As the website lists Expat Shield as “unlimited bandwidth” it could be a better option for users simply wanting to bypass restrictions imposed in their country. This is similar to Hotspot Shield but is based on an old version of Hotspot Shield and is supposed to use a UK based VPN instead of a US based one. AnchorFree Expat ShieldĪnchorfree has another free VPN service called Expat Shield. You should now find no Hotspot Shield banners appearing in any Internet Explorer browser tabs from now on, a reload will be required on open tabs. Close the windows to get back to the IE main window. In the “Add this website to the zone:” box enter, click Add and the URL will appear in the Websites box. Click the Security tab, click on Restricted sites and then press the Sites button.ģ. Open Internet Explorer, click the Options icon (cog wheel) and select Internet Options.Ģ. This acts like an ad blocker for just Hotspot Shield. However, there is a very simple answer to this problem which is adding the required URL to the restricted sites list. With this simple addition both of the most annoying Hotspot Shield restrictions will be gone! Blocking With Internet ExplorerĪlthough for Internet Explorer you can also install something like the Easylist Tracking Protection List to remove the ads and the bandwidth block, that is rather an all or nothing solution with no control. For Firefox, AdBlock Plus and NoScript work perfectly to disable the ads and the bandwidth limit, although in NoScript make sure you don’t allow. AdGuard, AdBlock or AdBlock Plus work just fine in Google Chrome. If you are running Chrome or Firefox there’s a wealth of ad or script blocking extensions, most of them will work for this purpose. And that method is to simply run an ad blocker extension. The great thing about getting rid of the Hotspot Shield ads and bypassing the bandwidth limit is you can kill two birds with one stone because both are removed together by the same method. An old trick to block the ads using the Windows HOSTS file doesn’t work these days. This not only looks unsightly but depending on your connection speed and hardware can also slow down the loading and displaying of pages. Probably the most annoying thing about using the free version of Hotspot Shield is the injection of Anchorfree’s ad banner into the top of your browser window. Ironically it’s actually far easier to bypass the bandwidth limit block now that it used to be and we were quite surprised it was so easy. Old methods to unblock this limit used to include resetting the network adapter MAC Address, but this no longer works. Major streaming sites like Hulu or Netflix are forbidden and you must upgrade to use them. It is also ad supported so every HTTP page you visit will have an inserted banner at the top of the page. Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan and UK VPNs are not available. Firstly it only allows you to access its US based VPN so you can only have a US IP address. There are however, restrictions to using Hotspot Shield Free. One of the most used VPN services for several years has been Hotspot Shield by AnchorFree because it offers a free version to its paid Elite subscription that gives you many advantages of a VPN but at no cost. The popular way to circumvent these restrictions is to use a VPN or proxy service that fools the website you are trying to access into thinking you are from a different country than you actually are. Several countries also block access to adult, political and popular file sharing sites like Kickass and ThePirateBay to stop you getting access to pirated content. Another common form of internet restriction these days is when you watch movies or television online, these are often geo restricted and can only be viewed from the country hosting the content. Several countries are now actively introducing forms of internet censorship by blocking access to social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

People have been saying things like, ‘This is long overdue’, ‘God bless you for extending the blessing in the song to other tribes’, ‘Now, Odun Nlo Sopin will remain forever’ and ‘This song will unite Nigeria like never before’. “The responses we have got have been awesome, especially from the Hausa and Igbo communities in Nigeria and in the Diaspora. The audio and lyrics video of the song have been released, while the music video will be out soon.”įasoyin, who turned 80 earlier in the year, noted that the new versions of the song have been well received. That was the reason Berachah Music put together Odun Nlo Sopin ‘ Wazobia version’ to extend the blessings to all by translating it into the other two major languages in Nigeria― Hausa and Igbo. Although people of other tribes listen to the song and ‘flow’ with it, that was not enough to make them have a deeper encounter with the power in the song because they did not fully understand the language. However, it should not have been limited to the Yoruba tribe. She told Sunday Scoop, “For over 40 years, Odun Nlo Sopin has been a song with divine supernatural covering, mostly sang in the Yoruba-speaking part of the country when the year is running to an end. The leader of the respected Christ Apostolic Church’s Good Women Choir, Ibadan, Deborah Fasoyin, has said she decided to make Igbo and Hausa versions of their iconic song, Odun Nlo Sopin, because it should not be limited to Yoruba language alone.

