Or Bethesda's characters (one thing I found Bethesda is good about in general, female representation. Rockstar actually did way better with Sadie. I wouldn't really use CDPR as my favorite developer when it comes to female characters honestly. I mean it just seemed very obvious they were pandering to guys with their female characters and if you were a woman and enjoyed it we were just an afterthought and not their main target. Just cause it was so absurd to do that in the game. At the same time I admit I did go for trying to have Geralt have sex on top of a stuffed unicorn. Especially as how it seems one of the main things of the game is to see who you can have sex with (yes, they do call you out on it if you play the field though, that's nice). I know that's written in the story that way but it still is annoying (to me it says something of the story material they chose). I mean sometimes I could really appreciate their character but mostly they felt like they were there for eye candy for guys. Honestly, not going to be a popular opinion but too sexualized honestly. This really isn't a big deal to me, I just find that social issues like this make for interesting discussion. I am loving it more than I have enjoyed an RPG in a long, long time. I guess I'm also not sure what's considered respectful representation for women by women, and I'd like to hear some genuine thoughts on the matter.ĭon't get me wrong, the Witcher 3 is an INCREDIBLE game. I don't know if I was just jumping on the fact that they were sexy characters too quickly to form a judgement, or if this situation is complex and CD Projekt Red and the writer of the Witcher series simply got some things right, and some things wrong. Afterwards, there are a set of four dialogue options that you can choose with her, and if you ask too many questions about the corpse before asking if she's okay, she'll jump on Geralt for being thoughtless. You can protest, but she'll do it anyways regardless as to what you say to her. They'll even call Geralt out when he's being thoughtless or pigheaded.įor example, in Skellige, when you're looking for Ciri, there's a point in which Yennifer will resurrect a corpse and force it to speak. It's not that BioWare-esque fantasy of "I can make a female character do whatever I want if I just pick the right dialogue options," and beyond that, they're strong, multi-dimensional characters. Despite this being a choice-based RPG, there are scenarios where the love interests can tell you no or defy you no matter what you say to them. The more that I played, though, the more that I found a complexity to the characters that I don't often seen in other games. I dunno, it felt like they were written in like they were there to satisfy the male fantasy. The scene with Ciri in the Sauna, the various sex scenes with Yen and Triss, the rather tight apparel. I enjoyed them as characters, but a lot of the scenes in the game felt like they were clearly catering to men. How do women feel about The Witcher 3's main female characters? This is my first playthrough, and for most of the game, they've seemed like hyper-sexualized male fantasy women. I know that it's not exactly my place to be talking about women in games, but the subject has had me in thought lately. I'm going to put that out there right now. Hopefully these improvements continue in Cyberpunk and whatever CDPR work on next. That being said you also have great characters like Cerys who aren't sexualized and actually play an active role in the game as an equal to the Witcher so there are some noticeable improvements. Some of the character designs are not amazing (I really would've preferred Ciri wear some armor like that design in the first page), and some of the writing can be a little problematic (see the Iron Maiden quest). Witcher 3 is better although still not perfect by any means. There's also the case of Ves, who's probably has the worst design out of any character in the series. The amount of objectification in Witcher 2 really made me feel the game was pandering towards horny men. Witcher 2 was better in some ways but there's still a lot of really weird stuff in there (see that one awful conversation you can have with the female elven archer in vergen where almost all the dialogue choice are horribly sexist). ![]() Witcher 1 was incredibly awful with the myriads of women who wanted to sleep with the player as well as the awful "sex cards" crap. ![]() 1’, ‘Nymphomaniac Vol.FWIW this is something the Witcher games have been progressively getting better at. Hulu – ‘The China Hustle’, ‘The Hate U Give’, ‘Journey to the West’, ‘Monsters’, ‘Nymphomaniac Vol. Netflix – ‘A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora’s Box’, ‘A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella’, ‘Nikamma’, ‘A Clean Sweep’, ‘Ancient Aliens (Season 4)’, ‘Learn to Swim’, ‘High Heat’, ‘Look Both Ways’, ‘Unsuspicious’, ‘Inside the Mind of a Cat’, ‘Kleo’, ‘The Assistant’, ‘The Next 365 Days’ ![]() It makes the most sense being that there is prison gates in the background. If I had to guess between the three choices, I'd bet on scenario one. I doubt that's the case, although it is a possibility. The