The game continues from the last visited bench the character sat on, which are scattered throughout the game world and act as save points and places where the player can change their charms. Players need to defeat the Shade enemy to recover the lost currency and to carry the normal amount of Soul. The player loses all Geo and can hold a reduced amount of Soul. If all masks are lost, the Knight dies and a Shade enemy appears where they died. By striking enemies, the Knight gains Soul, which is stored in the Soul Vessel. "Mask Shards" can be collected throughout the game to increase the player's maximum number of masks. The Knight starts with a limited number of hit points, which are represented by masks. Defeated enemies drop currency called Geo. The player can also learn spells, allowing for long-range attacks. Melee combat involves using the Nail to strike enemies from a short distance. In most areas of the game, players encounter hostile bugs and other creatures. The Knight wields a type of sword called a Nail, which is used in both combat and environmental interaction. The player controls an insect-like, silent, nameless " Knight" while exploring the underground world. Hollow Knight is a 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania game that takes place in Hallownest, a fictional underground kingdom. Gameplay screenshot in which the player fights the first boss enemy, the False Knight A sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, is currently in development. By December 2020, the game had sold 3 million copies. Hollow Knight was well received by critics, with particular praise for its music, art style, worldbuilding, atmosphere, combat and level of difficulty. After release, Team Cherry supported the game with four free expansions. It was released for Windows, Linux, and macOS, in early 2017 and for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2018. Development was partially funded through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that raised over A$57,000 by the end of 2014. Inspirations for the game include Faxanadu, Metroid, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Mega Man X. Team Cherry wanted to create a game inspired by older platformers that replicated the explorational aspects of its influences. The concept behind Hollow Knight was conceived in 2013 in the Ludum Dare game jam. Players have the opportunity to unlock new abilities as they explore each location, along with pieces of lore and flavour text that are spread throughout the kingdom. The game is set in diverse subterranean locations, featuring friendly and hostile insectoid characters and numerous bosses. In the game, the player controls the Knight, a nameless insectoid warrior, who explores Hallownest, a fallen kingdom plagued by a supernatural disease, known as the infection. Hollow Knight is a 2017 Metroidvania video game developed and published by independent developer Team Cherry.

Vulture's Craig Jenkins had a similar notion, regarding the song as "a long diatribe about how everyone's jealous because he's doing better than them". He lambasted 6ix9ine for his lack of apologies toward those he wronged, saying he "only lists the wrongs done to him, and why those wrongs render him blameless". 6ix9ine fell right back into his favorite role: the upstart who doesn't conform to street codes, and wins anyway". Setaro further remarked: "Instead, we saw a 24-year-old man obsessed with money, popularity, haters, and getting even. Complex 's Shawn Setaro gave the song a negative review, and criticized 6ix9ine and the rapper's approach to his comeback, claiming he is "not the repentant, quiet young man we saw in the courtroom". "Gooba" received negative reviews from most critics. Brendan Klinkenberg of Rolling Stone described the song as "punishingly blunt and seemingly designed to provoke". The track also includes a reference to the COVID-19 pandemic ("Basic, been hot, way before coronavirus"). He also addresses testifying in court against members of the Nine Trey Bloods Gang in return for a reduced sentence: "Tell me how I ratted, came home to a big bag". In the chorus, 6ix9ine raps "Are you dumb, stupid, or dumb?", rehashing a line from Brooklyn rapper Ronny Godz's song "Are You Dumb", a line which 6ix9ine previously utilized on his 2018 song " Stoopid". Lyrically, as noted by Rap-Up, he "unleashes his wrath on the haters and clout chasers". "Gooba" contains a simplistic trap beat, and finds 6ix9ine employing his signature "aggressive" style. 6ix9ine also hosted an Instagram Live session on the day of the song's release, which received a record of 2 million simultaneous views. The song was promoted via a large billboard in Times Square that read "The King Is Back". On May 7, 2020, he announced that he would celebrate his 24th birthday the following day, by releasing a new single. However, he was released earlier in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After pleading guilty to nine charges, such as armed robbery and conspiracy to murder, he was sentenced to 2 years in prison in December 2019. On November 18, 2018, Hernandez was arrested on racketeering, weapons, and drugs charges. The song sees him rapping about his role in the Nine Trey Gangsters trial, while targeting his detractors. 6ix9ine recorded the song and filmed its accompanying video while under house arrest. It is the lead single from his second studio album, TattleTales, released on September 4, 2020. It was released on May 8, 2020, 6ix9ine's birthday, as the first single after his prison release on April 2, 2020. " Gooba" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper 6ix9ine.

