![]() Collecting more Gold Bricks can also allow access to larger worlds, and there are four obtainable sizes that require 10, 25, 50, and finally, 80 Gold Bricks to be unlocked. The “Find a Random World” option requires 10 Gold Bricks to unlock, while the “Create a World” function requires 100 Gold Bricks to unlock. Gold Bricks play a crucial role in accessing several features on the Map. The Galaxy Map shows the worlds you’ve been to, the world you’re on, and the worlds you’re yet to explore. Free Build Mode is especially useful for advanced players, as it lets you use and switch between all the tools without having to open the game wheel and provides some additional options that can help with more accurate placement.Īnother integral feature of LEGO Worlds is the Galaxy Map. These tools, along with a character customizer, an inventory (which stores items used as tools or weapons), and the Free Build Mode, make up the eight-part game wheel. Finally, with the Build Tool you can build anything you want, one brick at a time, using a wide selection of LEGO pieces. With a palette of almost all LEGO colors ever produced, the Paint Tool lets you change the color of anything in your world to whatever you choose. The Copy Tool makes it easy to take copies of things you find and also to duplicate your own creations you can place these copies using the Discovery Tool. The Landscape Tool gives you the power to reshape the land around you by adding or deleting chunks of bricks. The Discovery Tool allows you to scan and collect new outfits, models, creatures, and vehicles, which you can then place anywhere. ![]() To help you complete these missions, there are five tools that you unlock as the story progresses. (In the play-list below I have included the intro videos to the game, so you get an idea on how it looks.) Additionally, you can unlock the character of the quest-giver once you finish their quest. ![]() These plans are also found in large chests. Once you complete a quest, you will often receive a “plan” for a prefabricated LEGO structure (called a Brick Build) from the quest-giver. Other quests, given out by random minifigures and creatures in the world, sometimes require items that are only obtainable from other worlds. Gold Bricks can occasionally be found in large chests hidden around the world, but usually players can acquire them by completing special quests given by minifigures holding Gold Bricks. In order to advance the story, players must collect a minimum number of Gold Bricks in each story-mode world. Players start at the lowest rank of Learner Builder, and they earn higher ranks by obtaining Gold Bricks. Unlike its beta version, LEGO Worlds now has a “story mode”, where the ultimate goal is to become a Master Builder, the highest builder rank players can achieve. But now, there are many more worlds to explore, and much more to do in them, thanks to the introduction of Gold Bricks. This is all the content the beta version had, and everything was in one massive world. ![]() So what is LEGO Worlds? The /Worlds microsite sums it up nicely: “LEGO Worlds is a galaxy of imaginative worlds made entirely of LEGO bricks where players can explore, discover and create together!” Thus, there are three basic principles to the game – exploring the land, discovering objects, and building. However, LEGO released the full, complete version of LEGO Worlds at the beginning of March this year, and today I thought to share with you some of the cool features the game has now. A beta version of the game was released, and while the game had a number of interesting concepts and tools, there was not a huge amount of exciting content to it. It was, at that point, a basic sandbox game, where players could explore seemingly endless terrain – essentially a LEGO version of Minecraft. You may have heard back in 2015 about a new LEGO game being made called LEGO Worlds.

Tangerine? Pamplemousse? Whatever electricity tastes like? An unannounced fourth flavor is also in the works, and who’s to say what that could be. However, it will come in three different flavors: original, black cherry, and watermelon. Unfortunately - thankfully? - the boozy Mountain Dew will not be caffeinated. Unlike any other hard soda, it will taste like a cocktail mixed by your preteen self.įor those hoping hard Mountain Dew would fill a Four Loko–shaped void in their bar cart, you’ll have to keep searching. Hard Mountain Dew comes in three new and exciting flavors with the same great quality and taste that Mountain Dew fans have come to love.

