‚Taylor Swift effect’ dismissed by TN students Pop star Taylor Swift’s last minute endorsement of Democratic Senate Candidate Phil Bredesen in Tennessee has voters wondering if it can pull him over the finish line for a victory. Students in the state don’t think so. A man who broke into Taylor Swift’s New York City townhouse and took a nap has been sentenced to six months in jail. According to the New York Post’s Page Six, 22-year-old Roger Alvarado, of Homestead, Florida, was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to criminal contempt and attempted burglary. TAYLOR SWIFT WINS $1.08M COMMISSION LAWSUIT AGAINST REAL TOR The outlet says Alvarado plans to return to Florida after his jail stint, which is nearly finished, and serve five years’ probation. He must also complete a mental-health program. Officers found Alvarado asleep in the pop star’s home in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan in April. Police say he had also used her shower. Swift was not home durin...

Share. Can you survive in LifeAfter’s post-apoc doomsday? By IGN STUDIOS Partner Content created for LifeAfter The enduring popularity of zombie stories might say more about us than the zombies themselves. Plagues of undead corpses provide a convenient excuse to indulge in addictive thought experiments. “In a world gone mad, would you survive?” That question is front and center in LifeAfter, a massively-multiplayer Android / iOS survival sim that’s finally being unleashed on the English-speaking world. LifeAfter takes place in a world ravaged by a catastrophic virus. Its origins are mysterious, but its effects are not. It creates countless ravenous, highly-mobile zombies. Civilization all but falls, leaving you and a handful of others to scramble for survival. In true survival sim fashion, you’ll start with just a few tools to harvest whatever resources you can find. You will build your skill-trees by hunting animals, rec over ing materials, and crafting items. Over t...

Back in October of last year, Cooler Master took to Kickstarter to crowdfund a 24-key control pad with built-in Aimpad support for precision control. Now three months later, it’s launched a entire gaming keyboard with pressure-sensitive keys. Cooler Master’s new MK850 (not to be confused with Logitech’s MK850 keyboard and mouse combo) is an analog plank that uses Cherry MX key switches capable of sensing the entire 4mm range of a key press. Traditional mechanical keyboards can’t do this—the switches simply register a press at the actuation point. „The MK850 is the world’s first mechanical keyboard, using Cherry MX switches, capable of sensing exactly how far down you press the key,” says Lance Madsen, Aimpad principle engineer. „It provides unparalleled control in even the most demanding PC games.” Aimpad technology is already found in other peripherals, such as aviation joysticks, steering wheels, and game controllers. By implementing pressure-sensitive input into a keyboard, g...

Το όνομά της προέρχεται από τις λέξεις «τσίκνα», η μυρωδιά δηλαδή του καμένου ψημένου κρέατος και την ημέρα Πέμπτη Λέγεται, ότι επιλέχτηκε η Πέμπτη ως ημέρα κρεατοφαγίας , καθώς παραδοσιακά οι ημέρες νηστείας των Ελληνορθόδοξων είναι η Τετάρτη και η Παρασκευή. Από αυτή την τσίκνα, λοιπόν, έχει πάρει και το όνομά της η Πέμπτη και λέγεται Τσικνοπέμπτη. Η «Τσικνοπέφτη», όπως είναι επίσης γνωστή, ήταν η μέρα που ετοίμαζαν σε παλαιότερες εποχές, το «παστό». Έβραζαν δηλαδή το λίπος με λίγο νερό και το ράντιζαν ταυτόχρονα (με νερό), πριν το σουρώσουν. Μια εβδομάδα πριν από την Τσικνοπέμπτη, ξεκινούσε η διαδικασία της σφαγής των γουρουνιών, τα λεγόμενα «χοιροσφάγια». Την Τσικνοπέμπτη ξεκινούν ουσιαστικά οι εκδηλώσεις της Αποκριάς, οι οποίες κορυφώνονται με τα Κούλουμα την Καθαρά Δευτέρα. Στη σημερινή εποχή, θεωρείται, ότι η Τσικνοπέμπτη είναι η «επίσημη» ημέρα έναρξης της αποκριάτικης περιόδου. Εικάζεται, πως το έθιμο προέρχεται από τις βακχικές γιορτές των αρχαίων Ελλήνων και ...

