Castlevania: Harmony of Despair Character Guide to Jonathan Morris by Option -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version History: August 27th 2010: FAQ created (1.0) August 31st 2010: File width and a few things corrected (1.1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTENT INDEX: - Introduction [ITR] - Basics [BSC] - General Introduction to Jonathan - Basic Controls - Character Advancement - Martial Arts - Supweapons [SBW] - Subweapon List - Subweapons in Detail - Tips on Subweapon Levels - Equipment [EQP] - Vampire Killer - Defensive Gear - Simon's Gear - Strategies [STG] - Single Player - Co-Op - Survival -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION [ITR] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, or Castlevania HD, is a multiplayer game by Konami for XBox Live Arcade. I have played it shortly after release and completed almost all characters. Since I think Jonathan is one of the most interesting characters in this game, I decided to create a guide to him. If you decide to play as Jonathan, you will have to be aware of investing a lot of time and nerves into this characters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASICS [BSC] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This section will cover the more basic things, such as background and character- specific information and controls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO JONATHAN Jonathan Morris is one of the two main characters in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin for the Nintendo DS. There he teamed up with the mage Charlotte Aulin (who also is playable in this game) to defeat the artist vampire Brauner (who is a boss in this game). Jonathan is the son of John Morris, one of the two protagonists in Castlevania: Bloodlines. He also is the grandson of Quincy Morris, the hero in Bram Stoker's Dracula, tieing the novel into the Castlevania canon. The young hero struggles with his past - his father died and never taught him how to use the Vampire Killer whip. During the events of Portrait of Ruin, he comes to peace with himself, though. Jonathan's place in the timeline is shortly after World War 2, which is why he uses, for instance, a hand grenade as weapon. In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Jonathan is one of the 5 playable characters, and, in my opinion, the most interesting and fun to play as. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASIC CONTROLS Jonathan controls like everybody else in the game. He has a double jump, a slide kick, a backdash and a jumpkick. He can trigger a taunt by pressing Up, and if you hold Up for a few seconds, Jonathan will do an air guitar. Jonathan's only weapon in this game is the Vampire Killer whip, which is covered in the "Vampire Killer"-subsection in the Equipment section. His Personal Skill are martial arts. Jonathan is the only character able to use them, but he only starts out with Guard. I will cover these in their own section. His Hunter Skill are the several subweapons he can use, and so far, he is the only character resembling the older games, using classic but also new subweapons. They will be covered in a complete separate section. Overall, Jonathan is a well-rounded character who is able to suit himself for almost all kind of combat. He has the second-longest range of melee based weapons (the longest is the Nebula whip, which only Soma is able to equip, strangely), however, he is extremely slow to build up. Therefore, using Jonathan to begin is a VERY BAD IDEA. DO NOT START OUT WITH JONATHAN. You will need a lot of time and dedication to max Jonathan out, and if you don't level his subweapons, you will be pretty much useless because you will do almost no damage. Despite this, playing him is extremely fun, so you should definitely give him a try. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARACTER ADVANCEMENT Jonathan, like all other characters, doesn't level up in this game. His stats only become better by equipping better gear. However, you will notice how your whip does surprisingly low damage, even if you get really good gear. Vampire Killer gets stronger the higher Jonathan's subweapons are levelled. Unfortunately, they don't get levelled the more of the same subweapon he gets, they level by using them. One hit means one point towards the total level. This can ridiculously slow, even when using a certain trick I will tell you later. His martial arts cannot be levelled and I'm not sure if they count towards the level of Vampire Killer - if someone can clear that up, I'd be thankful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARTIAL ARTS These are one of the things that make Jonathan stand out from other characters. Jonathan's martial arts consume a certain amount of MP and greatly benefit his mobility as well as his damage output if used correctly. He also easily can get behind certain enemies by using these moves. Martial arts are not equipped on the right shoulder button, but require a specific button input (not unlike special moves in Street Fighter and the like) to use them. Here the list of the 5 skills: - Guard: Starting martial art. - Danger Knee: Stage 2. - Forward Roll: Stage 3. - Uppercut: Stage 4. - Sonic Strike: Stage 5 and 6. The locations can vary, but these are where the martial arts drop predominantly. They are only found in green or purple chests. If you get one, it looks like a spell scroll in blue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guard You start the game with this, and it's the only martial art that doesn't need a button combination. It's set on the right shoulder button (RB). When Jonathan uses Guard, he goes into a stance, crossing his arms in front of himself to protect his body. He is not able to move or attack during this, and as far as I am aware, it does not consume any MP. When in Guard stance, Jonathan takes half of the damage he would normally take, for instance if an attack that would do 40 damage hits him, he only recieves 20 damage. He also is not able to be knocked back by enemy hits. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Danger Knee This is found mainly in Stage 2. Input: Back, Down, Forward, Y When using this, Jonathan flings himself forward, knee first. He flies into the direction he moved the stick to. This means if Jonathan faces right and uses the button combination for the knee towards the left, he will use it toward the left. It consumes 5 MP to perform Danger Knee. This can be used to quickly get towards the "front" if playing in a group, and deal some damage while at it. Otherwise, I don't see much use for Danger Knee, I'm afraid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forward Roll This is found mainly in Stage 3. Input: Forward, Down, Back, Forward, Y Jonathan flips a roll into the direction the combination was used into, like Danger Knee. He quickly moves forward and is invulnerable while doing it, but it doesn't do any damage either and uses up 10 MP. This is a very good way to move behind enemies without taking damage, mainly behind Final Guards or Dullahans, so you can attack them from behind. