Super Mario Maker 2 is a great sequel that makes me miss the Wii U
When the original Super Mario Maker came out on the Wii U in 2015, I called it the console's "defining game." The entire experience of crafting your own 2D, side-scrolling Super Mario levels felt perfectly suited to the Wii U's bizarre setup: you could tweak levels using the touchscreen tablet in your hands, and then play through them on your TV. It was a near-perfect marriage of software and hardware. Flash-forward four years, and Super Mario Maker 2 on the Switch has everything you could want from a sequel. There are all kinds of new building options, including slopes, on / off switches, and the terrifying Angry Sun from SMB3 as well as other very welcome features like custom win conditions. Nintendo has also created a surprisingly robust story mode that's great for teaching you about the game, but it also stands on its own as a solid Super Mario experience. The sequel improves just about every area of the experience. But it also makes me miss the Wii U and its wonky controller, which just so happened to be perfect for Mario Maker. At its core, Super Mario Maker 2 is the same as the previous iterations in the series, which includes the sadly hobbled Nintendo 3DS version. It's really more of a tool than a game, one where you can build something very specific: classic 2D Super Mario levels. You can choose from a range of terrain, power-ups, enemies, and gadgets to do whatever you like, and you can utilize the visual style from games like Super Mario World and Super Mario 3D World, each with their own unique elements. These levels can then be uploaded to the internet and shared with other users (provided the level is actually beatable). The result, at least with the original game, was a huge community of creators designing a seemingly endless supply of strange, challenging, and inventive levels that Shigeru Miyamoto would've never thought of. The Switch version simply adds more — a lot more. One of the biggest changes is the new custom clear conditions, which dramatically alters the kinds of levels you can design. Typically, you beat every Super Mario level in the same way: making it to the end without dying. But what if you needed to do other things as well? You can make a level where you can only complete it if you don't jump or another where you need to carry an object across the finish line. Naturally, there's also a large array of new building blocks as well. You can add a Koopa Troopa Car to make something like a side-scrolling shooter or the Cat Mario power-up for wall-climbing fun. Building is a very intuitive process: you can simply drag and drop items into your level and instantly playtest anything you add in. If you're not a practiced level designer, the sheer amount of options may be intimidating. But one of the best things about Super Mario Maker 2 is how it eases you into the world of game design. There's an incredibly helpful series of tutorials, for one thing, which not only teach you the basics of how things like vines or "?" blocks function, but it also contains lessons on more cerebral topics like finding inspiration, creating atmosphere, using pen and paper for tracking ideas, and finding a balance between challenge and fairness. (One of the lessons is called "Seriously, treat the player fairly.") By far, the best way to learn about everything is through the new story mode. It's essentially a full-fledged Super Mario campaign tacked onto the creation tool. It's not stitched together in the same way as a traditional Super Mario game, so you won't be making your way through various themed worlds. Instead, you'll play through a series of distinct levels under the guise of earning enough coins to rebuild the Mushroom Kingdom. As you build the castle, new levels and paths will open up. What's great about these levels is that they show you, in a very tactile way, some of the things you can do with the various tools at your disposal. The campaign is a wonderful source of inspiration. For instance, my favorite level takes place in a dark cavern where you can only see what's immediately around Mario. When you take a turn down an unknown path, a screeching horror movie-style music prompt plays, making it the first Super Mario level I've ever played with jump scares. So far, so great. Super Mario Maker 2 takes an already solid premise and builds on it with new tools and a fantastic story mode and tutorial. The problem, though, is in the hardware. Everything works well enough in portable mode, where the design process is as simple as using the touchscreen to drag objects around your level. Some people might prefer a stylus, but I found that my finger worked just fine. But the process changes quite a bit when the Switch is docked in TV mode. Using a controller to create a level is a fiddly process; you're essentially using the left stick as a mouse cursor, dragging it around the screen, and making it tough to create intricate or complex designs. A big source of frustration for me was the menus erratically popping up around the side of the screen. The obvious solution is to design levels on the tablet and then play them on your television, and it's not a terrible situation. If I hadn't played previous games in the series, it probably wouldn't be such an issue for me. The problem is that a more elegant solution already exists with the Wii U. (This might be the only time someone uses the words "elegant" and "Wii U" in the same sentence.) I'm really enjoying my time with Super Mario Maker 2, but I still feel like something is missing when one half of the experience is far superior in portable mode. This isn't to say that I don't recommend the game. Super Mario Maker 2 is an excellent sequel, and I'm incredibly excited to see what the community does with it when it officially launches. I also really enjoy playing through levels on the go, something that wasn't possible with the Wii U. But while there have been plenty of Wii U games that migrated to the Switch — including Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze — this is the first time I've ever pined for the clunky Gamepad. It'll probably be the only time, too. Super Mario Maker 2 will launch on the Nintendo Switch on June 28th.Sport

It's a well-known conundrum in the rules and regulations of the rock'n'roll canon: If it is popular, it must not be good. While AC/DC has millions of fans the world over and can continue to sell out arena tours (even with a completely different and controversial lead singer), they have very few critical accolades to show for it. They've won only one Grammy – for a song released in 2010, no less – and even the likes of Billy Joel managed to beat them into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.
