The monster punishes the sisters, until Reeka bites a tentacle, thereby injuring the plant, and they escape with some flume. Enraged, she sends her daughters to get the missing ingredient from an octopus-like plant monster that lives on a rocky outcrop near the volcano. Meanwhile Hydia discovers the Smooze was lacking flume. Despite this loss halting the Smooze, the ponies are discouraged by this, but Megan offers the encouragement that another rainbow lies out there. Megan releases the Rainbow of light into the Smooze, but it is swallowed up and lost. Later, two Pegasus ponies, Wind Whistler and North Star, travel to the human world to fetch Megan, the keeper of the Rainbow locket, bringing Megan's younger siblings, Danny and Molly, along as well. ![]() The search party continues its attempt to locate Lickety-Split before the Smooze nearly engulfs them. All the ponies are forced to evacuate as the castle and the surrounding land is submerged by Smooze. Hydia releases the Smooze which rages towards the Dream Castle, trapping Spike and Baby Lickety-Split inside a mountain. Her daughters go and collect the ingredients for the Smooze, leaving out the flume, an ingredient that they are afraid of retrieving. It will also make anyone who is splashed by it grumpy and woeful. The ponies send out a search party to find Baby Lickety-Split and Spike, while Hydia decides to concoct the Smooze, an unstoppable purple ooze that will bury and destroy everything in its path. Meanwhile, Reeka and Draggle try to ruin the ponies' festival by flooding the area, but thanks to the Sea Ponies, end up getting washed away in an overflowing waterfall. She is told off by everyone and runs away, followed by Spike, only to end up falling down a waterfall and trapped in a valley. During the baby ponies' dance performance, Baby Lickety-Split attempts to add her own dance and ruins the whole performance. Meanwhile, at the Volcano of Gloom, a wicked witch named Hydia is planning to ruin the ponies' festival, but her two sincere but incompetent daughters, Reeka and Draggle, are not up to her family's standards of wickedness, and she laments about it, before sending them off to ruin the festival. Elsewhere, Baby Lickety-Split is practicing a new dance step, as Spike, a baby dragon, accompanies her rehearsal on the piano. A ten-part episode from that series, The End of Flutter Valley, served as a sequel to the film.Īt their home, Dream Castle, the ponies are running and playing through flowery meadows and grassy green fields with their animal friends. Produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions, with animation production by Toei Animation in Japan and AKOM in South Korea, the film was succeeded by a television series anthology which ran in late 1987.

Logitech makes it easy to set up its Harmony signature Activities, in which you can program connected products to work together automatically with the push of a single button (similar to IFTTT recipes, which the Hub also supports). In addition to all of the usual suspects in a home theater setup (TV, cable box, and so on), we used the Harmony Ultimate Home to connect to and control a Lutron Caseta Wireless Plug-In Lamp Dimmer ($64.95 at Amazon), as well as the aforementioned Philips Hue lights and Sonos speakers. You can connect up to 15 devices in total. Everything else can be added manually by plugging in the brand and model number of the device you wish to connect there's also an option to add devices that aren't in Logitech's database. You can also use Logitech's Harmony Web portal, which can make adding new devices a bit more convenient.Īfter connecting the Hub to our Wi-Fi network, it automatically recognized compatible devices connected to the network, including a Samsung TV, an Apple TV, a Roku Streaming Stick, Sonos Play:1 speakers, and Philips Hue lights. Setup takes place through the app, which guides you through the process. After plugging in the Hub, you must download the Harmony app to your device. Setup is simple, though there's a bit of a learning curve as you first become acquainted with the Harmony app. The Harmony Hub works Android and iOS devices. The $200 combined price for the Hub and Extender is more daunting than the Hub on its own, but if you have a lot of different home automation devices it could be a very worthwhile investment.Īlso worth noting: You can also pick up the Logitech Harmony Companion, a $149.99 bundle consisting of the Harmony Hub and a much simpler, non-touch-screen remote. That includes GE Link and OSRAM Lightify smart bulbs, Kwikset and Yale smart locks, Enerwave and Nortech switches, and Jasco and Leviton Plugs. While it costs as much as the Harmony Hub itself, the $99.99 Harmony Home Hub Extender adds Z-Wave and Zigbee compatibility, widely expanding what you can control with the Hub. ![]() You can even connect the Hub to an Amazon Alexa voice assistant device like the Amazon Echo, letting you control your different devices with voice commands. It also supports If This Then That (IFTTT) recipes for more custom automation, and you can add Logitech's POP switches to the mix. It can work with many different smart home and automation systems out of the box including Ecobee, Lutron, LIFX, Nest, Philips Hue, and Samsung SmartThings. Home automation makes the Harmony Hub even more impressive. You can even use Bluetooth or IR to connect with wireless game consoles like the Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4 ($499.00 at Amazon), which you won't find on many other hubs. It's a staggering array of TVs, set-top boxes, media streamers, and Blu-ray players. ![]() The compatibility list for home entertainment devices hit over 270,000 across 6,000 different brands when we first reviewed it in 2014, and Logitech has been steadily updating that list ever since. ![]() However your home theater is set up, the Harmony Hub can probably control it. Logitech includes an IR blaster cable, which you can run to nearby components in order to control them even if they're behind a cabinet. It uses Bluetooth, infrared (IR), and Wi-Fi to communicate with your various devices. The Harmony Hub ($69.08 at Amazon) is a small black box that measures 4.9 by 4.1 by 1.0 inches (HWD). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Photo: Marcos Cruz/Vagrant Productions/SYFY It’s kind of like Firefly Yet those chestnuts still feel refreshing when used to portray a relationship between two highly competent women who are willing to do anything for each other. Garrard uses some classic “will they, won’t they” tropes, like having the two characters pressed up within kissing distance while sneaking around, or having Elida repeatedly try to talk Amae out of following her, because she’s afraid the mechanic will get hurt. But there’s a charming budding romance between her and Elida, who wants to protect Amae from danger, but also shows cracks in her hardened persona whenever they’re together. ![]() While references to Valkyrie being bisexual were cut from the film, Vagrant Queen is overtly queer.Ĭhipper ship mechanic Amae (Alex McGregor) is introduced while hooking up with another woman in her shop, and she tends to find someone new to flirt with anywhere she goes. Photo: Marcos Cruz/Vagrant Productions/SYFY It’s kind of like Thor: RagnarokĪlong with being similar to Rey, Elida is also a lot like the version of Valkyrie introduced in Thor: Ragnarok: a fierce, hard-drinking woman running from her past even though it seems inevitable that she’ll eventually reclaim her former glory. By taking its time with that plot, Vagrant Queen provides the nuance the Star Wars sequels were lacking, as Elida struggles with the burden of expectations, and her reservations about trusting anyone. Both are stories of tough, loner scavengers living on scraps, even though they’re heirs to a galactic ruler with terrible power. The show is also filled with wretched dens of scum and villainy, weird-looking aliens, and dangerous monsters.īeyond that, Vagrant Queen also provides a glimpse at what Rey’s plot might have looked like if her connection to Emperor Palpatine was established in The Force Awakens, rather than feeling tacked on in The Rise of Skywalker. (Isaac even points out in the first episode how similar to Stormtroopers they are, as two different groups of good guys dress up in the goons’ uniforms for versions of Star Wars’ Wookiee-prisoner gambit. The show’s primary villain, Lazaro (Paul du Toit), is a former noble cruising around in a ship that looks suspiciously like a Star Destroyer, complete with goons in full body armor. Given that Star Wars is the world’s most famous space-opera franchise, it’s no surprise that Vagrant Queen repeatedly references it. Photo: Marcos Cruz/Vagrant Productions/SYFY It’s kind of like Star Wars Music doesn’t play nearly as big of a role in the show as it does in Guardians, but a karaoke segment in the second episode is the highlight of the season’s first half. The first two episodes even feature a tiny, highly violent dog-man who was invented for the show, seemingly as a nod to Rocket Raccoon. Much of Vagrant Queen’s story involves an extremely powerful magical rock, similar to the Infinity Stone at the center of the first Guardians film. Isaac is faithful to his wife on Earth, so he also isn’t currently engaged in a romance arc, with Elida or anyone else. Freed of that responsibility, Isaac is devoted to comic relief, serving as an audience stand-in who can comment on the craziness of the action around him while making relevant pop-culture references. In an improvement over Guardians, Elida is the center of the story, so the audience doesn’t have to ask why the group’s least competent member gets to play leader. But like Guardians’ far-from-home human mercenary Star-Lord, he’s more prone to messing things up than he is to actual heroism.Įlida’s somber, cautious attitude, impressive combat skills, and complicated family makes her feel fairly similar to Guardians co-star Gamora. Not yours.” He’s become a gunslinging scavenger in hopes of earning enough cash for a ride home to his wife and child. One of Queen Elida’s allies is Isaac (Tim Rozon of Wynonna Earp), an Earth lawyer who’s been stranded in what the show and comic just refer to as “Another galaxy. It’s kind of like Guardians of the Galaxy The series isn’t as memorable as the genre darlings it borrows from, but fans of these works might find something to love in Vagrant Queen’s low-budget, high-octane antics. But she’s added plenty of new characters and plots to stretch the content, building on aspects of the world only hinted at in the source material. Showrunner Jem Garrard put together a fairly faithful adaptation of the comic, channeling Visaggio’s goofy sense of humor and neon-hued psychedelic visual style. As the last member of her royal bloodline, she’s out to survive and retake her throne. The 10-episode first season, based on Magdalene Visaggio’s 2018 Vault Comics series, is set in a distant galaxy, where titular renegade monarch Elida (Adriyan Rae) tries to evade the forces that overthrew her family. Syfy’s space-opera TV series Vagrant Queen feels simultaneously novel and deeply familiar. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One-participant plans or foreign plans must file the Form 5500-EZ.

