	RainbowGround  License: Freeware
	RainbowGround is a utility for wallpaper / Web background image creation. It produces periodic, tileable images based on user-given or randomly generated color factor values. It can save resulting images as Web background (*.jpg) or as Windows background (*.bmp). At the upper left corner of the RainbowGround window there is preview area of generated image. Sliders around it are controlling red, green and blue color factors. As you change their positions, resulting image is changing too. At the right there are brightness and contrast sliders. They also affect resulting image. Lock buttons are used to lock groups of sliders so that a) all sliders in the group are linked and moved together and b) locked sliders are not affected by Randomize button. Randomize button changes positions of all unlocked sliders including brightness and contrast. Small triangle buttons are Reset buttons for returning appropriate sliders to their initial positions. The Save button serves for saving resulting image to a file. Author: Dmitry G. Kozhinov| Date: 20-02-2002 | Size: 511 KB

	Interactive JPEG Optimizer  License: Freeware
	Interactive JPEG Optimizer is the premier solution for compressing JPEG images singly or in batches. The latest version is faster than ever, sports a brand new, more logical interface and even supports scanning! It allows you to visually see the effect of compression (something some expensive graphics packages expect you to do blind), with tools for cropping, resizing, controlling contrast/brightness and color balance - all while keeping an eye on file size and loading time for an average modem. Use Hotkeys to show and hide tool windows, view original and optimized images side by side - Interactive JPEG Optimizer never changes your original image; it always works with a copy so if you make a mistake you can start over from scratch! Tired of how long it takes to email photos to family and friends? Zipping the image helps, but graphics files, unlike plain text files can be enormous! This is strictly related to the image size and the compression algorithm used to originally store the file. Over the years, a variety of compression algorithms have been developed to reduce the size of the stored image without adversely affecting the image quality. Some of our competitors claim to take advantage of advanced compression techniques, such as variable compression, yet when we took a 63K Before image from one of our competitor's websites, we were able to achieve similar quality to their After image in under 4K - the best they could manage was almost 10K! Comprehensive online help walks you through the image optimization process step by step, clearly explaining every aspect of the image optimization process. If you need additional help Handy Productions offers free pre-sale and post-sale technical support to every user of Interactive JPEG Optimizer! This is the Must Have graphics utility for anyone who uses a digital camera, scanner, has a website or just has a lot of images on their hard drive - why not add it to your graphics toolbox today? It's FREE! Source available. Author: John King| Date: 28-12-2003 | Size: 1047 KB

	Near Death  License: Freeware
	Medical technology continues to progress at a staggering pace. Accordingly, countless victims of trauma and disease 'return' from states of 'near death' every year. This process is no longer deemed a miracle, when it occurs, rather it has become commonplace. It is expected. Though disdained by skeptics as hallucination, the phenomenon known as the 'Near Death Experience', or NDE, is nonetheless a reality for many millions of currently extant human beings. Whatever their true cause or meaning, many of these experiences share common themes. Many NDE's report a sharp contrast between the Dark and the Light. Often, the Light is associated with feelings of overwhelming peace and joy. Many NDE's report the presence of a Being of Light. Some report the presence of a Being of Shadow. Many NDE's indicate that the Light is blindingly brilliant, though its brilliance is painless. Often, a conversation takes place between the 'near dead' and the Being, whether of Light or Shadow. Often, a choice is central to the experience. Go? Or stay? Most NDE's describe an alternate reality that exists beyond the threshold of death. Though individual descriptions of this reality vary, most imply that it is a vast, eternal and sentient construct. While most NDE survivors report calming, reassuring experiences, a few speak of horrific, disturbing ordeals. Regardless of its nature, the Near Death Experience irrevocably alters all that survive it. Author: Publish-ME.com LLC| Date: 22-09-2004 | Size: 4882 KB

	TS-WIDI Pro  License: Freeware
	TS-WIDI Pro performs automated recognition of polyphonic music, stored in MP1, MP2, MP3, MPP, MPA, AIF, SND, AU, WAVE formats as well as audio CD tracks. In real-time mode it instantly converts music coming through the microphone or line input of your computer into a MIDI sequence. TS-WIDI Pro contains interactive Note Editor. Recognizing pre-recorded music allows converting digital sound to MIDI format. MIDI file takes hundreds times less space than any digital sound format, which allows you to use it as a melody for your web page or make a preview of your mp3 Internet music collection. As MIDI file is, in fact, a layout of music, you can change its arrangement in contrast to digital sound. Instruments, number of voices or melody itself can be easily modified using any third-party score editor, which allows creating remixes, variations and printing musical notation. You may even put the melody in your mobile phone! On-fly recognition is a process performed in real-time, without noticeable delay. Detected notes can be either recorded or played in real time, or both. Thus you can change instruments in real-time, for example, play the guitar and get piano sound. TS-WIDI Pro provides four different note detection algorithms. A number of filtering options allows to leave aside odd notes. Monophonic methods provide recognition of one (the loudest) voice in melody but with great accuracy. Polyphonic method transcribes several voices.

	Smart Gambler's Calculator for Windows OS  License: Freeware
	Smart Gambler's Calculator allows one to calculate the main parameters for fixed-size and fixed-fraction betting. The main input parameters are grouped into several groups. The first group contains data about the properties of a single bet: probability of winning the bet, and the payoff (prize-to-bet ratio). The second group contains parameters of the gambler's "comfort zone": bankroll, number of games to play (or number of bets to place), and desired profit or prize-to-win in these games/bets. The calculator shows the expected value (profit/lose in the long run) and standard deviation (variability) of this gambling or investment opportunity. For the fixed bet, the probabilities of reaching the goal and of losing the bankroll are calculated. For the fixed-fraction betting strategy, the optimal fraction (percentage) of bankroll is determined. In contrast to Kelly's system, in which it is assumed that a player is a risk-averse person (so not a gambler) and which is applicable only to games with positive expected values, this system has none of these restrictions. The optimality is determined in the following way. First of all, the optimal fixed-fraction bet should minimize the probability of ruin. In theory, if money were "infinitely divisible," the probability of ruin in fixed-fraction betting is zero. The second objective/criterion is to maximize the probability of reaching the established goal, and the third objective/criterion is to maximize the expected value of the player's bankroll, subject to restrictions set by the previous criteria.

	AWicons Lite  License: Freeware
	User interfaces are getting better and better every year. The most important part of any good graphical user interface is iconic graphics.
