12/31/2023 0 Comments Lumen reviews![]() I have completed extensive endurance training for many years (UK Ironman) and so I should be mostly fat-adapted. I stopped late-night eating and introduced slightly longer fasting periods which together made a material difference and I lost 1kg quickly. I tried to lose a stubborn 2kg half-heartedly for a while Lumen helped me prove what worked. Both are good and give you easy access to your carb & fat-burning state and the Apple app also logs carbs. Lumen has an app for Garmin watches and another for the Apple Watch. You see exactly what is happening with your body and the food you consume.Ī lot of thought and effort has gone into the friendly-looking smartphone app and it is also good at guiding you towards a flexible, keto-style diet. You might have previously counted your consumption of carbs and calories or you might have looked at your fitness watch to see estimates of fat/carb/calorie usage based on effort levels but you’ve neverhad any idea about your body’s true ability to burn fat at any given time of the day. This is important, new information to all of us. It then takes 2 weeks for Lumen to understand your metabolic flexibility which is your ability to switch quickly between different fat/carb-burning states. Lumen gives immediate feedback on your fat-burning state (metabolic state) and, after 4 days of readings, Lumen mostly knows your breath signature and how it varies through key events in your day. It takes a minute to complete both of those and ‘tag’ the result in the app. The Lumen ‘breath analyser’ is simple to use and for each rested, check-in breath you will usually need one reading plus a verification reading. How well you burn fat is critical to helping you lose weight more quickly and critical to becoming a good endurance athlete. ![]() Use code “ MOMRUNNER” for an extra discount.Lumen measures your FAT and CARB burn. Want to check it out for yourself? The Holiday sale is going on now. If you are looking to take a look int how the foods you eat and the exercise you do affect your metabolism, Lumen is for you. I still have much to learn and explore about all the features and benefits Lumen can provide. Not all calories are equal and I enjoy the feedback in this area. I am using Lumen in conjunction with tracking macros on my fitness pal and this yields great insight for me. I found the information to be very useful and on point with my fitness goals. On days with more intense or longer workouts, Lumen would advise me to fuel differently. The more information you can give Lumen (testing a few times a day) the more accurate information you get back. I found the pre and post exercise fueling suggestions to be very useful for me. Ideally, you are looking to wake up in a fat burning state and start refueling for your day. When I ate a meal with higher carbohydrates in the evening, my morning reading would be higher. My readings from my Lumen confirm that fact. I realized over the last few years that my body does not process carbs as well as it used to. Lumen can also be integrated to work with both Garmin and Apple watches to give you even more insight into your day. Tracking your metabolic flexibility can help with diabetes control, consistent blood sugar levels, exercise performance, and recovery. Important to note that while Lumen can assist with sustainable weight loss, there are many other benefits as well. ![]() This information can then guide you on how to fuel both before and after workouts to obtain the results you are looking for. Lumen will analyze your breath and give you instant feedback on whether your body is currently in fat burning mode or carb-burning mode. However, you do get great feedback right from the start. It takes at least a week of using it consistently to get actionable information. You will be prompted to breathe into the Lumen device a number of times per day to get an accurate reading of your current metabolic state. Install the app and enter some basic information. It looks a little like a breathalyzer and works in a similar way. Lumen is a handheld tracker that measures the CO2 in your breath to give out information on your metabolism. This is turn, helps you to gain a better understanding of how the foods you eat allow your body to switch between burning carbohydrates and burning fat. The purpose of the Lumen tracker is to teach you and your body to increase your “metabolic flexibility”.

On all versions he may also drop an Ale Tosser upon death, allowing the player to perform the same attack. When threatened, he throws mugs of Ale at enemies, dealing 24 / 36 / 42 damage at the start of the game, and (on the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version) as players progress he will gain various stat increases. ![]() The Tavernkeep will give each player 5 medals for free, to buy their first sentry all future medals must be earned by defeating at least some waves of the Old One's Army. The armor he sells also associates each sentry type with a specific class: Ballista for melee (tank-style), Flameburst for magic, Explosive for rangers, and Lightning Aura for "speedy melee" (for summoners). Each of the Tavernkeep's sentry summon weapons come in three tiers: rod, cane, and staff, with the staff being the most expensive and the most powerful. They function elsewhere only after the event is completed once successfully. The Tavernkeep's sentry summon weapons are associated with the Old One's Army event, and at first can only be used within that event. Similar to other bound NPCs, talking to him allows him to claim a house and respawn when killed. Once this criteria is met, he will appear as an Unconscious Man spawning in any layer of the world. He will only become accessible after the player has defeated the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu. The Tavernkeep is a unique NPC vendor that accepts only Defender Medals as currency for most items, instead of coins. 12/31/2023 0 Comments Friendly for facebook ios download![]() NEW: Open in friendly option for copied links NEW: Friendly Defender panel (Shield icon in top bar), better Ads and Trackers blocker NEW: Preferred browser setting with support for Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Brave.

