![]() The birds wake up in a prison of a large spaceship named the Chopper. After a few levels I had birds flying with great accuracy. The gameplay was also a nice change, though a little hard to get used to off the bat. Rovio did an amazing job working with NASA to ensure that they were creating accurate space physics and gravity reproduction. The latest game to the Angry Birds breathes some new life into the what some thought was a fading franchise. Something you'll learn as you play the game is how to use the planets' gravitational pull in your favor. If not try again and again until you succeed. Okay, so you've got the bird pulled back and aimed where you want it, now just let go! Once you let go the bird will fly across space and hopefully hit those nasty pigs. At this point you can also adjust the angle at which the bird will launch from. ![]() Once you've got a bird it's quite simple, just hold your finger over the bird, slide it back and the slingshot will stretch. Before each round the sling shot auto sets with one bird ready to go. The previous games in this series use the same very simple game controls, and Angry Birds Space is no different. While I'm sure most of you reading this review have had the chance to play at least one of the Angry Birds games, there may still be a few of you who haven't, and that's no problem at all. Gameplay is what you would expect, smooth and well suited for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The new Angry Birds Space game employs realistic gravity effects, HD graphics and the typical Angry Birds soundtrack. Where oh where will those birds go next? In this version of Angry Birds you will need to understand the concept of gravity and how it will affect the birds as they fly out of your slingshot and into outerspace. ![]() Before launching the birds you will have to watch and be attentive to how they behave in the vacuum. The highlight of the game is that our beloved birds will be flying through space instead of through the air, and now you will have to be careful with the varying degrees of gravity and gravity fields in each level. This mod also introduces a space version of Matilda with a unique ability: shooting eggs across all directions like a star.Īngry Birds Space is the new edition of one of the most popular franchises in Android history, in which you will launch the most charismatic birds in the world of videogames all through out space and all that it entails. This mod features brand new planets with their own new blocks and gimmicks. The mod uses Angry Birds Space 1.4.0 as a game base.

![]() ![]() Here’s what you need to fine-tune at this point: It will light up, indicating the track is armed and ready for recording. Next, click on the small circle icon (record button) at the bottom of the mixer track. This helps in easily identifying the track, especially in larger projects. You can do this by right-clicking on the track name at the bottom of the mixer track and choosing ‘Rename/color’. Arm the Track for Recordingīefore you start recording audio in FL Studio, give the mixer track a descriptive name like ‘Vocal Record’ or ‘Guitar’ and also choose a color. Let’s break down the recording process – including how to use auto-tune and loop recording to perfect your takes. You’ll need to create a record track and monitor your input to make sure you get the professional-sounding vocals. Now that you’ve set up the prerequisites, it’s time to start recording audio in FL Studio. Note: Keep in mind that different instruments and sounds may respond differently to filtering techniques. Fine-Tune with Resonance: Use the resonance knob to sharpen the filter effect, adding clarity and focus to your recording.Set the Cutoff: Adjust the cutoff knob to isolate and remove the unwanted frequencies without affecting the desired sound.Choose Your Filter Type: Select a low-pass or high-pass filter with the stock plugin called Destructor to tackle the specific frequencies causing issues.Is there a hiss? Rumble? Identify frequencies that need cutting. Identify the Problem Areas: Listen carefully to your input source. ![]() Here’s how you can set the right filter settings to get the most out of your recordings: It can be done within an entire mix, on individual instruments or synths, and on vocals. While setting up FL Studio for recording, you’ll need to configure your filters to ensure that unwanted frequencies are eliminated from your input signals. Step V: Remember to save your project regularly to avoid losing any imported audio files. Step IV: Adjust volume and panning to blend it seamlessly with your other tracks. ![]() Step III: Drag the clip onto your desired track in the Playlist, aligning it precisely to where you want it to start playing. Step II: Then click on the newly created Audio Clip and choose the folder icon to import your audio file. Step I: Click on the Channel Rack button and hit the plus sign to select ‘Audio Clip’. Take a moment to get these settings right, and you’ll avoid the frustration of technical hiccups during your creative process.

