![]() Swords are balanced for thrusting and swinging damage, as well as speed and handling. Mount & Blade Warband Viking Conquest will be available on PC sometime in December of this year.One-handed weapons are broken down into several categories, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. ![]() With multiplayer functionality, improved graphics, improved AI, improved battle mechanics such as the ability to utilize advanced formations such as the shield wall and wedge formation as well as improved siege warfare system will make the Mount & Blade Warband: Viking Conquest DLC just about the most complete experience in the Mount & Blade series, that is until, perhaps, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlords… You will also have different types of troops: companion soldiers, ones that stick with you through thick and thin, and the landed classes, basically peasants you call up to arms to fight wars for you and bolster your numbers. The game is also going to incorporate the option for you to build your own refuge, a place for you, your family and your troops’ families to call home, in addition to hiring staff to maintain it. Add in the inclusion of religion, random and historical events, viking expeditions and weather and you will find that Viking Conquest will make a very complicated and intricate expansion of the original Mount & Blade Warband. Taking a page from With Fire & Sword, there will also be a story mode where you can take part in some shape or form with the historical “ Great Heathen Army” and meet historical figures such as Aelfred of Wessex and Harald FairHair. One can imagine how much bigger a difference having a boat would make when it is unlikely for you to be able to have your whole army be on horseback (the way to make your army move quickly in Mount & Blade Warband) as well as the intensely large new map which includes 300 cities, castles and villages spread across the British Isles, Denmark, Norway and the northern coast of continental Europe. Most notable of the new features is the inclusion of naval things in general: Combat, travel, owning a boat and coastal assaults. You can take a look at the first gameplay trailer right here. While the Brytenwalda mod itself had added many new features, the features list of Viking Conquest is astounding. Mount & Blade Warband Viking Conquest is a massive overhaul of the original Warband. Of course, now we know this bigger idea was in fact the Mount & Blade Warband Viking Conquest DLC being made jointly by Brytenwalda and Taleworlds Entertainment. In late 2012, the mod was officially completed and the makers of the mod announced that the oft requested expansion of their mod to include the Vikings wasn’t going to happen, because they had bigger ideas and aspirations, which they couldn’t talk about. Basically, the beginning of the Dark Ages. One such mod was Brytenwalda, a mod that completely converted Mount & Blade Warband to a game set in 7th century northern Europe. Thus development of the game fell onto the community and many mods have been made to either improve or alter the game entirely. Unfortunately, since then, Taleworlds Entertainment, the makers of the series, had somewhat neglected the series in favor of working on and releasing a standalone expansion of the original game, Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword in 2011, which was set in 17th century eastern Europe and introduced primitive fire arms into the mix. It was big jump from the original Mount & Blade that released in 2008. It’s been more than 4 years since Mount & Blade Warband released (or nearly 4 months if you play on Mac/Linux) and introduced the Sarranid Sultanate, the ability to create your own kingdom from your land holdings, marriage, multiplayer and much, much more.