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uppercut This is found mainly in Stage 4. Input: Down, Up, Y When using this, Jonathan does a flaming uppercut and flings himself upwards. It resembles the "Shoryuken" move from Ryu and Ken in Street Fighter. In fact, it actually is taken directly from Portrait of Ruin. There it was called Griffon Wing and would allow Jonathan to do huge jumps upwards and hug the ceiling if needed. Jonathan's punch will be on the side he is facing, so beware of that. Uppercut consumes 5 MP. Little fun fact: Depending on the color for Jonathan you chose, the color of the flame's outlines changes. The uppercut is extremely low ranged, but deals quite a pack of damage. There's little use to it, however, you might be able to get a few strong hits on Dracula, his first and third forms to be exact. Since its range is so short, though, you probably are better off not using it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic Strike This is found mainly in Stages 5 and 6. Input: Up, Back, Down, Forward, Y First, Jonathan does some sort of "roar" pose, then he disappears towards the direction the input was, leaving a short trail of his image behind. He then reappears a few feet further. During this, everyone in his way will recieve damage. Jonathan is invulnerable while using Sonic Strike. It also uses 15 MP. You might already guess that Sonic Strike is probably Jonathan's most useful martial art, and you guessed that right. This is actually what makes Jonathan stand out when it comes to this, not only because it's basically a Forward Roll dealing damage, but also because it has an interesting glitch to it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sonic Jump"-Glitch Naming and finding credits go to Zaarock from GameFAQs-Boards. This is a hilarious yet awesome glitch for Jonathan's Sonic Strike martial art. If you use the Sonic Jump, Jonathan will fly a HUGE distance forward, even ignoring some corners on his way. To do this, you first need to stand at the edge of a ledge. Then you have to put in the command for Sonic Strike, and hold forward as soon as the move starts. If you did it right, Jonathan will catapult himself a very long distance. However, you will not do any damage, so beware of enemies in your way. With this you can overcome a few gaps, such as the merman pit in Stage 1 or the big room with the scales and bone pillars in Stage 2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBWEAPONS [SBW] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah yes. The central aspect of Jonathan - the subweapons. Thanks to these, Jonathan is one of the most versatile characters in the game. You can equip up to 4 different subweapons (B, Up+B, Forward+B, Down+B). As mentioned earlier, they level up by using them. The higher the level, the more the damage they do. Additionally to this, they can change their appearance or the area of influence respectively amount of thrown attacks. Most of them have 3 main levels. I'm not sure if all "Level 2" parts are on the same subweapon level, but all Level 3 changes are on Level 9. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBWEAPON LIST - Axe: Drops from Axe Knight. - Bible: Stage 2 Hard. - Boomerang: Drops from Gurkha Master. - Cross: Stage 6 Hard. - Grenade: Stage 1 and 2 Normal. - Holy Water: Stage 4 Hard. - Knife: Starting Subweapon. - Kunai: Stage 4 Normal. - Paper Airplane: Drops from Fleaman. - Ricochet Rock: Drops from Lerajie. - Shuriken: Stage 5. - Wrecking Ball: Stage 3 Hard. The locations for the chest drops can vary, but these are where they drop predominantly. They are found in chests of all colors, including boss chests. If you get one, it shows the icon and the name of the subweapon. I will only describe the enemy drops' looks so you know what to look for. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Axe The Axe is dropped by the Axe Knight enemies. Those can be found in Stage 1, and Stage 2 on Normal only, it's the blue armors throwing axes. If it drops, it looks like... well... an axe. It's shiny and silver and has about the same size as the head of an Axe Knight. The axe is one of the Castlevania subweapon mainstays and is used just like the classic one. Jonathan tosses the axe upward, it then makes an arc and drops down. It can hit enemies multiple times. It cannot go through ceilings or walls and some blasts are able to block the axe or reflect it, for instance the explosion of another Jonathan's grenade. The axe is actually a pretty useful weapon due to its multiple hits. It also is rather cheap in terms of MP usage, and it can help a lot against big bosses like Gergoth, Puppet Master or Dracula's second and third form. MP use: 15 Level 1: A small handaxe Level 2: A bigger round battle axe Level 3: A huge battle axe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bible The Bible is found in Stage 2 on Hard. Brown book with cross on it. It was used in numerous Castlevania games, but never really stayed completely. When Jonathan uses it, he will place the brown book with the golden cross on it in front of himself. The Bible then will start spiralling outwards, leaving a trail of pages and then disappearing. However, only the Bible itself is able to do damage. It can hit enemies multiple times and deals holy damage. It goes through walls and ceilings. While the bible doesn't seem all too useful in the beginning, it is actually a pretty good weapon later on, able to clear rooms and destroy big bosses even more than the axe does due to its holy damage. MP use: 20 Level 1: A small brown book Level 2: No noticeable change (is the duration of the move higher?) Level 3: Don't have that yet, sorry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boomerang The Boomerang is dropped by the Gurkha Master. Those guys are the tall green armors using the scythe-shaped knives, stabbing and throwing them. They are found in Stages 4, 5 and 6, and on Hard Mode they replace a few Axe Knights in Stage 1 and all of them in Stage 2. The boomerang drop itself is easy to identify. It's the typical boomerang shape, it's white and has a few blue stripes. This weapon works just like you imagine it would work. Jonathan throws the boomerang forward, it does a slightly arced curve and then returns to Jonathan. It is able to hit multiple times, but is stopped by walls. It has one of the longest ranges of all of Jonathan's subweapons. The boomerang is actually a really useful subweapon, but as soon as you get the cross, you should use that instead, although the boomerang has higher range and is faster than the cross. MP use: 12 Level 1: A white and blue boomerang Level 2: No noticeable change Level 3: A huge orange boomerang -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cross This is found in Stage 6 on Hard. It's a blue shiny cross with all arms having the same length. The cross is one of the mainstays in the Castlevania series. If used, Jonathan throws a blue shining cross weapon forward. It flies straight ahead, stays a moment at its peak and then it flies straightly back, no matter if Jonathan is still there or not. It's stopped by walls and deals holy damage, being able to hit multiple times, as well. This weapon is basically like a slower but more powerful version of the boomerang. It deals holy damage, meaning it will aid your monster slaying a lot more. And since it stays for a second at the peak, you can use it to cause massive damage on bosses if you use it from the right distance. MP use: 20 Level 1: A blue shining cross Level 2: No noticeable change (does it become bigger or wider ranged?) Level 3: A huge blue shining cross -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grenade Found in Stages 1 and 2 on Normal. Looks like a hand grenade. The grenade is exclusive to Jonathan in terms of subweapons, it was only used in Portrait of Ruin. It is one of the most awkward supweapons. When Jonathan uses it, he drops a grenade. If it touches the ground or the wall, it bounces off of it and go a "hop" further (when on the ground) or into the different direction (when hitting a wall). It takes about a second to detonate, causing an explosion that can but most likely won't deal multiple hits. Honestly, this is one of the worst weapons for Jonathan. He has to get ridiculously close to have it hit, and it doesn't even deal that much damage. Don't use it. MP use: 15 Level 1: A small green hand grenade and a small explosion ("1 square"). Level 2: Same grenade, but explosion expands "1 square" upwards. Level 3: Stick grenade, explosion expands towards the side, making "4 squares". