That's not to say what's here is bad, it's actually quite good, it's just very, very different from what longtime fans expect. If these games carry a pedigree greater than their excellent music and cutting-edge visuals, it's their second-to-none platforming controls. Even in spite of that, Jungle Climber's tracks are cheesy and generic they sound like they'd be more at home in a third-rate '90s JRPG than a Donkey Kong title.īut a DK title is more than just visuals and soundtrack. David Wise did great work for the series in the past, and not having him involved with Jungle Climber leaves a void in this game. Donkey Kong games are fairly well known for their excellent soundtracks it's impossible to mention the Donkey Kong series without Aquatic Ambiance or Stickerbrush Symphony coming to mind. One area, however, in which Jungle Climber differs is its music. Visually, DK: Jungle Climber is familiar as well it uses the same art style as Donkey Kong Country before it, a welcome departure from the 2D, hand-drawn feel of King of Swing. Aside from the addition of pegs, many franchise staples are there - cannon barrels line most of the stages, and there are underwater worlds to explore as well. Level design isn't quite up to the standards Rare previously set up for the Donkey Kong Country series, but Paon did an excellent job crafting levels that feel familiar to longtime fans. There are variations throughout, and at times Jungle Climber can still shine, but this is still a game from 2007, and in 2015 it feels like it'd be much more at home on a portable or smart device, most certainly not on Wii U. Others, however, are much more straightforward affairs, simply requiring you to climb your way to the goal by about stage four of the campaign's seven total stages you'll have seen it all. Some levels are incredibly interesting, like one in particular which requires you to roll a large wheel made of pegs up a hill by keeping DK on its outer edges. Along the way they encounter an increasingly difficult series of challenges. DK and crew set out to help their new comrade, a sentient alien banana named Xananab, recover the crystal bananas. Rool has absconded with - what else?- crystal bananas. Standard movement is handled via the d-pad everything else, however, is completely different.ĭK: Jungle Climber is set against an all-too-familiar narrative. The most unique - and interesting - thing about DK: Jungle Climber is its control scheme, which is lifted from its GBA-based sibling, DK: King of Swing. Unlike previous entries in the venerable Donkey Kong franchise, DK: Jungle Climber takes a fresh look at the series by focusing on swinging and timing more than precise platforming. What do you get when you throw away an established series' playbook and try for something new? You get DK: Jungle Climber.

![]() You can now ty[pe in your own values for Positions X/Y/Z inside the property menu. Made skipping invalid objects optional. Removed the time reset when opening object preview menu. Fixed crash when you build outside of map limits. Added ability to teleport while inside a car. Updated Italian and Japanese translations, thanks to PaVI and Shibaneko respectively. Fixed objects spawning in incorrect positions sometimes. Fixed culture settings when inputting position coordinates. Added logging when map editor fails to load a map. Added new marker properties: Mark as Loading Point, Mark as Starting Point, and Only Visible In Editor. Added map metadata information such as name, author and description. Added a new file chooser to the load menu, so you can select a file without needing to type the filename. For example, query "heist AND prop" will match prop_heist_carrier, prop_dlc_heist etc, and query "barrier OR barier" will match both prop_barrier and prop_barier. Improved search: you can now use AND & OR keywords for searching. Updated the Russian translation thanks to MMK_033 Quickfix for rotation transferring when copying an object. Hotfix for Community Races incompatibilities. Please note that there appears to be some kind of issue with non-english characters, if the description doesn not add an automatic new line, you'll have to add a ~n~ character to create a line break.

