![]() ![]() Worthington Foulfellow, a wily fox also known as "Honest John." Along with his daffy companion Gideon, Foulfellow convinces Pinocchio that he should become an actor in the puppet show belonging to Stromboli, a tyrannical puppeteer. To aid him in his task, she makes Jiminy, a vagabond cricket who has snuck into Geppetto's workshop to spend the night, Pinocchio's conscience, dubbing him the "Lord High Keeper of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong." Pinocchio's first test comes the next morning, when, on his way to school, he is accosted by J. She tells Pinocchio, however, that he must earn his right to become a real boy by exhibiting the virtues of truth, courage and selflessness. ![]() Because the old man, who has been generous and good all of his life, loves children and has none of his own, the Blue Fairy brings the marionette to life to be a son to him. Geppetto, a kindly old woodcarver, creates a little puppet boy of pine and names him Pinocchio. ![]() Entranced by her tranquil beauty, the prince kisses her back to life and carries her off to eternal happiness. While lying in the woods in a glass-domed coffin built by the Dwarfs, Snow White is found by the Prince. Satisfied that Snow White is doomed, the queen rushes back toward her castle but is chased by the Dwarfs and falls to her death off a cliff. Lured by the queen, the innocent Snow White bites into the apple and falls into a death-like sleep, which can be broken only when she is kissed by her first true love. The Dwarfs' newly found happiness ends abruptly when the evil queen, who has learned from the Magic Mirror that Snow White is alive, transforms herself into an old hag and, equipped with a poison apple, heads for the Dwarfs' cottage. To Grumpy's dissatisfaction, Snow White turns the household upside down and instigates positive changes in the Dwarfs' life. After much confusion, Snow White strikes a deal with the Dwarfs, offering her domestic services in exchange for room and board. While Snow White sleeps, the owners of the beds, the Seven Dwarfs-Sleepy, Dopey, Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Bashful and Happy-return from working at the local diamond mine and discover the snoozing princess. Shocked by the decrepit condition of the cottage, Snow White enlists the help of the animals to clean it up, and then falls asleep in an upstairs bedroom, which has been furnished with seven tiny beds. After her nap, she wakes to find the woods full of friendly, furry animals, who guide her to an empty cottage. Frightened by the dark, stormy forest, Snow White runs wildly through the trees until she collapses with exhaustion on the forest floor. Once there, however, the woodsman finds he cannot do the deed and admonishes the princess to hide, while he returns to the queen with a pig's heart, which he claims belonged to Snow White. As part of her daily beauty routine, the Wicked Queen asks her Magic Mirror, "Who is the fairest one of all?" and is told that Snow White, her blossoming stepdaughter, is now the "fairest one of all." In an envious rage, the queen orders a woodsman to kill Snow White, who has just met the handsome and endearing Prince, in the forest. ![]()

![]() ![]() I suggest just trying to complete all the levels, going for the completion trophies. There are a whopping four trophies in each DLC. This roadmap will just get right down to the additional DLC's. If you haven't, this is a good time to do that. I will assume you have followed the excellent trophy guide that exists for the base game and Wicked Witches DLC. (You can use chapter select.)įirst off, yes, you need to own the base game in order to play the DLC. + Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 + Approximate time: 2-3 hours each (depends on your skill and luck of which random power-ups drop) ![]() ![]() + Estimated trophy difficulty: 5.0/10 (A bit harder than the base game, which is rated 4/10) Never choose going for a powerup if it means you die. Likewise, your weapon powerups (laser, cannon, etc.) have limited shots. It appears in the top right of the screen. Keep an eye on the countdown timer for certain powerups. The iron ball powerup (spiky black ball) is a great powerup generally. This will allow it to bounce around and continually destroy items. Try to get your ball up to the top of the screen and behind obstacles. Once you've completed the game and have those trophies, you can go to any level you need and wrap up the ones you missed. I include the trophy "Bonus Plan" because you should get that in a play through. If you sit and play through every level in one sitting then you'll get 11 of the trophies automatically. If you quit before getting the trophies that require completing xx number of levels in a row then you just lost out on it. You'll need a good amount of time set aside because you will be playing through the game without quitting. One major note: NEVER SELECT CONTINUE if you run out of lives! If you do, you just ruined the work you've done up to that point as your level count resets. You will have to replay some of the original game if you decide to get the DLC at a later date. There are trophies with the DLC that require completing 50 levels in a row and one that requires 2,000,000 points. If you believe you will eventually purchase the DLC, I strongly suggest just buying them both at the same time. To get the other 5 available, you must purchase the DLC.

