Heroes are like any unit in an RTS or RPG: They have health, mana, damage, armor, and the like. Remember that you can lock the pool if you want a piece but can’t afford it until next round-just don’t forget to unlock it. You can spend money to refresh your available pool and hunt down the pieces for your combo, but that costs valuable gold and will guarantee your defeat if you do it too much in the early to mid game. You’ve got eight reserve hero slots for precisely this reason. Your early hero buys might not fit into a larger strategy very well, but don’t be afraid to buy low level pieces you might not use long term because level one heroes can always be sold back for their full value. Meanwhile, it’s expensive to make a four or five cost hero (36 or 45 gold, respectively) into its level three form-not to mention that you’d need to get randomly dealt and then have the gold to buy 90% of the available supply of a five cost hero to level it up. You just need to spend the nine gold to buy nine copies, and there are 45 copies of a one cost hero in the pool, so you’ve got a good chance of finding them in the draft. So it’s pretty easy to make a one cost hero into a level three. Heroes cost an amount based on their power-between one and five-but take the same number of duplicates to upgrade no matter their base cost. Placing three heroes of the same kind and level on the board will upgrade them into a single, stronger hero of a higher level. I like to just commit to the loss until I get to less than 40 health while focusing on only the most valuable heroes, and then combine those heroes to a mid-game surge and spend big to try to win. Losing on purpose can be good if you’re struggling-it’ll cost you hit points, but it’ll also stack up your losing streak bonus and let you get back in the game before you’re out entirely. The poorest players in a game are the ones who alternate between winning and losing each round. (It’s something you can control!)Įconomic strategy, therefore, is to either win or lose for a few games in a row, but never alternate between the two. Each round you also get 10 percent interest on your gold stores, rounded down-saving up 50 or more gold at the mid game for late game interest is important. You also get gold for a streak-either winning or losing-that can stack up to three per win or loss in a row. You’ll also get a single extra gold for winning a round. The game isn't made any easier by balance updates that come nearly every day of the week, especially when they change which heroes cost what and therefore how many are in the pool.Įach round you’ll get a base gold income. The Auto Chess economyĮconomics are king in Auto Chess, but feature some remarkably unintuitive aspects. So you have to focus on aspects of the game that you can control. If this all sounds random and surprising and hard to keep up with, that’s because it is-at least at first. The early game is generally considered to be the first four levels, the mid to be levels five to seven, and the late to be levels eight to ten. This will easily clear through most simple stages.I’ll use the terms early-, mid-, and late-game a lot in this guide. Though, that is part of it, admittedly.įirst, try to make sure you have a good balance of close up melee characters to absorb hits, and ranged attacks that can stack up the DPS from a safe distance. It's not as simple as just throwing a bunch of monsters out and hoping for the best. Then you'll have to think about their ranks, and their positioning on the field. More expensive monsters will, shockingly, often be more powerful. Monsters attack at different ranges and have different abilities. The monsters you choose will be the first key point. Your strategy will be what carries you through the rounds, and without some active effort, you might not be able to fight through. You will already know that Auto Chess isn't much like chess, instead seeing a menagerie of absurd monsters do battle for you automatically on a black and white chess grid.īut their automatic fights doesn't mean you don't have to put the effort in. If you want to win your battles in Auto Chess: Origins, then you will need these tips, that much is certain. You need to rank up units, equip with them items, and utilise advanced strategies to ensure you come out on top every single time.Īs such, we've got for you here a fresh bunch of advanced tips, and these will help you exact revenge on those enemies that lay in your way, and win every single round. Yes, the battle will play out automatically, but your preparations will mean the difference between victory and failure, without a doubt. Winning in Auto Chess: Origins isn't as simple as you might think.

