12/18/2023 0 Comments Sims 4 seasons review![]() ![]() Plus, most of the decorations are versatile, with swatches for as many holidays and seasons as I can think of.ĭiscussion of decorations, though, leads me right into the gameplay features of this new pack. I can see people who wouldn’t be as excited about these as I am, because it may seem like a hassle to decorate your sim’s house for each new holiday and season, but for people who love to get into the weeds of all that detail, it’s a welcome addition. The bulidmode objects are chock full of fun new decorations for all the holidays, which is something I, as a person who loves realism in their game, really appreciate. I hope the team continues to add content like this to the game. The new hairstyles are gorgeous, and are different than anything I’ve ever seen from this series, and is a nice step forward toward more inclusivity. ![]() The Sims team has commented that they’ve been working to make the Sims 4 more diverse and inclusive, and this pack’s focus on textured hairs really puts their money where their mouth is. I like how the clothing items all have many color options and all look like something people would wear in real life.Īlso, I have to give props to the new hairstyles in particular. It’s clear the Sims team has been working hard on making their textures look more unique and realistic than ever. We got a nice look at the new CAS items in the livestream, and then and now I was struck by how diverse the new clothing and hairstyles look. I was very impressed with both the CAS and object selections from this new pack. And finally, I feel as though expansions especially should really change how the game runs and improve upon the game to a degree that playing the game without that expansion would be markedly different. I also think the best expansions have broad appeal – that is, no matter what type of simmer you are, you can find something to enjoy in the new content. That means they should have a broad assortment of new CAS items, new objects, and new gameplay. Ideally, expansions should have the most game-changing content of the three types of DLC for this game. Let’s start off with a little info on what I, personally, like to see in a Sims expansion. Sims needed a pack that would appeal to a broad range of simmers, and affect the game enough that it couldn’t be brushed off as a waste of money. And though packs came out after MFPS that were good (I have since gotten Jungle Adventures and actually really enjoyed it), these packs still had that problem of nicheness. No amount of good PR for a below-average expansion could have saved the Sims from the My First Pet Stuff debacle, in my opinion. I wanna start with this because I think it’s the most important. How did one expansion turn the fandom’s opinion around so totally? Well… it’s a lot of factors, from the quality of the expansion itself, to the context surrounding it, to the way it was advertised and released. It’s good enough that it makes me feel better about this franchise’s future… and that’s really saying something, considering how the popular theory in the Sims fandom not too long ago was that Sims 4 was on its way out. Since I wrote about EA’s greed ruining a franchise I loved, huge news dropped regarding the newest expansion… one Sims fans have been asking for for a long time. Last time I talked about the Sims, it was maybe not in the most positive or optimistic of lights. It seemed like the game was stuck in a rut that I wasn’t sure it would ever be able to struggle its way out of.Īnd yet… things have changed since that post. ![]()

12/18/2023 0 Comments Water aerobics routines![]() ![]() ![]() If pool exercises are something you take advantage of regularly, waterproof water or a timer can be another great piece of equipment for water aerobics. Try bicep curls, flyers, shoulder shrugs or lateral raises with water weights in the pool for some great strength-building exercises. You can use them just as you would use dumbbells in a normal strength workout. Water weights, or pool weights, are just dumbbells that are made for the water. While the water does act as natural resistance, a resistance band can provide an additional boost. Resistance BandĪ resistance band is a great piece of equipment for water aerobics. Here are a few of our favorite items to use for a pool workout. ![]() When it comes to water workouts, it can be helpful to make use of water aerobics equipment. Related: Best Home Gym Equipment For Seniors Water Aerobics Equipment Whether you’re not naturally flexible or you have a limited range of motion due to a recent injury, arthritis, or other conditions, water workouts can help increase your flexibility over time. The way your body moves through the water when paired with the resistance it provides, naturally stretches out your muscles. When you pair that with aerobic exercise, you get improved cardiovascular endurance, yet another reason why pool exercises for seniors are so great! 