President Trump Fires Yet Another White House Staffer
Donald Trump seems to be treating the White House like the set of The Apprentice...firing another one of his leading staff.
This time, he has sacked Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, just 10 days after appointing him.
The White House says the decision is mutual, with Scaramucci wanting to give new Chief of Staff, John Kelly, some "air".
However, it turns out Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the President was not impressed with a tirade published in The New Yorker last week.
In the words of Trump - YOU'RE FIRED!

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The mayor’s plans are already drawing stiff criticism for city residents living in neighborhoods plagued with violence.
Rochelle Ritchie spoke with many of them, who say more prosecutors is not the answer.
The mayor’s plans are not being received well by people in west Baltimore. They are scared, they’re angry and say they want to see more action from their city leaders.
Residents in West Baltimore are speaking loud and clear about the violence that is rapidly spreading across the city.
“You’re getting innocent bystanders shot. I was shot a few years ago in my neck,” said Lynn Shaw.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and State’s Attorney Gregg Bernstein’s decision to add more prosecutors to the State’s Attorney’s Office in response to the crime is already drawing heavy criticism.
“State’s attorneys. What the hell are they going to do inside an office?” one man asked.
Wednesday, on Fulton Avenue and North Baltimore Street, a brother and sister were gunned down in broad daylight.
Those victims have been identified as 34-year-old Dwing Robinson Webbs and 40-year-old Natasha Elizabeth Bates.
Webbs was supposed to testify in a trial a month ago. It is unclear if his death was the result of witness intimidation.
Raw emotion from the fiance of Natasha Bates:
“She didn’t do nothing to no one, and it’s really sad,” said Robert Harrison, victim’s fiance.
People who live in the West Baltimore community say they are fed up with the violence and they say in order for it to stop, it’s going to take the community speaking up.
But residents say if they do that, they need to know the state’s attorney will better at protecting them.
“When someone comes up and says, ‘Yeah, he shot at me or whatever,’ what are you doing then to protect them? It’s not working, you see? He’s dead now,” a woman said.
For those who have lost loved ones to the gunfire, they say it is up to the people to take back their neighborhoods.
“Call the police. If you have to call them 100 times, call them,” said Harrison.
No arrests have been made in that double homicide.
The man who was murdered Wednesday was also shot a year ago–about a block away.

When I was looking at local music players on Android for my roundup, I tried to find an app that would analyze your songs' BPM and let you create playlists accordingly, but couldn't land on one that did the job well. Both DjRun and RockMyRun use BPM to build their playlists, but they are geared toward running and active lifestyles. What if you just wanted slow mellow songs to chill to? Or fast uptempo music to ease your homework struggle? There didn't seem to be an alternative that fit the bill quite well, until Splyce came along today.
I'm going to be honest with you guys: I honestly never though the "learning thermostat" thing would actually be a...thing. A thing that people cared about; a thing that anyone wanted (outside of a select few, anyway). But I was wrong about that. Tons of people have Nest Thermostats, and tons of people love them.
Today, Nest announced the third generation of its well-received thermostat.
There's a new LTE tablet headed to AT&T, and it looks pretty familiar. The LG G Pad X 10.1 will launch via the carrier's online shop on September 4th and will appear in stores on September 11th. AT&T has been stingy with the specs, but this device looks like a tweaked version of the recently announced G Pad II 10.1.
Sony kind of announced the Z4 a few months ago, but now it's moving quickly toward a do-over with the Z5. There will actually be three phones called Z5, which could be announced in a few days at IFA. You don't have to wait, though. A video from the French site Clubic was leaked showing off the Z5 in moderate detail.
Android Pay has been a hot topic in the last weeks after a series of memos and promotional materials turned up with the supposed August 26th launch date. As it turns out, Google hadn't yet distributed the necessary software to enable Android Pay for use on phones. That changes with version 8.1 of the Play services apk, which began rolling out Friday afternoon. A look around inside of the app also suggests there has been a bit more progress on the long-anticipated Kid Accounts. As of this release, there is also an important change to the convention Google uses for identifying Play services apk variants for different devices.
A dedicated app typically provides a better experience than a mobile site, but there are still plenty of instances where we end up inside the Android version of Chrome. Heck, that's one of the major benefits of owning a smartphone—the entire web is accessible to you throughout most of the day.
The touchscreen issues that plagued the OnePlus One are well known at this point, but what about the OnePlus 2? This device is still trickling out to the illustrious recipients of invites, and it appears to have a different grounding issue. Rather than affecting the screen, this one affects the capacitive home button. Maybe I'm holding it wrong?
Whispering Willows is the kind of game we'd like to see more of on any platform. The art style alone shows how much care and attention the designers approached the game with. That it happens to be fun is almost a perk.
The hand-drawn experience centers on Elena, a girl who can project her spirit outside of her body. Controlling her astral projection to solve puzzles forms the crux of the gameplay.
There was a heist (presumably) and you're on the run. Will you be caught or get away scot-free? That's entirely dependent on how you arrange events in Framed. This game looks incredibly polished and I can't say I've ever seen anything like it.

This April I had the chance to explore the Madeira Islands and was fascinated by the number of different landscapes, plants and flowers despite its relatively small size. If you’re interested in visiting Madeira yourself, this is a complete guide with everything you need to know! I’ve also listed some great things to do while I focused on the main island only. Enjoy!

