In accordance with common practice of the time, Lefevre, who was a French-Canadian fur trader, married a Native American woman- Marie’s mother. Marie’s father was a skilled trapper and trader by the name of Lefevre of Gascon. They brought with them many of their French traditions, including devout Catholicism. Many French-Canadians had moved to Detroit in decades past, and now they were beginning to disperse. ![]() He was a prominent early settler to Frenchtown. Marie Lefevre was born around 1783 at a small fur-trading settlement known to outsiders as Frenchtown along the River Raisin just east of Detroit, Michigan. To better understand Marie’s world, regional events that would have affected her life are also included. The book’s historical accuracy is scrutinized because of Frances’ obvious embellishments however, for their traces of truth and to better illustrate Marie’s life, select stories from Frances are included. Frances wrote her book in 1907, over four decades after her grandmother Marie’s death. Frances lived with her grandmother and mother Rose for over a decade at the Bailly Homestead. Much of her life’s story is anecdotal, gleaned from her granddaughter, Frances Howe, in her book, The Story of a French Homestead in the Old Northwest. In fact, because of her ancestry, she was omitted from federal censuses. She resolutely oversaw the family and homestead on the Little Calumet River for more than 30 years after the death of her husband, raising their children and grandchildren in an ever-foreign world. ![]() ![]() Part Odawa and part French, the highly respected and traditionally skilled Marie “Mo-nee” Bailly lived through rapidly changing times she experienced shifting control over the Northwest Territory and the detrimental effects of manifest destiny on Indigenous American peoples.

![]() The charm of Worms Reloaded, and the series in general, lies in its simplicity. ![]() Reloaded includes all of the content included in the original Armageddon XBLA release with the additional content that was released on the Microsoft Marketplace as well as many completely new and original features that have never been seen before. The new game, available exclusively (currently) through Valve’s Steam service is a beefed up version of Worms 2: Armageddon for the Xbox Live Arcade. It seemed as if Team 17 had finally managed to rekindle the original magic of the Worms’ series and the popularity started to grow once more.Īll of those events led us to 2010 and Worms Reloaded for the PC (and in development for MacOS). The XBLA release was quickly regarded as the best iteration of the series in years and heralded for its return to the 2D style of the origjnal. The series bounced around from publisher to publisher over the years, until finally landing back at home with Team 17 for the 2007 Xbox Live Arcade release of Worms 2: Armageddon. In an attempt to reinvigorate the series, the developers attempted to move the series into the third dimension with 2003’s Worms 3D needless to say the reception was nowhere near as great as the original. In short, many felt that the series was growing stale and that the game releases were simply minor updates to previous installments and not worthy of entirely new releases. Although the series was critically acclaimed early on during the mid- to late 1990’s, concerns regarding the lack of meaningful additions and changes to subsequent versions grew with every release. In recent years though, the popularity of the Worms’ games has dwindled, almost to the point of obscurity. The series has been around for 15 years now and has hit almost every console imaginable. When it comes to the Worms’ series, you either love them or you don’t rarely have I seen a middle ground when discussing the series with other gamers. I told me *** the Birkins and cars are cool Nonetheless, Latto does not let up on the bars, defining her role as an artist in this industry, and a powerful woman in real life. She addresses those both here, which goes into the theme of the original song. Throughout Latto’s last album, she mentioned the difficult relationship she had with her father, and loosing some of what she thought were her closest friends when she began to blow up. She seems to be a lounge-like studio in Atalanta, and showcases scenes in a strip club, and a lot full of Lamborghinis. Aside from that, she wears a white matching sweatsuit and long, blonde hair. Latto mentioned it was from her birthday photoshoot, and if I may, Beyoncé wore it years ago, and plenty more have done it since. In the cover, Super Gremlin Freestyle, there were no ‘It’s Giving’ lyrics, but she did wear the outfit being critiqued. But, even since then, Latto shared her cover to Kodak Black’s song, and mentioned she is never too famous to cover some of the greatest. There is always the chance that her team brought the sound to her, and she did not know about it. The term It’s Giving, is one of the more popular sayings and quotes at the moment, however, the beat did sound a bit close. Some were even suggesting that the look was stolen, due to a previous photoshoot that Big Indo had done, where each of them were wearing diamond and bejeweled lingerie sets. She reposted a TikTok that Latto shared, where she assumes this is a new song of Latto’s, where the beat and lyrics were stolen from Indo’s own track. The artist accusing Latto of stealing song lyrics is named Big Indo, who recently dropped a song It’s Giving Me. It does not seem like Latto is phased by the negativity, however, as she continues to impress with each and every new style that she brings. The timing is just days after celebrating her 23rd, birthday, and shortly after being accused of stealing song lyrics from another up-and-coming female artist. This time, she has jumped on Kodak Black’s trending instrumental from Super Gremlin. ![]() Please follow our site to get the latest lyrics for all songs.Big Latto has come through with another, big remix.

