![]() ![]() The changes to the driving experience aren’t a complete overhaul for the WRC series, but enough for fans of the series to notice. Rally legend Sebastian Loeb praised the upcoming title, but many in the sim racing community questioned whether this was an observation or a paid endorsement. We first reported on WRC 10’s improvements to the driving physics in early July. Moreover, WRC 10 also has excellent tire squeal noises on the hard, paved surfaces which add to the thrill of nailing a handbrake turn. Various co-drivers can be selected, and the calls of “ouch” when you clip a fence or “YES!” when you lead a sector add significantly to the enjoyment of driving here. More importantly, the pace notes are well delivered from your co-driver, and the crunches and bangs of slamming a car through tight turns or ubiquitous trackside flora are nicely balanced on the default settings. The engine notes aren’t as roaring and aggressive as you might expect based on KT Racing’s loading screen for the title, but they do a good job conveying the scream of the high revving engines. WRC 10 manages the balance of sounds very well. Rally titles, however, need to be well-balanced and leave room to hear pace notes and the crunch of body work as it slams into hills and objects on the side of the course. If you were to hop into Assetto Corsa Competizione and take the Maserati GT4 for a spin, you’d be treated to an beautifully obnoxious engine note that fills the entire soundscape. Sounds in rally titles are tougher to rate than many other racing titles. For those who prefer their rally experience with an HMD, the DiRT Rally titles are still the go-to platform. There is still no VR support for WRC, either. Overall, the graphics look good, and despite looking grainier than many contemporary racing titles and not running as efficiently as its rally sim rivals, the graphics should be more than adequate for most users. Standing water on the road further ahead, roadside buildings, and rubble on the track, however, look much much generic and poorly rendered. The highlights of the visuals include the sunlight breaking through the trees, or the reflections of light off nearby puddles, or the way your headlights carve a limited beam through pitch black night stages. Gameplay graphics look great most times, but often seem more passable than impressive. WRC 10’s graphics can wow at times and underwhelm at others. These improvements make WRC 10 a fun, challenging and engaging rally title. Like Codemasters’ F1 series, the WRC game franchise is plagued with workarounds and shortcomings that should have been fixed before the release of the each successive title, but unlike F1 the latest WRC entry shows substantial improvements to the driving experience. It only takes a few moments in game to spot the shortcomings of WRC 10, but roughly the same amount of time to appreciate the improved driving experience in this title. ![]() This year’s edition features historical content and major moments from WRC rally history to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the race series. KT Racing has released WRC 10 across most major platforms. A review copy of the title was not provided to us. Note: WRC 10 was tested using the Steam version on PC with a wheel, pedal set and handbrake. Interestingly, he recently drove in the Galway International Rally in a Dirt Rally 2.0 themed Ford Fiesta R5, finishing a respectable 4th overall.ĭirt Rally 2.0 will be out on February 26th for the PS4, PC (Steam) and Xbox One.The tenth installment in the WRC series has been released and features improved driving physics and impressive retro content. This means that it will not arrive in time for launch, and will be added later as an update for PC.ĭirt Rally 2.0 will feature new hand-crafted stages, new cars including some from Porsche and realistic physics with the help of rally driver and WRC Esports champion Jon Armstrong as a consultant. DiRT Rally 2.0 + Oculus = this summer… #RisetotheChallenge /ZYefrplGL2 “No VR No Buy” was spammed a lot.Ĭodemasters are definitely listening and has now announced that support for the Oculus Rift VR headset is coming this summer. Look back at the chat and comments on Dirt Rally 2.0’s videos and live streams, there is a big demand for VR. Dirt Rally only had one for PS VR, though mods allowed the use of PC-based VR headsets for PC players. However, one element prevalent that does not sit well with the community surrounding this game is the lack of VR support. Bearing the “Rally” moniker in the name, the new game serves to include more realistic, and brutal, driving physics just like what most hardcore sim racers loved with Dirt Rally. Dirt Rally 2.0, the latest entry to Codemasters’ rally racing series, will be out this month. ![]() ![]() ![]() Questions that don't warrant a thread go in the "There Are No Stupid Questions" Thread.