It wouldn’t be fair or possible to run the same kinds of tests on a Chromebook, as they’re Chrome OS-based machines. Chromebooks, on the other hand, go through a series of web-based tests. The idea is to push the laptop to its limits and then compare it against others we’ve tested. The PCWorld team puts each and every Windows laptop through a series of benchmarks that test GPU and CPU performance, battery life, and so on. Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 (2022)review How we tested If you can live with those small drawbacks, the Yoga 9i is well worth considering. The 19:9 aspect ratio makes the screen feel a bit squished and the touchpad is smaller than we like. There’s a couple of minor nitpicks to be aware of, though. You can expect this laptop to last through the work day. When we put the laptop through our battery test, it died in about 12 hours. The 74 watt-hour battery is quite large for a compact 2-in-1 as well. According to our tester, the processor “packs four performance cores and eight efficiency cores.” That’s quite a bit of power. Plus, the 12th-gen Intel processor really boosts performance. It has an attractive design, a dazzling OLED display, and great sound quality. The Lenovo Yoga 9i is a fantastic convertible. If you don’t mind giving up those luscious OLED visuals for a bit more graphics firepower, you should take a look at the Acer Swift X, which is our next entry.ĪSUS VivoBook Pro 15 OLED Ultra Slim Laptopreview Nitpicks aside, if you’re looking for reliable performance on a gorgeous OLED screen, the VivoBook Pro 15 is where the party’s at. The overall design is a little plain and the port selection is limited, and you’ll need to drop down to Medium or High graphics in strenuous modern AAA games on the RTX 3050. There are a few minor shortcomings, however. Plus, the OLED display is absolutely beautiful and battery life is surprisingly good. According to our tester, this laptop is great for “gaming, streaming, and day-to-day productivity.” Thanks to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 (4GB GDDR6) GPU, we were able to hit 60 frames-per-second at 1080p on high graphics during the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark. Looking for a reliable budget gaming laptop? The ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 OLED is a fantastic option. ![]() ![]() ![]() If they had stopped there, it would have been fine, but they didn’t. There is also a Survival Tower where you’ll have to reach the top with a limited amount of health. An Endless tower has you go for as long as you possibly can. There are the Klassic Towers, where you’ll face off against a set number of fighters. This remains true here, though the game takes it to a level of excess that’s just more irritating than it is fun. The single player progression in Mortal Kombat games has always been tied to climbing towers whilst defeating opponents along the way. There’s very little reason for this to be in the game, as it’s one of the most boring modes available. There are the expected Local fights, online multiplayer, but there are also AI battles where you can pit your fighters AI against that of other players in a sort of asyncronous multiplayer mode. This is where the game starts to get confused. Why Should I Care?Īpart from the Story mode, Mortal Kombat 11 offers up a wealth of content, both single player and multiplayer. You might want to follow Sub-Zero’s line, or you might want to see what Scorpion gets up to. Playing through the story will have you facing off as several characters, with the occasional option to choose which character you want to play as part of the current chapter. Those things just add a level of believability to the narrative that the older titles never had. Kung Lao’s jealousy starts to show through. Johnny gets to see just how much of a jerk he actually was when he was younger. This narrative device also allows for some very interesting character development for many of the main characters. Merging all of the timelines into one causes chaos, but it also allows her to shape events once and for all… or so she believes.

And, I even found two new secrets I'd never found before - a cool crystal-y underground area, and speed shoes on top of a mountain that I needed to jump to from a ramp at the end of a very tricky corkscrew loop. ![]() If this is the level of the competition, then Utopia absolutely deserves to be the one that gets singled out as an example to follow, even more than I thought it did.ĭOUBLE EDIT: These games started to seriously make me doubt my memories, so I went back and played through Utopia again just to confirm it was as good as I remembered. ![]() I guess a roll button can't save everything on its own after all.īasically, playing these two fangames just reinforced in my mind how well-put-together Utopia is. Sonic Utopia is an experiment that not only tries to expand on Sonic gameplay in an intuitive way in 3D, but also aims to capture the best of Sonics style and tie it together in a cohesive experience Knuckles is at his Island, protecting the Master Emerald when suddenly Eggman came up and stole it Sonic Robo Blast is the new adventures of. The level designs, too, somehow fell under what I thought was a very low standard. Everything from the camera to the turning, the acceleration to the momentum, it all feels horribly wrong. With even the bare minimum middling-to-poor level design, running around with a roll button (and physics that use it well) is already satisfying all on its own.ĮDIT: Holy moly did I underestimate what a big qualifier "and physics that use it well" was! These two games are both severely unpleasant to play. ![]() It seems like you're implying that these fangames are hugely / critically flawed, and they probably are, but I'm still interested anyway, because a roll button is just that awesome to play with. Lastly, this study extends existing discussions within sound studies to consider the cultural implications of music technology, noise politics, electronic timbre, multitrack audio, digital analytical techniques and online communities built through social media.I haven't played either of these, but from a quick skim of the videos you posted they both seem to have roll buttons, so I'm immediately interested. The following three chapters provide case studies of individual popular artists' use of electronic music technology to express societal and political discontent: 1) Jimi Hendrix's application of distortion and stereo effects to narrate an Afrofuturist consciousness in the 1960s 2) Trent Reznor's aggressive industrial rejection of Conservatism in the 1980s and 3) Deadmau5's mediation of online life through computer-based production and performance in the 2000s. Chapter Two traces the emergence of the electronic synthesizer as a new sound that facilitated the transition of a technological postwar American culture into the politicized counterculture of the 1960s. I examine how electronic music technology introduces new sounds concurrent with generational shifts, projects imagined utopian and dystopian futures, and engages the tension between automated modern life and emotionally validating musical communities in real and virtual spaces.