Spike's star sign is Cancer, which fits with his inability to let go of the past. Despite that, he usually encourages others to forget the past as "not important", particularly Faye, who has amnesia for the majority of the series. Following the implant of an artificial eye, he says his left eye, the real one, sees the present while the right synthetic one sees the past, making the past indelible in his mind, not allowing him to get rid of or forget it. One of the recurring themes surrounding Spike's character is how he views himself and his life. However in a conversation with Faye, he admits to not want to die because of "the hate to." He considers he already died once therefore doesn't show the slightest fear of the possibility of being killed, often acts as if to challenge death, so to prove he is still alive. He appears to be tormented by the ghosts of his past and has frequent nightmares of his life in the Red Dragon. He usually behaves phlegmatically and walks slouching almost as if he is sleepwalking. However, there are exceptions in the movie, he becomes very excited when fighting Elektra, saying he loves the kind of woman who can kick his ass. Spike is rarely seen excited about something and, even less frequently, says he likes something. He is also a heavy smoker, being shown with a cigarette in his mouth in practically every shot. In a few rare occasions, he is also seen reading or practicing Jeet Kune Do, a martial arts practice he is very skilled in, being among other things passionate of Bruce Lee films. He passes the vast majority of his time on the Bebop lounging, watching TV, or sleeping. Spike is a slothful, listless, indifferent, and lazy person. ~ Spike and Vicious talk about their similarities Spike: I've bled all that kind of blood away. The same blood runs through both of us, the blood of a beast that wanders, hunting for the blood of others. Do you have any idea what you look like right at this moment Spike? His outfit consists of an all-blue suit and trousers with a yellow shirt underneath. He is usually dressed in a blue leisure suit, with a yellow shirt and Lupin III inspired boots. A flashback in Session 6 revealed that his fully functioning right eye was surgically replaced by a cybernetic one (although Spike himself may not have conscious recollection of the procedure since he claims to have lost his natural eye in an "accident"). He has fluffy dark-green hair and reddish-brown eyes, one real and one artificial. Spike is 27 years-old and tall and thin in appearance.

Today, there are many Korean children facing discrimination in Europe and America. There were low adoption rates in Korea and those that had babies out of wedlock were humiliated. Out of over 200,000 Korean children being separated from their families since the end of the Korean War, 99% of those were children of single mothers in their teens and early 20s. Well, after the Korean War, many families could no longer afford to raise a child and the government had no money for a social welfare system. Children Sent Abroadĭuring the 1970s and 1980s, Korea sent countless young children abroad for adoption.Īt that time, Korea was called the "baby exporting country".Ī man by the name of Matthew in Episode 9 represents one of many Korean children who were adopted abroad. It is a heartwarming, yet tearful story of forbidden love that tackles the struggles of LGBT in Korea. It shows a touching scene of Ian grieving their beautiful memories shared together. Geu-ru manages to find the lover, Ian, and meets up with him. When he asks his parents about it, his dad goes ballistic. His parents want his belongings to be taken away and this is when Geu-ru stumbles upon a love letter written by the doctor to his lover, a man who moved to America for a music opportunity. In Episode 5, the characters are assigned to clean the room of a young doctor that was killed in a hostage incident. In other words, Korean funerals are not only for the deceased but also for the ones still alive. People try to make funerals as busy as possible and more often, it's to give support to the people who had a closer connection to the deceased. In Korea, funerals usually go on for a few days before everyone tries to return to their normal lives.Īt the funeral, not only will relatives and close friends come to pay tribute but also workplace colleagues and acquaintances will make an appearance to try to raise the spirits of those that have lost a loved one. This scene captures the unique funeral culture in Korea. He tries to make the place more crowded with people that come to pay their respects even though they may not have had a relationship with him. Geu-ru tries to get more people to come to the funeral through an older man they meet who's an old work acquaintance of the deceased. Sang-gu explains that he wanted to take it for the deceased as he found it sad that there wasn't one for him. In episode 6, Geu-ru shouts that there is a thief when Sang-gu tries to take a flower wreath. The show also incorporates some real incidents that happened in Korea and tackles a few social issues. She has had feelings for Geu-ru ever since they first met when they were children. In the beginning, she is suspicious of his uncle Sang-gu's sudden presence in Geu-ru's life. She is Geu-ru's best friend and neighbor who helps him run his business. Portrayed as a loving father, he taught his son everything about his job from a young age. He rescued Geu-ru as an infant when working as a firefighter and he adopted him into his family. He was the founder of Move to Heaven before his death from cardiac arrest. Jeong-woo is the father of Geu-ru and Sang-gu's older half-brother. Sang-gu is an ex-convict who becomes Geu-ru's guardian after being released from jail.