Share. From Game of Thrones to animated mechs… By David Griffin Digital streaming network Rooster Teeth’s ambitious new animated sci-fi series titled gen:LOCK, features an impressive roster of voice actors like Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther), Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), and David Tennant (Doctor Who). Set 50 years in the future, the series centers on a courageous team capable of controlling powerful mecha in a fight against an oppressive authoritarian force. Williams portrays Cammie MacCloud, a new recruit who attempts gen:LOCK, which allows her mind to be uploaded into one of the giant mech suits. The Game of Thrones actress spoke with IGN about what initially attracted her to the project. „I thought Cammie was so interesting,” Williams explained, adding „and I thought that I could have a lot of fun playing her. I felt like I could bring her to life, and do her justice. So I was flattered that they wanted me to be a part of it.” In order to show Williams who she ...

Xiaomi’s MIUI 10 beta program isn’t the most action-packed software update program out there mainly because the company hardly includes new features in the weekly updates it pushes out. However, the story is quite different with the latest MIUI 10 beta 9.2.28 , whose changelog preview is on our desk. According to the company, MIUI 10 beta 9.2.28 will begin rolling out to eligible devices tomorrow, the 28th . Once installed, users will enjoy fixes for the issue where WhatsApp notification badges weren’t displaying properly on the app’s icon as well as general system optimizations. However, it is the gaming community that will relish having the new MIUI 10 beta release more than anyone else. Xiaomi says the update tags along a new Game Booster that aims to optimize the device for intensive gaming by turning off auto-brightness feature when gaming , supports 3-finger screenshot and introduces eye protection mode to keep your eyes safe during the long hours of gaming.

Skylanders Ring of Heroes from Com2uS was announced a while ago. In fact we even c over ed it when not much was known barring the turn based RPG nature. Com2uS began pre-registrations for this back in October last year and we finally have the game live on the App Store and Google Play worldwide. Skylanders Ring of Heroes lets you join Stealth Elf, Spyro, and more Skylanders (80+) and mix and match to create the ultimate strategic team. Skylanders Ring of Heroes soft launched recently and the global release is finally here for free. I’m curious to see how this does because the Skylanders brand itself still has a following even though recent console toys to life entries haven’t done too great. The toys to life genre is basically dead with Nintendo being the exception with amiibo still doing super well. If you’re interested in checking Skylanders Ring of Heroes out, download it here on the App Store and here on Google Play. Check out the official website here. Source link ...

Gjelder ikke bare Galaxy S10. Med Samsung Galaxy S10 introduserte Samsung muligheten til å forandre på funksjonaliteten til den beryktede Bixby-knappen. Endelig skulle du få større frihet til å velge hva knappen skal gjøre for deg. Forrige uke kunne vi melde at også eldre Galaxy-modeller skulle få samme funksjonalitet etter hvert. Det viste seg at «etter hvert» er nå. Det betyr at eiere av Note 8, S9, S9+, S8 og S8+ kan konfigurere Bixby-knappen ti å utføre andre oppgaver enn hva den er satt til som standard. I praksis betyr det at du kan få telefonen til å åpne hvilken som helst app ved hjelp av et trykk på knappen. Slik gjør du Først må du oppdatere Bixby-appen via Galaxy Store. Når det er gjort går du til Innstillinger –> Avanserte funksjoner –> Bixby-knappen Derfra får du et par valgmuligheter. Du kan enten velge at knappen skal åpne en tredjeparts-app med et enkelt klikk, eller med et dobbeltklikk. Et langt trykk på knappen vil uansett åpne Bixby – dette får du ikke...