Some time later the two, along with several other cosmic entities observed a chess game between Odin and Dormammu. After Thanos was defeated Spider-Man freed Adam Warlock from the Soul Gem and had fulfilled his purpose which the two beings had apparently been planning and manipulating his life since birth for that one purpose. One Day Lord Chaos and Master Order sensed the threat of Thanos of Titan and began to manipulate the lives and events of Spider-Man, the Avengers, the Thing, and Adam Warlock in order to bring about Thanos' downfall. Order and Chaos were among several abstract entities who permitted an experiment which placed the powers of the Infinite in the hands of mortals by allowing energy from the universe of the Beyonders to slip through, leading to the creation of the Cosmic Cubes. The In-Betweener was then sent out into the cosmos to fulfill its mission. Tired of their constant bickering they created the In-Betweener and charged him with the task of keeping the cosmos in balance for them. ![]() ![]() Their origins are unknown, yet it is known that Order and Chaos serve as the opposing forces within a dimension called the Magick Realm, a place between fact and fantasy from which many magic users draw their power. ![]() Along with his "brother" Master Order they ensure and represent the balance between chaos and order for the well-being of the universe however the two are constantly at odds with each other.

![]() ![]() The first cause of action, asserted against RPZL, claimed breach of contract under the promissory note. In her complaint, plaintiff alleged four causes of action. No payment was made, even after multiple demands. On December 5, 2017, plaintiff elected to call for the repayment of the promissory note. Plaintiff claimed that she never received any payments despite performing work for RPZL. The next day, the parties entered a side letter agreement that provided: (i) plaintiff would have the sole discretion as to whether the promissory note would convert to an equity interest or become due in full at maturity, (ii) plaintiff would act as a consultant for RPZL, (iii) plaintiff would have a position on RPZL’s advisory board, and (iv) in exchange for her role as a consultant, the principal would be increased by 15% to $115,000 and plaintiff would receive compensation in the form of a 15% payment of the principal amount on each anniversary of the promissory note until the time of its conversion. On December 4, 2014, plaintiff made a $100,000 investment in RPZL pursuant to which the parties signed a promissory note for that amount with a maturity date of December 4, 2017. Plaintiff further alleged that Richards and Thornton promised her a paid role in the company and a spot on RPZL’s advisory board in exchange for her investing $100,000. Plaintiff alleged that Richards and Thornton made material misrepresentations about the company’s technology and their plans to open locations across the nation: to wit, (i) RPZL had original patent, pending technology on a machine and process that could bond hair extensions to hair without damaging the hair, (ii) had secured a natural hair source that could provide RPZL with inexpensive and high-quality natural hair, and (iii) was raising additional capital to open up new store locations nation-wide. Defendants Lisa Richards (“Richards”) and Monica Thornton (“Thornton”) own RPZL.Īccording to plaintiff, Richards and Thornton approached Marinelli about investing in RPZL. ![]() Marinelli arose from an investment by plaintiff, Gina Marinelli (“Marinelli”), in defendant, RPZL, LLC (“RPZL”), a company that provides hair extensions and hair styling services. There, the Court denied a motion for summary judgment on the grounds that, inter alia, the verified complaint, which served as an affidavit, conflicted with defendants’ affidavits such that issues of fact were raised and could not be resolved. The impact of a verified pleading on a motion for summary judgment was recently considered by the court in Marinelli v. The reason: the affirmation of an attorney which does not contain evidentiary facts from one having personal knowledge is insufficient to establish the merits of a claim. However, when the pleading is verified by counsel pursuant to CPLR 3020 (d) (3), and not by someone with personal knowledge of the facts, the pleading is insufficient for evidentiary purposes. Once a pleading is verified, all pleadings thereafter must be verified.Ī complaint can be verified by the plaintiff or by counsel. CPLR § 105(u) (“A ‘verified pleading’ may be utilized as an affidavit whenever the latter is required”). The verification makes the pleading sworn and, therefore, is the equivalent of an affidavit and may be used for the same purposes. “A verification is a statement under oath that the pleading is true to the knowledge of the deponent. Typically, though not required in all instances, the plaintiff will verify the complaint. Generally speaking, these documents set forth the claims that are being asserted against the defendant(s). ![]() Under New York law, a party commences a civil action by filing a summons and complaint.