The problem was somewhat shocking: Ray wasn’t into paying attention to Burns or the orchestra – and Mae was down on the ground scratching Ray’s bare feet and ankles, drawing blood with her fingernails. Someone pointed at Ray, and Burns turned around to see what the problem was. He was led to the piano and everyone got ready to play “Georgia”, but when conductor and arranger Ralph Burns began, the orchestra seemed distracted and the take immediately ground to a halt. Would Ray even come at all? Are we all going to get paid our promised double overtime for the late session? Everyone had reason to sweat.įinally Ray came in with his mistress Mae Mosely Lyles Ray was almost entirely oblivious to his surroundings, having just shot up heroin. Ray was late to the studio, and the fifty-five members of the orchestra and choir, as well as the technicians and others, were kept waiting for a tense two hours. While “Georgia On My Mind” is famous for its lovingly gentle tribute to home and hearth – its universal and yearning feeling of homesick appreciation for ones own roots – the way that it was recorded couldn’t be more at odds with its reputation.įrom Michael Lydon’s biography Ray Charles Man and Music comes the story of the recording session that produced “Georgia On My Mind”. In the end it doesn’t really matter – if it has to be one or the other, you’d have to give it to the State. But the dichotomy is part of the mysterious appeal of the song. There are clear references to both in the lyrics – the “other arms” of a girl, the “moonlight through the pines” of the state. One debate that has gone on forever is whether “Georgia On My Mind” is about a girl or the southern American state. (In fact this was a one-off he never wrote another song after “Georgia”.)įrom such humble beginnings rose one of the most-recorded songs of the twentieth century by the time that Ray Charles did it, it had been covered by nearly everyone who was anyone, though it was Ray’s that brought it to full worldwide attention. His friend and fellow Hoosier Stuart Gorrell wrote the lyrics to the song, but was a banker, not a professional musician. Hoagland “Hoagy” Carmichael, a songwriter from Indiana, was on the verge of quitting the music business when he co-composed “Georgia On My Mind” its success prompted him to continue in his career. It went to Number One on the Billboard charts and eventually became the official state song of Georgia, where Ray was born in Albany in 1930 – the year the song was written. It originally appeared on his July 1960 album The Genius Hits The Road (his first for ABC) and was released as a single in August that year. “Georgia On My Mind” is arguably Ray Charles’ most famous recording.

Guam Waterworks Authority was working to restore water service and had issued a notice advising customers to boil their water. Guam Power Authority said crews were working to restore power to critical and priority facilities such as a hospital, water wells and wastewater plants. “We have weathered the storm,” she said, adding that “the worst has gone by.” Leon Guerrero said in a video message late Thursday morning that roads were passable, but residents should avoid driving and stay home due to ongoing strong winds. Power and internet failures made communication on the far-flung island difficult in the early going. Wednesday as a Category 4 storm at Andersen Air Force Base on the northern tip of the island, weather service officials said. The strongest typhoon to hit the territory of roughly 150,000 people since 2002, Mawar briefly made landfall around 9 p.m. “Most of Guam is dealing with a major mess that’s going to take weeks to clean up,” he added. We’re looking out our door and what used to be a jungle looks like toothpicks - it looks like a scene from the movie ‘Twister,’ with trees just thrashed apart," Landon Aydlett, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said in a briefing streamed online. “We are waking up to a rather disturbing scene out there across Guam. The island's international airport flooded and the swirling typhoon churned up a storm surge and waves that crashed through coastal reefs and flooded homes. The central and northern parts of the island received more than 2 feet (60 centimeters) of rain as the eyewall passed. Survey and work crews were assessing damage at military installations, which were limited to essential personnel only, according to Joint Region Marianas. “After speaking with department leaders and seeing the incredible rapid response to the storm I am confident we will make significant progresses towards restoration of services.” “We now continue to focus our efforts on repairing infrastructure and restoring services to residents,” Leon Guerrero said in a statement. She thanked the people of Guam for keeping themselves safe and protected during the storm.

