It’s inspired by the Pokémon Trading Figure Game and developed by Heroz and you can nab it for free on iOS and Android mobile devices. ![]() Pokémon Duel launched in Japan in 2016 and everywhere else in 2017, pitting players against one another (or against the PC) in a digital board game. It’s available on mobile and Nintendo Switch, it’s free to start, and it can get quite addictive. Pokémon Questĭeveloped by Game Freak (which also handles the main RPG franchise), Pokémon Quest is an action-adventure game that splices together the Pokémon you know and love with a cutesy, Minecraft-esque visual style. If you don’t have any real cards and still want to dive in, try out the “Trainer Challenge” mode that lets you choose from pre-made decks to compete against the PC. If you’re building a real-life collection of cards, you can scan the “code card” that comes with each pack to add your actual possessions to your digital deck, making TCG Online an ideal way to practice tactics. Developed by Dire Wolf Digital, the game has something to offer for both seasoned players of the card game and newcomers that just want to have a go. ![]() The digital version of Pokémon: The Trading Card Game, Pokémon TCG Online arrived on the scene as a browser-only experience in 2011 before launching as an app for iPad and Android. Loads more Pokémon have been added to the game since launch as well, and there are regular events and challenges to keep you engaged. And, as an added bonus, heaps of new features have been added over the years, too.Īs well as finding and catching Pokémon, with the option of Augmented Reality graphics, you can now also trade with your chums, send gifts, and partake in battles and raids. Since those early days, a lot of kinks have been ironed out, with those frustrating crashes now being a thing of the past. Still going strong, almost three years on from its world-conquering launch, Pokémon Gois well worth picking up. Here are seven free Pokémon games that you can play right now… Pokémon Go Most of the cities have one gym leader each, which serves as a boss, as do some of the towns.Let’s get cracking, then. The locations in the game within Johto include New Bark Town, Cherrygrove City, Violet City, Azalea Town, Goldenrod City, Ecruteak City, Olivine City, Cianwood City, Mahogany Town, and Blackthorn City. The design of Johto was inspired by Japan’s Kansai and Tōkai regions, with many of the region’s temples and more traditional Japanese aesthetics finding their way into Johto. Pokémon Gold and Silver are set in the region of Johto, situated to the west of the Kanto region from the previous Red and Blue games, and three years after the conclusion of the previous games. As the player randomly encounters one of these creatures, the field switches to a turn-based “battle scene”, where the Pokémon will fight. Like previous installments, Pokémon Gold and Silver are played from a third-person, top-down perspective, with players directly navigating the protagonist around the fictional universe, interacting with objects and people.Īs the player explores this world, they will encounter different terrains, such as grassy fields, forests, caves, and seas in which different Pokémon species reside. The Johto Saga of the Pokémon anime is based on the new region introduced in the games. It is necessary to trade between these games and their predecessors in order to fully complete each games’ Pokédex. Both games are independent of each other but feature largely the same plot and, while both can be played separately. ![]() The games introduce 100 new species of Pokémon and follow the progress of the player character in their quest to master Pokémon battling. Pokémon Gold Version (Japanese: Pocket Monsters: Gold) and Pokémon Silver Version (Pocket Monsters: Silver) were the first core series games of Generation II for the Game Boy Color.

![]() I’ve been trying out VR headsets since the OG Oculus Rift back in 2016, and the Vision Pro is far and away the most frictionless, “things just work” experience I’ve ever had with one. So, is the Apple Vision Pro actually worth it - in terms of both money and these potential trade-offs? Here’s what I think after working, playing, watching movies and more or less living in Apple’s long-awaited headset for two weeks. But a high cost is far from the headset’s only caveat, and even serial early adopters with deep pockets will have to consider if they want to deal with occasionally uncooperative software, heavy hardware that gets uncomfortable and the fact that you might not have a great time using it if you live in a household full of people. Somewhere between these moments, I’m constructing 3D puzzles, going stargazing and getting my heart rate up with some rhythm-based gaming, fluidly bouncing from app to app in a way that even the best VR headsets can’t deliver.Īdd all these experiences together and the Vision Pro’s staggering $3,500 price tag starts to become slightly less preposterous. When I’m done working for the day, I bring my headset to the couch and enter my own personal movie theater that makes my OLED TV look tiny by comparison. ![]() All my usual apps are floating in front of me, where I can effortlessly flick them around my office like I’m Tony Stark - and see a whole lot more at once than I can on my monitor.

This can help signal to your dog that you want his eyes on you. This is an excellent addition to hand signals for dogs to get your pooch to watch you. However, it can also be used for commands like “come”. This hand signal is commonly used for the “shake” command. The classic time out signal used in sports makes an excellent visual cue for your dog for commands like “leave it”, “drop”, or “quiet”.Īlthough usually only used for deaf dogs, there’s no reason your hearing dog can’t have a nice visual cue for these commands.Ī bonus is that it is obviously different from other hand signals for dogs. Just remember, you can only use it with ONE command. Putting your hand out, palm forward is an excellent visual cue to pair with a command like “off”, “stop”, or “freeze”. ![]() It’s also an easy to pick up signal for your dog. 4- Finger Point DownĪnother of the common hand signals for dogs, finger pointing down is used to give a visual cue to the “lie down” command. It’s also a great way to praise a deaf dog. When you phase out the treats for the other hand signals, you can use this one as praise. Just like with people, this hand signal, in conjunction with a click or treat, lets your dog know he did a good job. Want to teach your dog to give hugs?