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holy Water Found in Stage 4 on Hard. Small bottle with blue liquid in it. Another classic weapon. Jonathan drops a small bottle down that shatters as it touches the ground or a wall. If it touches the wall, it won't really do anything but if it hits the ground, it emits a blue flame that travels forward a little. It does holy damage and hits multiple times. A great weapon if maxed out, especially against grounded bosses and Final Guards. I admit not using it much because it's a bit awkward to use, similarly to the grenade, but I know it can be devastating. MP use: 20 Level 1: Small blue flame Level 2: Flame is bigger and travels further Levle 3: Flame is huge and travels rather far -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Knife You already start out with this subweapon. The last of the traditional Castlevania subweapons, the knife is probably the most basic subweapon to carry. Jonathan throws forward a dagger that travels in a straight line until it hits an obstacle. It's fast, but doesn't deal much damage. As said, your most basic weapon, fast and easy to use, but you probably should replace it with the kunai or shuriken once you get those. Still good to clear hallways and one of the cheapest weapons in the game. MP use: 8 Level 1: One knife Level 2: Two knives Level 3: Three knives -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kunai This is found in Stage 4 on Normal. It is a blade with a handle that has a hole in it. Jonathan throws forward several kunai knives that spread out like a shotgun, and disappear when hitting an obstacle. It's quick, and the individual kunai may not deal much damage, but combined, they can be devastating. Best subweapon in the game, hands down. The kunai utterly abuses big bosses like Dracula's second and third forms, but also enemies and bosses in general. It's also surprisingly cheap and can cause extremely much damage if used right. As soon as you have it, use it. MP use: 12 Level 1: 3 kunais - 1 straight forward, 1 diagonally up, 1 diagonally down Level 2: 4 kunais - 2 diagonally up, 2 diagonally down Level 3: 5 kunais - 1 straight forward, 2 diagonally up, 2 diagonally down -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper Airplane This drops from Fleaman enemies. Fleamen can be found in Stages 1, 3 and 4. It's most likely the first subweapon you will get. It looks just like you would imagine it - a small paper airplane. The movement of the airplane is a bit hard to describe. Jonathan throws it, it goes a few inches forward in a downward angle. Then it does a small looping, and continues its downward angle until it hits an obstacle or the ground. It doesn't go quick, but does surprisingly quite a bit of damage. Generally speaking - the airplane is awesome. Not because it's a specifically good subweapon, but rather because it's just badass to poke Dracula's eye out with a paper airplane. That being said, it has the lowest MP cost of all subweapons and can be used similarly to the knife. It can be useful, but I wouldn't see it as a really good subweapon, to be honest, except of course for its epicness. MP use: 5 Level 1: A paper airplane Level 2: A paper airplane with a stick figure riding it Level 3: A paper airplane with 2 stick figures riding on it -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ricochet Rock This drops from the Lerajie enemies. Those are the green skinny demon snipers in purple suits. You can easily identify them by their "I see you!" catchphrase and the red laser showing the arc of their shot. They are found in Stages 4, 5 and 6. The Ricochet Rock drop can be easily overlooked. It is a tiny steel blue stone, almost looking like a fish's scale or so. When using it, Jonathan throws a shiny blue stone in an downward angled arc. It ricochets off of walls, floor and ceiling, leaving a blue trail behind. It is able to hit multiple times. I first didn't want to use it, to be honest, but this is a surprisingly good subweapon when used in boss rooms where they cannot leave the room, especially the first part of Gergoth's (before he crushes the floor and falls down), Puppet Master's and Brauner's. It also deals quite a good damage and is rather quick. I was pleasantly surprised by it. There's better ones, but certainly the Ricochet Rock shouldn't be underestimated. MP use: 15 Level 1: A blue shiny stone Level 2: No noticeable change (duration is longer?) Level 3: No noticeable change (duration even longer?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shuriken This is found in Stage 5. It's a ninja throwing star. Jonathan throws the shuriken in a strong downward angle, almost like he would smash them downward because he's upset with them, heh. They stick in the ground or wall for a moment, able to deal damage to enemies there should they touch it. You cannot see the shuriken flying, though. This is one of the best subweapons in the game. Use it when jumping or standing on a platform above an enemy, otherwise it'll be almost useless. It deals a lot of damage, is insanely fast and comparably cheap. And it's ridiculously fast - as long as the distance isn't all too far, it's almost an instant hit if you use the shuriken. MP use: 12 Level 1: 3 small throwing stars Level 2: 4 small throwing stars Level 3: 5 huge badass throwing stars -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrecking Ball This is found in Stage 3 on hard. It's a ball on a chain. Eh, probably one of the hardest to describe, since it's so different to the other subweapons. Jonathan stands in place and starts swinging a big wrecking ball on a chain above him. It's an ellipsis arc. Once he uses it, he will continue swinging the ball infinitely until he gets hit or you let go of the B button. Jonathan cannot use this when in midair or crouching. I know the wrecking ball is considered being a boss killer, but honestly, I don't see it. Unlike the projectiles, he cannot move while using it, cannot use them from a safe distance, is vulnerable while swinging it and it can't really be spammed. I can see the use on Dracula's final form, but honestly, I'd take the cross for that any day because you can use it from far away. MP use: 15 Level 1: A steel ball on a chain Level 2: No noticeable change Level 3: A bigger steel ball with spikes on a chain -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIPS ON SUBWEAPON LEVELS Jonathan, like Shanoa, needs to use his subweapons to gradually level them up. However, unlike Shanoa, Jonathan doesn't have 4 spells to level up, but 12 subweapons, which means it'll take him three times as long as Shanoa to max out his subweapons. There are a few tips I can give you for this chore, but it'll take you a long time and, most importantly, a friend who will help you. There's a few things that can aid you in your levelling. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Backdash Cancelling / Subweapon Spamming Only Soma, Shanoa and Jonathan can do this, as far as I know - I'm not sure if it works for Charlotte's or Alucard's spells. That being said, Jonathan is probably the one who has the most advantage from it. To use the backdash spam, equip the subweapon you want to use on the Down + B combination. When in the game, hold diagonally downward, and press the left shoulder button (LB) for the backdash and the B button pretty much simultaneously. If you do it correctly, the backdash will be cancelled, but so will the subweapon animation. If you do this multiple times, you will be able to throw masses of subweapons until you run out of MP. This will allow you to speed up the progress on almost all subweapons. The only subweapon I didn't get to work with this was the holy water, but maybe I just failed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Survival Mode Method Get a friend and go to survival mode on Chapter 1 Hard. Hard is very important because there's a boss you can target, as a hit on your human opponent will not give you the desired points towards the subweapon levels. If your friend wants to level up subweapons or Shanoa's spells, as well, they can join in and do it too. It will make things a bit longer for you, but in the long run helps both, you and and your friend. You cannot die in survival mode, if you die, you instantly respawn. This is abusable for Jonathan and Shanoa. For your equipment, use on the 2 accessory slots an Astral Ring and a Master Ring, and on the Down + B-combination the subweapon you want to level. Using the Master Ring speeds up the levelling process and using the Astral Ring will have Jonathan use his HP instead of his MP. Then backdash spam the hell out of your subweapons. As soon as you run out of health to use the subweapon, hop into the boss or your friend's attack (if they use one), and die. Respawn, rinse and repeat until the boss is dead or the timer runs out. Now, with that in mind, there's a few things you have to watch out for. First, the game does not count the damage you deal, but the amount of hits you do with the subweapon. There are some weapons where only one hit counts, though, and the others don't - the axe seems to be one of those where only one hit is counted, while the shuriken seem to count all hitting shuriken. Second, there are weapons that have a sort of hit delay. This means even if you have 3 or 4 of them out simultaneously, only one hits. This is true for the axe, bible, cross, grenade and holy water. I'm not sure about the boomerang. These weapons require you to time your attacks so that every of them hits instead of just 1 out of 5, since only the hits are raising the counter. The wrecking ball can be levelled up differently, and it seems to work a bit better. You unequip the Astral Ring and equip a second Master Ring. For the wrecking ball, every hit on itself counts towards your level bar. You can start the attack and hold the button until you get hit, and you only need the MP for initiating the attack. If your friend levels up an attack that needs him to be closer to the boss, for instance the grenade or the wrecking ball, you shouldn't be a jerk, thus not use the boomerang that prevents him from getting in close. Oh, and I know there's people suggesting using a Jonathan and Charlotte team where Charlotte heals, but I found this more effective and useful for the other player. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even with these methods, you still will take a long time to max out Jonathan, I myself don't have him fully maxed out yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUIPMENT [EQP] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VAMPIRE KILLER For some odd reason, the developers decided to give Jonathan only one single weapon to use, despite the fact that he uses a lot of whips and other weapons in Portrait of Ruin. In fact, there is a second whip in Harmony of Despair, the Nebula, but only Soma gets to use it. Which I find, to be honest, stupid. My personal opinion on not giving Jonathan his other whips aside, this guy uses the legendary Vampire Killer, the whip of the Belmont clan. It deals whip damage and I think holy damage, making it a very efficient weapon. Jonathan can whip straight forward only when on the ground. When in the air, he can strike diagonally downward. But that's it. If Jonathan has whipped forward and you hold the X button, you can dangle the whip around, dealing only minor damage, but making a surprisingly good defense against projectile spam like Death's scythes. Aside from spells, Soma's longer ranged weapons (guns, Nebula) and Shanoa's Pneuma glyph, Jonathan has the longest range in the whole game. This makes him a very useful asset to have in a Co-Op team and a useful Survival fighter. If Jonathan maxes out all subweapons, Vampire Killer becomes the weapon with the highest damage output per hit, as well, and combined with its insane range, this makes Jonathan incredibly good - but only when maxed out. However, as already said numerous times, the Vampire Killer stays very weak unless you start to level up your subweapons. This is VITAL to Jonathan. When he doesn't have his subweapons at least all around Level 6 or 7, he pretty much is useless as his damage output doesn't warrant using him at all. This also makes him the hardest character to use when playing in single player or starting out in general. Unfortunately, many people try to use him as first character because he's the closest to classic Castlevania characters, but again I heavily advise against using Jonathan at first. Start out with Soma so you can get good equipment for Jonathan, then get his subweapons, level them - THEN you can think of playing him and not be absolutely useless. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFENSIVE GEAR Since Jonathan cannot equip any other weapons aside from the vampire killer, he only needs armor to worry about. He mostly shares the armor with Soma and Alucard, but he does have a few exclusive pieces of armor. I will talk about Simon's Gear in an own section, though, and not mention it in this one. If I forgot to mention an exclusive for Jonathan, please tell me. CHEST: Biker's Jacket ATK +2, DEF +9, STR +2, INT +2 HP +3 +10 Defense against Blunt attacks Notes: Great in the beginning and Normal mode, but equip better stuff as soon as possible.

Stone Mask: DEF +2, LCK +1 +10 Defense against Petrifying Notes: Luck-boost for farming enemy drops. LEGS: Mercury Boots DEF +3 Increases running speed. Notes: Poor man's Winged Boots, but give a bit of defense. Platinum Leggings DEF +9 Notes: Best in terms of defense next to Simon's Sandals. Samurai Leggings ATK +3, DEF +8, STR +3 HP +5 Notes: Great boots, better than Platinum Leggings, but worse than Simon's Sandals. Use those until you get the sandals. Winged Boots No stat changes Notes: Make you run insanely fast, but you take the 0 stat-boon hit. BACK: Assassin's Cape ATK +1, DEF +4, STR +1 HP +4, MP +4 +5 defense against Blunt, Fire and Ice attacks Notes: Good cape for offensive play. Cape of Invisibility DEF +4, LCK +2 HP +5, MP +5 +5 Defense against Fire and Ice attacks Renders the use almost invisible.