Over the years, the ACLU has represented or defended individuals engaged in some truly offensive speech. The ACLU is always on guard to ensure that the First Amendment’s protections remain robust - in times of war or peace, for bloggers or the institutional press, online or off. The threat of mass government surveillance chills the free expression of ordinary citizens, legislators routinely attempt to place new restrictions on online activity, and journalism is criminalized in the name of national security. For example, new avenues for censorship have arisen alongside the wealth of opportunities for speech afforded by the Internet. The ACLU’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project continues to champion freedom of expression in its myriad forms - whether through protest, media, online speech, or the arts - in the face of new threats. The organization’s work quickly spread to combating censorship, securing the right to assembly, and promoting free speech in schools.Īlmost a century later, these battles have taken on new forms, but they persist. The fight for freedom of speech has been a bedrock of the ACLU’s mission since the organization was founded in 1920, driven by the need to protect the constitutional rights of conscientious objectors and anti-war protesters. It is the foundation of a vibrant democracy, and without it, other fundamental rights, like the right to vote, would wither away. Connecticutįreedom of speech, the press, association, assembly, and petition: This set of guarantees, protected by the First Amendment, comprises what we refer to as freedom of expression. Once again, a big thank you goes to BPB reader Irion Da Ronin for sending over the link to this great piece of free software.“Freedom of expression is the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom.” This means that you can tweak the synthesis parameters while the instrument is speaking, or even use the pitch bend wheel on the speech. The interface is nice and clean and the instrument also responds to MIDI messages. It sounds great (as great as a lo-fi instrument can sound) and is dead easy to use. Based on the original code of the Software Automatic Mouth (SAM) voice synthesizer for Commodore 64, this free plugin is as close as you can get to the synthesized speech of the 8-bit era. VST Speek finally fills that void in the freeware VST plugin scene. I was pretty happy with the results, however it would have been so much easier to have a VST plugin which could generate this type of sound inside the DAW. Back in the day, there were several free apps for Windows which could be used to convert text to speech, however they didn’t come even close to the lovely gritty sound generated by the programs from the 80s.Īfter testing all of these Windows applications, I realized that there was no substitute for the real deal, so I settled with the brilliant ST Speech software running on an Atari ST emulator on my Windows machine. Old school speech synthesizers are loads of fun! A couple of years ago, I needed some old school robotic vocals for a track and I searched everywhere for a freeware VST plugin or any form of free software to generate such sounds. VST Speek is available for free download via Wavosaur (2.6 MB download size, ZIP archive, 32-bit VSTi plugin format for Windows). Choose a preset, type any text and let’s speak! VST Speek is a free vocal synthesis VST plugin for recreating the old skool robotic text to speech we all love. Wavosaur has released VST Speek, a freeware VSTi plugin instrument based on the SAM vocal synthesis software for the legendary Commodore 64 home computer.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl Review As a cyclone forms, the heroes get swept up into it, and are separated from Team Rocket in the process. They attempt to escape from it with Misty's Water Pokémon, but the Gyarados summons others of it's kind and begins to use Dragon Rage with Misty noting a salor's legend, and how nobody has ever survived the attack before. James, upset with the uselessness of his Pokémon, kicks it into the sea, causing it to evolve into a Gyarados and attack them in revenge. The next day, everyone is starving, so they decide to eat James' Magikarp, but it is revealed that the Pokémon is inedible. Having no choice, they all decide to stay on the make-shift raft together to survive. The heroes believe Team Rocket to have drowned, and prepare to bury them at sea, only for Team Rocket to wake up. The Bird Pokémon goes out to search, but finds only Team Rocket. Not finding any land, Brock tells them the story of Noah's Ark, and how Noah would send out doves to find land, so Ash decides to do the same with his Pidgeotto. Making it to the surface, Ash and the others can't find Team Rocket, so they assume the worst. The only Pokémon Team Rocket has that is water-type is Magikarp, but they're horrified to learn that it can't swim. Misty commands everyone to strap onto a water-type Pokémon and escape. Eventually, everyone makes it to the engine room, where Ash commands Charmander to use Flamethrower to cut a hole in the hull of the ship. Ash tells Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip so they can cross over, but Team Rocket sees difficulty when James is too scared. Brock summons his Onyx to help them climb up to the bottom.