On these levels, it is good to have a plan of what you are going to do before you start them. Getting Gold: Some levels have little to no time for error to get gold. Then figure out your strategy for the level, and simply start over. Sometimes you can purchase items and don’t have to buy the animals to make them. I’ve found it very helpful when I start a level to take a good first look at everything I have, don’t have, and can purchase. Even if there are no money goals, this can slow your production by a few seconds on some levels. There are very few levels that you can achieve gold if an animal is missing, or you have to buy again. Starting a Level Over for Gold: Whenever an orangutan tosses an animal, simply restart the level. The extra few seconds may be the difference between silver and gold on some levels. For each level that needs animals purchased right away, I’ve found it easiest to buy the animals first, and then water the grass. Fit watering the grass in as you are comfortable with the “Farm Frenzy rhythm” for each level. If I have not specified watering the grass in the instructions, be sure to water the grass as needed to keep your animals alive. The orangutans usually come down near the top and left of the grass area. This will keep your animals away from the orangutans, for the most part. Technique for Watering the Grass: When watering the grass, be sure to place the grass patches low on the screen, right on top of the warehouse and to the right of the grass area. In general, keep the vehicle going back and forth with as full a load as possible for the maximum profit, while still getting the orangutans out of the warehouse. Then sell the orangutans as you have room on the vehicle. For example, cakes are worth $200 each, and cookies are worth $100 each, so I would sell the cakes first. My own “rule of thumb” is to send the products in descending order by how much they are worth. Selling Products: Whenever you send the vehicle to sell your products, you want to look to see how much money you will need, and secondly, how full is your warehouse. If they do get the bamboo, be sure to replace it as quickly as possible. The orangutans, however, can delete the bamboo if they run over it or land on it, so try to capture orangutans before they get your bamboo. The elephants will eat the bamboo when they need it. When it arrives, it will be placed randomly on the farm area. You buy the bamboo from the store on the plane. At any time you have elephants and animals, be sure to have bamboo for the elephants, and don’t forget to water the grass for the animals. The upgrades improve time.Įlephants, Bamboo, and Animals: This game introduces the elephants, which eat bamboo, rather than grass. When I indicate upgrading the factories in the walkthrough, upgrade them regardless of whether they are currently producing or how many of the item you are producing. Even though you may only have enough raw products to produce two items, upgrading the factory to be able to produce 3, 4, or 5 of the item will improve the production time of the two items. Upgrading the factories makes them produce at a faster rate. This is sometimes crucial and can save you a second or two that you need to make gold. Generalĭuring game play, you can upgrade the factories even while they are making product. This walkthrough includes tips and tricks, helpful hints, and a strategy guide to how to complete Farm Frenzy 3: Madagascar.

You are provided with two default views for opened Binder documents: Corkboard and Outline, both of which are powerful and concise and provide you with an instant bird’s-eye-view of where your project is going.īut that’s not where this app truly shines. You can create as many folders as you wish, and while you feel a little lost at first, you quickly get used to the freedom. The left pane is called the Binder, and its structure is entirely up to you. You can install the extras package and work from there, but it still feels like a far cry from the beautiful simplicity of Storymill.īut that’s only until you realize the power of Scene-by-scene synopses and the sheer amount of side notes, research links, tags and info you can cram around your document. There were too many panes, too much info on the screen and no sign of templates, or steps to achieve a basic novel structure. After meddling with the very simple-to-use Storyist and Storymill, I felt more than a little overwhelmed with the huge amount of options and freedom inherent in Scrivener’s design. I’ll go right ahead and admit that my first experience with Scrivener wasn’t a happy one. Placing events on the timeline itself is also a bit of a chore, as it doesn’t behave the way you’d expect events tend to jump, and aligning on the grid is difficult. Frustrating, and there seems to be no fix in sight. Having set the timeline to Hourly or Daily to get that important, detailed scene just right, you then have to scroll left-to-right all the way to infinity to set the rest of your action. Most stories will partly happen in real time, partly in flashback, memories and long, uneventful stretches of passing time. There is no way to properly manage different timeframes if you set it to display hours, you’ll have hours until the end of your manuscript, which to me seems absolutely useless. Perhaps this is why I moved away from StoryMill altogether while it’s a very nicely designed piece of software overall, the Timeline has always been a frustrating issue for me. It’s a nice compromise between structure and freedom, and it’ll do for most writers.