Where to watch the Eurovision 2023 Grand Final 2023Įurovision’s Grand Final will air at 3 p.m. it can be shown that “shamayim” means something like “sky waters”. But the Hebrew word for “heaven” is “shamayim” (שׁמים), and the “mayim” part of “shamayim” is also the Hebrew word for “waters”. There was no controversy among contemporary Jews of the time that the firmament referred to something solid, and there are actually apocryphal texts describing this.Īlso, in Genesis 1, god created the firmament and calls it “heaven”. The word “firmament” is a translation of the Hebrew word “raqia” (רקיע) which comes from the root verb “raqa” (רקע) which means to beat, to stamp out. Nah bro, I didn’t want to make this an attack against Christianity, but you’re wrong. So if there are any flat earthers left here, please explain this to me. But when you do the experiment the sky always gets darker, almost like the sky is actually blue because of the atmosphere, and the vacuum of space is real. How can this be possible if the sky is blue because there’s water above the dome? If those waters were what makes the sky blue, you would expect the sky to stay blue no matter how high you went. So my question is, if you believe the sky is blue because of the waters above the dome, then how do you explain high-altitude balloon footage? Flat earthers love to invoke footage like that to “prove” the earth is flat, but if you pay attention to the footage, you’ll notice that the higher the balloon gets, the sky becomes black. This water is the water of “The Great Deep” according to their idea of Biblical cosmology. So from what i understand, flat earthers who believe in the firmament think of it as being a solid transparent dome above the flat earth, and that the reason why the sky appears blue is because there’s water above the transparent firmament. This may be a pointless question to ask since 99% of the people here are globe earthers like myself, but it’s been something that’s bugging me. The income of their Branch Offices scales to the level of crime on the planet, with a higher level of Crime providing more income, and they have their own set of Corporate Buildings that generally increase crime on the planet in addition to their other effects. It turns the MegaCorp into a criminal syndicate that cannot enter into Commercial Pacts, but does not need the permission of other empires to establish Branch Offices on their planets. In addition to their more straightforward 'regular' civics, MegaCorps also have two gameplay-changing Civics, Criminal Heritage and Gospel of the Masses:Ĭriminal Heritage has no ethics requirements but cannot be added or removed once the game has begun. For MegaCorps, however, they additionally open for the MegaCorp to establish Branch Offices by paying a fixed sum of Energy Credits. Commercial Pacts are trade agreements signed between two non-Gestalt empires that allow each empire to gain income relative to the size of the other empires' collected trade value, and is a part of the free Le Guin update. Branch Offices can normally only be established on the planets of regular (non-Gestalt, non-Corporate) empires that the MegaCorp has signed a Commercial Pact with. A Branch Office is a separate part of the planet screen that is managed by the controlling MegaCorp, where said MegaCorp can construct special Corporate Buildings. To compensate for their deficiencies when it comes to controlling territory directly, MegaCorps have the ability to construct Branch Offices on the planets of other empires. The Corporate authority fully replaces the old 'Corporate Dominion' civic for those who have the MegaCorp expansion, but Corporate Dominion is still available as a civic pick if you do not have MegaCorp. Regardless of your ethics though, the Corporate authority has the Oligarchic election format, with a new leader elected every 20 years from a pre-selected pool of candidates. Unlike the other two new authorities added in Utopia and Synthetic Dawn, the Corporate authority does not have a special ethic, but rather can support any combination of the regular empire ethics - you can play your MegaCorp as an authoritarian spiritualist corporation with indentured workers, or an egalitarian co-op that looks after the welfare of its citizens. It is an interstellar empire that is structured like a business, and is focused on trade, building tall and generating large amounts of Energy Credits. As said before, screenshots will contain placeholder art, prototype interfaces and non-final numbers.Ī MegaCorporation is a type of empire that uses the new 'Corporate' authority added in MegaCorp. Today marks the first dev diary about MegaCorp, the major expansion accompanying the 2.2 'Le Guin update', and the topic is the titular feature of MegaCorp: MegaCorporations. Hello everyone and welcome to another Stellaris development diary. It works as science fiction, which often changes one coordinate in an otherwise logical world just to see what might happen. So it is - but not while the movie is playing. This is not a movie about psychic mumble-jumble Koestler is a hard-headed scientist, too, or always thought he was, until that page of numbers came into his hands.