![]() ![]() This electric meat slicer allows you to cut slices up to 15mm thick. Due to this, not only is it easier to slice meat with this model, but it is just as easy to work your way through cheese, bread, and veggies too! Easy to Make Adjustments So, I can choose the blade that will best go with the food that I am trying to slice. One of the reasons that this is one of the best meat slicers on the market is that you get two blades for the price of one! While I have found that a serrated blade does well for most kinds of meat, a smooth meat slicer blade works well for thicker cuts. ![]() Slicer Dimensions: 14.2 x 9.6 x 10.3 inches.Not only does this mean that you get the exact thickness that you want but you are also able to cut a whole variety of meat, cheese, and veg with this meat slicer. It can go all the way from thin slices to 15mm slices. I also like that you can adjust the thickness of the slices on this food slicer. As a result, you can’t slide a plate or dish to catch the meat that is being sliced. In fact, the only problem that I do have with this meat slicer is that it is too close to the counter. Just to make sure that this meat slicer was versatile, I also tried slicing cheeses and vegetables and it cut through these too, without any issue. I was even able to slice some semi frozen meat, proving that both the blade and the motor were up to the challenge. This electric meat slicer cleanly sliced through everything that I threw at it. I tried everything from deli meat to brisket to see if this slicer held up its end of the bargain. I made to put this meat slicer through its paces.

![]() Arlo was challenged to a battle on the terms that he uses his past team and not his Shadow Pokémon, to which he accepted. On November 12, 2019, Candela returned to the original location where she last saw Arlo and found that he was still present. You will regret the day you took what was rightfully mine." When controlled, it provides warmth, but in the wrong hands, it burns. After all this time, you still haven’t changed. On Novem, Arlo sent the following message to Candela: Considering Blanche's and Spark's earlier encounters with the other Team GO Rocket Leaders, Candela and Professor Willow retreated back to the lab, seemingly unnoticed by Arlo. While researching at a field with Professor Willow, Candela spotted Arlo at a distance, surrounded by a large group of his Shadow Pokémon.