ĭespite his blunt personality and rough past, he cares for Geu-ru deeply and gains a new outlook on life as he works as a cleaner for Move to Heaven. He places their most treasured belongings in a box and always tries to pass it on to their families. He is very smart, logical, and has an incredible memory which helps him uncover stories about the deceased when cleaning out their belongings. Geu-ru is a 20-year-old with Asperger syndrome who works as a cleaner at Move to Heaven. Let's dive into the characters and actors who all gave stellar performances to bring the story to life! Geu-ru The plot continues as they uncover stories about the deceased while Sang-gu deals with his dark past with Geu-ru's father and the traumatic experience that landed him in jail. Their company is referred to as a 'trauma cleaning' company that helps families clean the belongings of those who have passed so they don't have to deal with the pain of tossing out their things. The show revolves around a 20-year-old named Geu-ru who joins his ex-convict uncle, Sang-gu to run the family's company, Move to Heaven following the death of his father. Let's go through its plot, the characters, some real events in Korea that inspired the story, and the filming locations together. It is a tear-jerking series that will have you reaching for the tissue box throughout each episode. The series explores the difficult reality of what it's like to lose a loved one and the agony of those that have been left behind. The highly reviewed Netflix series Move to Heaven released on May 14th. With a $30 price tag and support for Windows & Apple OS, Astragon is now vying for market share of the PC simulator space.Today we are releasing the newest version of Construction Simulator 2015, which will bring you several bug fixes and some smaller features. If iPad gaming really isn’t your thing, stay on the lookout for Construction Simulator 2015 which is planned to release mid-November on Steam: Did I mention it’s only $1.29? What’s next? If you’re looking for a simple and fun game to help you pass some time, you can’t go wrong with Construction Simulator. The best part is that you don’t have to know a thing about construction or building to play. If you can get past the lack of physics, often frustrating touch controls - not an issue with the game itself - and IAP options you’ll really enjoy yourself. If you can look past that flaw - which might seem like a silly gripe to some folks - then you’ll love the game.Īll in all, Construction Simulator 2014 is a really fun game despite its minor quirks. Then again, this is a simulator we’re talking about. It can be a little distracting, especially when you know a large truck would easily plow over a fence, or sign in real life. There are no simulated physics pushing any of the objects to react. Bumping into signs, light posts or various objects will just get you stuck. You’ll notice pretty quickly that the world is stale. This is a mobile game so it’s excusable, especially since it’s still a lot of fun. My final gripe is with the in-game world itself. The virtual joysticks take up a lot of the screen and can really get in the way - and they’re difficult to maneuver when they’re smaller in size. If you have the option, play the game on an Android tablet or iPad. In addition, the controls can be a bit of a problem on smaller screen devices like older iPhones and Android handsets. Part of that is because of a remarkably poor English translation that certainly leaves a little something to be desired in terms of language. Once you figure out what the game is asking though, it’s a quick fix. Some of the mission instructions and goals are a bit vague, which can create some confusion at times on how to proceed. If you use the vehicles at your disposal wisely to complete the various tasks assigned, you’ll have no problems getting through each mission. The Rest of the GameĪs you can see, Construction Simulator 2014 is a pretty simple game. There are more expensive tiers, but you can decide whether you want to spend money on those if you play the game. $1 of real cash will get you 200,000 game coins, which is enough to buy one of the larger vehicles. You can earn money by completing missions and tasks with the free vehicles, or you can spend some real cash to take the easy route. However, you need to purchase them with in-game money before they become available. The other vehicles available are much larger in scale and often have a few extra features and options. These can be used to complete most of the early missions in the game. The good news is that you don’t have to use real money to progress, and the game never throws IAP prompts in your face. In Construction Simulator’s case, you pay $1.29 up front. Personally, I loathe IAPs, especially when you spend money on the base game. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be a mobile game without in-app purchases. You’re also free to move around the confines of the mission area, regardless of the vehicle you’re driving. If you find it difficult to complete a task with a vehicle, you can switch to another on the fly. In this regard, Construction Simulator’s world is semi-open. Once the game begins, after the first few tutorials, you can swap between vehicles as you see fit. For example, in one mission you might be expected to transport lumber with a forklift, move the rest of your construction materials with a flat-bed, dig out an area for a foundation with an excavator and more. For each mission you are given control of various real-wo rld construction vehicles, and you must use them to complete a set of tasks. Not GTA-style fun, but more like Bejeweled-style fun, which can also make it addicting. The game definitely has its quirks, but the most important thing is that it’s just plain fun. The Short Version? Construction Simulator is Fun Astragon is also the creator of Farming Simulator which came out for XBox360 and PS3.Īs with any game, the first question that comes to mind: Is it worth playing? Let’s take a closer look and find out. So you might see “ bau” instead of construction in the pics below. As a German game development shop, Astragon Games has mixed their German name for the game in with the English version. Numbered streets originated in the United States in Philadelphia by Thomas Holme who laid out the original plan for the city in 1683. In general, a street number’s purpose is to help people understand where they are and how to get to where they want to go. A mailman can easily figure out where to deliver your mail by checking which house corresponds with the number on your mailbox or package sticker. Street numbers also serve as a means for addressing mail and packages. Sometimes it’s just a way of differentiating between two roads or dividing one road into two sections. In some cities, street numbers were originally used as tax identification numbers. The purpose of a street number is to make it easier for emergency responders and public safety officials to find the location of houses, businesses, and other structures on a particular street. Street numbers help to keep track of buildings and other structures on a particular street. They’re a visual representation of our place in the world and help us easily find our way. What is the purpose of a street number?Ī street number is one of the most important features of modern cities. In addition, streets are generally numbered even on the north and west sides and odd on the south and east sides. Under the house numbering system, houses are numbered so that odd numbers go on the left side of the street and even numbers are on the right side. Street numbering systems are used in most countries around the world and can be subdivided for administrative purposes into zones (such as residential districts) or blocks. The system of assigning numbers to streets is known as “Addressing”. It allows residents, business owners, emergency responders, and others to find it quickly and efficiently. It acts as a map and reference point for the location of that property or building. A street number is a numerical identifier assigned to a property or building in an urban area. So, for DIY enthusiasts, this is not a dealbreaker. But then you will bump up against the duty cycle. If you are welding a gate, patio, or garden elements like benches, flower, and veggie frames, you must make many longer welds. While this satisfies the needs of many hobbyists, you cannot complete every DIY project with short welds. The welding time is even lower if you use the maximum amperage output of 125A. The Flux 125 offers a duty cycle that lets you weld for 2 minutes using a 90A output, then wait an additional 8 minutes for the welder to cool down. So, let’s review where it falls behind the competition to help you decide if this welder is for you. But you should also know many competing models don’t have most of these negatives. You should know how these shortcomings affect your work. The Chicago Electric Flux 125 has multiple flaws that hinder your welding experience. What To Know Before Buying The Chicago Electric Flux 125 Unspecified wire feeding speed range in inches per minute.Weldable Mild Steel Thickness (Single-pass) (Flux-cored welding accommodates rust and other contaminants, reducing the need to grind.) Tech Specs Welder Type But having to clean the base metal thoroughly negates one of the advantages of FCAW. Without copper contacts, you must grind the metal well for the best electrical connection. The worst thing about the cheap clamp is that you can’t replace it quickly since it doesn’t use the standard bolt and nut wire connection.Īlso, the ground clamp lacks copper contact points, so it doesn’t provide maximum conductivity. The provided ground clamp is pathetic, while the MIG gun is in line with the price. You can’t replace them readily as it requires opening up the machine and wiring skills. I also don’t appreciate the built-in nature of the leads. However, the 6-foot leads are below average length. So, the limited package contents are no surprise here. It’s normal for bargain welders to include no or few extras. Many competing models have amperage output and wire feed knobs for total control, and some even provide a digital display for an ever better welding experience. But it uses an outdated “min/max” switch for amperage control. thick metal, which is fine for a low-budget machine. Also, the Chicago Electric Flux 125 has a low duty cycle and weighs almost three times more than its competition, like the YesWelder model I’ll review later in the article. But some competing models offer more features at the same price. The low price of this welder is tempting. Overview of the Chicago Electric Flux 125 In this article, you’ll learn about the areas I find troubling, some of its pros, and an alternative I recommend for much better value. It weighs 38 lbs, and it’s just a 125A flux-core welder, making it one of the heaviest “portable” welders with low amperage output. This welder and its specs belong in the era before the first-ever inverter welders hit the commercial marketplace. But it’s outdated compared to newer budget entry-level welders. The inexpensive Chicago Electric Flux 125 welder offers a standard welding experience for beginners. They’re good if you are in a closed, quiet room, but not that loud or effective if you are outdoors or want to play some music. However, this is a 13.4-inch panel, so you may not pay much attention to those bars.