![]() Setting a jungler behind is usually a concerted team effort of countering ganks, blocking off access to buffs, and controlling vision-not just the enemy jungler clearing faster or counter-jungling. In addition, we’re also matching camp indicators to how players intuitively play around them so that you aren’t constantly stressed about being everywhere at once.ĬAMP RESPAWN GLOWING INDICATOR 15 seconds before camp spawns ⇒ 10 seconds before camp spawns As a result, we’re partially walking back camp timer respawns from last year’s preseason. The problem it brings in hand is twofold: Junglers never feel like they’ve finished farming, almost like the game was telling them they were failing at optimizing their clears, and windows to set up exciting ganks were far few in between. Our original intent for this aggressive respawn timing was that there’s always an opportunity cost to taking any other action on the map, and this pacing reduced jungler presence in lanes at the very early game. The intent isn’t so that a strategy is born out of the comeback mechanism, but instead to limit the number of games that feel truly out of hand due to a struggling jungler with no path to recover.Įven the fastest clearing junglers have little to no downtime between finishing one camp from the next. ![]() We’re also reinstituting an improved version of the comeback experience which only kicks in when a jungler is significantly behind the game- now, if that’s the case, it shouldn't feel impossible to win. To address this, we’re relaxing camp timers to allow for more leniency on pathing through the jungle. This is even more pronounced in higher levels of play, where the champion pool has narrowed down to those with competitive clearing capabilities, making the jungle a solved system and a scary place when you fall behind. Throughout patch notes history, the jungle has been changed in ways that have pushed PvE prowess to the highest levels of importance, where the priority is to farm fast to get ahead of the experience curve. Take this portal to the TFT patch notes to see what's in the cards for the first patch of TFT: Reckoning! Last but not least, Kog’Maw gets a VFX update, so prepare to be open-mouthed for a brushed up Mouth of the Abyss! (But not for too long- I hear he spits.) ![]() ![]() Phase Rush, a safe bet for ranged and melee users, gets a nerf, whereas Abyssal Mask gets a buff to secure it as a more potent MR option. On the other end, we’re giving some love to a luminous lady and a wingwoman who haven’t been feeling their best. Zooming back to balance changes, a certain axe man and a blade babe have been crossing the line, so we’re taking them down a notch. We’re talking more lenient camp timers, a helping hand for junglers who are significantly behind in the game, and specific adjustments to jungle camps. Now that things are settling down after Midseason, we come bearing the meatiest part of this patch: a jungle update! There’s a big section you can scroll on down to, but the gist of it is that we’re making improvements to help the jungle experience feel less like a grind of swatting down camps of birds and wolves. ![]()

![]() ![]() My only qualm is that i have pekin ducklings brooding currently and I’m afraid they may get too fat to use the door. This was the best solution i found, and a very reasonable price IMO. My coop is too far from my house to run electric to it. I browsed automatic doors for several weeks before I bought this - as i was having a hard time finding one that wasn’t too pricey with a power source. I love that you’re able to do timer or light or a mix of both, super handy! My girls figured it out easy enough after they investigated the new door initially (as all chickens - they’re nosy af lol) I just had this small door completely closed off before, we didn’t use it. it’s pretty straightforward! Once you figure out the display, you can see what works best for you. I watched several videos and didn’t need to keep going back to them during install. anyway! I consider myself fairly handy, but this was simple to install. I added this to my coop so i wouldn’t have to rush out to the coop first thing in the am. I would definitely recommend the door to any chicken owner who wants to reclaim so sleeping time! You can close the door by setting the mode to closing using the phot sensor and covering it but thats too much effort so I just block the door as I did before I added the automatic door. It would have been better if there was also a button to close the door so I could block them out when cleaning. ![]() Its great having a button to open the door on command because sometimes i find its partially open. I'm REALLY glad I did this because I can easily pull the plywood with 2 screws and bring it into the shop to clean/service/test. ![]() I mounted the door and controller onto a separate piece of plywood so I could verify it worked in my shop and simply screw in the working assembly wityh 2 screws into the coop outside. You do have to inspect the door for obstruction as it doesn't take much debris in the track to hamper its operation. The chickens and I love the automatic door as I dont have to get up at the crack of dawn everyday and the chickens dont have to wait for me. Easy install, timer and light sensor options, super quiet operation and excellent battery life so