However, the all-economy configuration on the Airbus A320 means that there isn’t much of a premium appeal to this route. JetBlue has led with competitive pricing on this route, with one-way fares on midweek dates starting at $200.

![]() A dilatant fluid can easily be made by making a 2:1 mixture of cornflour and water. For example at a beach, if you stand on the wet sand, your feet will sink in slightly, but if you run across the sand (thus applying greater stress to it), it will behave as a solid and your feet will not sink in. There are not as many natural dilatants, although certain proportions of sand and water mixed together can display dilatant properties. ![]() Another example of a pseudoplastic is ketchup, which will not flow until it is squeezed or shaken. At first it seems solid but as the victim walks onto it, thereby applying stress and causing it to become more viscous (as quicksand is a pseudoplastic), they sink in as they struggle, applying more stress to the quicksand, which then thins causes them to sink faster. A famous example of a non-Newtonian fluid is quicksand. There are also such things as shear thinning fluids, or pseudoplastics, which display the opposite properties of dilatant materials as more stress is applied to pseudoplastics the viscosity decreases (or shear rate increases) ,Ī number of non-Newtonian fluids can be found naturally, although most of them are pseudoplastics as opposed to dilatants. ![]() This means that some dilatant fluids have the unique property of being able to turn from liquid to a solid just by having stress applied. They are an example of non-Newtonian fluids, as they do not have a linear shear stress versus shear rate rate, which is unique to Newtonian fluids (see graph). Dilatant fluids, also known as shear thickening fluids, are liquids or solutions whose viscosity increases as stress is applied. ![]() Edited Novemby Jerry ApplebyĬollect gold medallions in Blue Spheres Bonus stage You will need to play through the game and not only beat each bonus stage, but also get a perfect score! It’s not overly difficult, especially if you played Sonic 3 on Sega Genesis/Megadrive, but it might pose a challenge for some.Īll videos and images in this guide were created by me, Jerry_Appleby, unless otherwise stated. This is the final step to getting 100% on the game, but depending on your skill with the Bonus Stages you may already have this step done. Step 4: Clean up the Blue Spheres Bonus Stages with perfect scores on each. Now you will replay each level using Level Select in Mania Mode, or Time Trial Mode to get the trophies exclusive to each level. Step 3: Clean up all miscellaneous level trophies. Just replay any level(s) and do the Special Stages until you obtain them all. Step 2: Obtain the remaining Chaos Emeralds. Do not worry about the other trophies just yet, but try to do as many Special Stages and Bonus Stages as you can along the way. Then you should just work through the game at your own pace. Start a new game, preferably as Sonic (You can use any character(s) you wish though, but I would recommend using Sonic by himself to make a few other trophies easier, namely Collect ‘Em All). Step 1: Complete the game while trying to obtain as many Chaos Emeralds as you can and work on Bonus Stages. They have some slight differences in the level layouts and some boss battles! The trophy list is a bit disappointing since it does not have a platinum, but overall it’s a fun selection of trophies to obtain! They range from doing a miscellaneous task in each level, to simply beating the game, earning every Chaos Emerald, and finishing every Bonus Stage with a perfect score (my personal favorite trophy )! You will enjoy going for all the trophies in this game, so take the time to enjoy it to the fullest!Īlso note that there are no trophies for seeing the final ending with all Chaos Emeralds, nor are there trophies for completing the game with each character, but I would recommend playing through the entire game with both Sonic and Knuckles at the least just for fun. For fans of any of the 2D Sonic games, you’ll feel right at home playing through this wonderful game! Welcome to Sonic Mania, one of my most highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog games to ever come out! A true successor to Sonic 1, 2, 3 (& Knuckles), and CD! The game is, in my opinion, a near-perfect experience. Number of missable trophies: 0 (Level Select is available).Approximate amount of time to 100%: 6-10 hours ( 100% Time Thread).Estimated trophy difficulty: 3/10 (Personal Rating) ( Trophy Difficulty Thread).If this guide helped you out and you want to join the site because of it, give me a referral and sign up here! ![]() Offering some support to the market was a report that showed inflation at the wholesale level was a touch lower in May than expected, though it remains very high.

They’ve been among the hardest-hit in this year’s sell-off for markets as the Federal Reserve and other central banks raise interest rates to rein in inflation and forcefully turn off the “easy mode” that helped prop up markets for years. “No one’s going to take meaningful positions today ahead of what could be a rip-roaring day” with the Fed’s announcement, said Katie Nixon, chief investment officer for Northern Trust Wealth Management.Ĭryptocurrency prices continued to swing.

