We are purists and play by the original rules, but I decided to put this on the website because it is one of the most common questions I get asked. So if you roll 4 3’s, you get 600 rather than 300. Other ways of playing: While the original rules didn’t allow this, many electronic versions of the game now play with the following rule: If you roll 4 of a kind, your score doubles. Special Rule: If a Farkle is rolled when rolling all six dice at once, it is termed a “ six-die Farkle.” When this occurs all players must throw their hands in the air, wiggle back and forth and sing “ SIX-DIE FARKLE.” Any player refusing to follow this very important rule loses one point and can’t have any Tostitos® Chips and salsa. But, at least one point die must be set aside after each roll. This may give you a better chance of rolling a three of a kind. If you roll a 1 and a 5, sometimes it may be strategic to keep the 1 and roll the 5 again with the rest of the non-point dice. Secret Strategy: All point dice do not have to be set aside. Sometimes it might take many turns before a player can get on the board. Once the player officially enters the game, the points are recorded and that player may stop rolling at any time during future turns. In order for a player to initially enter the game, (record points on the scratch paper), he/she/it must continue to roll until at least 1,000 points are collected during one turn. If, in the course of one turn, all six dice become point dice and are set aside, the player must roll all six dice at least one more time, before stopping and keeping the points collected. At this point the player may eat some Tostitos® Chips and salsa. Any points collected during that turn are then recorded on the scratch paper. If a player decides not to risk rolling a Farkle then he/she/it can stop rolling and the play passes to the player to the left. No points are recorded on the scratch paper. At this point the player loses all the point dice he/she/it has collected during that turn, and the play passes to the player to the left. At this point, the player has the option to continue to roll the remaining dice to collect even more points, or stop and keep any points acquired.Ī Farkle occurs when the dice are rolled and no point dice appear. The first player rolls all six dice at the same time and sets aside any “point dice” (1’s, 5’s, or three of a kind) that appear. One exception to this rule is that three 1’s rolled is 1,000 points rather than 100 points. Three (3) dice rolled at the same time with the same value is worth 100 times the face value, for example: three 2’s rolled is 200 points and three 5’s rolled is 500 points.Points are acquired one of three different ways. Sit around the selected flat surface, write the names of each player on the scratch paper with the pencil (or pen), open Tostitos® chips and salsa, & grasp dice in closed fist. To acquire points by a systematic rolling of the dice. Anymore than that, and it’s just way too long before you get to roll the dice again, let alone the size of the room you’d need. Tostitos® Chips and salsa (You got Tostitos®, You got a Party!)Īnywhere between 2 and 86 players may play in one game.A flat surface (preferably larger than a Deck of Playing Cards ).Scratch Paper (or if you really wanted to, you could use official Farkle Score Sheets ).Back in the Early 13th Century, after having many daughters, Sir Anthony XVIII of Wasack finally had a son, but Sir Anthony begrudged the tradition of naming sons after their fathers, (after all he was the 18th in a long line of Anthony’s of Wasack) so he decided to break the tradition, but he couldn’t think of a suitable name for his new son so his son went nameless for about a year when, while playing with his favorite toy, a set of wooden dice, he spoke his first word, which was the word “farkle”, and in commemoration of this great event, Sir Anthony the XVIII of Wasack, decided to give his son this unique name while he was on the earth, speaking of earth, that is where Dacy and Amy found the ancient manuscript with the official rules of the unique game of Farkle, which was the game that Sir Farkle I of Wasack invented. Farkle goes back a long way and it would take a few pages to relate the whole history, so we will try to sum it up in one sentence.

