family told me about my past. They showed me pictures, told me stories, but it all felt like it belonged to someone else.
The hardest part has been trying to reconnect with my family. My parents are doing their best to help me, but it’s clear they’re struggling too. My mom tries to fill in the gaps, telling me about the things I used to love, the friends I had, the dreams I chased. My dad is more reserved, like he doesn’t know how to handle the stranger that his son has become.
My little sister, Emma, is only 10. She looks at me with a mix of hope and sadness, asking when I’ll remember her, when things will go back to normal. I wish I had an answer for her. I wish I could remember the bond we supposedly shared.
I feel terrible that I can't remember anything. My parents have been amazing, but I can see the hurt in their eyes. My mom is constantly on the verge of tears, and my dad looks like he’s carrying the weight of the world. Emma is trying so hard to help, but every time she asks me if I remember something, it just breaks my heart to say no.
I started seeing a therapist, trying to piece together my life before the accident. It’s frustrating and terrifying, like chasing shadows that always slip away. The therapist says it’s important to create new memories, to focus on the present and not get lost in what I can’t remember. But how can I do that when I feel like half a person, a ghost haunting my own life?
School is a nightmare. Everyone looks at me differently now, whispering behind my back. I’m the kid who lost his memory, the one who can’t even remember his best friends. They try to be nice, but it just makes me feel worse. I don’t know who to trust, who to turn to.
Every day is a struggle. The pain, the fear, the isolation—they’re eating me alive. And watching my family suffer because of it is almost worse than the physical pain. I see the strain in my parents' eyes, the tension in their voices. I know they’re scared of losing me, even though I’m right here.
So, Reddit, AITA for feeling bad that I can’t remember anything? Am I wrong for feeling guilty that my family is hurting because of me? I just needed to get this out and see if someone else understands.

I am racing GT3 cars in multiplayer with the car restrictions of R class.
When I goto Rivals mode, and select a circuit, it shows the leaderboard for all the cars. Is there a way to only see GT3 cars in the leaderboard?

I always mumble these words and have spent far too much time searching for these, so I came up with my own so I can sing in the car. These are specifically from Houdini Live: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust. These were easier than the album and each show has it's own lyrics. I would love to see what people are hearing when you're listening!!
I see those friend go ride you, host away the beer
Might even petrify my closet wheel
Joke mister joy no make me, pate so sad and low
Laugh at his sin ghost entry, chemical

Toast no in fear mall angel, want to be away
She’s not afraid to feel more desperately
Ask not and you will find it right

Lactate I go for gentry, maybe more in here
Haste like a visionary, ampersand

Toast no in fear mall angel, want to be away
She’s not afraid to feel more desperately
Ask not and you will find it right

Hi all! I’m luckily able to get into the new servicing platform and was able to make my May payment.
However, when I was looking through the site I saw an alert on 3 employer certifications showing that they weren’t certified when they were submitted a long time ago and then re-submitted on the department of education website sometime last year.
I had letters (not sure if I saved them) showing that my employers qualified and with an update to my counts.
Anyone else have this? If you experienced this, what did you do?
Luckily my employers are still around, but this is extremely frustrating.

I'm the lady who thought she got a bat bite in the backyard while throwing my daughter a birthday party. Cant remember the account name I used to post here at that time. I thought I'd hop on here because today I got a sore throat and my immediate thought was "It's probably rabies."
That's how OCD works. This thought will plague me until my sore throat goes away. My brain will do mental gymnastics to try to calm itself and it won't work. Now, I could make it a million times worst by checking to make sure I can still swallow every few minutes, checking my temperature, investigating the site of my non existent bite to see if it tingles or is itchy, googling for reassurance, asking for reassurance on this sub etc etc. But then the OCD would only stay longer. And after eight months I say f*** that.
I''d rather put up with these scary thoughts for a day or two. Just sit with them and feel afraid, than fuel the OCD. OCD is a monster and when you perform those compulsions you just feed it and it grows bigger and scarier.
If you are on this sub today seeking reassurance, try to stop yourself. You know it won't help you because nobody can tell you with 100% certainty that you don't have rabies. That's what you are asking for and no one can give that to you.
Try to immerse yourself in an activity. Mine was slow cooking. I cooked complicated recipes, my family ate like royalty. I had a silly little dance that I did when the thoughts got so bad I thought I was gonna explode.
I had setbacks. Stupid rabies OCD kept flaring up, so I would repeat the process. I even started having nerve issues in my foot which was the site of the "bat bite." Those were tough days. My Dad had a brain injury, my daughter was in a car accident and I dealt with both. I was there with my family, showed up for my kids. You can't do that when you're online compulsively asking, searching, pleading for certainty that can't be had.
Pick a hobby. Immerse yourself. Notice the thoughts. This fear will lessen. It will be more than tolerable. Some days you will even laugh at yourself and the thoughts. The whole thing will become a joke even while it's still sometimes scary. You can do it.