NEW YORK (AP) - Most stocks on Wall Street dipped Tuesday in their first trading after tumbling into a bear market on worries that high inflation will push central banks to clamp the brakes too hard on the economy. The app is powerful enough to create a detailed floorplan of your house without much effort. All the projects are saved on the app which you can export as an image, PDF, or DXF. The second method uses AR to generate a 3D model of your room, you can scan the room, adjust the height, and even add doors and windows to the model. Just place the phone against the wall, hold it until the app tells you to move to the next wall, and repeat until you reach the starting point.Īlso Read: 7 Best 3D scanning Apps for Android and iOS The first technique, Scan by Touching Walls is so simple and efficient that you don’t even have to calibrate the app every time. The app uses three techniques to measure out the dimensions of your room. You can use this app to scan and measure every room in your house in great detail. We’ve scanned all the objects in the room but what if you need to measure the room itself? RoomScan is a well-made app to create floorplans. Measure for iOS is free on the App Store. The app also has an inbuilt spirit level which lets you check if the objects in your house are perfectly level. You can even measure the surface area of an object by measuring all the sides which is great for figuring out the carpet area of the floor. You can measure the length of an object by simply dropping a pin on either end and sometimes the app automatically pins itself and give you the length automatically. Using this app is very intuitive and I would say it is even better than the previous app. It works on the same principle as the previous app and lets you calculate the length using the iPhone Camera. The second app is an iOS exclusive and conveniently enough also called Measure. You should expect a little bit of error while estimating the length of an object but it is generally negligible which should be the case for general purpose measuring. The only requirement for this app to work properly is a flat surface. Along with measuring the length, it can also measure the height of an object lying on a flat surface. You can use it to measure the dimensions of everyday objects like Tables, floors, doors, carpet, etc. The app automatically detects a surface and guides you on how to take a reading, which you can switch between imperial and metric units. ![]() You simply open the app, calibrate it and start measuring. ![]() Measuring the length with this app is very easy. Although, you’ll need an ARCore-capable phone to make it work. The app lets you measure real-world objects using just your smartphone. Kicking off the list with Google’s own AR app, Measure. ![]() There are many other factors at play that I simply don’t have time to get into, but suffice it to say that the in-game guide has all the info you need for a successful school year. By visiting the merchants’ camp, you can buy random classroom cards to incorporate other fields of study into your curriculum. This is where your sixth asset, gold, becomes very valuable. ![]() The downside to this is that you can easily get pigeonholed into producing only one or two types of mana. Spending mana in a certain school of magic allows you to draw more cards in that same area of study for example, you can spend nature mana to attain more nature-based cards. Naturally, students working in a high-level classroom generate mana faster than they would in a bare-bones one. Each room starts at level zero, but playing identical room cards on top of one another allows you to level up, which increases the room’s effectiveness. The rate at which your school accrues certain types of mana is based on the kinds of classrooms you have and how efficient they are. Students can study five different types of magic: light, dark, nature, arcana, and potions. Improving necessities like dorms and cafeterias or adding creature comforts like lounges and gazebos will lessen the impact those needs have on your student body and faculty. ![]() Additionally, everyone in your school has needs, so mediating boredom, hunger, tiredness, and sanity levels is imperative. ![]() Choosing the right teacher and/or artifacts for each room will influence how effectively the students working in that room will learn. Not only can you choose your school’s crest, houses, and focus of study, but you can also decorate your castle with magical artifacts and relics to add bonuses. This construction and management sim is so cram-packed with features that it has its own in-game reference guide! Breaking it down to basics, there are three main facets of gameplay: building and managing your school, forging relationships with the local factions, and adventuring into dungeons for loot.Ĭustomization is one of this game’s many highlights. Spellcaster University is a card game at its core, but calling it that doesn’t do it justice in the slightest. GAMEPLAY 9.5/10 Choose your map, build your school, and train your students to face off against the King of Evil! The audio peaks occasionally during the overly-loud voiceover for the intro and when the music is set to maximum, but other than these minor audio issues, the myriad sound effects and genre-appropriate music enrich the overall experience. Guinea pigs- Spellcaster University’s adorable equivalent of messenger pigeons-are especially cute as they make their way up to the catapult for launch, squeaking and grunting all the way. Whether they’re eating, sleeping, crafting, or summoning demons from the underworld, each character adds his or her own layer to a continually growing wall of sound. Curious observers who want a closer look, however, are in for an audio treat: every student or staff member is accompanied by sounds that reflect their current engagement. Personally, I prefer to watch my school from a distance so I can keep an eye on every sprawling corner of it. SOUND QUALITY 7/10 Dive into a soundscape of magical effects, medieval music, and…guinea pigs?ĭue to the sheer scope of managing an entire magical school, there are lots of things to continually oversee: renovations, administrative dungeon quests, patching holes in the fabric of space-time.you know, the yooj. ![]() We’ll be updating the patcher for Europe at a later date.You will want to allow plenty of time for download/update time, so plan accordingly.Having multiple server stacks spread across different geographic centers will allow us to test under post-launch conditions where players can play on any of them as we are not region-locking in North America/Europe as we promised during our Kickstarter campaign. This is an important step for CU both for our Backers as well as for us as developers going forward. ![]() Kudos to Tim and the Platform team for making this happen. Anyone who wants to play on this shard can do so in this weekend’s playtest. We’ve been working hard to put in the necessary infrastructure over the past few months so that we can launch Esclabor this weekend. First, we’re excited to announce our roll out of the newest CU shard, Esclabor! It is the first CU shard that runs off a Google instance that is based in Europe, and not the United States.All of this is important to us, and to you, our Backers, as we continue to push CU forward with an eye on getting a true game slice up and running for you folks to test/play that is fun, engaging, and a good representation of the game that we are making.įor more updates on CU, be sure to check out this month’s newsletter, as well as the Top Tenish and Q&A in this month’s livestream with Senior Producer Terry Coleman. Also, you’ll notice a number of times where we talk about pulling things out, nuking (sometimes from orbit, just to be sure) code from our past, and working on things with a very forward-looking focus as well as some QoL things. Now, after a lot of work (for a game like CU, it’s not as easy as just dropping the code onto another server), we’re ready to have a weekend test on one based in Germany! This falls under the category of “things we could have done later” but I wanted to do it now, so we could have it ready for the upcoming summer. In the meantime, the team and I have stayed quite busy and this month’s update contains lots of good stuff.Īs you folks may remember, I’ve been talking about opening up a European server for quite some time. There’s been a lot of things going on and I hope to return soon (and not soonish!). I know I’ve been absent from the Livestream for a while, but that doesn’t mean I’ve been absent from CU or CSE.