Īs the ship's lights fail, they find themselves across from the engine room, though there is too large of a gap to cross, and a fire below them. Misty, who had made a model of this ship in the past, says that they should get to the bottom of the ship, which is now above them, and cut through the hull to escape. A battle nearly breaks out, but the need to survive causes them to call a temporary truce. Goldeen brings Team Rocket back with it, and this panics the heroes. Misty sends her Goldeen to check it out, but finds a dead-end and an unconscious Team Rocket. The heroes begin to search for a way to the deck but find the halls flooded. Jessie attempts to use her Ekans to cut a whole in the floor so they can escape, but water floods in. Elsewhere, Jessie, James and Meowth awaken and begin to investigate when Meowth explains that they've capsized and sunk. However, our heroes, alive and well, awaken and realize the ship has sunk. The day after the previous episode, Officer Jenny and other Police Officers declare Ash, Misty and Brock dead, and hold a memorial in their honor. This causes Magikarp to evolve into Gyarados, who is not happy to be treated that way. Though everyone manages to get free, James sees his Magikarp as useless and abandons it. The heroes and Team Rocket find themselves in an sinking ship and agree to work together. Foods can be organized by recipe and colour for clear visuals. Overall, the interface is comprehensive, showing a picture of the food, description, and the size in grams. The app comes with hundreds of data filled food categories, so you can search the food and identify whether or not it is compatible with your allergies or food sensitivities. In particular, this app is targeted for individuals with histamine intolerance, mastocytosis, fructose malabsorption, sorbitol intolerance, gluten sensitivity, and lactose intolerance. Food IntolerancesĪs is obvious by the app name, the Food Intolerances app is meant to be a tool for tracking allergies and food sensitivities, both for the individual who has known food allergies but also for the individual who is looking to diagnose food allergies. In addition to tracking food, you can also use this app to track fitness, and sync with fitness trackers like FitBit. Many users prefer this app because of its user interface and ease of use. While this tool is available in a free version, the full availability is unlocked with a subscription (approximately USD 40 per year). It also will weigh this caloric input against the fitness calories expended to identify if there is a deficit (which is what you are looking for when seeking weight loss). The app organizes food based on meals, so you can clearly see how many calories and nutrients are ingested per food item, per meal, per day, and per week. The tool can be used to plan meals, hit nutrition goals, hit weight loss goals, and track macronutrients. Calorie Counter and Food Diaryĭeveloped by MyNetDiary, Calorie Counter and Food Diary is a very popular nutrition tracker app that lets you input food manually or record a food item’s calories with a barcode scanner. Other perks to MyPlate include a visual and numerical water tracker and a nutrition-related forum! MyPlate is powered by Livestrong and is compatible with iOS devices, including iPad and Apple Watch, and Android. A graph pops up to show the overall macronutrient intake from that day as well. Food can be tracked in terms of goals (such as easy, moderate, or challenge), with easy-to-read reports and graphs that show users their progress.įood items are entered manually or through the search method and food is organized based on meals or snacks. Similar to MyFitness Plan, MyPlate Calories Tracker allows users to comprehensively log each food item to create a daily food diary. One of the biggest perks of MyFitnessPal is that every feature is free always! 2. Food is tracked by meals and calories are counted against your goal and activity levels! MyFitnessPal has their own meal plans (customized by goal) that you can follow, making healthy eating easier. The app provides both visual and written breakdowns of meals, such as the macronutrient breakdown by serving, ingredients, and more. Weight loss goals are required to start a profile (even if your goal is to maintain weight), and you can adjust your weight weekly to track true progress.