Despite the rule makers creating a negative experience this way, they have a spirit of indifference to their own forced diminishment of enjoyment. It is ridiculous to argue otherwise, since the enjoyment of the game is maximized by a maximum vocabulary. When those running the puzzle arbitrarily decide that parts of one person’s vocabulary are invalid, that is a negative experience. However, the second key part is to have a large vocabulary. The most important part of this exercise is recalling whatever you know that may help advance your score. The puzzle basically tests players to recall their lexical range. I find that those running the puzzle diminish the joy of playing. Does it really matter what dictionary it is, because if the Spelling Bee says it’s a word, then well, it’s a word, because you’ll gladly take those points every time. There is no time penalty or score penalty for entering a word that is not a valid Spelling Bee word. Some are the uncommon, lesser-known variations of common words.Īll this is to say, use your basic knowledge, and then just go from there. Some words appears to be how you might spell out a sound. Words you would never want to say to your mother are not going to be valid Spelling Bee words. So JOHN is okay, while JONATHAN probably would not be. Words that only exist as proper names do not count. Why is that? Well it officially, “ Spelling Bee has a separate curated word list that strives to incorporate commonly used words, with a couple challenging words from time to time.” Everyone else knows it’s a word, but why does it not show up and give you those six hard earned points? Well, it’s because it’s usually a different dictionary than we think it should be using.Īccording to the New York Times, we don’t really know what dictionary it uses. When you play the New York Times spelling bee, and then it says word not found, it is infuriating. ![]()

A skilled player can try to anticipate and preload rockets, but that's risky because they fire automatically when the last one loads, and six rockets into the floor in front of you will kill you no matter how much health and armour you have. Loading multiple rockets leaves you vulnerable as it doesn't load faster than shooting one by one. There are so many trade offs to make in power vs speed, distributed vs concentrated damage, guaranteed shot placement vs homing attempts, and direct shots vs shooting around obstacles. It's incredibly flexible, it's Sid Meier's "series of interesting decisions", except in rocket launcher form. Okay so they merged the two into one, how's that so interesting? Well you can hold the crosshair over an enemy for a couple of seconds to get a lock and fire your rocket in homing mode, you can hold down fire and load up to six rockets (this is OP, which is why it's been three in all subsequent games) and release them all at once in a fan pattern, you can get a lock and fire six homing rockets at a target, you can hold secondary fire before you release primary fire and send your rockets out in circle formation for a catastrophic hit. Primary fire seems the same as Q3's initially, and secondary fire is just Q3's grenade launcher. UT's rocket launcher on the other hand is probably the best one ever. It's a bit boring though, having no interesting features other than rocket jumping. It's probably your go to gun, especially if you aren't good with the railgun. Quake 3's certainly serviceable, there's nothing really wrong with it, it fires rockets, one at a time, at a moderate pace, doing moderate damage, with a moderate AoE. The shock combo is a lot harder to master than the railgun. You can use secondary fire, and then hit your projectile with primary fire for a massive explosion that does shitloads of damage and burns a lot of ammo. Not UT though, no, because the two fire modes interact. Most games would leave it here, as two guns in one. Secondary fire is where it gets interesting though, as that's a slow-moving ball with an AoE effect. The UT equivalent is obviously the shock rifle, primary fire is basically the same, except biased to lower damage and higher RoF. ![]() If your aim sucks, it's useless, but if your aim is good, it's the most dangerous weapon in the game. It's a perfectly accurate, hit-scan gun with high damage and very low rate of fire. They weren't as well balanced, but they were a lot more interesting and offered more tactical depth. It wasn't quite as refined as Quake 3, but it had better modes. Also you're a fag.īut seriously, UT was awesome. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Image credit: Xue Bing / Costfoto/Future Publishing via Getty Images) A meager year in 2023īut it's also, in the general vicinity of the comet where the heaviest concentrations of meteoroids are as well. Starry sky over Hora Mountain in Bayingoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on the early morning of Nov. Now the comet is on its way back toward the sun and inner solar system and will sweep closest to the sun again in May 2031. In 2016 Tempel-Tuttle reached aphelion, that point in its orbit, as far from the sun as it can get: 1.84 billion miles (2.96 billion km). That's why spectacular meteor showers were seen in 1999, 20, with declining numbers thereafter. That comet last swept through the inner solar system in 1998. The "lion's share" (no pun intended) of comet dust can be found just ahead and trailing behind Tempel-Tuttle. A meteor storm becomes possible only if Earth were to score a direct hit on a fresh dust trail ejected by the comet over the past couple of centuries. Each time the comet passes closest to the sun it leaves a "river of rubble" in its wake a dense trail of dusty debris. ![]() The meteors are caused by periodic Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which sweeps through the inner solar system every 33.3 years. The Leonids received their moniker because the shower's emanation point - from where the meteors seem to fan out - is located within the constellation of Leo, the Lion, from within the backward question mark pattern of stars known as "The Sickle." Such speeds tend to produce bright meteors, which leave long-lasting streaks or vapor trains in their wake.Ī mighty Leonid fireball can be quite spectacular, but such outstandingly bright meteors are likely to be very few and very far between this year (if any are seen at all).Īstrophotographer Jeff Berkes captured this shot of Leonid meteors over a house in New Jersey in 2012. local time, The Sickle will have climbed more than two-thirds of the way up from the southeast horizon to the point directly overhead (called the zenith).Īlso, because the Leonids are moving along in their orbit around the sun in a direction opposite to that of Earth, they slam into our atmosphere nearly head-on, resulting in the fastest meteor velocities possible: 45 miles (72 km) per second. As dawn is about to break at around 5 a.m. ![]() Leo does not start coming fully into view until the after-midnight hours, so that would be the best time to concentrate on looking for Leonids. Keep in mind that any local light pollution or obstructions like tall trees or buildings will further reduce your chances of making a meteor sighting. It consists of lying back, looking up at the sky and waiting. Watching a meteor shower is a relatively straightforward pursuit. And that's only assuming you have a wide-open view of the entire sky and are blessed with dark, non-light polluted conditions. But whatever forecast you trust, be mindful that even at their very best, Leonids are expected to dart across your line of sight on an average of once every 3 to 6 minutes. on Friday evening and will pose no interference whatsoever. The moon is a waxing crescent and will set before 8:30 p.m. The International Meteor Organization (IMO) forecasts hour rates of 10 to 15 per hour with a peak at around 5:00 UT on Nov.