Elven Cape DEF +5, MND +5 HP +4, MP +6 +5 Defense against Stabbing, Fire, Ice and Lightning attacks Notes: Best cape if you want to use subweapons more. Paludamentum DEF +5, MND +3 HP +10, MP +15 +8 Defense against Fire and Ice attacks +10 Defense against Lightning attacks Notes: Great cape, HP and MP boosts are awesome. JONATHAN EXCLUSIVES: Brilliant Mail DEF +15, INT +4 +10 Defense against Holy attacks Increases the attack power of subweapons. Notes: Is useful if you want to rely on subweapons, but it's not overwhelming. Breastplate DEF +9 +10 Defense against Stabbing attacks Notes: Sucks. Chain Mail DEF +12 +10 Defense against Slashing attacks -10 Defense against Stabbing attacks Notes: Sucks too. Cuirass DEF +16 HP +8 +10 Defense against Stabbing attacks Notes: Better than the former two. You can use this if you don't have better armor. Hauberk DEF +14 HP +5 +5 Defense against Slashing attacks -5 Defense against Stabbing attacks Notes: It's bad too. Kung Fu Suit ATK +1, DEF +12, STR +1 HP +5 +8 Defense against Blunt attacks Notes: Yea, you know the drill. Lorica ATK +3, DEF +20, STR +3, MND +5 HP +10 +10 Defense against Stabbing attacks Notes: Actually really good armor, use it until you get the amazing drops like Death's Robe or Simon's Plate. Ring Mail DEF +13 +5 Defense against Blunt and Slashing attacks -10 Defense against Stabbing attacks Notes: Uhhh... Scale Mail DEF +7 Notes: Come on... Spiked Mail DEF +15 Notes: Finally. Yea, it sucks too. As you can see, most of the Jonathan exclusive armors are pretty bad. Don't use them unless you don't have anything better. And you most likely have something better than that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACCESSORIES Astral Ring Consumes HP instead of MP when using subweapons.

Thief Ring LCK +10 Increases the rate of rare drops. Notes: Use it when farming for items. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIMON'S GEAR Simon Belmont's set for Jonathan is made up of 3 pieces of armor: Simon's Plate, Simon's Bandanna and Simon's Sandals. Why someone would wear 300 year old sandals is beyond me, I'll admit that, but hey, I'm not the one to wear them. Anyway, going merely by stats, Simon's gear is the best out of all the stuff Jonathan can get. They are all dropped in Stage 6 on Hard, either purple chests or Dracula's boss chest. Sometimes, Brilliant Mail, Winged Boots or other gear is better for a certain situation or boss, but generally speaking, you won't see many occasions where Simon's gear isn't the best to equip. Stats: Simon's Bandanna ATK +5, DEF +11, STR +5, MND +3 HP +10 +10 Defense against Curse and Poison Notes: Yes, the official writing is with 2 N. Simon's Sandals ATK +3, DEF +9, STR +3, MND +3 HP +8 +10 Defense against Holy and Dark attacks Simon's Plate DEF +28, STR +5, MND +5 HP +30 +10 Defense against Blunt, Slashing and Stabbing attacks +10 Defense against Petrifying, Curse and Poison -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGIES [STG] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SINGLE PLAYER Jonathan has a hard time in Single Player, at least in the beginning. When you start out Jonathan even with some good stuff you got for Soma or Alucard, he still will be comparably weak as the Vampire Killer sucks in the start. You most likely will have a friend to carry your Jonathan through different stages until you can get his subweapons, martial arts and possibly Simon's gear. Once you are equipped well, have learned the martial arts and have levelled your subweapons to Level 6 or 7, you're good to go. In Stages 1 and 2, you can abuse the Sonic Strike glitch to cross some gaps quickly if you want to. The Puppet Master is a bit difficult to fight against on Hard in Single Player, but using kunai, shuriken, holy water and/or the whip dangling, you should be good when the Puppet Master stuffs the doll into the iron maiden. The other bosses are not that difficult, and I'll be honest, some of them become a pushover once you have good gear and strong subweapons, as well as a strong Vampire Killer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CO-OP Jonathan is a really good support character. His subweapons and the long range on his whip, him being able to equip some of the best armor in the game and his Guard martial art make him to a great meat shield for a Charlotte who tries to heal the group, or generally spellcasters tossing their stuff from the distance. If he is maxed out, he also is an offensive force to be reckoned with. Use subweapons with multiple hits on bosses to attack them with safe distance. Use your whip to deal big damage if you run out of MP. Defend your allies from projectiles, such as Death's scythes and Brauner's medusa heads by dangling your whip in front of you. That being said, he also is able to get behind Final Guards and Dullahans unscathed and attack them from behind. Only Soma with his Puppet Master soul can do this, as well. Use Kunai to damage the Final Guards greatly. Some boss strategies now. Only speaking of Hard mode here. Gergoth: Easy. His attacks are all easily avoidable. Use kunai, shuriken, cross or, when in the room on top of the tower, ricochet rock to deal massive multiple damage. Axe, bible or holy water might come in handy too. Puppet Master: Probably the hardest boss for Jonathan as he has no quick multihit attacks. Your best friends are axe, ricochet rock, shuriken and kunai here. Use the dangling of your whip or kunais to hit the doll before Puppet Master puts it into the iron maiden. Menace: Easy, too. The knife is a must have against this guy, as it flies across the screen in a straight line. Other good weapons are the cross and the shuriken. When using the cross, try to go for his face on the golden platform or for his knee on the lower ledge. If you use the knife, try to go for his heart. Brauner: Can be tricky. Bring holy water or cross as well as kunai and shuriken. Use your whip to dangle yourself free of the blood lines, or throw kunai at them. When he uses the blood spray, be careful to stand outside of its range. Your whip and subweapons still can reach him there. When he transforms into a painting, you should have easy time avoiding it. Try using the kunai or your whip to deal some damage to him. His painting summons are hard to dodge, but if he does the blue medusa head thingies, you can use kunai or whip dangling to destroy them without getting hit. Ricochet rock can be very useful here, too. Death: For Jonathan, Death is a joke. Avoid his attacks, and be especially careful for the scythe slashes and the big scythes. If he summons a swarm of scythes, get behind him and attack away, or, if that's not possible, kneel down and dangle your whip to create a safe passage. Kunai, cross, shuriken and axe are very good weapons to bring to this battle. Dracula: Axe and kunai are must haves for this fight. Cross, bible and shuriken can be useful, too. First form is easy - avoid his attacks, get behind him of possible. Use cross or, preferably, shuriken or your whip to smack his head, everything else is too slow. Second form is even