![]() Evangelicals, having amassed considerable political and cultural power, harnessed it to advance a candidate whose character profoundly dismayed many adherents, especially the women. ![]() More than just a memoir, Moore’s book is a snapshot of what a particular moment in American religious history-the rise of Trump and his weaponization of the pro-life issue-looked like from the inside. By her mid-40s she had a string of successful books to her name, a lot of fans, and a lot of critics. Married by the age of 21, she had two daughters in quick succession and as they grew so did the number of invitations to teach. For five years, it was leading aerobics to Christian worship music and occasionally talking about “making fitness count for Christ.” Eventually, the talking overtook the working out. She writes of a numinous experience at 18, alone at the sink of a camp bathroom, which led her to believe she had some kind of calling, but it was unclear to what. In Moore’s telling, she never set out to be a prominent Christian teacher, nor a feminist champion. She suggests that living with Keith’s illness was made more difficult by her belief that a husband is head of the family and a wife should not be the one making decisions. These were complicated by the fact that, as she reveals in the book, her husband Keith Moore, who survived a horrible childhood accident that killed his brother, has PTSD and bipolar disorder. Moore told her father she forgave him at his deathbed, but his behavior had already had ripple effects throughout her life, including a period of depression in her 30s. Her father sexually abused her and cheated in a way that drove her mother into mental illness and to the brink of suicide, yet her parents remained married until her mother died. ![]() She was one of five siblings in a tight family “zipped up inside the unknown together” that looked like it was doing better than it was. Moore was raised in Arkansas and Texas in one of those childhoods populated by elderly relatives with such old-timey attributes as an eye lost to lye soap, or a spit jar for chewing tobacco, or a willingness to walk a cow 33 miles to a new home. But All My Knotted Up Life reveals something a little more complicated: a damaged but determined woman who, after being adopted into and nourished by a community, realized that the same network of threads that supported her through tough times was now strangling her. From the outside, Moore’s actions looked like the brave stance of a modern woman against the patriarchy. ![]()

![]() Forty children (aged 6â8 years) were randomly assigned to either the experimental group ( n = 20), which received a 6-week (12-session) keyboard harmonica curriculum, or an untrained control group ( n = 20). Consequently, the present exploratory pilot study investigated the effect of a six-week instrumental practice program (i.e., playing the keyboard harmonica) on children's cognitive functions using a randomized controlled trial. Moreover, effects of short-term (
![]() ![]() You can trigger automatic generation with the circled arrow button. Why? Because, if you stick to the naming convention mentioned before, Glyphs can create ligature features automatically. ![]() Automatic codeĪnd now, to your great disappointment, I have to admit that we did all this for nothing. You do need a working internet connection for this, of course. In case you are unsure what the OpenType feature in question is intended for, click the Spec button in the top right, and you are taken to the official definition of the feature on the Microsoft page. If there is too much to fix, and errors are preventing you from exporting the font, but you need a quick test export, you can disable a broken feature with the active checkbox at the top. Other fixes include corrections for mistyped keywords or suggestions for glyph names. If you click on the Fix button in this case, Glyphs will insert the missing semicolon for you. When we type our rule into our liga feature, Glyphs will offer us autocompletion: So in case your features don’t work, chances are you forgot the semicolon. Easy, you may say, but this actually is the number one source of errors. And now, very super-important: each rule takes a semicolon at its end.In our case, we have the three letters f, f and k molded into one, so it’s called f_f_k. Remember the naming convention for ligatures: the names of the individual letters connected by underscores. After by, we tell the font what comes instead.Imagine our code line was sub f f k f_f_k, then it might as well be that f f was to be replaced by the sequence k f_f_k. If we didn’t put the keyword by after the sequence, it wouldn’t be clear what is to be replaced by what.Please note that these are the actual glyph names, so ä would be spelled out as adieresis, ñ as ntilde etc. In this case, we have three glyphs: f, followed by another f, followed by k. Secondly, since we have a substitution, we need the sequence of glyphs that are to be replaced.And sub clearly denotes a substitution rule. As mentioned above, this can either be a substitution or a positioning rule. First, we have the keyword sub, which defines the kind of rule we are dealing with.Here is what such a rule looks like: sub f f k by f_f_k Rules define what gets substituted with what. When you build a feature, you actually put together a set