Something about this experience was powerful enough to convince countless members of the upper- and middle-class stratums of our society to drop out of traditional life paths and blindly follow the Grateful Dead, as they toured the country throughout the 1970s and '80s until Garcia's untimely death on August 9, 1995. These young kids found something in the community of the band that they couldn't find elsewhere. They found a sense of community and belonging that didn't exist elsewhere.
The end result of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing technology was not only that the floodgates of the Internet's capacity for copyright evasion were flung wide open, but that, perhaps even more significantly, an entire generation of media consumers got to experience a long and sinful taste of high-dosage downloadability. With so much free material available through a simple search-and-click function, the limits of music ownership were defined only by the size of one's hard drive and the speed of one's dial-up.
In the days before independent labels or DIY recording, it's a miracle the Velvet Underground were allowed to step foot inside a studio at all. But they were – and for that, we mostly have Andy Warhol to thank. Shortly after they first started playing together, the Velvet Underground got a low-paying residency spot at a club whose patrons were less than enthusiastic about some of the group's material. After one performance of "The Black Angel's Death Song," for example, they were told if they ever played it again they'd be fired on the spot. But for the group, that was part of the thrill.
"The issue isn't that the younger demographic doesn't like Elvis," Rosemarie O'Brien, General Manager for the Collingwood Elvis Festival, told me. But the challenge of attracting newcomers still weighs on organizers' minds. "I just don't think [younger people] have ever been educated on what Elvis did for music history and how it impacts and influences what they get to listen to now." The animated zeal of tribute festivals, however, has the potential to engage neophytes in a way that static museum displays or textbooks cannot.
Axl's high-pitched caterwauls and Slash's furious guitar licks may contain all the classic trappings of hair metal, but it was the way GnR crafted their image through MTV music videos that launched the group out of the niche-market bins and into the mainstream. But in the end, MTV also proved to be the band's downfall. With no limits to their financial resources or artistic egos, Guns N' Roses were free to push the medium to its extremes: sometimes the risks paid off, demonstrating both what the band and the music video form itself was capable of. Other times, the very limitations of MTV became all too clear.
It goes without saying that the Internet and digital software have radically changed the ways we consume, create, and interact with art, not least of all music. It's no wonder then that Patreon was co-founded by a financially-frustrated musician: Jack Conte, one-half of the duo Pomplamoose, themselves early pioneers in the viral-video potential of YouTube. But ad-based revenue, Conte explains, wasn't earning the band nearly enough money to cover the costs of their production, let alone basic living expenses.
More than 40 years after their initial formation in New York City in 1973, the band KISS is still living – and selling – large. Since their misleadingly-named "KISS Farewell Tour" in 2001, the group has toured consistently nearly every year, performing over 450 concerts in stadiums and amphitheatres across North and South America, Europe, and Japan; their merchandise sales alone within the same 15-year span topple $500 million.