far. Not a deal breaker for me and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone. You then have to reprogram again to close at your usual time. I wanted to close the chickens in last week while I changed some fencing and had to reprogram the unit to close the door. That said, I have one issue - there is no override to manually close the door in between your programmed open and close time if necessary. What the description does not explain is that the unit displays the current light level with a numeric figure and allows you to program the light level required to open and the light level required to closed so I think I could have mounted this on the outside without issue and just programmed it to open at a lower light level! I was concerned the sensor may not get enough light in the morning so opted to run it on the timer function. I had decided and designed the coop around mounting this inside rather than out because my back yard (I have city chickens) is very shaded and the door would face west. Battery life, I’m sure, will drop more quickly once winter sets in. Battery indicator shows 70% battery life after two months but we haven’t had any temperature much below freezing yet. I went out every evening for two full weeks to watch it close on time and it has never failed in the two months I’ve owned it. I did a lot of research and decided to purchase it for my new coop and I haven’t regretted it for a second. I really hesitated on this purchase because it was (in my books) quite a substantial investment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Assured in his cleverness and with a flair for poetry, he's inclined to overstatement and blatant BS, using to excess and squandering terms like "existentialism," trying to make an impression, sweet-talk or alarm his audience into worshipping him, then slipping into bizarre, droll asides on race, politics, philosophy, Shakespeare, mythology and music. Newton seems incapable of standing from his chair, but he's like a restless child and can hardly stay seated. But as he loosens up, the words come out in a hurried, capriciously connected deluge. As depicted by Smith, Newton is at first withdrawn and tenderly soft-spoken. Were we fearful of having our bourgeois advantages taken away? Was it unfounded fear? Were they gun-toting terrorists or just one of several collective, anti-capitalist, anti-racist movements? Or was the left-wing politics simply window dressing for a colossal, radical trend-propelled deception? Well, you won't hit upon resolutions to many of these questions in this TV adaptation of Smith's one-man show, but you will get an impressive illustration of a man every trace as complicated and multifaceted as the movement he co-established. But in the grouping of New Territories, the film's well-placed in terms of subject but as a film it's a filmed staged production and fails to be ground-breaking. It's helmed by the first filmmaker that would come to anyone's mind to direct this material, Lee, the relentlessly socially conscious filmmaker known for tackling issues of Black American identity and racial politics as well as autobiographical themes. Newton who wrote his doctoral thesis on the Black Panthers at UC Santa Cruz and was killed in 1989. With his thigh-shaking, cigarette-puffing manner, Smith cultivates Dr. Looking back, he passes judgment on Eric Clapton's '80s cover of Bob Marley's hit I Shot the Sheriff but today likes rap, and loves Vincent Price. To be sure information is imparted about Huey as if he were still alive, with allusions to President George W. Identity and difference propel the "narrative," as per director Spike Lee's usual, given his desire to represent the real. Something really is happening, even if we don't know what it is. The film is one extended monologue of Huey's inner mind, concluding with an entrancing shadow boxing dance by Smith to Ballad of a Thin Man. Newton lights one cigarette after another, his mouth so dry that you can hear the sound of his tongue hitting the roof of his mouth. Spike Lee’s joints have for many years delved into the hard-hitting subjects, his last ‘BlackKklansman’ focused on the story of Ron Stallworth, an African American police officer from Colorado Springs, who successfully manages to infiltrate the local Ku Klux Klan branch with the help of a Jewish colleague.A chain-smoking Huey P. Thompson also composed the scores for ‘A Huey P. The film will also feature the music jazz artist Branford Marsalis and Marc Anthony Thompson who has been a collaborator with Smith for many years. His one-man show includes him rapping from his own text, combining references to slavery and contemporary life in the U.S. The performance then continues with Smith quoting extracts from Douglass’ essays and letters, and returns to Smith’s own writing for the finale, during which he sings: “If there is no progress, Frederick Douglass is still alive.” Smith, who has appeared in at least 10 of Lee’s movies dating back to 1988’s School Daze. Douglass lived from 1818 to 1895.Īlso in the news – Ewan McGregor to play villain Black Mask in ‘Birds of Prey’ history: a self-liberated slave, orator, publisher, and pioneering feminist who pleaded the case for abolition before Abraham Lincoln and made plans with the President for moving freed slaves to the North during the Civil War.