of rules. In the dialog that appears, you type the glyph name for our ligature, f_f_k: ![]() There are many ways to add glyphs to your font, but we can create a ligature glyph quickly with Glyph > Add Glyphs… (Cmd-Shift-G). But for the purpose of this tutorial, let’s assume that the sequence of two f’s followed by a k could use a better representation with a ligature in our font. Don’t make your font worse with a bad or illegible ligature. Of course, you will only add a ligature if that single ligature glyph actually looks or works better than the individual glyphs. ![]() If those glyphs match a certain predefined sequence, the ligature feature will swap them for the ligature glyph. When the user types the characters, glyphs with the corresponding Unicode values will appear on their screen. Font geeks call this a ‘many-to-one’ or ‘ligature substitution’. They replace a sequence of two or more glyphs with one glyph. But what features can do, is change how that text is displayed, i.e., choose from the glyphs you have in your font. And sure enough, OpenType features cannot magically change the text the user had entered, i.e., the characters. Type designers are type designers because they create new glyphs when they draw letters, they rarely create characters by adding new keys to keyboards and submitting new encodings to the Unicode consortium. What is the difference, you ask? In short, characters are what you type, glyphs are what you see. Please note that I said glyphs, not characters. In this tutorial, we’ll focus on substitution. OpenType features can do two things: substitute glyphs and reposition glyphs. ![]() ![]() Even monsters use the environment, which was demonstrated by Ghouls scaling the walls to reach the Barbarian. For example, huge walls can be reduced to rubble to squash monsters. One of the features of the engine is that players are able to utilize the environment to help in their quest. Blizzard's proprietary engine will use custom in-house physics, a change from the original usage of Havok's physics engine. Instead, he becomes the new aspect of Wisdom, dedicated to building an alliance between angels and humans to confront evil.ĭiablo III is similar in style to its predecessor, Diablo II. Since Diablo was defeated, an Angel of Justice is no longer needed. ![]() ![]() After the battle, Tyrael decides to rejoin the High Heavens but remain a mortal. The Heroes encounter Diablo at the top of the Crystal Arch and eventually defeat Diablo, destroying his physical form. If Diablo corrupted the Crystal Arch, his victory over the High Heavens would be complete. The defending Angels warn the Heroes that Diablo is attempting to reach the Crystal Arch, which is the source of all of the angels' power. Tyrael and the Heroes follow Diablo to the High Heavens, where the city is under attack. Diablo then began his assault on the High Heavens, the defending angels being no match for him. However, now having the souls of all the Lords of Hell within him, Diablo became the Prime Evil, the most powerful demon in existence. Using Leah as a sacrifice, Adria resurrected Diablo. She also tells the group that Leah's father is Diablo, making her the perfect vessel for his physical form. She reveals that she has been Diablo's agent from the beginning, and that everything she had done up until this point was part of her plan to resurrect him. However, Adria betrays the group and takes the Black Soulstone with all the demonic souls inside. Azmodan is defeated and his soul trapped in the Black Soulstone. With Tyrael, Adria, and Leah staying behind to protect the Black Soulstone, the Heroes push out from the keep and into Mount Arreat. Tyrael, Adria, Leah, and the Heroes journey to Bastion's Keep, the only line of defense between Azmodan's forces and the rest of Sanctuary. As Leah studied in Caldeum's library to find more answers about the Black Soulstone and Azmodan, she received a vision from Azmodan, who told her that he is sending an army from the ruins of Mount Arreat to take the Black Soulstone for himself. The Heroes kill Belial and trap his soul within the Black Soulstone, freeing Caldeum. Kulle reveals its hiding place and completes the unfinished Soulstone, but is killed by the Heroes after he attempts to steal it. In order to obtain the Black Soulstone, the Heroes resurrect the mad Horadric mage, Zoltun Kulle. Adria tells Tyrael and the Heroes that the key to stopping the demons is the Black Soulstone, which can trap the souls of the seven Lords of Hell and destroy them forever. The Heroes kill Maghda, and rescue Leah's mother, Adria. ![]() To avenge Cain's death, the Heroes track Maghda to the city of Caldeum, which is controlled by her master, Belial. Tyrael reveals that he was disgusted with his fellow angels' unwillingness to protect humanity from the forces of Hell, so he cast aside his divinity to become a mortal, and came to warn Sanctuary about the arrival of the demon lords Belial and Azmodan. The Heroes rescue the stranger and return his sword, causing him to regain his memories: he is fallen angel Tyrael. Cain, dying from Maghda's torture, uses the last of his strength to repair the sword and instructs the Heroes to return it to the stranger. However, the Heroes force Maghda to flee, and she kidnaps the stranger instead. ![]() The Heroes retrieve the pieces, but the witch Maghda captures Cain and the pieces, attempting to force him to repair the sword for herself. This stranger has no memories except that he lost his sword, which was shattered into three pieces. The Heroes rescue Cain and finds that the fallen star is a person. One of the townspeople, Leah, asks the Heroes to help find her uncle, Deckard Cain, who went missing in the Tristram Cathedral when the falling star struck it. The Heroes arrive in New Tristram to investigate a fallen star. It is up to a new generation of heroes to face the forces of evil threatening the world. Having survived that onslaught, Tyrael rewarded the heroes by sending them to safety. Sanctuary was saved twenty years prior by unnamed heroes in Diablo II. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While these are the downsides, I do have to comment on the play over time. This can work against you at times and is something you need to work around to make any big plays during your turn. If you manage to send a worm flying, the worm will always stick the landing. In addition, the friction is substantially higher than in any other Worms game I have ever played. Otherwise, most hits keep the worm in place or forces the worm to fly straight up and down. Because of this, the only sure way to get side to side motion from a hit is through the baseball bat. The physics is far more simplistic than in the N64 version. On the other hand, do you really want to endlessly scroll through the weapons trying to find the one you are looking for? To me, arsenal isn’t an issue here. On the one hand, that is nowhere near the arsenal found in other platforms. These weapons include the grenade, bazooka, dynamite (very powerful), fire punch, flame thrower, jet pack, and battle axe. While this is true, there are still a number of the basic weapons players can get their hands on. Pause will pause the game as expected.Ī number of people have remarked that there are very few weapons in this game. Make sure your weapon is flashing to make sure you are in select mode. Arrows will move the camera around while “A” and “B” will act as your scroll buttons for weapons. Meanwhile, select will allow you to do two things: move the camera around and enable weapon select. A double tap will allow the worm to perform a back flip. A single tap will allow your worm to jump forward. The matches themselves also have a number of changes. If you turn on a special weapon, then it’s possible they will appear in a weapon crate. For special weapons, you can either turn them on or off. Do note that enemies will have the same arsenal. For standard weapon, you can decide how much you can have (or unlimited). What is also present that isn’t in the N64 version is deciding specifically what the arsenal is going to be. One notable option you don’t have is retreat time. The options are also modified by a fair bit. Unlock every environment and you “win” the game. Each prong has three additional environments. Think of the progress tree as a fork with four prongs. If the player wins in that environment, the game will glitch and say you unlocked the next environment (which is unlocked by default). If the player plays that second environment, a third environment will be unlocked. The first environment will, in a linear fashion, unlock a second environment. If the player wins the overall game, then the player unlocks a new environment.Īt first, there are only four environments available. Instead, the player must compete against a computer opponent in a single player match. In addition to this, there is no general one player campaign necessarily. After every hit or kill, the meter will adjust accordingly until one team or other other wins. The meter is also a comparative meter as it basically represents the percentage of health distributed between the two teams. The lighter pink represents player 1 teams health while the darker red represents players two health. The single meter is just below the firepower meter. This is likely to compensate for a smaller screen and fewer technological capabilities.Īs a result, instead of having four meters to indicate overall team health, you get a single meter. The next noticeable difference is the fact that the game only allows two team matches instead of a maximum of four. Still, three versions are still intact: Quickstart (which is a randomly generated match), single player mode, and two player mode. The first noticeable difference is the fact that there are fewer gameplay options. So, this review will discuss the differences between the N64 version and this version. This is definitely true, though we technically have not played the PC version at this point. One thing many people have remarked about this game is the fact that it is a stripped down version of the original Worms Armageddon. So, we were curious to see how well this game performed in the handheld environment. We also tried the Playstation version of Worms World Party. That game managed to score the extremely rare perfect score here. It is a port from the PC game with the same name. We find out if this strategy game is worth plying. In this review, we break out the banana bombs in the Game Boy Color game Worms Armageddon. ![]() ![]() # We initialize a few things that are needed by this script - there are no other requirements. # You need to have downloaded the Chocolatey package as well.