easier. Spam your subweapons and smack at him with your whip as quick as possible. As soon as he bows forward and puts his claws together, he's about to jump and use his poison rain attack. Avoid this! Third form can be tricky, but for a well levelled Jonathan, even this form is easy. When standing in between his hands, use the kunai and your whip to deal good damage. When you are outside, throw axes or shuriken over his hands. Most of his attacks are comparably easy to avoid. Be very careful if he does the white summon circle, as this is when he prepares for the nuke attack. Get to the corner, if it's too close, take the hit from the fire pillars. If you have a Charlotte on your team, you don't even have to worry about that. If he summons the hearts, get in front of the girl(s) in your team and take the hit for them - you taking a bit of damage is better than your spellcasters being charmed. When he does the triangle attack, make sure you have at least one person in the opposite corner. With that, it's far easier to avoid this attack. Finally, a few hints on the third form: There's a slight red aura around the hand which is going to slap towards you, always keep an eye on his hands. When Dracula glows dark blue, he is invulnerable. When he glows light blue, he is invulnerable to magic attacks, but physical hits still can damage him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SURVIVAL As if anyone plays Survival, lulz. Anyway, your best bet is to keep your distance. If you play on Hard, try to avoid Gergoth's attacks as well as possible and attack him with some of your big boss-killers, such as the kunai or the cross. When only you and your opponent are left, it'll be harder. Try not to get too close on any of your opponents. If you are fighting Soma or Alucard, make sure to stay outside of their weapon range and hit them with your whip or a long ranged subweapon. Fighting against Charlotte or Shanoa can be tricky, as they can blow you out of the water in terms of long range attacks. Try to avoid their spells, and try to hit as hard and quick as you can. Shanoa and Charlotte tend to be on the weak side when close up, so try to hit them hard from close range. When fighting Charlotte, try to interrupt her spells. Jonathan mirrors can be annoying, as your opponent has the same or similar chances as you do. In any case bring the kunai and the cross, as they can be used defensively, as well. Throw in the one or another Sonic Strike or Forward Roll to surprise your opponent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THANKS AND CREDITS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Konami for this wonderful yet terribly addicting game (LOOT!). - Toyzferall for giving me a great blueprint to organize the FAQ. - Zaarock from GameFAQs-Forums for the explanation on the Sonic Strike glitch. - Meos for grinding the hell out of me and the 2 Master Ring method for the wrecking ball. - Titzmann for his amazing Item Compendium Spreadsheet.

As far as recent films go, I loved Black Panther, though it was the best Marvel film in a while. Infinity War was really fun, it didn't get me emotionally like it seemingly did some people but I had a blast watching it.
Looking back, I love the first Iron Man for changing the game, and the first two Avengers movies really did it for me too, yes even the second one (possibly because I'm a huge James Spader fan and think his performance was very underrated). Spiderman: Homecoming was also great, as was the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
Honestly I love most of the films, even though I think some of them have become a little too "open mic night" with the comedy stuff (looking at you, Thor: Ragnarok). I know people who are burnt out on Marvel films who say they all come off the same, but I don't feel that way at all. I almost always have a great time watching and I expect that'll continue for some time. Very interested to see what they do after the Infinity War sequel, I really hope they don't reset the universe as long running continuity is one of the best things they have going.
Never got into the TV shows so far, tried a few episodes of Daredevil but it didn't grab me. Also watched the Agents of SHIELD pilot with similar results. I could probably get into them if I wanted to but my TV plate is already pretty full. I do want to try Jessica Jones at some point though.

Contact the magazine that posted a negative article about electric cars
Contact the magazine that posted a negative article about electric cars
Actually, comments are active and allowed on the site.
One of the author's main points seems to be that since we are in a fossil fuel based economy, everything we make must necessarily use lots of fossil fuels in its production, and therefore we should not be making electric cars. This raises the question of why we should be making anything at all in such an economy, but he does not address this.
Then he makes a point out of how some mining operations are managed in the most horrid manner causing all sorts of local misery around their region. This is indubitably true but it's not clear why this is a much greater concern for electric car manufacturing than it is for anything else we make.
Then he goes on a FUD-spreading trip about how horrible it would be if EV batteries were not properly recycled but instead introduced into the food supply. That section best ignored. (I will note though that ICE fumes are in part recycled through your lungs.)
The more interesting part of the article is where he refers to the National Academies study. I haven't read that but if it's anything like other life cycle studies it's going to be hampered by the twin effects of comparing EV life cycle to ICE life cycle and concluding that an EV will live for as long as an ICE does which is unlikely to be the case; and the rapid pace of innovation in EV drive train design and manufacturing: A study published in 2010 is likely to be rather outdated by now. As a concrete example he refers to the use of rare earths in EV motors, something which should not be much of an issue in Tesla vehicles. The study might still hold something of interest though, I should try to find the time to read it.

Thanks, Lisa, for all of your encouraging comments and bringing up Braxton Hicks contractions.
Yes, it seems these are Braxton Hicks contractions I am experiencing during exercise. These are also referred to as "false labor" but interestingly begin as early as 6 weeks into the pregnancy and are not perceived by the mother until about the 28th week. Exercising is known to increase the frequency and intensity. I can't find a good definition of them and I think that is because it is still not understood what their purpose is or how they are related to "true labor".
So I did a bit of research on them in the medical literature. All I found was Braxton Hicks contractions have never been shown to have an adverse physiologic affect on fetuses in normal pregnancies. In fact, they seem to increase heart rate variability and breathing variability, which can only be a neutral or good thing.