What are the Madeira Islands?
Madeira combines the exotic, almost tropical landscape and climate of the Macaronesian islands with the Mediterranean culture and architecture of Portugal. Due to its unique flora and fauna, as well as steady warm climate it is often referred to as flower island or island of eternal spring.
The archipelago is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 600 km off the northwest coast of Africa. Besides the main island Madeira, only the much smaller island Porto Santo is inhabited. The three small, uninhabited islands Ilhéu Chão, Deserta Grande and Bugio form the archipelago of Ilhas Desertas (“The Deserted Islands”).
If you are looking for a beach holiday, Madeira is not exactly the place you’re looking for, since on the main island there are only a few beaches. It is rather a hiking and nature paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts, since the island is filled with hiking paths and changing landscapes depending on the area and altitude of the island. Some parts like the east coast are incredibly dry while other parts look like out of a rainforest.
As already mentioned, flowers are very characteristic for Madeira: there are countless exotic species that come in such strong colors that it almost looks photoshopped. If you’re lucky enough, you can even experience the flower festival which happens every year two weeks after Easter.
When to visit Madeira
The climate in Madeira is subtropical mild and the temperatures on the island are pleasant and constant throughout the year with around 20 to 25 degrees. However, the weather can be quite different on the same day on the different sides of the island due to the speed of changing clouds and different altitudes.
A mountain ridge in the middle of the island creates a weather divide that makes the north of the island rainy and often cloudy. Therefore, the south of the island, where its capital Funchal is located, is the sunniest part of the island.
In general, it’s a bit warmer and sunnier in summer and a bit colder with rain in winter, but you could visit the island at any time of the year. Since the Gulf Stream flows along Madeira, the water temperatures are also constant and relatively warm throughout the year.
How long should I stay?
The length of your stay depends on which kind of activities you’re interested in and what you’re planning on doing in Madeira. If you want to visit the entire island and see everything, I recommend a minimum of 2 weeks or more.
In case you’re only interested in hiking, it depends on which kind of hikes you want to do. The island has a lot of different paths to offer, so keep that in mind, but I would probably recommend approximately everything up to a week.
Seeing a lot of the island is totally doable in just a few days or a week as well, just keep in mind that your days will be packed, and you won’t be able to see it all.
Where to stay in Madeira
Madeira has a total perimeter of 150km and a size of 60km by 23km. Since the island has a very good infrastructure and there are numerous tunnels and highways throughout the island, you can easily circumnavigate Madeira in just one day. Therefore, you can also easily stay in one place and take trips from there to explore the island.
We chose our base in the capital Funchal, which is recommend regarding night life, car rentals, tours etc., since this place is basically where everything happens. For a more chill atmosphere it is also very nice to stay in a smaller village in the south – the sunny side of the island.
Madeira offers a wide range of accommodations such as 5-Star-Hotels, Airbnb’s or hostels. Feel free to choose whatever fits your budget.
How to get around
You’re most likely taking the plane to arrive in Madeira and the airport is located around 18km east of Funchal – the capital in the south of the island. The airport named after the famous football player (Aeroporto Internacional da Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo) is rated one of the most dangerous in the world due to the difficult landing.
Here is why: There is water on three sides of the runway and the only land side is a steep cliff through which dangerous updrafts can occur, making landing difficult. In 2000, the runway was artificially extended to almost double its length to make landing easier. But don’t worry, since the 70’s no fatal accident has happened and the only thing that can currently happen is several attempts to land.
Once you’ve arrived on the island you can take a taxi, private driver or shuttle bus to Funchal. If you’re not going to visit the capital, it’s recommended to rent a car directly at the airport. If you’re staying in Funchal a car is not necessary since you can easily explore the city by foot or public transport and you can easily book tours around the island in one of the many tour offices. If you want to explore Madeira more independently, you can also reach a few destinations around Funchal by bus.
However, I highly recommend renting a car since that is the only way to explore the entire island independently. The rental offices are located at the airport or in Funchal. We used the company “Atlantic” and were satisfied with our choice.
Tip: Take the smallest car possible and the full insurance, since the streets are very small and narrow (except the highway of course).
Is Madeira safe?
Even though the island is located next to Africa, it can be seen just like Europe and is actually a very safe place to visit. It even has the lowest crime rate per capita in all of Europe and is one of the safest destinations in the world. However, just like in every crowded place or city, watch out for pickpockets.
What to eat and drink
Since the archipelago is located in the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll find a lot of fish specialties, mussels and seafood and due to its climate lots of exotic fruits as well. In addition, the cuisine is Portuguese, so make sure to try some typical baked goods such as Pastel de Nata (cream pastry) or a bolo di caco (round flatbread) with garlic butter. Another famous pastry is the Bolo de Mel, similar to a gingerbread that tastes like Christmas.