His attempts to "set up shop" were repeatedly thwarted by Batman but Waylon's ability to adapt have allowed him to carry on for many years. Though rising to prominence by the elimination of other mob members was accomplished quickly - his complete dominion over Gotham was foiled by its native guardian. In time, Waylon would turn away from petty crime - and Croc's ambitions and travels led him to Gotham, where he began to forge a criminal empire to make a new home. The circus and its inhabitants became Waylon's family and had the circus been able to maintain financially afloat who knows if Waylon would then have turned to organized crime after all. It is worth nothing that it was here that Croc first found a home and developed a niche for his heretofore ghastly appearance. He quickly became the main attraction as the alligator-wrestler "Killer Croc". He served twenty years for that crime and emerged from jail to join a traveling carnival. The now sociopathic Waylon Jones celebrated his eighteenth birthday by becoming a cold-blooded murderer. Over this time his contempt for humanity grew and so did his body, mutating to grotesque proportions and becoming increasingly reptilian in appearance. ![]() For that little incident, he spent the next eight years of his life in reform school. When he was only eight years old, he snapped and almost killed one of his schoolyard tormentors. As a child, he was relentlessly bullied because of his monstrous appearance. He means in comparison to Arkham Asylum but you're correct anyway.Īh my B, I just noticed at the end of his post in obvious () lol but yes, I always expect a different Killer Crocc everytime I see him in anything, he is always changing, he looks good thus far in "Suicide Squad" let's hope ole Waylon Jones can survive the mission and get his mutation on in between films hahahaha.Waylon Jones was born with a condition that gave him a thick scaly hide and razor-sharp claws and teeth. That being said, its safe to assume from the Origin time, to the end of Arkham Knight Crocc was out there doing the same things as in the comics and he would deffinitely look different if so. Originally posted by havoksummers12:If you are wondering why he looks different in Origins than he did in Arkham Knight, in the mission on the crashed prison ship in Arkham Knight Nightwing joins you, it is a DLC and when Batman sees Killer Croc in there he speaks and mentions how he has mutated, increased in size, and had the new huge tail, obviously those are the features changed from the Origins Croc to the Knight Croc, and when complete the mission you discover that Croc had been expiremented on and tortured and that is what cause some of his mutations, he has also betweeen this PREQUEL to Arkham Knight much time has passed, and if you are familiar with the DC Comics storylines or lore, Killer Croc has been mutated by different variants and mixtures of Bane's Venom and other Metagene Mutating Toxins, and his look changed very often.

The place had maybe 5 different groups of people, definitely not busy at all. It took about 15 minutes for our waiter to show up and ask us for our drinks. You know those feelings where you walk into a place and think, "Oh, this is a mistake." Well, I had that feeling, but since I wasn't the only one in the group, I decided to stay. It sounded so good, so we went here for dinner. I was looking for a good Cajun place near my friend's house and I came across the original review. A Blue Moon with a slice of orange and spicy delicious crawfish, crabs, shrimp, amazing sausage.this little Cajun was in heaven. Not sure what may have been going on the other time, but I have no hesitation going back. And as for the service, the waitress checked on us numerous times and was the picture of hospitality. I can't imagine how much garlic this place must go through but there was minced garlic everywhere. The whole thing came in a large clear plastic bag and we just grabbed what looked good and started. That alone piqued my interest when I first heard of the restaurant and that's why I wanted to try it out. They have Original Cajun, Garlic Butter, Thai Basil, Cilantro Lime, and Citrus Fusion options. We ordered the Knockout, which is 2 lbs of crawfish, 1/2 lb of shrimp, 2 Blue crabs, sausage, potato, and corn, all boiled to the Firecracker heat level (medium) and we chose the Garlic Butter Fuze for flavoring. We should have gotten the Cajun Fuze flavored grilled oysters. The raw were very good, but the grilled were just OK. My wife got both raw and grilled oysters. My wife had seafood gumbo and I had chicken (which had shrimp in it, but no crawfish like the seafood. I know my gumbo, folks, and this is good gumbo. You will get your hands dirty so be ready, and don't dress up! I am a full blooded Cajun and my wife and I are foodies.
