![]() Wide variety of game modes with clear instructions is awesome If you decide to tie your FB account to the game, that's where you will see extra cash! After every race, acheivements, leveling up, and objective met you receive up to $5,000 in game cash per post! Pros: Having access to nice cars happen's soon than you think. Playing on my iPad 2, I found the graphics rich and with NO lag, the level of detail is beautiful and with AirPlay no problems encountered. After playing for at least an hour, I re alized that out of pocket purchases are not warented nor, necessary. New special events with 2 wild Nissan challengesNew limited-time Nissan track through TokyoTwo brand new Nissan cars: the Juke Nismo and Juke-Rįinally a version of Asphalt worthy of it's rich street racing history!.Īfter downloading Asphalt 7 Heat, I was still in,'sticker shock', then I thought just another freemium release. ![]() New special events with 2 wild Nissan challengesNew limited-time Nissan track through TokyoTwo brand new Nissan cars: the Juke Nismo and Juke-R Changes Hopefully, these glitches will be fixed in future updates.Įven with these minor flaws, Asphalt 7: Heat is up there with the best racing games for iOS, thanks to its pristine graphics and huge gameplay. For instance, you can find yourself just driving 'through' another car or barrier. It's unfortunate that, at least with the version we tried, there were a few graphical and collision detection issues with Asphalt 7: Heat. Races in Asphalt 7: Heat are thrilling to say the least, and the inclusion of collectible items and insane nitros makes it all the more enjoyable. It works very well, but if you want to change the controls in Asphalt 7: Heat you can, and there are four systems to choose from. The default control system is based around tilting your device to steer, tapping the left of the screen to brake and the right side to apply nitros. Playing Asphalt 7: Heat is a real delight, not least because of its fluid control system. There are 15 different stunningly-recreated city and countryside courses set in a diverse range of locations including Hawaii, London, Havana, Tokyo, LA, The Alps, and Reykjavik. The cars look awesome, but it's the backdrops that really take your breath away in Asphalt 7: Heat. Graphically, Asphalt 7: Heat is without doubt the best of the series so far, and the visuals are as good as anything on the iOS platform to date, including Firemint's Real Racing 2. You can even race in the DeLorean from the Back to the Future movies! Vehicles are tiered in seven sets of similarly-powered cars, ranging from the likes of the Mini and Range Rover in the first tier, to supercars such as the Ferrari FFX and Bugati Veyron in the upper tier. The range of vehicles you can unlock in Asphalt 7: Heat is impressive. Better still, enter the Multiplayer mode and you'll be able to battle it out against a friend over Bluetooth/WiFi, or take on up to 5 others online. If you want a less structured game mode, try Quick Play, where you can enter any kind of race, in any location, racing with any of the vehicles that you've unlocked. As is the norm with Gameloft games these days, you can purchase stars to 'fast-track' your progress in the game. Progress through the career mode in Asphalt 7: Heat is based around earning money and star points to level up and unlock cars and races. The gameplay in each of these is different enough to keep your interest levels high. There are different kinds of races within Asphalt 7: Heat, including Normal, Drift, Elimination, Beat 'Em All, Paint Job, and King of the Hill. ![]() There are 13 cups to be unlocked in total, each consisting of four different races. ![]() Career mode in Asphalt 7: Heat sees you attempt to progress through a series of cup competitions. ![]() Idina Menzel is on top form once again with her vocals and is given the chance to flourish with two solos well deservedly. Having said that, all of the vocals in the piece are flawless. Did the world need a ‘Seven Nation Army/ Whatta Man’ mash-up? It feels a little messy, and further choices just don’t seem to fit very well within the storyline. The choice of songs in the musical are a little strange. Cabello puts in an excellent performance vocally and has some comedic moments to try and distinguish her from previous Cinderella’s. Acaster - as one of the mice - has a particularly humorous scene when he is adapting to being temporarily changed to a human.