It’s very frustrating for patients.”Įndometriosis is a complex disease, and it affects each woman differently, but there are two theories as to what causes bloating in endometriosis. Even though you can see visibly something’s happening, if we do a CT scan, there’s not really a tangible, finite reason it’s happening. ![]() “There have been multiple studies, but there’s no good proof. “We don’t know the exact reason why it happens,” Dr. Women with endo are told to eat healthy, exercise frequently, and maintain ideal body weight to help with their symptoms, so when an endo belly surges forward, it can feel frustrating, upsetting, and demoralizing.Īs Kellie Renee put it in an Instagram caption, “This is what anxiety, body image mind f*cks, and hurting to breathe looks like.” Plus, there can be body image ramifications. “You can look six months pregnant by the end of the day.”īeyond this physical discomfort, endo belly is also emotionally troubling.įor starters, since endometriosis can make it difficult to conceive, looking like you’re in your second trimester can feel like a cruel side effect.

You might think bloating is a normal part of every woman’s cycle, but this is not normal bloating, and endometriosis is not a normal cycle. ![]() The bloating can stay for days, weeks, or disappear after a few hours. On any given day, the lower abdomen can swell, setting off physical and mental anguish. ![]() Endometriosis bloat-known as #endobelly-is one of the most odious endometriosis symptoms. ![]() ![]() “I was improvising from the rocksteady feel,” Fams explains, “with a little tempo from the rocksteady and slowing it down from the ska - so the rhythm is in between the lines.”Īs for what became known as the “dub style,” the echo-drenched, almost psychedelic mode of mixing invented by Perry and fellow producer King Tubby, it wouldn’t emerge until 1972 - but Clint Eastwood is notable for Perry’s reverberating vocal intro and a stripped-down melodic arrangement driven entirely by the bass, much as later dub mixes would be. The “new concept” that had attracted Perry’s attention was essentially the earliest example of a true reggae bass style - a melodic line that was locked into the downbeat. It was the first dub release not only in Jamaica but globally.” The first thing we actually did together was the drum-and-bass track called Clint Eastwood, and that’s where dub was born. “He was turning into a record producer, leaving from the old stable of Coxsone Dodd at Studio One. “Lee Perry get a hold of me by hearing of my new concept of bass playing,” Family Man says proudly. With a sinewy, infectious bass line that seemed to leap out of the mix, the song attracted the attention of an up-and-coming producer named Lee “Scratch” Perry. Fams’ very first recording as a session bassist was for one of Bunny “Striker” Lee’s groups, the Uniques, on a song called Watch This Sound – a cover of Buffalo Springfield’s For What It’s Worth, which had been a hit the year before in 1967. It wasn’t long before other groups and producers came calling. When Family Man finally got his hands on a Hofner 500/1 “Beatle” bass, he and his brother formed their first band, the Hippy Boys, with singer Max Romeo. When I rest my bass on the floor, I get that bass effect- boom, boom, boom, you know? That’s where I begin to create a new concept of time and melody.” They didn’t know it then, but the Barrett brothers were on their way to becoming one of the premier rhythm sections in reggae history. “We begin to practice drum and bass,” Family Man remembers, “what we call dub. Like so many others with a creative urge, but without the materials to express it, the two brothers relied on their ingenuity: Family Man fashioned a makeshift upright bass out of a length of 2-by-4, a cut piece of plywood, and a curtain rod (with an old wooden ashtray for the bridge), while Carly built a drum kit out of different-size