Most of the implementations you'll find for monitoring your iOS device's network connectivity rely on using a 3rd-party dependency like Reachability, Alamofire’s NetworkReachabilityManager, or advise you to create a utility that periodically attempts to make an HTTP request as a way of determining network connectivity status. Network Logger is an automated URL testing tool for documenting outages of both your internet connection and web sites.

![]() We believe that our results can be used as practical guidelines for realization of efficient broadband infrared absorbers of subwavelength sizes desirable in diverse applications. Relations to effective medium parameters obtained by the internal homogenization are established and discussed. We obtain simple analytical expressions for the absorption resonances in spherical and cylindrical configurations that allow one to quickly identify the configuration parameters ensuring strong infrared absorption in a given spectral range. Analyzing in detail spherical and cylindrical core-shell nanostructures, we demonstrate that the resonant infrared absorption can be not only very efficient, i.e., with the absorption cross sections exceeding geometrical ones, but also broadband with the spectral width being of the order of the resonant wavelength. Realizing that nanostructures would efficiently absorb radiation only when their dielectric properties match those of the environment and making use of the effective medium approach, we develop the design strategy using core-shell nanostructures with very thin shells made of poor metals, i.e., metals having real and imaginary parts of their dielectric permittivities of the same order of magnitude. ![]() We suggest to exploit dielectric-metal core-shell nanostructures for efficient resonant and yet broadband absorption of infrared radiation with deeply subwavelength configurations.

As long as you have at least one scroll of a specific faction in your deck while playing, scrolls from any faction can be sacrificed to obtain that resource type.You can use the same copy of a scroll to build multiple decks simultaneously.Only up to 3 copies of any given scrolls may be in the same deck.The deck must have a minimum of 50 scrolls at all times.There are a couple of restrictions to deck building: You can have multiple decks at once, and choose which one you want to play.

This means you can shrink the window to the side of your screen to only see the current article, which is ideal if you're taking notes in another window. But unlike any other app I tested, Reeder will hide panels depending on how big the current window is. The app has three panels, like most RSS apps: feeds on the left, a list of articles in the middle, and the current article on the right. What I love, though, are the small touches that aren't obvious in a single screenshot. That's self-evident in the screenshot above: the typography, the semi-transparent left panel, and the layout all draw the eye quickly. I considered over a dozen apps for this article, and the three below are the ones I'd recommend. I only considered native apps for this list. A web app isn't good enough, and neither is a ported iPad app. Syncing with a third-party service like Feedly is a plus for cross-platform users, but native syncing using iCloud also works. That way, you can catch up with your feeds on another device. You should be able to jump between articles, copy a link, and do most anything else using just the keyboard-and you should be able to set things up just the way you like. The whole point of RSS readers is speed, and nothing slows you down more than having to use your mouse. The best RSS apps can pull in the text using a parsing tool like Mercury Reader. Many feeds don't offer up the entire article. An RSS reader runs faster if articles are downloaded before you start reading, and it's also nice to be able to read without an internet connection.Ĭan pull in the full text of an article. With that in mind, the best Mac RSS readers: Neither were apps that don't offer a full reading experience, such as browser extensions or menu bar widgets. News apps that don't allow this, like Apple News, weren't considered. I've also reviewed software in general, and Mac software in particular, for over a decade.įor this review, I only considered traditional RSS readers-that is, apps that allow you to add any RSS feed you want. I'm a full-time journalist and blogger, meaning I need to keep up on what's happening-and RSS is how I do that. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog.