Īgain, this one is strongly geared towards fiction, perhaps even more so than Storyist, with the addition of the Timeline feature which is heavily advertised as its strong point. The sidebar pane is more visually pleasing, but mostly serves the same purpose as Storyist’s you get default panes for Characters, Locations and Research, and the rest is handled via folders and smart views. Fullscreen support is marginally better than Storyist, but only because it’s been implemented longer. The app itself is gorgeous and streamlined, and the interface simply makes you want to sit and write. The team behind StoryMill is much bigger, and mostly this shows in the overall finish and polish that went into its development. Storyist, from Storyist SoftwareĪfter experimenting with Storyist, I moved on to StoryMill, from Mariner Software, the makers of MacJournal and MacGourmet, two very good database-driven applications for OS X. I didn’t include general writing software, like Apple’s Pages or OpenOffice this list is really geared toward organized writing, software that both lets you plan and write from start to finish. Here’s a quick rundown of the most popular ones and their main features. Some of those target fiction writers more than others. There are so many choices now to replace default apps that it can get pretty confusing to find the right tool.īrowsing for writing software is also becoming quite confusing there are now a number of very nicely designed apps that can help you finish or start your projects. With the rising popularity of the Mac OS platform, a number of small developers and software companies have found niche markets for themselves the Getting Things Done crowd, the Tweaking freaks, the App Launchers all have their own list of best-of software titles and nifty little apps.

These include drinking enough water and eating foods rich in fiber and minerals.Ĭlick here for more tips on how to stay safe while following the keto diet. Summary: There are a few ways to minimize the negative symptoms of ketosis. Eat fiber-rich foods like nuts, seeds, berries, and low carb veggies ( 7). Ketosis typically starts when your carb intake is less than 50 grams a day. This might help you reduce your carbs to a moderate amount before moving onto a ketogenic (very low carb) diet. Stick to moderate levels of exercise in the first week or two. Foods high in magnesium and potassium may help relieve leg cramps. Ask your doctor if you should be adding salt to your food. The body excretes sodium in large amounts when carb intake is low. A significant amount of weight lost in ketosis is water, especially in the beginning. Consume at least 68 ounces (2 liters) of water a day. Here’s how to minimize the potential side effects of ketosis: Summary: Less common side effects include kidney stones high cholesterol levels. disorders that affect the way their body processes fat.The keto diet is not suitable for people with a number of conditions, including: Some of the negative effects, such as dehydration and low blood sugar can lead to emergency room visits ( 7). If you use medications to manage your blood sugar levels, speak to a doctor before starting the diet, as they may need to adjust the dose. This can develop if you follow the diet for a long time. Some people get increased total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels ( 17, 18, 19). Experts recommend regular kidney function monitoring while following the diet. Although uncommon, some children with epilepsy have developed kidney stones on a ketogenic diet. A few cases of ketoacidosis (a serious condition that occurs in diabetes when it’s not properly managed) have been reported in breastfeeding women, likely triggered by a very low carb diet. Other, less common side effects may include: Duncan is a manufacturer of yo-yos I was thinking of cake frosting at first. clued YO-YO MA CHER – I had to look up what a macher is, as I’m far from fluent in Yiddish.Another movie, “Star Wars,” was the base phrase here. clued STAR CHER WARS – I like the reference to “heated” in the clue as “starchers” are likely heating the linens they are ironing.was a THE MONEY PIT CHER – “The Money Pit” is a movie starring Tom Hanks I think.clued GREEN TEA CHER – I would think “greens” sounds a bit more natural for what a putting pro is teaching–perhaps a reference to Sesame Street’s Kermit the Frog might’ve worked better as a clue? “Green tea” is the base phrase here.NEIGHBORLY HORSE, anyone? Instead, it’s the singer inside the baby-talk “moo-cow.” was a MOO CHER COW – when this fell, I was thinking the theme might be made-up phrases that begin with the sound the animal at the end of the phrase makes.This song is the inspiration for Tony Orbach’s CrosSynergy puzzle today the “babe” in this case is the singer CHER added to five theme phrases to comic effect:ĬrosSynergy / Washington Post crossword solution – 01/20/14 Updated Monday morning: Tony Orbach’s CrosSynergy / Washington Post crossword, “I Got You Babe” – Dave Sullivan’s review Did not know MIKA Brzezinski of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, but it was simple enough to get from the crossings.