Distributed with the LEGO Marvel Avengers preorder video game in a polybag. The Silver Centurion’s armor piece has two printed pieces, a 1 x 1 tile and a 2 x 1 tile that snap on to the studs on the armor. Included are some transparent studs for the repulsor effect from his palms, as well as two 1 x 1 round bricks for leg propulsion. Like all Iron Man minifigures, the Silver Centurion’s mask flips open to reveal Tony Stark’s dual-printed face. The polybag consists of 12 pieces that make up the Silver Centurion minifigurewith Iron Man Mark 33 armor. The preorder bonus was part of Gamestop release in the US. This minifigure was part of the LEGO Marvel Avengers video game preorders developed by TT Game. You should gear this character up to near twink status to cut your kill time down. This might be offset by mastery, however, depending on your gear. You should be restoration spec, because for some reason moonfire does more damage than in balance spec at level 10. You will want to make a Druid, because druids can mindlessly spam moonfire and cut down the focus on what is a very tedious grind. Since all of the gear is BoE, you can safely farm it on a level 10 and send it to your level 1 twink. Everyone from level 1 to 10 loot the same Ilvl of gear (as far as what's relevant to us). I recommend that you do all of your farming on a character that is level 10 with locked experience. Some final things to note while you're farming, a great deal of legion BoE Epics will drop. It too is capable of proccing a socket and tertiary stat. Trinkets lack the suffixes of other slots and simply give you two of a random secondary stat, and a primary that depends on the item type. Neck and Fingers, which have a high secondary stat budget to compensate for the lack of primary stats, can be +3/+1, +2/+2, +3/+2, and +4 secondary stats, making +3/+2 the best option. You need to find one with a balanced weight for each stat to get the most out of it at +1/+1. You also only get +1 from the all in one suffixes. You can sometimes only get 1 single secondary stat out of these slots, which will be the one that was given a “low weight" compared to the other for its suffix. These are the only slots where the all-in-one suffixes are useful.īack and Wrist items at Ilvl5 have such a low budget for secondary and tertiary stats that one of the two stats are sometimes rounded down to 0. Shoulders, hands, waist, and feet items have a moderate stat budget and can only provide you with either +1/+1 or +2 secondary stats, making either option the best one. They can provide you either +1/+1, +2, or +2/+1 secondary stats, making +2/+1 the obvious goal. Head, chest, and leg items have the highest secondary stat budget out of the non jewelry armor slots. Trinkets (If you’re wanting an offensive option) The BoE gear you’re going to want as your BiS will be formatted in this way. BFA lockboxes require a level 50, making it a waste. Also, Rings and Trinkets are unique-equipped, so you'll need more than one zone worth of BiS rings at the very least.ģ) Legion lockboxes can be opened on a level 10 character for BoE loot that scales to 1. This means that there are significantly more spots for us to farm, with more condensed mobs that have force spawns due to quest requirements. If you don't know what I mean, all weapon BoEs that drop in any expansion only scale down to usable at level 4, for some reason.Ģ) The Broken Isles contains 4 zones that scale to 10, rather than only 2 for BFA (Tiragarde Sound and Zuldazar). This means you are getting less effective drops by farming BFA mobs. There are three reasons for this.ġ) Legion mobs do not drop useless weapon BoEs, whereas BFA mobs do. It is recommended that you only farm for your BiS BoE greens in Legion zones, and not BFA zones. If you already read the entire thing, you can skip to the next section. I want to go over a couple things I mentioned in the comprehensive guide. As previously, I wish to give a lot of credit to who is the person I find out everything with.Ī decent amount of stats changed following the launch of 9.0.5, and I have updated this guide accordingly. There are three sections, What to Know, What to Do, and Where to Go. This one will be specifically a guide on farming your Bis BoE greens. Hello, it’s Jonnes again – bringing you another guide for level 1 twinks in shadowlands. It also flattens to fit inside a drawer, slide in between the washer and dryer, or sit on a shelf, Goldson points out. They make the task of putting away folded, freshly washed items much easier as she’ll often loop the two handles onto one arm to carry her clean laundry up the stairs. It’s large enough for two loads of laundry, but what really sets the basket apart is its handles. This CleverMade collapsible basket (which comes in a pack of two) is what Goldson uses in her own home for its versatility. Material: Polyester, plastic | Size: 13.25” x 15” x 23” | Design: Collapsible, steel top rim, loops The taller size works well as a hamper and can hold your weekly laundry haul, while the smaller is great for lesser loads or to separate your delicates. (The plastic it’s made out of is durable enough for this, she assures.) Tanner compares this feature to kitchen mixing bowls that nest within one another. It also has the distinction of being stackable even across the two sizes it comes in, as the smaller one will nest on top of the larger one. “This basket is, without a doubt, one of the more beautiful options,” says Tanner. Its laundry basket has the clean lines you’d expect from a Scandinavian maker and comes in a number of pretty pastels (including a peach-sorbet shade) not usually seen in the hamper scene. Material: Plastic | Size: 9.65” x 22.64” x 14.76” and 24.6” x 14.8” x 22.6” | Design: Graphic lines, stackableĭanish design studio Hay is well respected among current and former Strategist staffers (we count ourselves fans of the company’s toaster, storage bins, lamp, and tube light, among other things). If you’re into sorting, Solomon suggests buying one in black and another in white to color-code your lights and darks. (Just note that if you fill it to the very top, it might not close completely and becomes harder to carry.) The fact that the Tower can fold is another plus when your laundry day’s done. I’ve had the chance to try the Tower, and it’s well made - the fabric tote feels sturdy enough that it won’t rip, even if it occasionally overflows. It “stores more laundry than you think it might,” she says. Aesthetically, it’s a hamper “that doesn’t really scream hamper,” Solomon adds, applauding the “sleek, no-nonsense, minimalist” look. Structurally, the hamper features a foldable steel frame and an interior insert at the bottom of the bag to keep the shape when you lug it to the washing machine. Yamazaki’s stellar reputation (its small- space- specific homewares have appeared all across our archives), combined with the smart design of the hamper itself, earned the Tower our “best overall” trophy. Material: Steel, polyester | Size: 25.2” x 11.81” x 14.17” | Design: Collapsible, X-shape folding frame, handles Below, you’ll find recommendations ranging from a Rubbermaid hip-hugger that’s “meant to be flung around” to a handsome (and stackable) Hay basket. So I asked experts - including professional organizers, cleaners, and one Strategist editor - about the laundry baskets and hampers they consider favorites. (It’s also a superior solution to a “ clothes chair.”) The right hamper should hold plenty while still being easy enough to carry, which isn’t the simplest balance to strike - I remember one of mine almost completely falling apart in a dorm-room hallway (I had to drag it back rather inelegantly). It’s a real workhorse, separating the dirty from the clean. But I’d argue that your hamper or laundry basket is just as important as the other essentials you haul to the laundromat (or to your in-house washer and dryer). Here at The Strategist, we’re quite obsessive about our laundry, trying out everything from actress Piper Perabo’s favorite detergent sheets to a no-rinse soap that helps slash annual dry-cleaning bills. Having a productive laundry day comes down to the tools you use. His public defenders played video recorded testimony of Browd, who has health issues that prevented her from coming to court. Trying to overcome the emotional, gruesome and graphic evidence and testimony the prosecution presented over three weeks as it laid out the killings, the defense has spent the first five days of its case trying to show that from the time he was conceived in the womb of a crack-smoking, hard-drinking prostitute he was put on a road that created a killer. For the former Stoneman Douglas student to received a death sentence, the jury must be unanimous. A seven-man, five-woman jury will decide whether he is sentenced to death or life without parole. Previous testimony showed that Nikolas Cruz did not get grief counseling until four years after the 2004 death.Ĭruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to murdering 14 students and three staff members at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. Lynda Cruz rushed into the den and found her husband had succumbed to a heart attack on the couch. “As clear as sunshine he said, ‘No, Daddy is dead,’” Browd said she was told by his mother. Lynda Cruz asked her son if he was upset because his father had yelled at him. Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz’s attorneys presented more testimony Monday that the mass killer exhibited violent, disruptive and troubled behavior from his earliest years and, just before his sixth birthday, witnessed his adoptive father’s sudden death.