![]() ![]() Sustainable landscape design considers every aspect of your landscape with the goal of conserving water and energy, decreasing runoff and reducing waste. Lay the tracing paper over the map to get an idea of how the new landscape will look. How much maintenance are you willing to do?.What's the view from inside your house?.Are there individuals with special needs in your household who could benefit from easier access? Raised beds or wider paths may be the answer.Are you formal or informal, public or private? Do you want your landscape to have a theme? Match your landscape to your personality.Will your new landscape fit in with the rest of the homes on the street? A traditional house works well with a variety of landscape plans while a modern dwelling does best with clean lines and simple plantings such as ornamental grasses. Consider your house exterior for design inspiration.Just as you have a style when decorating your home, use style outdoors to keep the entire property cohesive.What are your priorities - outdoor dining, play space for kids or pets, growing flowers and vegetables or simply relaxing in a hammock? Don’t forget to consider future plans. Now that you've got the basics down, you need a plan. Decide whether you prefer the instant gratification of annuals versus the long-term investment of perennials, or a combination of both. When choosing flowers, for example, consider the almost infinite combinations of color, the flower and foliage shapes, the timing of blooms and their duration, and the height of the plants. The color of your plantings should complement your home's color. The house is almost always the dominant feature of your landscape. When deciding which plants to use, keep color in mind just as you would when painting your home. Color used wisely will accent your garden, while too much color can appear harsh or grating. A well-designed landscape can look good without any color (other than green). Consider the year-round appearance of your prospective plants.Ĭolor: Color is the most obvious aspect of the landscape and may be the least understood. Foliage that is lacy in appearance would highlight a plant with more rounded leaves. Finding plants and features that contrast or complement is basic to a good garden design. Texture: Leaves, flowers, stems all have texture. Establishing bed lines is one of the first things to do when designing a landscape. Line: Whether curved or straight, lines are used to draw your eye towards a focal point or to separate areas of the garden. If it's a deciduous tree, imagine how it will look without leaves in fall and winter. In addition to a tree's form during the growing season, consider how much shade it will provide and where the shade will be during the spring and summer. They can be weeping, round, pyramidal, spreading, oval, vase or columnar. Resist the urge to fill every inch.įorm: Plants large and small have various forms, each offering something different to the landscape. Use them to draw the eye towards a focal point. If you have the space, consider having several outdoor "rooms" - each with a different theme. When the best features of your landscape have to compete for attention, they may go unnoticed. Be careful though, too much variety can be annoying or distracting. Variety and diversity allow you to be creative and have some fun. A faster-growing neighbor can easily hide smaller shrubs, perennials and other plantings. Proportion also applies to smaller plants. That 8-foot tall maple tree at the garden center may be 20 feet tall in a few short years, on its way to up to 100 feet. It is critical to keep the ultimate size of a tree or shrub in mind when selecting one for planting. Proportion addresses the need to keep the landscape features in scale with the house. An asymmetrical design would not be identical on each side, but would have equal points of interest. In a symmetrical design, the left side will be a mirror image of the right side. As tough as it sometimes is, try not to buy a plant, take it home, and only then decide where to put it.īalance can be formal (symmetrical) or informal (asymmetrical), but it should achieve exactly what the word means - even distribution or equality. Repeating the same plants in various parts of the landscape gives unity. To achieve unity, resist the urge to have one plant of each variety and in every color. Unity is the principle that ties the landscape together as a whole. A well-designed landscape will incorporate the following: ![]() ![]() Rule #5 No affiliate/referral links or codes.Celebrities are the exception, as long as you respect rule #1.

![]() Some researchers in this context allocate such a key component as "crucible experiences". In games, various variations are being worked out for cases when the player can experience complex emotions. The emotional state of a person is very affected by what actions he performs. Thanks to this game, I now understand all political and economic processes in the country, because I see the causes of certain events.Ī unique property of distinguishing and understanding many emotions and feelings using this information for their own purposes, has the name "Emotional Intellect". The benefit of strategic simulators in general, almost no one calls for question: it is a great tool for the development of logic, thinking, memory, a common outlook, knowledge of the economy, sociology, political science, physics, engineering, etc. In Canada and the United States, a special version of the game called "CivilizationEDU" was released. The second computer game that introduced me to the economy, the history of mankind, the laws of politics and trade is the strategy "Civilization V". In many ways, thanks to this game, I received the appreciation on the history exam. After I completed the game, I read a large number of books on the history of ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, Scandinavia and other peoples. A simple plot helps to figure out the game even first-grader. This game can replace several stories classes, because it presents historical events in an interesting form for a schoolboy. You can meet the king of Leonid, visit the Great Babylon, the Chinese wall and Egyptian pyramids. When you play this game, you get acquainted with the features of the architecture of different nations, get acquainted with their culture, trade and history. This game introduced me to mythology of different peoples: ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, Babylon, Scandinavian myths and not only. ![]() This is a game in the genre of Action / RPG.