Ĭamilla Cabello takes on the role of Cinderella or in this case Ella, and she manages to add a bit of feistiness and grit to the character in what feels like a very ‘millennial’ way. Pierce Brosnan and Minnie Driver are excellent as the King and Queen, really carrying the scenes that they are in Beverley Knight makes a wonderful cameo as Queen Tatiana comedians James Acaster, Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett get to show off their acting abilities and whilst a little reigned in from their usual performance, they are funny and add to the scenes they are in. ![]() The cast assembled is a flurry of Hollywood and British household names and they manage to make the characters at least slightly interesting. Having Cinderella wanting to become a dressmaker and forge her own career instead of simply accepting her place in society is an excellent addition to the story. The film has attempted to take a very familiar tale and put a new spin on it, and whilst to some degree it does add interesting plot advances, it struggles to find its own identity. Written and directed by Kay Cannon, the film is produced by James Corden. This film will certainly not be everyone’s cup of tea. The winning outfit was the Yin Yang Fantasy by Mahak Bhatia, Manvi Goel and Harshit Sharma, The Astria Dress by Disha Gupta and Nishita Singhal were the first runners-up and Avyanna by Rohit Mane and Sanskriti Jha were declared the second runners-up.There is only one word to describe the new Cinderella now premiering on Amazon Prime and that is unique. Out of the many that participated, top 3 were selected unanimously by the faculty of Pearl Academy and Elle Magazine’s Fashion Editor. This Pan-India activity saw participation in hundreds, where they were tasked with creating their version of the Classic Cinderella Outfit by retaining the feminine colour of the outfit, yet represent strength, fearlessness and comfort in their version. In a unique collaboration with Pearl Academy to create modern day costumes for the modern day Cinderella, students across various faculties of Fashion Design, Fashion Styling & Image Design, Fashion Media communication from Pearl Academy Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur and Bangalore created the costumes for the new-age Cinderella. The special series resonated with the women of today, as the campaign recorded a cumulative reach of 1.3M+ across 4 episodes.Īssociation with Pearl Academy and engagement with fashion designing students As part of the collaboration, ‘She The People’ featured inspiring journeys of Journalist Faye D Souza, Comedian Supriya Joshi, Superbiker Neharika Yadav, and athlete Dutee Chand in a 4 episode series talking about their life and journeys mirroring the one that Cinderella’s protagonist leads. To celebrate this spirit, Amazon Prime Video partnered with leading lifestyle and women’s portal ‘She The People’ to celebrate India's Cinderellas. With that, the recent modern day rendition of Cinderella brought this to the forefront - a rebellious, change seeking Cinderella. As we see the society progress, we see its reflection in the narratives of the films - especially the way women are perceived in the real world.
![]() I do single codebase development where the same C/C++ code will build on Linux, Windows, MacOS, BSD and Solaris. Not to deliver a Windows build on an embedded system, rather for testing and QA of the same embedded system codebase in Windows with access to the superb Microsoft Visual Studio debugger and its excellent static code checker that detects memory overruns.Īlthough libunistd was predominately written by me, appreciate any good bug fixes, patches or pull requests. Libunistd is being used for safety-critical Linux embedded systems. Libunistd later moved from SourceForge to github and has been continuously improved, with more and more BSD and System V calls added. ![]() CinePaint is an open source HDR paint application used in making motion pictures, including the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings films. Libunistd was originally created to port Linux CinePaint to Windows in 2002. Similar for Qdecoder, Sqlite and xxHash, however you should check their license terms yourself as libunistd is not the owner of these other open source libraries. In other words, you may do pretty much whatever you want with libunistd. Uuid: A small unique identifier library created elsewhere. XxHash: A small hash library created elsewhere. Sqlite: A small SQL library created elsewhere. Qdecoder: A small HTTP library created elsewhere. Portable: System classes, such as StdFile that encapsulates the standard FILE* C API into a C++ class with constructors and destructors. Libunistd has some additional small libraries that are not POSIX, but can be useful to those of us developing cross-platform code. Look up in the Linux man page the "unknown" function and include all the header files that the Linux man page says it requires. If you port Linux code to FreeBSD or Mac OS X, you may have encountered this before, that the compiler sometimes objects to unknown POSIX functions. As a result, sometimes Linux code will compile that's not strictly legit, that it hasn't explicitly included all necessary