Monsters are almost always "fair" although sometimes out of depth. (IMO this is one of the hardest hurdle to DCSS) Dungeon levels are smaller but can still be tedious especially in branch endpoints. There's a lot of depth here, but it can be overwhelming at the beginning. Character development is a combination of gear, xp levels, and user chosen proficiencies. Autoexplore exists (along with tab fighting), but if you watch the really good players they don't use it, because they want to control the explored area and manage escapes. It's very easy for newer players to die repeatedly because they get themselves in bad places. Survival depends on planning escapes and running long before stuff gets bad. Expectation is to "clear" every floor before proceeding to the next, except for maybe some tough monsters left for later. ![]() Races (and god choices) make the main gameplay differences Procedure through dungeon is forced (mainly by XP). Monsters may be "unfair" and you are expected to detect and avoid those.ĭCSS: Classes are distinguished only at the beginning. Lots of isolating monsters and teleporting them away. Character development is mainly through levels in the early game and by gear/consumables (stat potions) in the mid/end game Dungeon levels are large, vaults are huge with tons of monsters and can be time consuming. Autoexplore would be often likely to end in character death. Levels can be regenerated infinitely so grinding is optional (this is a key gameplay difference) Survival depends on knowing what dangers are around you and managing escapes (especially instant escapes which are reasonably plentiful) Because knowledge is so important, autoexplore does not and probably will never exist. The style of the games are very different, and depending on your friends preferences they might prefer one over the other.Īngband: Classes play very differently, races not so important Proceed through dungeon at own speed. Being heavily into obscure computer games isn't common among people I know, so it's nice to have a big online community to draw on for advice and sympathy. One final thing: DCSS has a lot of players, so the subreddit here and on the Tavern are full of activity. It's hard to tell which one a person will end up acquiring a taste for. Roguelikes are hard, inscrutable, acquired-taste games. I also had short dalliances with TOME4 and DoomRL and Brogue, but they never hooked me like DCSS. In the process of trying out other roguelikes, something about DCSS called me back in and I got addicted to the well-considered complexity of it. The first time I played Dungeon Crawl I was like "all you do is fight monsters in a dungeon? This is sooooo boring" (also I died several times during the tutorial). Your friend can just download and try them out. If you want less polish and more options, there are tons of forks now. I've played most other roguelikes and haven't found anything that comes close to the level of depth and polish Dungeon Crawl has. This allows easier sharing of changes between variants.I've played DCSS on and off for ten years so I don't have an objective opinion.

![]() though the current gen will likely continue to work just fine for years after the new model comes out, I do like the idea of support in perpetuity. If anyone has any thoughts or experience here, I’d love to My thoughts exactly. This is an extra ask since I’m more than willing to flip between inputs to play games and watch my shows, though it would be pretty slick to combine everything into one! I know I can technically run all the software on Debian or something similar, but that seems like it’s likely to be too fiddly for couch operation. That said, I don’t want to have to fiddle with a computer to watch shows, so I’d want this to be fairly straightforward and easy to navigate/switch back and forth between. ![]() This would be great, as I’d love to be able to bake everything into one device and have streaming, movies, music, and games all in one device. I’ve looked into this a bit and it seems doable, but I wanted to ask and see if anyone had experience launching Steam link or Parsec through Kodi on any of the various HTPC distros. Is an SBC the correct path to take on this, or is that just flirting with failure? Would it be better to look around for a compact SFF system from an OEM, or a NUC system? Any thoughts on this? Right now, the short list is:Īs hinted at before, I think it would be great if I could combine two devices in one. I guess what I’m fetching for here is some recommendations on mini-pc’s or SBCs that can stream games at 4k60 without breaking the bank or looking like a study in improvised explosives. The trouble there becomes passing the presentability measure, and after we consider the additional costs with that it works out to be a much larger NUC in practice. The last option I’ve considered is arguably the best technically - buy some used gear off craigslist or marketplace, then piece something together. The price is definitely preferable to the NUCs, but the size is admittedly larger, though well within reason. I’ve considered going with some of the “ultra SFF” options from Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc., since those seem to be a bit more affordable, but again that seems to be a bit hit and miss. ![]() Those should be able to