This is a tool reminiscent of MTA:SA Map Editor days. ![]() Red light therapy has also been shown in many studies to promote better muscle recovery when used before and after exercise. For this reason, mitochondria are often the targets of cancer-fighting drugs. Mitochondria also play an important role in helping cells die naturally, which is vital when we’re talking about abnormal cell growth, which results in tumors. The role of Mitochondria in cellular respiration through the production of ATP is a pivotal one for our well-being. They also produce essential chemicals that your body needs to function, as well as break down and recycle waste products that would be otherwise harmful to your body. Thousands of studies have shown remarkable results on everything from muscle recovery and collagen production, to promising signs of relief from chronic illnesses such as Lyme disease and even diabetes.īut generating energy isn’t the only thing mitochondria are good for. Research has clearly shown that red and near-infrared (NIR) light are powerful wavelengths that can effectively treat a wide range of conditions and deliver impressive health benefits. Red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT) and photobiomodulation, is a safe, natural therapeutic method with an incredible array of health benefits. Stimulating energy in cells by exposing them to wavelengths in the red and near-infrared light spectrum can amp up important biological functions. Red light therapy as a practice involves exposing the body over a period of time to specific wavelengths of light, the most effective of these being the 630nm to 660nm (red light) and 810nm to 850nm (NIR light) range. ![]() The opposite is also true: Cellular energy is what helps a body thrive-not only enabling it to undertake its day-to-day functions but also perform better and even heal faster. Underperforming mitochondria have adverse effects on the body. One of the major functions of ATP in cells is to shuttles its bonded energy to places within the cell where and when that energy is needed for various activities. Often referred to as the energy currency of mitochondria. Mitochondria produce a molecule known as adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which contains energy within its chemical bonds. Found in all forms of life, ATP is often referred to as the “molecular unit of currency” of intracellular energy transfer. muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, chemical synthesis. Helps in the anti-aging of skin cells with the production of collagen.Īdenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a complex organic chemical that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, e.g. 11.394 Joules/cm2 (189.9 Mw/cm2)Īctivated ATP stimulates white blood cells that work to repair damaged tissues, and increases collagen production that builds elasticity in the skin and can aid in wound healing. Infrared light has the potential to trigger the production of endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that can reduce pain in the body. ATP activates endorphins that provide soothing relief from chronic and acute pain. This allows ATP to promote rapid action by utilizing the body’s own defenses. Red LED therapy has the ability to stimulate the production of ATP, an important source of energy in body tissues. RED light therapy provides relief from pain and discomfort without negative side effects. I used 3ml syringe with blunt needle to apply the Epoxy.The LED Light Bed triggers the body’s own defenses, and actually treats the source of pain rather than mask the symptoms. The conductive epoxy I used is Aom Adhesive 902LP 2.5gram single use package.\Ģ.5 grams may not sound like a lot but I have always had excess. So next time I will first fill the seams between strips with paint or some sort of glue. Fortunately all the shorts burned out on their own without doing any visible damage. I believe some of the epoxy got between the strips made contact at the edge and shorted. The only problem I have had with this method were short circuits. ![]() Overall this method can be done in less than 30 minutes.Īnother alternative is to solder 2 wires to 2 or 3 strips and then run conductive epoxy on top of the strips to multiple contacts. I then used a syringe to connect the tape to the appropriate terminal on the strip. On strip will be connected to the positive terminal of the power supply and the other will be connected to the positive terminal. ![]() Place a strip of foil on each side of the LED array right next to the electrical contacts. You can use aluminum foil tape and conductive epoxy to do the wiring in fare less time. The first thing I learned is that making all those solder connections takes a lot of time and the end result was never as neat as i wanted. I use the lights to help my plants grow (I get no sunlight inside during the winter and only morning sun in the summer. I have done this on the bottom side of glass shelves. ![]() Users use their device for basic tasks like email, SD video streaming, and social media should aim for results of around 2 Mbps when they run the test. Your ideal Internet speed test results depend on what you primarily use your Internet for. What should my Internet speed test results be? Therefore, to get a good idea of your bandwidth burst averages, run the test at different times of the day. While a low ping rate is not necessary for day-to-day surfing, if you enjoy online gaming or frequently download large files, a fast ping time is very essential.īe aware that your test results may vary at different times in the day due to network congestion. Ping rate is the best test of quality for your Internet connection the lower the ping number, the faster your link. Known sometimes as latency or lag, ping is the millisecond measurement it takes for a small piece of data to travel from your computer, reach its location, and travel back to you. While upload and download rates are important, with a true Internet speed test, ping rate is also tested. The broadband speed test reverses to check the time your link takes to download onto your computer.Īt the end of the broadband speed test, you’ll be able to see a graphical representation of the average rate of data exchange for both your upload and download speeds. ![]() When you start an Internet speed test, the website will transmit a file and determine the duration required for that file to reach its destination. Use an online tool to do your speed test on the Internet. An online Internet speed test or Internet speed test app can determine whether your ISP and Internet plan are doing the job. If you pay every month for high transfer rates and minimum packet loss, but you can’t load basic sites, this is an issue. If you get fast speed test results that line up with past results, then you know the problem originated from the website.