There are a few famous drinks besides Madeira wine such as Nikita and Poncha. Nikita tastes like a milkshake and is a very unusual drink, which consists of pineapple ice cream, white wine and beer. Poncha on the other hand is a strong liquor and consists of orange juice, white rum and sugar, which is stirred with a typical wooden spoon and drunk cold. In some specific places you can also try some more special variants that are prepared with different fruits such maracuja.
Top things to do in Madeira
Explore the capital: Funchal
Madeira’s capital can be a great starting point and base for your adventure. Nonetheless, it’s also worth a visit itself. Besides the Old Town and its cathedrals, shops and restaurants, you should definitely explore the Rua da Santa Maria – a narrow street filled with colorful street art. Most of the art is painted on the doors.
Next to the entrance of this street you can find the Mercado dos Lavradores – a farmer’s market offering a big variety of exotic fruits and vegetables, as well as some local specialties and flowers. Make sure you try the fruits that look the most interesting to you for free, while buying them is probably not the best idea, since it’s a bit overpriced.
On the hills overlooking Funchal you can find two different gardens, that are definitely worth a visit: Monte Palace Tropical Garden and Madeira Botanical Garden. You can reach them either by bus or with the famous cable car. Both are featuring a big collection of plants and flowers. To go back down, you can try the traditional Wicker Toboggan Sled Ride: two runners that are dressed in traditional clothing are pushing you down the mountain while sitting in a basket.
Whale or dolphin watching
Another activity that you can take from Funchal is a whale or dolphin watching boat tour. In Madeira you can watch dolphins and whales all year round. Thanks to the regulations to protect the animals, they come swimming up to close to land. Therefore, Madeira also has a sighting success rate well above 90%.
While there are many different species depending on the season, the most common ones are: Spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, striped dolphins, and rough-toothed dolphins, Pilot whales, Blainville beaked whales, sperm whales, Bryde’s whales, small killer whales and fin whales. If you’re lucky enough, you could even spot the Blue Whale.
And even if you don’t see any whales or dolphins, you can enjoy the view of the island from a different perspective!
Try Nikita in Câmara de Lobos
Just about 10km west of Funchal, you can find the fishing village Câmara de Lobos. During the day you can see the colorful fishing boats in the harbor and can enjoy the traditional drink Nikita, which origins from the village.
Road-trip along south-western coast of Madeira
As mentioned above, the southern part of the island is the sunny side of Madeira, and you should definitely visit more than just the capital. The perfect way to spend a day exploring the southern coast is by renting a car either in Funchal or directly at the airport. You could start your road-trip from Funchal and have your first stop in Câmara de Lobos followed by the Riveira Brava and Ponta do Sol.
After that I suggest not taking the highway but the normal street to continue driving west, because you pass really nice viewpoints and villages. For sunset, go to the lighthouse Farol da Ponta do Pargo and enjoy the view. We discovered this place by coincidence, and I took some of my favorite photos there.
Ponta de São Lourenço and the northern coast
Another day, you can take your rental car for another road-trip – this time along the northern coast. A great starting point is the peninsula Ponta de São Lourenço, the most eastern point of the island. Unlike other areas of Madeira, this part is very dry with a different vegetation and stunning cliffs, which you can explore best by hiking for sunrise. Unfortunately, we were too tired from the days before and arrived later in the morning, so the photos here are taken at a different time.
From there, take the car and drive along the north passing nice villages like Faial, Santana, Ponta Delgada or São Vicente. There are numerous impressive viewpoints as well and the atmosphere is very different compared to the south since oftentimes there are more clouds and rain.
Once you reach São Vicente, you can easily cross the island via tunnel to come back to Funchal.
Fairy Forest and the rest of the northern coast
Another day, another road-trip. This time you can take your car from Funchal and drive a similar path as the one you took the day before when coming back from São Vicente. The only difference: this time you don’t take the tunnel but instead the mountain pass Boca Encumeada that rewards you with stunning views over the valley including the village Serra de Água.
Then turn left to admire numerous different landscapes as the altitude is changing and you’re driving higher and higher. At some point, take the turn to ER209 to drive above the clouds and reach the fairy forest: Fanal.
This forest was one of my favorite places of the island since it is so unique with such a mystical atmosphere. The trees look out of a fairytale and are usually covered in clouds. There are also a number of cows grassing between them.
Hiking at Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo
In the center of the island there is a mountain range with peaks over 1800m. Often the clouds stick to it which gives a spectacular view, especially at sunrise and sunset. The highest peak is Pico Ruivo which is only reached by foot from Pico Arierio and one of the best hikes in Madeira.
Hiking along one of the Levadas
Levadas are artificial watercourses to channel water from the north and center of the island to the south to support the agriculture. In most cases, levadas have only a slight gradient and there are numerous hiking trails following the path of specific levadas. In total, the network of levada paths in Madeira is over 2,000 kilometers long.

The Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Umahi, has directed immediate sack of 560 Senior Technical Assistants and Technical Assistants.
Also sacked were coordinators of 64 development centre and over 200 management committee members in the state.
The Technical Assistance were appointed just before the general elections in the country.
The sacked took effect from 1st May 2019.
Similarly, the governor has directed those 64 Coordinators, Senior Technical Assistants and Technical Assistants affected to hand over all official documents and property in their possession to chairmen of local government areas in their domain and to secretary of the state government, respectively.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Principal Secretary to the governor, Hon. Clement A Nweke and made available to journalists in Abakaliki.
The statement reads in parts: “The governor, HE Engr. David Nweze Umahi FNSE, FNATE has approved the dissolution of the 64 Coordinators and Management Committee Members and also all the Senior Technical Assistants and Technical Assistants to the governor with effect from 1st May 2019.
“He directed that all the affected public servants should submit all the official materials in their position to the Principal Secretary to the governor on or before 1st May 2019.
“He wished them well and promised to invite them for a valedictory session to appreciate them soon,” it stated.

Dhaka, 29 April, Abnews: A nor’wester accompanied by heavy rain and thunderstorm swept over the capital on Sunday morning, affecting the normal life, though it was a public holiday, UNB reports.
The seasonal storm hit around 8:30am with a downpour causing waterlogging on many major roads of the capital, including in Dhanmondi, Farmgate, Karwan Bazar, Mirpur, Shewrapara and Sher-e-Bangla Nagar areas.
The gusty wind with thunderstorm was blowing picking a speed of 62 kph while 55mm of rain was recorded around 12:00pm, Abdul Alim, a meteorologist at Bangladesh Metrological Department, told UNB.
However, many city dwellers welcomed the rain as it came after two days of sultry weather, bringing down the mercury level.
Dhanmondi, Farmgate, Mirpur, Karwan Bazar, Green Road, Shewarapara, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar and many important intersections in the city were inundated following the rain.
The Bangladesh Meteorological Department recorded 50mm rainfall in the morning until 9:30am.
Officials at the met department said the rain is normal in this time of the year.
Amid the bad weather, the authorities concerned have suspended the plying of launches and steamers from Sadarghat Launch Terminal until further notice.
Rain or thunder showers accompanied by temporary gusty or squally wind with lightning flashes is likely to occur at many places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka, Mymensingh, Khulna & Sylhet divisions and at a few places over Barisal & Chittagong divisions with hails at isolated places over the country.

Have you been rapidly gaining weight despite eating healthy and exercising regularly? Well, it could be a symptom of hypothyroidism, a disorder affecting the thyroid gland. Those with hypothyroidism have an underactive thyroid gland, which results in reduced production of thyroid hormones, thereby affecting the metabolism. If you are experiencing sudden weight gain, it is advisable to get your thyroid tested. Read on to find out all about this test and why it’s necessary.
What Are Thyroid Tests?
The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland situated in the front of the neck. It produces two kinds of thyroid hormones; triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones are necessary for energy utilisation and the functioning of vital organs including the heart. Doctors use thyroid tests to assess the functioning of your thyroid gland and to determine any abnormality. Thyroid tests can help diagnose thyroid disorders like:
- Hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels)
- Hashimoto’s Disease
- Hyperthyroidism (high thyroid hormone levels)
- Graves Disease
- Thyroid Cancer and Thyroid Nodules
What Does This Test Involve?
A thyroid function test is designed to accurately identify any irregularities associated with the thyroid gland. To examine how well your thyroid is working, the levels of T3, T4 and TSH hormones are measured.
For a comprehensive assessment, multiple tests are performed using a blood sample taken from the vein in your arm. For instance, the thyroid check test package provided by Apollo 24|7 evaluates the levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Free T4, and Free T3. It also includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test to identify any complications associated with the blood cells, while measuring the haemoglobin levels.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test
Typically, the first test conducted to assess the functioning of your thyroid gland checks the level of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) in your blood. Produced by the pituitary gland, TSH instructs the thyroid gland on how much T3 and T4 hormones to make.
A high level of TSH may indicate an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), meaning that your thyroid gland is not making sufficient amounts of hormones. This sends a message to the pituitary gland, which releases more TSH into the bloodstream.
On the other hand, a low level of TSH may indicate an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), which may indicate excessive production of thyroid hormones. As a result, the pituitary gland stops releasing TSH into the bloodstream.
- Free T4 Test
A high level of the T4 hormone in your blood may indicate hyperthyroidism, while a low level of this hormone indicates hypothyroidism. However, sometimes, abnormal T4 levels may not be a sign of any thyroid problems. For instance, pregnant women or those taking oral contraceptives have higher levels of thyroid hormones. Those suffering from severe illnesses or taking corticosteroids for treating conditions like arthritis, asthma, and skin problems can also have low T4 levels.
Such medicines and conditions alter the amount of protein in your blood that attaches or binds to T4. Bound T4 is stored in reserve in your blood until it is needed. On the other hand, free T4, also referred to as free thyroxine, is not bound to these proteins, therefore, stays available to reach your body tissues. Since the binding protein doesn’t impact the levels of free T4, it is preferred to measure free T4 levels. The free T4 test measures T4 after eliminating the effect of all proteins as it would affect the accuracy of measurement.
- Free T3 Test
One can suffer from thyroid disorder despite normal T4 levels. Therefore, measuring both T3 and T4 is essential for diagnosing any abnormality and its severity. The free T3 test measures the levels of T3 hormone after eliminating the impact of proteins that bind with the hormone and affect its accuracy.
If you experience any symptoms of a thyroid disorder, your healthcare provider may prescribe all of the aforementioned tests. One can book a thyroid test using Apollo 24|7 app and get their thyroid levels tested in the comfort of their home.