Now, if you want to listen to that podcast on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, you must plug your device into your computer and sync it. The show is added to your own podcast subscription list and the most recent show is downloaded onto your computer. Once deciding you want to subscribe to that podcast, you end up on that show’s page in iTunes and you subscribe for free. Or perhaps you’ve come to a website promoting their podcast, or a friend told you about a certain one. Perhaps you are simply browsing the multitude of shows in the iTunes Podcast directory. You discover a podcast you like via one of many ways. Downcast for Mac is available on the Mac App Store at an introductory price of $9.99.There is a problem with subscribing to podcasts on your iPhone, and it has to do with iTunes. One that refreshes all feeds, one to refresh a specific feed list, and another that seems to refresh everything in iCloud.Īside from an abundance of things to refresh, Downcast for Mac is a faithful interpretation of what Downcast is in a Mac app. For instance, there are three different refresh buttons in the main window. I do think it needs some refreshing over time. Many others I have don't work entirely well and I use Dropbox instead.ĭowncast's interface is plain and simple in a refreshing way. Immediately, my settings, episode list, podcast subscriptions, & playlists all came in via iCloud.Īside: Downcast is one of the few apps using iCloud that really seems to just work without hassle. As soon as I installed and launched it, I simply clicked a little cloud icon, and checked four boxes. Downcast for Mac is now available on the Mac App Store. But I had been wanting podcast listening on my Mac again. Sure, I've fired up my podcasts on my iPad and kept it playing on my desk, and that's fine and all. At first this didn't really bother me until I started being in front of my desk more and more. The only role Downcast didn't fulfill was being able to listen from my Mac. It is every bit the caliber you would expect Apple to make, but Apple didn’t make it. It doesn’t even use iCloud to sync the subscription list between your iPhone and iPad, instead making you go through the subscription process twice. This app does not feel like something Apple made. It didn't take long using Downcast and seeing how easily it synced over iCloud with my iPad to realize it was the app that Podcasts should have been.Īpple’s Podcasts app is slow, buggy, and lacks the typical polish and refinement we’ve all come to expect. Both were iOS only at the time, but I didn't mind because I was doing most of my listening on my iPhone, anyway. So that left me with a decision to make between the two biggest names I had heard about. But actually using the app was downright awful. I loved the reel-to-reel animation, superfluous as it was. Podcasts was gorgeous at its debut, sure. And I kept on this way until Apple released its Podcasts app partway through iOS 5's life cycle. Many would likely agree Apple kicked podcasts into mainstream use.Īfter the debut of the iPhone and then the App Store, third party podcast apps started to appear for movie listening, but I stuck with Apple's iTunes and the iPhone's iPod app, since I was syncing all the time anyway, because untethered sync still wasn't around for the iPhone. I'm pretty sure I've been an avid podcast listener since Apple first integrated it into iTunes and the iPod.

Very good for individuals, probably even better for teamsīy now, it should be quite clear that GitKraken is not free for commercial use. By creating multiple profiles, you ensure that your UI preferences, integrations, and all Git config information are all ready to go, making switching between projects a breeze. GitKraken also supports multiple profiles. You'll be able to generate SSH keys, clone and fork repositories, as well as create and manage pull requests. The main benefit is that you can manage issues, create branches, as well as new issues without any context switching (without having to leave GitKraken's window).įor example, login into GitKraken using your GitHub account (you can also log in using Google accounts) will ensure you can connect to all your GitHub connections instantly. GitKraken also integrates with some other essential issue tracking platforms such as Trello, Jira, GitLab, GitHub, and it also has something called GitKraken Boards. GitKraken would not have been one of the best Git clients out there without the ability to integrate efficiently with popular Git repository hosting services such as GitHub, Bitbucket, Gitlab, and Azure DevOps (VSTS). The former will help you find the most relevant commands and even complete various actions, while the latter is the app's "magic button." You can now undo actions such as checkout, commit, discard, delete a branch, remove remote, and reset branch to a commit. The Fuzzy Finder alongside the "Undo in 1 Click" feature