The so-called incredible feats I performed can actually be performed by anybody if he knows the training procedure and is prepared to train hard for them. Thanks for your e-mail and the kind words you said about me. Please advise me as I need help.ĭuring a sparring session att the Special Taijiquan Course held in July 2002 in Malaysia, Anthony Spinicchia uses a Taijiquan pattern called "Low Stance Single Whip" to counter Jeffry's kick I find it hard to go on in the realm of martial arts. Grandmaster Wong, my heart is heavy and my soul is weary. I believe he would not even and remotely close to you. I cannot but wonder how the most skilled person in Singapore would fare against you. I understand that you, Grandmaster Wong, have performed incredible feats, as described in your webpage. What is the use of practising martial arts then? Where are the really useful moves when you need them? Where is the true essence of the martial arts we practise? A person who has practised martial arts for more than twenty years cannot even defend himself against a few men with parangs and broken bottles. This incident shook my confidence of martial arts. He was brutally attacked and killed when he was caught in the middle of a gang fight, and he was only a passer-by. However, all these arts failed a 7th dan taekwondo instructor when he needed it most. They also help a person keep fit and rank among the most physically demanding sports. The various martial arts have excellent techniques and if executed properly, could attack with deadly force. They seem to lack a certain amount of "essence". Some include ninjado, northen shaolin boxing, taekwondo and nam wah pai. I have observed various types of martial arts. There is something which has bothered me for quite some time. But for various reasons, many people lack the knowledge or the patience to do so.ĭuring a sparring session at the Intensive Shaolin Kungfu Course in Toronto in July 2002, after deflecting an attack from Emiko, Eugene is about to execute a low punch in a typical Shaolin pattern called "Precious Duck Swims Through Lotus" It is only sensible that if one wishes to fight like what a Shaolin exponent would do in the past, he or she must train the way a traditional Shaolin disciple did. Skipping over a rope and lifting weights, prancing about and donning boxing groves are not traditional Shaolin ways to develop force and train sparring. If you merely learn kungfu form, but have never learnt how to develop force and how to spar, you simply have no force and cannot spar no matter how long you might have trained in kungfu form.įorce training and sparring practice have to be approached methodologically and systematically. The reason is simply that, in my opinion, they have never learnt kungfu as a martial art as it was traditionally practised in the past. (Please note the point here is not their fighting ability, or whether kungfu is better or worse than other fighting arts, but whether kungfu students use kungfu to fight.) Nevertheless, today an overwhelming majority of those who say they practise kungfu, in both the East and the West, either fight like children or use karate, taekwondo or kickboxing techniques to fight, but not the kungfu techniques that they may perform beautifully in solo practice. Kungfu that cannot be used for fighting is no longer kungfu at best it is merely a demonstrative kungfu form. Yes, there is no doubt that kungfu, if practised correctly, can be used for fighting. Your question touches on the essence of kungfu. I saw at an international competition participants of various styles fight like children. This special issue of the question-answer series focuses on the topic. Many readers have asked whether kungfu can be used for combat.