paint tins. Musical instruments weren’t cheap or easy to come by in the hardscrabble streets of Kingston. This interview originally appeared in the October 2007 edition of Bass Player. So in our early years, my younger brother Carlton took onto himself the drums, and I took on the bass and decided I’m gonna construct it much better the other way. “And when I decide to listen deep into the music - to all the different sections and instruments playing - I realized that the bass is the backbone, and the drum is the heartbeat of the music. I compose a melodic line and see myself like I’m singing baritone. ![]() ![]() When I’m playing the bass, it’s like I’m singing. to Jamaican radio, “but I never practiced to be a professional when it came to my vocals. “I loved singing,” he says, citing the classic soul of James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and Curtis Mayfield that drifted over from the U.S. Even so, for Family Man (a nickname he chose for himself as a youngster to signify his intent to “keep everyone in the band together”), the bass was not necessarily his first point of entry into becoming a musician. ![]() That destiny has its roots in Jamaica’s ska and rocksteady era-a time, in the mid 1960s, when the Supersonics’ Jackie Jackson, the Skatalites’ Lloyd Brevett, and the Heptones’ Leroy Sibbles were among the island’s bass rulers. ![]() ![]() Crayfish of different species are more likely to try to kill each other. If you do, it will be important to make sure they have plenty of space to themselves, and that they’re the same species. It's not recommended that you keep more than one crayfish in a tank.Large species like cichlids and catfish have been known to attack crays, often resulting in the injury or death of one or both creatures. While crayfish don’t pose much of a threat to other fish, the reverse isn’t always true. Crayfish are freshwater crustaceans belonging to the clade Astacidea, which also contains lobsters.In some locations, they are also known as baybugs, crabfish, crawfish, crawdaddies, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, mudbugs, rock lobsters, signal crawfish, or yabbies.Once the crawfish have been boiled, it's time to eat them. Every few months, carefully cut the tips of their claws to ensure they don't start nipping fins again. You should definitely eat the heads Shutterstock Crawfish are typically boiled in a large pot with various aromatics, according to Chef Amy Sins (via Insider ), and the recipes vary from family to family and person to person. This still allows the crayfish to pick up food. ![]() Plus, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends we eat 8 ounces of seafood per week. There is a more aggressive option if you plan to keep crayfish in a community tank, to cut half of the inner claw to prevent any nipping or aggressive action with a sterilized knife or scissor. Second, it's incredibly nutritiousserving as a source of lean protein key minerals like zinc, iron, selenium and often also good-for-you omega-3 fats (depending on which type of seafood you're eating).If you discover your crayfish devouring one of its tankmates, chances are it was close to death anyway. Crayfish typically only attack sickly fish that sink toward the bottom of the tank.Crayfish may display some aggressive tendencies from time to time, but they’re usually too slow to catch and eat the much-faster fish. However, they’ll generally live in relative harmony with small fish like goldfish, barbs, mollies, swordtails, and neon tetras. The Dietary Guidelines for Americansstates that to consume those higher amounts, children should only be fed fish from the Best Choices list that are even lower in mercury these fish are. However, some types of fish can contain high levels. That’s because it’s a great source of protein, micronutrients, and healthy fats. Crayfish do best when given the run of a spacious tank.