5. When you’re in cooler water, your blood moves through your body quicker in order to warm you up. Not only will you tone muscle with water workouts, but you will also increase your cardio endurance. I started noticing a big dip in my energy levels when I hit my 50’s, and now I take an electrolyte supplement before every work out. With all the electrolytes your body will be losing, it’s important to rebalance. Plus, water workouts combine strength movements with cardio, and we all know that when your workout combines cardio and strength, it’s more effective at helping you lose weight. Seniors who incorporate pool exercise can effectively burn more calories than land exercise when doing the same movements (walking, for example). Burns Mega Caloriesīecause of the added resistance in the water, you’re actually working harder than you would on land to complete the same movement, even if it doesn’t feel like that. Resistance in water can be anywhere from 4 to 42 times greater than on land, making a pool or body of water a natural weight training machine! Unlike machines, though, water provides resistance to movement in any direction. ![]() Water acts as natural resistance for each of your moves. Still, don’t confuse low-impact with low intensity. Whether you suffer from joint pain, you’re just getting back into exercise after some time off, or you simply want a lower-impact form of exercise to offset some higher-impact activities you do (running, HIIT workouts), water workouts are perfect for you. It’s not just seniors that benefit from the low-impact option water workouts provide. Next time you’re feeling bored with your elliptical or walking workout routine and want a fun, new challenge, remind yourself of the benefits of pool workouts: 1. There are so many reasons to take your workout to the pool this summer (not to mention it offers you a way to get outdoors)! Water aerobic exercise helps you burn fat, build stamina, and is easy on your joints. In less than 30 minutes, you’ll blast fat and add muscle-no swim caps required. The pool exercises for seniors below are a great water workout that will help to burn calories and build strength at the same time by combining high-intensity cardio moves with plyometric exercises. However, pool exercises for seniors aren’t just for seniors, this is a water workout that anyone can (and should!) do! Water aerobic exercises are a great option for seniors who have problems with balance, sciatica pain, or issues with their joints, including arthritis. This also makes the same moves that would be difficult to do on land feel easier in the pool. The buoyancy of water lessens the pull of gravity, making you feel lighter and more balanced while also reducing the impact on your knees. If you haven’t given water workouts a try, you’re missing out on one of the best low-impact workouts you can do! Swimming, water aerobics, and pool exercises for seniors are an ideal way to get your heart rate up while being easy on your joints. ![]() 12/18/2023 0 Comments Onion browser definition![]() ![]() You can get on with running searches, browsing websites and generally using the web as normal, right off the bat. Click Connect and Tor Browser connects to a Tor guard relay. When you launch Tor Browser it will ask if you'd like to connect to Tor. This includes the extra software necessary to make Tor work, but another advantage is that it also bundles the excellent NoScript and HTTPS Everywhere extensions for even more protection. Running the installer sets your device up with Tor Browser, which is a special version of Firefox. While there's no iOS version, the site does have downloads for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, so most folks are catered for. How can I use Tor?ĭespite Tor's powerful tech and many privacy-protecting features, it's very easy to use and you can be up and running in no time if you feel it’s well suited to your needs.įirst up, you’ll need to visit the official Tor website and download the right version of Tor for your platform. Tor separates the knowledge of who you are (your incoming IP address) and the website you're visiting, which makes it much more difficult to record your activities. What’s more, VPNs require you to log into a server, which then sees every website you visit and that, theoretically at least, could mean your data is logged as a result. Tor, on the other hand, uses multiple layers, but these are peeled off as you travel from server to server. VPNs have a single layer of encryption, which protects you from end-to-end. However, there are several differences in how the process works, which differentiates it somewhat from a conventional VPN arrangment.