Aside from blue light, our phones and computers are also filled with distractions (like emails and Instagram) that can keep us mentally engaged.

There was an add-on added, which gave you bonus bosses that allowed you to face them, but we never got that in English so we'll ignore that for now. In the regular version of the game, the three playable Servants never meet in game. We already saw Nero's, which basically turns her into an overpowered Protagonist, because that's just how things roll with her. EMIYA, of course, keeps Unlimited Blade Works, even doing the chant, while Tamamo gets one that allows her to cast any skill for free. Each of these characters come with their own background, obviously, and their own Noble Phantasm. Finally, we have the Caster class, who is a fox Shrine Maiden by the name of Tamamo-no-Mae, and boy does the Fate lore have fun with her. You have your Saber class, who is, of course, Nero Claudius, then you have the Archer class, played by Fate's own personal punching bad, EMIYA, though in the game he's called Nameless, and this is technically a different Shirou then the one we know in the main universe. You do the typical "choose the gender" and name and stuff, but you also choose between three Servants. In the game, after going through the prologue involving some poor sap who gets killed thanks to Julius screwing up their magical circuits, Hakuno takes over to be the proper main protagonist. ![]() Then again, they kind of included the events in the game to make this a sequel to a potential bad end, but still, let's go over what happened. But in this case, it would be best to explain what happened between the original game and what happened here and how they differed. I mean, I liked it, but I'm so heavily bias with anything involving Nero that you shouldn't take my word on anything when she's involved. Now, this won't be a review in the traditional sense. Well, by journey, I mean "Well, that got all kinds of weird, but it seemed fun." Because it's Fate, and its always screwed up in some fashion.

Webroot’s system optimizer is a rudimentary tool that eliminates browser cookies and clutter to safeguard privacy and enhance CPU performance. It depends on Windows Defender for inbound traffic, and unlike other antivirus solutions, it doesn’t grant users the ability to manage application rules. Webroot’s firewall offered by Webroot is basic, only overseeing outbound traffic and missing advanced options like ARP and DNS spoofing protection. Webroot’s Identity Shield can identify webcam use but has difficulties blocking keylogging and browser data mining tools. Although these shields deliver reasonable protection against web attacks and phishing sites, they fall short compared to rivals like Norton and Avira. Webroot presents multiple shields for online safety, such as Web Threat Shield, Phishing Shield, and Identity Shield. LastPass also offers a TOTP generator and various secure account recovery alternatives.Īs part of Webroot’s internet security package, LastPass renders Webroot’s plans an appealing choice for those seeking a combined antivirus and password manager solution. Premium functionalities encompass two-factor authentication (2FA), secure password sharing, password security audits, account recovery options, emergency access, and dark web surveillance. LastPass is user-friendly, replete with features, and compatible with numerous browsers. Webroot includes a subscription to LastPass, a highly-regarded password manager utilizing 256-bit AES encryption and a zero-knowledge framework. However, users may experience slower internet connections during full system scans. Despite these shortcomings, Webroot’s scans are notably faster, averaging 6 minutes. In a ransomware test, it stopped only 7 out of 23 threats. In our experiment with 1,200 malware specimens, Webroot identified 94.3% of them, a respectable outcome but not on par with leading antivirus programs, like Norton or Bitdefender. It provides various scan options such as Deep, Full, Quick, and customizable scans, along with scheduling features. Webroot relies on cloud technology and heuristic methods to identify threats, minimizing CPU and disk space usage. If you want the best protection, we recommend Norton. Both Norton and Kaspersky offer more features at a considerably lower price. Webroot offers anti-malware, anti-phishing, a firewall, a password manager, a VPN, and more. Webroot does not participate in the performance tests by the independent test labs. Webroot does not participate in the anti-malware protection tests by the independent test labs.

