Toast opens today (20 October) and will donate all proceeds from its launch to the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust charity. There are even toast-based desserts with slices paired with dutch apple pie peaches and cream and marinated strawberries with whipped rosewater ricotta.ĭiners can also order four ‘toast-less’ dishes including butternut squash, thyme, honey and goats cheese and honey mustard chicken with baby gem, tomato and asparagus. ![]() The duo created Toast out of the desire to branch out and launch their own restaurant concept.ĭishes include toast topped with spiced chicken thigh with honey yoghurt and rocket sesame chilli prawns and cheese with baked egg and truffle oil. The menu offers five varieties of bread, including a gluten-free option, topped with all-day breakfasts, lunches and desserts.Ĭarr has teamed up with manager Justin Orange, who met the chef while working at Manchester’s Teacup Kitchen cafe, for the project. The aptly-named Toast in Altrincham is headed up by chef Edward Carr, who has cooked at The Fat Duck, Dabbous and Eleven Madison Park, which took the top spot on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list this year.

![]() Finally, it was shown that the offset model built on static data did not perform as well as models inferred from dynamic data, which indicates the speed- specific nature of the models. The influence of gait phase on tap event likelihood and accuracy was demonstrated for all input techniques and all walking speeds. Index finger pointing techniques demonstrated overall better performance compared to thumb-pointing techniques. The results show that all performance parameters degraded when the subject started to move, for all input techniques. We examine the influence of these factors on the machine learned offset model used to correct user input and we make design recommendations. In this paper, we analyze the influence of walking speed, gait pattern and input techniques on commonly used performance parameters like error rate, accuracy and tapping speed, and we compare the results to the static condition. Unfortunately, much of the published research in mobile interaction does not quantify the influence of these variables. In everyday life people use their mobile phones on-the-go with different walking speeds and with different touch input techniques. Finally, the paper proposes several methods of choosing symbols and weighs the benefits of each method according to evaluation results. The adaptation is formally specified using timed Petri nets and evaluated on a group of users, aiming at producing components that can be re-used without the need for further evaluation, thus enabling rapid development of new applications without the need for real user testing, due to the nature and availability of AAC users. The paper proposes initial automatic adaptation of AAC application user interfaces that is performed only once and then distributed across AAC applications through a specialized AAC platform. Due to complex, and often very individual, communication needs, such persons need the ability to quickly adapt graphical user interfaces according to their needs, skills, impairments and possibilities. Support of ICT in Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) has been recognized as the key enabler of better inclusion of persons with complex communication needs into everyday life. ![]() Well now the fog has cleared, and we now know that Craig Hopson has stepped in as executive corporate chef for the Chin Chin brand, with Ren Nisenbaum acting as executive chef of BBCM. Taking over the former Cravings space, BBCM was at the center of much speculation after LLC documents pointed to the corporate headquarters of Chin Chin, the longstanding Chinese fusion restaurant across the street. Overall, a bit on the pricey side but I think it's worth it! More.BBCM, short for The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker, has opened its Sunset Boulevard-facing doors in West Hollywood. Famous latte art: Their popular latte art is so darn beautiful but the taste of the coffee is mediocre-nothing special. Tip is to make a reservation if you're planning on going on the weekend. My friend stayed 20 minutes after his time was up and got a parking ticket.Service: All of the staff I've encountered are really nice and friendly except for one and this person happens to always be my server! Haha Atmosphere: It gets CROWDED on Sundays. Plenty of parking if you get there right when they open. Serving size looks small but after the potatoes, you'll fall straight into a food coma. The dish also comes with potatoes that are perfectly seasoned. The bread they use is different than the bread at other places. Hands down the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. What to order: If it's your first time here and you're unsure of what to order, I'd 100% recommend the eggs Benedict (both salmon & pork belly are bomb). Lots of good chunks of smoked salmon, shrimp, squid, scallop with a very yummy dill sauce. Their seafood omelette on a skillet, was really good, that too. Their side of bacon though soo crispy, I'll reorder those in a heartbeat. With a side of breakfast potatoes, which were decent as well as the poached eggs. However, their avocado toast left much to be desired and in comparison with others, the avocado didn't stand out and the flavor lacked a bit of snap. Their vanilla latte with the signature colorful latte art, impressed, and photogenic. I also had the lemon tart with pistachios from their dessert area, and that one was OK to me. I tried the parmesan leek croissant from their bakery side which tasted really good. It was busy on a weekday brunch, and service is pleasant, though I just wanted a little bit more from some of the food options. The setting is great, especially the yellow booths inside.