Who’s to say! ![]() They’ll learn to control their falls, reducing the potential for injury when they do come off their bike. Learning to fall is part of doing an inherently risky activity. Invest in a good helmet as well as knee and elbow pads and let them fall off their bike at slow speeds. A lightweight bike can make it feel effortless, meaning they’re more likely to stick with it. ![]() Start them off on a decent bike to minimise some of the difficulty of learning to ride. If you know what it’s like to ride a heavy bike that’s been poorly maintained, with sticky gears and no suspension, then you’ll also know the contrast of riding a really good bike. That way, you can ride at your own pace and the little one enjoys your ride but they’ve also enjoyed their own riding too. Let them ride around on that until they’ve burnt some energy, and then carry them on your bike (see point 1). Instead, you could just head to the pump track first. Head to a pump trackĬarrying a balance bike could be pretty tricky if they get tired whilst you’re out on a ride. Using their own power, they’ll feel a sense of achievement and learn to love their bike, giving you a great start to getting them off-road. A balance bike will get them used to being on their own bike as well as building confidence on two wheels. Using stabilisers isn’t helpful off-road, and it’s important that your little one learns good balancing skills. It’s part and parcel of learning to bike off-road, but sticking to slightly easier trails will ensure their experience is a positive one. The only downside is that if you crash, they crash too. This is a great option since it gives them a real perspective, as well as not adding much weight for you or increasing your turning radius. There are other options, like a front-mounted bike seat. It’ll be far bumpier for them in the back too. Trailers are pretty limited on mountain bike trails unless you’re sticking to the fire roads. Of course, you might not want to hit all those gnarly bumps and steep descents, but it’ll get them used to the sensations and thrills of mountain biking. ![]() It’ll help introduce them to the sport and develop a positive relationship with the bike. Fear not, there are so many different ways you can carry them with you during your bumpy rides. Maybe your little ones aren’t quite peddling with their own power just yet. So how do you start them off on the right foot? 1. But hardcore mountain biking probably seems a long way off. ![]() After seeing a jump from 11796 to 12974 on Time Spy playing with GPU overclocks I decided to try to crack 13000. I recently built a new computer (R5 3600x/RTX 3070) and was running some benchmarks to see how everything was running. If anyone would like to suggest various different overclocking related forums/blogs/websites please send your suggestions to the mods via the message the mods link or by clicking here.
Hannah's tapes are a manifesto of blame, effectively placing the responsibility of her life's tragic end onto others. The most heart-wrenching aspect of "13 Reasons Why" is its presentation of suicide as a form of revenge or retribution, a deeply misguided message for impressionable young minds grappling with their own emotional turmoil. And we don't think that showing that it hurts to cut yourself deters anyone, it just makes her seem more like a strong, determined woman of power who manages to overcome the pain. It makes suicide sound worthwhile, even if at a high cost. This is presenting suicide as your best option of dealing with a problematic life. "If you're alive and noone cares, they ignore you and hurt you then suicide will make everyone listen to what you have to say and the people who were mean to you will feel really ashamed and stop being mean." It took us a while to realise how the worst part of it was how it presented suicide as empowerment. The Goddess of Victory on your side is never a bad thing, though. If you are what you wear, this would have to be true for Sigma Chi. Like Demeter, don't get on an AGD's bad side. Demeter was usually sweet, unless you pissed her off like the time Hades stole her daughter, Persephone, she stopped the world from being able to make food. Squirrels love harvesting and you know who else loved to harvest? The Goddess of the Harvest, Demeter. When an Alpha Kappa Lambda goes out to the bars, I always wonder how they manage to make it home. Of course AKL, founded out of Christian principles, would pick Jesus. Hephaestus, the God of Blacksmith and Craftsmen, is all about hard work and hammers. ![]() The Goddess of Spring time and wife to Hades, Kappa Delta happens to be next to Delta Sigma Phi.