By Dojo Master
Double Dragon on Nintendo's Game Boy represents the first handheld version of the popular beatemup series, which by the time of this game's release had already spawned numerous ports and an entire trilogy in the arcade. Arriving two years after the NES port and one year after the Game Boy's debut, this version of Double Dragon would surprisingly prove to be the most playable of any of the handheld versions, including the Game Boy sequels arriving soon after. Contradicting both the more powerful hardware and three extra years of development time, the Game Boy game outshined Double Dragon titles on Sega's Game Gear and Atari's Lynx because of Technos' involvement in the title, which was obviously lacking on the other two systems.
Considering the Game Boy's successful launch a year earlier and the widespread support for the system (as well as the NES's continued market dominance in 1990), Double Dragon was well received by waiting fans, despite being a watered-down version of the superior NES port.
The Game Boy version of Double Dragon is mostly based upon the design of the NES game, though it doesn't follow the parent title strictly. Because of the Game Boy's limited hardware capabilities - namely the lack of color - the graphics are simplified and mundane even when compared to the 8-bit NES. Backgrounds are less detailed, enemy design is simpler, animation is slower and the levels are smaller. However, the overall design of parent game has been well translated and the NES game's distinct style is instantly noticeable, down to Abobo himself. A few sections, such as the platform area before the Shadow Boss's hideout, have been removed. The level design has also been altered in some areas and there are more "flat" sections where you don't have any depth to work with. The lack of color also makes this game less impressive in areas such as the cave level, which no longer features the flashing neon background and flowing waterfalls that served as eye candy on the NES. And once again due to the Game Boy's limited hardware, obstacles such as the falling spikes in the cave level have been simplified. The spikes no longer fall at random and in large quantities, but instead fall in the same predictable pairs that serve only to slow down the already slow progress in the game rather than serve as well-placed obstacles. Other new obstacles have been incorporated that unfortunately shift the level design toward the more difficult (and frustrating) side, surpassing even the NES game in sheer insurmountability. The prime examples are the skulls doors in Mission 4, which open periodically to suck you into a spikey death (like an iron maiden of sorts). These factors, combined with the slower gameplay and controls, make for a less enjoyable experience than the NES game. But in terms of the Game Boy's hardware, the graphics are fairly decent and represent a noticeable achievement in 1990.
The entire NES soundtrack has been ported to the Game Boy version, but title screen's theme no longer plays during the Shadow Boss's hideout, which is a true let-down. The soundtrack also varies in quality with each level. While the title screen and Mission 2's themes are excellently translated, Mission 1's City Slum theme is rather annoying and poorly translated for the most part. The forest theme for Mission 3 is decent at best. Linda and Abobo's themes (the music that plays during the character's respective one-on-one modes from the NES) are decent as well. Once again, the fact that one of the game's best-translated themes plays only during the title screen really lowers the overall quality of the soundtrack. There was definitely room for improvement here. The sound effects are unimpressive and of the usual Game Boy quality.
Every enemy from the NES version has been incorporated except for the most important one: Jimmy Lee. Why he was left out of the game (except for the two-player mode which is not cooperative) is unknown, but it is extremely disappointing for the game to suddenly end after a rather unimpressive fight with Machine Gun Willy, who has been toned down a bit in this version. The basic enemies appear in their respective forms, and both Chin and Abobo have been given new moves. Every enemy except for Abobo is well balanced in terms of difficulty. The problem with the iconic muscle-bound DD baddie is multi-faceted: he can't be knocked down with a jump kick, he easily dodges the jump spinning kick, no weapons are available to use against him, and his new Burnov-style grab-and-pummel move makes mandatory close-quarter fighting nearly impossible in the flat sections. Technos simply overpowered our favorite green-skinned (correction: gray-skinned) enemy here. If you can conquer Abobo in the later areas, congratulations, because not much else is likely to stop you.
Every weapon from the NES game has been included, but each one appears less often. While the majority of the weapons are highly effective against the Black Warriors, the knife has lost its effectiveness altogether. It no longer kills or even seriously injures enemies. In fact, it actually bounces off of them, requiring multiple hits to inflict any noticeable damage. This is unfortunate because the knife could always be depended upon in the NES version to take out tougher enemies such as Chin.
Controls and Moves: B-
Technos included every move from the NES version except one: the straddling face punch. The heart system has also been dropped, so players have access to Billy's full arsenal from the beginning. The problem in this area is that Billy moves too slow compared to the NES game and some of his attacks are ineffective against the bosses. For instance, the jump spinning kick is extremely slow, so Chin and Abobo usually duck beneath it, leaving Billy wide open to a counter attack. The jump kick is also problematic since it now floats more than it jumps and Billy doesn't land until after an enemy has stood back up. The jump kick is detrimental in platform areas, and it doesn't knock Abobo down either. The game play should have been sped up and jump kicks should have been able to knock down Abobo.
This is area is truly unacceptable. The Game Boy version was released a full two years after the original NES version and the same year as the NES sequel (which finally featured cooperative play), yet there is no cooperative two-player mode here.
The continue system also deviates from the NES title. Whereas the NES version re-spawned your character exactly where he died, this version causes you to restart the entire mission from the beginning. And though your character can earn an extra life, it doesn't mean much when you come close to finishing the mission just to be forced to restart from the beginning.
Like the NES version, there is a two-player mode, but it's the lackluster one-on-one fighting game, and it's in a watered-down format. If you select the two-player mode, you'll go straight into the pseudo tournament fighting mode from the NES game using only Billy and Jimmy. There isn't even a character select screen, so you can't even enjoy the novelty of having Abobo fight Abobo. Also, as soon as one player loses, the game resets back to the menu screen. Talk about lackluster.
The lack of a cooperative mode and the inclusion of the watered-down tournament-fighter mode lessen the desirability of this title. The Game Boy was easily capable of handling cooperative play, and Technos would include it just a year later in Double Dragon II on the system. Why is it not included here when Jimmy isn't even the final boss of this game?
Double Dragon on the Game Boy is a mediocre, if not decent port of the highly enjoyable NES game. However, the Game Boy title should have theoretically improved upon the flaws of its predecessor to increase the desirability of a technologically limited port. While specific bugs and the unnecessary heart system were removed, the two-player cooperative mode was not included. The game offered the first handheld experience for the series, which alone caught the attention of Game Boy owners, but it could have and should have done more than that. The game should have offered us the NES Double Dragon, version 2.0. Instead, what we have here is version .50. Unfortunately, this is the best handheld experience the series had to offer prior to Double Dragon Advance. It's unique in some ways when compared to the NES title, but it's just not better than or even equal to it.