final scenario would be that he's just wearing it to look cool or "bad ass". Two, Daryl was captured by harmful (or cautious) survivors, and was masked until he brang them to his home, the prison. One, they decided to clear out the walkers in the prison yard, and they are burning the bodies. These are fun to joke around about but when I seriously think about it, I can only come up with three possible scenarios for why he's masked. Many sites have joked around about him changing Judith's diaper or robbing a zombie convenience store. Why is Daryl covering the bottom half of his face? Your guess is as good as mine. We also can infer that many new, devious characters, possibly from the comics will arise. It seems with the casts hints and this magazine as if there will be new, scarier walkers this season. This cover will also be distributed on July 26th.Įvery cover has the exact same caption under the words "The Walking Dead", it reads, NEW ZOMBIES! NEW THREATS! GEAR UP FOR SEASON FOUR. Being that this is the only photo we have thus far of Carl, I'd speculate that he will, in the near future, gravitate closer towards The Governor's customs and conduct. At the closing of season three many fans questioned whether the season four Carl would become more like The Governor or his father, Rick. ![]() The third and last collector's cover shows Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) with a hostile expression on his face. This one also, according to the top right corner will also be released on July 26th. He is also wearing his unique winged leather vest, poncho, and gloves. The second collector's cover portrays a fan favorite Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) perched on his loud, but bad ass motorcycle. ![]() This will be the first of three collector's covers and will be in stores July 26th 2013. The first cover depicts Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) brandishing his Colt Python and a pocket knife. More spoilers have rolled in! As you can see below we have three exclusive covers from Entertainment Weekly! ![]() However, if you are large breasted and require bigger bras (large cup and band sizes), the internet can be an invaluable source. I don't reccomend buying bras online until you find a bra manfacturer that fits you well. Don't be hesitant to experiment with bras up or down a band size or a even cup size. To get the perfect fit you will need to try on a few bras. Finding the right bra size is a bit of trial and error. Use the bra size our bra size calculator gives you as a starting point. So Bali bras will fit differently from Wacoal bras or Warners bras. It's important to remember that bras and bra sizes will all vary slightly between manufacturers. Step 3: Use Our Bra Size CalculatorPlug your numbers into our bra size calculator to find your bra size. Make sure that the measuring tape is straight all the way around and that it isnt too tight against you. Step 2: Bust Size Measure around your breasts at their fullest point which is usually just over your nipples. The tape measure should go all the way around and be snug against you. Step 1: Band Size Measure your rib cage directly under your breasts. If possible, have a friend do this for you. Wearing a bra, stand in front of a mirror to make sure the tape measure is level. I would reccomend buying either a cloth or paper tape measure for this. To find your bra size you will need to take two measurements. The only thing that matters is how YOU feel. Even my non-plus sized friends have the tendency to do the same thing. As a plus sized woman, I know the temptation to pick a smaller band size or cup size. One of the most common mistakes women make is picking the wrong size bra band. The main game mode, Dwarf Fortress mode, is a colony management game that starts with selecting a suitable site from the generated world, establishing a successful colony or fortress, combating threats like goblin invasions, monster sieges, or undead hordes, generating economic wealth and taking care of the dwarves. Before playing, the player has to set in motion a process which generates a fantasy world with continents, oceans, and islands, produced via generative geology and hydrogeology, meteorology, and biogeography, and then fully simulates the evolution of all civilizations down to the lives of their inhabitants in order to yield a coherent world with internally consistent lore and history. The game has text-based graphics (using the CP437 character set) and is open-ended with no main objectives. The game influenced Minecraft, Rimworld, and others, and was selected among other games to be featured in the Museum of Modern Art to show the history of video gaming in 2012. Critics praised its complex and emergent gameplay but had mixed reactions to its difficulty. The primary game mode is set in a procedurally generated fantasy world in which the player indirectly controls a group of dwarves, and attempts to construct a successful and wealthy fortress. Available as freeware and in development since 2002, its first alpha version was released in 2006 and it received attention for being a two-member project surviving solely on donations.