An attempt was made to repair the incisional hernia that developed by tightening the fascia. ![]() Primary open reduction of the symphysis was carried out and the rectus abdominis muscles were refixed to the bones. We report here on a case of hernia that developed postoperatively after treatment of traumatic pubic symphysis rupture. Refixation of the vertical rectus muscles that have retreated cranially results in preventing development of lower abdominal wall hernia.Ī hernia in combination with a symphysis disruption has been reported very seldom in the available literature. The goal should be reconstruction as close as possible to the original anatomic situation. During fracture reduction, these muscles are fixed to their insertions.

The Data Centers of Icedrive are in Europe (UK and Germany) and the United States. This is why I can confirm that IceDrive is faster than most cloud storage services. I have used various cloud services including India’s DigiBoxx, Sync, Yandex Disk, Dubox, JioCloud, etc. Overall, Icedrive offered some really appreciable speeds for a cloud storage service. I saw the same results while uploading and downloading with zero knowledge encryption. I tried to upload and download an 885 MB video file on Icedrive, and these were the results I received.

(Remember, the best players adapt to their environment but this build will get you where you need to be) Afterwards, I will show the altered build for new unit worlds. Tribal Wars, or Die Stämme as it is known in German, is a browser-based game and was released in 2003 as a text-based game.This guide will start off with the classic world build as that is my preferred world to play. It was developed and released by the German company InnoGames. The game was originally developed by brothers, Eike Klindworth and Hendrik Klindworth, and their friend, Michael Zillmer, before it expanded steadily over the years. The international version of the game was released in 2006. The game is one of the most popular browser based games in the world, ranking among the top ten in number of players. There are over 59 million registered users. It has been reviewed by Gamestar and Forbes. In late 2012, Tribal Wars' mobile version became free for use by all players with improved features, including touch screen and graphical upgrades, which developer InnoGames attributed to a shift to "a higher mobile focus in general."Įach player controls their game from their village. ![]() From the main screen, the player can "visit" buildings such as the village headquarters to construct buildings, the barracks, stable, or workshop to recruit units, and the rally point to take command of units. Each screen can be accessed by clicking on a link, and the vast majority of the game is played through a text based interface. Some players choose to place information such as in-game personal allies, ASCII art, or quotes.Ī large portion of the game revolves around the use of tribes, or semi-official groups of players. These players join together for mutual protection and guidance. The size of different tribes varies from world to world, depending on decisions of the tribal aristocracy (leadership council) and built-in limits on tribe size. Some worlds do not allow tribes of more than twenty-five members, while others have no limit on members. Tribes have the ability to set diplomacy with other tribes and create their own private tribal forum. Tribal diplomacy is non-binding, but any breach of diplomacy is generally frowned upon by other players. The victory of the world usually depends on a tribe-based objective that has to be met. Most tribes are created after the world in question has begun. However, groups of players will occasionally get together before a world starts to coordinate the set-up of a tribe. These "premade" tribes generally have more experienced players, but are not notably more successful than other tribes.Įach tribe can assign a special set of privileges and titles specific to particular tribe members. Some of these titles involve Duke/Tribe Founder, Baron, Recruiter, Diplomat, Forum Moderator, and Council. Titles and privileges are usually given to players of leadership and experience. Furthermore, the majority of these players utilize a non-in-game mode of communication to ensure "effective," and "covert," conversation.Ĭombat in the game is heavily based on statistical attributes of troops, real-time waiting and attacking villages. A player can send their troops to another player's village either to reinforce or attack it. In the case of attacking, casualties are determined based on the number and type of troops sent, and factors such as morale and luck. Attacking troops who survived will then return to their original city with the plundered resources, should they be present in the city at the time of the attack. ![]() ![]() ![]() In order for a player to conquer other villages, a unit called a nobleman must be sent to attack a village and survive. After a successful attack the nobleman decreases the village loyalty anywhere from 20 to 35 points (out of 100). When the village loyalty falls to zero or below, the attacker takes full control of the village. Troops can be recruited for use in combat at the barracks, stable, and workshop, while noblemen can be created at the academy and a paladin can be created at the statue. In some worlds there are weapons that the paladin can equip. These weapons usually enhance certain troops abilities, most commonly attack or defense statistics depending on the weapon. ![]() |