Ring Gears have been completely recoded, don't drain rings when taking type shortcuts anymore, start with rings, and much much more. Gravity Dive Rings left behind from someone Gravity Diving now give GP when they're used to make up for any lost Meteorburst Objects. You are now able to Attack other people in Boost State! You also gain GP (Rings for a Ring Gear) for every other character you hit, even if they aren't Boosting. As such, Power Type can now Boost through Power Objects. ![]() Charging jump Cancels your Boost, allowing you to take your Type Shortcut with a Fly or Speed Type.

All gears can inherently slipstream off of one another instead of it being exclusive to Yachts. The Gear Changes that used to give shortcuts now give stat benefits instead.

You can use these textures in game via Dolphin Emulator by going to Documents -> Dolphin Emulator -> Load -> Textures and creating a folder in there called "SRZE8P".Īfter just place the textures in the folder that you want to use and make sure Dolphin has Load Custom Textures ticked in it's configuration. It is recommended that you use this texture pack, as the functionality of several Gear Changes have changed and this texture pack helps better represent what they do. They host content for both games in the form of tournaments, speedrunning, textures, competitive discussion, and modding. NOTE: This game is only compatible with a controller configured as a GameCube Controller in Dolphin Emulator, or an actual GameCube Controller on hardware.Įxtreme Gear Labs is the community for "Sonic Riders DX" (a mod for the original Sonic Riders) and "Sonic Riders Regravitified". This mod is for the Wii version of the game, primarily played via Dolphin Emulator, however does function on hardware with some restrictions. The mod also incorporates a variety of quality of life improvements, in addition to dyrastically speeding up the gameplay. I liked Sonic Riders too & even replayed it 21 times total but I doubt they'll make a sequel since a decade has passed since it's release while Sonic & All-stars Racing is still fresh, the new generation remembers it & likes it, they'd get the most profit if they made a sequel for that.Sonic Riders Regravitified is a competitive-aimed mod, and major rework to the systems of Sonic Riders Zero Gravity. Sega is planning to move on & try new things instead of repeating Sonic Riders or Sonic Adventure, if they were to repeat the same games over and over again, it'd get boring. They'd just find something to rant about, they'd say they want 2D games instead or something. I do agree with this but the fandom won't be happy even if they delivered us what you have stated. They've been making Sonic more and more linear, and simplistic, when the main appeal of Sonic has always been replaying and getting better. Sonic team seems to think that people don't like getting better at games and want to do things perfectly the first time, when really that's just game journalists. Games that take actual skill to master, and stories that shows the writers actually care about these characters. Originally posted by Dark1412:I doubt the fandom would be happy with anything anyway lel.Įven if Sega gave you guys Sonic Riders remake or whatever, you'd say "We want S&ART remake" or "We want SA3" or "We want Sonic Heroes remake" -.- Sonic Fans have a hard time articulating what they want, but we all want the same thing. 12/30/2023 0 Comments Over the horizon![]() He noted that in each of those other places, the United States had nearby bases and some local partners on the ground, such as friendly militias, who provided essential human intelligence to verify signals intelligence and other forms of standoff surveillance. operations in Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Iraq, even West Africa in the Sahel, this is by far the hardest counterterrorism campaign to operate,” Jones said. defense official, who calls the Biden administration’s assertions about currently having over-the-horizon capability “fictitious.” The forthcoming challenge in Afghanistan “is unlike anything we’ve seen in any other theater,” said Seth Jones, a counterterrorism expert and former U.S. Even when it had thousands of troops on the ground in Afghanistan, Centcom did a poor job of differentiating terrorists from innocents, according to civilian organizations that closely tracked those efforts, and often it did not even bother to investigate civilian deaths. Central Command-which will be saddled with the main counterterrorism task in Afghanistan-has had a mixed record at best over the last 20 years. What is just as troublesome, experts say, is that U.S. military and intelligence community are scrambling to fulfill President Joe Biden’s pledge to fight terrorists from “over the horizon” in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan-but by their own admission, they still don’t know whether they can track or thwart that threat. ![]() Radar Range calculator Radar PRF vs Range Radar Range Resolution Cellular Telecommunications Tutorials - RF Wireless World RADAR tutorial Doppler Radar FMCW RADAR RADAR BANDs RADAR SCOPE Weather Radar Ground Penetrating Radar System RADAR RANGE and RESOLUTION Radar calculatorsįollowing are useful radar calculators to calculate radar range, radar PRF, radar resolution etc. There are two separate antennas used in OTH radar one for transmission and the other for reception.
