Bigben interactive tourne disque3/20/2023 ![]() ![]() The sound design though has not seen the same improvements, and at times it just sounds like the original especially when it came to the voice acting. ![]() Visually the game has seen a lot of improvements over the original and at times it can look great. The presentation side of the game is a bit hit and miss. I would however have liked to have skipped some certain conversations every now and then, but unfortunately that option doesn’t exist which surprised me a great deal. In fact I forgot how enjoyable the story was so it was nice to be reminded how interesting the characters are. When it comes to the story in the game then if you’ve never played it before you will find it very charming. It’s a shame really because when your traversing throughout the fantastic world the game can be quite fun, but the problems aren’t far behind. The controls and shooting mechanics in the game are without a doubt the game’s biggest shortcomings and these specific problems do nothing but frustrate you and this can be quite off putting. Don’t get me wrong it does still provide you with some enjoyable moments, but the shortcomings it has are just too much to deal with in this modern era. In order to make a remaster successful you have to address the problems that the original had, but unfortunately that isn’t the case here. I fondly remember playing Outcast back in 1999 and in my opinion it was one of the best game’s that year, but I must admit that I was a little I fondly remember playing Outcast back in 1999 and in my opinion it was one of the best game’s that year, but I must admit that I was a little surprised to see it get a remaster. Outcast is a special piece of gaming history that surprisingly and against any reasonable expectation withstood the test of time. Outcast was the adventure game of the year in 1999, and it's my adventure game of the year in 2017. This game simply exudes charm in a way that few others do. These elements come together to create a package that's a pure joy to play through. Cutter Slade is an outrageous protagonist but he's lovable in his own way - the Nathan Drake of the 90's. The alien Talan feel like real people who you'll want to help and they live in a world that feels alive in a way even games like Skyrim do not. If you're looking for a modern masterpiece, this isn't it instead, Outcast trips back to a time when games were all about exploration and being absorbed in the world. Sure, the combat is horrific and there are other details that clearly show the game is dated, but it doesn't matter. Outcast was plucked straight out of 1999 and dropped into 2017, but in many ways it's better than what we have today. ![]()

Slack pricing3/20/2023 ![]() Remain on the Free Slack Plan: This means we lose the ability to retain messages longer than 90 days.NOTE: This may take some time and go beyond the September 1 deadline, so we are also looking into whether we can keep message retention while this is worked out. We are in touch with various people to see if Slack has received discount requests for the Pro Plan from other OSS projects, and what options OSS projects like CUE have. Pro Slack at Discount Price: Currently, there are no such Open Source plans available for Slack.And it will only get more costly with each new user. At 918 users and growing, the pro user account would cost $8032.50 per month. Pro Slack at Full Price: Paying per-user for Pro will be expensive for the CUE Project.So by definition, affordability is a point-in-time assessment. We can’t predict whether tools will pull the plug on free offerings or switch to a per-user pricing. Is there anything you would add/remove/change in this list?Ī note on affordability: this is hard to control with platforms. ![]() We have drafted a set of criteria against which we will evaluate options (see next section for those options): Given the September 1 changeover date, we need to move fast! Criteria We need your help and feedback to reach a decision on what to do. If this belief is shared by the wider community, we’ll need to decide on a course of action, because staying on the free plan does not satisfy this requirement. It provides history and continuity, and can be used as knowledge sharing and context building for the community. We therefore believe the CUE community needs a place to chat.įurthermore, we believe that retaining message history is an important feature for the CUE project. It has a lower barrier for engagement and could even be considered the frontline of support. ![]() Having a chat or messaging component like Slack for the CUE project is important for building the community and fostering more casual conversations ( see previous discussion). After September 1 2022, data retention will be a rolling 90 day window: on September 1 2022, this would revoke CUE community access to messages from before roughly 3 June 2022. Currently, the CUE community Slack is on the free plan, which allows for retention of 10,000 messages: this gives the CUE community access to messages as far back as October 31 2020, equivalent to ~700 days. Slack are due to make a number of pricing and plan changes on. ![]()