įarmhouse members are all about hard work. If there were to be a Goddess into skulls, daggers, and the white rose, it would be Persephone. While Kappa Sigma may have a policy to always kick out people in fights, I get the feeling that they are experienced at that sort of thing. The God of War, Ares, was definitely the Bro of the Olympians. In my time here, many a DSig has been late, and it makes sense. This God of the Death definitely knows how to party. The God of the Underworld would definitely be for Delta Sigma Phi. Perhaps there is an owl God or Goddess I don't know about. ![]() Just like everything about Fiji, if they do have one, nobody would know. One of SAE's things is the Phoenix something that bursts into flame and comes back, so I figured Helios would have their back. While Apollo might have been the God of the Sun, Helios was THE sun. He was the God of the Wild, and we all know Lambda Chi can go wild. Pan, the God of Forest, seems like the perfect fit for Lambda Chi. After the University of Idaho chapter received the Alpha Tau Omegas house, I figured they must have Tyche on their side. Tyche, not a very known Goddess, was better known as her Roman counterpart, the Lady Fortuna, the Goddess of Fortune. In the actual myth of Hercules, she drove him crazy and made him kill his family. She may not have been the Goddess of Ice but she was known to give her enemies hell. Hera was Goddess of Women and known for her secrets. Kappa and Hera seem like the perfect match. His thing was ivy and dolphins so I guess he could go to Alpha Phi or to Tri Delt. ![]() There isn't any reason I give Diyonisus, the God of Partying, to Delt. You may have had anchors, but unfortunately you couldn't get Poseidon - Tri Delt already dibs'd it. With anchors and everything ocean, the goddess of Delta Gamma would have to be Amphrite, wife of Neptune and Goddess of the Sea. did I mention they like sunsets on the beach? Resting on their laurels and with colors Harvard red and old gold, it has got to be the sun god Apollo, who would be the patron of Phi Kappa Tau. ![]() ![]() Wizard framework (supports step-by-step dialogs).Storage management (saving and loading any kind of data).The platform offers reusable services common to desktop applications, allowing developers to focus on the logic specific to their application. Reinstalling an upgrade or a new release does not force users to download the entire application again. Any application can include the Update Center module to allow users of the application to download digitally-signed upgrades and new features directly into the running application. The NetBeans IDE bundle for Java SE contains what is needed to start developing NetBeans plugins and NetBeans Platform based applications no additional SDK is required.Īpplications can install modules dynamically. The NetBeans Platform is a reusable framework for simplifying the development of Java Swing desktop applications. In October 2007, Sun announced that NetBeans would henceforth be offered under a dual license of the CDDL and the GPL version 2 licenses, with the GPL linking exception for GNU Classpath. License: From July 2006 through 2007, NetBeans IDE was licensed under Sun’s Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL), a license based on the Mozilla Public License (MPL). For instance, Sun Studio, Sun Java Studio Enterprise, and Sun Java Studio Creatorfrom Sun Microsystems are all based on the NetBeans IDE. New features, such as support for other programming languages, can be added by installing additional modules. Modules also allow NetBeans to be extended. NetBeans contains all the modules needed for Java development in a single download, allowing the user to start working immediately. Each module provides a well defined function, such as support for the Java language, editing, or support for the CVS versioning system, and SVN. Modularity: All the functions of the IDE are provided by modules. Among other features are an Ant-based project system, Maven support, refactorings, version control (supporting CVS, Subversion, Mercurial and Clearcase). NetBeans IDE supports development of all Java application types (Java SE including JavaFX, (Java ME, web, EJB andmobile applications) out of the box. The NetBeans IDE is an open-source integrated development environment. Let’s take a look on the difference between NetBeans IDE & NetBeans Platform Now its clear from the above the what is the meaning of the IDE & Platform. In other words a platform is any base of technologies on which other technologies or processes are built. On personal computers, Windows 2000,XP,Vista, Linux and the Mac OS X are examples of different platforms. In computers, a platform is an underlying computer system on which application programs can run. Some open-source IDEs such as Code::Blocks, Eclipse, Lazarus, KDevelop and Netbeans, which themselves are developed using a cross-platform language (e.g., Free Pascal or Java), run on multiple platforms including Windows, GNU/Linux, and Mac OS. Many modern IDEs also have a class browser, an object inspector, and a class hierarchy diagram, for use with object-oriented software development Sometimes a version control system and various tools are integrated to simplify the construction of a GUI. An integrated development environment (IDE) also known as integrated design environment or integrated debugging environment is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to software programmers developers for software development. Most of the people don’t know what basically is an IDE. So I have decided to write a post on “NetBeans IDE & NetBeans Platform” In the last NetBeans User Group, Nagpur (NUGNagpur) Skype chat meet I’ve seen most of the members were confused between the NetBeans IDE & NetBeasn Platform. ![]() Difference Between NetBeans IDE & NetBeans Platform *Sterling silver chain with gold finish is not included.

