She added: “I think when we really do look around the team, and we talk about accomplishments, we’ve had players who made their debut and performed really, and we’ve had someone like Chinelle Henry come and get her first half-century and then back it up with another half-century and then two not outs in the T20s, which has been really good to see. “I think that’s something as a captain that you want to be doing really well, so I agree that we were able to go out there and win this series, and all the young girls were able to get the opportunity, but at the same time watch a lot of the older girls really step up as well and take ownership for their game and put down some serious performances.” “It was great to see some of the young girls getting an opportunity this series and kind of come into their own and to be leading from the front and setting a good example,” she said. Matthews said seeing some of the newer members of the squad performing at critical times was satisfying and will be useful in higher-intensity tussles later in the year. “We’ve crossed this hurdle, and we have bigger tests coming up soon, so I think for us, it’s just about going out there and preparing really well and getting ready for the next battle.” Sign up for The Gleaner’s morning and evening newsletters. ![]()

The cards have the instructions on them, so you don’t have to remember anything (or argue about the rules), and the best part is the cards are water-proof.

You may hear the same game referred to as King’s Cup or Waterfall.

![]() ![]() And you can get it here at window grid dot net and it’s a free download, which is fantastic. None of them did what I wanted to do, until I found something called WindowsGrid and- I’m sorry, WindowGrid, singular. I wanted them side by side and I tried a bunch of different programs and hated all of them. ![]() And if you hold down the Windows button and use the arrows, you can do top and bottom. For example, you can snap to the right and you can snap to the left. But the built in snapping capability of Windows 10 wouldn’t do what I wanted it to do. But one thing that annoyed me a little bit was that I wasn’t able to snap the screens side by side like I wanted because I’ve got all this real estate now to have three or even four screens open. And I’ll put a link to it in the description for this video. It’s one of those those really wide curved screens. A couple weeks ago, I bought a new computer monitor. And I wanted to show you a very simple solution to a small but annoying problem. But until that happens, I’m glad to have found WindowGrid. It’s a very simple solution that Windows should take notice of for its own Windows 10 snap settings! Wider screens are getting more popular, and the ability to snap in more configurations would be a great addition to Snap Assist. I’ve been using WindowGrid constantly for a couple of weeks now, and I love it. You can see exactly how this works in the video at the bottom of this post, including how to stretch across multiple grid placements. What if you just want to snap with Snap Assist? You can still do that! Installing WindowGrid doesn’t take away any of the functionality of Snap Assist. If you have a need to stack windows on top of each other, you can increase the second number in the grid settings, like a 5×2 grid. I also frequently have a window covering 1/3 of the screen and another covering 2/3. No, it’s so that I can stretch screens to different sizes easily.įor example, right now while I’m working I have the left screen stretched across four grids, and the right screen stretched across five grids. Why do I keep my WindowGrid at 9×1? It’s not because I would ever want to put nine screens side-by-side, that would be ridiculous. If you decide that you just need your monitor divided into three, you would make a 3×1 grid. The idea of WindowGrid couldn’t be simpler: you decide how many grids you want your monitor divided into, and then you can snap a window into any of those grids. The solutionįinally, I found something that did exactly what I was looking for, called WindowGrid. I started Googling for a solution, and tried a bunch of different programs, but none of them did the very simple job I wanted them to do: snap windows where I wanted them to snap, not where Snap Assist wanted them to snap. Having four screens snapped to the corners on such a wide screen was useless. Mostly I wanted three side-by-side, or one taking up 2/3 of the screen while another took up the other third. I’ve occasionally found four screens useful on a regular computer monitor, but a couple of weeks ago I bought a new widescreen monitor, and I found myself wasting a lot of time resizing screens. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first issue was highly praised for capturing the spirit of the characters and presentation of the show while providing a good introduction to its mythos for those who were unfamiliar with it. Journalists in the comic industry noted that with the older fans likely buying comics for the first time in many years, along with child fans purchasing comic books for the first time, the success of the My Little Pony comic could aid the ailing industry. Subsequent issues were monthly best sellers and represented IDW's highest-selling property. The first issue saw more than 100,000 pre-orders prior to its release, making it one of the best-selling comics of both the month and the year, requiring IDW to issue a second printing it was only one of two non- DC or non- Marvel comics to be in the top 100 comics sold in 2012. They have been well received, having presented complex, multi-issue story arcs, and included material to appeal to the broad older fandom, featuring cultural references and show elements enjoyed by them. Though the comic, like the TV series, is aimed at young children, the writers and artists have consistently taken risks, including expanding Sombra's storyline, the Friendship is Magic miniseries, introducing little violence, and more. The comics follow the studious Twilight Sparkle (originally a unicorn, later given a pair of wings) and her friends in adventures throughout the empire of Equestria. In addition to these publications, IDW has also published several one-off issues. The flagship monthly publication, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, is accompanied by a secondary monthly title. The comics published so far are based on the characters from the 2010 relaunch of the franchise and its television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, as well as the anthropomorphic spin-off Equestria Girls. IDW Publishing, an American comic publisher which has been publishing tie-in comic books to Hasbro properties since 2005, began to publish monthly My Little Pony comics beginning in November 2012. Cast of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ![]() ![]() In 2006 the islanders killed two trespassers who were poaching fish from the island reef and these bodies have not been recovered. ![]() Despite these overtures, the Sentinelese maintained their skepticism towards visitors (“skepticism” in this context means “aggressively shooting arrows at”), and such attempts to communicate have since been curtailed. The Sentinelese took the red buckets but left the green ones behind. The pots and coconuts were eagerly accepted. They also build canoes–however they have not been known to venture beyond the reefs of their island.