When Wang passed away, Barkley showed up at his funeral, and Shirley Wang soon realized in conversations with Barkley that he was closer to an extended family member than an acquaintance of her father. The two men became close friends, but even Wang’s daughter didn’t believe her dad was truly tight with one of the greatest NBA players ever. The two men talked for hours in a bar, and Barkley gave Wang his number and told him to keep in touch. Lin Wang, a “cat litter scientist,” happened to meet Barkley at a hotel in Sacramento on a business trip. “Everybody’s, like, ‘Who’s the Asian dude over there?’ “ Barkley recalls.

I don’t have Buddy Baker’s book or Tom Malone’s book. I was fortunate that one of my teachers stressed learning and using them, but also not to think of them as “alternates,” but as equivalent positions. I believe one of the difficulties with “alternate” positions is that they are taught as alternates, almost like second class citizens. I really would have like to have seen Willie Dennis in action, for instance, as I can't think of a way to do his stuff without all the positions. Some parts of the horn have a remarkable performance envelope, others not much. It is interesting how much can be done without many alt positions. Things sometimes don't work well down 5 or up 4 so finding new things of the same sense (inversions with other modifications) can make it happen in the same neighborhood. It may be that a little chromatic thing can make the move in an interesting way. Things to try include working a pattern in one tonality, like dominant, and then end on some part of tonic somehow. And then stuff like 53 42 is subject to endless variation. Others, like 1357 2468 kind of things not so much. ![]() Some things work almost everywhere, like turns. So I try to capture the "sense" of it with position/note/rhythm modifications. Some stuff just does not work in some places. In addition, as I work patterns, usually scalewise, I will be flexible with their interpretation at different places on the horn. ![]() It's a great way to get your ear in tune with them. Really low bar alt practice is to use them in bands on the easy parts. ![]() I’d say practice and learn using alternate positions as part of your regular practice routine to improve your ability to use them “on demand” Over time, you can default to alternate position more naturally as using them becomes “second nature”. If I am sight reading I seem to default to whatever I have been able to ingrain for scales etc. I will be more analytical / strategic as to which positions facilitate music expression if I am working on a piece of music I am learning and have the luxury of time to practice it. I typically practice improvised patterns using alternate positions such as some arpeggios and broken scales that lend themselves to “fretting” using muscle memory and a different starting point for the pattern. ![]() ![]() Rifle does look like an Army Hunting rifle per Speed's books. Rear sight looks like an old but useful and ingenious cobble job. Later ones show 9x57 on the barrel shank. The caliber marking follows the rules of the production time. If the sight should be numbered (same style as on the rest of the rifle) on the bottom it would be for sure an original Oberndorf part. The barrel base for the rear sight looks as if it could also accept the normal one standing and two folding leaf sight. Though you find in Speeds book "Archive" a similiar looking sight on page 527. The rear sight maybe factory made, but could be an (American) aftermarket product. What you have is a genuine Oberndorf Army Type C rifle. Are all rifles marked 9.0 H in the 9x57 caliber? Any chance the ramp rear sight is original? Were there a lot of the army hunting rifles made? Anything else I should look for when it shows up? Sorry for all the questions and thanks for any help you may be able to give me. I have a few more questions for the experts. The barrel is stepped, it has a barrel sling swivel and ramp type rear sight. Would this be a type C army hunting rifle? It has B and U proofs and the serial #88359 on the receiver ring, 9.0 H and a matching serial number on the barrel, and WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER-OBERNDORF on the side rail. I was going through the only Mauser reference book I have, Speed's Archive, and saw some very similar ones on page 517. At least in the pictures the barrel, action, and bolt have matching numbers so at worst I would have a nice Oberndorf action. From the pictures I thought it was put together with parts from other rifles at first. I recently bought what I think is an army hunting rifle made around 1924.

As we appropriately seek for and receive the spiritual gift of faith in the Redeemer, we then turn to and rely upon the merits, the mercy, and the grace of the Holy Messiah (see 2 Nephi 2:8). First was repentance, “a turning of the heart and will to God, and a renunciation of sin” (Bible Dictionary, “Repentance,” 760). The basic principles outlined by the Master in this scripture are essential for us to understand and apply in our lives. Said He, “Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day” ( 3 Nephi 27:20). As the Savior’s time with the people was drawing to a close, He succinctly summarized the fundamental principles of His gospel. The Savior’s Ministry in the New Worldĭuring the Lord’s three-day ministry in the New World, He taught His doctrine, authorized His disciples to perform priesthood ordinances, healed the sick, prayed for the people, and lovingly blessed the children. ![]() I pray for the guidance of the Spirit for me and for you. Today I want to review with you one of my favorite Book of Mormon events, the Savior’s appearance in the New World, and discuss His instruction to the multitude about the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost. I came to know for myself that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and contains the fulness of His everlasting gospel (see D&C 27:5). Through the simple consistency of her example and testimony, my mother kindled in me the first flames of faith in the Savior and in His latter-day Church. I especially remember her description of the Savior’s visit to the American continent following His Resurrection and of His teachings to the people in the land of Bountiful. She had a way of making the scriptural episodes come alive in my youthful imagination, and I did not doubt that my mother had a witness of the truthfulness of that sacred record. I have fond childhood memories of my mother reading Book of Mormon stories to me. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can enable it by opening the Navigator GUI and searching for "TabGUI" (don't worry, you only need to do this once).