It was also believed by John Braxton Hicks who described them in 1871 that they improve blood flow to the fetus and "adapt... the position of the foetus to the form of the uterus." (what that last part means, I am not sure). Here's JBH:
It is further theorized today that these contractions soften the cervix, increase the strength of the uterus and thus the more you have, the easier and less painful your labor will be. None of the last part is supported or refuted by any data. But, what the heck? Anything that might make labor a little easier and has no adverse effect on the baby is worth a shot.
Is Braxton Hicks not the perfect name for a saxophone player? I'm sorry, I just thought it was so funny that this jazz man shares a name with false labor.

Junior minister George Eustice resigns over article 50 vote
Minister resigns in protest against
Theresa May
agreeing to possible
Agriculture minister
George Eustice
has resigned from the government over Theresa May's decision to allow a vote on delaying article 50, saying it would be "the final humiliation of our country".
Eustice, a long-standing Brexiter and former Ukip candidate, said he wanted to be free to participate in debates in parliament in the coming weeks, saying he resigned with "tremendous sadness".
The ex-minister said he would vote for May's withdrawal agreement but said he felt he had "stuck with the government through a series of rather undignified retreats".
Eustice said he felt the prime minister had been "terribly undermined" by ministers and MPs who did not want the referendum result to be carried out.
"I fear that developments this week will lead to a sequence of events culminating in the EU dictating the terms of any extension requested and the final humiliation of our country," he said in his resignation letter.
Though he said the prime minister had shown "tenacity and resilience", he suggested both the prime minister and parliament had lost its nerve. "What our country needs from all its political leaders at this critical juncture is courage, and we are about to find out whether parliament has it," he said.
Eustice, the MP for Camborne, Redruth and Hayle, also criticised the conduct of the Brussels negotiators. "I do not believe that the commission has behaved honourably during these negotiations," he said.
"They have deliberately made progress slow and difficult. They have stated in terms that they will refuse to even hold substantive negotiations on a future partnership until after we leave.
"If the position of parliament is now that we will refuse to leave without an agreement then we are somewhat stuck. This is uncomfortable for everyone, but we cannot negotiate a successful Brexit unless we are prepared to walk through the door."
Eustice said that MPs should be prepared to vote to leave with no deal and "have the courage, if necessary, to reclaim our freedom first and talk afterwards".
A former farmer, Eustice stood for Ukip in 1999 and worked on the no campaign against the euro but then worked for the Conservative party under Michael Howard, eventually becoming press secretary to David Cameron when he was leader of the opposition.
In his letter to the prime minister said that he would "do what I can from the backbenches to try to salvage this sorry situation and I hope that, when the moment comes, parliament will not let our country down".
May announced on Tuesday for the first time that she would give MPs a vote on seeking an extension to the article 50 process if the House of Commons failed to pass her Brexit deal on 12 March. First MPs will be given a vote on 13 March on whether to leave the EU without a deal, followed by one the next day on whether ministers should seek an extension.
The announcement led to a revolt in parliament on Wednesday night by Conservative Eurosceptics, 20 of whom voted against an amendment setting out the schedule of votes, with more than 80 abstaining.

My son – The Big Guy – injured his knee last fall and had minor surgery to repair a torn meniscus. This is huge in his world because he is a college football player attending school on an athletic scholarship.
This past week he injured his knee again and I am beside myself with worry about him, his emotions, and his future. Of course I am not at all concerned about his football, that is the least important to me, but not to him. We have different perspectives and different priorities. Truthfully though this is a minor injury and if we can get him to rest and stay off his knee this should clear on its own, but I still worry. The Big Guy is only 18 and can't see beyond the next few years.
For many of us that face breast cancer we often find that our priorities are different than our family's or our doctor's concerning treatment. We may want to save our breast but our family just wants to save us so they encourage a mastectomy. Our doctor may think aggressive chemo and treatment is required and we resist because we wonder if the side effects are worth the cure. Weighing our priorities is not always easy, even if those who love us see it as simple when it comes to saving our lives. In the end, the doctor generally respects what we want but it is hard for our family to accept our choices when their priority is different than ours, though they often have the clearer perspective and can help us make the best decision.
It reminds me of a woman my surgeon told me about who refused to have a mastectomy since she loved and wanted to keep her breasts against all medical advice. A week later she came back ready to have the mastectomy after discussing it with her family. It should have been an easy call, but not for her. Often when we make these difficult decisions we need the perspective of our loved ones. We just find it hard to live with the "what ifs". Living with the "what ifs" is still better than the alternative, because being here for our family is the reward.

Beauty & Artisanship in Berber Life
December 2, 2004–August 30, 2006
Now online!
Imazighen! features an extensive collection of cultural artifacts made by the Berber peoples of North Africa in the early to mid-twentieth century. Elegant etched and cloisonné jewelry, punched and embroidered leather work, inlaid metal and wood saddles, and glazed pottery highlight a sophisticated artisan culture that has received little attention, even within the context of Islamic world arts.
Never displayed before, the objects chosen for the Imazighen! exhibition express the aesthetic vision of rural craftspeople working within a distinctive design tradition, significant both for their local influence, as well as for their role within the greater mosaic of Islamic world arts. Some objects show the commonalities among regions through their use of shared geometric motifs and symbols; others retain a distinctly local flavor. Yet all of the items bear the imprint of the diverse cultural traditions—Berber, Arab, Islamic, Mediterranean and African—that have shaped North African artisanship over the centuries.
Artistic production among the Berbers traditionally focused on making objects for everyday use. Women made pottery and basketry; wove carpets, blankets, and clothing; and added embroidered decoration to leather goods. Men produced metal locks and keys, jewelry, sandals, saddles, and other leather items. Although these objects were destined for daily use, the artisans put great effort into making them beautiful, as well as practical. Although artistic production continues to thrive within Berber communities, and many items continue to be made, many others have been replaced by mass-produced, and imported goods.
Imazighen! focuses on these artifacts and the stories they tell about the daily life and culture of the Berber people in the recent past, with special attention to the craftspeople who made the objects and the ethnographers who collected them.