But the Dolls were also tougher, sloppier, and more aggressive than any of those '60s rock bands had dared to be, a rambunctious brawl of electric sound that strongly foreshadowed the punk revolution of the later 1970s. Songs like "Looking for a Kiss" and "Trash" dealt with subjects like heroin and drug addiction with an almost perverse nonchalance; watching them perform live, as Nick Kent described it, was "almost as if Donny Osmond ditched his brothers, started taking downers and grew fangs, picked up with a bunch of heavy-duty characters down off 42nd Street and started writing songs on topics like premature ejaculation."
When Taylor Swift's 1989 album became the only record of the year to reach platinum level, that was the second biggest news in music of 2014. The most important news of the year in the industry came when Swift pulled her entire catalogue from the popular streaming service Spotify one week after the release of her album. The move, more so than spark a heated though admittedly civil battle between Swift and Spotify, has opened the gates to a debate about the future of the music industry.

As a young man, few books exerted anything like the formative power held by Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. Despite the grim acceptance of a world with conflict and war, Vonnegut still fell into writing an anti-war book, perhaps an anti-war book highly ranked among the best. This year marks the 50th anniversary of its publication, and, accordingly, Modern Library has released a new edition with a foreword by Kevin Powers. And, as the foreword shows in splendid detail, the lessons of Slaughterhouse-Five are just as relevant today as they were in 1969.

Such is the field upon which the mouth in portraiture has been debated: an ongoing conflict between the serious and the smirk.

Paleo and keto can overlap, though there are some major differences in the core of each way of eating. The Paleo diet focuses on whole, natural foods that would have been available as food to our paleolithic ancestors. If it could have been hunted or foraged, then it would have been eaten. Some people on a Paleo plan also focus on what would have been growing in season, and in a certain region of the world for their genetic ancestors. Carbs are overall allowed in a Paleo plan, but they would come from whole foods like potatoes, sweet potatoes, fruits, honey, and other unprocessed sources.
Researchers believe that the ketogenic diet can also help patients with schizophrenia to normalize the pathophysiological processes that are causing symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, lack of restraint and unpredictable behavior. One study found that the ketogenic diet lead to elevated concentrations of kynurenic acid (KYNA) in the hippocampus and striatum, which promotes neuroactive activity. Some studies even point to the elimination of gluten under the ketogenic diet as a possible reason for improved symptoms, as researchers observed that patients with schizophrenia tended to eat more carbohydrates immediately before a psychotic episode. (15)
IF is choosing a smaller window of time during the day to consume your daily allowance of calories, and using the rest of the time to fast, or not eat anything. During the fasting period, you can still have beverages, provided they contain no calories. Most people choose a 6 or 8 hour window to eat in, and usually do this by skipping breakfast to only have lunch and dinner.
¢ Multiple Sclerosis: In a small 2016 study, patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were put on a ketogenic diet. After six months, they reported improved quality of life, as well as physical and mental health improvements. Before doctors or researchers can make a connection between keto and MS, they need bigger sample sizes and more thorough research. Still, the preliminary findings are exciting.
œThese past 60 days have changed my life. I found out about it from a friend on Facebook and never looked back¦. It has quickly become my lifestyle and it's definitely one of those fad diets you find everywhere. Aside from weight loss, I've gained a confidence that I never knew I had inside. My relationship with my husband and family has improved exponentially. When my body reached ketosis, my life changed along with my pant size!!! Keto Fit Diet for the win!
Hi I having problems figuring out how to eat Keyto n lose weight. I've actually gained 7lbs in 2 months :( Wondering how u eat veggies without going over your carbs n how do you get all the fats in. I've put the requirements into my fitness pal(macros) but I'm still not losing. Mine are set at 5% carbs 25% protein n 70% fats. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm allergic to gluten some dairy n eggs. Any help would be great so I can start losing instead of gaining Thank you Donna
There are variations of the ketogenic diet that are implemented for a variety of reasons. One of the top reasons these variations are used are for athletes who are not getting the necessary energy required for their intense workouts. There are also those who enjoy the benefits of ketosis, but they just do not feel the same without a carb refeed day every now and then.