Ī broadband speed test helps users determine if they’re receiving the quality of service they’re paying for from their Internet service provider (ISP). If you experience slow loading speeds on a frequently visited website, do an Internet speed test to determine whether the issue is your modem or router’s connection or the server where the website resides. It can help determine if you have a problem with your broadband link. The Internet speed test works as a tool as well. TCP/IP degrades over distance, so the server closest to you has been automatically chosen when performing a test. It measures the Internet connection speed, upload speed, and download speed from your location to the location of a chosen test server. It shows you the fastest download and upload speeds as well as burst rates. What is an Internet speed test?Īn Internet speed test measures your device’s connection speed and quality. Use the tool to test your Internet speed and determine the quality of your Internet connection. However, for those who frequently game online, make video calls, or download large files, it’s especially important to figure out what the issue is, beginning with an Internet speed test. Slow Internet speeds are annoying for any user. ![]() They follow the modern Phase II Clone Trooper armour template introduced in 2020, but with purple prints. These Legends clones have purple highlights to match Mace Windu’s Lightsaber colour, and look pretty unique. Next is the new 187th Legion Clone Troopers, two of which are included in this set. Mace Windu is armed with his iconic purple lightsaber. Hopefully dual-moulding becomes more widely used too – dual-moulded white boots would have been good on this figure. His arm printing is also a welcome surprise, and it’s great that arm printing seems to slowly become more common in Star Wars sets. It’s great to get Mace Windu in a relatively affordable set, especially with his fan-favourite status. However, the torso has been updated to remove the sand from the Gunship variant, and he now has his Clone Wars-era arm print. This minifigure is very similar to the one in the UCS Republic Gunship set, even using the same head and leg pieces. The first minifigure in the set is the exclusive Mace Windu minifigure. Unfortunately the sticker sheet was very bent in the box for my set – I wish LEGO would find a way to better protect the stickers. Inside are three bags numbered 1 and 2, plus an instruction manual with the old-style cover (not the newer simplistic white design). This means you don’t have to destroy the box to open it – I wish this would be standard on more sets. Interestingly, despite being a relatively small set, the box uses tape instead of thumb tabs which is welcome. The back of the box has an alternate view of the model and its play features. The front of the box shows the tank in action against a desert backdrop. ![]() Check out Vaderfan’s previous reviews, 75336 Inquisitor Transport Scythe, and 75333 Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter, and be sure to follow him on Instagram, or read some of his other guest reviews. This is a guest review from our resident LEGO Star Wars correspondent, vaderfan_2187. It is certainly a slightly strange choice of sets – a vehicle that has never appeared in a Star Wars movie, coupled with some non-canon Clone Trooper designs should make this a hard sell, but so far it seems this set has been pretty well-received! Well, is this set any good? Let’s find out! This unusual and unexpected set divided opinion, with some excited over the new clone designs while others expressed disappointment at the design of the tank itself. What makes this game special is its ability to weave elements of Star Wars through the atmosphere and mechanics while still maintaining the feel of an Angry Birds game.When images of 75342 Republic Fighter Tank were first released, they prompted a split reaction from LEGO fans. Overall, Angry Birds Star Wars is every bit as charming and fun as any of the other previous titles. There's also Path of the Jedi, which adds a bonus 40 levels for $1.99. Most of the games 80 levels take place in two locations: Luke's home planet of Tatooine and a pig-shaped version of the Death Star (a free update featuring the ice planet Hoth is in the works). Levels feature a mix of concepts from the original Angry Birds as well as Angry Birds Space, as players carefully aim shots to pull their bird within a zone of gravity. The sounds are spot-on, from the screeching beeps of a R2-D2 flying through the air to the roar of a TIE Fighter zooming across the sky. The attention to detail is amazing, and it goes beyond just the game's impressive physics. ![]() AMAON KLIPPED KIPPAH SERIESĪs part of my series about the “5 Things You Need To Know To Create A Highly Successful E-Commerce Business”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jonathan Kaweblum. Jon Kaweblum is an architect by training and while studying for his architecture degree, he coached a boys’ varsity basketball team coach at a Jewish day school in Florida. One season, the Florida High School Athletic Association decided that the boys could not use standard metal clips or bobby pins to keep their yarmulkes on their heads while they played, as was required for safety reasons by school policy. Before it became a major media issue, Jon invented a yarmulke with clips built inside. Klipped Kippahs was born as a solution to this problem. In addition to being used with great success by his team at then Weinbaum Yeshiva High School in Boca Raton (Now Katz Yeshiva High School), over 400 schools nationwide now enjoy the many benefits of Klipped Kippahs as well. of the small knit yarmulke on my head, my orange corduroys and clipped hair. In addition to sports, Klipped Kippahs can be worn whenever a regular yarmulke is required, as a convenient and aesthetically appealing replacement to your yarmulke and clips. the most modern video recorders on which to photograph the proceedings. ![]() Klipped Kippahs are sold all over the world, both in bulk for custom orders and in retail quantities. Today, Jon holds four national and international patents, manufactures the patented yarmulkes with licensed MLB and NBA logos and leveraged this single item into a general custom event production company. desertcart is the best online shopping platform in the Portugal where you can choose to buy from the largest selection of Klipped Kippah products. Currently, in addition to the Klipped Kippahs, they also manufacture apparel, including management and fulfillment for the Olympic Israeli Baseball Team looking to participate as one of six teams in the upcoming Tokyo games. Can you tell us a bit about your ‘backstory’ and how you got started? Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! Before we dive in, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Because we not only clip kippahs to heads, we also connect identities to communities.