This application also allows me to make video calls without having an internet connection with such high speed, it is enough to have an internet speed of approximately 6mb, so that Skype works perfectly and the call can be fluent.Ĭons: The strongest negative criticism I have about Skype is regarding the file transaction system. In addition, I also like the fact that I can use Skype from my cell phone and be able to make calls from anywhere, this application is completely optimized, it allows me to continue on the call that is in progress even when I change applications, that means that I can make use of more applications while I participate in the call in progress. What I like the most about Skype is that it is a platform that gives me excellent video quality when I make video calls to my work colleagues or video calls to my clients, this video quality has been one of the best I've seen, since It allows me to have fluid communication and it also allows me to have a perfect visualization of the participants of the video call. ![]() Skype has been a very effective platform to develop a totally stable communication between different work groups or with a group of clients. Pros: In our company, the general communication of all employees and also communication with customers is extremely important. For us it is the best method of communication. Overall: Skype is the best platform since it not only allows us to make phone calls, but also video calls and to be able to see and interact with our company's advisors or clients. Instead, we have a forum and, in some exceptional cases, we are allowed to send an email to support, but never a phone call. ![]() Videoconferencing, data transmission and general communication are very important for our company, as it is a very effective way to stay connected at all times, this tool was ideal to meet that need, it has a great reach in communications.Ĭons: In case of a major problem, there is no way to quickly talk to someone in support immediately. It can be communicated with a particular person or with an audience, so that all our consultants or customers have or handle the same information. Pros: It is a very useful work tool, it allows communication in real time, which facilitates any consultation, demonstration, question or doubt, when doing a job or proposing an activity to be done. ![]() Brace your core and make sure your spine is neutral, i.e., your lower back is slightly arched. Adopt the quadruped position with your knees directly under your hips and your hands under your shoulders.Get more from fire hydrants while keeping your risk of injury to a minimum by following these step-by-step guidelines: The other hip rotators are smaller and less known, namely: Like many hip muscles, the piriformis is involved in both external rotation of the hip and hip abduction. Piriformis – this is a deep, powerful hip muscle that can cause a condition called piriformis syndrome when it becomes too tight. Sartorius – also known as the tailor’s muscle, located in the upper thigh, the sartorius is another muscle involved in lateral rotation of the hip. When the hip joint is flexed, these hip flexor muscles become lateral hip rotators. Psoas major and minor are located on the front of your hip. They’re especially active when your hip is flexed, as they are during fire hydrants. Gluteus medius and minimus– located on the side of your hip, these muscles are involved in abduction and external rotation of your hip joint. Gluteus maximus– while mostly thought of as a hip extender, the lower fibers of your glutes also play a part in external hip rotation. The main muscles trained during fire hydrants are: Posterior Hip Muscles This seemingly simple movement uses a lot of different muscles, some of which are pretty small and superficial (deep). The fire hydrant is a bodyweight exercise that involves abduction and external rotation of the hip joint. ![]() 7 Fire Hydrant Variations and Alternatives.And even if you are more interested in performance than appearance, this is still a worthwhile addition to your butt workouts. This simple yet effective exercise is the ideal supplement to all those hip extension exercises you are probably doing. In this guide, we explain why and how to do fire hydrants. While the gluteus maximus IS your largest glute muscle, it doesn’t work alone, and there are several other muscles you need to work on to sculpt the perfect butt. In an effort to build a better butt, a lot of people are focusing all their training on the gluteus maximus muscle, which is your primary hip extender. Everyone, both men and women, want a big, round butt that really fills their clothes. While no bad thing, this did lead to a certain amount of neglect of the other muscle groups.Ĭurrently, thanks to many social media stars and influencers, the butt is the muscle group of the day. Entire workouts, group exercise classes, and even types of training equipment were dedicated to increasing core strength and stability. Not so long ago, core training was THE major fitness industry trend. Theory is structural (arguing that development is governed by That he was interested in knowledge acquisition as a cumulativeĮvent - with new experiences and understandings incorporated Like Piaget, Vygotsky could be described as a constructivist, in He developed his theories at around the same time as Jean Piaget was starting to develop his ideas (1920's and 30's), but he died at the age of 38, and so his theories are incomplete - although some of his writings are still being translated from Russian. Vygotsky has developed a sociocultural approach to cognitive development. He constructed the idea of a zone of proximal development, which are those tasks which are too difficult for a child to solve alone but s/he can accomplish with the help of adults or more skilled peers. Lev Vygotsky was a seminal Russian psychologist best known for his sociocultural theory. In other words, social learning tends to precede (i.e., come before) development. Unlike Piaget's notion that childrens' development must necessarily precede their learning, Vygotsky argued, "learning is a necessary and universal aspect of the process of developing culturally organized, specifically human psychological function" (1978, p. Vygotsky's theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition (Vygotsky, 1978), as he believed strongly that community plays a central role in the process of "making meaning." Vygotsky's theory is comprised of concepts such as culture-specific tools, private speech, and the Zone of Proximal Development. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory views human development as a socially mediated process in which children acquire their cultural values, beliefs, and problem-solving strategies through collaborative dialogues with more knowledgeable members of society. The work of Lev Vygotsky (1934) has become the foundation of much research and theory in cognitive development over the past several decades, particularly of what has become known as sociocultural theory.

