![]() ![]() A striker within the baseline must touch both the front line and the rear line.For each strike, the player must position the striker within the baseline OR on one of the two circles at either end of the baseline.Both players normally try to cover the Queen in addition to trying to win the game because a player who wins and also covers the Queen receives bonus points. If the Queen is pocketed but not covered, the Queen is returned to the board. To cover the Queen, a player must pocket one of her own pieces immediately after pocketing the Queen. ![]() However, neither player can win until one or other player has "covered the Queen". A player wins by pocketing all of the pieces of their chosen colour first. The two circles are oriented so that the Queen, a white piece from the inner circle and a white piece from the outer circle lie in a straight line pointing towards the centre of the side of the board where the player who will play first is sitting. Both circles should have the pieces alternating in colour. The remaining twelve pieces are positioned around the inner circle of six pieces, so that each outer piece touches the inner circle. Six pieces are put around the Queen directly in a circle, each touching the Queen and their neighbours. To begin, the Queen is placed in the centre of the board. The game is played by two opponents sitting opposite each other. The person who plays first aims to pocket the white pieces. If the opponent guesses correctly which hand, the opponent chooses who goes first, otherwise the player concealing the piece chooses. To decide who goes first, one player should hold a piece concealed in one hand. On some boards, potato starch, chalk dust or other lubricant is used to make the pieces slide more easily over the surface of the board - the most popular lubricant is boric acid. People often own their own strikers which can also be made of bone or ivory and which are normally somewhat heavier than the pieces although can vary in weight from half as heavy to four times as heavy as a piece. The smooth wooden pieces are slightly smaller than the the striker which is between 3.8cm and 4.4cm in diameter. There are nine dark or black pieces and nine light or white pieces plus a red piece called the "Queen". This thin rectangle with circles at either end is called the "baseline" and the baseline nearest to a player is the area that the player's striker must be played from. They should be about 3.8cm apart and the long thin area between them is terminated just before the diagonal foul lines at either end by a red circle of 3.8cm diameter. Outside the circles and a short way in from each side of the board are two straight lines parallel with the edge of the board. In the centre are two concentric circles - the centre circle is the size of a piece, the main circle having a diameter about six times larger. Two lines are drawn on the table along the diagonals. In each corner is a circular hole that can be 51mm in diameter and underneath each hole is a net to catch the pieces in a similar way to a snooker table. A Karom board is a square smooth flat wooden board that can be 72cm or 74cm square and which should be positioned 60 - 70cm above the ground. The following dimensions vary considerably and are given only as an example of a tournament board. ![]()

![]() ![]() Pembrolizumab was the first PD-1 inhibitor approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the first approved for treating previously untreated metastatic NSCLC combined with chemotherapy. ![]() Patients with PS 3–4 should be offered the best supportive care. For patients with PS of 2, platinum-based doublets should be considered and single agent chemotherapy is an alternative. For patients with PS 0–2 and who are contraindicated for immunotherapy, platinum-based chemotherapy doublets are first-line therapies based on histological subtype and organ function. A combination of platinum-based chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (e.g., pembrolizumab, atezolizumab) is the most common treatment approach for patients with PS 0–1, regardless of tumour PD-L1 status and without contraindication for ICI. Monotherapy immune check-point inhibitor (ICI) (e.g., pembrolizumab) is the standard treatment for patients with PS 0–1, tumour PD-L1≥50% and without contraindication for ICI. For non-oncogene addicted mNSCLC, therapy is determined by ECOG PS and PD-L1 expression levels. For advanced oncogene-addicted mNSCLC, using agents such as osimertinib, gefitinib, and erlotinib in first-line therapy is recommended. It is recommended that patients are assessed using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) before starting any treatment regimen. Especially in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), many PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have demonstrated satisfactory efficacy and safety.Īccording to the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), in metastatic NSCLC (mNSCLC), the treatment approach varies between oncogene-addicted and non-oncogene-addicted NSCLC. In recent years, programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have drawn much attention in the fields of tumor therapy ( Han et al, 2020). In progression-free survival subgroup analysis, the results demonstrate no significant differences in PFS by PD-L1 TPS expression level, age, liver metastasis status, and smoking status between tislelizumab plus chemotherapy and pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy.Ĭonclusion: The efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combination chemotherapy were not substantially different from pembrolizumab combination chemotherapy. The indirect comparison showed that there was no significant difference between tislelizumab plus chemotherapy and pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in terms of PFS (HR: 1.04, 95% CI 0.82–1.31), ORR (RR: 0.79, 95% CI 0.59–1.07), the incidence of grade 3 or higher AEs (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.87–1.12), and AEs leading to death (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.23–2.09). Regarding safety outcomes, tislelizumab and pembrolizumab have a higher risk in the incidence of grade 3 or higher AEs (RR tis+chemo/chemo 1.12, 95% CI 1.03–1.21 RR pem+chemo/chemo 1.13, 95% CI 1.03–1.24). Direct meta-analysis showed that both treatment regimens improved clinical outcomes compared with chemotherapy alone (PFS: hazard ratio (HR) tis+chemo/chemo 0.55, 95% CI 0.45–0.67 HR pem+chemo/chemo 0.53, 95% CI 0.47–0.60 ORR: relative risk (RR) tis+chemo/chemo 1.50, 95% CI 1.32–1.71 RR pem+chemo/chemo 1.89, 95% CI 1.44–2.48). Results: Data were abstracted from 6 randomized trials involving more than 2,000 participants. Indirect comparisons between tislelizumab and pembrolizumab were conducted with the Bucher method. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of randomized trials the clinical outcomes included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and adverse events (AEs). Therefore, we conducted an indirect comparison to explore the optimal choice for advanced NSCLC combined with chemotherapy. ![]() However, no head-to-head clinical trial has ever compared the optimal choice. Purpose: Pembrolizumab and tislelizumab have demonstrated significant clinical benefits in first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC.

![]() ![]() Considering the limited battery, it was probably a calculated decision not to include this feature. Neither device has a power bank that allows you to charge phones or other devices via USB. Not terrible, but unspectacular to say the least.īoth speakers charge via an included power adapter, and also feature a 3.5 mm aux input. No such luck! The Onyx 7 still has the same 3,250 mAh battery that is rated for just 8 hours at fairly low (50%) volume.Īt normal listening volumes (70-90%), you get about 5 hours of playtime from either speaker. Having said all that, we were hoping that the Onyx Studio 7 would present a significant upgrade. The combination of a heavy speaker with an unimpressive battery just doesn’t excite many users. Onyx Studio 6, sadly, doesn’t rate well for either. Generally, a bluetooth speaker will score well for battery life or score well for portability. This battery life doesn’t hold up to competitors like JBL Charge 5 (12+ hours on a 7,500 mAh battery), Soundcore Motion+(12 hours on a 6,700 mAh battery), or even the smaller and more portable JBL Flip 5 & 6 (12 hours on a 4,800 mAh battery). Onyx Studio 6 has a 3,250 mAh battery that is rated for 8 hours at 50% volume. ![]() They aren’t the most durable bluetooth speakers you can find, but they should hold up well to frequent use.ĭurability: Onyx Studio 6 (due to waterproofing) Batteryīattery life is comparable between the two devices. In other words, Onyx Studio 6 isn’t the most waterproof portable speaker on the market - but it is much better than the Onyx Studio 7.īoth speakers are built with some plastic construction, aluminum handles, and fabric covering the speaker. This means it is submergible and should be waterproof enough for any recreational use. Many newer speakers add the dust-proof rating, as well. Most of the portable speakers we review have an IPX7 (waterproof) rating at minimum. Unfortunately, the newer device (Onyx Studio 7) took a big hit in terms of durability. Using the controls on the Onyx Studio 6 is tedious, but the Onyx 7 redesign did a good job of correcting this.ĭesign winner: Tie (Onyx 7 for style, but Onyx 6 for function) Durability The button placement is better on the Onyx Studio 7. And each has the same Harman Kardon badge logo. ![]() In addition to the handle differences, Onyx Studio 6 is also lighter than the 7 (by almost a pound).Įach speaker has a 3.5 mm aux input. But for portability, Onyx 6 makes a lot more sense. When the device is being used in a stationary position, I think I prefer the styling of Onyx 7. Onyx Studio 7 has a handle that encircles the speaker, giving it a futuristic appearance (it looks like a planet with a ring around it). The styling is unimpressive with this design, but it is well-built for maximum portability. Onyx Studio 6 has a built-in handle that allows it to be carried like a clutch purse. Whether this is a positive thing depends on personal preference. The new version received a massive overhaul in terms of design. Sound winner: Onyx Studio 7 (slightly) Design If you are paying full MSRP, there are better options at that price. If you can find either of these speakers on sale, they