handle everything just fine, but the price is a bit steep for my liking, even used. Same goes for other micro-pc’s, like any of the various NUCs. The potential issues with these got me thinking about doing a more powerful embedded system, something X86, but the price rises dramatically. I’m not opposed to either of those, there are a few Ham radio projects I could cannibalize them for if they didn’t work for this, or alternatively I could use them to make an actual HTPC to replace my Roku (more on that later). It looks like the Odroid N2+ or the RockPro64 might be able to muster up the horsepower needed, but it’s hard to find good documentation on anyone having done that. After that, I decided to look at some other SBCs. When I originally approached this, my first thought was to run everything on a Raspi 4, though it seems that it would just barely sneak by for the 4k decode, and unfortunately 4k decode isn’t supported by steam link yet, nor parsec, iirc (Raspberry Pi 4 is currently broken on Parsec). None of these are particularly difficult on their own, but when you add them together things get a bit rough. Must pass the girlfriend test - that is, it cant look like “one of those god forsaken computer projects”.As inexpensive as can be managed without giving up the other requirements.Fairly straightforward setup, I’d rather this not turn into a Frankenstein mess.Capable of 4k60 decode, though faster would be great (tv is a 4k 120hz, and PC can definitely drive a good number of games at that res/framerate).My requirements are a bit stiff for this project, admittedly. However, I have some requirements that are making the selection process a bit more difficult. Typically, this would be pretty straightforward, just grab a Raspberry Pi or the like and go nuts. I plan to use Steam link, as well as/or alternatively Parsec for the software, probably on Linux. Beyond the cost aspect, it just seems like a waste when I already have a plenty powerful enough computer sitting just upstairs in the office. I’d like to be able to play games in the living room on the TV, but I don’t want to have to dork with moving my PC down, and I don’t have the money for a full on secondary gaming rig. Hello everyone! I’ve come for some advice on putting together a small HTPC, primarily for in home streaming for games. The anchoring system supplies high stability with little to no shake.It offers the efficiency of a gym-style hoop.Let’s finalize all the interesting attractions of Silverback SB60 right here! Just keep in mind, after that, you will most likely have to purchase a new support bundle and after that install it again.Ī variety of the advantages of this hoop have been discussed at the start of the review. Moreover, if you are to move into a brand-new home, you can simply get down the goal from the base plate and take it with you. Most users said that the installation was a breeze. Silverback SB60 support kit is installed in the ground using concrete and rebar steel rods for remarkable stamina. Plus, in the SB60 model, there is a pole pad for securing you from accidental injury if you somehow ram the pole. As a result, the look of the hoop remains the same for so many years. The good news is that the steel is covered in Dupont powder covering for ultimate corrosion as well as UV defence. 4 inches is good, but it will shake more because it has to carry a heavy backboard. My only objection is that I would like to see at least 5-inches (or more) think a pole. And SB60 features a 4-inches thick square pole. The thicker the post, the much less vibration a hoop has. Square poles are tougher than round ones. That said, your children will certainly grow with it so you don’t need to buy one more basketball system for them once they stop growing. You can frequently increase as well as lower the hoop height depending on who is playing. Because of having a crank actuator, you can change the Silverback SB60 basketball system between 7.5 feet to 10 feet in 6-inch increments. Readjusting the elevation of the rim is a simple job. On the other hand, this rim will work nicely when you are shooting a 3-pointer from the distance! However, always be very careful when executing your dunks. Springs lessen the pressure on the rim, and consequently, it is taken into consideration as a vital performance feature. ![]() Much like the pro-design hoops, this spring-activated rim bends under pressure when you dunk the ball. ![]() This Silverback SB60 basketball system has a pro-style breakaway rim. 2.5 feet overhang offers a lot of play underneath the hoop. SB60 also includes a backboard pad to protect you when they drive to finish a layup and jump to catch rebounds. But it’s could be a bit thicker for your safety though. It’s 5/16 ″ thick, which is enough to supply lots of rigidity. It is, of course, made of tempered glass.