įor example, while VPNs typically use a single server, Tor routes your data through at least three. Tor uses the same core principle as a VPN service: it hides your IP address from websites by routing your traffic through another server. It passes its response back to the exit node, which routes it through the Tor network and back to you. Your target website sees the IP address of the Tor exit node rather than yours, so has even less idea of who you are. When your data reaches the last relay, also called the exit node, it removes the final layer of encryption and routes your web request to its real destination. All they do is remove a layer of encryption and pass the data to the next relay. The subsequent relays don't have your IP address or know which site you're trying to visit. The only information it has is the address of the next relay. It can't see which site you're trying to access either, which means there's no way to log what you're doing. The guard relay knows your IP address, but has no other clues to your identity. ![]() In fact, Tor stands for 'The Onion Router', and takes its name from this layering idea. The first (or 'guard') relay receives your data and peels off the first layer of encryption, like the layer of an onion. This involves encrypting your data multiple times, then passing it through a network of volunteer-run servers (or 'relays') from around the world. ![]() ![]() The documents were included as part of disclosures made to the Securities and Exchange Commission and provided to Congress in redacted form by Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen’s legal counsel. “Our ability to detect vaccine hesitancy comments is bad in English and basically non-existent elsewhere,” one of the March 2021 reports stated. “Our internal systems are not yet identifying, demoting and/or removing anti-vaccine comments often enough,” the report pointed out.Īdditional reports a month later raised concerns about the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy - which in some cases may amount to misinformation - in comments, which employees said Facebook’s systems were less equipped to moderate than posts. “We have no idea about the scale of the problem when it comes to comments,” an internal research report posted to Facebook’s internal site in February 2021, a year into the pandemic, noted. (FB) documents suggest a disconnect between what the company has said publicly about its overall response to Covid-19 misinformation and some of its employees’ findings concerning the issue. In doing so, it claimed that “more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any other place on the internet.” "In the meanwhile, as we continue to support and encourage research on TB vaccines, diagnostics and drugs, we should dramatically scale up our efforts to provide life-saving TB diagnosis and treatment to every person who needs it.In public, Facebook has touted the resources it has dedicated to tackling Covid-19 and vaccine misinformation, even scolding US President Joe Biden for his harsh criticism of the company’s handling of the issue. Under these circumstances, we have to embark on research with a greater sense of urgency," said Dr Lucica Ditiu, Executive Secretary of the Stop TB Partnership. "It seems we must wait longer than we hoped to have a fully effective TB vaccine. The vaccine was originally developed and investigated by the University of Oxford. This Phase IIb study was sponsored by Aeras and conducted by the University of Cape Town’s South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (SATVI). "This trial also has demonstrated that it is possible to conduct a large efficacy trial among infants in an area with high TB incidence - which will provide the basis for testing other TB vaccine candidates now in the pipeline."įunding for this clinical trial was provided by Aeras, a nonprofit biotech with a social mission to develop TB vaccines, The Wellcome Trust, and the Oxford-Emergent Tuberculosis Consortium (OETC), a joint venture between the University of Oxford and Emergent BioSolutions. For example, as the authors note, further analysis of the data should reveal a great deal about how the body’s immune system protects against TB and what is necessary to develop an effective vaccine," said Dr Mario Raviglione, Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Stop TB Department. "It is of course disappointing that this particular vaccine candidate was not efficacious, but the trial had other important outcomes. The vaccine candidate also did not provide statistically significant protection from infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which was a secondary efficacy endpoint. There were 32 cases of TB among children who had received the vaccine compared with 39 in the placebo group. However, the researchers found an effectiveness of just 17%, which is so low as to be statistically non-significant. The trial, which took place in South Africa and involved 2794 healthy children aged four to six months, found the vaccine was well tolerated, and there was no evidence of any harm to the trial participants. The results of this Phase IIb clinical trial - the first of its kind to be conducted since the BCG was introduced in 1921 - were published in The Lancet today.

12/18/2023 0 Comments History and uses of old style typeface![]() ![]() People have continued to use old-style numbers in various contexts, including books, newspapers, and signage, over time. These numbers have a distinctive appearance, with varying heights, ascenders, and descenders resembling lowercase letters. The designers designed them to harmonize with lowercase letters, making them more aesthetically pleasing in body text. Old-style numbers, lowercase or text figures, were first introduced in the 18th century. The history and evolution of old font numbers can be traced back to the early days of printing.
