![]() There should not be any cracks or leakage, if there is, you may be able to cut the end and re-clamp the hose. Check the drain hose where it attaches to the washer. ![]() Check the condition of the drain hose, it should be free of cracks and damage.Check the connections on the hose to ensure they are secure.When a washer leaks only during the spin cycle the likely cause is the drain hose. Many times the solution is an easy fix or an inexpensive part. If you suspect a transmission or clutch issue, it's generally best to contact a professional as these can be relatively complex problems.īeyond the mess that a leaking washer makes, the problem doesn't always mean an expensive repair bill.Over time, this part will wear and need to be replaced. A coupler is used to connect the motor to the transmission.Unless you are comfortable doing this, its probably best to contact a professional. If you notice that your basket spins perfectly in one direction, but in the opposite direction it won't work all you may need to replace the motor. In some washers a reversing motor is used.If there's little or no agitation, the splines that connect the agitator to the drive shaft could be stripped and in need of replacement.Within the washer's transmission there's a crank type gear with connecting rods that cause the basket agitate. The washer motor creates the spinning directly, and frequently with the use of a clutch. The main drive motor is responsible for spinning and agitating the basket. If you replace the belt, but not fix the pulley, you'll have the same problem in the very near future. If the pulley seized, it will usually cause the belt to break. The belt may not have been the root problem. If your problem was due to a broken belt, be sure the check that the pulley hasn't seized. If you notice a belt that is showing signs of wear, you should replace it with a new one. BeltsĪ washing machine has a number of belts and as they wear, they can show signs of damage and even break. You'll frequently hear a humming sound when the washer is full of water if this is your problem. It's possible that a foreign object is lodged in the drain pump. It should not be set between different speeds. You can also check the setting to ensure that the speed selector switch is properly positioned. If the switch is bad, it will need to be replaced. A faulty switch will prevent the washer from running. The lid switch is located inside the cabinet near the door frame, and it's designed as a safety precaution to keep hands from entering a spinning washer basket. You can do this either by removing all of the clothes and replacing evenly within the basket or simply moving them within the basket so that they are evenly distributed. If this is your problem, you'll need to adjust the load during the cycle to help your washer balance. An overloaded machine will become unbalanced and not properly spin. This can also occur if the clothes are not evenly distributed within the basket. Let's start with the easy fixes first, because sometimes the problem is as simple as the washer being in a soak cycle! Too Large of LoadsĪ washing machine will become unbalanced if there are too many clothes being washed in the same load. Unfortunately, you'll most likely need to open the cabinet in order to properly troubleshoot the problem. There's a number of things that can prevent your washer from spinning correctly.

![]() Once your connection starts, bring up Netflix in a browser or app - start watching! For instance, for US video libraries, choose a US server. Choose a VPN server based on which library inventory you want to use.Make sure you use a VPN that actually works with Netflix. Download and install your VPN using the official website or app.To watch Netflix using a VPN, follow this process: The first step is to sign up for a trustworthy VPN service from the above list. We’ve already made a guide for how to set up your VPN with Netflix but we quickly go over the process, as it is simple. How Do I Start Using My Vpn With Netflix? □ Unotelly □Īnother company that no longer works (since we last checked.) Unlocator □ Not good for reliability - the company also says they don’t work on all devices. It also stops working for no reason at certain times. Although it may be good for other use cases like YouTube, it will not unblock Netflix. They stopped providing a service for unblocking Netflix - quite a while back, in 2016. You might have some luck with YouTube, but it won’t unblock Netflix - either way, security is your main issue with this company. Hola has security issues, as well as a very shady background - involving criminality and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Today, however, this is either an ineffective or slow way of unlocking geo-blocked libraries. When this was still effective, the company made a big name for itself. This actually uses smart DNS proxies, to cheaply unblock Netflix. Blockless ❎Īround the same time as Buffered began to fail, Blockless showed that it was also ineffective against Netflix. Buffered has confirmed that, for Netflix US, they can no longer access the service as far as we know. ![]() In the past, this was able to unblock Netflix via web browsers on Windows or Mac OS, but this has changed since late 2017. Since We Last Checked, these VPNs Do NOT Work □ Buffered ⏳ ![]() If looking to view Netflix UK, US, Australia, France, Canada, Italy, Japan, or Germany - you can be sure that this is your option (it also comes with a one-month money-back guarantee). If these ever change, you can message live chat. They have a page dedicated to Netflix, offering the best VPN server locations for unblocking Netflix. Above Average Support for Netflix □ĮxpressVPN reliably unblocks for most other video streaming platforms such as Hulu and BBC iPlayer, allowing HD viewing without buffering. They’re also fast: speed drops can be a bit higher than NordVPN (6-11%), which is still very good, although this might vary for super far-away servers (up to 35%). When you’ve got space for only 3 champions, you have to be extra ruthless in dwindling down all of the contenders - so it could look like our HostingData team sees ExpressVPN as a bad choice for Netflix.įor starters - ExpressVPN is able to unblock Netflix on ALL the popular consumer platforms: Android/Windows, iOS/MacOS, Amazon Fire TV, Linux, and even some Wi-Fi routers - but also on devices it shouldn’t even be able to (these devices were made to support VPNs), like Apple TV, Xbox One, and PS4. Unblocks Netflix Everywhere and Anywhere ⭐ (We hope the maths made sense: you’re basically saving us a ton more than it might seem at a glance.) That’s over 5x more, which actually means you’ll only be spending the cost of taking out a 1-month plan 5 times - even though you’re subscribed to a 24-month deal. For instance, at the time of this article, Surfshark charges £1.76 for a 24-month subscription (using a discount code) - yet their one-month price is £9.17. This may seem like some kind of pricing trick, but if you do the maths you see just how much savings you make. The thing with VPNs is there’s no foreseeable future where they won’t be essential…and pricing schemes reflect this long-term thinking. And connections are unlimited, working on lots of different devices and operating systems. You get speeds fast enough to stream in HD without buffering or sacrificing security. This is one unique benefit of such shock: every single server can unblock Netflix, saving you effort from scrolling around for the perfect one.Īdditionally, although you will typically be redirected to the US version of Netflix, there are a handful of local versions that host for France, Canada, Japan, and others. All Servers Unblock Netflix (w Unlimited Connections) □️ ![]() ![]() Since then, the subreddit has grown from 4,000 redditors to more than 435,000 - and the memes posted there call out all kinds of “Karen”-ish behavior. Soon, a few thousand redditors had subscribed to make memes based on the redditor’s enraged posts - but when that aggrieved user eventually deleted his account and vanished shortly after the subreddit’s creation, the forum kept growing. The villainous Karen had taken the kids and then the house, both typical parts of the “Karen” meme. At first, karmacop97 told me, the subreddit was “just to compile the lore behind this guy’s relationship,” which he viewed as likely being a parody. He made the subreddit two years ago as a joke and named it after the now-deleted user account Fuck_You_Karen. Karmacop97 is a 17-year-old from Irvine, California. ![]() But one of the most prominent uses developed on Reddit, thanks to a redditor known for posting amusingly bitter invectives about his ex-wife - posts so amusing, they inspired a high school student to make an entire subreddit, r/FuckYouKaren, devoted to turning his saga into a meme. The “Karen” meme has multiple origins, each one using the idea in slightly different ways. Karen has a “can I speak to the manager” haircut and a controlling, superior attitude to go along with it: Kate Gosselin - or the Ur-Karen, if you will. The archetypal “Karen” is blonde, has multiple young kids, and is usually an anti-vaxxer. But the stereotype the name conjures - at least in the US - is limited mainly to white women in their mid-30s or 40s. ![]() Where a similar insult like “OK Boomer” stereotypes a specific generation, calling someone a “Karen” draws on associations people have built around extremely common names. And the recently trending Twitter hashtag # AndThenKarenSnapped has further shifted the “Karen” meme from its nebulous origins toward becoming a mainstream trope. Increasingly, “Karen” in particular has emerged as the frontrunner for the average “basic white person name” - a pejorative catchall label for a wide range of behaviors thought to have connections to white privilege.

