![]() The Melodies of CreationImmerse yourself in the rich, bittersweet world of The Talos Principle with a stunning soundtrack by master composer Damjan Mravunac (Serious Sam, The Talos Principle), with a guest appearance by Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain 1 and 2). Take a break from puzzle-solving to discover long-buried secrets and strands of forgotten history. Brave New WorldExplore more than a dozen all-new environments, from a city on the brink of a paradigm shift to the varied landscapes of a mysterious island that holds the keys to the future. A Philosophical OdysseyTake the next step forward in the story of The Talos Principle in a thought-provoking, character-driven interactive story with multiple endings penned by returning writers Jonas Kyratzes (The Eternal Cylinder, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos) and Tom Jubert (The Swapper, Subnautica), joined by Verena Kyratzes (The Hand of Merlin, Serious Sam 4). A variety of new abilities, such as gravity manipulation and mind transference, join the established mechanics of the original Talos Principle, creating a fresh but familiar experience. ![]() Finish the game without solving every puzzle, or pursue the rewards of complete mastery. A New Generation of PuzzlesSolve a wide array of puzzles with varying difficulty levels, including clever metapuzzles and highly challenging Gold puzzles. The broken promise of a better tomorrow, the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes, faith in reason or renouncing humanity altogether - the choices you make and the sides you take will determine the course of events. ![]() The more you discover, the more you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization. (The Star's Receiver will be blocked by the forcefield for now. Place Connector 2 so it links to all of the Blue Receivers and the Blue Source at the same time. Sometimes it isn't and I'll just look it up.Born into a new world where biological humanity is extinct but human culture lives on in a city of robots, you find yourself swept up in a mind-bending adventure involving a mysterious megastructure hiding enormous powers. When you get everything on the LEFT side: Place Connector 1 on the Blue Laser Source Button while linking to the Red Receiver and to the RECORDED Connector 1 through the window. Star 2: Go underwater below the bridge to find the star. Sometimes the solution is immediately obvious with fresh eyes. I'll always walk away and try again in a day or two later and come back to the puzzle with a fresh perspective. I will say though, for this game in particular, I don't usually look up the solution immediately. So my playstyle is probably the minority here. I imagine most players who enjoyed the game enough to post about it on Reddit are the type who would rarely use help though. After a certain level of frustration I just want it to be done. I understand that getting the satisfaction from solving a difficult puzzle is the reward in and of itself for many players. Why spend hours and hours feeling aggravated when I could be zipping around having more fun in terms of quantity. I just keep thinking about all the fun I could be having and begin to get frustrated. ![]() So if I get stuck, I start to get frustrated.

This will not be the first case the FTC has filed against Amazon under Khan. Some states have pushed back against making Prime, a popular consumer service, a focal point of the case. The exact allegations will determine who joins. The FTC has told some states that it plans to share more information by the end of July to help them determine whether to join the suit. ![]() Were an FTC tribunal to hear the case, its own commissioners would serve as prosecutors and judges, which would clearly make Khan more susceptible to claims of bias.Īnd while there is no large, formal multi-state alliance investigating Amazon, unlike in similar lawsuits against Facebook and Google, that does not preclude states from now joining the FTC’s case. The agency has not ruled on the request, but filing a case in the federal court will help sidestep the issue. With that in mind, Amazon has sought Khan’s recusal both for her past statements against the company and over investigative work into the tech sector while a staffer on the House Judiciary Committee. Shortly after Khan joined the agency, she diverted additional resources to the Amazon probe. However, he sidelined the inquiry in favour of a different investigation into Meta. The Amazon investigation first started during the Trump administration under former chair Joe Simons. Amazon briefly allowed sellers to use other logistics providers and still receive prioritised listings, but reversed that policy several years ago, although it recently announced it is restarting that programme.Īmazon’s rapidly growing digital advertising business will also likely be targeted, with the FTC concerned that the company forces merchants to buy ads in order to receive more favourable placements in search results. The FTC is also expected to claim that Amazon steers sellers to its own logistics services, which include shipping and warehousing, by rewarding them with better placement on its website, and punishing them when they use alternative providers. ![]() ![]() The agency will probably file the suit in the federal court rather than its own in-house tribunal.Īs part of its probe, the FTC has interviewed dozens of witnesses both inside and outside Amazon, including CEO Andy Jassy and former CEO and founder Jeff Bezos, collecting and collating millions of documents from Amazon and third parties over the last three years to build its case. The complaint is likely to include challenges to its Amazon Prime product, with the FTC maintaining that the company’s policies forbid vendors from offering lower prices on competing websites and that its terms and conditions force merchants to use Amazon’s logistics and advertising services. Khan rose to prominence as a big-tech sceptic with a 2017 academic paper specifically identifying Amazon as a modern monopolist needing to be reined in. The lawsuit is likely to be filed as soon as August, and will likely challenge a host of Amazon’s business practices and, if successful, could lead to a court-ordered restructuring of Jeff Bezos’ USD 1.3 trillion empire and define the legacy of FTC chair Lina Khan. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is putting the finishing touches to its long-awaited antitrust lawsuit against Amazon, setting the scene for what is likely to be one of the most aggressive moves in the Biden administration’s efforts to tame the power of tech giants. The online retailer’s business practices are being called into question on both sides of the Atlantic.