įor a time the outside world attempted to initiate contact with the Sentinelese by presenting gifts such as coconuts, buckets, dolls, pigs and metal pots before (quickly!) retreating to a distance out of arrowshot. The islanders manufacture baskets, pounding stones, nets, and adzes. The tips of their weapons are steel and iron which have been scavenged and shaped through cold-smithing (in the late 1980s two international container ships ran aground on the island’s external coral reefs). The language, religion, and customs of the Sentinelese are unknown (although they are presumed to speak a language in the Andamanese family). The inhabitants go naked except during hunting expeditions when they wear belts/loincloths. The Sentinelese are hunter-gatherers, subsisting on fruits, seeds, tubers, fish, shellfish, honey, feral pigs, and the eggs of turtles and seabirds. Here they are pointing their weapons at a helicopter.Īgriculture is completely unknown on North Sentinel Island. They’ll be with us when we blast off for the stars or fall down dead in the toxic dust. Our best friends have been with us since the remote depths of the ice age when we were nobodies. *I’m not counting dogs: wolves joined up with us many millennia before we domesticated anything else. There are wild goat populations dotted around the world in places such as Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean Islands, Hawaii, Ireland, Great Britain, California, Indonesia, and the Galapagos (among others). Feral goats revert quickly to type and can thrive in most environments. Additionally domestic goats, like their wild forbears, are clever animals with a natural gift for climbing, jumping, and escaping. So goats are not raised in factory farms like cows, sheep, and poultry. To quote Wikipedia, “stall-fed goat rearing involves extensive upkeep and is seldom commercially viable”. Goat herding remains goat herding-the animals do much better when they have pastures to graze in. The worldwide fame/infamy which the North Sentinelese have gained in the last fortnight will quickly fade away, and we can go back to thinking of them as a peculiar alternate sect of humankind-when we think of them at all…Īlthough they were the first animals to fall under human agricultural sway, goats have not fallen so deeply under our thrall as most other farm animals. It strikes me that they have made their choices plain. ![]() Jesus can worry about his missionary’s final arrangements, thus saving the Indian police from savage battle and saving the islanders from measles, flu, smallpox, or goodness-only-knows what outside disease or influence which they are woefully unprepared for.ĭespite ample incontrovertible evidence that the North Sentinelese do not want to integrate into the modern world, there are always arguments about whether the Indian government is operating a “human zoo” (undoubtedly the Sentinelese have some choice descriptions of the interconnected pan-global hive organism that the rest of us are part of, insomuch as they can conceive of it). This strikes me as a grave error, since the islanders have demonstrated time and again that they do not desire visitors of any sort. North Sentinel island is part of India, although the islanders do not seem to recognize (or even know about) their citizenship, and the Indian authorities have been trying to recover Chau’s body. The natives, likewise, had no desire to hear John Allen Chau’s proselytizing, and they swiftly dispatched him with arrows and buried his body as quickly as possible (as is their known custom). The North Sentinelese are bellicose and territorial and they want nothing to do with our networked world of technology, trade, and toil. As previously set forth in one of our most popular posts, the island is inhabited by the mysterious North Sentinelese, a stone age hunter-gatherer tribe of unknown language and customs which has spurned all contact with the rest of humankind. ![]() On November 17 th, an American Christian missionary named John Allen Chau bribed corrupt fisherman to take him to the forbidden island in the Bay of Bengal. If you have been closely following the affairs of the Andaman Islands, you will know that the North Sentinelese are back in the news of the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Phantom Brigade itself takes on the symbolic power of the Gundam, becoming a representative of a better future through its tremendous capacity for violence. The second wave troops utilizing a refined, but mundane, version of a still experimental technology. ![]() Phantom Brigade is about those desperate people. If the Gundam, as a symbol, signifies a change in the nature and texture of conflict, then mechs like the Ez8 remind us that those symbols will, in time, be reduced to mundane implements of violence, utilized by desperate people. It is, at once, a generic military weapon, stripped of the visual signifiers of the Gundam, and a highly specialized machine, more unique and human than any mobile suit produced in Federation factories. Its chest piece is made from the salvaged shoulder panels of Zaku-2s. It lacks a V-fin, opting instead to replace it with a more traditional antenna. Its paint is a simple white and beige, and it dirties over the course of the series. The Mobile Suit Gundam RX-79 Ez8, the star of The 08th MS Team, is different. Phantom Brigade captures the feeling of The 08th MS Team’s most famous fight, the Gouf vs Ez8, better than anything else I’ve ever played, including Gundam games. The game’s fights are kinetic and chaotic in the way that The 08th MS Team’s are, with mechs unexpectedly crashing through buildings and wearing from attrition over the course of their fights. The developers of Phantom Brigade have directly referenced Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team as a key touchpoint for the game, and it shows. He became a butcher that moved like a dancer-all because I didn’t have time to repair his legs properly. I equipped him with heavy, well-armored components, and gave him a massive shield to accompany his heavy plasma axe. Even with constant dashing, he could dissipate more heat than his massive thrusters could generate. It had a solid heat capacity, but shined with its ridiculous heat dissipation. I reached into my deep bench of salvaged parts and found the best cooling system I could. Sure, you know who your enemy is going to fire at, but you cannot know how fast their bullet is going to travel or if it will bound from one mech to another mid-flight. This physics modeling allows your perfect information to be deliciously fallible. The game compliments its simultaneous resolution mechanic with an incredibly robust physics system, in which bullets are actually modeled-ricocheting off of trees and shoulders, slowly cracking concrete before punching straight through it. ![]() The game, then, is about assigning your mechs actions during these five second chunks of time, as they fight against a larger, better supplied army. To do this, you use a prototype prediction algorithm that allows you to see your enemy’s actions five seconds into the future. The game is about commanding a small brigade of mechs as they attempt to liberate occupied territories in their home country, in the wake of a war that they lost.