7 pet-friendly cafes with resident pets or where you can bring your own
Animal-lovers and pet-owners alike will be excited about these seven pet-friendly cafes. This list offers cafes where your friendly pooch can join you for a meal, or those without pets can go to meet some new friendly and furry four-legged friends.
1. Purradise, TTDI
Purradise is any cat lover’s dream, with resident cats, which the cafe calls their “kittizens”, roaming the cafe and cuddling up to guests. The cafe serves up smoothies and hot drinks such as coffee, tea and hot chocolate, as well as having light snacks and sandwiches on the menu. It cost RM15 for the first hour of “furry time”, which is inclusive of a drink.
The cafe exists to promote the well-being of cats, as each of the resident cats were rescues. The cats at Purradise are all adoptable, so if you happen to fall in love with one, or five, you can look into bring him, her or them home with you.
Address: 24, Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 2, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Taman Tun Dr. Ismail

2. Clawset Cafe, Damansara Jaya
Clawset was created with the vision of having a space where owners could not only bring their favourite furry friends, but where the pets could roam freely. Opening in 2014, they did just that. Clawset is home to resident dogs, but also welcomes four-legged visitors and their owners. It is also a place for those who may not have pets themselves to come and enjoy cuddle and play time with new furry friends.
The human menu offers waffles and plenty of cakes, which can be accompanied by tea, coffee or one of the cafe’s mocktails. There’s also healthy dog snacks for sale to ensure your pooch isn’t drooling over your waffles!
Address: 36A, Jalan SS22/25, Damansara Jaya, 47400 Petaling Jaya

3. The Hound KL, Taman OUG
Cookie, a charming five-year-old beagle with an inquisitive love for humans, will welcome visitors to The Hound, a hangout that’s hopelessly devoted to dogs, with canine portraits galore on the walls.
This pet-friendly setting feels deeply personal and deftly put together; we particularly like the colourful stained-glass window shutters that look out on the bustling neighbourhood. Patrons are welcome to enjoy The Hound with their own dogs too, however, owners of the cafe would appreciate male dogs to be diapered.
4. Coffee Cottage, Subang Jaya
Established in 2014, following the Cat Cafe craze that took over Japan, Coffee Cottage’s biggest attractions are its resident furry kitties. Here customers can unwind with a coffee while getting cosy with some of the cafe’s friendly cats.
The cafe has two sections for customers to choose from: the cat room and the no-cat exterior. Customers can consumer their food can consume their food anywhere they like within the cafe.

5. Bow Wow Cafe, Bandar Puchong Jaya
This cafe doesn’t have any resident fluffballs, but Bow Wow Cafe welcomes all friendly pups and their owners. The cafe is spacious, encompassing a specifically designed play area for dogs.
Bow Wow is a great location to host doggy play dates or your pup’s next birthday, with cakes specifically made to be consumed by their fluffy faces. While the pups mingle, owners can indulge on the cafe’s selections of human food, which includes main meals, coffee, cakes and pastries.

6. Cubs and Cups, Desa Sri Hartamas
The owner’s three dogs will bark a friendly welcome to patrons at Sri Hartamas’ pet cafe Cubs and Cups, whose motto is ‘Pets Welcome, People Tolerated.’
Puppy love could certainly blossom here, with many customers strolling in with their own canine companions. Even if you don’t have your own pup to bring along, you can meet the owner’s dogs, who often pop in for pats and cuddles, or mingle with other friendly dogs that visit the cafe.
7. Thai Salad Cafe, Subang Jaya
Previously Barks Bunnies, and before that Hop Hop Cafe, Thai Salad Cafe is now a pet-friendly cafe serving up authentic Thai cuisine. There’s even some special treats on the menu for your four-legged dining companion.
To cater to those with and without a furry friend, the cafe has a designated pet-friendly area, where you can dine with your pet in the comfort of air-conditioning.

Automotive endoscopes used in surface defect detection of aluminum castings
After more than 100 years of development, cars have become inseparable from the lives of modern people. Among the various parts of the automobile, castings are an important part of the automobile, from the chassis of the automobile to the engine, structural parts and safety parts, which are closely related to the production of die casting technology. Automobile castings contain very important engine blocks and cylinder heads, which gives the casting molding process a great advantage.
However, due to different processes and materials, temperature, gas, water vapor, environment or other factors in the manufacturing process may cause shrinkage, porosity, cracks, pores, sand holes, slag inclusions, etc. These defects may adversely affect the product, thereby affecting its service life, such as possible defects.
In the process of quality inspection of automobile castings, industrial endoscopes need to observe the internal conditions of some small holes or possible defects in the inner cavity of the casting, especially the internal curved channels. Common methods are difficult to implement.
The electronic video endoscope that uses a small image sensor for photoelectric conversion has high reliability and long life. Industrial endoscopes can be used to detect defects on the inner surface of castings. As a visual non-destructive inspection tool, it has intuitive visibility, clear images, omni-directional manipulation, light weight and portability, and can effectively expand the observation distance of the human eye. Inaccessible it is widely used in the manufacture and manufacture of automotive parts, such as internal inspection of exhaust pipes and internal defect detection of various castings.
Automobile endoscopes are mainly used to detect the condition of small-diameter channels in certain automobile castings. Small-diameter endoscopes with probe diameters of 2mm and 2.8mm have excellent imaging effects and relatively high light intensity. You can directly inspect the fine surface defects inside aluminum castings.
Our automotive endoscope camera can be used to regularly check the internal parts of the car parts for cracks or pigmentation. The measured holes are bent and the minimum diameter is 4MM, which cannot be directly observed by ordinary tests.