Many of those songs ended up on Super Eurobeat releases, either performed by Dave Rodgers or one of the dozens of artists he produced and wrote for. I was very focused and busy,” Rodgers says. “My company was producing about 18 to 24 songs a month. By the end of the decade, it had even inspired its own type of dancing, referred to as para para, revolving around hand movements. Compilations like major label Avex’s still-ongoing Super Eurobeat series delivered fresh tunes monthly, while Japanese stars rode the sound to the top of the charts. First coming to popularity in Japan in the 1980s thanks to club-driven interest in dance genres such as Hi-NRG and Italo Disco, Eurobeat became a phenomenon. “The excitement was very high, and I don’t think I understood exactly what was happening in that period.”Įurobeat was the backbone of J-pop in the 1990s. ![]() “From 1985 to 2002, my music was everywhere -on the streets, in music stores, at Tokyo Disneyland,” says the 60-year-old Rodgers. Italian artist and producer Dave Rodgers, born Giancarlo Pasquini, shaped many of those dance hits, becoming omnipresent in the country. While the previous decade’s economic bubble had popped, people could still find revelry in songs with high energy beats and delirious synth melodies, whether they be on CD singles or blaring out of a Tokyo megaclub’s soundsystem. Japan’s pop music industry hit a peak in the 1990s, recording huge sales figures and attracting attention from neighboring Asian nations. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re not able to uninstall Avast Secure Browser from the Control Panel in the traditional way, don’t worry!

Spread of microorganisms (including Candida, Aspergillus, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, etc.) to the eye through blood stream due to contaminated needles can lead to endogenous endophthalmitis 2, 3. Intravenous drug abuse can lead to microemboli in retinal microcirculation leading to retinal ischaemia 2, 3. The changes that can be produced in the eye by toxic drugs range from mild/no symptoms to severe loss of vision and endophthalmitis resulting in a permanent loss of sight. The routes of administration of these drugs include oral ingestion, smoking, nasal inhalation, intravenous injection, topical application or application to other mucosal surfaces 1. Understanding their adverse effects on the eye can aid in early diagnosis and initiating appropriate treatment.