īasically, toughened up glass is the best of the best. The 60-inch dimension is ideal for all types of players since it’s quite wide (very close to regulation 72″!). That said, here’s what you get if you opt-in for this high-quality hoop: Backboard Considering the price/quality ratio, this hoop is worth every penny. However, on Amazon, you can find it for less than $1K. Silverback SB60 in-ground hoop sells for $1100 officially. It is suitable for young hoopsters, as well as grown-ups! Without a doubt, this hoop is an exceptional depiction of superior quality and style. Speaking of safety, the Silverback SB60 basketball system features a post padding system to develop a soft pillow when you hit the pole. Just be careful because no hoop is 100% safe for dunking. In other words, you can dunk and hang on it. On top of that, the breakaway rim is well-made. Utilizing the crank actuator technology, you can adjust the hoop from the NBA regulation elevation of 10 feet to the kid-appropriate elevation of 7.5 feet. I only wish that the 60″ backboard is larger, but hey! With a thickness of 5/16″, the toughened up glass backboard will supply a tough enough area to sharpen your skills.įurthermore, the glass backboard combines with an aluminium trim structure to supply the very best rebound. ![]() If that is your spending plan, the SB60 could be for you and here’s why… Silverback SB60 In-Ground Basketball Hoop ReviewĪfter doing some research, I found that this is possibly the best purchase in this category below $1000. ![]() recurringException - Represents the exceptions of a recurring event, when specific dates need to be skipped from the rule. ![]() recurring - Configures the recurring rules for the event.allDay - Configures the event as a full-day event.The same formats are supported as for start end - Sets the end date and time for the event.It can be a js date object, ISO date string or moment.js object. start - Sets the start date and time for the event.If not specified, it will show the title and the start/end times of the event. tooltip - Defines the text for the tooltip which appears on mouse hover. ![]() If not specified a unique id will be generated Besides the base properties you can add any custom property, like location, description.

Learn how to create a custom event template. In the custom template/render function we can account for the offsets and print the times in the team members timezone instead of the base timezone (UTC in this example). The last thing that needed to be done is to override the event rendering with a custom template. On how to work with disabled times and how to override them take a look at this example. Besides the colored backgrounds we've also set "time off" to invalid for validation purposes. For that we are setting colored backgrounds with time labels that show the "working hours", "flex hours" and "time off". That's why we need to somehow communicate the work hours with the correct offsets so that the person doing the scheduling can easily find the best times for the meeting. To learn more about timezone management take a look at this example.īecause all resources are part of the same calendar they operate in the same timezone. This also means that the scheduler operates in this timezone set through the dataTimezone and displayTimezone options. Each team member can be in separate timezones which means we need to account for the various offsets.įirst we need to set a base timezone, which for the sake of simplicity is UTC and it is the timezone of the first resource, the meeting organizer. In this example, built with the Mobiscroll scheduler we've laid out a timeline with multiple resources that represent the teammates. Setting up meetings across multiple timezones is messy and hard task. ![]() The cause of death cannot be identified from the remains: there is, however, no evidence the creature died of something other than old age or some other natural cause. It is possible that its body is sealing up a tunnel that it used to enter, since that would explain why two thirds of it is underground. Given the intact nature of the bones, one possibility is that the Lost River represents a natural tunnel system the creature entered in the distant past, now choked with vegetation and partially collapsed such that it could not enter them in their modern arrangement. How it came to rest in the Lost River is difficult to explain, as it seems unlikely that such a limited biome would be a colossal creature's natural habitat: the only real clue given is that the PDA log states that geological changes have occurred, and that the creature could not have entered the Bone Fields in their current configuration. These samples were probably studied at the Lost River Laboratory Cache, as this was the main site in which Leviathan class bone samples are found. The Precursors were also studying these remains, as evidenced by small, angular indentations on the ribcage. Smaller versions of its ribs can be seen in the entrance to the Lost River Junction, while a much smaller but otherwise identical skull which also gives the Gargantuan Fossil scan can be found in the Ghost Forest, presumably from a juvenile example of the species. The skull is so large that a Cyclops can fit inside its jaws. The skeleton is covered in flora and coral. The remains consist of a huge, vaguely reptilian skull and sixteen pairs of huge ribs. The skeleton belonged to an eel-like, possibly above Leviathan Class apex-predator dwarfing both the Sea Dragon Leviathan and Sea Emperor Leviathan combined, despite only being around one third of the whole skeleton. ![]() The Gargantuan Fossil is an enormous and ancient fossil, approximately three million years old, found in the Bone Fields. ![]() Your only means of defense are hiding, running or using your wits.