Investigators also suggested further research on how ABO status may moderate venous thromboembolism occurrence, a known complication of COVID-19, since blood group O patients have been associated with a decreased risk of venous thromboembolism in prior research. “Furthermore, among ongoing clinical trials of immunotherapy using convalescent plasma or of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, the interaction between participant blood groups and therapeutic efficacy could be measured.” “Studies of the accuracy of serologic tests for anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulins may assess whether there is variation in antibody titers by ABO and Rh status,” the authors noted. The O- blood group did not appear protective against severe COVID-19 illness and death (aRR, 0.84 95% CI, 0.64-1.07) compared with other blood groups. Secondary outcome results indicated that type O blood group had an aRR of 0.87 (95% CI, 0.78-0.97) for severe COVID-19 illness and death versus all other blood groups and Rh- status had an aRR of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.68–0.96) compared to Rh+ status. The relative protective effects of O, Rh-, and O- blood groups were greatest in patients younger than age 70. Results also indicated the aRR for SARS-CoV-2 infection was higher in patients with AB blood type compared with type A. Comparatively, the highest unadjusted probability of SARS-CoV-2 infection was in the B+ blood group (4.2% 95% CI, 4.0-4.5%). The aRR for SARS-CoV-2 infection in the O blood group was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.84-0.92) vs all other blood groups, and the ARD was -3.9 per 1,000 (95% CI, -5.4 to -2.5). The O- blood group had a 2.1% chance of getting SARS-CoV-2 infection (95% CI, 1.8-2.3%), the lowest unadjusted probability of all blood groups. For the primary outcome, analyses were further stratified by patients aged younger than 70 years vs 70 years or older. Adjusted relative risks (aRRs) and absolute risk differences (ARDs) were adjusted for demographic characteristics and comorbidities. The secondary outcome was severe COVID-19 illness or death. The study’s primary outcome was SARS-CoV-2 infection. Common comorbidities included preexisting cardiac disease (13-15%), chronic kidney disease (11%), anemia (21%), cancer (27-29%), dementia or frailty (33-38%), diabetes mellitus (21%), asthma (18-21%), and chronic hypertension (39-41%). The mean age was 53.8 years and 29% were men. Investigators conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study of 225,556 patients who had their ABO blood group assessed between January 2007 and December 2019, and subsequently tested for SARS-CoV-2 between January 15 and June 30, 2020. Interested in finding out what blood type you are?ĭon’t know your blood type? We’ll test your blood when you donate and let you know your type.Patients with type O and rhesus negative (Rh-) blood groups may have a lower risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) illness, according to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. While having O negative blood makes you a universal blood donor, it also means that if you need blood, you can only be transfused with O negative blood. Not only will you help save lives, but you’ll also ensure there’s a good supply of O negative available should you need blood. If you have O negative blood and are able to donate, we encourage you to do so. What does this mean for those with O negative blood? O negative blood may not be the rarest blood type, but may be critical to a victim’s survival in an emergency. When trauma victims need urgent treatment, there is seldom time to test their blood type, so O negative blood is used. In addition, emergency services, including ambulances and helicopters, may also carry it to keep patients alive while they’re being transported to a hospital. Hospitals need to have it on hand for emergencies. O negative blood is valuable because it can be transfused to anyone, regardless of their blood type. If O negative isn’t that rare, why do blood centers and hospitals always need it? Fewer than 50 people in the entire world population are known to have Rh-null blood. However, the rarest blood type in the world is Rh-null, which is so rare most of us have never heard of it. Is that rare? Only about 1 in 67 have B negative blood, making it rarer. Or to put it another way, about 1 in 15 people have O negative blood. If you have 0 negative blood, you have something in common with about 7 percent of the US population. People with O negative blood often wonder how rare their blood is since it is always in demand by hospitals and blood centers. He requested to be crucified upside down as he was not worthy to die the same way as Jesus. Peter died a martyr by crucifixion around 64 A.D. It is also said that Peter is the rock and foundation of the Church with Jesus as the Church’s cornerstone (Matthew 16:18). It is said that Peter did his missionary and evangelistic work as far as Babylon. The Gospel of Mark records Peter’s account of Jesus’ ministry through Mark the Evangelist, his companion, who is widely believed to be John Mark. Other than that, he also plays a major role in the gospels. He was the author of two books in the Bible, 1 Peter and 2 Peter. Peter is one of the most prominent leaders of the early church. Despite how many times he failed and fallen, he recovered his courage and integrity to boldly preach the good news. Although he denied Jesus three times after Jesus’ arrest, Peter redeemed himself after the