Neither a sword-fight nor a brawl, the Divine Dragon is the game’s most unusual boss fight. Fiery, horny (not that kind), with more than a little hair. ![]() Sekiro’s Demon of Hatred certainly retains many of these elements, and while it resembles several other creatures from previous From Software games such as Manus and the Demon Cleric, it also bears a striking resemblance to oni depicted in Edo-era woodblock art. Captains of the underworld, oni are rumoured to be born from wicked humans whose souls are beyond redemption. These large ferocious demons are infamous in Japanese folklore, are never good news, and are often blamed for bringing all kinds of calamity. Demon of HatredĪlong with the Chained Ogre boss, the end-game Demon of Hatred is based on the oni. The creatures are also held by Buddhists to be harbingers of war, which is more than a little relevant to Sekiro once you discover Tengu’s true identity. Tengu are said to be excellent martial artists, with Sekiro’s imposing warrior possessing two out of five of the game’s so-called “Esoteric Texts”, which teach our shinobi a range of combat abilities. Its long beak becoming the extended (I’m obliged to mention phallic) nose we see today. Over time the creature’s depiction became less avian and more human. Powerful, god-like demons, tengu are thought to be based upon birds of prey. Tengu of Ashina is a key character whose name comes from the red, long-nosed mask he wears. It’s a rich artistic tradition, and its influence on Sekiro is clear. ![]() Ever since, Japanese art and literature has built upon this legacy of monsters, demons, gods and animal spirits, especially in Japanese woodblock printing. Many can be traced back to ancient tales, but it was the natural history encyclopedias and bestiaries of the Edo period that helped popularise them (most famous is Sekien Toriyama’s The Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, which catalogs over two hundred of them). Lordran is almost purely imaginative, but Sekiro’s Ashina is set securely in Japan during the Sengoku period, and closely draws from surrounding legends and myths.Īlmost all its creatures are a play on yōkai, for example, a diverse group of strange, supernatural creatures. Whereas Dark Souls had everything to do with “lore”, Sekiro more delicately pulls from folklore. It’s a fine balance between the real and the romantic. For every deftly fought duel against a venerable warrior there’s a slug-fest with a headless ape that hurls toxic poo. Fantastic creatures are as important to Sekiro as its samurai and shinobi. ![]() ![]() ![]() It doesn’t make sense to ship an order if the shipping costs exceed that of the order. Case counts are generally housed in a different section of the warehouse than individual SKUS, so breaking a carton results in additional labor costs.Īnother reason distributors use dollar minimums is just plain economics. SKU minimums can be justified by the distributor because it’s easier to ship a box lot as opposed to breaking the seal on a carton, parsing out individual items, and dealing with the remaining count in a separate warehouse location. Smaller retailers have said for years that they are more than able to adhere to dollar minimums, but when it comes to SKU minimums, it becomes a common complaint that SKU minimums need to be lowered or eliminated. ![]() Minimums can limit your ability to grow your selection when you are forced to buy a 24 case count of a single SKU. Testing new products or entering new lines of products may be the biggest problem. Meeting a dollar amount from the buyer is an easy thing to accomplish when ordering to an open-to-buy, however, when the distributor requires a 24 or 30 count purchase per SKU, it becomes very difficult to expand your selection when you are required to increase your inventory arbitrarily as a result of a minimum. Dollar minimums can run as low as $100.00 per order, but the problem comes in with SKU minimums. Most importantly, it allows them to require the retail buyer to purchase a minimum amount of inventory in order for it to ship. Wholesalers and distributors have minimums in place for a variety of reasons. Minimums are a minimum amount of product you are required to purchase – either in dollar amount or in SKU count – from either the wholesaler or direct distributor. Minimums If you have worked in the retail industry, you know what they are. ![]() ![]() IMPORTANT FOR OPERATION ON A 220/240 VOLT A.C. ■ Pay close attention when working around children ■ Turn off all controls before unplugging ■ Keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, etc. ■ Use only cleaning products formulated by BISSELL for use in this appliance ■ Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments ■ Do not use for any purpose other than described in this User’s Guide ■ Do not pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, petrol, etc.) ■ Do not use appliance in an enclosed space filled with vapours given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, some moth proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapours ■ Do not pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, petrol, kerosene, etc.) or use in the presence of explosive liquids or vapour ■ Do not expose hair, loose clothing, fingers or body parts to openings or moving parts ■ Do not put any object into appliance openings, use with blocked opening, or restrict air flow ■ Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands ■ Do not carry the appliance while in use ■ Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, pull cord around sharp corners or edges, run appliance over cord, or expose cord to heated surfaces ■ Do not use machine if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water ■ If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized Service Center in order to avoid a hazard ■ Do not service machine when it is plugged in ■ Do not leave machine when it is plugged in ■ Use only on surfaces moistened by cleaning process WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury: Unplug from outlet when not in use and before conducting maintenance or troubleshooting. ![]() READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR UPRIGHTĪlways connect to a properly Earthed Outlet. ![]() When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following: ![]() ![]() ![]() The lab’s website will also list the type of tests performed and their locations.