From the first moment you enter the world, many things become apparent to you, from the to the mischievous nature of your minions. One of the gripes I had immediately was the fact that you couldn’t manually control the camera and at times are left running in circles to try and get the camera to the view you want. You are also eased into the controls by a series of tutorials which will have you reeking havoc in no time. When the story begins you are resurrected by a bunch of your minions and off the bat you are introduced to the humorous dialogs that continue for the entire game. While it looks as though the developers really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy and may have got some of their design characters from middle earth the storyline manages to set it apart from everything else. In overlord you get this chance by taking control of a very Sauron-esque overlord who, instead of searching for little people with furry feet and a ring, takes control of his minions and uses them in an attempt to rebuild his tower while committing some dastardly deeds along the way. The Netherworld's features include a minion graveyard, where later in the game the player can resurrect his favourite minions, who are now named and have a title assigned according to their accomplishments.Its not very often, the chance comes along to play the side of evil, to see the world from their point of view. From the Netherworld, you will literally undermine the world above. The Netherworld is the hub of the player's dark domain, replacing the now-destroyed Dark Tower from Overlord I. From the hidden Minions Burrows in the Netherworld, the new Overlord emerges to harness the dark powers of magic in order to fight the most despicable Empire and fulfil his dark destiny. He is soon contacted by the last surviving member of his father's minions. In Overlord II, we first meet the heir to the Dark Throne as a misunderstood and hard to manage ADHD kid - the son of the original Overlord and his mistress, another reveal from the end of Raising Hell. As it spread across the world the Empire started destroying anything to do with magic including the remnants of the Overlord's realm. In the vacuum left by his absence, the peasants of the world formed a new Glorious Empire heralding an age of logic, science and reason and other boring and sensible things. At the end of Overlord: Raising Hell, our dark protagonist was trapped in the Abyss by his treacherous Jester. Yep, in Overlord II the player's character is the son of the original protagonist. "Their society is recognisable to many people and, in many ways, it resembles our own world." The Glorious Empire has its roots in Rome. However, they will be able to fool enemies and act a little stealthier than the not-so-subtle amassed hordes of malevolent minions can normally be, so it opens up new routes and puzzles. For instance, the disguise ability introduces a new tactical element, but also adds humour - it's just wonderfully comical to see minions dressing up in armour that doesn't really suit or fit them and generally arse about amongst the Empire legionaries. The new abilities also ramp up the humour. It's great to go catapult-bowling and score a full strike against an enemy formation that is marching. Minions work together and can operate massive war machines under the Overlord's command. Wolves can jump, spiders can walk vertical walls. Minions are now able to do things such as riding mounts, which in turn all have unique abilities. All the minions have had their abilities adapted to new challenges the game brings. Rather than adding more base minion types (which would make controls more difficult and blur the lines between the minions), the four races are now stronger, more destructive and funnier then before. When designing Overlord II, it was important for us that we expanded what the minions can do. ![]() ![]() With cloud storage, you have to manually move your files to the cloud drive, and you can access them only through the internet.