resurrection. But, he was the natural leader and served as the spokesman among the 12 disciples. In the Bible, Peter was an impetuous man, He was emotional, always spoke whatever was on his mind, and impulsive. Peter was originally known as Simon, but Jesus gave him a nickname of Cephas, which translates to Peter, meaning “rock”. Interestingly, he is also the only married disciple (Luke 4:38). He was part of Jesus’ inner circle, one of the 12 disciples. One of the 12 Disciples, Simon Peter, son of Jonas, was a fisherman by trade who lived in Bethsaida and Capernaum. We can deepen our relationship with God and be better modern-day disciples of Jesus Christ. Let their life stories serve as an inspiration for us to grow our faith. Get to know more about the lives of Jesus’ 12 Disciples as we share all the things you should know about them. However, they also faced various persecutions along the process. These 12 disciples worked hard to serve other people and testify the good news. Jesus gave these 12 disciples a special authority and a sacred mission to accomplish (Matthew 28:16-20). He trained them for three years to become leaders who would later continue the work he started. He called them to be fishers of men, future missionaries. Despite the disciples’ backgrounds and professions, Jesus saw their potential. They were there to witness the completion of what was prophesized decades before the birth of Jesus. While with Jesus, they learned from him and helped him to fulfill his mission here, on earth. They played a major role in ministering to the people during Jesus’ time on earth, and after his ascension. The 12 Disciples also known as the 12 Apostles, served as the foundation of the first Church. Crazy huh?ĭespite all this, the ridiculousness of Metal Slug conceals a deviously addictive and insanely difficult game. If those aren't odd enough, you can also ride camels, ostriches and donkeys and wield weapons as banal as the 'Heavy Machine Gun' or as laughable as the 'Iron Lizard'- a tiny anthropomorphic rocket with wheels that falls to the ground and smiles as it rushes toward enemies. The titular 'Metal Slug' is in fact a strangely agile vehicle that takes many forms- originally a standard tank, 'Slugs' that fly, venture underwater, and walk are all available to ride. MS3, for example, often cited as the high point of the series, featured zombies, mutant crabs and ultimately battle inside an alien mothership. While Morden was set to remain an antagonist in most of the games, they gradually branched out in more bizarre directions. MS1 saw Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving battle the evil army of General Morden- the links between whom and a certain German authoritarian could be drawn by any grade school flunkee. In the beginning, the series was something of a quircky shooter set in a World War II-esque scenario. I wish I could leave it at that, but unfortunately this collection is marred by issues all its own and, overall, is ultimately a disappointment. So how does this title, only just released in Europe and yet to hit US and Australasian shores, fare? Well, if you are worried that the PSP version maybe plagued by the same errors as its Wii counterpart, or because Metal Slug, a 2D game, may not have aged gracefully over the last 10 years, don't be. When the collection was released last December for the Nintendo Wii, however, the ports were compromised by everything for graphical errors to downsampled or nonexistent sound effects. It contains the first version to be released outside Japan of Metal Slug 6, the series' latest entry, originally developed for the more powerful Atomiswave platform. Although numerous (10, no joke) delays caused the game to overshoot this milestone, it makes up for it with an extra draw. Metal Slug Anthology (MSA) assembles the 6 NeoGeo Metal Slug games (1,2,X,3,4&5) for the first time on one disc to mark the series 10th anniversary in 2006. While one of the later franchises established for the system, the Metal Slug series has as great a following as the aforementioned titles due to its fast-paced, chaotic gameplay, its charming art-direction and the fact that each installment (at least until Metal Slug 4) pushed the hardware of the NeoGeo to its limits. The original Metal Slug (MS) was a side-scrolling shooter released by SNK in 1996 for its NeoGeo platform, already well known primarily for the fighting games Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting and The King of Fighters. The game also allows the player to cancel super attacks into Desperation Moves adding another strategic element to the game.įinally, the game features a wealth of flashy attacks thanks to the inclusion of Super Secret Skills and Super Desperation Moves.Īrcade Archives Series Produced by HAMSTER Co.System: PlayStation Portable (also PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii)Įmulators: None (Metal Slug 1-5 arcade versions can be played on MAME, FinalBurn Alpha, Kawaks & Nebula) The game also features a unique “Hajiki” ability that allows players to deflect or repel attacks. The “Power” system focuses on high damage while the “Speed” system focuses more on intricate combos and speed. One such system is the ability to choose between “Power” and “Speed” styles when selecting a character. Thematically the game is similar to the “SAMURAI SHODOWN" series, but also features a wealth of innovative systems to set it apart. THE LAST BLADE is a fighting game released by SNK in 1997, set in Japan’s Edo period with a roster of unique swordsmen to choose from.