Tikki tikki tembo bassnectar3/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Specifically, it has been suggested that the story originated from the very similar Japanese rakugo about Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no surikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kūnerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro Yaburakōji-no burakōji Paipopaipo Paipo-no-shūringan Shūringan-no Gūrindai Gūrindai-no Ponpokopī-no Ponpokonā-no Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke. However, the story is thought to have come from Japan rather than from China. ![]() as a child" and that the book is "her own retelling" of it. The publisher states that the author "first heard the story. įirst part of "Tiki-Tiki-Tembo", a story published in 1924 The 2009 audio book version of the story received a Parents' Choice Foundation rating of "Approved". According to the publisher, over one million copies of the book had been sold by 2013. In a 2008 online poll of "Top 100 Picture Books" by School Library Journal, the book ranked 35th in a similar 2012 poll, the book ranked 89th. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed the book as one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children". ![]() In a 1999–2000 National Education Association online survey of children, the book was one of the "Kids' Top 100 Books". In 1997, The New York Times selected it as one of the 50 best children's books of the previous 50 years. The Kirkus Review found the illustrations to be "a skillful counterpoint of diminutive detail and spacious landscape and a fine setting for a sprightly folktale." The book won a 1968 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award in the Picture Book category. The book received accolades upon publication. The end of the story says that this is why the Chinese have short names. They get Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo from the well, but because of the long time he was in the well, it takes longer for him to recover. After Chang breathlessly repeats his brother's predicament the Old Man goes with Chang to save his brother from the well. Further, when Chang tries to wake him up, the Old Man with the Ladder-annoyed-tries to fall back asleep. Initially, the old man does not respond because he is asleep. Chang goes to the Old Man with the Ladder. He tries repeatedly until finally his mother tells Chang to get the Old Man with the Ladder. His mother insists that he repeat the name-but with respect. However, because Chang is out of breath from running he sputters and then mispronounces the name. Chang runs to their mother and tries to tell her that "Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo has fallen into the well." At first she cannot hear him so he says it again. Some time later, the boys are again playing near the well. Chang is rescued and then recovers quickly. Their mother tells him to get the Old Man with the Ladder. Chang falls in the well and his older brother runs to their mother and tells her Chang has fallen down the well. A boy named Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo ("The Most Wonderful Thing in the Whole Wide World") and his little brother Chang ("Little or Nothing") are playing very close to a well at their house that their mother has warned them to avoid. Arlene Mosel and Blair Lent's classic re-creation of an ancient Chinese folktale has hooked legions of children, teachers, and parents, who return, generation after generation, to learn about the danger of having such an honorable name as Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo.Tikki Tikki Tembo is set in ancient China and invents an ancient Chinese custom whereby parents honor their first-born sons with long, elaborate names that everyone is obliged to say completely – no nicknames, no shortening of any kind – while second-born sons are typically given short, unimportant names. ![]() Three decades and more than one million copies later children still love hearing about the boy with the long name who fell down the well.

I had never heard those words before, so I asked her, “What does that mean?” The quiet seriousness of her response struck me. A Chinese-American friend was talking about the way other kids chanted “Tikki Tikki Tembo” around her. My first encounter with Tikki Tikki Tembo occurred around middle school. ![]()

Sequencher contig assembly imverted3/20/2023 ![]() ![]() If you use CAP3 in any published work, please cite the. The Quality Scores Tutorial expands on the use of confidence scores in trimming and navigating your sequences. Here, we present the autoSeqMan software program, which can automatedly assemble contigs using SeqMan scripting language. This form allows you to assemble a set of contiguous sequences (contigs) with the CAP3 program. With just a few clicks, you can restore bases to just a few or a few thousand sequences, and get even more control over your sequence trims.Ĭheck out the Trimming Tutorial to learn how to take advantage of these tools. Figure 4 shows an example of Sequencher assembly for DNA template 5 containing a strong 24-base hairpin. If you want to restore a set number of bases on either or both ends of your trimmed sequences because your trim was too stringent or you want to improve coverage, Batch Revert Trim Ends lets you do just that. Prior to executing a trim, Sequencher displays a graphic representation of the proposed trim, which allows you to even further refine your criteria. To import a Sequencher project into CodonCode Aligner, you must first. Trim to Reference eliminates the ends of sequences that extend beyond an assembled Reference sequence. Assemble in groups by multiplex sequence tag. Trim Vector removes sequence-specific data contaminating the ends of your sequences. Trim Ends removes misleading data from the ends of sequencing fragments. From Sequencher, aligned contigs are exported as a Common Assembly Format (CAF) file and all sample sequence data as Standard Chromatogram Format' (SCF). Sequencher provides simple-to-use but powerful tools that help you trim poor quality or ambiguous data: Unless removed by trimming, any of these artifacts will distort your sequence assembly and downstream sequence analysis. inverted and jumbled fragments of an EVE Type A sequence.