![]() ![]() When we say ‘prefer’ to sell….they will sell you Flame stand-alone but you have to really push to get only this version of Flame. However, Autodesk would much much prefer to sell you Flame Premium which is actually Flame (which now includes the full editing features of Smoke) + Lustre (color grading). “I do not believe you can buy a new Smoke Advanced,” Gruman answered cautiously.Īs we mentioned earlier, contrary to some reports, Flame stand-alone is still sold. Smoke costs US$3,500 and Smoke Advanced (at various times called Fire, Smoke HD, and Smoke Advanced) is not sold separately. The currently shipping version of Smoke (on Mac) and the other “Linux Smoke versions” are historically quite different than Flame and Flame Premium. Inferno even still exists as a currently updated product for owners. The reason he may have hesitated and the reason we asked is up until now (and I would suggest still today) there is general confusion as to exactly what is happening with the versons of Smoke and the versions of Flame. This might sound like a ridiculously simple question, but it still took Gruman a moment to answer. We started by asking point-blank if Autodesk still sold Smoke Advanced and Flame. In order to purchase Flare, you must own a Flame license, and many facilities find this an attractive inexpensive option (it costs less than NUKEX). As far as “editing” products, they market only Smoke, which is available on Mac OS X. Flare is a cut down version Flame that focuses on the Batch environment and doesn’t have a Desktop or main editing timeline. There are currently three “effects” Linux products being actively marketed by Autodesk: Flame, Flame Premium, and Flare, as shown on their Flame product overview page. The challenge is to make producers believe flame – while more expensive is more cost effective. Today many producers feel that they need a bunch of lower cost seats – as they will burn their budget too quickly in the flame suite. They did not know what they wanted to do – but they knew it was their ‘get out of jail card’. In the golden era of Flame, clients demanded the suite, just because it is the best. Making the applications attractive to their client’s clients.Artists have to feel investing their time in being a Flame or Smoke operator will lead to work. The life blood long term of any product is making the product somewhat aspirational, so younger artists will want to learn it. The challenge facing Autodesk with the compositing and editing products are three fold He seemed very comfortable being as specific as someone in a publicly traded company can, when talking to the press. He is also comes over in person as very bright and aware of the industry, and in this interview he solidly avoided speaking in generalities. He is very capable of speaking ‘marketing’ and rounding out answers with ‘watch this space’ or ‘commitment to customers’. I have heard him speak at functions when most answers to generalist questions are those well rounded, well intentioned answers that really say very little, while still sounding very respectful to customers. In other words, he speaks with an authority and command that conveys he understands exactly what is being asked, and he fully understands and chooses to engage or not. When he speaks he knows how to choose his words, but unlike someone at a lower level in the corporate structure, one gets the feeling he is not concerned about the opinions of someone else more senior in the company. Gruman is no one’s fool he joined Autodesk not long after the Autodesk – Discreet ownership change and he has all the intellect and background to know business in general and our industry in particular. ![]() Stig Gruman kindly agreed to this frank discussion of what it will take to make Flame and Smoke more attractive to younger artists wanting to decide what programs to learn, how much the products cost, how much more productive they need to be at those prices to compete with Autodesk’s competition, and the need to perhaps return to some of the marketing approaches that made the products great. To be blunt, fxguide a supporter of the Autodesk media and entertainment products, but not a fan of generalist interviews that speak around the issues facing artists today.