On the upside, Webroot includes all essential security features, such as a firewall, password manager (from LastPass), identity theft protection, and an anti-tracker. It was in last place out of 20 brands, far behind Norton, Bitdefender, McAfee, and Kaspersky. The last time Webroot participated in AV-test trials was in June 2019 it scored only 2 out of 6 points in the protection test. Without these tests, we have no verifiable benchmark to compare it against. Webroot does not participate in the independent tests by AV-Test or AV-Comparatives, which is not a good sign. Webroot is ranked #19 out of 20 antivirus software. ![]() ![]() ![]() For most of our visit to the lounge, even the left side of the lounge was uncomfortably crowded and noisy, let alone the main part of the lounge where, as I noted, we'd have had to wait around standing for 3 seats together to become available. Keep in mind that the above photos of seating are after we'd been in the lounge for several hours, when most of the passengers had left on other flights. I've never flown into or out of Atlanta before, and while I try to avoid spending a lot of time in airline lounges, I'd hate to have Atlanta as my hub if this is the only real international lounge option when not flying Delta. We primarily stuck with water, to stay hydrated, although my husband had a beer.Īnd of course coffee and tea were also on offer.įor such a busy international airport, it's surprising to me that this is all Atlanta has. ![]() Rolls and sandwiches weren't anything special, but the chicken pesto one we tried was decent. I liked that there was fresh salad and cherry tomatoes, as well as apples and oranges: While there isn't a complimentary buffet that I could see for the main part of the lounge, there is a modest buffet for the left hand side of the lounge, with the offerings described in this menu: The shower room was clean and perfectly fine on my visit, although bring your own toiletries as none are provided. There are a couple shower rooms, although given how crowded the lounge was, I recommend putting your name on the wait list as soon as you check in, to maximize your chance of having access before you have to board your flight. While the left hand side of the lounge was crowded as well, we were able to find seats by the window.įortunately there were also some power outlets by the window as well, so that we could charge our devices: It was a good thing it was available to us, since there simply weren't three seats together for us anywhere in the main part of the lounge. Initially, we didn't realize we had access to the left hand side of the lounge, because it wasn't explained to us when we checked in and provided our boarding cards. My review will focus on the left hand part of the lounge that's available to select international business class passengers, since that's where we were, and also because the main part of the lounge was so jam packed that it was impossible to take any photos there without being intrusive in terms of the passengers seated there. Note that these members only have access to the main lounge, and not the left hand side which is only for business class and first class passengers flying on select airlines: The lounge is open from 6am-10:30pm daily, and in addition to Priority Pass members, Lounge Club, Lounge Key and Diners Club members also have access. ![]() Fortunately all the concourses at ATL are connected after security, so if you do arrive in another concourse, you can take the Plane Train that connects the concourses, or the underground walkway.

Age of Empires IV doesn’t have this problem. While Age of Empires II is still a wonderful game, it might show its age when it comes to enticing younger demographics. The campaigns and tutorials in particular feel new and fresh in comparison to their older Age of Empires II counterparts. Unfortunately, there’s no in-game mod support at the moment, but mods are slated to be added in early 2022 With 17 different maps to choose from in skirmish mode, there’s plenty of variety on offer for people keen to take up the arms against other players or AI. Both multiplayer and skirmish modes deliver the classic Age of Empires experience for players who are keen to play with friends. Just like the classic Age of Empires II, there’s a strong focus on multitasking and making sure the actions of your villagers and your military strategy work well in tandem. You’ll still be building up your base, collecting food, wood, stone, and gold, and creating units to take to the battlefield in order to secure victory. Its gameplay formula immediately felt like it was quintessentially Age of Empires, and even though Age of Empires IV comes with a brand-new campaign mode, every mode will look and feel familiar to Age of Empire veterans.

With gorgeous graphics and eight biomes including deserts, forests, and subtropical landscapes, it’s easy to while away the hours watching your units and villagers toiling away. Even at first glance, it’s easy to see that Age of Empires IV is visually stunning while also remaining loyal to the classic visuals of prior games in the series. It doesn’t take long to see that Age of Empires IV does hold up, and it does so well. Would the developers be able to recreate and renew the magic of Age of Empires II? Or would it fail to hold up next to such a timeless classic? As such, seeing the announcement of the fourth game, coupled with the lukewarm response to Age of Empires III understandably made many fans nervous. The game still has an incredibly large and dedicated fanbase and even features a thriving esports scene centered around the title. Even though the title was originally released in 1999, its remastered edition is still enjoyed by many. The popularity of Age of Empires II is still booming to this day. It comes with eight civilisations you can play as: the English, the Chinese, the French, the Holy Roman Empire, the Mongols, the Russians, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Abbasid Dynasty.įor many strategy fans the world over, the announcement of the fourth game in the Age of Empires series was equally as exciting as it was daunting. ![]() ![]() The aim of Age of Empires IV is simple: build up your base, raise your army, collect enough resources and food to sustain your military, and take out your opponents in order to be the last civilisation standing. The game comes with a campaign mode, a skirmish mode, and a single-player and multiplayer mode featuring PvP and co-op play. The game was originally announced at Gamescom in 2017, and is the latest entry in the beloved Age of Empire series.