Īlso free parking in the back, of this plaza. This place is highly appealing, I mean the name alone is awesome. I'll be be back to try again for sure! More. ![]() Overall this is a great new spot and I would high recommend trying out. I wish I would have tried a bit but I was enjoying my dish too much to try hers. It had thick cuts of pork belly which look very yummy to me. I got a salad as my side and it definitely needs it with something as rich and decadent as this main dish.My wife ordered the Cubans with looked very tasty and she enjoyed. The hollandaise sauce was very tasty and the biscuits went very well with everything. It was a little salty but I didn't mind it. I've gotten fried chicken eggs Benedict at several place and have never really been impressed but this place was delicious. He made sure our water was always filled and was very friendly.As far as food goes, I ordered the eggs Benedict with fried chicken and it was excellent. The service was amazing and the gentlemen who looked after the dining area was exceptional. I've only come here once, but had a great experience. ![]() Very excited to try this place as we come to the area to see movies across the way quite often and didn't really like any of the options in the past. ![]() The film became a major blockbuster at the box office, and received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Later that year, he was seen reprising his role of Troy Bolton in High School Musical 2 (2007), which aired on the Disney Channel in August 2007.Įfron reprised his role of Troy Bolton in High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008), the first film in the High School Musical franchise to receive a theatrical release. The film became a major commercial and critical success upon its release in July 2007. In his subsequent musical films, Efron did his own singing.Įfron was next seen playing the role of Link Larkin in the musical comedy film Hairspray (2007), based on the 2002 Broadway musical of the same name. Efron's singing talents were disputed when it was revealed that his voice had been blended with Drew Seeley's on the soundtrack, but Efron clarified that the songs (written for a tenor) were written before he was cast and therefore did not suit his more baritone vocal range. The film's soundtrack was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA, making it one of the best-selling albums of the year in the United States. The film, which also starred Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu, and Monique Coleman in pivotal roles, became a major success and helped Efron gain recognition among teenage audiences. The film, which has been described as a modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, saw Efron playing the male lead Troy Bolton, a high school basketball player who feels conflicted when he finds himself interested in participating in the school musical with Gabriella Montez ( Vanessa Hudgens), a girl from the scholastic decathlon team. He also appeared in some films, including the Lifetime television film Miracle Run (2004), for which he earned a Young Artist Award nomination for his performance as one of two autistic twins.Įfron's career reached a turning point with the teen musical television film High School Musical (2006), which premiered on the Disney Channel in January 2006. For the show's second season, which aired in 2005, he was promoted to the main cast. In 2004, he began appearing as a recurring character in the first season of the WB series Summerland. Career 2002–2009: Early career and High School MusicalĮfron at the 2007 Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice AwardsĮfron began acting in the early 2000s with guest roles on several television series including Firefly, ER, and The Guardian. He also attended Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, a theatre company operating out of Allan Hancock College, a community college located in Santa Maria, California, where he performed in 20. Įfron graduated from Arroyo Grande High School in 2006 and was then accepted into the University of Southern California but did not enroll. ![]() Efron was later signed to the Creative Artists Agency. He was recommended to an agent in Los Angeles by his drama teacher, Robyn Metchik (the mother of actors Aaron Michael Metchik and Asher Metchik). He performed in shows such as Gypsy Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up Little Shop of Horrors and The Music Man. Efron subsequently worked in the theater The Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville, and began taking singing lessons. Įfron has said that he would "flip out" if he got a "B" and not an "A" in school, as well as that he was a class clown. His paternal grandfather is Jewish, and Efron has described himself as Jewish, though he was raised agnostically and did not practice religion as a child. Efron has a younger brother, Dylan, and a younger paternal half-sister, Olivia, and had, as he has described, a "normal childhood" in a middle-class family. His father, David Efron, is an electrical engineer at Diablo Canyon Power Plant, and his mother, Starla Baskett, is an administrative assistant who also works at Diablo Canyon.