Performance test scenariosįirst of all, we select the test scenarios that are required to be performance tested. Following is a step-by-step guide to plan and execute a load test. Planning and execution of a performance test require a different set of activities that are common to every performance test irrespective of the tool we use. This helps in knowing the upper limit or the break-even point to which the application can handle concurrent users without getting crashed. With stress testing, we can check the robustness of the application at a workload higher than expected. Helps in checking the robustness of the application.This also helps in finding the adequate infrastructure/server requirement for the system.

Helps in checking the reliability of the applicationĭifferent types of performance tests are conducted to check if the application is reliable and provides correct and consistent output.Want to know more about the performance testing types in detail along with examples, check our tutorial – Performance Testing Types. Now, this can be done either by inserting a high volume of data in the database or depending on the application or functionality – uploading a large file for processing. In Volume testing, we feed the application with a large volume of data. This helps in checking if the application can recover from any issues after the sudden spike in the number of concurrent users. Spike testing includes subjecting the application to a sudden burst of virtual users. This helps in uncovering the memory leakage issue in the application. ![]() In endurance testing, the application under test is subjected to continuous load for a long duration like 2-3 days. This helps in measuring the break-even point of the application – the load at which the application doesn’t respond correctly.Įndurance testing is also referred to as ‘Soak Testing’. Stress testing is a type of performance testing in which the performance of the application is evaluated under a load much higher than the expected or anticipated load. throughput and the error rate observed during load test execution.

The internet-famous red wine-poached pear visited Anda Hotel, but after drinking the wine, quickly posted a video criticizing the hotel and giving it a bad review. On the other hand, two brothers with their own thoughts – Xu Mingchen and Philip – were at odds with each other, with hidden meanings in their words. The Xu family held a welcoming banquet for Ding Nana, and Lu Fenfen and Ding Nana hit it off, surprising everyone. Lu Fenfen personally cooked steak for Xu Mingchen and they drank and talked about their feelings in the gentle breeze, and their emotions continued to heat up. Xu Mingchen accidentally stumbled upon Lu Fenfen taking a bath and she screamed. When the man passed by, she sprayed it fiercely… She became scared and turned a corner, taking out the anti-wolf spray from her pocket. Lu Fenfen quickened her pace, but the man also walked faster. Suddenly, she realized that a man was following her from behind. The path had no streetlights and she felt a bit uneasy. In order to get home early, she took a shortcut. On her first day of work, Lu Fenfen worked overtime until late. Within a day, the thorn in Lu Fenfen’s side, Bai Bing, appeared in front of her and went crazy with anger. This time, she directly entered the management level for the final interview and finally joined Anda as a wine steward in the VIP lounge. “Unlucky” Lu Fenfen tasted the feeling of a new lease on life and received an interview invitation from Anda Hotel again. Xu Tianran (Xu Mingchen) encouraged her, saying that it’s okay to encounter setbacks and anyone can start over. She returned to her apartment and wanted to move out of the city. Lu Fenfen, who was feeling down, made a mistake at work and directly resigned to her boss. Lu Fenfen scored the highest in both the written test and the blind tasting, but in the final round, Bai Bing pretended to sprain her ankle and poured a small bottle of transparent liquid into Lu Fenfen’s sobering cup when no one was looking, causing Lu Fenfen to be eliminated in last place. The preliminary list was announced at the opening ceremony, and besides himself, Lu Fenfen also heard the name of her college classmate Bai Bing. The one who best fit the theme would win. The two brothers parted ways unhappily.Īt the opening ceremony, Philip announced the selection process for the master class, with the theme of “going home”.

Philip was also touched by the girl’s sincerity and eagerness to learn, and the two became more and more compatible as they talked.

