![]() If you beat Shao Khan, though, you get a new set of hidden treasures, including a demonstration of every finishing move in the game. The AI in this game is just as brutal as UMK3 before it, so beating the game without either ratcheting the difficulty down or exploiting the AI as much as possible isn’t easy. As sad as it sounds, the biggest improvement to the gameplay is that you no longer have to unlock a cheat menu to actually pause the game. Supers? What are those? You can also enable automatic combos from the options menu, which makes performing chain combos as easy as mashing a button. When it fills up, you can… move a little faster and do a little more damage. There’s also a new ‘Aggressor’ meter, which fills up whenever you hit somebody, with more meter being gained if the opponent blocks. If you’ve already played UMK3, you’re not missing much of anything besides the new characters. And since there weren’t nearly enough ninjas as it was, you get a choice between a new male or female one, depending on whether you got the cartridge or CD version. Certain characters can become ‘klassic,’ which turns them into their MK1/ MK2 incarnations. You’ve also got the console exclusives Noob Saibot and Rain available for play, with Noob getting his new moves from the 16-bit UMK3 ports. While they use the same sprites, they at least have some new special moves, so they’re not entirely outclassed by the new cast. Baraka and Raiden also return from their absence in MK2. The biggest new inclusion is Johnny Cage, who got himself a new actor and a new set of sprites. This is also the first Mortal Kombat game that wasn’t released in the arcades, which eventually would become the default for the series.Įvery character who’s made an appearance in an MK game up to this point, playable or otherwise, is available for playing. The main draw here is that this is basically Midway’s crack at one of the “Dream Match” games SNK likes to do every so often. ![]() ![]() Trilogy is best described as UMK3 with more stuff attached to it, as it shares the same engine, gameplay mechanics, plotline, and almost everything else. But with the release of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Midway’s basically making an update of an update. UMK3was a big enough improvement to be worth it, especially with the re-inclusion of Scorpion and all of the other ninjas. It was reasonable enough that Midway would want to give the rather rushed MK3 some extra time in the oven. ![]()

![]() ![]() Many comics are a version of this but in Atkinson the discrepancy seems unusually extreme. It’s come to be thought that, though a lord of misrule on screen, he’s no barrel of laughs off it. The real Atkinson has always seemed to be hiding behind that gurning mask. “When I caught Gerald in ’68 he was completely wild,” says his captor. In the sketch show created by John Lloyd, he played seething vicars, angry judges, raging superintendents and a furious gorilla. The last time there was anything approaching venom in his comedy was probably in Not the Nine O’Clock News in the early 1980s. No comedian has been less in danger of causing offence. ![]() It’s good, if profoundly odd, to find Atkinson on the barricades. In another unforeseen switcheroo, Atkinson has lately taken up cudgels against cancel culture, arguing in a rare interview to promote Man vs Bee that it is “comedy’s job to offend”, that “every joke has a victim. ![]() He genuinely thinks it’s an amazing place and he wants to do a good job of protecting it. What we were trying to get right was that, when he arrives at this rich couple’s house, there was no hint of envy. This was all part of the plan, according to Man vs Bee scriptwriter Will Davies. When was the last time that happened? Zazu in The Lion King? The tongue-tied vicar in Four Weddings and a Funeral? At the age of 67, Atkinson is playing someone you could tolerate meeting in real life. That famous face, so fitted to portray low cunning and absurd smugness, here softens into sincerity, even decency. But the bigger difference is that, unlike Mr Bean or Edmund Blackadder, or Johnny English or that copper he played in The Thin Blue Line, Trevor is quite likeable. The show goes out on Netflix in bite-size segments of 10 minutes, which marks a change of rhythm for Atkinson. It goes without saying that everything that can go wrong will go wrong, thanks to the titular insect which buzzes onto the premises at the same time as Trevor. Placed in his care are such valuables as an original E-Type Jag, a mobile by Kandinsky and a priceless illuminated manuscript. In the comedy series, Trevor has been hired to house-sit a tech-enabled super-home while its disgustingly wealthy owners go on holiday. Moving his face is what he does, and he’s doing it all over again in Man vs Bee. “Are you doing that thing again,” she asks, “when you don’t move your face and pretend the line’s frozen?” If there’s one thing you can say about Rowan Atkinson, it’s that he moves his face. There’s a moment in Netflix’s Man vs Bee when Rowan Atkinson – playing an accident-prone beta-male called Trevor Bingley – is on a video call with his ex-wife. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mutable Qualities of Gemini The Adaptable & Flexible Geminis Welcome Change Geminis are thus said to have a dual personality and their strength lies in their versatility. They were then transformed into the constellation Gemini. When the mortal Castor was killed, Pollux, being a demigod, asked Zeus to let him share his immortality with his twin to keep them together. They are said to have been born from the same egg. Castor was the mortal son of the king of Sparta and Pollux was the divine son of Zeus. According to Greek mythology, the twins were said to have different fathers. Gemini is depicted by the twins Pullox and Castor. Geminis, like Libra and Aquarius, belong to the air sign. Her sex life is a story to be told, but only to those who are ready to listen, usually the one specific person she has finally managed to build true intimacy with.If you're born between May 21 and June 21, you belong to the first air element of the zodiac - Gemini. Each zodiac sign represents the four elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. Impressed by partners who can teach her new things and have insights that she sees as ingenious. However, once she finds a man who can satisfy her sexual and intellectual desires, she will be the one to suggest starting a family, marriage, and growing old together, although this might happen in an unconventional way. This woman is enthusiastic, witty, intellectual and soft spoken and at the same time she is extremely open minded and always ready to meet someone new.Īlthough a Gemini woman is usually not very shy, getting into a serious and committed relationship with her will take time and a lot of patience. This is a result of her natural tendency to stay safe and keep a distance from other people, always prepared to vanish into a carefree love story. She can be passionate and gentle at one moment and then aloof and distant the next. If you want to attract a Gemini woman you'll need to be able to keep up with her dual nature. As with all things in life, he needs new experiences, verbal contact, and freedom of expression when it comes to sexual relationships. Sex with a Gemini man can be a wonderful experience, but if his partner is unwilling to experiment, he may get bored. Despite his eloquent nature, this isn't a man ready to discuss emotions much, and he will prefer them to be shown rather than spoken of. ![]() To win his heart, one has to be fun, stimulating, adventurous, laugh at his jokes, and be willing to learn from him day after day. This man is impossible to cling to and needs a partner who gives him enough freedom and space, along with mental stimulation and variety. Their personality is marked by dualism, making them inconsistent yet clever, and amazingly attractive to others. Gemini men are naturally chatty and flirtatious, and you can meet them at public gatherings, conferences, and even traffic jams. He is adventurous and humorous, making him the perfect partner for someone who is energetic and dynamic, and in search of laughter and fun. They need strong grounding to keep their finances in check and organized, giving them a sense of confidence and security that they often don't even know they need.Ī Gemini man is enthusiastic and full of life, never disappointing with dull moments. Even though they might believe that money is just a necessary evil, most Gemini's will not spend much time thinking about where to earn it or how to spend it. They need a workplace that won't keep them stuck in routine or a repetitive task that goes not allow them to shine.ĭeciding between practicality and pleasure can be a difficult choice for Gemini. They are crafted for multitasking, problem-solving and bringing new ideas to life. Any career that gives them the opportunity to communicate freely while keeping them on the move and busy at all times is an excellent choice. The best careers they can choose are those of traders, inventors, writers, orators, preachers, and lawyers. They are skillful, inventive, and often very smart with a need for a dynamic working environment and a lot of social contacts made in the office. ![]() In constant need of intellectual stimulation, the most suitable job for a Gemini must be challenging to their brain. ![]() ![]() The exact line where advisories or warnings are issued by the National Weather Service varies region to region, generally a higher bar in southern and arid western parts of the nation, lower in northern and cooler higher elevation areas. Heat advisories and excessive heat warnings are based on the heat index. (With less moisture in the air, like the last few days, this perspiration-evaporation process works more efficiently, and the air can “feel” a little cooler than the actual temperature, hence a lower heat index reading than the air temperature.) When the air contains more moisture, evaporation becomes more difficult, and the body’s cooling mechanism is slowed the hotter and more humid it gets. But this cooling mechanism only works to maximum benefit if sweat droplets can evaporate. When temperatures rise, the human body sweats as a cooling mechanism. Thank you for your support of Cardinal News. Support our journalism by making your tax-deductible gift now. The idea behind the heat index is to provide a number for an approximate temperature as it affects the human body – or what it “feels like” – under various combinations of temperature and atmospheric moisture content. The cloud appears to be similar to lenticular clouds that often form in wind flow over mountains, though considering its proximity to towering cumulus clouds nearby, possibly could be a pileus cloud, formed by rapidly rising air, that broke off from the cumulus updraft. Matt Weddle captured this two-deck “flying saucer” near Rocky Mount in Franklin County on Wednesday, July 5. will circulate Canadian wildfire smoke in a way that we do not see much of it for several days.) This