īy "scientifically sound," I don't mean anyone at MIT is going to find the plot other than preposterous. Mendelsohn's passionate arguments, which are not technical yet are scientifically sound, raise the stakes. His obsession is scoffed at by his MIT colleague, a cosmologist named Phil Beckman ( Ben Mendelsohn), who warns Koestler against the heresy of numerology - the finding of imaginary patterns in numbers. Let me say that Koestler discovers almost by accident a pattern in the numbers, and they shake his scientific mind to its core. I'll write another article that will contain spoilers. What do these numbers mean? You already know from the TV ads, but I don't believe I should tell you. In a prologue, we've seen the girl with haunted eyes, Lucinda ( Lara Robinson), who so intensely pressed the numbers into the paper. But the sheet Caleb gets isn't a drawing it's covered with rows of numbers. A time capsule is opened at Caleb's school, containing the drawings of students in 1959 predicting the sights of 2009. He votes for deterministic as he tells his class, he believes "s**t happens." His wife has died, and he's raising his young son, Caleb ( Chandler Canterbury). Nicolas Cage, in another wound-up, edgy performance, plays John Koestler, a professor of astrophysics at MIT. Thank God though, the DECON level did not reach level 4. In the “old” days, it was Mom’s or Yiayia’s remedies, all natural, rest, and a little TLC. In today’s society when we get sick, we want a quick fix… antibiotics and we’re off to work, contaminating our co-workers. Mom looks at me and smiles… DEFCON level has now officially been dropped to 1 and all is well, except that it’s back to school tomorrow, even if I have the sniffles. He asks why I didn’t go to school since I looked fine. I am starting to feel better and by the time Dad comes home from work, I sitting up and eating something solid. It looks like the DEFCON level is being dropped back to 2. My sister is still laughing and making faces at me. I get bundled up again, more chicken soup and another Bayer aspirin and Mom tells to go to sleep.Īt this point, with the defeat of the medieval knights and hot oil dripping down my cheek, I can’t sleep but at least I can watch the Mike Douglas show or Dark Shadows. Cleans it up and sticks a cotton ball in it. Mom puts my head in her lap with my ear that is hurting facing up and slowly pours the hot, steaming, boiling oil (okay, its wasn’t that hot, but to an eight year old it was blistering) into my ear. Of course I’m crying since I know too and I don’t want to be a medieval knight but the defenders of the castle are too strong and I see the cauldron of boiling oil starting to tip over. My sister is laughing because she knows what’s coming. My ear still hurts and I know what’s coming next and it’s every Greek child’s nightmare.ĭid you ever watch those old black and white movies of the medieval knights attacking the castle and the defenders pouring the hot oil on top of them? Mom is now boiling the oil in the briki that she makes Greek coffee in and I’m the poor medieval knight trying to storm the castle. I whine that I’m not and upset she woke me up, but I do feel a little better, except for my ear. We survived.Ī few hours later I awake again because my older sister is coming home from school and complaining that I’m faking and should have went to school (she’s just like Ferris Bueller’s sister!). Now for you “newer” parents, the thought of giving your eight year old child alcohol must seem apprehensible and Children, Youth Services, or something similar, should be called. I’m smiling and Mom tells me to try and sleep and I fall asleep listening to General Hospital – I couldn’t change the channel. At least that’s what I wish it were, but it was probably just Metaxa. “Mmmmm.” I think it was Courvoisier or Hennessy. I obey without comment and take some more Bayer aspirin. Cognac? I say “yuck” but she tells me to be quiet and pours a little shot in the tea then brings the cup to my mouth and orders me to drink it. She hands me a cup of hot tea and pulls out a bottle of Cognac. Then she brings out the Vicks and rubs that smelly, greasy stuff on my chest, sticks it in my nose, and covers me up again like Nanook the Eskimo going out to catch walrus on the frozen waters. She takes rubbing alcohol and begins to “tripsi” the rubbing alcohol in my back and shoulders. Mom orders me to take off my pajama top and lifts my t-shirt up. The DEFCON level has just been raised to 2. She feels my forehead and shakes her head. “Mommmmm.” Of course, Mom being a Greek mother, runs immediately because to a Greek mother nothing is more precious than her son! And what’s wrong with that? I still feel like the truck is taking a second shot at me! I call out, “Mommmmmmmy,” in that shaky, childlike, helpless voice. Green Jeans on the television (those of you my age from the Philly area would recognize those names).Ī few hours later I awake – moaning. I fall asleep listening to Captain Kangaroo and Mr. She also makes sure I’m covered and I feel like she brought ever kouverta out of the closet to cover me and make me sweat. She places a wet panaki on my forehead and, of course, mumbles a small prayer and makes the sign of the cross over me. I eat the soup, take the aspirin, and drink some ginger-ale and Mom tells me to sleep. Mom brings me home-made chicken soup, Bayer aspirin, and some ginger-ale – the essentials. I’m moaning and lying on the couch in front of the old RCA television set and I’m stuck watching one channel because, back then, there were no remotes. This would have been great except that I feel like a Mack truck ran over me – then reversed and backed over me. It’s winter 1966, I’m eight years old and I have a bad cold, maybe a little fever, and my one ear hurts.