īut this has an Achilles heel. It is good for office use, but you will notice black bars on the top and bottom when watching Netflix or YouTube in full screen. The Flow Z13 has ROG Nebula branding, so this is a good display.Īsus used a 16:10 aspect ratio that gives this tablet more height. So, when you see the Nebula branding, you can be assured it is a high refresh rate screen with Pantone, DCI-P3, and TÜV Rheinland certification. Now, Asus has come up with a Nebula branding for its displays. This is a touchscreen panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of peak brightness, Pantone validation, and Dolby Vision HDR support. The Asus ROG Flow Z13 review can’t go on without talking about the screen. We will get back to the XG Mobile interface in the performance section. On the left side, you get a USB 3.2 Type-C port for charging, and a proprietary ROG XG Mobile interface to connect an external GPU. The power button sits flush and the volume buttons protrude slightly, so you can figure out their positions without looking at them. While the SSD is the only upgradeable part on the ROG Flow Z13, it is good to have it there.Ĭoming to the sides, you get the power button, volume rockers, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, and a headphone jack. When you lift the hinge, there’s a hidden microSD card slot, and a Gen 4.0 M2.0 SSD slot hiding there. A solid metal CNC chassis, a sturdy hinge, a neat RGB-backlit window to let you peek inside the tablet, and a 13MP camera. But if you’re in a tight space like a flight or in a cafe, you will appreciate a small footprint. You cannot pick it up and use it in tablet mode for more than 10 minutes unless you’re Arn0ld. For instance, it isn’t even portable in a normal portable manner. This tablet does everything in its own unique way. READ MORE Microsoft to replace Mail, Calendar on Windows 11 with AI-powered Outlook Design, build, and ports I recently did a home tour of our first floor sharing the things we did to declutter there. But now that I’m looking at our home with a buyer’s eye, I’ve found so many different things that I’m willing to declutter! I thought we were pretty well decluttered. Not a good impression! I am getting ready to list our home for sale. And if they see cupboards and closets overflowing with stuff, they’ll conclude that your home doesn’t have enough storage. Tidy up the toys and straighten your garage.ĭon’t forget to declutter inside of cupboards, closets and drawers! Buyers look behind doors, too.

But when you think of packing, loading and unpacking ALL THAT STUFF, there’s a switch in your head that gets flipped that makes it suddenly seem very attractive to let it go.Īnd the price of that clutter starts to become a whole lot more obvious. The way I see it, you can either declutter the unnecessary stuff NOW or you can spend time, energy and MONEY to move it and continue NOT to use it. You may have held on to the old worn furniture or that old sport equipment for years. But your buyer will look at the same room and think it has tons of possibility! All their stuff will fit! So don’t stress if you feel a room is a bit empty. When you take out as much furniture as possible, you might think the room looks empty. You definitely don’t want to set off any red flags like that! And as unfair as it sounds, a buyer may look at the banged up coffee table and assume that your home itself hasn’t been well taken care of. Plus, if your furniture is on the older side, it’s not putting your home in the best light. They won’t want seating for 10 in the family room. Big win! Buyers aren’t going to miss those extra side tables or coffee table. This may feel like an extreme measure but it’s completely worth it.įor one thing, taking out extra furniture instantly makes your home look larger. Think banged up corners, worn or torn fabric, old and tired throw pillows and blankets, etc. You want to remove any furniture that’s crowding your rooms and anything that’s not in excellent shape. If you’re someone’s guest, you may feel welcome and at ease but you’re still not quite “at home.” When you’re in a decluttered vacation home, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy it like it’s your own. It’s the difference between being a guest in someone’s home and being at a well-appointed vacation home.

A break in the ulnar styloid bone in the wrist. Greenstick fracture - A greenstick fracture occurs during infancy or childhood when a soft bone bends and breaks.Chauffeur’s fracture - A fracture in the forearm that can occur when the scaphoid bone is compressed against the styloid process in the distal radius.This type of fracture can occur on either the dorsal (backside) or palmar (palm side) of the wrist. Barton's fracture - A Barton's fracture is a type of fracture in the distal radius bone in conjunction with a dislocation in the radiocarpal joint.This type of wrist fracture is characterized by pain at the base of the thumb.