general pattern may hold most of the rest of July. (For now, it appears the trough in the north-central U.S. Cold fronts and disturbances moving southeast from the north-central states will increase those storm chances on occasion, and perhaps bring brief breaks from the hottest weather. that will bring some hot, sticky days with scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms bubbling in the afternoon heat. Squarely under neither the hottest nor coolest air, Southwest and Southside Virginia will be at the edge of lesser high pressure over the Southeast U.S. We got a taste of it the past few days with some cooler mornings and not-humid afternoons, but the cool air will not overspread our region for longer, as appeared possible looking ahead from last week. ![]() Meanwhile, the core of cooler air will set up in an upper-level trough over the north-central U.S. The core of “heat dome” high pressure will park over the Desert Southwest, with many 110-120 temperatures, slightly hotter than normal highs there, even pushing toward 130 in Death Valley, California. That will again bring about some heat index values that could approach 100 degrees in sub-1,500-foot elevation areas like the urban floor of the Roanoke Valley, Southside and most locations east of the Blue Ridge. Stickier air will be returning to our region on southerly wind vectors off the warm Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean the rest of this week as temperatures rise back into the lower to mid 90s across much of our region’s lower elevations, and well into the 80s in most of the higher ones. ![]() With dew point values in the 50s and relative humidity values in the 30-40% range, the heat index was at times 1-3 degrees below air temperatures that rose well into the 80s to near 90. Then, slightly cooler, much less humid air moved in behind a cold front early this week. Heat index has become a relevant topic for Southwest and Southside Virginia in July.įirst, after a relatively cool June, temperatures rose to slightly above normal for several days in early July, while dew points, reflecting moisture levels and factored with temperature into figuring relative humidity, climbed into the steamy 60s and 70s, raising heat index values a few degrees above the 80s to lower 90s (and a few mid 90s) temperatures. Or, even better, just plug numbers for temperature and humidity or dew point into this online heat index calculator. The four shades ranging from yellow to red represent increasing levels of danger, from minimal to extreme. Match humidity values and temperature to figure out the heat index in this graph. It would probably be simpler just to look at the chart below. ![]() ![]() ![]() The ingredients in Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier are shown above. Liquid IV was claiming that humans have somehow been drinking water wrong for our entire existence, and removed that statement after our article was published.īut what's actually in Liquid IV and is the formulation healthy or unhealthy? We'll discuss in the next section. This was untrue, and had no source or citation. Liquid IV’s blog post on ORS previously stated that “A little -known fac t about the human body is that we can drink all the water we want, but very little of that water actually gets absorbed and used by the body.” We don't understand why a liquid solution used specifically to treat individuals with cholera and diarrhea would be beneficial or even necessary in healthy adults. Liquid IV's website links to a 1994 medical review showing that ORS has been effective for treating individuals with cholera or diarrhea. Liquid IV’s formulation is rooted in a solution created to rapidly rehydrate patients with severe dehydration, usually caused by diarrhea, called Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). The brand even states this on their blog. We consider this to be a marketing claim and not a scientific claim. There is no way to “multiply” hydration, and not even an explanation of what that would entail on Liquid IV’s site. Hydration is simply the process of drinking water, or consuming water - containing foods like fresh fruit, to replace that lost during the day and maintain proper biological function. To understand why Liquid IV’s claim of "hydration multiplication" is questionable and arguably unscientific, we have to first overview what hydration is. Highly Questionable Health ClaimsĪs shown above, Liquid IV claims that their product(s) can provide "faster hydration than water alone" and that one stick "can provide 2-3x the hydration of water alone." We'll share our experience using Liquid IV during exercise, compare the product to other electrolyte drinks, and publish a price breakdown featuring the retailer that sells Liquid IV for the best price. In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more as we review the hydration multiplier claims based on medical research, analyze every ingredient in Liquid IV to give our take on whether the product is healthy or not, and also review the ingredients in Liquid IV Energy and Liquid IV Sleep. ![]() Liquid IV is an electrolyte powder company that makes a strange claim that their products "multiply hydration." The brand claims that one stick of Liquid IV has "3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks."īut are Liquid IV's health claims backed by legitimate scientific research? Do regular consumers even need "hydration multipliers"? Does Liquid IV contain any questionable additive ingredients? And how do real users rate its taste and effects?