![]() Meanwhile, other games such as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are said to upscale much less successfully. Other games such as Days Gone are upscaled to achieve a 4K output, but reports indicate that the upscaling process used is more clever than simply stretching the image over a larger number of pixels. Of course, HDR is also available for those with TVs that support the format, and we can say that it definitely adds to the experience, particularly when it comes to lighting and shadows. Camera movement is much, much smoother in performance mode, though the drop in visual detail is noticeable - especially in-game, where the level of detail seen at 4K is so high. The one you choose will obviously come down to your personal preference. In our God of War review, for example, we found the PS4 Pro version came with two separate graphics modes: one which favors a resolution, displaying the game at checkerboard 2160p (or 4K), and another which favors performance, lowering the resolution to 1080p but displaying at a frame rate that's closer to 60fps We're seeing it bear more fruit now the jacked-up console has been on the market for a while. Games are slightly more complicated because it's up to developers to decide how they want to use the PS4 Pro's extra muscle. "The PS4 Pro supports 4K output, as opposed to the standard PS4's Full HD 1080p resolution." When it comes to streaming services such as Netflix this means that the console is able to play movies and TV shows in their maximum resolution – but unfortunately, the lack of an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive means that the console will not be able to play physical 4K media. The PS4 Pro supports 4K output, as opposed to the standard PS4's Full HD 1080p resolution. This is the big one – the main reason it's worth making the jump from the original hardware to the PS4 Pro. The Pro also has an additional 1GB of DDR3 RAM, used for non-gaming apps to free up the faster GDDR5 RAM for gaming performance. Both of these upgrades were also seen in the new slim PS4. The Wi-Fi of the Pro also saw an upgrade to include 802.11ac and a Bluetooth bump from v2.1 to v4.0. This bump is in order to accommodate the new 4K functionality. In total, the GPU has jumped from 1.84 TFLOP in the launch PS4 to 4.2 TFLOP in the Pro. Its power has been doubled, and its clock speed has been boosted from 800MHz to 911MHz. Meanwhile, the GPU has seen a much bigger performance increase on PS4 Pro. Both consoles share an AMD Jaguar x86-64 8-core CPU, which has seen a 30% boost in clock speed from 1.6GHz to 2.1GHz based on its predecessor. The internals is where we see some of the key differences between these two PS4 models. but considering Microsoft's Xbox One S already has the high-end disc drive, it would've benefitted Sony to have launched the Pro with one too. Now, Sony saved that for its latest console. Sony's decision to omit an Ultra-HD Blu-ray drive from the system is puzzling, considering that Blu-ray support was one of the PS3’s major boons. Despite initial speculation to the contrary, the PS4 Pro does not include an Ultra HD Blu-ray player – it can play Full HD 1080p Blu-ray discs, just like the original PS4. This is a particularly sore spot for Sony's latest system. Textures in Spider-Man on PS4 Pro are significantly clearer than on the regular PS4, for example – Insomniac (the game's developer) has done a great job optimizing the game for PS4, but playing it on a Pro is the superior experience (check out the video we've embedded above).įor an example, check out the Death Stranding PS4 vs PS4 Pro comparison on YouTube below. Should you buy a PS4 Pro and have a 4K TV on hand, however, prepare yourself for a feast for the eyes– games look great on the PS4 Pro. It's also worth considering that even if an older game hasn't had a PS4 Pro patch, it's still probably going to run better on the more expensive console, which also applies to PS5.ĭon't forget that in order to see 4K HDR graphics in all their glory on your PlayStation 4 Pro, you'll need a 4K HDR TV to match – an older 1080p screen won't see much of a benefit, apart from supersampling a generally more stable frame rate. The good news is that since the Pro launched, all new PS4 games have to include a 'Pro Mode', enabling them to make the most of the Pro's enhanced hardware. If there's no PS4 Pro mode in the game, then you can't get true 4K resolutions. Ultimately, it's up to game developers themselves to make the most of the more powerful PS4 Pro hardware. However, games need to have been specifically updated to take advantage of the PS4 Pro – you can see a comprehensive list of older PS4 Pro enhanced games here. ![]() One of the main differences when it comes to the PS4 vs PS4 Pro question is resolution: the original PS4 is limited to 1080p but the newer PS4 Pro can go as high as 2160p – or 4K, as it's more commonly known.

The spine and issues with alignment can also be responsible for issues during the developmental stage.Ĭhiropractic Care for Kids at Ressler Chiropractic If a child is experiencing pain, the communication of that pain may not be clear or can result in a bad attitude and crying. ![]() A child also might not understand their body enough to recognize a recurring issue and seek help. It can be very difficult to tell if a child’s spine is misaligned as there might not be any pain for the child to notice and become aware of the issue. How Can I Tell if My Child Needs Chiropractic Care? A spine that is out of alignment is a serious issue as an aligned spine allows for a healthy nervous system and ensures pain-free development. ![]() This added stress can also lead to a negative spinal impact.Īs shown, a child is faced with many different situations that can potentially misalign their spine. Additionally, physical labor comes into play as the children turn into teenagers. Sports and even how a child wears a heavy backpack have effects on the spine. Some kids also demonstrate bad posture while they are watching TV or sitting at a desk which leads to unnecessary pressure on the spine. At this stage children are very resilient and are capable of taking falls but it is also a possibility that some of the injuries can cause a certain movement pattern resulting in bones becoming misaligned as time goes by. The toddler stage is filled with twists and falls as they learn how to walk. Childhood also comes with awkward sleeping positions and sometimes a small tumble. If this happens, a baby’s only means of communication is crying, therefore the misaligned spine and pain associated with it goes unnoticed. During both a natural birth and a Cesarean birth it is easy for a child's spine to become improperly aligned due to the amount of pressure involved during birth. In truth, each child is put through a lot of stress while they are developing and an important aspect to healthy development is maintenance.ĭuring the birthing process, it is common for stress and trauma to occur in the spine. ![]() Generally, children are not complaining about recurring pain and a child’s body allows faster healing from injuries.