It would also be useful if there was a snap function so that internal walls could line up - at the moment it's trial and error.The only complete app that allows you to create and customize your plans! I also hit some snags when designing a more complex structure - the software tries to work out external or internal walls and there were quite a few instances where it got it wrong and I couldn't correct it. The walkthrough mode is not easy to control - trying to get the angle right to see from all sides takes more effort than you'd think. It's not perfect, but it's also not expensive so is worth a punt. Picking colours and finishes wasn't hard and there's a wide range of furniture to pick from so you can end up with a walkthrough fairly easily. It was fairly easy to get going and design a basic structure. There's also a hybrid mode which I could never really get comfortable with. The software allows you to work in plan view and in 3D walkthrough modes so you can set out all your walls in 2D mode and then move into 3D to check out how it looks. I'm a complete interiors nut so I was really looking forward to seeing how my dream home could look in reality.

The reason for my findings "Live Home 3D Pro" export options for say FBX format export file to "Autodesk 3ds Max 2018 version" will crash if -compatibility are selected, but 2016 compatibility works with Autodesk 3ds Max. As for OBJ format export to Autodesk? takes forever to load in Max] and never wait that long to load any project export file. Now, the export features especially crashes during export process to Autodesk 3d Max. Honestly, the package is excellent and very very affordable yet provides varieties of functionalities or features at a realistic price tag. First-time users will have a lot of fun experiencing the functionality of features that normally takes time to complete are visible prior to confirming the finish sections of any project component. Nothing complicated depending on the complexity of the project in question. Other attractive features are the "editing and or modifications" on the fly. The Software is very promising due to its simplicity and powerful features most importantly import/export capabilities. Simplicity and all the features that get the Job done "clicks" away. I recommend to anyone looking for or under tight budget looking for "Engineering & Architecture" software look no further. In addition to all the bells & whistles packaged in the Software I get a satisfaction of designing small & reasonable project quickly and professionally presentable on all levels. One of the ways I dealt with it was to absolutely accept it, and think, 'Right, they've told me this thing is inoperable – if I've got 10 months to live, I just want to do it, I don't want to spend 10 months running around after second opinions or false hopes.' In a way, it was a kind of comfort zone, accepting that I was going to die and all the questions of mortality had been sorted out for me. "I didn't plan to feel that way about death," he said to The Guardianin 2015. That year, he underwent a successful 11-hour operation, though he often spoke about how his experience shaped his attitude toward the eventual end of his life. He was told by doctors in 2014 that his cancer had been misdiagnosed and was more treatable than first assumed. "I thought that was going to be the last thing I ever did," Johnson told the BBC at the time. In 2014, he teamed up with the Who's Roger Daltrey for 2014's Going Back Home, which featured re-recorded versions of Dr. He embarked on a "farewell tour" that same year. In early 2013, Johnson was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, at which time he revealed he had roughly 10 months to live and that he had elected not to undergo chemotherapy. Johnson also acted, appearing in the first and second seasons of Game of Thrones. Over the years, Johnson performed and recorded with various bands, including Solid Senders, Ian Dury's Blockheads and the Wilko Johnson Band. His most recent album, Blow Your Mind, was released in 2018. Johnson stayed on for one more album, 1977's Sneakin' Suspicion, and then left following band disagreements. Their first two albums, Down by the Jetty and Malpractice (both released in 1975), were well received, but their breakthrough arrived with 1976's Stupidity, a live album that reached No. Within two years, they were mainstays of London's pub-rock circuit. Sparks, with drummer John Martin joining shortly afterward. The initial lineup included singer Lee Brilleaux and bassist John B. After spending some time traveling abroad in India, he returned to Essex, where he joined a group called the Pigboy Charlie Band, which eventually turned into Dr. While he is living life this fully, and with such bristling bravado, long may he feel mortified.Born in Canvey Island, Essex, England, Johnson attended the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and graduated with his BA in English Language and Literature. After cracking through the Who's I Can't Explain, he holds his microphone to Wilko's stomach as if the disease itself might sing a verse, while Johnson mock-dies. Dad-dancing, forgetting lyrics and muddling his lyric sheets like a doddery rock champion, Daltrey sweeps all sense of finality, tribute or po-faced reverence from the evening and lifts it towards a tearless celebration, a lock-in at the last chance saloon. When a besuited Daltrey emerges to run through their last-minute collaboration album of Wilko and Feelgood numbers Going Back Home, and add epic rock pomp to their cover of Dylan's carnival wife-stealing ditty Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window, the party cranks up. The East End Trotterisms of Feelgood's The More I Give – a signpost to Johnson's later stint in Ian Dury's Blockheads – finds him staring down the crowd with all the menace of his Game of Thrones executioner. These are 12-bar rock'n'roll, reggae and rhythm-and-blues songs of rampant teenage exploits, adventurous seafaring and cruel women such as Roxette, vividly alive indeed. Besides a snapped "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone", during Wilko's wired initial set with his own band, there's no lingering on the inevitable tonight. |