If you want to nerd out over every detail of your backups, go with Arq Premium. ![]() If you just want software that works and does everything for you, stick to Backblaze. Although Arq appears to be a smaller company than Backblaze or IDrive, support was just as quick to respond to our questions its documentation, however, isn’t as thorough, searchable, or readable without a glossary. But Arq Premium doesn’t support continuous backups, instead relying on scheduled backups, so there’s always a chance it won’t be perfectly up to date. Its restoration process is far less cumbersome than Backblaze’s and speedier than IDrive’s, too. During setup, Arq Premium encourages (but doesn’t require) you to use a private encryption key for a secure backup. The Arq Premium software gives you a lot of control over how your backup works, including options to choose how long to keep files around, to select any external drives, and more. Arq Premium supports up to five computers, and if you need more than the included 1 TB of storage, it’s an additional $0.00599 per gigabyte each month (which amounts to about $6 per terabyte each month, making it more expensive than Backblaze and IDrive for data hoarders). If you like to configure software to meet your specific needs, Arq Premium, available for Windows and Mac, offers far more customization options than Backblaze or IDrive and costs less than both for 1 TB of storage. ![]() QuickTime video support, Menus available when no documents are open, Import images from scanners and cameras Introduced an icon set with designs that more closely resemble typical Mac OS X icons than those of. Ī timeline of major derivatives of StarOffice and with NeoOffice in light purple OOo version As of 2016, the source code is still available for free, but the software package is only available with the purchase of a commercial license. In 2013, NeoOffice moved to a commercial distribution model via the Mac App Store. ![]() NeoOffice 2017 and later versions are fully based on LibreOffice. Many of these releases were preceded by a version that only Early Access Members could download these versions were released about a month before the official release date.Īll versions from NeoOffice 3.1.1 to NeoOffice 2015 were based on 3.1.1, though latter versions included stability fixes from LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. The "/J" suffix was dropped with version 1.2, since there was no longer another variety of NeoOffice from which to distinguish it. But NeoOffice/C proved very difficult to implement and the application was highly unstable, so the project was set aside in favor of the more promising NeoOffice/J. A related project was NeoOffice/C, which was a simultaneous effort to develop a version using Apple's Cocoa APIs. The project now called NeoOffice was originally dubbed "NeoOffice/J", reflecting its use of Mac OS X's Java integration to enable a native application. NeoOffice began as a project to investigate methods of creating a native port of to Mac OS X. Subsequently, both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice followed NeoOffice's lead and implemented similarly native Mac OS X interfaces. NeoOffice was the first fork to offer a native Mac OS X experience, with easier installation, better integration into the Mac OS X interface (pull-down menus at the top of the screen and familiar keyboard shortcuts, for example), use of Mac OS X's fonts and printing services without additional configuration, and integration with the Mac OS X clipboard and drag-and-drop functions. Versions of for Mac prior to 3.0 did not have a native Mac OS X interface they required that either X11.app or XDarwin be installed.

Whether assessing the “high-spirited glee of American ruthlessness” captured in GoodFellas, or finding in Lawrence of Arabia a “portrait of the lunatic serenity of our leaders’ conviction in the face of all evidence and their own lack of knowledge,” he explores how we enter into conversations with specific genres and films- Chinatown, The Third Man, and Badlands among others-in order to construct and refine our most cherished illusions about ourselves.6."Seems like the light at the end of the tunnel maybe you."ħ."I see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I’m going hard."Ĩ."Persistent people are able to visualize the idea of light at the end of the tunnel when others can’t see it."ĩ."There's a light at the end of the tunnel. In these ten essays Jim Shepard weaves close readings of film with cultural criticism to explore the ways in which movies work so ubiquitously to reflect how Americans think and act. The Tunnel at the End of the Light argues that some of our most persistent and destructive assumptions, in that regard, might come from the movies. Given that most Americans proudly consider themselves non-political, where do our notions of collective responsibility come from? Which self-deceptions, when considering ourselves as actors on the world stage, do we cling to most tenaciously? Why do we so stubbornly believe, for example, that our country always means well when intervening abroad? The first book of nonfiction from one of our great fiction writers. “Shepard may be the best lesser-known film critic.” - The New York Times Book Review ![]() This means that the originating hollow is always left empty at the end of the turn. When a player picks a hollow with so many seeds (12 or