Specially designed for tablets and phones Hardwood Solitaire IV breathes new life into your favorite solitaire card games with excellent graphics. The only niggle is the regular suggestions to splurge for DLC like card decks, avatars, and tables, but they’re not nearly as intrusive as the bombardment found in Silver Creek’s previous title.īasically, if Spades is your card game of choice, then stop shuffling around the Android Market and deck out your device with a copy pronto.Play a beautiful rendition of solitaire with Hardwood Solitaire IV! Hardwood Spades is undoubtedly a robust virtual take on the game that is ideal for playing online with other card sharps, and shines on powerful Tegra 2 devices. It’s a cute little novelty on Silver Creek’s part, but most online players seemed to ignore them in favour of faster play. There’s a simple lobby system showing Open and Closed games, along with quick text chat which you may find friendly yet slightly insular unless you’re willing to join the community.Īlthough there are Quick Chat options, you can also show pleasure or displeasure by ‘Fooming’ players – either sending hearts and kisses to thanks your partner (weird), or zapping rivals with lightning bolts, balls of flame, or freezing ice blasts. You get seven variations of the game bundled with Hardwood Spades, from the standard Partnership experience to the daunting-sounding Individual - Cutthroat Mirror, and they can all be played alone against the relatively robust AI, or online with the likes of ‘ATor圓6’. It’s pretty simple to learn the basics, while the intuitive touchscreen controls and smooth card animations also give a welcoming and authentic first impression. Collect ten ‘Bags’ and you lose 100 points, and often the match in the process. Guess right and you’ll get bonus points, but any extra hands won go in the ‘Bag’. ![]() The titular spades trump the other suits, however, and the real challenge comes from bidding on how many hands you’ll win in a game based on your starting cards. Working in pairs, you race to hit the target score by laying the highest card in a particular suit and winning hands. With AI controlled characters showing you the ropes, as well as bickering among themselves like old poker buddies, it's easy to pick up the rules and some of the standard tactics of the four player game. Spades is not the easiest game for newcomers to pick up, so the inclusion of lengthy well-presented tutorial is a step up from the text-based help screens of Hardwood Solitaire. When you're locked in a tense battle of wits with someone called 'ATor圓6' you know you're not playing Modern Combat.Ĭlearly designed for the Telegraph-reading crowd, Hardwood Spades is a stoic recreation of the classic team-based card game for Tegra 2 Android devices by Silver Creek Entertainment, developer of the strikingly similar Hardwood Solitaire. ![]()

7/24/2023 0 Comments Square kilometre array![]() The GMT, set to be complete in 2029, could produce images 10 times clearer than Hubble. The signal came from ionized oxygen in the galaxy MACS1149-JD1. Due to the expansion of the universe, the infrared light that had been emitted from this oxygen was converted into microwaves as it stretched. The furthest detection of oxygen in space was 13.28 billion light-years away and evidence of this was picked up by ALMA in 2018. This is a record that the telescopes have broken more than once. One of the groundbreaking discoveries made by ALMA was the most distant oxygen in space. This is essential for targeting the desired galactic areas. When this array is used in different combinations, the range of visibility varies. ![]() Collectively known as an astronomical interferometer, each of these antennas works together to create one image. (Image credit: Getty Images)ĪLMA consists of 66 radio telescopes, with 54 measuring 39.4 feet (12 meters) in diameter and the remaining 12 just 23 feet (seven meters). South African Large Telescope (SALT)Ĭhile's Atacama desert is cloudless most nights. This telescope discovered the most densely populated galaxy cluster. Concealed in insulated domes, the two telescopes operate at temperatures slightly below freezing to prevent heat from interfering with the infrared images. There are 36 mirrors that make up each telescope, joined together to make one large panel. The observatory is positioned near the equator and at the top of the dormant Hawaiian volcano, Mauna Kea. ![]() Some of the incredible imagery uncovered by this combination of apparatus include the birth of stars, which can produce a visible glow and also heat up surrounding gas that can be detected using infrared. Ground-based radar could be one of our best tools against asteroids, new decadal survey findsīy incorporating optical and infrared telescopes, the observatory produces clear images in the visible light spectrum, but also allows astronomers to see deeper into space using infrared.