Want to understand the character Armaan towards the women in his life...He is not bad or villian or toxic...Just a complex character..
Vidya: He is son of Madhav's first wife whom Poddars didn't accepted. After his mother demise when he was a kid entered Poddar house and Vidya accepted his as her son. Dadi never failed to remind this to him and making him guilty about how his entry ruptured Vidya Madhav relationship. With guilty he is trying not to cause any problem to her because of him...What need to understand is Vidya and Madhav's relationship had gap when he hid his first marriage and married Vidya...He didn't do any mistake. Also, he is the rightful son of Poddars
Dadi: He always yearns for her acceptance. He want Dadi to feel him as her own heir. But she will never fail to differentiate between her choice and out of hers...Vidya is her choice and Madhav's first wife is not...So Rohit is outcome of choice while Armaan is not..She wanted Armaan on her tips. Now she is scared that he is Slipping like Madhav if he realize his feelings for Abhir which only she can see it...She want the control on him...what she donno is he will give his life for her, abhira tho kya
Ruhi : He liked her first time when he saw her May be he felt the instant connection with her. the intial sweet time didn't even lasted for few days..Ruhi just accepted another alliance just because he didn't show up on a date and didn't attend her call. When he came to engagement , he was shattered seeing Ruhi as his brother's fiance. What will anyone will do in this situation ..he is someone who don't want even unintentionally to hurt his family...Do you think he will go and say to family that I love the girl you chose for my brother? Ruhi still had the choice to reject but she married Rohit so that she can stay close to Armaan. Unfortunately Rohit left after marriage , now Ruhi became his new responsibility. He thinks he ruined Ruhi's life just like Vidya's...He don't want to hurt her anyway..If only Ruhi tried to understand him for even 1% then she will know what Armaan wants actually
Abhira : Here come the lady who stirred his well planned robotic life like a tornado. She made him do all the things which he won't do even in dream..He stood for her infront of his family. He even willing to leave the house for her. He will running when something happens to her.He is ready to take bullet for her. He opposes all her fights at start but will stand with her like wall whether it is during her joining college plan or Charu internship or Krish dream fight. But divorce request from his Dadi shattered him...He can't say no to his dadi/family...He subconsciously wanted Abhira to fight on his behalf for their them for their relationship. But Abhira's silence made him feel that she also didn't accepted him fully like his family members. When she lied in court it his final hope . He did all the things he can for her to react but Abhira gave up. And he blames Abhira for it...He is not trying to see where he went wrong...He thinks Abhira want to leave him...whether he loves or not, we are not sure yet but if he loves her then he should stop leading on Ruhi and tell Abhira what he exactly feel
I am not his fan at all..Just wanted to give a chance to his character....He is not outright black character like other MLs of startplus

Born and bought up in a Gujju household, I hadn't heard a single conversation around Dowry (/dahej) among my friends and family. And I am social guy with a fairly large number of people in my circle.
Sometime ago, I was talking about long term relationships & arranged marriages in my office circle, I was shocked to discover that dowry system is common in most states. Most of my colleagues deeply disagreed with the system but it still exists in their families.
Once I started going down the rabit hole, I found that it is common in most states across India except Gujarat. I checked with multiple people from each state - Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, UP, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Delhi, Karnataka and the list goes on.
To double check, I called friends from different cities, ethnic communities and generations across Gujarat. Zero dowry transactions. At worst, it might be an edge case in some niche community. Gender ratio of Gujarat is not great but it is similar to most states and not on extreme end. I was also surprised that during my entire existence none of my friends from other states told me about dowry system.
And I am not talking about giving expensive gifts to the other side. For eg. in Gujarat 'both' families give gifts like jewellery, car, clothes, etc. to bride (not groom). Bride receives exponentially more gifts than groom. Yes, there is lot of show off. But the cost of these gifts is not even tracked let alone be predetermined.
I am talking about business deal type of transactions, where the groom's family has decided the minimum amount (price?) beforehand and decision to marry or not depends on bride's family agreeing to giving this amount. As if they are paying fees for a daycare for their daughter or they are buying the groom. And marriages are broken, people are hurt, terrible things happen if the bride's family is not able to fulfill their promised amount.
I had seen news reports around these events but I assumed them to be edge cases. Why is this still a majority case across the country? What am I missing?
The irony that Gujarat's 'business' minded people are out of this game!

I run a pretty small-scale (at the moment) concert booking business and I've recently made a foray into attempting to do it full time and standardize/streamline my process, knowing that in order to make a living doing it I'll have to pass off at least some of the reins to someone else at some point. I've been scouring the internet for tools/software to manage the workflow of each show that I put together but everything I run into either doesn't do what I want it to do or is built for companies of 100+ people working on big-budget projects. I really want something in between those systems and a standard "to-do" list, so I came here hoping someone could point me in the direction of what I'm looking for.
Basically, I want to create a template "to-do" list where once certain things are completed it automatically creates the next "step" as a task with the appropriate deadline - some tasks will need to give an option once they're "due" to either re-do them or mark them as completed, and some things will only need to be done once. I can use this template and create it every time I get a request for a show, and then just follow what needs to be done for all of my shows on that particular day, regardless of what stage they're in.
I'm at the point where I might just build what I want in excel, but I am not underestimating the automation and "looking nice" part of it in how likely it is to work long term, so I figured I'd look here first.

I just thought it was a little bit weird. Is that a thing? Do people get a kids car with the purchase of a real car at a dealership or is that just something they did for the show?
