Skyrim

On this day goes on sale Skyrim, of Bethesda .

It has been over 30 years since young people began to create computer fantasy games on systems originally designed for the calculation, data tables, and applications "serious". Those digital pioneers created marvels that allowed users primitive machines like the Atari, Commodore, Spectrum ... dream of other worlds, adventures, castles, mazes, and dragons.

As was the case with Morrowind, " Skyrim "comes from the region of the continent of Tamriel where is set the stage of the game. The northern regions of Skyrim are the cradle of humanity and of the empire, from which the imperial family line of Septim and the home of the Nords, a civilization with clear Nordic influence.

200 years have passed since the events of Oblivion, the rule has lost its power and thus, the control and influence over Cyrodiil . We thus find that Tamriel is a rather different with respect to the end of the third era. The nationalist anxieties in different regions has soared, and the life of the continent has been rocked during these 2 centuries, including the violent explosion of the Red Hill north of Morrowind, which has pushed many dark elves from their homes, or Umbiel the appearance of a floating city powered dreadful souls. The Elves of Morrowind have gained power and land, which has revived the old border conflict between them and Skyrim, a conflict which can only worsen own internal problems of the northern tribes, to enter into a civil war after the death of their King.

Amid the chaos, the Empire is reborn beating the disappearance of the Septim bloodline. And for this, to forge alliances with enormous sacrifices that will only increase the internal stresses and local resistance.

What's more, those with knowledge and responsibility to interpret the prophetic scrolls that give name to the series, the "Elder Scrolls", and reveal the signs of an old prophecy that seems to hang over Tamriel: the advent of the devourer of worlds Alduin the Dragon God, who will bring a new rise of the dragon and with them, the fall of the empire and the humanoid races.

Because in an era prior to the creation of the empire, reigned supreme dragons and humans were little more than food. But from the cold mountains of Skyrim arose a lineage known as the "Born of the Dragon" (Dragonborn), chosen by the gods loved to face the dragons.

Equipped with skills that made them rivals, it was thanks to these heroes that dragons were almost exterminated, the clans were unified and their seeds begat the human empire under the strain of Septim.

The lineage of the "Born of the Dragon" there is almost no trace. The only carrier in the blood touched by the gods do not even know of their condition, and starts the game locked in a cold dungeon for a crime not important (in the purest tradition of Bethesda). After his escape, during which he created the character, should unite their people, discover the ancient legacy of his race, and deal with the dragons to prevent his ascension to power.

But not everything has to be so serious ... so I leave one of the best humorous video I've seen in a long time ... we will not take very seriously the world of Elder Scrolls ... for it is graphically very impressive, however great and interesting it may seem to the world created by the folks at Bethesda .... I?

Târríen map

West

I'm envious. I admit it. This statement as sincere in my inmost sin can surprise all and sundry, but I must be honest. I need it. I envy the technique of Tear to create the most spectacular map of the West that I ever seen.

And that the interactive have been carefully worked on HBO's fine. All must admit.

But, as at other times I have thought (I admit that I tend to be envious when I see a genius), the truth is that this envious has led me to improve ... And after seeing the map you made Tear I must confess that I could only try to make one of Târríen for myself ... and I say try because I have to admit that Târríen map of the continent where the action takes place in my novel " The Path of the Dragon "I have not been so well as he.

In addition to this map, Tear gave us his vision of how it would compare Europe with the West. And, as with the original physical map that you have seen Tear arrriba, I liked the idea ... So I get to work and did my own, and I made a map giving my version of how it would compare with Europe Târríen and make clear the size of the continent where he spent " Way of the Dragon ".

At this point many may think ... and how you created Tear, "just" a hobbyist, this map of the West as impressive? Here you have the tutorial of Pasi has followed (and I, P), and can also be found on page Cartographers'Guild along with many information, maps, etc..

Throughout the web there are many other maps of the West more or less complete and colorful (I put some examples to judge), but I think Tear is the best ... by the way, the last, politician, is also his .

If you are interested in the subject, and I can guess what I do because you're reading this, you can find more information in " The Citadel ".

Book Restorer ™ enables the deployment and retrieval of all images in a book, digitized with a scanner.

During the phases of import and export, you can select any of the following formats: TIFF, JPEG, BMP, PDF or PNG to optimize their files according to the intended use.

The Book Restorer ™ architecture allows to simulate the structure of a book. Similarly, an automaton allows you to use restorative treatments and export as a background task.

The new version 4.0 of Book Restorer ™ marks a major step in the evolution of this product, which has become since its inception, the inevitable software tool for those who want to restore and even improve, in the most reliable, quality of the original digital documents.

Book Restorer ™ V4.0 again improved ease of use and accompanies the user with an efficient management and control of the tool, thanks to new attendees added. That helps the major steps required in the Book Restorer ™.

From the first seconds of using Book Restorer ™, the wizard of 'creating a book' to create the structure of your book to define page styles and blocks, sections and imported images while restoration associated routines. Thus, the Script Wizard (built into the creation of the book) offers predefined types of restoration depending on the desired result.

The Book Restorer ™ automaton has become more powerful, more autonomous.

Is interesting in the case of work consisting of several pages of similar appearance.

Regarding the image enhancement, 3 new classes of modules have been implemented:

The disappearance of fingers module will facilitate the handling of documents during the digitization, as it disappears automatically detected and the user's fingers on both sides of the margin of the book. This position will allow manterner volumes during image capture.

The polarity detection module, which applies more particularly to the digitization of microfilm or glass plates, automatically checks if an image is positive or negative and if it becomes negative.

The crop module has been greatly improved: using the wizard, you can split an image into several parts (horizontal or vertical), the manual trimming (cutting edges set by the operator) and auto-cropping.

While the Book Restorer ™ is able to import all kinds of images regardless of format, ignores this feature to directly import an image from a scanner. This can already be done with this version 4.0 of Book Restorer ™ that manages the TWAIN interface - communication standard to capture images as captured by certain scanners, digital cameras and image capture systems.

The program is in English.