įood is entered in manually or through a search mechanism. Powered by Under Armour, MyFitnessPal can be synced with its companion app MapMyFitness to track fitness as well as fitness watches like FitBit, so that you can identify if you are in a caloric deficit. MyFitnessPal is a fitness and diet tracker app that allows free calorie counting and diet plan recommendations. This list is not in any particular order, but the apps on this list have been voted to be the top nutrition tracker apps by industry professionals. There is a range of nutrition tracker apps to choose from, so we thought it best to review the 9 best nutrition tracker apps for your convenience. If you are of the mind to improve your health by tracking what you eat, then consider trying out a free (if not cheap) nutrition tracker app. With technology on your side, tracking daily calorie consumption and nutrition levels can become part of a daily routine. Nowadays, though, managing your diet is far easier due to the prevalence of easy to use nutrition tracking apps. But if you have a health condition like PCOS, diabetes, or you want to maintain your weight for another reason (like preparing for children or reducing the risk of cancer), then tracking what you eat is one way of managing and monitoring your weight goals. Managing your diet and lifestyle can be difficult and extremely time-consuming. jacob has updated the project titled Snow-glider for suitcase and bag.stephaniga has added details to SpinTech.Keith has updated the log for EF9365 / EF9366 / EF9367 video.Max Olender has updated the project titled Tokay Lite: Multi-purpose ESP32 AI Camera.ucasano liked Flexible Analog Computer.itzandroidtab has updated components for the project titled Tiny temperature camera.Peterkennethbrown liked Flexible Analog Computer.itzandroidtab has updated the project titled Tiny temperature camera.Ergotron on High Voltage Ion Engines Take Trip On The High Seas.metalman on High Voltage Ion Engines Take Trip On The High Seas.HaHa on Passionate Hams Make Their Mark On The Hack Chat.HaHa on Affordably Detecting Water Pollutants Using 3D Printed Lattices And Plasmonic Nanoparticles.Code E on High Voltage Ion Engines Take Trip On The High Seas.smellsofbikes on Siphoning Energy From Power Lines.Urgon on Passionate Hams Make Their Mark On The Hack Chat.George White on Passionate Hams Make Their Mark On The Hack Chat.Hackaday Podcast 222: VCF East Special Edition No comments Posted in Arduino Hacks Tagged algorithm, arduino, morse code Post navigation This is an open source Arduino based CW (Morse Code) keyer with a lot of features and flexibility, rivaling other commercial keyers which often cost significantly more. While Morse code operators usually rank their skills by speed - the faster the better - this Morse code project for very low power transmitters turns that notion on its head by using speeds more suitably measured in minutes per word (77 MPW for that project). Have you used Morse code in any of your projects before? Let us know in the comments below. We wrote about a couple of Morse code algorithms back in 2014, the MorseDetector and the Magic Morse algorithm. In these situations, a simple decoder like ’s is completely sufficient. This would more than likely be sent at fixed, known speeds over directly connected links with very high S/N ratios (a wire, perhaps). The other difficulty these decoders faced was detecting the signal in low signal-to-noise ratio environments - pulling the signal out of the noise.Ī Morse decoder built today is more likely to be used to decode machine-generated signals, for example, debugging information or telemetry. In fact, trained operators can recognize each other because of this, much like we can often recognize who is speaking on the phone just by hearing their voice. Every operator’s style, or “fist”, has subtle variations in the timings of the dots, dashes, and the pauses between these elements, the letters, and the words. In an earlier era of Morse code decoders, one tough part was dealing with the idiosyncrasies of each sender. We would like to see this hooked up to a proper Morse code key, and see how fast could drive it before it conks out. Simplicity comes at a price - changing the speed requires changing constants in the code. This is probably the simplest decoder possible, and thus its logic is pretty straightforward to follow. Lcd.Wrote a simple Morse Code decoder to run on his Arduino and display the text on an LCD shield.