A œmoderate keto diet is an option that can still encourage substantial weight loss and other improvements in symptoms. A moderate keto diet includes more foods with carbs and, therefore, more fiber too. Carbs are usually increased to about 30"50 net grams per day, which means foods like more high-fiber veggies, some fruit or some starchy veggies can also be included.
I'm honestly a little skeptical about it the idea of keto permanently. My brief glance at the literature seems to imply that it can have side effects of kidney stones, skeletal fractures, and slow the growth rate of children, but that was a study on kids with epilepsy (which it treated very effectively), so who knows how that applies to adults. And the other studies I found dealt with overweight and obese subjects, so it may be hard to find something on the long term effects on otherwise healthy adults.
Use our keto calculator to calculate the exact macros you should be eating. Remember, substituting more fat for carbs or protein is almost always ok. In fact, if you're worried about losing muscle mass because of decreased protein consumption, you may not need to worry. There has been evidence that while in a state of ketosis your body actually maintains protein better than in a standard diet.
The keto diet is currently being used as a safe and effective addition to the treatment of several types of cancer and can help slow tumor growth. As an example, we'd like to point to a promising study showed the intracerebral growth of the CT-2A & U87-MG tumors (related to malignant brain cancer) is significantly decreased by about 65% and 35% (27).
A modified version of the ketogenic diet, which allows you to eat protein more liberally " at 20 to 30 percent of your total calories " with the same carbohydrate restriction, is the more commonly used version of the diet today. Some of the aims of the latest version of the ketogenic diet are weight loss, weight management, and improved athletic performance.
What is the keto diet? Rather than relying on counting calories, limiting portion sizes, resorting to extreme exercise or requiring lots of willpower (even in the face of drastically low energy levels), the ketogenic, low-carb diet takes an entirely different approach to weight loss and health improvements. It works because it changes the very œfuel source that the body uses to stay energized: namely, from burning glucose (or sugar) to dietary fat, courtesy of keto recipes and the ketogenic diet food list items, including high-fat, low-carb diet foods.

Basically, fat within your blood travels as lipoproteins, along with cholesterol, proteins, and phospholipids. In order for an artery to be œclogged, there needs to be a small tear in its inner wall first. These tears can be due to stress, smoking, a highly-processed diet, etc. In order for the walls to be repaired and thus prevent œclogging, Vitamin E must be used. Vitamin E, being a fat-soluble vitamin, requires fat in order to be available for your body to use. Therefore, the consumption of fat can help your arteries self-heal and thus prevent œclogging.
Most alcoholic beverages don't list the ingredients or nutritional information on the label, so be prepared and check your favorite drinks online so you know your limits beforehand. Most apps and trackers list many types of alcohol in their database, and this is the easiest way to be sure of what you're drinking. Be warned, when you're in ketosis your alcohol tolerance will go down, so you might not want to drink as much as you might be used to.

Over 8"10 mmol/l: It's normally impossible to get to this level just by eating a keto diet. It means that something is wrong. The most common cause by far is type 1 diabetes, with severe lack of insulin. Symptoms include feeling very sick with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and confusion. The possible end result, ketoacidosis, may be fatal and requires immediate medical care. Learn more
The Ketogenic Diet is unlike any other diet in the world in that it utilizes a high fat, minimal carbohydrate and moderate protein system in order to reset your body's ability to burn unwanted, stored fat. By restricting carbohydrates that are converted into glucose, you begin the journey to re-program your metabolism to start burning stored fats for fuel and energy instead of first burning beneficial glycogen that is stored in your muscles.
The keto diet changes the way your body converts food into energy. Eating a lot of fat and very few carbs puts you in ketosis, a metabolic state where your body burns fat instead of carbs for fuel. When your body is unable to get glucose from carbs, your liver converts fatty acids from your diet into ketones, an alternative source of energy. Burning ketones in place of glucose reduces inflammation and spurs weight loss.[1]
Net carbs are used because fiber is not fully digested as energy, and does not impact your blood sugar the same as a regular carb. This is why you should still eat plenty of high fiber, low net carb vegetables¦your body needs that fiber, and it won't hurt your ketosis. Still confused on what a net carb is? Check out how to read a nutrition label on the keto diet.