Shield dwarves survived a long fall from grace, surrendering many of their ancient kingdoms in wars with goblins and Orcs. If you are playing as a Strength Cleric, then the Gold Dwarf is also the best Race for this Class due to the extra HP and the bonuses granted to both Wisdom and Constitution once again. As such, you will be able to maintain the Spells that require Concentration. For the Circle of the Land Subclass, specifically, the best Race to choose is the Gold Dwarf due to the bonuses to Wisdom and Constitution that allow you to reach 16 each during Character Creation. It also raises the damage you deal using Shillelagh, so it is hands down the Ability you should be focusing on. This increases the chances of your Spells hitting enemies. The culture of their Deep Kingdom values family, ritual, and fine craftsmanship.īest Classes for the Gold Dwarf: Druid and Strength Clericįor the Druid, it is ideal to pick the Race that gives you +1 Wisdom, which is your primary Ability. Gold dwarves are known for their confidence and keen intuition. Racial Features: Dwarven Resilience, Battleaxe Proficiency, Handaxe proficiency, Light Hammer Proficiency, Warhammer Proficiency, Darkvision, ![]() ![]() A layer of the gravel needs to be laid out to provide maximum stability and make the base of the tile even and perfect. The next step is to use a shovel to put fine gravel onto the space created. Uneven ground will not only make installation harder but it will also make the tiles unstable to walk on. It will also help in making the ground even enough to install deck tiles. Scoop up the dirt by the trowel to make space. The square-shaped trowel is extremely helpful to take out the dirt from the area quickly. Remove the top surface of the lawn, somewhere around 4 to 5 cm in depth. Pick up the spade and carefully, remove the top layer of the area you have marked for your tiles. The main job of the installation is about to begin. Once you have marked the edges carefully and hard enough that there are clear marks on your grass, then pick up the tiles again from the temporary position. This step will help in making sure that there is a clear idea of how to lay down the tiles later. Mark the edges carefully for each tile so that you have a clear idea of their positions. The spade will help in marking the edges of the deck tiles that you have laid out. You will need a spade, fine gravel, work gloves, square-tripped trowel, a normal trowel, rubber mallet, and lastly, pliers for lifting.įirst of all, wear the work gloves and grab the spade. The next step is to gather all the tools needed for the installation. Check the distance between each of the tiles and see their final position, if it is satisfactory then move ahead with the next stage. Look at how they are laid out and if the steps between each are enough. Make sure to position them exactly how you have imagined them. Once you have selected your perfect design and are ready to start, take out the deck tiles of your choice and put them on the ground. The first step is to have a blueprint of the design you have imagined in your mind. The Steps to Follow to Ensure Successful Deck Tiles on Grass However, these problems are easy to avoid and not a cause of concern if the installation is done carefully. Achieving the perfect deck tiles on grass is not a job for everyone, as instances of moisture damage and mold growth are common problems people face. If you have decided to install deck tiles on grass, then you need to follow each step carefully to get the perfect deck tiles on grass. After a quick layer of gravel, the deck tiles can be laid down on the grass. A spade will help in marking the edges of the tiles, later the same spade will help in digging the dirt from the area you want to install the tiles in. Then, after selecting the deck tiles of your choice, lay your design or blueprint of the design on your selected grassy area. Make a list of tools to complete this job. However, it is definitely worth the work you put into it. The installation of deck tiles on grass is an easy but tiring job. |