Nonetheless, our type is the principal type, an icon of a coin, seldom seen in acceptable condition yet widely pursued regardless, the proven formula that drives supply and demand. Sear loses all reason in giving his 99 (480/2c) a separate number, as if it was a different coin, while he simultaneously takes all the Crawford numbers from 480/9 to 480/14, and groups all 6 coins together as one type at his 107 (hey, David, either approach will do, but pick a theme and stick to it). 480/2b and 480/2c (Sear 99) are variant die states of this same coin, the former with the obverse lituus curving right (rather than left), and the latter unintentionally omitting the line over Mettius’ name (exergue) on the reverse, both variations attributable to die makers whim, certainly not a reflection of intent, and probably limited to 1 or 2 obv. ![]() With the fait accompli in hand, and the army behind him, majority Senate indulgence was a formality, but more important, minority Senate contempt was a reality, and the case can be argued that the minority secretly supported the decision, as they imagined (at best) public outcry at this symbol of impending kingship, or (at the least) public sympathy with their growing scheme to assassinate Caesar (defend the republican ethos) once the murder had been actualized. Crawford, 1983, says (on page 94) “the Senate voted to place Caesar’s portrait on the coinage” though that may have happened upon Caesar’s suggestion, or even after it was already a fact, but Caesar was not bestowing upon the Senate, a new liberty, in respect to oversight, that they did not already possess legally. A scarce coin and though not the rarest Caesar portrait coin, it is among the most widely desired, minted in small numbers, without Senate enthusiasm for production of coinage with his own head (the Senate did not, in any case, have legal authority over silver coins). 480/2a (the primary variety with a lituus that curves left). “M METTIVS” in exergue, the first moneyer to mint a coin with Caesar’s portrait (Mettius was an old friend of Caesar’s having once been his ambassador to a chieftain in Gaul).

Octavian successfully paired his portrait with that of Caesar throughout this period advertising continually the strong links between himself and the deceased dictator, links which could not be surmounted, even by Antony.Ī perfect choice for Numismatists, Historians, Military Veterans, Collectors.Rome: 20, 44BCE. (Gaius Caesar, Dictator for Life, Pontifex Maximus). The obverse reads C CAESAR COS PONT AVG (Gaius Caesar, Consul, Pontifex, Augur) and the reverse C CAESAR DICT PERP PONT MAX. The similarity in portrait style is designed to closely link the men. Octavian chose a similar type to that of Antony, a double portrait coin. He first minted coinage in 43 BC during campaigns in Gaul (RRC 490/1-4). Octavian, as Caesar’s legal heir, could claim not only Caesar’s name but a familial bond and this becomes a common motif in his coinage throughout the Triumviral period. The death of Caesar brought his heir Octavian into direct opposition to Antony both presented themselves as Caesar’s political successor. It goes without saying you always get the exact item in the picture. This issue was hand struck in Plovdiv, Bulgaria (ancient Roman province Philippopolis). This issue was struck by Octavian after he became consul on 19 August. When the Senate refused, Octavian marched into Rome and organized consular elections. In the summer of 43 BC, following the battle of Mutina, Octavian demanded from the Senate one of the consulships recently left vacant by the deaths of Hirtius and Pansa. ![]() ![]() And the Polartec Alpha Direct-distinguishable from other synthetic insulation like PrimaLoft by its low-density design-traps heat in its many air pockets when you’re inactive. The Pertex shell sheds moisture very effectively while still allowing for good airflow. One thing became immediately apparent: it has a remarkable ability to simultaneously vent heat and protect you from the elements. I often found myself hanging out in it from the moment I woke up until it was time to cozy up in my sleeping bag.īreathability is another strongpoint of the Outdoor Research Ascendant. With a bit less insulation than the since-discontinued Uberlayer (95g/m2 compared to 98g/m2), but significantly more than other options like the Patagonia Nano-Air and Arc’teryx Atom LT (60g each), the Ascendant lands in a well-deserved category as a versatile jacket for almost any season or activity. And it can definitely go colder with more layers added. In practice, I found the Ascendant’s “sweet spot” to be within five degrees of freezing on either end, which is a respectable range for an active insulation piece. In terms of layering, I often paired it with a short-sleeve baselayer, and sported the jacket as an outer layer for descending just as often as I did for climbing-a true testament to its temperature-regulating ability and breathability (more on that below). If anything, I found that the Ascendant ran a little on the warm side during aerobic activities. Despite its plush, toy-like appearance, the Polartec Alpha Direct synthetic insulation worked great. While I expected this weight-saving decision to impact warmth, that wasn’t the case. The Outdoor Research Ascendant Hoody, unlike many other active insulation pieces, has only two layers: an outer shell and inner insulation. ![]() To see how the Ascendant stacks up, see our articles on the best synthetic jackets and best midlayers.