Īs per most Mondays, nothing remarkably spiffy or zingy enough to get really KEEN (34a) over, so basically an average puzzle here.In this light, I deem the clue to be unintentionally ambiguous, but by definition not in a clever or playful manner as such it’s far too tricky for a Monday offering. But as I was writing, I realized that it must refer to the constituent recorded tracks ( e.g., vocals, bass, keyboards, et cetera) for a particular song (or track, if you will). Was going to decry this clue on the grounds of seeming as if it wants “sequencing” ( nb: not electronic music sequencing), as in the arrangement of the songs on a recording such as a record, or album. Even though it isn’t a particularly unusual demonymic suffix, it somehow has a whiff of gimmick to it. Not so thrilled about both IRANI and OMANI in the same grid, even if their locations are symmetrical.Clue with cleverness apt to be missed: 60d is a DEAN, who sort of advises the entire college.16a APIA, 12d PIAGET (though their products are advertised quite a bit in the New York Times), 46a EPOS, 68a ARNE, perhaps even 22a BEDE.Īppreciated the theme-sympathetic vibe of the answer to 29d TAKE A STAND, though its symmetrical PAIRING( S) (21a) of UP IN THE AIR (11d) strikes a depressingly cynical tone in that perceived context. Frans HALS at 1d was a gimme for me, but might be a bit daunting, especially early in the grid. The other thought I had, in fact the main one, while solving is that there is too much fill that seems out of the Monday 59d AREA. Especially with that rarely-seen version of his monogram + generational suffix. WE ARE FREE AT LAST.ĭespite the ostensible cohesion of these main entries, centering on the famous speech delivered 50 years ago this past August, the theme still has a bit of a grab-bag feel to me. Timed for the federal holiday, the third Monday of the month, though the actual date of his birth is the 15th (way back on Wednesday). In its 2021 State of Ransomware Preparedness report, Axio reveals that organizations are not adequately equipped to defend against ransomware attacks. Windows, macOS, LinuxBSD, iOS, and Android are the most popular.Ransomware reports signal lack of preparedness and willingness to pay It’s interesting to note as well that for both mobile and desktop platforms, Zerodium offers payments for any operating system. Zerodium announced a temporary boost in payouts for Chrome vulnerabilities earlier this year and offered $1,000,000 for remote code execution (RCE) and sandbox escape exploit (SBX). Only a limited number of government clients have access to obtained zero-day research, according to the firm, which is guided by ethics and picks customers based on stringent criteria and screening processes. Government institutions, especially from Europe and North America, who require advanced zero-day vulnerabilities and cybersecurity skills make up Zerodium’s customer base. The rationale for the exploit broker’s disclosure is unknown, but one possibility is that government customers want a means to detect cybercrime hidden behind VPN services. Why Does Zerodium Want the Zero-Day Exploits? The vulnerabilities targeting Windows clients for NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and SurfShark VPN services are of special relevance to Zerodium at the moment, as the vulnerability broker announced.Īs reported by BleepingComputer , Zerodium is looking for problems that might expose information about users, their IP addresses, and vulnerabilities that could be exploited to execute malware remotely, but local privilege escalation is one sort of vulnerability that the broker does not want. Vulnerabilities generate security gaps that hackers can exploit if they are not fixed.īy routing your internet connection through the provider’s servers, VPN services allow you to disguise your IP address when accessing resources on the internet, as this type of routing makes it more difficult for third parties to trace your online activities, in this way improving your internet privacy. Unintentional flaws, as well as programming mistakes in software programs or operating systems, can lead to vulnerabilities. Local privilege escalation is out of scope.Īs my colleague, Cezarina, thoroughly explains, a zero-day exploit refers to the method used by attackers to infiltrate and deploy the malware into a system. We’re looking for #0day exploits affecting VPN software for Windows:Įxploit types: information disclosure, IP address leak, or remote code execution. Zerodium stated today in a brief tweet that it is looking to buy zero-day exploits for vulnerabilities in three prominent virtual private networks (VPN) service providers.