will ensure that mistakes are kept to a bare minimum. There's an easy-to-read commit-graph helping you visualize commit history and branch structure, support for a plethora of customizable keyboard shortcuts (for navigating, repository actions, and tab work), and a Fuzzy Finder. Almost everything is designed to make user input as efficiently as possible. The first thing you'll notice while using GitKraken is its sleek and modern-looking tabbed GUI. GitKraken's GUI might just be its best feature Thankfully, there's one Git client out there that's designed in such a manner that's both feature-packed and remarkably user-friendly. While the command line is exceptionally fast when it comes to basic tasks such as cloning, committing, and fetching, for a beginner it can prove to be hell for more complex tasks such as merging, rebasing, managing branches, and so forth. You have two main options: you can either learn how to use Git from the command line, or you can use a Git client. While Git is not exactly rocket science, it's definitely not a walk in the park, especially for beginners. Trying to figure out Git for the first time might seem a bit intimidating. And the price is much BETTER than other high-quality units by other brands.” The heater gets to 170 degrees, where most sauna manufacturers’ highest heat is NOT medically therapeutic. The wood is not treated with chemicals, and we only use non-toxic glue, so there’s no off-gas in the high temperatures. The Canadian cedar smells like heaven, and won’t mold. There are no toxins used in manufacturing. I looked into their sourcing, and I’m impressed by their high standards. I chose the manufacturer of Influence Sauna for a reason. Robyn worked with the best sauna engineer and manufacturer in the industry to bring you Influence Sauna because she wants to help more people enjoy the BEST possible saunas for the lowest possible prices.“After spending 12 years researching and understanding the technologies and materials used in saunas-and researching the science, I know what to look for in a quality sauna. I really feel so much better knowing I now have a EMF safe sauna with quality heaters, that does everything mine does! I just had to express to anyone on the fence about this, don’t think twice!! I rarely miss a day in it, it’s totally my retreat time!! Thanks Robyn! ……AND Kali,for your excellent customer service! Karen R. Would not sell, or recommend, anything she doesn’t believe in! My sauna is amazing!! I’m not new to saunas, I’ve been using them for 15 years, and I have NEVER got the fabulous detox sweat I get now! I would sit in my old sauna for 40 minutes and not really even break a good sweat. When I first saw Robyn in a video eating her face cream on toast, I knew she was a straight shooter lol. Big mistake, I wish I would have just gone with my gut and bought it a year earlier. I wanted to do my research, so I ended up waiting until the next year doing A LOT of reading. I first considered Robyn’s sauna two years ago during a group buy. You would be amazed how much is out there! It’s enough to make your head spin, no doubt. I read everything I could find on EMF levels, heaters, construction etc. Hello! When I saw in my emails that it was that time for the group sauna buy, I knew I had to get the review out that I’ve been meaning to do for a long time! I’m doing this hoping to save someone the countless hours, over months, I spent researching infrared saunas. Then the problem will be stopping the pounding on my door from the hordes that want to jump in. Once again, thanks so much, and I can’t wait for my sauna to arrive. The facts speak for themselves and were more than enough to get me excited. Not that there’s anything wrong with that approach.

I was considering getting a less expensive model, but after listening to how you laid out the broad range of benefits and the high-quality of your product, the choice was simple. GreenSmoothieGirl & founder of Influence Sauna It’s the one piece of health equipment-unlike that treadmill collecting dust in the corner-that EVERYONE uses, regularly, because they love the benefits they get from it.” I get 100% rave reviews about how people feel after using their sauna. In 15+ years of recommending infrared saunas- and thousands of my readers investing in one- NOT ONE has ever told me they’re sorry they did. Invest in your health as early as you can! Don’t spend your health obtaining wealth, and then have to spend all your wealth trying to get your health back-like so many people I know are doing. “I believe saving up and obtaining your own sauna is worth EVERY penny. People tell me it blows their mind how it’s changed their health.” I’ve encouraged hundreds of people to get a sauna in their home. It’s a really positive, pleasant experience.Īnd it can be a NEEDLE-MOVER for health. And, everybody I know who owns an infrared sauna loves it and gets in it all the time.