![]() This wasn’t just a matter of a few hours, either. The trouble was their new additions were the other side of the International Date Line which meant that when it was, say, Saturday in Tarawa, which is the most heavily-populated of the Kiribati atolls, it would be Friday on Kiritimati (also known as Christmas Island) in the Line Islands to the east. When Kiribati was granted sovereignty over the Line Islands in 1979, shortly after itself gaining independence from the United Kingdom, it found they posed a chronological puzzle. Kiribati’s territory incorporates three distinct groups of islands: sixteen Gilbert Islands roughly halfway between Hawaii and Papua New Guinea, eight Phoenix Islands in the seas north of Samoa, and eight Line Islands, not too far from Tuvalu. These rarest of time zones were established by Kiribati, on an entirely unilateral basis, on 31 December 1994, for the purpose of removing certain absurdities from the daily lives of its citizens. That rectangle represents two time zones, GMT+14 and GMT+13 (note: I’m using GMT, or Greenwich Mean Time here, which may be to do with my London childhood but it’s also increasingly referred to by the initials UTC or Universal Time, Coordinated). This is the International Date Line: trace it to the point where it’s interrupted from its simple trajectory and cuts out dramatically to the right, forming the shape of a kind of sideways ‘T’. To find Kiribati, first find a bold north-south line cutting through the Pacific Ocean. Ever in pursuit of a challenge though, let’s not let that stop us… Kiribati is also one of the few places in the world to straddle all four hemispheres, which means that, because its habitable land consists of just thirty-three delicate atolls ( ring-shaped coral reef islands – could it get more romantic?) it can be rather hard to locate on a map. ![]() Fittingly, its flag depicts a sun rising perpetually above the waves. You can think of Kiribati as the eternal land of tomorrow: if it’s Sunday where you are, it’s probably Monday in Kiribati. Kiribati – pronounced Kiribas – is the only nation on Earth to permanently trespass into GMT+14: the earliest time zone in the world. Every day has to start somewhere, and that somewhere is always the same: it’s the island republic of Kiribati, a vast constellation of atolls dispersed across 1.4 million square miles of Pacific Ocean. ![]() ![]() All provinces and neighboring 'kingdoms' or territories.Over 125 battles including icons to differentiate civil wars and revolts from 'Rome vs.Over 150 'barbarian' tribes in their generalized known locations.8 major (2 imperial and 6 provincial) naval bases.All 30 active legions presented in their known headquarters along with additional 'former' bases.Over 750 cities with different icons for provincial capitals and city size.Philip Matyszak, Author Some of the Highlighted Features: On the wall it makes a clear statement that the owner is serious about ancient history, and if the owner genuinely is serious about the topic, the map will see regular use.

Others who write scripts can make use of this as well.Īs I implemented the use of this into several other scripts, I had to change my original Ctrl+key shortcut to just that key alone. Masquerade already uses it to switch from shifting tags forward to shifting backward. The Switch function can now be used for plenty of other things, as it's a quick way to change the state of the line in an on/off manner with just one key. If you press the hotkey for Switch again, the comment disappears (as long as it's still at the end of the line).Īs this made it unnecessary to cycle through the whole sequence, I made the sequences a bit more detailed and thus longer. comment to the end of the line, which then has the same effect for Cycles as commenting the line, i.e. Tag block - a set of tags between curly brackets, e.g. Some possibly unclear terms that I use, just in case: ![]() (If Enter makes line breaks inside a textbox, you can use Ctrl+Enter instead.)