Texting old-school style with a Hitachi-compatible 16x2 LCD and a 4x4 keypad How badly William’s breach of contract has affected his business’s image as well as his income.Īnticipatory breaches occur when one party realizes that the other party will not, or does not intend to fulfill the terms agreed upon in their contract even before the delivery or performance date arrives.How badly William broke the terms of their contract.William did not act in good faith, even when correcting his mistake.For Caleb to be compensated for both direct and indirect losses, he must prove: If William does not upgrade the site and goes ahead and publishes energy drink advertisement banners instead of the spare part banners, William has committed a material breach of contract. The contract entails William upgrading and posting German cars’ spare parts advertisement banners on Caleb’s online shopping website for $100. They also have the right to seek a remedy or the right to be compensated by the breaching parties.Īn example of a material breach is when Caleb, a client, enters into a contract with William, a web developer. When a material breach occurs, the non-breaching parties aren’t required to fulfill their end of their bargain. Therefore party A committed a minor breach of contract.Ĭommonly known as major breaches, material breaches occur when parties to a contract end up getting something different from what they had contracted for. It’s irrelevant that some of his dairy cattle died.Īs we see, party A kept his word partially by delivering 200 liters shot of his agreement with party B. Remember, legal knowledge is your right.īusiness law or the law of contract recognizes the following types of breach of contract or consequences:Īlso known as a partial breach, a minor breach occurs when the breaching parties don’t violate the entire contract, but at the same time, they fail to perform part of what they had agreed when they entered into a contract with the non-breaching party.įor instance, if party A agrees with party B to deliver 1000 liters of milk to party’s B milk processing plant within 30 days and party A only delivers 800 liters of milk within the said days after some of his dairy cattle succumb to anthrax, party A has committed a minor breach of contract. With this knowledge, you’ll be armored to defend yourself in case of a contract breach. Sit back, buckle up, and relax as I take you through a bumpy ride of contract agreements fundamentals and the different types of contract breaches. So, what are the types of contract breaches? In other words, contracts are said to be breached when one of the parties fails to deliver or keep their end of the bargain without a justifiable excuse. Lawful excuses for not honoring a contract include entering into a contract under duress, mutual mistakes concerning vital terms of contracts, contracts entered into through fraud, or contracts entered into with minors while under the impression that the minors have attained the age of majority. Business and contract law ensures parties who enter into a legally binding contract can protect their businesses and interests in case one of them fails to honor their word under their agreements.Ī contract is said to be breached when promises are broken, and one of the parties fails to fulfill the terms of the contract without a lawful excuse. It protects and enables brokers, buyers, employees, entrepreneurs, companies, business partners, or anyone entering into a legal agreement to seek redress in case there is a breach of contract. Otherwise, if conditions of agreements are not adhered to, businesses would collapse, and industry operations would come to a grinding halt meaning that the affected party will go through pure economic losses.įortunately, the law of contract deals with such situations. Such challenges make it hard for some parties to a contract to honor their word or fulfill their obligations as outlined in their agreements.Īs much as the hardships we go through make it hard for us to perform the terms agreed in our contracts, we have to make sure that we fulfill our obligations because we are legally bound to do so. Unexpected events such as financial problems cropping up or delays happen every day. Unfortunately, our world is not all sunshine and rainbows. In a perfect world, parties to a contract would come to an agreement, and they would be pleased with the outcome. Types of Breach of Contract: 5 Common Breaches of Contract Standard Silkies are mid-sized chickens and weigh around 1.5kg to 2kg. Silkies differ from other fowls in that they have dark flesh and five toes. Striking blue coloured lobes also adorn the ears. A Silkie’s comb (called a rose or cushion comb) resembles a wart-like lump on the bird’s forehead (see pic) rather than the spiky appendage one would normally imagine. However the comb doesn’t look like what you might see on other types of fowl. The cock’s comb is much, much larger than the hens. Bearded Silkies, both male and female, have very small wattles (around 5mm long) and as the name suggests, a full, fluffy beard puffs up around the face.īoth bearded and non-bearded Silkies have a feathery crest, like a powder puff, and a fleshy comb on top of the head. However the hen’s wattles are much smaller than the cock’s. Non-bearded silkies have large wattles (a fleshy appendage) about 25mm-40mm long below the beak. The Chinese Silkie is available in two types, bearded and non-bearded, and differences are also apparent between males (cocks) and females (hens). Each of these strands are approximately 50mm to 75mm long and give the bird a soft and, well, silky appearance. The Silkie’s feathers lack barbs which would otherwise hold the strands together, thus the individual strands sit free of each other. This soft, hairy-feathered fowl looks unlike most other poultry. It only takes one look at this chicken to see how it got its name. Amongst his many other exploits, Marco Polo is believed to have introduced this bird to the western world sometime between 12. Ideal owner: great for kids, novices and fowl enthusiasts HistoryĬhinese Silkies are believed to have originated in Asia, although despite the name, it is unclear whether it was in China, Japan or India.