Busty hunter girls3/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Those animals masturb*ted in the swimming pool. I dragged my boyfriend out of the pool immediately and asked him to wash his hair and we went home right after. Suddenly I saw on my boyfriend head some milky fluid, when I touched, it was slippery and a bit thick. Their bikini top and bottom in disarray.Ĥ: It was too crowded so my boyfriend and I just played near the swimming pool coping. When they came back, they were crying their eyes out. Around us, people kept on using phone to record and laugh like they were at the circus.ģ: My sister went with her friends. We saw our friend being surrounded by bunches of guys, we kept crying and called out: please help my friend, someone please help my friend. As we just got out, one of my friend, who were still near the river, were pulled down and dragged to the centre of the river and was being splashed water and her head was pressed down. Behind us, all the boys kept splashing water like crazy, we were so freak out that all of us decided to go out of the river. I was coughing really hard I thought I was gonna die…Ģ: I was swimming in the lazy river with my friends. Then there was people grab my hair, my arm to pull out of the swimming pool. Those arms scratch and pull me up, my head hit the coping. My head was still pressed down, I was out of breath and I thought I was going to drown. Even though i was choking, but i felt clearly someone was fīngering me, my legs was spread apart. My bikini top was pull up to my neck and the bottom was pull till my knee. I felt my breast and my private area being grab and touched, my behind was groped too. ![]() I was shock and choked on water, many arms pushed my head down. Then we heard a commotion at the back, as we turned around we saw hundreds of boys crowded the whole river, screaming and going towards the three of us. Although attention was called for, no immediate assistance or regard was provided despite the alarming screams and shouts-no one ever came to their aid.Īfter the horrifying ordeal, some girls confessed their terrifying experiences and disgusts in various social networks:ġ: We were holding onto the swim ring at the lazy river for about 3 minutes. Some were even traumatized after either being circled by groups of men, stared at maliciously, ripped off of their swimsuits, and then “fīngered” underwater. ![]() Victims shared that they were either splashed repeatedly with water or intentionally pulled down to the extent of being drowned while being touched in their private areas. ![]() More so, rampant cases of indecent acts and public humiliation aired as swimmers were allegedly gropȇd and even stripped by male swimmers who dominated the pool areas. However, the drama did not end there as irate guests including the young ones illegally climbed the gates just to trespass the park. As their gates opened, the number of guests crowded the whole area in just split seconds leaving almost no room for privacy and exclusivity, most especially for swimmers in various pool areas.Īs the crowd multiplied, the management of the said park was later on forced to shut its doors due to overcapacity. However, as another trademark was conceptualized with the hopes of being remembered by many, obviously, the water park’s management got a pretty modest in underestimating the end-results of their gimmick.Ī popular water park called Ho Tay in Hanoi, Vietnam did the unexpected marketing strategy and held an “open season treat” from 8:00am -10:00am to the general public. Vietnam has always been known for its exquisite tourist destinations and closely-knitted relationship with nature. Although most people would trade anything in exchange for a stolen piece of paradise either in the deep or a magnificent pool, this water park just might be the last resort you may want to plunge into. ![]()

Little devil inside delayed3/19/2023 ![]() ![]() This game also features a strong narrative with branching dialogue options to give players more control over their destiny. This RPG will have you deciding on vampire factions and who to trust all while you try to quench your thirst. In this sequel, you’ll be on the streets of Seattle as a new vampire ready to test the strength of your bite. This action role-playing video game is a sequel to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, which is part of the World of Darkness series and based on the tabletop role-playing game of the same name. The dev team is excited to bring another installment in what they call a “thrilling and engaging” gaming experience. Fans are already calling the first Ghostrunner game both a fascinating and punishing experience as you slash your way through an ultra-futuristic cyperpunk setting. No official date has been announced, but a 2023 window is a safe bet. Though the first Ghostrunner may have just launched, a sequel is already in the works! 505 Games confirmed the sequel is in development with a PS5 launch. Expect this game to continue development through 2022 and release in 2023. Unfortunately, with its noted absence from E3 2021, it feels unlikely that we’ll actually see Pragmata in 2022. With a 2022 confirmed release, we have some time to build excitement for this one. The devs promise that players will lose themselves in this new sci-fi action-adventure game that’s meant to have a thought-provoking, profound story. It’s being described as a “dystopian near-future lunar world,” which leaves us with tons of questions. In it, we see glimpses of a character in a spacesuit in a futuristic setting. Pragmata is a mysterious new Capcom title that is piquing the interest of fans with its teaser trailer. The devs of this game promise a cinematic story with a top-notch atmosphere and style, with an influence from “atompunk aesthetics.” We’ll need to wait until next year to play this expansive space game exploring a world where the USSR never collapsed. Now, you’re on the planet Regis III, playing the role of an astronaut caught amidst this space war. Superpowers continue to obsess over the Space Race, and the War has now been taken to the stars. The Invincible is an upcoming sci-fi thriller that takes place in a world where the Cold War never ended. The devs said they wanted to make the most out of the next-gen consoles, so expect one stunning, immersive game once this sequel is released. Earthlock 2 will make the most of the PS5’s capabilities by using Unreal’s Engine 4, which was an ambitious undertaking for the dev team. Players will have to make meaningful choices as they play on the planet Umbra, allowing them to leave their mark on the world. Set in the same Earthlock universe, the sequel will have real-time combat this time, compared to the turn-based original. Earthlock 2 is a new title from Snowcastle Games that will be an open-world RPG sequel to the cult-classic turn-based RPG. ![]()