header files. In Linux, some standard headers include other standard header files. When porting your Linux program to Windows for the first time, you may have to include more POSIX headers than were necessary in your Linux code. It implements many other header files that are POSIX standards, including pthreads.h. Simply write C++ code as you would for Linux, and it should build in Visual Studio for Windows. Avoid #ifdef _WIN32 ugliness in your code. Because unistd.h exists in Linux as a standard header file, making this change for Windows will not break Linux code. Doing this will include the magic to make basic Linux APIs work in Windows. ![]() There are typical grinding ones for exp/money/weapons and items for both the early game and late game. Though, it is known as the black sheep of the FE series for a reason, so don't expect it to be super tactical (especially if you've played Conquest).ĭLC wise, the only ones I would really recommend are the story based Deliverance ones and the Cipher character ones (and of course the free ones cause they are free lol). If you like jrpgs, you'll like this one (probably). Also by any chance does this game have any online battle modes or street pass functions or has that also been disabled as well? Is it a good idea to pick up Echoes SOV alongside with the DLC packs that it offers and possibly extra amiibo features that it has included for better grinding and gold farming or is it better to just get the game by itself and then buy the DLC after I beat Echoes and the story mode of it? Some help would be super appreciated for a Fe semi-noob like me. I have already heard that the story, music and graphics are god-like, thankfully without spoilers, which is harder to come by lol. ![]() Fe Echoes SOV has weirdly caught my eye’s attention these past few days, since I have been craving something of an Fe based game that has different gameplay style and combat mechanics as opposed to Fates and Awakening which I have already beaten more than twice, and since I find the item finding or the quests to be a bit tedious to complete in 3H, I wanted to check out whether how good or how amazing is Echoes SOV really is in terms of combat mechanics, battle system. ![]() ![]() jQuery is what is used in the background with its wonderful set of widgets and numerous plugins. It also consists of the Mobile UI kit to create mobile web applications for handheld devices (IPhone, Palm, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and more). Why PrimeFaces?Īpplication developers love PrimeFaces, since it is based on well-defined goals and principles that help them with development. Simplicity: PrimeFaces is a lightweight component it is just one single jar file with no dependencies and no specific configurations required.Here are the top 3 reasons, why you should opt for PrimeFaces on your project. ![]() On Demand:Due to its add-on features,PrimeFaces has taken the lead with overall rating 9.4 (at time of writing) as the developers’ favorite framework to create rich user interfaces with Java as per.Easy to Use: PrimeFaces follows with the design principle: “A good UI component should hide complexity but keep the flexibility” while doing so.Due to this reason it gives a far better performance in UI application development. If the developers use Spring Framework and keep JSF as a front end, then PrimeFaces is better option as SpringSource suggests PrimeFaces to be used in JSF-Spring applications. The PrimeFaces team recently announced the release candidate of PrimeFaces 3.5 on January 21 st 2013 with over 175+ filed improvements.This version features new components, enhancements to existing components, major maintenance and more. Radhika Subramanian has a keen interest in researching on artificial neural networks and its implementation across various domains. She is a student at Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research and is currently working as Consultant Developer at Compassites Software Solutions, Pune. Her favorite quote is by Salvador Dali, which goes “Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.We are running into performance problems with using icefaces for some ajax request. We believe it is because Icefaces repaints the entire DOM tree after an Ajax request, thus affecting preformance. We are very interested in using the Primefaces p:ajax component to do some partial submits and page refreshs. rvePage(View.java:142) It seems IceFaces DOM render is confused by the DOM tree sent to the server or something of this nature? I have done a quick spike to see if it works (on a page that is rendered by icefaces) and immediatly encounted an error when Primefaces does an ajax post. : : viewId:/aggregation/searchOptions.xhtml - View /aggregation/searchOptions.xhtml could not be restored.