Solution 1: Nvidia G Sync or AMD Free Sync If your GPU is capable of running these games but you’re using a monitor with a lower refresh rate, this puts you in danger of screen tearing. Some games have a much higher frame rate and may run at 120 fps or even 240 fps. When the game starts rendering more frames than your monitor can display, that is when screen tearing occurs.Įven if the game you’re playing has a frame rate of 60 frames per second (fps), sometimes it may render more. However, your game may render more than 60 frames per second (fps). This means it can display 60 different frames per second. For example, if your monitor has a refresh rate of 60 Hz, that means that it refreshes 60 times per second. The main reason this happens is that the frame rate generated by the game you’re playing is running higher than the refresh rate of your monitor. Screen tearing happens when your graphics card and monitor fall out of sync with each other, resulting in the top part of your monitor showing one frame while the bottom part shows a different frame. Any of these options should eliminate any screen tearing, so the choice is yours which you prefer to try. If you don’t want to tinker around with these options, there is always the option to buy a new monitor with a higher refresh rate. Commonly recommended are Nvidia G Sync or AMD Free Sync and Nvidia Fast Sync or AMD Enhanced Sync, but another solution, if you have an Nvidia graphics card, is the third-party tool NVIDIA Profile Inspector. We have a few solutions you can try to stop screen tearing without V Sync. You may have been recommended to try V Sync to fix screen tearing, but V Sync has its downsides. It can be extremely distracting and can ruin the experience of gaming. How can you stop screen tearing without V-Sync? Screen tearing is an irritating issue you may have encountered while gaming. Life is your friend and is trying constantly to provide situations where you must choose to take the role of the observer (the true self that resides within) and let that uncomfortable feeling pass through you. The author is trying to show you that you are capable of such ecstasy and that it is within you. Perhaps it is the introvert in me that loves it. I particularly like the allegory provided in the book about the person that lives in his house and gets so used to it he forgets that there is such a thing as outside. The untethered soul: the journey beyond yourself dares to mention depression as one of the negative effects of a heart that has been closed for far too long. Detailed Book review of The Untethered Soul The way I understand it, energy could only be seen in the form of happiness and motivation. You hold on to certain experiences in your life and the more that you hold in to, the less energy at your disposal. The untethered soul is one that never closes, Closing is the concept of refusing an experience to pass through you. Small things like when your boyfriend fails to respond to your text message immediately should not upset you but should be allowed right through your heart. The message is clear, ‘Do not close!’ Stop worrying about the myriad of things that bother you. It is an incredibly easy read and was well written. The untethered soul: the journey beyond yourself consists of 19 chapters all in 5 parts with a page count of about 200 pages. If however, you are more of a reader, free versions are also available online. I was able to read it on audiobook on YouTube for free.Īnother option for the free audiobook is on Audible, so if you are like me, then this is available for you and the reader is quite alright I must confess. I, however, can only speak on the biblical ones as they are the ones I am familiar with. In the untethered soul: the journey beyond yourself the author is found quoting scripture directly from the bible and many other spiritual books. I believe that the Untethered soul: The journey beyond yourself is a religious book. Read: Moonwalking with Einstein Summary | Book Review 2021 Where can I Read the Book The Untethered Soul It is just about as good to be true as you can imagine. The cover page is a horse running freely on a beautiful beach. In fact, according to the author, an untethered soul is free from all boundaries and limitations, it soars beyond and gives peace that he calls ecstasy. The Untethered Soul is described as the true self. The Untethered soul reminds me of this concept. It has always struck me as odd that anyone would be happy whilst they suffer. The entire book of Philippians in the Bible is about rejoicing in suffering. I had the ability to control everything I needed for tracking in PT remotely from behind the drum kit or in the vocal booth, and then somewhere along the way I update PT to the next version (I have a perpetual license), and it suddenly doesn’t work with my 12.9” iPad Pro anymore? And Avid admits it’s currently not compatible with the bigger iPad Pro (the flagship of the iPads)? Why would you ever update a product in a way that would adversely affect or remove pre-existing functionality that many of us deem critical on a top-of-the-line device where it previously worked flawlessly? Has anyone heard of regression testing over there? What really stings though is that I’m paying Avid for these regular updates, and in return I’m being forced to take a step backwards due to either incompetence or a lack of understanding/caring about their customers’ needs. Used to work with 12.9” iPad Pro, now it’s not compatible? If you are still having issues please post on our help forum where you will definitely get support from both me and other users. There are multiple guides on how to setup this up and they include instruction for the most popular DAW's too. Hi.I'm actually the guy that designed and manages all Avid Control Surfaces. It’s a shame Avid isn’t very helpful to the people using their products, and annoying hat their ’developer responses’ here are snarky and defensive. And their customer support is unavailable as it’s always been, or only for ‘annual contract’ subscribers. There is very little information from Avid to help with setup. I log in to my avid account, then nothing happens. The instructions say to open the app and follow the instructions. I’m sure it’s great, but I can’t connect. I haven’t been able to figure out how to setup the Avid control app. I’ve been using the artist mix for about a year now and it’s awesome (when it’s able to connect). * Please see Avid’s Control app support page for a full compatibility list.

There were choices that led to different cutscenes and scenarios. That’s not to say that our decisions and performance had absolutely no impact on the tale. It’s a line that I’ve made fun of on several occasions, because it implies far more control over the narrative than we arguably had. How does that tale hold up after revisiting it all these years later? Let’s take a look back…way back…ĭuring the prologue of that very first M圜AREER story, your player remarks “No one will tell my story but me”. At the same time, I have been critical of the story-driven approach, and NBA 2K14 is where it all began. Indeed, if I’d given it more of a chance, there’s a strong possibility that I would’ve spent more time with it and played through a season in M圜AREER, which had become my mode of choice. While I do stand by many of my criticisms of NBA 2K14, I have come to appreciate it more during some retro gaming sessions. As I explained when I revisited the game for a retrospective, there were a few factors that put me off NBA 2K14 before I even played it, and when I did get my hands on it, I wasn’t as impressed as other basketball gamers were. There’s a reason for that: I didn’t play much of NBA 2K14 when it was new. This week, I’m taking a look back at the very first M圜AREER story, featured in NBA 2K14 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.Īlthough I’ve written many articles about M圜AREER stories, and spoken at length about the topic on the NLSC Podcast, I’ve yet to cover the very first M圜AREER story that appeared in the PlayStation 4/Xbox One version of NBA 2K14. You’ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content. Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general. This does hurt your rep, so it might be wise to make a second character to do this glitch with.This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia. All you need to do earn VC from here is just quit out of the game as soon as it starts. Head to a 3-man Got Next Spot and then start the game. Basically, to do this glitch you just need to go to the My Park mode. It also kind of ruins the game for others as it requires that you quit out of the game almost as soon as it starts. However, this glitch will ruin your online record and reputation. The second method to farm VC in NBA 2K16 involves the My Park online mode. This glitch nets about 600 VC every game you simulate. The only time consuming part of this glitch is that it takes a few minutes to load each game, other than that there’s nothing stopping you from getting unlimited VC in NBA 2K16. Rinse and repeat over and over again to farm VC in NBA 2K16 (until 2K patches this one). The game is not supposed to reward you with VC, but apparently this glitch is still rewarding players with the currency. Once it loads up and you complete the tip-off, just simulate it to the end. Simply load up your My Career in NBA 2K16 set-up your games for Hall of Fame Difficulty and either 6 or 12 minute quarters. So how do you get this VC you ask? Let’s start with the My Career VC Glitch first. Well it turns out that there are a few ways to get seemingly unlimited VC in My Career and My Park modes. The currency is used to level up your player and get you new gear. Earning VC in NBA 2K16 can be a time consuming process. Have you been waiting for Paint The Town Red to hit a final version to come out or have you been enjoying the title up until this release? Do you think it would flow well as a VR title or will it all work best as it is currently designed? What different style of gameplay do you think we will see hidden in the mix as we have for SUPERHOT here? Let us all know what you are thinking and expecting here down in the comments. A PC-exclusive online co-op mode allows up to 4 rowdy brawlers to make a bloody mess in Scenarios or pummel the Elder Gods in Beneath mode together.