![]() ![]() Wonder Drink has five flavors sold in bottles, but they also sell the same flavors in cans, which is convenient. I really want to try the Green Tea & Lemon, but I haven’t seen it yet. So far, I’ve only had the Cherry & Black Currant (which I’ve gotten twice now). It’s less-expensive than other brands, and according to their website, they are the first and only prebiotic Kombucha! Probiotics feed and nourish probiotics, so it helps your digestive system even more. Wonder Drink Prebiotic KombuchaĪs far as I’ve seen, the Aldi I shop at always has Wonder Drink Kombucha. You can see all of their current flavors on the Health-Ade website. It’s also less fizzy, so if that’s not your bag, this one’s for you. This is a good brand to try first because both flavors I’ve had were really great, and it doesn’t have that fermented taste that some of the other flavors I’ve tried have. I want to try their Jalapeño-Kiwi-Cucumber and the Bubbly Rose (both of these look so good!). I’ve tried to Pink Lady Apple and the Maca-Berry - the apple is my favorite so far. I found Health-Ade Kombucha at Aldi, and although I’d seen it before at Whole Foods, I don’t think the packaging will ever get old. You can see all of their flavors on the GT Living Foods website - there’s a ton - and I want to try their Lavender Love, Synergy Pink Lady Basil, and Synergy Strawberry Serenity. ![]() The Watermelon is also fantastic! If you’ve never had kombucha before, I wouldn’t recommend the Trilogy as the first one (even though that’s what I did), go for a flavor you like instead. The Guava Goddess is my favorite and it would be a good poolside drink for the summer - very refreshing. So far, I’ve tried the Synergy Trilogy, Synergy Cosmic Cranberry, Synergy Watermelon Wonder, and Synergy Guava Goddess. They also have a line of kombucha that has chia seeds in it… and it looks delicious! They have a group of organic and raw kombucha, along with their Synergy line, which is organic. GT’s is probably the most-recognized kombucha brand - or at least, it’s the one I see the most. Here are the ones I’ve tried so far: GT’s Organic Kombucha These assist with muscle growth, combat cell damage, and breaking down foods. Kombucha also has Amino Acids, Polyphenols, and Active Enzymes. If you’re eating a vegetarian or a vegan diet, getting healthy gut bacteria can be difficult, especially if your body is used to eating meat. A healthy gut assists with weight loss, digestive health, and immune function. ![]() It’s most known for its living probiotics, which help with a healthy gut. Kombucha is fermented tea that has a natural effervescence, so it’s got a little bit of fizz when you open it and pour it (sometimes I like to drink mine out of a wine glass, because why not?). Kombucha provides a little midday “treat” that is flavorful, but low in calories, and actually, it has a lot of heath benefits. Part of the reason I’ve been drinking kombucha is that I’m currently on my fitness challenge, and I’m not allowing myself to drink alcohol. What Are The Health Benefits of Drinking Kombucha? I’ve purchased some from Aldi (where I usually go for groceries), Trader Joe’s, and H-E-B. …And I’ve basically been hooked ever since! So, I’ve been buying a few different brands and flavors every time I go to the grocery store. When I took my first sip, I am certain my eyes went wide, but I continued to drink. The one I got was from Synergy and it was their Trilogy kombucha. But, I didn’t try any until earlier this year, when I went to a Galentine’s Day event and they were handing out free bottles of the stuff. I mean, fermented tea? It sounded like it wouldn’t taste good, but people RAVE about it. Honestly, I was a little scared to try it. I laughed about it - as if drinking kombucha was some giant stepping stone in being healthy, or going vegan. When I started eating a mostly vegan diet three years ago, a coworker told me I was just “steps away” from drinking kombucha. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Do not post advertisements for the sale of commissioned art or other fan-made goods. ![]() Do not advertise sales of fan-created content.Any posts or comments attempting to do so will be removed.Account trades, sales, and giveaways are not permitted.Users posting links to bots will be banned.Vague discussion of an issue is permitted as long as there is no mention of how to acquire a bot or replicate an exploit.Spoiler tags can be applied to text by writing >!spoilers!<.