IF is choosing a smaller window of time during the day to consume your daily allowance of calories, and using the rest of the time to fast, or not eat anything. During the fasting period, you can still have beverages, provided they contain no calories. Most people choose a 6 or 8 hour window to eat in, and usually do this by skipping breakfast to only have lunch and dinner.
Net carbs are what we track when following a ketogenic diet. This calculation is pretty straightforward. Net Carbs = Total Carbs " Fiber. For example, one cup of broccoli has 6g of total carbs and 2.4g of fiber. That would mean one cup of broccoli has 3.6g of net carbs. We count Net Carbs because dietary fiber does not have a significant metabolic effect.
¢ Increasing muscle mass " Jeff Volek, Ph.D., is a registered dietitian specializing in how a high-fat, low-carb diet can affect health and athletic performance. He's written many scientific articles on this topic, as well as two books, and he explains that ketones have a similar structure to branched-chain amino acids that can be useful for building muscle mass. Ketones spare these amino acids, leaving higher levels of them around, which can help promote muscle mass.
¢ Weight loss " If you're trying to lose weight, then a ketogenic diet is one of the best ways to do it, because it helps access your body fat so that it can be shed. Obese people in particular can benefit from this method. In one study, obese test subjects were given a low-carb ketogenic diet and a low-fat diet. After 24 weeks, researchers noted that the low-carb group lost more weight (9.4 kilograms or 20.7 pounds) compared to the low-fat group (4.8 kilograms or 10.5 pounds).1
A: It's generally recommended that only 5 percent of your daily diet is allocated to carbohydrates because if you consume more than that, your body gets thrown off ketosis. However, this is only for SKD, or the standard ketogenic diet. If you're an athlete or a bodybuilder, you can consume more carbs without affecting ketosis by following a targeted ketogenic diet (TKD) or a cyclic ketogenic diet (CKD).
Ketogenic diets, like most low carb diets, work through the elimination of glucose. Because most folks live on a high carb diet, our bodies normally run on glucose (or sugar) for energy. We cannot make glucose and only have about 24 hours' worth stored in our muscle tissue and liver. Once glucose is no longer available from food sources, we begin to burn stored fat instead, or fat from our diets.
You should know that the side effects of a ketogenic diet are still being studied. In addition, there have not been significant studies for long term dieters. There are plenty of people that have used the diet long term (10+ years) and very happy with it. It is up to the unique individual, so regular checkups with your doctor are recommended to check that "everything looks good".
It truly depends from person to person. While some may be able to stay in ketosis while consuming 80 grams of carbs, others may not be so lucky. Quite a lot of people within the population can go quite high in their carbohydrate consumption and stay in ketosis, granted they have no blood sugar dysregulation. The longer you have followed the keto diet, the more your metabolism remains in ketosis after a higher carb consumption.
¢ Cyclic ketogenic diet (CKD) " Whereas TKD is focused on fitness enthusiasts, CKD is focused more on athletes and bodybuilders. In CKD, you cycle between a normal ketogenic diet, and a short period of high carb consumption or "re-feeds." 8 The idea here is to take advantage of the carbohydrates to replenish the glycogen lost from your muscles during athletic activity or working out.9
¢ Constipation: No one likes to feel backed up, and sadly if you're not careful about your diet choices when going keto, it could become a regular concern. One 10-year (albeit small) study looking at the effects of a keto diet on young children found that 65 percent experienced digestive woes. Thankfully, going keto is not a life sentence for problem bowels. Since you're cutting out whole grains and fruit (two of the most common sources of fiber), aim to up your fiber-rich veggies, and consider a supplement.
After about two to seven days of following this eating routine, you go into something called ketosis, or the state your body enters when it doesn't have enough carbs for your cells to use for energy. Then it starts making ketones, or organic compounds that your bod then uses in place of those missing carbs"and oh, it also burns fat for more energy, says Beth Warren, R.D., founder of Beth Warren Nutrition and author of Living A Real Life With Real Food.
To be confident about being in ketosis, especially at the beginning when you're not quite sure how you should feel, it's best to measure your ketone levels. By monitoring your ketone levels, you can assure that you're doing the diet correctly and make dietary adjustments based on what you measure. People also respond to diet and exercise differently, so the best way to cater the keto diet to your own biology is to measure.