Īt. ![]() Our assessments focus on the literary work – the signposts support us, but I don’t assess the student’s signpost reflections themselves. ![]() I stress to my students it is not about how many things we notice but about the thinking that is inspired by our noticing. In the end, we use a collection of short stories, picture books and film to practice the work. The haunting story of survival at a Residential School in Canada in the tween picture book I Am Not a Number provided my students with opportunities to learn about the tragedy of residential schools as well as practice signposts and reflection around theme and conflict with both Tough Questions and Again and Again throughout the story. White to illustrate Contrast and Contradiction, Tough Questions and Aha Moments served as a great example of multiple signposts, an awesome mentor text for descriptive writing, and a terrific entry for our First Chapter Friday read-alouds (see here & here) that had two students reading it that very day (one with the book another with the audio). Using the amazingly creepy first chapter of Nightbooks by J.A. The online ELA community is super helpful, recommending different novels and picture books that can serve as great examples to share with students as they continue to build their signposting skills. Some are in their third year of using the signposts with me so we are becoming creative in finding new examples. This year I have students from grades 7 to 9. (See these teacher notes from the book site about signposts in Walk Two Moons.) ![]() The example texts (see Companion Resources) are completely accessible for all students and serve as crystal clear examples of how the signposts work. There are Facebook groups out there and a lot of resources other teachers have crafted, but those are not a replacement for reading this education masterpiece. To do this I stick very strictly to the text examples supplied by the authors in their amazing book. Part of our class cultureĮach year in 7th grade I get to introduce the signposts to a new group of students. We do this through using many different forms of text including short stories, picture books, video shorts and novel excerpts. Students in my class first learn to simply identify signposts and then they move to application. They’ve also written a book about non-fiction which has its own unique signposts – but what I write here will focus on the six for fiction and some ways I use them in my classroom, from guided practice to independent use through reading response and class discussion.Īll signposts assist students in looking at different elements of a story (e.g., conflict, theme) and in making predictions or an inference. The strategies have a strong research base.īeers and Probst identify six signposts associated with fiction and literature. Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Reading, for those who have not read the book, provides readers with signposts – tools to help detect moves made by authors that serve as indicators something is happening. It has transformed the way I approach reading instruction, and I hope this post will inspire you to take a look at it as well. A month in, I would like to focus in on the wonderful reading strategy developed by Kylene and Bob – Notice and Note – and talk about how I use it in my classroom. In my late August post, I laid out my plan for reading instruction this year. What they have shared has changed my life as an educator. Every school year I start out talking about the work of two great literacy educators – Kylene Beers and Robert Probst. Moreover, because there is no consensus on the precise definition of long-term finance, wherever possible, rather than use a specific definition of long-term finance, the report provides granular data showing as many maturity buckets and comparisons as possible.Įxtending the maturity structure of finance is often considered to be at the core of sustainable financial development. Depending on data availability and the focus, the report uses one of these two definitions to characterize the extent of long-term finance. The Group of 20, by comparison, uses a maturity of five years more adapted to investment horizons in financial markets (G-20 2013). The one year cut-off maturity corresponds to the definition of fixed investment in national accounts. Equity, which has no final repayment date of a principal, can be seen as an instrument with nonfinite maturity. Maturity refers to the length of time between origination of a financial claim (loan, bond, or other financial instrument) and the final payment date, at which point the remaining principal and interest are due to be paid. Long-term finance can be defined as any financial instrument with maturity exceeding one year (such as bank loans, bonds, leasing and other forms of debt finance), and public and private equity instruments.