Words like "direct box", "balanced", "low impedance", "crossover", etc. Many have replaced that powered mixer with separate components and added a snake to allow for a mix position in the listening area. This being said, the metal inside of the splitter's jack will "break in" over time and become easier to use while still maintaining a strong connection.If your band, school or church's sound system has evolved along a familiar path, what started out as a pretty simple, small group, "sound-on-a-stick" has gradually become more and more sophisticated. This is because we want to make sure the connection between the jack and the microphone plug is as secure as possible - we know how important audio recordings are to court reporters. The first few dozen times you insert your microphone into the MIC jack of the splitter will require more force than usual. Please note that the MIC jack of the splitter is VERY tight fitting. We offer no guarantee on these splitters when it comes to laptop brands other than Lenovo, however they have been known to work with most laptops as well as most mobile phone devices. ![]() There is nothing we can do about this as it is a hardware setting and is not something we can change. Some model ThinkPads are known to have reduced recording volume if your microphone is not battery powered. Some ThinkPads that have the combined jack and that are running XP do not work with the adapter, which is a software issue and not a defect of the adapter. This adapter has been designed and tested to work with all current Lenovo ThinkPad computers with a combined audio (VOIP) jack running Windows 7. ![]() Once you do this your external microphone will work properly and your playback will run through your headphones. Just plug this adapter into the combo jack, then plug your microphone into the cable labeled MIC and your headphones into the cable labeled HEADPHONES. We have designed this adapter cable to solve this problem for court reporters. However, if you plug a microphone into the combo jack, the external microphone will not only NOT work, but it also disables the computer's internal microphone as well as the internal speakers because the computer thinks there are headphones plugged in. If you plug headphones into this new "combo" jack, they work. The problem for Court Reporters who have these systems is that you cannot use an external microphone with these systems. The reasoning behind this is due to the influx of VOIP (Voice Over IP) companies, like Vonage and Skype, who have developed headsets that use a single jack instead of 2 jacks so that you can use a special headset to listen and speak. ![]() The latest computer models from leading manufacturers are following suit with the iPhone and Skype trends by combining the traditionally separate headphone and microphone jacks into a single jack.

So, where I am not saying disregard the law of averages, I am saying that it shouldn’t be taken as a hard and fast rule. We would also expect 2 to only be rolled twice, but in reality it came out a whopping 7 times. If the law of averages was completely fair at low numbers, we would expect is for 7 to come up most often, when in reality 6 did. Although theoretically, they will not come up as often, they may come up a lot.To prove this point, I have just rolled two D6s (a red and a green) 80 times to simulate a game. Instead, it isn’t always a bad move to start on 5/9 or even (if you feel like dancing with the devil) 4/10. Rolling the dice 80 times will not give accurate results so far as averages are concerned, and what this means is that 8 and 6 (as all seasoned Catan players know) are not guaranteed to come out most often. This results in, in a four-player game, the dice being rolled 80 times.Although the law of averages is a mathematical law that helps govern the universe, it assumes large amounts of data to draw an average from. Don’t Get Too Bogged Down By The Law Of Averages. So, according to one Quora post, the average game of Settlers of Catan (or just “Catan”, whatever you want to call it) lasts for 20 turns per player.Place a settlement there and you shouldn’t regret it. What this means is that if there is a 6 or 8 on a grain, you should definitely go for that grain. As you can see, although ore and grain are both needed about the same, grain (or wheat, whatever you want to call it) is useful for the most. The way this works out is like the table above. ![]() Cities are the only way of getting points in the game with more than one resource of a specific type. It’s not 100% as simple as that with development cards, but it is close enough to make no odds when talking about the initial placement.įor settlements and cities, you need 4/1 and 5/1 resources to points. Yes, you could get largest army in this as well, which would be 15/3 points which is better, but the odds are against you. At three resources a piece (sheep, grain, and ore) this means you will need 15 resources to get a potential one victory point. This means you need 5 cards on average to get a victory point. So, you have a 1/5 chance to pick a victory point card. Somewhere like this for the first placement in Catan won’t hurt.įor Development cards, there is 15/1 ratio – namely, there are 5 victory point cards in the deck of 25 cards. You start off with two roads, which brings this down to 13/1, but this is still not a great investment. This is a 15/1 ratio (well, 30/2, but we’re simplifying) of resource to points since you need both a wood and a brick to build said road. Let me explain.In order to guarantee two points with roads, you have to build 15 roads to ensure you get the longest road. Instead, grain has the best resource to point ratio. Believe it or not, Catan is not a balanced game when it comes down the resources. Go For Wheat/Grain.Wheat/Grain (whatever you want to call it) is the most valuable resource in Settlers of Catan.Okay, so the easiest way to explore this is probably through bullet points, so let the bullet points commence! So Where Is The Best Place To Start In Catan? You can find that article here: Catan Strategy: 8 Different Ways To Start. Since publishing this article, I have written a second article going into more detail about specific starting strategies. Obviously, the tiles are random each game, so it’s impossible to give definite rulings as to where to place however, we can use a little bit of mathematics and psychology to come up with a few guidelines as to where is best to place your starting settlements and roads. In the meantime we all slowly die of boredom and stare longingly at empty Pringles packets, wishing they were full again. We’ve all been there, with one player taking three days to pick a position that they believe will be the most optimal place to start. The problem is, it can be so difficult to figure out where to start in order to have the best opportunity to score points early in Settlers of Catan. It is widely regarded as the resource trading game, and has won more awards than Kanye West has diamonds in his teeth. Launched in 1995, and designed by Klaus Teuber, Catan (better known by its former name: “Settlers of Catan”) now graces the shelves of board game lovers all over the world. |