įinai Browd, a close friend of Cruz’s late adoptive mother Lynda, said she was told Roger Cruz had been in the family’s den with Nikolas and his younger brother Zachary when he came running and crying past the kitchen where his mother was making lunch. He had been assigned to special education since kindergarten after being diagnosed with emotional and developmental problems and a speech disability.FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. “He couldn’t stand up for himself,” Rodriguez said. Lynn Rodriguez said that when she taught Cruz in 20, he had difficulty staying on task and was “very small” for his age, leading to him being bullied at school, on the bus and by his younger brother at home. Lynda Cruz died of pneumonia four months before the shootings.īefore Browd’s testimony was played, his third and fourth grade special education teacher testified that he was a sad and sometimes violent and disruptive student who didn’t make friends with his classmates. So after three weeks, Lynda Cruz traded in the BMW for another van, Browd said. For example, Lynda and Roger Cruz traded in the family’s van for a BMW SUV when their oldest son was 4, but he didn’t like it because he couldn’t stand up and move like he could in the van. She said his mother didn’t set boundaries for him. Ĭruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to murdering 14 students and three staff members at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. When she asked if his father had yelled at him, he turned and replied, “No, Daddy is dead.” He didn't get grief counseling for four years. She said Cruz ran past his mother crying. Browd, a close friend of Cruz's late adoptive mother Lynda, testified Monday that Cruz was almost 6 when his father died of a heart attack at the family home. Finai Browd is shown on a courtroom monitor during her videotaped testimony during the penalty phase of the trial of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter Nikolas Cruz at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale on Monday. The Other, then, is a Liar and a Manipulator. ‘I’ve had success calling on him in the past,’ he finished. I’ve had success calling on him for aid in other rituals, notably for …’ He stopped abruptly and for a brief moment looked confused. The Other believes that there is a Great and Secret Knowledge hidden somewhere in the World that will grant us enormous powers once we have discovered it. The Other, in the Story we are told here, is both and neither: And like all those Stories we've loved and suffered through as we grew into our best selves (which, of course, we all have done like Piranesi has done), there must be An Other. Not some run-of-the-mill novel, a Story, a myth made of sterner Stuff than a mere jeu d'esprit destined for an hour's-worth of pale pleasure. Tumnus? We're in a Story, laddies and gentlewomen, make no mistake about it. I dreamt of him once he was standing in a snowy forest and speaking to a female child.Ĭould a clearer note be sounded to hark back to Lucy Pevensie and Mr. The headiest are the moments we see the Drowned Halls and the Western Halls, the latter with their Statue of a Faun: The glorious visuals of this book are like eating Sachertorte In the Drowned Halls our resourceful cicerone catches fish in the Coral Halls, among other places, he finds colonies of mussels, and immense floats of seaweed so the House feeds him at a most modest expenditure of energy and effort. Life is exactly what Piranesi derives from the House. The Beautiful Orderliness of the House is what gives us Life. The enormity of this task sometimes makes me feel a little dizzy, but as a scientist and an explorer I have a duty to bear witness to the Splendours of the World. The Worldhouse is Piranesi's Place of Worship and Study, and is as close to infinite as Piranesi can conceive. My attention could wander among All the Capital letters, looking for Discrete meaning where there is general background clutter, furniture for The House. Indeed, I found it so simple, so direct, that I suspected a trap was being laid for me. Norrell, this feels similar enough to make the initial impression one of either familiar immersion in warm water or an icy-cold dash of horrified repulsion and fear and desire to escape. My Review: When you begin this voyage into the unknown, you're lulled into a sense of Rightness by this author's almost-familiar archaic language.if one has read Jonathan Strange and Mr. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.įor readers of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Piranesi introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds. There is one other person in the house-a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But Piranesi is not afraid he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. Piranesi's house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. The Publisher Says: From the New York Times bestselling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an intoxicating, hypnotic new novel set in a dreamlike alternative reality.