Additionally, some Warrior gamers are actually searching for further sources of spell injury from low-level sources, that they may use to realize elevated Deep Wounds injury. Because of how Deep Wounds works, this benefit would proceed to develop as Warriors acquire higher gear with extra Critical Strike Rating. Deep Wounds was by no means meant to profit from these enchantments. This discovery has resulted in gamers altering their enchantments on weapons to low-level enchantments that do not do a lot injury, however can set off Deep Wounds and acquire a big injury improve over meant degree 70-80 enchantments. Prior to Wrath, Warriors didn’t get elevated spell crucial probability from their gear.

The company's retail stores also have yet to begin stocking the new machines, although some (mainly in the United States) do have models on display for customers to test out. The Retina MacBook is in very short supply following its launch last Friday, with all stock and custom configurations currently listed as shipping in 4-6 weeks from Apple's online store. The high-end custom MacBook takes advantage of the 5Y71 chip that is designed to run at 1.2 GHz, and Apple has similarly bumped this one by 100 MHz to run at 1.3 GHz. The mid-range MacBook uses the 5Y51 chip, which defaults to 1.1 GHz but which Apple has bumped by 100 MHz to run at 1.2 GHz. The low-end MacBook uses a 5Y31 chip that runs by default at 900 MHz but which supports overclocking to 1.1 GHz at the cost of bumping power consumption from 4.5 watts to 6 watts, and Apple has elected to use the faster speeds to improve performance. The chips offer extremely low power usage, but Apple is slightly overclocking these chips for higher performance. We have, however, yet to see any Geekbench results for these chips, and shipping estimates for machines with these chips were at 3-4 weeks when Apple began taking orders on Friday, suggesting it may yet be some time before we see data on their performance.Īpple is taking advantage of Intel's latest "Core M" Broadwell chips for the new Retina MacBook. In addition to the 1.1 GHz and 1.2 GHz chip options, Apple is also offering a 1.3 GHz processor as a build-to-order option. These scores for the 1.2 GHz Retina MacBook are roughly in the same range as the low-end models of the previous-generation Early 2014 MacBook Air, despite the much lower power consumption that has enabled Apple to build an ultra-thin fanless design. Multi-core performance in particular seems to be seeing a nice bump with the faster chip. That performance compares to roughly 2400/4450 for the 1.1 GHz model, meaning that the mid-range model seems to be showing performance improvements at least in line with the 9 percent increase in CPU frequency. It will take a little while for Geekbench results to firm up as the machines work through their early housekeeping tasks, but the best results we're seeing so far for the 1.2 GHz model are approaching 2600 on 64-bit single-core tests and over 5300 on multi-core tests. With the machines now available for purchase, we're starting to see Geekbench results for the mid-range 1.2 GHz processor, revealing a significant performance boost over the low-end chip for multi-core benchmarks, but less so for single-core testing. The performance differences and the price differences between the processors are roughly equivalent.Ahead of last Friday's launch of the new Retina MacBook, we saw several early benchmarks for the entry-level notebook running a 1.1 GHz Intel Core M processor, putting CPU performance for the new machine roughly on par with the 2011 MacBook Air according to Geekbench. I have no recommendations regarding the processor for the new MacBook Pro. These sorts of increases are in line with what I would expect from a "Tick" processor. Multi-core performance has increased 3% to 6%. Single-core performance has increased between 3% to 7% from Haswell to Broadwell, depending on the model. It has 20% faster single-core performance and 25% faster multi-core performance for only a 15% increase in price. If you're thinking of buying the new MacBook Air I would strongly recommend the i7 processor. However, quite surprisingly, multi-core performance for the i7 model has increased an impressive 14%. Single-core performance has increased 6% from Haswell to Broadwell, and multi-core performance for the i5 model has increased 7%. As a result I do not expect the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro scores to increase significantly. Generally speaking "Tick" processors improve efficiency while "Tock" processors improve performance. Keep in mind that Broadwell is a "Tick" in Intel's "Tick Tock" model. I've generated some charts that compare the new Broadwell-powered laptops with their Haswell- and Ivy Bridge-powered predecessors. Geekbench 3 results for the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models have arrived on the Geekbench Browser. |