Nest thermostat, fan will not come on during heating. It comes on automatically when cooling and can be manually operated from the thermostat and the Nest app. It just won't come on when I call for heat, causing the temperature not to rise. There was no problem with my old thermostat. What could be causing this?

Have 2 wire thermostat that i am trying to replaceJA: Just to clarify, do you think this is a larger HVAC problem, or something specific to the thermostat?Customer: I think it should be a small one because the heat comes on whenever it want toJA: Do you plan on doing the work yourself?Customer: YesJA: Anything else we should know to help you best?Customer: Yes , why it's only 2 wires insist of 3
I have a Toyotomi OM-180 that is being used as a boiler for
Hello,JA: Hello. How can we help?Customer: i have a Toyotomi OM-180 that is being used as a boiler for baseboard heat. There is a pump in the system for circulating the hot water that is wired to run all the time. The temp on the unit is set at 130*. The wall thermostat is set at 65*. The unit fires up, runs for about 22 seconds, then shuts down. It starts back up again a few minutes later, and runs for 22 seconds again. It does this non-stop, never running for more than 22 seconds. The temp at the wall thermostat never gets up to 65*. It's like the heat system can't keep up with the outside temperature, but the unit is cycling off. The temp gauge on the outlet side of the unit shows 130*. The inlet fitting seems to be the same temp by touch, though the is no gauge there. The piping to all the baseboard radiators feels warm, as do the radiators. This house is new to me. I am told that this is how the system has always been whenever it gets below about 30* outside; that the unit cannot keep the house warm. Seems to me that if the unit itself is getting up to temp and cycling off, then there is excess heat available that is somehow not getting into the house. Ideas?JA: Did you double-check the thermostat's settings? And what about the filters?Customer: You mean the wall thermostat? Or the one on the unit? Which filters? Air? Fuel? Not sure where the air filter is, if there is one.JA: Do you plan on doing the work yourself?Customer: Yes, as I'm in a remote area of Alaska and d't have another option. I am an aircraft mechanic, but with limited knowledge of HVAC.JA: Anything else we should know to help you best?Customer: I think that's it for now.
I have a zone air conditioner and heating system. I live in
I have a zone air conditioner and heating system. I live in Houston Texas and have a 3 story townhouse about 2000 square feet....problem is both heating and air conditioning sytems do not heat or cool the first and third floors properly - it appears no air is flowing into the bedroom on the 1st floor but it is flowing into the 1st floor bathroom. There are no other rooms on the 1st floor (except for the garage that is not cooled or heated). The third floor is always hotter when either the heat or air conditioner is on when it is really cold or hot outside (like 30 degrees or 85 degrees trying to heat the house to 70 degrees or cool the house to 75 degrees. I have a maintenance contract and they recommended I get the ducts cleaned, install a bypass duct and get a new heater (it is about 16 years old.) I hardly ever use the heater and was provided no reason to replace it other than it is 16 years old. I have had the evaporator coil replaced 3 times over 16 years and this seems like a lot to me. I had the condenser replaced about 8 years ago. They said a bypass duct would fix the uneven heat/cool problem but my research indicates a zone system should never have one and it is extremely expensive to install. I would like to know who is the best person to look at my system. I think a compete diagnostic should be done to see if the dampers and thermostats are functioning properly. They said there was some mold in and around my unit and is the reason they suggest it be cleaned. Your thoughts?JA: OK. To minimize me, please click the down arrow at the top right corner of this box.Customer: By best person I mean an HVAC service or structural engineerJA: Did you double-check the thermostat's settings? And what about the filters?Customer: I changed the filters after he left which was about 5 weeks ago.

What size is my Trane 2TTR2030A1000AA compressor. How much
Hi there, what size is my Trane 2TTR2030A1000AA compressor. How much would it cost to replace? I got a quote to replace the indoor air handler, which is connected to a water heater (to create a hydronic heating system). Is it worth replacing both the air handler (22 years old) and the compressor (12 years old), as was recommended, or can I just replace the compressor?

My mother has a weather King (Rheem) 90 plus heating system. Recently the furnace started to --as you may say--"short cycle". I checked the thermostat, and as I turned the dial to increase the temp, the unit did not turn on, I pulled off the cover to look at the coil and mercury switch--I did not here it click, nor see a spark when increasing/decreasing the temp settings. I purchased a new Honeywell digital, non programmable thermostat, and everything seemed to work fine.JA: Did you double-check the thermostat's settings? And what about the filters?Customer: The filter was just cleaned two weeks ago. The thermostat was set at 62 degrees, and the internal house temp shows 62 degrees, but the furnace cycles about 4x per hour--is that normal?

Finance Minister outlines budgetary objectives: Environment, living standards, sensible spending and economic growth will be the focus of the next budget, which Government plans to announce on October 11th. Minister of Finance Clyde Caruana revealed this on Tuesday at a pre-budget consultation meeting during which he re-iterated the commitment not to increase taxation. Despite this promise, Government will be looking at halving the budget deficit, which has increased drastically over the past two years. Caruana insisted that this will happen thanks to increased revenue from economic growth, reduced spending on COVID measures and a clampdown on tax evasion, particularly VAT.Malta Chamber calls for budget addressing immediate needs while paving way for long-term vision: “Next month’s budget needs to determine the country’s foreseeable future by addressing immediate challenges the country is currently facing” the President of the Chamber Ms Marisa Xuereb said as the Malta Chamber presented its pre-budget proposals to the Prime Minister and members of the cabinet. Ms Xuereb called on government not to embark on a populist agenda, a so-called electoral budget, but one which directs the economy towards recovery with difficult decisions expected to be made in 2022”. The key proposals pushed by The Malta Chamber, are based on 6 themes, namely economic growth and recovery, good governance, human capital and education, digitalisation, sustainability, and internationalisation.