Insanity poster queen, Cindy Sheehan, is planning on taking her ramblings to Europe. I'm sure the spineless cowers in Europe will love her as much as they did here. Here's a thought. Stay there Cindy. Europe seems to like to blame Bush and the Jews for everything as well. You'll fit right in.

When lives are on the line or business continuity is jeopardized ...
Have the peace of mind that your dispatchers have the best tools available to respond quickly and effectively. Whether your organization is large or small, with basic or complex needs, our dispatch communications solutions provide the reliable connectivity, intuitive operation and robust functionality to ensure everyone gets home safe or power is restored.
The console is the core to your dispatch operations. Motorola offers a variety of console configurations to meet the needs of dispatch centers from a simple desktop to a large multi position console configuration.
Desktop Consoles are self-contained radio dispatching units that control single or multiple base stations. Consoles may be remotely located in another part of the building, a branch office, or even in another city. Multiple desktop consoles can work in parallel to access and control a radio system.
You need a flexible and affordable VoIP radio console solution to transmit dispatch quality voice over your existing multi-cast enabled Ethernet network. With the ability to connect up to 100 remote users and flexible licensing with 1, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 channel software options, the MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console is designed to meet your requirements. You can connect up to 128 radio resources to the network and configure them in the Console System Database Manager (CSDM). Plus, save configuration files on each operator position to allow a dispatcher to access and control different combinations of radio resources (up to 48 at a time). The console system consists of two parts – a graphical user interface (GUI) and a radio gateway or gateways.
MIP 5000 VoIP Radio Console Features
Page History Window, Single button paging and Knox tones:
Paging needed by many small fire departments
Drag and Drop Patching:
Provides Interoperability between radios from different manufacturers

To complement the MOTOTRBO™ portfolio of digital two-way radio systems, Motorola has partnered with premium application developers across the industry to create a range of applications that add unique value to your MOTOTRBO radio system.
With options designed for your business, this portfolio of dispatch consoles applications has the features you need to make quick decisions, mobilize a fleet and keep teams informed.
RadioPro provides remote access to Motorola MOTOTRBO radios via IP Networks. PC-based client software presents a user with either a console for dispatching simultaneous radio channels (RadioPro Dispatch), a low-cost user interface for PC users (RadioPro Talk), or a mobile app (RadioPro Mobile) that runs on iPhone/iPad and Android devices. As shown in the diagram, a system may have a mixture of Dispatch, Talk , and Mobile Clients. The IP Gateways interface the radio system to an IP network, ensuring easy wide-area deployment without purchasing and configuring server PCs.
RadioPro combines flexibility to solve any Radio-Over-IP challenges, ease of system expansion, and cost savings over other solutions.
The newly redesigned SafeDispatch v7.0 is a professional client-hosted software application that enables two-way users to host and manage an intuitive radio system display, Voice Dispatch and AVL solution on their own computer without incurring any monthly fees associated with other web-based or cellular options.
Scout is a true VoIP console system: all its components may be distributed over a LAN/WAN using standard Ethernet connections. The system uses a wireline interface to connect with MOTOTRBO systems, for increased functionality, call capacity and system reliability. Scout provides a dedicated media workstation. This allows customers to operate on standard hardware for reduced costs. Radio, Telephony, and I/O integration are supported.
SmartPTT Basic is a software application for integrated control of MOTOTRBO systems. SmartPTT Basic is used for small or middle-sized radio systems with a limited range of features: Few radio subscribers (about 50 subscribers), Telephone interconnect is of marginal significance, and Simplex frequency is available or a specific site territory doesn't allow a communication channel for direct connection of a repeater to a radio server.
TRBOnet Enterprise is a feature-rich and robust control room solution designed to work with MOTOTRBO two-way radio systems of any size and complexity. The software was first launched in 2008, and has become one of the leading dispatch systems in the world.
This state-of-the-art IP-based dispatch system offers a wide choice of additional modules, which means that it can be tailored to individual requirements. The intuitive GUI greatly reduces learning time and allows operators to concentrate on tasks that matter. The IP nature of this product makes it extremely flexible and scalable, so your system can grow up with your requirements.

Haute Harajuku
Bustling, vibrant, endlessly imaginative and completely electric, there is little doubt why Harajuku is not only one of Tokyo's most famous areas but one of the most recognised fashion destinations in the world!
Bringing the Olympics back to Tokyo
While last summer's Olympic fever might be over here in London, the excitement has only just begun on the other side of the globe. As an extremely dynamic city, rich in culture and buzzing with activities, it's no wonder that Tokyo has already been pegged as one of the favourite candidate cities in the bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Art Basel Hong Kong 2013
Debuting for the first time this year in Hong Kong, Art Basel was established in 1970 in Basel, Switzerland by a group of gallery curators, with a primary purpose to emphasize the connection between art galleries, their artists, private collectors and public institutions.
Discovering the Best of Manila
The islands of the Philippines (consisting of over 7,100 in total), are absolutely brimming with pristine beaches, world heritage diving sites, killer surfing, and five-star beachside resorts. To reach these amazing sites, one has to travel through the capital city: Manila. While the great metropolis functions as the main travel artery to reach any of the gorgeous beach destinations awaiting, it's also a great place to spend a few days in its own right, before exploring the islands in the distance.
Eat, Drink, and Love Hong Kong
I first came to Hong Kong as a wide-eyed teenager, straining my neck to see the massive buildings that seem to abound on every corner of Hong Kong. I was also amazed at how green the city was, with over 80% of the total city area covered by government-run country parks. The city offers a great dichotomy of fast-paced city living set to the stunning backdrop of picturesque tropical jungles and coastal beaches.

A transient ischaemic attack, also called a "mini stroke", is a serious condition where the blood supply to your brain is temporarily disrupted.
Common symptoms of a transient ischaemic attack include your face dropping on 1 side, not being able to lift your arms, and slurred speech.
Treatments often used after a transient ischaemic attack include medicines to prevent blood clots and surgery to improve blood supply to the brain.
Transient ischaemic attacks are usually caused by a clot blocking the blood supply to the brain. They're often linked to an unhealthy lifestyle.
You can reduce your risk of transient ischaemic attacks by doing things like eating healthily, exercising regularly and not smoking.