While crystals can help amplify the power of affirmations, it is still important to make sure you repeat your affirmations regularly in order to experience the benefits of them. It’s important to remember that the power of crystal affirmations comes from a combination of your intention and the crystal’s energy. Then sit with the energy of the crystal for a few more moments before opening your eyes. Once you feel connected to the stone’s vibrations, take a few deep breaths and recite your affirmation out loud or in your head. Take some time each day to sit down in a comfortable spot and hold or place your chosen affirmation crystal on or near your body (for example, between your eyebrows, on your throat chakra, or heart chakra).Ĭlose your eyes and focus on your crystal, allowing its energy to fill you up. ![]() Once you have chosen the right crystal for your affirmation (or vice versa!), you can start using it in your daily meditation practice. If you need some inspiration, you can choose from the list below to get started. You can then find the corresponding crystal that carries those vibrations. Or perhaps you want to focus on new beginnings and creating positive energy around this. Or have specific positive changes you want to focus on? How To Choose The Right Crystal For Your AffirmationĬhoosing which crystal to use for your affirmation can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be!įirstly, identify what kind of energy you want in your affirmation. On the other hand, if you want to increase financial abundance, Citrine is a great option since it helps attract wealth and prosperity into your life and helps you create the life of your dreams. The key to harnessing the power of crystals and affirmations is matching the crystal’s energy with the intention behind your affirmation.Įach crystal has its own unique properties and healing abilities, so it’s important to choose one that aligns with what you want to achieve.įor example, if you want to increase your confidence, Rose Quartz is an excellent choice as it helps promote self-love and acceptance and radiates the energy of love (I paired Rose Quartz with my Birth Affirmations when I was pregnant with my daughter – so beautiful and uplifting). You can do this by using tumble stone crystals (my favorite as they’re easy to carry around and nice to hold – just be mindful of small stones around younger children as they can be a choking hazard), and either creating your own affirmation based on the properties of the crystal, or you can choose from the list below. You can then combine this with the powers of crystal energy by paying attention to the properties of crystals, then finding the corresponding affirmations with the matching stone. This allows our subconscious mind to create new neural pathways, work through negative feelings (as opposed to hiding from them), and is an easy way to spend dedicated time working on our own mental health on a daily basis. The real power of positive affirmations comes from repeating them regularly. What Are Crystal Affirmations?Ĭrystal affirmations are the combining of crystals with positive affirmations, creating powerful tools to include in your daily practice.Īffirmations are short positive statements that we say (or think) to ourselves in order to overcome negative thoughts, create a positive mindset, and set our intentions. Whether you’re just getting started with crystals or have been a devotee for years, crystal affirmations are a powerful tool to help manifest your goals. Are you looking for a practical way to practice affirmations and mindfulness? Crystal affirmations are a unique blend of mindfulness, affirmations, and crystals. ![]() FB's top line of $33,671 million registered in the fourth quarter of last year actually beat market expectations by +0.7%, so Meta Platforms' recent quarterly earnings came in below the market consensus' forecasts because of higher-than-expected expenses. Meta Platforms' Q4 2021 diluted earnings per share of $3.67 as disclosed in its financial results media release came in -4% below the Wall Street analysts' consensus bottom line forecast of $3.82 per share. Meta Platforms last traded at $219.57 as of March 24, 2022, which suggests that its share price has dropped by -32% as compared to its pre-results announcement stock price of $323.00. FB Stock Key MetricsįB reported its Q4 2021 earnings on February 2, 2022, after trading hours, and the company's shares fell by -26% to close at $237.76 on the next day, February 3, 2022. But for investors willing to look beyond the company's expected weak financial performance in 2022, the current risk-reward for Meta Platforms is favorable as evidenced by its appealing valuations which justifies a Buy rating. Meta Platforms' 2022 forecasts aren't great, as FB is expected to see slower revenue growth and a decline in the bottom line this year. With the company's share price having corrected by more than a third since my earlier article, I assess FB's 2022 outlook in this latest article. My Buy investment rating for Meta Platforms, Inc.'s ( FB) remains unchanged as per my previous update published on Januwhich focused on the stock's valuations and share price outlook. That said, as the trend heats up again, we may see more investors start to think about such metaverse efforts in a more positive light - not as a cash sink but as a growth initiative that could help power some serious appreciation.Leon Neal/Getty Images News Elevator Pitch Meta may have been punished in the past for blowing billions on metaverse efforts. Further, it's not hard to imagine that many investors have stuck with Meta for its strong social-media business and its ability to monetize AI rather than its metaverse potential. In any case, the VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) markets look large enough that more than one winner will be minted from its rise over the next decade. Fintech innovators are feeling increasing pressure from the iPhone maker as it doubles down on its wallet ambitions. Of course, it's tough to compete against a proven tech behemoth like Apple. If it does, we might all hear about the Metaverse ad nauseam again, and that bodes well for the firms with skin in the game, most notably Meta Platforms. Many people that expect Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL) will unveil its mixed-reality headset at some point during its WWDC 2023 conference, which kicks off on June 5. Looking ahead, the Metaverse may be due for a bit of a comeback. Many investors may have dismissed the Metaverse in favor of AI as the trend to bet on over the past six months. June Could be a Big Month for the Metaverse Meta isn't just a social media or metaverse company anymore it's a serious AI contender. Regardless, I still think many may be discounting the potential for AI to re-accelerate growth over the longer term. The monetization possibilities seem tough to fathom at this juncture. Undoubtedly, Meta's AI roadmap is impressive. Meta seeks to launch a new AI chip called the MTIA (Meta Training and Inference Accelerator) in 2025. Indeed, many big software companies have been hopping on the hardware bandwagon lately. ![]() Meta is also getting into the hardware game, with recent news of the firm's plans to develop custom chips tailored for AI. Indeed, Apple's privacy-focused iOS updates, which initially cost Meta dearly, may be to thank for pushing Meta to innovate its way out of a mess. Regardless, it's hard not to be impressed by Meta's ability to innovate through trying times. ![]() Only time will tell how Advantage+ and other AI offerings help jolt Meta's growth. The suite leverages AI to create multiple ad variations to help advertisers find the one that best sticks with any user. The company's Advantage+ suite of automation tools could change the landscape of the advertising world once again. With the power of AI, Meta may be able to increase the value of its ads without having to track users across the internet. ![]() Tower defense games in general are a challenge performance-wise because you have a lot of characters on screen that need to be drawn, animated, and run AI. ![]() A bit more on the technical side, we’re leveraging a lot of new “under-the-hood” iOS features to provide the graphics and animation you see in the game. ![]() Since people tend to invest a lot of time in TowerMadness, this was really important to us. For one, we’re making full use of iCloud to let players carry their progress with them from device to device, and ensure nothing is ever lost. About nine months ago we cracked it, and set to work building TowerMadness 2.ġ48Apps: How has the evolution of iOS since the first game changed the development of TowerMadness 2?ĪK: The Apple Xcode tools we use to develop our games have been consistently improving over the years – but specifically for iOS, we’ve enjoyed leveraging a lot of new iOS features in TowerMadness 2. It took a long time to find a vision that worked. We’ve gone through a fair number of rejected design doc ideas that we ultimately decided would be too different, hard to play, or just not that fun. We did have a few “false starts” with TowerMadness 2, though. We’ve been fortunate to see them grow into massive franchises of their own, and each appeals to a different group of players with different expectations from games. In the years that went by, we developed and released Nuts! and Zombie Gunship. But in terms of releases, we had to go explore other ideas and grow creatively before we were ready to come back to TowerMadness and make a proper sequel. Our hope is to connect players with the game’s world in a deeper way than before, and we added some little surprises to this effect too, like funny descriptions for all the alien types:ġ48Apps: It's been 3 and a half years since the first title was released, how come there was such a significant gap between the releases?ĪK: Well, because of the constant updates to TowerMadness 1 we didn’t really feel like there was a “gap” for players. We spent a lot of time making them come to life with dialogue and sophisticated animation. So far there are two – Bo, a brave ram that defends your sheep against the first intruders into the flock and helps beginning players, and Xen, an old, wise, friendly alien that runs the tower laboratory to help you defeat the evil aliens. They were too perfect to toss out!Īnother big departure from the original was our emphasis on adding characters to the game. Oh, just two things – the muzzle flashes and the lock icons are the same. A revolutionary new 3D engine, brand new art, sound I don’t really think anything carried over from the original. We wanted to do significant new things and had to completely overhaul the platform in order to evolve to the next step. At some point though, we had to draw the line. ![]() I think this was a big part of why that game was a success – we kept it alive, listened to fans, and added more and more. There were 20 updates, and tons of towers, enemies, environments, and features added. What better font of knowledge than that of Co-Founder and CEO, Arash Kesmirian? We caught up with him to find the answers to our questions and more.ġ48Apps: What made you decide to release a whole new game rather than update the original TowerMadness?Īrash Keshmirian (AK): We’ve been building on the original TowerMadness for nearly five years now it went from having only four simple maps to over a hundred. Following the surprise release of TowerMadness 2 last week we thought it was the ideal time to find out more about Limbic Software's latest title, learn about some of the design process behind it, and discover just how it came to be.