Some believe moonstone to be a visionary stone, it is believed by some to eliminate tunnel vision and to help one achieve their goals. Moonstone was carried or worn by the ancient Romans. These same qualities were attributed to moonstone. Diana could endow one with love, wealth, victory and wisdom. The ancient Romans believed moonstone was a stone of love, revered by Diana, the moon goddess. Travelers carried moonstone for protection at night. Many ancient peoples believed moonstone had magical powers, and that these powers were amplified at times of a full moon. Moonstone is a stone that has fascinated man for thousands of years. Often moonstone will have a chatoyant flash or sheen to it. Rainbow moonstone is often white with a blue sheen or shine to it. It can come in several different colours, such as pink, blue, green, gold, and white. It is also said to help one emotionally and intellectually. ![]() Chalcedony is said to strengthen the body and mind and when worn will give the wearer a sense of clarity so they may decide what they like and don't like. As the flows cooled, these cavities allowed for mineral bearing solutions to enter and the combinations of these solutions along with heat, pressure and millions of years allowed the agate or chalcedony to form.Ĭhalcedony will come in several different colors including grey, blue, pink, green, orange, and purple. The volcanic lava flows left cavities filled with gas. Agates are believed to have been formed millions of years ago during volcanic eruptions. Green Chalcedony is actually a type of agate, which is a member of the quartz family of stones. It is also said to help clear stored anger, resentment, guilt and fear and will reduce stress and tension. Some believe the stone can cool a hot temper and enhance self-confidence and creativity. ![]() Rose quartz may be found in British Columbia, Canada but is better known from other sources around the world. It is also used in massive form to make candle holders, and it may be carved into unusual shapes by expert craftsmen. The stone makes beautiful jewellery once it has been cut and polished. The pink color is caused by traces of manganese or titanium and will range from a light to dark pink color. Rose Quartz with Moonstone paired with facet peridot.

Currently the firmware is responsible for keeping everything as organized as possible. That said, there certainly are best and worst case layouts for data organization on SSD media. A traditional HDD will fetch that same scattered file drastically slower, which was the original motivation for defragmentation. SSDs are exceedingly fast at seeking, so fetching a seemingly scattered file is going to be nearly as fast as fetching a file that is written sequentially. I would cautiously suggest that anyone using any SSD should disable automatic defrag on that drive and don't bother running it manually. For that reason, standard defrag tools will not make correct decisions about how to optimize the file system layout on an SSD. This is done to overcome the limitations of flash memory (eg. Solid state drives generally do not organize data the way that HDDs do, or the way the operating system is expecting them to. Unfortunately this answer isn't exactly straightforward. To add fuel to the fire, straight from an Intel SSD engineer:Ī. In fact, their numbers suggest that a HyperFast-enabled SSD will actually perform slower than one without the attached service. ![]() Forum members over at OCZ Technology ran benchmarks on HyperFast-enabled drives, and they claimed to see no performance improvement whatsoever. The company boasts reads that are 5.9 times faster and writes that are 19.5 times faster on the benchmarks it’s showing off. This reduces the overall number of write/erase routines that need to run and should lead to higher performance metrics and a greater lifespan. Defragmenting the SSD would only jumble the data around more, for a “sequential” file as seen by a software defragmenter doesn’t correspond to a sequential series of pages on an SSD block.Īccording to Diskeeper, its HyperFast technology makes sure that files are written to solid-state drives in a sequential order. An SSD’s firmware uses wear-leveling functionality to assign different locations for the data you push to the drive. The company claims that it’s trying to reduce an SSD’s free space fragmentation levels-but the “benefits” of solid-state defragmentation are nebulous at best. What does that mean? We crawled through Diskeeper’s white papers to find out, but still couldn’t figure out exactly how this new process speeds up a solid-state drive. |