In addition to these add-ons, there’s also a different type of option, called a mesh Wi-Fi system. Once set up, both create secondary networks - for example, your original “Network” becomes “Network1” - and your devices can automatically access whichever signal is stronger. These Wi-Fi boosters may be simple desktop accessories or plug directly into outlets. There are 2 different types of simple home devices that can help improve your network’s Wi-Fi strength and both - a Wi-Fi extender and a Wi-Fi repeater - are often referred to as Wi-Fi boosters. An open shelf with no obstructions - and no other electronics around - is best. If you can, resist the urge to tuck the Wi-Fi router inside a closed cabinet, and instead find a spot in the center of your home for it. Tweaking the location of your Wi-Fi router is one way to help improve signal strength. In addition, make sure that the device’s software is current many times software updates will correct functional issues and boost security. If the physical router itself is very old, contact your internet service provider about an upgrade. Like any piece of tech, a Wi-Fi router may be out of date - both the software and the hardware. Check your Wi-Fi router settings and placement. But for a long-term fix, it’s worth it to check whether your Wi-Fi router is placed correctly or whether you can supplement the signal with a Wi-Fi booster. In a pinch, you can temporarily create a hotspot with your mobile phone to supplement your Wi-Fi. The signal gets weaker the longer the distance between you and the Wi-Fi router or the more physical obstacles - such as a corner or a brick wall - between your device and the router. To access it, you need a Wi-Fi router, which distributes a signal to your computer, printer, phone, tablet and any other device and creates a network. Wi-Fi lets you use your smartphone to send or receive information on your home network rather than on your mobile data plan. Think of Wi-Fi as a bridge between your devices and the internet. Several things can impact your Wi-Fi signal. Luckily, through better Wi-Fi router placement or tech such as a Wi-Fi extender or Wi-Fi booster, you can easily enhance your internet strength. Do you have a spot in your home such as a bedroom or out on the deck where it’s just harder to get a reliable Wi-Fi signal? You’re not alone.

Shipping costs and time are what have driven Amazon to choose drones for a faster delivery, low costs, low emissions, and happy customers. In July of this year, Clarkson and fellow ex-Top Gear co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May signed a three-series deal to make a motoring show for Amazon, worth a reported £160m. We believe the airspace is safest when small drones are separated from most manned aircraft traffic, and where airspace access is determined by capabilities. How will Amazon integrate Prime Air vehicles into the airspace? We are testing the vehicles in multiple international locations. Just Google Amazon Prime Air Drone video with Jeremy Clarkson to see for yourself this. Jeremy Clarkson introduces Amazon Prime Air drone delivery Loaded Progress 0:00 / 2:16 Video: Amazon reinstates FedEx Ground delivery as an option for third-party vendors after briefly. We have Prime Air development centres in the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel. Back in 2013, when Amazon revealed plans to begin delivering. The look and characteristics of the vehicles will evolve over time. We have more than a dozen prototypes that we’ve developed in our research and development labs. Amazon has employed ex-Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson for yet another ad, this time to give us a look at the latest evolution of its upcoming Prime Air Jeremy Clarkson Shows Off Amazon’s Prime. Amazon has demonstrated its service for unmanned drone delivery, Amazon Prime Air, in a new video featuring footage of the drone in action and narrated by former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson. Amazon is back with its latest vision for its Prime Air drone delivery system and this time the company has brought its high-profile celebrity, TV show host and gearhead Jeremy. We are testing many different vehicle designs and delivery mechanisms to discover how best to deliver packages in a variety of environments. Amazon, as well as Google and several other companies, were recently part of an FAA task force to figure out drone registration rules.Ĭlarkson further adds that this new drone can fly for 15 miles straight, has automatic “sense and avoid” systems, and will be the first in a “whole family of Amazon drones, different designs for different environments.” The drone appears to fly autonomously or beyond the line of sight of a pilot, which is currently against FAA rules for commercial drones but is likely to change with future legislation.What will the Prime Air delivery vehicles look like? This friendliness with aerial regulation is new for Amazon earlier this year, the company sparred with the FAA over delivery regulations. Federal Aviation Administration says is the upper limit for hobby aircraft, including drones. That altitude is no coincidence, as it’s what the U.S. Clarkson points out the new Amazon delivery drone rises vertically like a helicopter “to nearly 400 feet” before switching to horizontal flight orientation, “streamlined and fast,” like an airplane.