For athletes, research on the keto diet highlights potential improvements in athletic performance, especially when it comes to endurance activities. An article suggests ketogenic-type diets may allow endurance athletes to rely mostly on stored fat for energy during exercise rather than having to refuel with simple carbohydrates during endurance training and competition while additionally improving recovery times. (10)
Your lean body mass is your total body weight minus your fat. For example, if you currently weigh 180 lbs (81.65 kg) and your body fat is at 30%, your lean body mass is 126 lbs (57.16 kg). In order to obtain the amount of protein you need to eat daily, you need to multiply 126 per 0.6 to 1.2, and you'll get a range of 76 to 151 g protein/day. 75.6 g would be the minimum amount you need in order to maintain your bodily functions and muscle mass.
In a state of ketosis, your body breaks fat down in the liver and converts it into ketones to be used for energy. Fat doesn't generate an insulin response, so insulin levels remain stable. This makes it much harder to store excess fat, and easier to tap into body fat stores for energy. Not only will this allow you to maintain your weight, but it will greatly encourage weight loss.
H. Guldbrand, B. Dizdar, B. Bunjaku, T. Lindström, M. Bachrach-Lindström, M. Fredrikson, C. J. Östgren, F. H. Nystrom, œIn Type 2 Diabetes, Randomisation to Advice to Follow a Low-carbohydrate Diet Transiently Improves Glycaemic Control Compared with Advice to Follow a Low-fat Diet Producing a Similar Weight Loss, Diabetologia (2012) 55: 2118. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-012-2567-4.
Sleep enough " for most people at least seven hours per night on average " and keep stress under control. Sleep deprivation and stress hormones raise blood sugar levels, slowing ketosis and weight loss a bit. Plus they make much it harder to stick to a keto diet, and resist temptations. So while handling sleep and stress will not get you into ketosis on it's own, it's still worth thinking about.

Bendemeer construction site TNR bills
We conducted 2 final rounds of TNR at the Bendemeer construction site where the old SCDF building used to be, this month - here are the bills:
sterilisation reimbursement.
Just to share with you, our readers, how the sterilisation reimbursement is administered on our end: we fill in a printed copy of the reimbursement form, fill in the important details about the cats neutered, the invoice numbers, the billed amount from the clinic etc, like so -
Currently the limit of claims per month per person - CWS member or otherwise - is at $500 per month. So we have just used our General / Operations Fund to purchase another CWS annual membership to claim reimbursement for the Eunos Crescent TNRM project that is also taking place this month. Our current CWS membership is also expiring next month and we will be renewing that too so that we can keep replenishing our Sterilisation Fund.
And remember - Cat Welfare's sterilisation reimbursements for caregivers nationwide are possible only because of funds donated to CWS. So, if you haven't found a reason to sign up for CWS membership or to make regular donations to the leading cat welfare advocacy group in Singapore - it's time to do so today! (You can view CWS's annual financial reports here).

Google Maps' 'driving mode' can guess where you're going
The latest version of Google Maps for Android has a new feature called "driving mode" that makes the app a cinch to use for everyday commute and regular errands.
According to Android Police, the mode gathers info from your location and web search history to guess your destination.
It then shows you traffic updates, road block info and estimated time of arrivals based on that guess. You're supposed to be able to access the feature through a shortcut or via the navigation menu, but there seems to be a bug that makes it hard to activate.
AP says that you need check Driving notifications and click "Add Driving shortcuts" under settings to be able to access the mode. However, you'll need to restart the app and poke around before those options even appear (see the image below to know what you're supposed to see).
Besides driving mode, the updated Maps app adds an Audio toggle right on the navigation page that you can use to mute, unmute and switch sounds on for alerts only.
In addition, it adds a settings screen where you can curate what appears (such as your Google Photos) on your timeline. The update's currently being rolled out, and it might take a while to get it. If you don't mind dealing with the driving mode glitch that'll likely be fixed later, though, you can download the APK from Android Police right now.