more) that one or more laps is done, the 12th (and 23rd) seed is not played in the originating hollow - the originating hollow is skipped and the seed is played in the next hollow on. When the player reaches the end of a row, sowing continues in an anti-clockwise direction in the other row. The player then drops a single seed into the next hollow in an anticlockwise direction, a single seed into the hollow after that and so on until the seeds run out. To take a turn, the player first chooses a non-empty hollow from one of the six in the near row and picks up all the seeds contained in it. The objective is to capture more seeds than the opponent. If the opponent correctly guesses which fist holds the seed, the opponent starts. To decide who goes first, one player holds a seed in a fist. Preparation and ObjectiveĮach of the 12 hollows is filled with four seeds. These are called "stores" - players place their captured stones in the store to their left. On more ornate boards, there are often two extra hollows normally placed centrally at the end of each pair of rows. A typical combination is a wooden board with eight hollows carved in it and 48 small round seeds for pieces. Similarly the pieces might be small stones, marbles, shells or seeds. The materials used are not important - the hollows might be scraped in the ground or in sand, they might be carved in a soapstone board or made from an old egg box. The playing pieces should be hard objects small enough so that 12 or 15 of them will comfortably fit in one hollow. ![]() The game of Oware is played on a surface consisting of two rows of six hollows. Instead, they are a full set of instructions for friendly play and include additional comments designed to assist with the understanding of the game. These rules are not intended to be a complete set of standard regulations encompassing all situations that might be encountered in play. The full game of Bao Kiswahili is one of the most complicated of all the Mancala games so for this reason, a beginners version called "Bao La Kujifunza" has been outlined. The fourth game is a version of Bao Kiswahili another very popular game played on a four-rank Mancala board, which is played in Zanzibar, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and eastern Zaire. We have two versions played on a 2 x 8 board in Kenya - Bao for children and beginners and a version of Bao from Kenya played with 32 pieces. The third game is simply called Bao (although Bao is a generic term referring to a number of Mancala games played in East Africa). ![]() Oware Nam Nam is a game played on the same board by children in and around Ghana although it is just as complicated and quite different to Oware. Oware (or variants of it) is the most commonly played Mancala game in international competition. ![]() The first game listed here is Oware which is played on a two-rank Mancala board and which is common to West Africa and the Caribbean. Throughout Africa, the West Indies, India and Arabia literally hundreds of variations exist. Probably more than any other game, variations of the board game Mancala are multitudinous. Until 2015, Road Town port didn't have dedicated cruise terminal building. ![]() Smaller-sized luxury ships and superyachts often use for berthing or tendering the Soper's Hole Marina (West Edn Tortola). The city's business distict is within easy walking distance from the port. The port and its facilities are operated by BVI Port Authority. The exclusive agreement with NCL and Disney also caused other cruise lines (including Carnival) to drop Port Road Town from their Caribbean itineraries leaving roundtrip from the USA.Ĭruise ships to Tortola Island dock (anchor) at Road Town - port town on the central-southern coast. During Pier's construction works, many cruise ships had to anchor and ferry their passengers via tender boats, which made the port less attractive for travelers. The new cruise ship facility in Road Town was first used by the NCL ship Norwegian Getaway (berthing here on April 29 / on the pier's opening day). During the event was announced that NCL Norwegian and Disney ships would be bringing around 425,000 cruise tourists to Totrola Island per year, or a 21% increase over 2015. The opening ceremony was attended by BVI Government officials and cruise industry representatives. The revamped facility was renovated, widened and lengthened to accommodate larger vessels. On April 29, 2015, was officially opened the expanded Tortola cruise pier. The island's official language is English. Tortola BVI attracts cruise tourists with amazing beaches and the fact that Road Town is not so “commercialized” like most of Caribbean cruise ports. The name means "land of the turtle dove”. Tortola Island was named by Christopher Columbus (Italian explorer and colonizer, 1451-1506). Road Town is located approx 22 mi (35 km) from Charlotte Amalie (St Thomas USVI). The archipelago is part of Leeward Islands (Lesser Antilles). The other islands of the Virgin Islands archipelago constitute US Virgin Islands (USVI / aka American Virgin Islands) and Spanish Virgin Islands ( Culebra and Vieques, both located to the east of Puerto Rico). The island is part of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) - a British overseas territory in the Caribbean, located to the east of Puerto Rico (USA). ![]() Tortola Island's cruise port Road Town is located on Baughers Bay. |