Ĭhapter One synthesizes this interdisciplinary American studies project with the growing scholarship of sound studies in order to construct theoretical models for popular music analysis drawn from the fields of musicology, history, and science and technology studies. ![]() I further argue that the use of electronics in popular music signifies a technologically-obsessed postwar American culture moving rapidly towards an online digital revolution. This study demonstrates how electronic noise, as an extra-musical element, creates modern soundscapes that require a new mapping of musical form and social intent. Grounded in Jacques Attali's critical theories about the political economy of music, this dissertation investigates how the subversive noise of electronic sound challenges a controlling order and predicts broad cultural realignment. Interdisciplinary methodological practices address these limitations and can help broaden the analytical scope of popular idioms. Traditional musical analysis, placing primacy on notated music, generally focuses on harmony, melody, and form, with issues of timbre and postproduction effects remaining largely unstudied. Twentieth-century popular music is fundamentally associated with electronics in its creation and recording, consumption, modes of dissemination, and playback. ![]() ![]() You had a wolf phase that either ended gracefully by the end of elementary’s halcyon days or went partially malignant in your late high school career. I’ve had a lot of time to ponder something that’s floated around in my head since I was 12, something I’ve long argued about with friends: which species in Animal Crossing are the best? After going through every single non-special NPC in the game, I’ve made some definitive decisions on which of God’s beautiful creatures are, well, the most beautiful, and which you’re probably going to want to send packing on their move-in date. I’m taking a much more peaceful approach to deal with my own problem villagers, instead opting to ignore them for days on end until they get the message (still working on this with Claude the rabbit, he just can’t take a hint). As a fan of the series since the Gamecube era, I’m well attuned with the song-and-dance to make villagers leave, from digging holes around their houses to hitting them with nets. New Horizons has added many mechanics to craft your island into exactly what you envision it as, but there are some things they just won’t release control over-it can become a strong source of anxiety quick.

The arisen questions concern the effect of plant materials on gut microbiota and its effect on metabolic changes of phytochemicals and their bio-accessibility. However, the bidirectional influence of nutrients and gut microbiota determines health and beneficial effects for the host. Increasing attention has been paid to the significance of the gut microbiome in the development of obesity-related complications recently. The booster of these supportive fundamentals is an increased consumption of fruit and vegetables, taking into consideration that some of them inhibit the uptake of glucose and fructose or lipids. Promoting healthy, plant-based diets, reducing the fat, sugar, and salt content in processed foods, as well as increasing physical activity are key support in obesity prevention. Obesity is considered a risk factor for several chronic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes complicated by blindness, limb amputations, kidney failure, several cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders. In 2016, there were more than 39% (1.9 billion) overweight adults aged over 18 years. The prevalence of obesity has tripled since 1975, according to the World Health Organization. The presence of plants’ secondary metabolites in the intestinal fractions allows us to indicate them as responsible for decreasing glucose and lipid absorption.Ĭhanging life facilities leading to a decrease in physical activity in addition to an increased intake of energy-dense food results in obesity, which is dramatically increasing. In conclusion, cornuside, aromadendrin, and phenolic acids may be potentially bio-accessible compounds of CM. It was not detected in the samples after 6 and 24 h incubation with FS. ![]() Cornuside was found in FS analyte after 3 h incubation. Phenolic acids (protocatechuic acid, gallic acid), tannins (digalloylglucose, tri- O-galloyl- β-D-glucose), and flavonoids (aromadendrin, dihydroquercetin) were detected in the late phases of digestion in fecal slurry suspension. The metabolites originating from kinetic analytes have been classified mainly as phenolic acids, hydrolyzable tannins, and flavonoids. ![]() Cornusiin A was tentatively assigned in the gastric fraction. The signals of tannins were detected in all fractions. In all fractions, kaempferol hexoside and reduced forms of kaempferol, such as aromadendrin, and benzoic acid were assigned. It was found in most analytes such as salivary, gastric, intestinal, and even colon (fecal slurry, FS) fractions. ![]() Loganic acid as the main constituent of the extract was digested in the experimental conditions in contrast to cornuside. ![]() The gastric and intestinal fractions obtained after in vitro digestion of CM inhibited pancreatic lipase and α-amylase. The effect of fractions from gastrointestinal digestion in vitro on the activity of pancreatic lipase and α-amylase was studied with fluorescence-based assays. The digestion of extract was simulated with digestive enzymes in vitro and human gut microbiota ex vivo (1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 24 h), followed by chromatographic analysis using the UHPLC-DAD-MS n method. Taking into consideration the significance of bio-accessibility of compounds, we attempted to identify metabolites of CM after gastrointestinal digestion in vitro, as well as their kinetic changes upon gut microbiota treatment. Targeting pancreatic lipase and α-amylase by digestion-derived fractions of ethanolic-aqueous (60%, v/ v) extract from Cornus mas fruit (CM) in relation to the control and prevention of metabolic disorders, including diabetes, was the first purpose of the present study. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Mini II and Maxi II Eco with proportional electronic temperature control and manual turning are entry level models and ideal hatchers.