![]() These moments are few, though, and even the more meaningful quests have no lasting effect outside of giving you new gear – no change in how you interact with the city or its people. It’s just a brief glimpse into the world Aiden’s risking his life for. Nearby, I found a rooftop camp where a small crowd had gathered around a storyteller excitedly recounting the legend of a famous Nightrunner who fought for survivors and gave them safe places to live in the city. It’s a strange juxtaposition that speaks volumes about life in Villedor and the struggles its people face, arguably more so than the drawn-out water tower fight in the game’s first half. ![]() ![]() He admits he’s been feeding a massive infected in the hopes of using its blood for the coloring and asks you to kill it for him. One side quest, for example, involves a timid painter asking for help obtaining the right shade of red. The pacing picks up significantly once you gain more freedom to explore, as does Techland’s worldbuilding: faction conflicts grow more desperate and destructive, the disturbing facts behind Aiden’s trauma become inextricably tied to the city’s fate, and the narrative ends up going in a direction that – while not entirely unexpected – is still satisfying and well executed.Īs spectacular as the later game’s setpieces are, it’s the quiet moments that stuck with me most and made me wish Techland had opted for a more refined approach to Dying Light 2 overall. The bigger city is infinitely more interesting in its layout, and exploring it is an absolute treat during the day (and a tense thrill at night). You can see the game open up for you in this moment, it’s just a shame it took so damn long. When you finally enter the city, the first view of downtown Villedor is stunning – you glimpse it from a skyscraper’s rooftop garden, right before hurling yourself off the edge and hoping your paraglider works as intended. The events propelling Aiden into both Dying Light 2’s second half and Villedor proper are surprisingly gripping after those languid opening hours. With its shallow quests, illusion of choice, and endless distractions, it seems – initially – like the worst kind of open-world filler.Īnd then suddenly it isn’t. The actual result of this on-boarding is a sluggish narrative that sends you back and forth across the region’s five same-y sectors to the unending chorus of pings alerting you to a nearby encounter or loot stash. The idea is seemingly to introduce you to a condensed version of the city’s struggles and give Aiden a large parkour playground to learn in. The same goes for the broader story and characters – especially in your first few hours confined to the district of Old Villedor. I’d like to have seen Techland go deeper with its new protagonist, and perhaps develop him as much as it developed Villedor itself. To the story’s – and Scott’s – credit, you as a player still feel a connection with Aiden despite never really getting to know him properly. We see through Aiden’s eyes, yet we never have a chance to understand who he is. However, his characterisation and Jonah Scott’s excellent vocal performance make that easy to overlook.ĭespite some strong work on the character to begin with, one of Dying Light 2’s biggest sins is Aiden himself. ![]() The balancing act is a bit messy, as Aiden’s broader goal often gets lost in the moment-to-moment drama in the city. Aiden has his own mission connected to horrendous experiments he and other children were subjected to by the GRE, but gets pulled into Villedor’s struggles during his journey. Into all this leaps Aiden, Dying Light 2’s hero and Techland’s answer to complaints against Kyle Crane’s static personality. The primary focus is Villedor itself, though a gigantic city that’s both prison and home to tribes of infected humans trapped behind its walls, vying for control over land and resources. While the original game suffered from a paper thin story, it’s evident Techland put more thought into creating an interesting world with its own rich backstory for the sequel. The GRE’s downfall is a well-worn zombie trope, but it gives Dying Light 2 a greater sense of substance, at least. The fortunate cities, such as Villedor, suffered chemical bombings and a descent into anarchy, as first one governing body then another disbanded and left everyone else scrambling to survive. The Global Relief Effort (GRE) – Dying Light’s callous group of researchers ostensibly trying to find a cure for the zombie infection – succumbed to the temptation of power and plunged the world into another outbreak. Kyle Crane saved the city of Harran in Dying Light, and you quickly learn that amounts to nothing. ![]() If you haven’t been walking regularly and you attempt to go straight from a sedentary lifestyle to running, skipping the walking parts, you’ll increase your risk of injury. M ake sure you can walk for 30 minutes at a time before trying to run. But most people will need longer than 12 weeks, and there’s nothing wrong with that.Ĥ. The opposite is also true: You can skip stages or combine them and get through the program in fewer than 12 weeks if you’ve been a runner at some point in your recent past. But you can also slow it down to take as long as you need, spending two weeks or longer on certain stages until you feel comfortable at each level. This is a gentle progression from 30 minutes of walking to 30 minutes of running in 12 different stages. Therefore, it's safest to run with people in your bubble who you know have been vaccinated and following COVID-19 protocols: social distancing and wearing masks when indoors. However, you want to make sure that the person you're meeting up with is either vaccinated or has tested negative for COVID-19. Running with friends is one of the most fun parts of the sport. You don’t have to do this alone, but it's safer to start out with someone in your immediate bubble. » Shortness of breath or difficulty breathingĢ. If you suspect you have COVID-19, stop exercising and get tested. If you have the following symptoms, definitely wait until you feel better.Īccording to the CDC, people with these symptoms may have COVID-19. ![]() If you’re ill, this is not the time-as the world deals with the Delta variant and the yearly flu season-to introduce even small amounts of running into your routine. Don’t attempt a new exercise program if you’re not feeling well. Here’s what you should know about the program overall, with caveats as we still navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.ġ. The below schedule was developed in 2011 by Budd Coates and published in the Runner’s World book Run Your Butt Off!