He is still known by his sobriquet, The Blind Beak, though John himself made little of his blindness. John was committed as Henry to ending an openly corrupt system that victimized the poor. Henry was aided in his courageous crusade by his half-brother John Fielding. Fielding was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1748 and, from the inside, battled against the prevailing dishonesty in his profession. He entered the Middle Temple and, in 1740, was called to the bar. Henry Fielding (1707-1754) the popular dramatist and great novelist, was an improvident man about town who, on finding himself happily married, sought income and a more stable career. Almost alone in his age he realized that an Englishman’s liberty did not depend on slavish worship of the English Constitution, but could be lost in that way. This edition shows how Fielding introduced the English to the idea of what Pringle calls a “preventative police” and also showed “that it was possible for a state to have an efficient police force without becoming a police state. “For over a hundred years the people of London endangered (and in many cases lost) their property and their lives by refusing to establish a police force,” writes Pringle. Londoners, not trusting their government, seemed to prefer criminals to gendarmes. Robbery, rape and even murder occurred with astonishing frequency and casualness. London was a lawless city in the mid-eighteenth century. Hue and Cry is the Story of Henry and John Fielding and their Bow Street Runners. It’s another #WisdomWednesday! Today’s book is HUE AND CRY by Patrick Pringle. ![]() 7/24/2023 0 Comments Alola raichu surfin the electroweb![]() ![]() Like its pre-evolved forms, Raichu is able to learn Volt Tackle as a signature move. The main reason Raichu is rarely seen in the wild is because people prefer the look it had as Pikachu. Being the result of evolution via Evolution stone, Raichu is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in forests and woodlands. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. To keep from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity and stress. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up and its muscles become stimulated. Raichu can store over 100,000 volts of electricity. It also protects Raichu from its own high voltage power. Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from all its body and glows slightly in the dark. This lightning bolt is chipped on females. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. ![]() There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Raichu is a bipedal, rodent-like Pokémon. 7.7.6 By transfer from another generation.3.4 Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure.All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. In Alola, Raichu has a dual-type Electric/ Psychic regional form. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. And I was thinking Electric Seed Swoobat too - might as well take advantage of the terrain.Raichu ( Japanese: ライチュウ Raichu) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. And it's not dead weight even if you can't get it to set up.I haven't built a team around it, but it needs someone to set up the terrain. I know it's quite gimmicky, but I thought it would make it a decent sweeper, considering it also has ground coverage in Surf, and the +1 defense from Z-Celebrate can save it from a Pursuit or even Sucker Punch from Skuntank. (That would be a guaranteed 2HKO on AV Eelectross after rocks, for instance) (120 base power if the opponent has between 262 & 350 speed, 80 base power over that, ect.) So basically, terrain boost and stab included, you can *potentially* hit a 506 base power Electro Ball. You also get +1 in special attack and some extra bulk to live a potential priority move.As long as the Electric Terrain is active, Electro Ball will hit for 150 base power any Pokemon with 262 speed or less. Send in Raichu on a mon you know is gonna switch out and set up with Z-Celebrate. Mods may remove posts at their discretion.Ĭlick Here for All Links and Subs! Click Here to See the Wiki!

7/23/2023 0 Comments Fidelity netfits![]() ![]() So that means people talking about The Mandalorian for 10 weeks. When Disney launched its streaming service, it decided to drop things weekly. Netflix’s insistence on the binge model means it’s missing out on staying in the zeitgeist, it’s missing out on the old water cooler effect. Instead, Stranger Things will pick up one wave of fan theories about what the next season has in store, instead of weeks of the same. Now that’s a culture Stranger Things could’ve easily tapped into if all the answers weren’t as accessible as pressing “play next episode”. The fan culture of Stranger Things could be supercharged with a weekly release model. You couldn’t discuss spoilers because most people were not at the same point as you.Ĭompare that to something like Game of Thrones, which spawned an industry around speculation, fan theories and more as viewers obsessively combed through every detail to try and figure out what was coming next. Yes, it’s a spoiler-laden show and most people are half-decent humans so there is a natural reluctance to discuss the minutiae of the plot, but the binge model isn’t conducive to that communal experience. For a while there, it seemed as if everyone was talking about Squid Game.īut while people were talking about how good it was, generating excellent word-of-mouth, and where you can buy dalgona candy or Squid Game-inspired Halloween costumes, what people weren’t talking about, relatively, were the story or the characters. Netflix members streamed 1.65 billion hours that the Korean series in the first four weeks after release. ![]() It’s the buzz that matters and buzz is harder to attain especially when even the biggest and loudest shows seem to be a flash in the pan moment. As it filled its originals library with more titles an individual viewer wasn’t interested in than was, what made its shows buzzy became diluted.Īnd with dozens of new titles every month on Netflix fighting for relevance and attention against the dozens more premiering on Disney+, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime, AMC+, Stan, Binge, Foxtel and others, it’s no wonder that it feels like there’s “nothing to watch” on Netflix. Netflix wants to be everything to everyone to try and capture as much of the market as possible. Squid Game is Netflix’s biggest show in its history. It was revolutionary and it worked for Netflix for many years, especially when it was clearly the most dominant force in original streaming series.įor its early series such as House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, they benefited from the novelty of the approach and claimed the lion’s share of the cultural conversation. Netflix was right in the mix to understand that many TV fans wanted to immerse themselves in a show, without waiting a week for the next drop.Īs Netflix moved into streaming and launched its own original series, it would do something new, it would make every episode available all at once and let the viewer decide how and at what pace they wanted to watch it. You can watch your favourite shows for hours and hours, no longer beholden to commercial TV schedules or poor-quality VHS selections. When DVD box sets took off in the early 2000s, viewing behaviour changed. You have to remember that Netflix started life as a mail order DVD rental service to understand why binge-watching is at the core of its ethos. ![]() |