Most sperm are not shaped right and they get lost or swim around in circles or just plain die before they get there. ![]() That can take hours or longer depending upon how well the sperm swim and how straight they go. Then it travels thru the tubes to where it expects the egg to be. The sperm leaves the semen within a few minutes and travels into the womb. Semen is what the sperm are in when they come out.

I actually like the smell now when I get a new mask, maybe because I know it's new.:) Q.placing them in a humidor? Seems to me that they won't achieve proper humidification if they're wrapped in plastic or stored in a sealed metal tube. Q:If you have a CPAP machine with a nasal mask, and it is new, does the smell of the plastic make you feel ill? Anyone have this experience, and what did you do about it ?

Per press materials, Corona is taking first foray into the world of non-beer drinks with the launch of Refrescas, a line of "flavored malt beverages." I'll admit that that wording threw me for a loop at first, because what even is a malt beverage? I did some research, and unlike my first impression, flavored malt beverages are not automatically classified as beers. So, when I heard that the company was trying its hand at a spiked refresher with a 4.5 percent ABV and three delicious flavors to choose from, I was stoked to find out more. Plus, squeezing a lime through the opening of the bottle always makes me feel like I'm on vacation. While I'm not a big beer drinker, I've always had a soft spot for Corona for its light and refreshing flavor. With tropical vacation-inspired flavors like Coconut Lime, Guava Lime, and Passionfruit Lime, these spiked refreshers sound like they'll be serving up all the summer vibes. With the popularity of low-ABV beverages on the rise, I was excited to see that Corona’s new Refrescas line is rolling out so soon to provide just one more option for thirsty customers. ![]() The finish leaves bittersweet whole lime flavor again softened by cream.When warm weather hits, I tend to gravitate toward lighter and more refreshing alcoholic sips to help keep me cool and pace myself throughout an afternoon of day drinking.