can compete on sound quality with almost any portable speaker in the sub-$200 range. Some users feel the bass is too “boomy.” But again, this difference is only perceptible if you are testing both speakers alongside one another. Onyx Studio 6 actually has slightly stronger bass, but this isn’t necessarily a good thing. Both speakers have total output wattage of 50 watts, if this metric matters to you. This difference will only be seen on side-by-side testing. The max volume output is roughly the same, with the slight advantage going to Onyx Studio 7. In my testing, I couldn’t hear the difference in soundstage or width. Theoretically, the soundstage will be wider as well. This results in a more crisp sound on Onyx Studio 7, especially in the mids. The biggest change with the new iteration is that Onyx Studio 7 has two tweeters, rather than the single tweeter on Onyx Studio 6. Sound quality is pretty similar between the two devices. ~~~ Check Price: Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 ~~~ ~~~ Check Price: Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 ~~~ ![]() ![]() ![]() To redeem your points, the first thing you would need to do is log in to your Spot Club account and select Redeem Points, it is located under your point total.

But it seems my judgement on this was wrong, as a member of the FusionFix team has underhandedly changed the license of the mod specifically to stop this from happening, and ThirteenAG is now publicly demanding me to shut down my open-source fork, in order to replace it with his own 1.0.7.0/1.0.8.0 version that he has purposely made incompatible with other mods that a large portion of the community considers essential for those versions, in a fully transparent attempt to push me and my work out of the modding scene. They themselves do not believe any of what they have been saying, and their only goal is to harm me and my reputation.Īt the end of the day, was I stirring up a hornet's nest by continuing to maintain my fork of FusionFix for 1.0.7.0/1.0.8.0? Yes, but I weighed the risks, and decided that the good that would come out of players being able to play the mod on the best and most popular versions of the game was worth it, regardless of the harassment I would receive by doing so. Over the years, I have slowly started realizing that none of the points they bring up ever even mattered to them, especially when they make up outright lies. They've proven time and time again that even without me directly addressing anything, the smallest displays of light, even joking negativity towards them will come right back to me tenfold as massive drama in an attempt to keep me in silence about this. I have tried to ignore this for years at this point, with the hope that not paying them any attention will make them go away, but not only did this cause me unimaginable amounts of stress and anxiety, but as I learned, that is just sadly not how this works. The process of modding this game is incredibly enjoyable for me, but at some point I realized that no matter what I do, every single mod I release will be met with immediate negativity, harassment and slander. Over the past 3 years, they have called me slurs, attempted to leak my personal information, tried to DDoS me, spammed my forum threads and comments sections with misinformation, spread slander about my mods being malware, shared out of context screenshots from years ago to try to make people distrust me, twisted my words and actions to make me seem like the most evil person in the community, reverse engineered and stole code from my mods, raided Discord servers I was in so they could try to get me banned, on multiple occasions attempted to take these things to other communities such as NFS, and are now fully teaming up behind a large mod and making legal threats. People around ThirteenAG have been trying to ruin my reputation and slowly grind me down mentally for multiple years at this point, with the hope that I'll break, that I will give up, or worse. The truth is, the recent actions are by no means something out of the ordinary. This announcement will undoubtedly be a call for celebration for some, which is one of the reasons I have pushed through for so long. ![]() ![]() This was not an easy decision to make for me, as GTA IV was my childhood, a large portion of my teenage years, even a large part of my adulthood because of modding, and making mods is something I enjoy greatly. With these recent events, I have decided to quit GTA modding indefinitely. I'm sure most people reading this are already aware of recent demands that have been made and the attention it has brought up, with me being subject to thinly veiled legal threats by ThirteenAG, the creator of FusionFix, and the people surrounding him. While I've tried to stick with it through thick and thin, but recently I have realized that the only thing that comes out of it is a continued degradation of my mental and physical health, and frankly, I'm exhausted. I have grown tired of GTA modding and the community surrounding it. Hey everyone, it's time for me to finally break my silence and speak up. ![]() ![]() In turn, its negative cashflow confirms America’s competitive disadvantage for this specific product category but also signals opportunities for improvement.