If you're in the middle of a quest and fall into an abyss, such as from a very tall building, you'll respawn next to the quest-giver. That can be great if you're in an open or high spot, but it's problematic if you respawn near a solid object because you'll have trouble getting around it. Whenever you bail, you respawn at the spot where your bird ends up. That starts with the camera, which works well most of the time but freaks out when it gets close to an object or edge of the stage. The game nails down the basics quite well, but some elements hurt the experience. The timers are generous, and the tricks range from being super simple to ones that require a great deal of skill, but the game is kind if you fail you can automatically restart failed quests instead of having to find the quest-giving bird again. Once you come across another bird, you can complete quests, which do have timers, and the objectives range from simple score attacks and collecting letters to completing specific tasks. You can skate around, bust out tricks, find gaps, or pick up collectibles such as new decks and costume pieces. ![]() Instead of going for a two- or three-minute run, the stage is open with no timers in place. When it comes to the levels, Skatebird takes more inspiration from the later Tony Hawk titles. There is one addition in the form of flapping your wings for extra height and distance on your jumps, so the developers clearly thought of using the titular bird for more than just aesthetics. Also, there are no d-pad controls, so you'll have to be comfortable pulling off tricks and combos with the analog stick. The few exceptions include a squawk button that counts as a move, making it perfect to continue a combo in lieu of a manual. Actions like the ollie and flip tricks occupy the same buttons, so there's not much to re-learn. If you're familiar with the controls for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, you'll be right at home with Skatebird. Actual animals in an extreme sports game, however, is unheard of unless you want to point out the likes of Poomba in Disney Extreme Skate Adventure. A few of these games featured anthropomorphic animals, with most of those featuring some very well-known characters, like Goofy and Mickey Mouse. Extreme sports games have mostly featured humans, whether it's real-life athletes like Tony Hawk or Dave Mirra or non-descript kids. 17 Division of Integrated Oncology, Institute of Biomedical Research and Innovation Hospital, Kobe, Japan.16 Department of Respiratory Medicine, Respiratory Center, Totanomon Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. ![]()

My pants ripped at the assembly part giving my colleagues and every other person a full view of my ass cheeks. I don’t even know why I wore those pants for training, to be honest. “ So we finished from training and my pants were a bit too tight that day. Thing is I am still shy at heart and I avoid embarrassing situations, even during movies I close my eyes when I see someone about to be embarrassed. But I guess going thru this many bad experiences kind of made me able to withstand other embarrassing things that could happen in future. I don’t think I will ever recover from it. I was sitting at the back, so everybody could just turn and see. The teacher did not even feel bad and shouted at me, drawing, even more, attention to it all. It was very bad because the girl I had a crush on was even there too. I couldn’t control the situation so I just let it all out. The invigilator said I couldn’t go to ease myself and my bladder was already too full and no longer cooperating. The most iconic was when I peed on myself during my Cambridge O levels exams. Many are related to my having a very delicate stomach because, in school, I suffered quite a few accidental discharges. Like if I see her walking down Rd 1, I will turn and go take Rd 20. ![]() Now that I remember, it was funny, but at that time I was deeply mortified. Lo and Behold she said No, so I pack my ‘ngwo ngwo’ and left. She was just sending mixed messages anyhow and I was confused. That was how I went in for a kiss and she dodged. We sat on the couch just continuing our gist. We even went back to her apartment and she invited me in. She was being real with me and we were vibing. I took her to Yellow Chilli and she ordered seafood Okra. But so far, the most traumatizing was an experience I had with a girl I was in love with. “ I hate being embarrassed, so I tend to lock such memories away never to revisit them. A few grazes on my wrist, nothing serious but I know not to just assume anyhow anymore.” – LESLEY It was so embarrassing because I got it completely wrong, with regards to why they wouldn’t let me in. The chap at the door said, don’t come in, but I forced my way in and there was a massive dog and it grabbed my wrist, I somehow managed to wrestle my wrist out of its mouth and stepped out, whilst they closed the door. I saw somebody walk out the shop, so I felt he didn’t want me in, because I was Black. However, it was about 9pm and usually the doors are locked, so you pay through the window. “ I remember in London, I was going to pay for petrol inside of the shop in the petrol station, as everyone does. It is funny now, but then I was so angry I didn’t stop to consider how embarrassing it was. He kept asking: “Why will you mess like this and ruin people’s environment” and me, angry kept replying “Why won’t I mess, do you own this environment?” It was serious. But the guy was not having it, he started shouting, attracting attention. That’s how the boy now woke up and started asking who farted. I followed her to the new sitting position, and there was a boy there who had been sleeping. But unknown to me, the smell trailed behind me. She said she could not take it and people will think she is the one that farted if she stayed there and endured it with me. I didn’t think it will smell that much, but it did and my very dramatic friend stood up left me. So as we were there, my stomach pressured and I released some gas. We are cool so she is someone I can belch or fart in front off. I was revising with one of my very brainy friends, a girl.

They create harmony without being too overpowering or distracting, which is ideal for people who want their brand to be approachable, but not bland. These colors are nearby on the color wheel, generally within three hues from each other. This is a good pick if you want to create a sense of cohesion. One primary color plus its two adjacent ones create an optical effect where each shade jumps out at you in turn. Split ComplementaryĪ split complementary scheme uses four colors total. This type of color combination is common because it’s one of the boldest. These colors are opposite each other on the color wheel, meaning they’re eye-catching when used together.