Corona Hard Seltzers are made in Mexico by Compania Cervecera de Coahuila. Today we are reviewing their first four flavors which includes Cherry, Mango, Tropical Lime, and Blackberry Lime. This may have been a great decision under normal circumstances, but with the Coronavirus stealing the headlines these days the Corona name isn’t seen by many as a positive. Like Bud Light, Corona has decided to use their very successful brand name to help launch their new line of hard seltzer. Corona Refresca is more comparable to the Bud Light Lime-A-Rita line. Refresca is a malt beverage with 195 calories that was launched with three flavors, Guava Lime, Passionfruit Lime, and Coconut Lime. This is completely different from Corona Refresca. ![]() Must admit when i first started off i found the weapons really lacking in damage and its probably why i opted for NC first as their weapons at least feel like they're doing something against the enemy. I think the hit marker (the red cross) is either bugged (or the damage done does not correlate with the marker like it should, aka cross shows but no damage being dealt) or it makes it seem like I hit the target a lot but in reality I only hit the target a few times because he is moving or side strafing (ADADAD) I still don't get why some enemies drop like flies and some take half a clip and are still standing. But that is because I am on a roof firing at an enemy who really is to far away. In fact I still have the same issues with Light assault. Still did after several hundred hours to be honest. With a light, I can't kill anyone unless they don't move and are not a heavy and don't shoot at me." In fact, I get more kills on infantry with my rocket launcher than machine gun. "it seems that even though I start shooting someone first, they always seem to kill me. ![]() I recognize the infantry examples you gave: It takes a long time to find a weapon you like and or to be able to use it effectively. There is a lot of recoil AND cone of fire. The infantry weapons are not exactly user friendly. Your not 100% invisible while clocked, it's merely a form of camouflage/concealment. SMG are class wide unlocks so if your low on certs, one of these can function as your CQC weapon. Medical kits are class wide unlocks but items like c4 or mines aren't. Weapons have recoil and bloom, learn how to manage both. Your frames can be shown by holding ALT F, not a tech savy so I can't help you with that. Upgrading medics tool is a must and I believe its only 691 or something certs (1+10+30+50+100+500)Įngineers can't revive maxes or turrets, you merely repair them when they're damaged, quick tip is your default turret is a pretty good piece of cover or firepower and you always have ammo pack by default even if you swap your utility to something like mines or med kits. Medics reviving is right click, left click is heal. But the most important part of light assault is his jet packs, gaining height and having the drop on your enemies makes you a force to be reckoned with. Light Assault requires you to think differently, you should never be with the bulk of the assault force but more of a flanker attacking from the back or sides with infiltrates. ![]() When flying, it's a weird system but it takes a lot of practice but the reaver is a bit harder to use for beginners so I would advise you play with a mossie or scythe first, also look for guides on how to fly because as a new player your going to need it a lot.Īs a NC Heavy Assault, your going to want to switch your default weapon as it is pretty bad for beginners but with any weapon learn when and where to burst fire because it'll help you control bloom and recoil. Generally you go for head shots as they will OHK with bolt actions upto 300m for tier 3 snipers. Normal classes have 1000 HP (500 Shield, 500 HP), infiltrates have 400 shield instead of the 500, and this ain't CoD or BF where you 1 shot people with snipers so 650 MAX damage won't. Is this normal for a new player? Or is it just me? OR is there a way to improve my fps and that is why i get low kills? When I play, it seems like bullets kill me as soon as I spawn, and bullets coming at me from all directions. I can't tell my fps but it seems less than 20 and more than 7. I am playing with a i7 HP Envy laptop with intel integrated graphics and have low fps so I play in windowed mode with 75% rendering quality and everything turned to minimum. However, as a MAX, I can get lots of kills and not die instantly. With a light, I can't kill anyone unless they don't move and are not a heavy and don't shoot at me.Īs a medic, I am unable to resurrect allies, and with a Engineer I can't resurrect turrets/ MAXs. When I am a heavy infantry and I use the standard machine gun I some times get kills, but it seems that even though I start shooting someone first, they always seem to kill me. When I fly a reaver I can get from one place to another but am unable to kill infantry, tanks, or vehicles. ![]() When I play gunner on a tank I usually get lots more kills. I have not been able to headshot enemies with a sniper rifle. When I try to play infiltrator, it seems that when I shoot from far away none of my shots hit the target, and when I am close and shoot someone with a 650 dmg sniper rifle I still don't kill them and I die. I have tried all vehicles and aircraft and even some turrets. I have tried all 3 races and all classes. ![]() We’re not yet convinced the combat system is as deep or elegant as Nioh but then again this is just a demo and the game’s not out until 2022. The demo seems to be running on fast forward in terms of handing out skill points to unlock your skill tree and so you’re quickly given access to a number of combos that can be attached to certain button combinations and added to your repertoire. You can switch between one of two jobs instantly and are encouraged to create combos between them, which starts to edge into Devil May Cry territory in terms of combat as well as just douchebag characters. ![]() Dark Souls was not a big budget game when it was first released 10 years ago and yet it was far more ambitious than this and its collection of small rectangular rooms.įirst Diablo 4 player to reach hardcore level 100 loses all progress due to always-online To judge by the demo at least, the game was clearly designed for the previous gen consoles and yet still doesn’t look as good as even Nioh, with simplistic character models and very bare bones level architecture.

On a tighter budget? Well, Adobe’s Photography Plan is just $10 per month and allows you to access Photoshop and Lightroom on two computers as well as your iPad. At the end of your 12-months, you’ll be charged the then-current Creative Cloud pricing unless you cancel. Note: This is a 12-month subscription on auto-renew. It also delivers both Photoshop and Lightroom for iPad, letting you design and edit photos while on-the-go.