Only a few of the newspapers, such as The Reporter (with Amharic and English editions, owned by the Media Communication Centre) and Addis Admass (in Amharic) are backed by strong private investment. Anecdotally, however, there was evidence of high demand for private papers during the May 2005 election period, but with a contraction in the number of private papers after the election. However it is difficult to comment on the exact size of the newspaper market, as there is no research available in this area. There has been a significant increase in the number of papers in the past five years, with new privately-owned papers leading this growth. Ten of these magazines are in the Amharic language, and two are published in English, a monthly and a bi-monthly (Ministry of Information, personal communication, August 2006).ħ.2 Investment and growth in newspapers in the past five years There are 12 national magazines 10 published monthly, two published every two months, and two published quarterly. There is no information available to distinguish whether the remaining 53 newspapers are national or regional papers. The Monitor is the only private-owned daily. The three national dailies are Addis Zemen (Amharic), The Ethiopian Herald (English) and the Monitor (English). At the time of writing this report, no data could be sourced on the percentage of the adult population that reads a newspaper.Īt national level, there are three daily newspapers (see Figure 8). The newspaper sector is limited by the country’s low literacy rates, and most titles are said to have small print runs of only about 3,000 copies. Source: Ministry of Information, personal communication, August 2006 ![]() However, some of these papers disappear when there are no strong news events to cover. Many of the new papers in recent years have been tabloid weeklies responding to news events, such as the 2005 elections. Most papers are weeklies, bi-weeklies and monthlies, with only three dailies, all national, in existence.

This will help to understand and work on emotional or cognitive triggers that lead to mindless eating (Albers, 2008). The third step is to be aware of what triggers the initiation and stopping of eating. Being aware of the ways in which one mindlessly eats will help change those habits and practice a more mindful way of eating. The second step is to identify habits such as eating mindlessly or eating while multitasking. This involves all the physical sensations as well as emotions and memories. Albers described the first step of mindful eating as noticing all sensations experienced while eating. It is also important to be aware that the mind is wandering as this awareness is essential to bring back focus (Baer & Krietemeyer, 2006). Here ‘paying attention’ refers to focusing on the process of eating and at the same time being aware of one's thoughts, feelings, and memories that come up at that moment. Similar to other mindfulness techniques, mindful eating involves paying attention to the food intentionally, in the moment and without judgment. It is a practice in which the individual brings one’s focus on the sensations experienced when they are eating as well as their general experience of food. Mindful eating is one of the less used methods to practice mindfulness. ![]() ![]() Even though not very often used, being mindful while carrying out day-to-day activities in life is helpful in reducing the symptoms of disorders such as anxiety and depression (Fuchs et al., 2016). Along with the techniques mentioned above, some therapists also encourage their clients to be more mindful in their day-to-day activities such as eating, walking, cleaning, etc. Techniques such as mindful breathing and body scan meditation are some of the most popular methods used in current therapy settings. There are various techniques used to practice mindfulness. This state is attained by deliberately paying attention to thoughts and sensations without judgement, which helps in focusing the mind on the present moment. The general goal of practicing mindfulness is to achieve a state of alertness and focused relaxation. Practicing mindfulness has helped many individuals live an intentional life and learn skills necessary to manage problems such as chronic pain, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness meditation was a major component in the MBSR program (Kabat-Zinn, 2013). John Kabat-Zinn developed the MBSR Program in 1991. The trend of using mindfulness in therapy began with the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR). A much secular version of mindfulness is practiced in clinical settings. The practice of Mindfulness has recently gained popularity among mental