Your video will be extremely huge. Part 2: GoPro Video Too Large? Shrink the File Size That is to say, according to the 4K video size calculator, 1GB of space allows you to record 2 minutes and 1 second of video in 4K 60FPS on GoPro HERO6 Black. If I record a minute of 4K video at such settings, I will get 60s × 66000 kbps/8=495000KB, namely 495MB, or 0.495GB. Video Size = Length (s) × bitrate (kbps)/8įor example, I set my GoPro HERO 8 Black video recording mode at 4K resolution, 60FPS frame rate, 66Mbps per second (8.25MB/s). Once you know the video length and bit rate, you're able to figure out the final size of your GoPro video based on your recording time. All the mechanisms behind are simple base calculations. Part 1: Calculate Your GoPro Video SizeĬalculating GoPro file size is not something at a calculus level when you go to make good use of this video size calculator. But after all, you may need a video tool to balance the GoPro file size and output quality, as below. You will know how to figure out the GoPro HERO 10/9/8/7/6/5 recording time per GB in different settings later in the text. The GoPro video size calculator certainly comes as the best tool. Thus, before recording, you definitely need to compute the GoPro video size based on your favorite video recording preferences. On the other hand, it matters whether you need to lower the video recording settings to meet a tradeoff between quality and file size. It determines how many hours your HERO 10/9/8/7/6/5 can record in different settings. The GoPro video size has everything to do with the choice of what capacity of microSD card you need to buy. If the GoPro video is too big, you can use a powerful video converter – VideoProc Converter to fast reduce the GoPro video size. Summary: This GoPro video size calculator guide informs how you can calculate a GoPro video file size and the factors that matter most for GoPro video size. Focus on your black objects and take a photo.Set your ISO to 100 or L if it goes lower than 100.Also turn off any in camera noise reduction options.Set your camera to Program mode unless you have a favorite.Make sure there is enough light in your scene.Black fur on your kids’ stuffed animals might hide some noise and so will flecks of fabric in a shirt of the like. I suggest objects without much gloss and as solid a field of black as you can find. On the other end of the table set up your objects.You’re going to want it steady because some of the photos you take might have a slow shutter speed. Set up your camera either on a table or tripod.A variety of objects, with dark and black colors, maybe some shadows too.The experiment to find out the highest ISO you should use, without gaining too much noise beyond your tastes, is quite easy. A higher ISO allows for less light in the same situation, which can result in a faster shutter speed or more optimal aperture setting. The lower the number, the less sensitive, therefore, you need more light to make an exposure. It’s good to have standards otherwise you wouldn’t know how to set your shutter speed and aperture.Ĭarry that concept over to digital and ISO is a measure of the sensitivity of your camera’s sensor. The ISO group sets standards so 100 speed Kodak film is the same as ISO 100 Fuji or Agfa or any other manufacture. Do big, long governmental-style names make you fall asleep? I’ll make this quick.

RetroArch – Introducing the Mega Bezel Reflection ShaderĪrticle written by HyperSpaceMadness RetroArch keeps introducing innovations to the retrogaming world, constantly building simple roads for players to enjoy classic games in new and sometimes better ways. You can also cause havoc around the perimeter of each level once you have been eliminated by firing stun charges at robots still locked in combat. In multiplayer, the title draws inspiration from greats such as Bomberman, with the ability to collect power-ups that have the potential to change an outcome of a match. Despite how quick the rounds are in Rocket Fist, it’s the simple yet engaging qualities of the title that make it so fun. The Switch version of Rocket Fist arguably plays host to the definitive version of the multiplayer because of the system’s design. What’s pleasing is how well the core mechanics and concepts carry across from single to multiplayer. There’s even an easy and hard mode to select from depending on how difficult you are finding the overall experience.Īs satisfying as solo is, the multiplayer is where Rocket Fist really shines. Despite the core goal in Rocket Fist remaining the same, the gameplay manages to remain fresh and challenging thanks to its addictive and fast-paced style. Boss robots are normally the greatest threat, as each one can take more damage, move faster and is often armoured – which is required to be taken out before any real impact can be made. Catching any rocket fists thrown is a quick way to rearm as well. This strategy results in enemy robots dropping their own rocket fist on the ground so you can pick it up and use it against them. Players who find themselves without a rocket fist can always resort to dash-bumping enemies. With one rocket-powered fist enough to end it all, Rocket Fist demands players implement their own tactics in every arena if they hope to survive - be it taking cover behind a barrier, perfectly rebounding shots off a wall in order to hit a target or simply firing first as soon as a match starts. Regardless of this, it will still only normally take a single enemy rocket fist to eliminate your own robot. As you progress further, new enemies with distinctive patterns, techniques and the ability to take more hits - such as spider bots - appear. Each sector in the solo mode is made up of multiple levels and a boss round where you’ll be required to eliminate a number of grunts before taking on the leader. In the single player portion of Rocket Fist, your robot avatar is thrown immediately into the action. Each robot can move, dash, throw and catch. The robots in Rocket Fist have a basic set of actions. The earcups swivel into a comfortable position and have a subtle horizontal tilt that lets them easily rest on your head without causing discomfort.