Logging companies keen to exploit Brazil's rainforest have been accused by human rights organisations of using gunmen to wipe out the Aw, a tribe of just 355. Around 100 remain uncontacted and are very vulnerable to diseases brought in by outsiders, to which they have no resistance. The conservation charity Survival International has called the Awa the 'most threatened tribe on earth'. They remain good natured despite the plight the community faces. It was clear my visit was a source of great entertainment for the Awa. However, the Awá are still one of the most vulnerable peoples on the planet. Each mishap prompted a new gale of laughter from my hosts. In April 2014 Survival’s international campaign succeeded in pushing the Brazilian government to evict illegal loggers and settlers who had destroyed over 30% of their central territory. This is the first time that the Awá have blockaded the railroad on their own initiative and reflects their determination to hold Vale to account. On June 11 a large group of Awá families occupied a section of the railroad which runs alongside their land.Īt over 300 carriages in length, the Carajás train is among the longest in the world, and seriously disrupts the animals the Awá depend on for food © Screenshotįollowing a meeting with Vale representatives last week (June 15), the Awá agreed to suspend the blockade on condition that the company upholds its agreement to mitigate the impacts on the Indians’ forest. The tribe are calling for a meeting with the company and FUNAI, the Brazilian government’s Indigenous affairs department, so that their wishes can be heard and their rights respected. To transport the iron ore, trains that are over 3 kilometers in length regularly hurtle through close to Awá territory. Heads garlanded in feathers and bands of plumes laced. A young domesticated monkey, called a sagui, balances on Amapirawai’s head. The company has moved to expand the railroad, but the Awá say the expansion will increase the number and size of trains which transport iron ore from the Carajás mine to the port of São Luis – and that this will make it harder for them to hunt for food.Ĭarajás is the world’s largest open pit iron ore mine.

This game takes place a couple years after MGS4, and mostly only contains references and enemies from the original series (Geckos and drones from MGS4, Rays from MGS2). This allowed him time for a much more hands-on role in the development of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for PSP (which at the time was intended to be MGS5). The game was (somewhat) unique in that Kojima himself was only working as a support role, rather than being director/producer. For reasons I am not entirely familiar with, Kojima Productions thought that the project wasn't moving forward in the direction they were happy with, and nearly cancelled the project until the reigns were handed over to Platinum. The original game was "Metal Gear Solid: Rising", and was intended to be a stealth-action game bridging the gap between MGS2 and 4. ![]() Personally, it feels weird to play with a keyboard because I usually play different games like that, and it feels more normal to play with a controller, but that doesn't have anything to do with the control scheme. A lot of people think you need a controller for third person action games, but keyboard controls are not bad. In practice, mouse and keyboard works fine, any problems you might find with it is not the fault of the port. It may sound backwards because you'd think the mouse would "look around" but the problem is that you can't aim your slashes as accurately anymore with WASD you would only be able to attack in 3 different angles.Īnother possible advantage is that the keyboard control scheme has separate buttons for certain moves such as dodge, while with a controller you have to press X+A to dodge. The mouse is like the right stick, move it slowly and you change the angle you slash, left mouse button "applies" the slash, and if you move it quickly and it immediately attacks in that direction. Keyboard controls are like this: WASD is like the left stick, it moves the way you look. You can slash very quickly by flicking the right stick back and forth. The controller controls in blade mode are like this: left stick moves your view while right stick aims the direction you slash in (horizontal, diagonal and everything in between), and releasing right stick back to neutral "applies" the slash. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch. ![]() /r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