Fight to the bloody end in the Arena mode, with an endless mode for warriors to push themselves to the limits. Uncover the mysteries of this shifting, procedurally-generated world, and defeat the four Elder Gods.Ĭause mayhem in Scenarios mode, a series of themed sandboxes where brawlers must kill ‘em all and let the Elder Gods sort ‘em out. Pick from five different classes with distinct stats and abilities, such as the nimble Spectre who possesses the ability to teleport, and the stalwart Vanguard capable of healing allies. Tackle the roguelike Beneath mode, working for a clandestine organization that stands against undead terrors and eldritch horrors in a subterranean world.

Originally released in 2015 to Early Access, version 1.0 of Paint The Town Red evolved from a violent voxel sandbox into a deeply customizable action experience. Paint The Town Red, the first-person brawler with sandbox combat levels and a massive roguelike mode from South East Games, bursts out of Early Access where more than 400,000 bruisers created carnage, and onto Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5 and 4 on Thursday, July 29, alongside the debut of 1.0 on Steam for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux. Just before the end of the month and we will see so much more red out there. Have a look at the new bits we will have for the game and then get ready to download and play it all soon. Even if it does feel like Paint The Town Red could work well as a VR title instead of what we are getting here already. Even with the block-style visuals that the game will be hosting. Via different classes and a few other options that will have us using all items in the game to do just what the title suggests. All with a few more modes and styles to mix into it all too.Īs you will be able to see below for Paint The Town Red, it is a different style of roguelike that will have us beating down all kinds of foes across all kinds of locations and times. So, at least some of you out there will have some knowledge of how it is all going and what you might expect to see here. The same time the update to the 1.0 version will be out there for Paint The Town Red for those that have been hammering through this Roguelike since it first hopped onto the scene. It has been in an Early Access form for quite some time now and South East Games is ready to drop the full version of the game on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch, and PC on July 29 th now. It has been a long time coming and now we will be seeing Paint The Town Red hit a full release on us all here this month. The final release for Paint The Town Red is now set down for when Paint The Town Red will leave the Early Access phase In everything else, I think these headhones are worth it. The reason why I left ★★★✰✰ 3 stars is undoubtedly because of the microphone. I have thrown them accidentally maybe twice in all the time. What is now in disrepair is its protector of the cottons, on the top and on the rings of the two speakers but I guess that is normal, with time. The LEDs are still working, although I do not really turn them on. I remember that at the beginning it was somewhat inconvenient to use them but in a few weeks I had no problems. I do not think they're damaged in that sense, they are so strong that sometimes I use them as a speakers and also are perfectly configurable with audio programs like Bongiovi DPS or Dolby Access, both are pretty good for these headphones. Anyway, I still like the sound of these headphones today. I do not recommend buying if you are also interested in the microphone. And yeah I wanted a microphone at the time. That was disappointing because the main reason I bought these headphones was because of reviews I saw on the internet saying I had a good microphone despite the price of it. Your voice is literally not heard and if you raise the volume of the microphone, literally the static is heard more than your own voice. I think maybe even it was always in a bad state, i mean, a damaged microphone. The only thing I did not like about these headphones was his micrifono. I just wanted to know how much time I have with them and when I got here, I realized that I can still qualify, that's why I leave this to you. I'm about to buy other headphones, although these are still working.

The final fight between Primarchs Leman Russ and Magnus is truly a clash of titans, yet one that can only have a winner. Of course there are other forces at play, the same that got Hauser to Fenris in the first place, and that might have been working in the shadows for decades so this Council actually happens. The Council of Nikaea is at the center of the story and plays a key role on the events that are about to unfold. For most of the novel we will get a different insight though, not of bolters roaring but of the Wolves in the Rout, the Fang, and of their ways through the eyes of an outsider named Kasper Hauser. Not even the psychic mastery of the Thousand Sons stand a chance against the Emperor's deterrent once their fury has been unleashed. And amongst them, the Space Wolves outstand as the most ruthless and dangerous of them all (Abnett dixit).