The nervous system of a child is in control of regulating every other system in the body. ![]() Given that’s true, still-I’m endless fascinated by the selection of images in the song, and the way they play off each other and off of my own state of mind or place of being at any given moment or stage in my life. Hunter referred to the effect as something along the lines of a “glittery image bank,” saying: I can sit right here and write you a ‘China Cat’ or one of those things in ten minutes. The kaleidoscope of imagery in the song does seem fairly clear in the overall state of mind it’s communicating. A note on Alex Allan’s Grateful Dead Lyric and Song Finder site says: “Robert Hunter played Saint Stephen>Alligator>China Cat Sunflower>The Eleven>China Cat Sunflower on 18 March 2003 to illustrate how the songs had originally been conceived.” The song is part of what was a set of lyrics sent by Hunter to the band when they recruited him to be the lyricist for the group. This cat took me in all these cat places there’s some essence of that in the song.” I had a cat sitting on my belly, and was in a rather hypersensitive state, and I followed this cat out to-I believe it was Nepture-and there were rainbows across Neptune, and cats marching across the rainbow. I don’t think any of the words came, exactly-the rhythms came. “I think the germ of ‘China Cat Sunflower’ came in Mexico, on Lake Chapala. It’s good that a few things in this world are clear to all of us.”Īnd, from an interview with David Gans, in his Conversations with the Dead: People seem to know exactly what I’m talking about. “Nobody ever asked me the meaning of this song. Hunter’s statements about the song include this, from his lyric anthology, A Box of Rain: That said, actually having the words didn’t do that much to clarify anything, and I think that’s just exactly what Robert Hunter would have wanted. It wasn’t until David Gans published an interview with Robert Hunter in BAM magazine, which included the lyrics to “China Cat Sunflower,” that I had any real inkling what was being sung. My transcription didn’t get very far using this method. I couldn’t believe the intricacy! I couldn’t fathom how it was being done.Īnd I don’t think I actually understood very many of the words-they were more like part of the instrumentation, like the poetry of HD Moe that I later came to love because he used words in this way to create a stained-glass verbal image.įirst, I started in the time-honored method of lifting the needle from the groove and setting it back just a bit to try to catch the words. I lay on the floor of their living room, and stared at the cottage-cheese ceiling, and watched the patterns form and re-form there, to the music that was playing-such a delicate constellation of intertwined guitar notes. And that night, I put it on my parents’ record player-an old Magnavox console-when they were somewhere out and about, and listened. She told me I should buy the triple Europe ’72 album, so I did. She was a huge Deadhead, and I was a neophyte. I was home for Christmas break from college, and a friend and I went shopping for records. I relish each new dive into this song.Īnd I’m not sure why this is. ![]() I don’t tire of the interplay between the words and the music. ![]() I don’t tire of it musically, or lyrically. And I have spent many hours with it over the years, never getting tired of it. This song opened my ears to the band in a big way. And in particular the Europe ’72 recording. ![]() I mean, if I had to whittle it all down to just one song I could bring with me, this would be it. Celebrating the start of a new year seems like an appropriate occasion, so let’s look at what is probably my number one desert-island song. I wasn’t sure exactly why, but I had been saving “China Cat Sunflower” for a special occasion. (I’ll consider requests for particular songs-just private message me!) Therefore, the best part, I would hope, would not be anything in particular that I might have to say, but rather, the conversation that may happen via the comments over the course of time-and since all the posts will stay up, you can feel free to weigh in any time on any of the songs! With Grateful Dead lyrics, there’s always a new and different take on what they bring up for each listener, it seems. Here’s the plan-each week, I will blog about a different song, focusing, usually, on the lyrics, but also on some other aspects of the song, including its overall impact-a truly subjective thing. These situations require post-stroke diagnostic work to determine the cause and prevent a second stroke from occurring. Nearly a third of Ischemic strokes – the result of blood clots that block the flow of blood to the brain – are classified as cryptogenic, meaning the cause is unknown. Globally, about one in four people over the age of 25 will suffer a stroke in their lifetime. These results strengthen recommendations for prolonged ECG monitoring for this patient population. The study also demonstrated that use of initial MCOT monitoring achieved almost eight times lower costs, reducing the total cost per patient with detected atrial fibrillation (AF) by USD 198,909, compared to monitoring with ILR only. The study determined that a 30-day continuous monitoring program using the Philips BioTel Heart MCOT patch, followed by an implantable loop recorder (ILR), improved atrial fibrillation (AF) detection rates and helped to reduce secondary stroke risk due to new anticoagulant use in subjects with the MCOT patch detected AF. Findings validate 30-day remote cardiac monitoring program as cost-effective standard of care for cryptogenic stroke patients compared to ILR aloneĪmsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, has announced new research evaluating mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) as a first-line diagnostic ambulatory monitoring solution with post-cryptogenic stroke patients.Remote cardiac monitoring via the MCOT patch reduced the total cost per patient with detected atrial fibrillation by USD 198,909 compared to monitoring with ILR only.Almost eight times lower costs were achieved with improved detection rates and reduction of secondary stroke risk. ![]() ![]() ![]() As an initial remote monitoring diagnostic approach, Philips BioTel Heart MCOT detected 4.6 times more patients with atrial fibrillation compared to implantable loop recorder alone.

Many of his films were either heavily edited or remained unreleased after Welles went to South America to film the documentary It's All True, RKO cut more than forty minutes from Ambersons and added a happier ending, against his wishes. ![]() Welles was an outsider to the studio system and struggled for creative control on his projects early on with the major film studios in Hollywood and later in life with a variety of independent financiers across Europe, where he spent most of his career. Welles was a lifelong lover of Shakespeare, and Peter Bogdanovich writes that Chimes at Midnight, in which Welles plays John Falstaff, is "arguably his best film, and his own personal favorite" Joseph McBride and Jonathan Rosenbaum have called it Welles's masterpiece, and Vincent Canby wrote "it may be the greatest Shakespearean film ever made." : 6 Among Welles's notable roles in films by other directors are Rochester in Jane Eyre (1943), Harry Lime in The Third Man (1949) and Cardinal Wolsey in A Man for All Seasons (1966). David Thomson credits Welles with "the creation of a visual style that is simultaneously baroque and precise, overwhelmingly emotional, and unerringly founded in reality." He has been praised as "the ultimate auteur". His distinctive directorial style featured layered and nonlinear narrative forms, dramatic lighting, unusual camera angles, sound techniques borrowed from radio, deep focus shots and long takes. Welles released twelve other features, the most acclaimed of which include The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), The Lady from Shanghai (1947), Touch of Evil (1958), The Trial (1962), Chimes at Midnight (1966) and F for Fake (1973). His first film was Citizen Kane (1941), which is consistently ranked as one of the greatest films ever made and which he co-wrote, produced, directed and starred in as the title character, Charles Foster Kane. Although reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed 23-year-old Welles to notoriety. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds, which caused some listeners to believe that a Martian invasion was in fact occurring. In 1938, his radio anthology series The Mercury Theatre on the Air gave Welles the platform to find international fame as the director and narrator of a radio adaptation of H. In 1937, he and John Houseman founded the Mercury Theatre, an independent repertory theatre company that presented a series of productions on Broadway through 1941, including Caesar (1937), a modern, politically charged adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. While in his 20s, Welles directed high-profile stage productions for the Federal Theatre Project, including an adaptation of Macbeth with an entirely African-American cast and the political musical The Cradle Will Rock. He is considered to be among the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time. George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter who is remembered for his innovative work in film, radio, and theatre. |