He particularly enjoys creating model portfolios that stand the test of time. Publications where he’s appeared include InvestorPlace, The Motley Fool Canada, Investopedia, Kiplinger, and several others in both the U.S. Will Ashworth has written about investments full-time since 2008. On the date of publication, Will Ashworth did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article. If you’re a really aggressive investor, I might buy a half position today and another half when it falls into single digits or if it starts climbing into the teens. I can say with confidence it’s not worth $40, or even $30.īut if Workhorse gets those 8,000 vehicles out in the next 12-24 months, I don’t think there’s any question it’s worth more than the $12.50 or so it’s fetching as I write this. I can’t say whether it’s worth $20 or not. If the USPS came out and stated unequivocally that Oshkosh was its dance partner, I have no doubt it would fall into single digits. ![]() We’re not quite there, but we’re getting closer. I suggested that it was a speculative buy under $10. I wondered if WKHS stock was a falling knife worth catching. As I said earlier, the only thing we’ve heard out of the Post Office is the Postmaster General’s confidence in the contract with Oshkosh.Īt the time, it was trading slightly below $15, well down from its February 52-week high of $42.96. The last time I wrote about Workhorse was after it lost the contract from the Post Office and its subsequent meeting with the USPS. And as Josh stated, it’s not as if the winning bid was from a novice truck manufacturer. I’m not saying that’s what’s happened, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. It’s possible that someone at the White House with a calculator figured out that Workhorse’s proposal was going to cost significantly more than Oshkosh’s. The second question gets to the heart of the matter. It needs vehicles on the road tomorrow, not the day after. The Post Office is replacing its vehicles for a reason. When you look at the situation from the perspective of the people at the Post Office making this multi-billion decision, the fact that Oshkosh could deliver a hybrid solution (pardon the pun) made it virtually impossible for government officials to overlook the practicality of their proposal.
![]() I forgot where or who I heard this from, but after I posted my report last year someone called my success a “flash in the pan”. It just took an eye-opening experience like a layoff to really see what was available for me and my future.” Success was not handed to me. For some reason, my 9 to 5 job was masking the fork in the road that has been there the whole time. The only lucky part about my journey was getting laid off in 2008, which opened up a whole new world opportunities for me.Īs I said last year in my first annual passive income report, “…my lay off was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Over the past year, along with a lot of deep thinking about where I am in my life and how I got to this point, I realized that luck has very little to do with it. ![]() That I'm just a random guy who got lucky when the stars aligned in my favor and success was handed to me on a plate. Some of you are probably disgusted (which is understandable) because it seems like all of this just sort of fell right into my lap.

The old Opcode Studio 5 LX could do this stuff very well and was 15 x 15, but it required Mac OS 9 to program it. The KMX MIDI Central lived in my studio for years and gave great 15 x 16 performance, but they haven't been made for decades and are hard to find - hasn't had one up for auction in years, and Ebay is dry too. I will post fast and dirty right now and can follow up with deeper research if need be.įirst of all, off the top of my bean, I am not aware of anyone making a 16-port MIDI box of any kind any more. ![]() Several questions here with several answers. What's the best set-up for ease of use and accurate timing? Is it ridiculous to try and daisy chain 13-14 devices together due to midi delays introduced at each keyboard? Or should I use a "Star" configuration, with either a dedicated midi patch bay or should I use a midi thru box? Do you have a suggestion for a midi patch bay that would do the job? (Does anyone even make a 16 x 16 midi patch bay?) ![]() I'd like to be able to sync the various arpeggiators, and play the majority of the keyboards from the Midiboard.

Here's the harder part: I have a number of 80's era and newer keyboards that I now want to hook up via midi, to respond to my master controller - the Kurz Midiboard. (That part works fine.) No computer if I can help it, because I find it so often gets in the way of the creative flow. I wanted to try to set up a standalone system with an iPad running Cubasis 2.8, hooked up to a Steinberg UR44.