health practitioners. ![]() The practice of Mindfulness has its roots in Buddhism. It is a deliberate act that involves regulating one's attention through the observation of thoughts, emotions, and body states (Black et al., 2009). Mindfulness is an intentional practice of focusing one's attention on the present moment without any judgment. Authors have compiled guidelines for therapists on how to introduce mindful eating as an adjunct in therapy settings for clients who have unhealthy eating patterns along with anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as for those suffering from eating disorders. The chapter covers various approaches to mindfulness eating. Mindful eating can be utilized as an adjunct in therapy by helping clients to practice cognitive control and by breaking the cycle of unhealthy coping strategies like emotional eating. ![]() Mediating factors such as an individual's perception of food-related cues, changes in cognitive control, and eating as an emotional coping strategy influence the relationship between emotion and eating behavior. There is a close link between emotional states and eating, specifically intense emotional states and unhealthy eating practices. AbstractThe chapter is an attempt by authors to highlight the scope of mindful eating as an adjunct therapeutic tool. ![]() The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.

They have also been used as writing slates, i.e. Slates have been used historically as building stone, since, due to their strong fissility, they make excellent roof tiles. With increasing metamorphic grade, slate develops a lustrous sheen related to coarser white mica grains that are able to reflect light, thus becoming phyllite. Slate tile flooring: Slate is a durable rock that is suitable for use as flooring, stair treads, sidewalk slabs, and patio stone. On the downside, the wide bark joints will. Finally, place bark around the flagstone, then sweep it off. Bricks can work as a border to help hold the flagstones in place and to visually define the walkway. ![]() This uses up to 25-percent less stone than with close-fit methods. ![]() Slate colors are highly variable depending on the mineral content: dark varieties generally containing much graphite and green varieties containing abundant chlorite. Install the flagstone sparsely, with large 2-inch to 4-inch joints. The minerals present in slates are white mica (illite, smectite, pyrophyllite), chlorite, graphite, kaolinite, quartz, feldspars, and oxides, representing a mixture of metamorphic and detrital grains that are largely too fine-grained to be seen with the unaided eye. Such foliation does not necessarily correspond to the original bedding or layering and rather represent tectonic surfaces, often perpendicular to the direction of maximum compression. The preferred orientation of platy phyllosilicates, resulting from the metamorphism of clay minerals, determines the penetrative foliation characterizing slates. Slate form from very low-grade metamorphism of clay-rich sedimentary rocks (shales, mudrocks, siltstone to very fine-grained and matrix-rich sandstone) or volcanic ash deposits. The related term ‘clay slate’ is a direct translation of the German Thonschiefer and the French schiste argileux, which is redundant in English. The name itself derives from the German schleissen, ‘to split’, in reference to the high degree of fissility of the rock. United States: Terranova, Vermont, New York ( Slate Valley) and Virginia.Slate is an ultrafine/very fine-grained schistose metamorphic rock characterized by a slaty cleavage and, consequently, tends to split easily along foliation planes.Brazil: 95% comes from the state of Minas Gerais.United Kingdom: Wales (Penrhyn Quarry).These deposits are found on slate formations from the middle and upper Ordovician (from 485.4 million years ago to 443.8 million years ago) The most important are the geological structures of the Truchas Syncline (Orense and León) and the Caurel Syncline (Lugo and León). In the northern region of Galicia and neighbouring provinces is where the largest number of mining operations are located. It is estimated that approximately 90% of the natural slate used in construction is obtained from Spain. Approximately 10-12 pieces in each box of various sizes. Spain is the country with the largest reserves of tectonic slate in the world. A bulk case of the Dudes choice 100 natural Flagstone/Slate Rock. The most important deposits currently extracted are found in the Hercynian Mountain range that runs through Europe. In the slate production process, there are no chemicals or additional treatments used, making it a 100% natural and an ecological material. |