This prompted Clay to polish and elaborate on the system at hand and make it what it is today - something to share with the rest of us. Over the next couple of weeks, six of the twelve people emailed Clay to tell him how much of an impact his introduction framework had - and how it changed everything. He experimented with various frameworks to improve his approach on a personal level, but began sharing what he developed with others during a presentation to a group of startups at the behest of entrepreneur Andy Ellwood. And I felt sort of like Chris Farley in those old SNL skits where he slaps his forehead.”Ĭlay walked away from that interaction determined never to make such a poor introduction again. I sort of didn’t recognize him because his social profiles aren’t primarily his face and he kind of had longer, wet hair that day, so it didn’t jump out exactly who he was. It was Matt Mullenweg, the founder of Automattic and creator of WordPress, the software that powers about 30 percent of the Internet! Here I am, chatting up one of my Internet heroes. “And in that moment, I sort of realized who I was talking to. What is it? Maybe I’ve heard of it.’ He said, ‘It’s called Automattic.’ What do you do?’ He said, ‘I run a little software company.’ I said, ‘Well, I’m into startups. So then I said, ‘So what’s your name? What do you do?’ He said, ‘Well, my name is Matt.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s cool, Matt. I realized, as I was doing it, that it wasn’t very confident. I think I covered where I grew up and my favorite flavor of ice cream and I just went on and on and on. ![]() “I sort of rambled on and on, and I realized…I almost saw myself as I was doing it. ![]() said, ‘Hey! What’s your name and what do you do?’ I introduced myself the way most of us introduce ourselves all the time - which is not in a prepared way.

When asked what we do by these new acquaintances, most of us have terrible, rambling, non-confident answers - and Clay Hebert of Crowdfunding Hacks confesses he once did, as well. 80,000 opportunities to make a good first impression…but we rarely do. One study says we meet three new people a day on average - that’s over a thousand in a year and more than 80,000 in a reasonably spanned lifetime. Editing Someone Else’s Game/Editing Crossroads It probably didn’t help that I was going back and forth between operating Project Spark on my computer’s touch controls and my Xbox One controller. I noticed it was generally difficult to figure out how to go back one step anywhere in Project Spark, and I got stuck a lot. However, although “Learn to Create” is mostly very clear, I had problems getting through it on my computer’s touchscreen without getting stuck and having to start over from the beginning. Going from Edit mode to Test mode is so fast that you can immediately see the results of your experiment.” I would agree with that. More importantly, though, it teaches you to develop games one step at a time and that it is really safe to try new ideas. The tutorial teaches the basics of how to find features and which buttons to press. “Community member” Mescad (who is really more like the King of Community Members and a One-Person Support Dervish), says, “If you are unfamiliar with programming or games in general, it is really important to go through the “Learn To Create” tutorial at least once. There are SO many ways to make games in Project Spark! Which is both a very cool thing and a problem. Using Project Spark as a Game Creation Engine Yeah, don’t hire me to create your world. In Project Spark, the most open world-building mode is called “Start From Scratch.” It lets you create worlds from a collection of items in a toolbox. Project Spark is somewhere in between a graphical computer language like Unreal Engine and the simpler level-creation systems in games like Minecraft and LittleBigPlanet. In Project Spark, the building capabilities of games like Minecraft and LittleBigPlanet are pumped up into something more powerful. They build whole cities out of blocks in Minecraft and new game levels in LittleBigPlanet. The sand is bits and bytes and the tools are chunks of code that kids combine and mold to build amazing creations. ![]() Nowadays kids indulge those same creative impulses in games-games like Minecraft and LittleBigPlanet and now Project Spark. ![]() Yup, we made villages and kingdoms with real sand and water and garden tools or sticks and our hands. When I was a kid, I played in a real sandbox. The home screen for Project Spark gives you three main choices: play games created by Team Dakota and community members, create your own games & other stuff, or buy things like upgrades, skins, weapons, and additional characters. |