Earlier, though, she was an employee of Carhartt, an apparel and gear company.The mayhem in the former gold-mining town of Yreka started near dawn Tuesday when a man was shot in the stomach at the Super 8 Motel and critically wounded. Currently, from what we can tell, Aundreah still resides in Oregon, where she happily works at the T-mobile Call Center and runs her own cosmetic lash line called Coconut Cutie Lashes. After all, in the end, the former would be the ones who’d be spending their lives trapped within four walls. I’m stronger now than I have ever been, and you are going to rot.” And it’s true – Aundreah is a warrior – because not only did she overcome her own fears, she is now also helping others do the same by sharing her story.īy appearing on the ‘Urge to Kill’ Podcast and shows like ‘Dateline,’ Aundreah wants the world to know that people who harm hold no actual sway over their victims, not for a long while, at least. “You thought you stole my life from me,” she said in court while Edwin did nothing but stare at a wall. And she made sure to tell Edwin that much herself during his 2019 sentencing for her kidnapping and carjacking case. Where Is Aundreah Elizabeth Maes Now?

While speeding down a highway in California, he took her cell phone and recorded a short video of himself, confessing to all his crimes and asking the police not to kill him. However, no matter what, Edwin did not harm Aundreah, nor did he let her go. There, when Edwin shot a man in the abdomen, Aundreah realized that there was a real possibility that she, too, might end up in a ditch somewhere. Aundreah’s Volvo broke down in Yreka, so the two of them went to a motel nearby to steal another car. He kept shouting at her until she put her car in drive and then instructed her to leave Salem, Oregon, and take the route to California. On July 25, 2016, Aundreah Elizabeth Maes was sitting in her car in a parking lot, uploading a picture of herself on social media, when Edwin Lara slipped in through her passenger-side door and pointed his wife’s 9 mm gun directly to her face. ![]() ![]() The official website of Flex Seal has stated that the Flex Seal sprays have been manufactured with cancerous compounds like Carbon Black and Silicon dioxide.For a comprehensive understanding of safety precautions and potential risks associated with specific Flex Seal products, continue reading and refer to the product’s safety data sheet.

It's better if you find an app that can do so much better until Adobe fixes these problems. Whether for educational or recreational purposes. ![]() TL DR I don't recommend AdobeDigitalEditions for anyone who wants to use this for ebooks. If there's a way you can do this in the future, that would be good as well. Even though AdobeDigitalEditions has a scroller that helps you jump through the pages, it doesn't indicate which page you're going to flip to. Especially if AdobeDigitalEditions has not loaded certain parts of the book yet.Īnother problem is that there isn't a simpler way to find a certain page. This happens less frequently with internet connection, but it can still happen. So when we were looking for a certain page in our ebook, AdobeDigitalEditions lagged every 10-15 seconds. When you flip through pages too much, it starts to freeze for a while before you can flip the pages again. The main problem is that it lags and stops a lot if you are using it offline. There are problems that me and all of my classmates mentioned while we were using AdobeDigitalEditions. In the future it could if Adobe puts in the effort.

I was a big fan and user for many years of Neosoar another DRM e reader.