Everything you need for a smash-ing Monster Truck Party ![]() ![]() ![]() These clinical decision rules have a high sensitivity, but a very low specificity, resulting in a large number of normal radiographs despite positive OAR findings. 1 Therefore, efforts have been made in recent years to rule-out ankle fracture by means other than radiography, most notably through the use of the OARs. ![]() While ankle injuries are a common presenting complaint in the ED, only 15% of undifferentiated patients presenting with ankle injury can be expected to have evidence of ankle fracture on plain radiographs. At follow up, orthopedics recommended that she continue use of the walking boot for 4–6 weeks. Given this diagnosis, the patient was managed with a medical walking boot, acetaminophen/codeine for pain management and outpatient orthopedic follow up in 2–3 days. These views demonstrated a non-displaced Weber B fracture of the left fibula ( Image 2). Due to the US findings suggestive of fracture, stress view radiographs of the left foot, ankle and leg were obtained with orthopedic consultation. Plain radiographs of the left ankle, foot and lower leg were then obtained, which failed to demonstrate evidence of left fibular fracture. Longitudinal views of the left distal fibula demonstrated an obvious cortical defect of the left lateral malleolus consistent with fracture ( Image 1). The remainder of the physical exam was unremarkable. Sensation was intact over the foot and ankle, and the pedal pulses were intact. Passive range of motion was limited due to pain, and the patient could not bear weight on the left foot. There was mild tenderness over the medial malleolus, and no tenderness to the base of the fifth metatarsal. There was tenderness to palpation over the distal aspect of the left lateral malleolus and the calcaneofibular and anterior talofibular ligaments. Examination of the left ankle revealed intact skin and moderate soft tissue swelling. On physical examination, she was in mild distress with stable vital signs. She reported no history of surgery or trauma to the ankle prior to the presenting injury. ![]() The patient presented approximately one hour after the injury. This report describes the value of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) as a supplemental imaging modality in the evaluation of ankle injuries to aid in making the diagnosis of ankle fracture.Ī 45-year-old previously healthy woman presented to the ED with a chief complaint of left ankle pain after a fall while roller skating, which resulted in an inversion injury to the left ankle. Furthermore, radiographic imaging necessitates radiation exposure and additional cost. Additionally, plain film radiography is not completely sensitive for ankle fracture, resulting in false negatives. This results in many false positives with increased radiation exposure and additional costs. The OARs are designed to decrease radiographic evaluation of ankle injuries they have a high sensitivity but very low specificity for fracture diagnosis. The current standard of care for the evaluation and diagnosis of ankle fracture, when indicated by the Ottawa Ankle Rules (OARs), is plain film radiography. 1 It is important to accurately differentiate ankle fractures and other serious injuries requiring orthopedic consultation from less serious injuries that may be managed conservatively. Ankle injuries are a common presenting complaint in the emergency department (ED), comprising approximately 5% of all ED visits. ![]() ![]() There are 3 abilities in each element category, and each ability has three tiers (level 1, 2 and 3), with level 3 being the most powerful and costing the least MP.Įquipment can be obtained through various methods, including finding, purchasing and 'creating' items such as body armor, weapons, ammunition and tools. These are categorised into 4 elements and can be summarised as follows: fire for offensive abilities, water for health-related abilities, wind for status-related abilities, earth for abilities that affect damage stats (given or taken). However, whereas the first game used a levelling up system, in which abilities are unlocked at certain levels, the sequel allows players to choose freely which abilities they want to prioritise. This is done by using EXP gained from defeating enemies. Having locked her abilities gained in the original game, players have to "rediscover" abilities available with Aya's parasite energy (PE). Aiming, as with most other games of this genre, is accomplished by cycling through the various 'lockable' targets within Aya's range. There are also no random battles enemies will be found wandering in plain view, hence allowing the player to avoid confrontations and plan strategies. Another contrast is the absence of the 'range dome' seen in the first game, allowing the player to shoot at off-screen targets and engage targets from a safe distance. Battles take place in real time, so the player is free to act as they see fit. Unlike Parasite Eve, there is no Active Time Bar that governs the order of actions during a battle. Camera movement is limited, generally being confined to a single view of a room or area, and cannot be altered by the player. It uses tank controls: Aya is able to move forwards, backwards, and pivot left and right. Parasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game. The game was well received by critics, although it was criticized for using a control system that was seen as being outdated. The title was written and directed by Kenichi Iwao, who wrote Resident Evil (1996). The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Neo-Mitochondrial creatures. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. ![]() It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. The game was developed by Square, published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. Parasite Eve II ( パラサイト・イヴ2, Parasaito Ibu Tsū) is an action role-playing survival horror video game released for the PlayStation. ![]() ![]() ![]() In early May our entire region celebrates Cinco de Mayo in grand style, followed by the Juneteenth Festival.