Συγκέντρωση διαμαρτυρίας πραγματοποίησαν σήμερα έξω από το υπουργείο Μεταναστευτικής Πολιτικής μέλη της ΚΕΕΡΦΑ και πρόσφυγες από την επιτροπή προσφύγων του ξενοδοχείου «Ηλιόχαρη». Το σύνθημα της διαμαρτυρίας ήταν «Ένταξη στον ιστό της πόλης. Όχι στην απομόνωση». Όπως ανέφερε στο ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ ο συντονιστής της ΚΕΕΡΦΑ, Πέτρος Κωνσταντίνου, «βρισκόμαστε εδώ μετά από συγκλονιστικά γεγονότα. Είχαμε δύο γυναίκες που γέννησαν κυριολεκτικά αβοήθητες και αυτό είναι τραγικό». Ο ίδιος πρόσθεσε ότι «οι πρόσφυγες από το ξενοδοχείο Ηλιόχαρη διαμαρτύρονται ότι τα παιδιά τους δεν έχουν πάει στο σχολείο από την αρχή του χρόνου, βρίσκονται σε πλήρη απομόνωση, δεν έχουν καμία πρόσβαση και δεν υπάρχει κανένας παρών». Εξάλλου, σε προχτεσινή ανακοίνωσή της, η ΚΕΕΡΦΑ καταγγέλλει ότι οι πρόσφυγες του συγκεκριμένου ξενοδοχείου, που βρίσκεται στους Αγίους Θεοδώρους, είχαν προχωρήσει σε απεργία πείνας διαμαρτυρόμενοι για την κακή διατροφή.

General New s of Thursday, 28 February 2019 Source: Mynewsgh.com 2019-02-28 Rose Bio Atinga The New Patriotic Party (NPP) immediately after assuming office should have sacked the then Director of Police in charge of Administration, COP Rose Bio Atinga from office before her retirement , according to NPP First Vice Chairman in Ashanti Region, Kwabena Nsenkyere. According to Mr. Nsenkyere, supporters of NPP across the country between 2008 to 2016 suffered a lot of brutalities from supporters of the then ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and went unpunished because of actions and inactions of COP Rose Bio Atinga at the time who was seen to be in bed with the previous administration. “Rose Bio Atinga as Director of Police Administration did nothing while NPP members were being brutalized. What we could have done is to remove her from office immediately NPP came to power”, Mr. Kwabena Nsenkyere spoke on Kumasi-based Nhyira FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com. His comments were...

The Herald Zvamaida Murwira Senior Reporter MDC Alliance leader Mr Nelson Chamisa’s decision to hold an ordinary congress instead of extraordinary one is meant to decimate party structures that voted against him five years ago when he lost the post of secretary general to Mr Douglas Mwonzora, The Herald has learnt. There is an uproar from various party structures angered by Mr Chamisa’s decision to railroad the party and hold an ordinary congress in May this year. There is fear the decision would see party structures shaken and a new electoral college constituted. The party’s national council held its meeting last week and resolved to hold an ordinary congress on May 24 this year. Expectations were for an extraordinary congress that would have restricted the election to the presidency. Mr Chamisa took over the MDC-T leadership without being subjected to elections following the death of Mr Morgan Tsvangirai last year. Sources in the MDC Alliance said Mr Chamisa was suspicious...

Best answer: There is a wide selection of new er games that can play certain missions or parts of the game as you download. However, none of them will let you play the whole game until the download is complete. Selective downloading is great The PlayStation 4 ability to play games as they download is great. It lets you get a taste of the game as you wait for the full download by selectively choosing what parts of the game to download first. This means you can play the intro missions, character selections, or sometimes, whole game modes, while you wait for the rest of the game to finish. Game developers actually build selective downloading into the game itself. They submit to PlayStation a list of files to download first, so they are queued into the download list first by the Sony servers. They can even go so far as to give the user — that’s you — the option of what parts of the game they want to download, though I rarely see that happen. You could, in theory, choose to downl...

After some back and forth, it sounds like Over kill’s The Walking Dead is well and truly dead. This update comes from Skybound Entertainment, Robert Kirkman’s company that controls The Walking Dead brand, which has terminated its agreement with Starbreeze Studios regarding the use of The Walking Dead license. „As of today, we have terminated our contract with Starbreeze Studios and will discontinue all efforts on Over kill’s The Walking Dead ,” Skybound Games stated yesterday. „We did our best to work with Starbreeze and resolve many issues that we saw with the game, but ultimately Over kill’s The Walking Dead did not meet our standards nor is it the quality that we were promised.