In-Nazzjon speaks to bakers who said that the rise in the price of bread will impact other bakery products too. The price of the Maltese ftira will go up by 10 cents while small buns will cost 5 cents more.
PN promises free cancer treatment, IVF reform
A future PN government would provide completely free cancer treatment, Opposition leader Bernard Grech has promised. Grech said that cancer patients should not pay for their own medical treatment or beg charities, but should have their expenses covered by the State. The PN Leader also committed to overhaul the IVF treatment system, and ensure there was a specialist on the island at all times.
“There are lives at stake here. If we have money to waste on this government’s excesses then we have money to invest in families,” he said.

Lists with This Book. Jul 20, Tom Oman rated it it was amazing. I have to say, they do a very thorough job of colpnial the various aspects of the colonial era in Latin America. But they really could not have made it any less interesting. It is written well enough but they pound it all into your head to the point where yes, you are certainly well informed, but definitely left uninspired.
The reality is, this was one of the most enthralling times in human history and colonia, clash of civilization and the implications of conquest and empire are fascinating.
Howev I have to say, they do a very thorough amerixa of discussing the various aspects of the colonial era in Latin America. However, this is just an exhaustive account of the various aspects of the colonial administration and the breakdown of different levels of government and the economy and so on. It is all offered up in a dry tone, but to their credit it never bogs down too badly.
It is well structured and flows well from one topic to the next. I know it is basically a text-book and written for an academic audience, but I felt like it was missing something. It failed to paint a holistic picture including the banditry and greed and the wild and exciting coloniql of life and society in the New World.

Layin do not have to be as dull as this, but when they are you really have no bkrkholder to blame but yourself. Jun 16, Scott rated it liked it. Burkholder and Johnson survey the history of Latin America from before the Spanish and Portuguese conquests to the independence of most of Latin America. Along the way, they analyze labor relations, family life, social class, and much more. There’s a ton of information in this book, with a basically chronological organization for the pre-conquest period and conquests at the burkholdeer of the book and, at the end of the book, the expansion of the settlements and the controls by the Spanish and Port Aemrica and Johnson survey the history of Latin America from before the Spanish americca Portuguese conquests to the independence of most of Latin America.
There’s a ton of information in this book, with a basically chronological organization for the pre-conquest period and conquests at the beginning of the book and, at the end of the book, the expansion of the settlements and the controls by the Spanish and Portuguese governments leading up to the tumultuous period of the Napoleon’s invasion of the Iberian peninsula that led eventually to independence.
The middle was organized topically, and this would be my only complaint about the book. This section was a bit harder to follow and make links because different trends like social classes, the economy, and others were separated out from each other. That may have been unavoidable, though.
I’m still in the early stages of learning and the authors have made a career of it.
Apr 23, Jessica rated it really liked it Shelves: Nov 16, Judah rated it liked it Shelves: This book is packed with useful information about Latin America’s political lwtin social development.
And when i say “packed” I mean literally, information is just jam-PACKED into long, complicated sentences, with the authors barely skipping a beat between each point. Lahin can barely breathe now just thinking about it. That said, although it is certainly densely written, if you try hard enough you’ll learn some important stuff about Spanish colonialism.
Mar 10, Tabitha burkhokder it liked it. Fascinating book, though very, very dense and not a good pick for light reading. It covers the centuries before European arrival in South America and goes through the continent’s independence from Europe in the nineteenth century.
Breaks down the various elements of colonial life–religious, economic, social, etc. Absolutely great for anyone interested in South America or colonialism. Jan 25, Colonixl rated it it was ok.
I really enjoyed the thematic chapters, which earn 3. The chronological ones infuriated me, as many textbooks do: Many kids find history dull because of this kind of structure.
Nonfiction writing, thank god, is getting better and better; unfortunately, this was mostly a snooze! Dec 13, Andrew rated it liked it.
To be honest, the book was boring and only finished it as a supplement to the professor’s lectures which were fair more interesting and passionate. Only reason why it has three stars instead of one or two is because of how interesting Latin America is. Devin Mock rated it it was ok Sep 08, Jami rated it liked it Apr 06, Lsimon rated it liked it Dec 08, Stephanie rated it it was amazing Mar 19, Minna Tauber rated it really liked it Feb 18, Justin rated it it was ok Dec 31, Kevin rated it it was ok Jan 11, Coyote Longfall rated it liked it Nov 22, Charlotte rated it liked it Oct 07, Michael Hernandez rated it really liked it Aug 28, Corbin rated it it was amazing Dec 24, Tiah rated it really liked it Nov 24, Susanna rated it it was amazing Jun 09, Juan Faria rated it it was amazing Nov 10, Sean Greene rated it liked it Feb 28, Jamie Berrier rated it it was amazing Jul 10, Erin rated it really liked it May 17, Darren T rated it really liked it Jul 01, Megan rated it did not like it May 23, Dale rated it it was amazing Dec 30, There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
