Kevin wondered if fear of amputation was something people actually thought about when they put on their rings in the morning. All of the sharks questioned using fear as a selling point. They asked for a $500,000 investment in exchange for a 7.5% stake in the company. The three men yanked the rope, and the Enso Ring broke apart.Īfter the biceps cleared the tank, Brighton and Aaron made their pitch. But, wait – that’s not all! Two more bodybuilders appeared from behind the curtain as Jones placed an Enso Ring on his finger and clipped it onto a rope. The muscle-bound man demonstrated the dangers of wearing a metal ring by using his “500 pounds of pulling force” to tear the finger off a metal-ring-wearing plaster hand. The pitch began with Brighton Jones holding a metal wedding ring in his hand and referring to it as a “Finger Amputation Device.” Then, he literally brought out the big guns when an award-winning bodybuilder entered the tank. Enso Rings on Shark TankĪ post shared by Enso Rings on at 7:41pm PDT After applying to appear on Shark Tank three times, Jones and Dalley finally got the chance to pitch their product on October 8, 2017. ![]() Enso Rings are made from a proprietary silicone and are colorful, stylish, comfortable, and much safer than a traditional wedding ring since they’re designed to break apart if they get caught on something. It was a ring avulsion injury during a rock-climbing trip that prompted Salt Lake City pals, Brighton Jones and Aaron Dalley, to launch a Kickstarter campaign for Enso Rings as an alternative to metal wedding bands. ![]() Ring avulsion was given national attention back in 2015 when Jimmy Fallon had a two-week absence from the Tonight Show after he tripped in his kitchen, and his wedding ring got caught on the countertop. While ring avulsion is not a common occurrence, it is estimated that more than 150,000 people are affected each year. Ring avulsion occurs when a metal ring gets caught on something, and the physical force of pulling away from the snagged object can cause injury or even amputation of a finger. ![]() If you’ve never considered the dangers of wearing a metal wedding ring, you’ve never heard about ring avulsion.

It’s the best gift you can give yourself. Someone said, “You are not old by chronological age, you are old when you give up on your dreams.” I have met a number of people who are secret dream makers in people’s lives. No matter how young or old a person may be they still have dreams. They had a good time that day.Īs we move into another holiday season, why not look to help someone’s dream come true. When the schedule time came for George to take his dream ride, the rain stopped and the sun came out, as if God was saying, “I want to see this too!” After George’s dream celebration other residence of the nursing home remembered that was their dream too. The day of the event it rained and only 12 Harleys showed up. Calls went out to motorcycle clubs across the valley, and 150 cyclists signed up to make his dream come true. George exclaimed, “That’s not the same!” Finally it was time to take off the cast. George was not able, because of a cast on his leg. “What is it you want?” George replied, “I want to ride a motorcycle, not just any motorcycle, but a Harley!”īefore second wind could work on a dream for a patient, they have to make sure they are physically able to do it. Laurie that was a challenge she could not let go by. Laurie, don’t worry about my dream because, “the only thing I want you can’t do?” Well for Ms. The last story I want to share with you is a dream celebration for a man named George who told Ms. I went to a Rotary meeting one day and heard of someone just like that in Wheeling. Give to someone that can’t give back to you. It’s time to take the selfishness back out of Christmas. Yes, our family should be on that list, but also those that are less fortunate than ourselves. In a year of failing economy, home foreclosure, record job lost, you can still have a great Christmas. Not that I have anything against money, I accept all donations (smile). It’s not always about money, the things that might be remembered longer are our acts of kindness. Now we have an opportunity to give our best to someone else. For those that believe in the Christian way of thinking, God gave us his very best, in his only son. But your first date with her you took to the most expensive place you could afford, the Brown Derby.” He was right when you are in love you give your very best. My father told me that he knew I was in love with my then date who turn out to be my lovely wife, because he said “when you took all the other girls out on a first date you went to McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s or some other fast food restaurant. (John 3:16)” Which proves you can give without loving, but you can not love and not give. “For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. In reality, true Christmas gift giving goes all the way back to God giving the gift of his only begotten son. It was usually two bolts of fine cloth that may have cost their weekly salary. Even the royal garbage men sent the queen gifts, and it better not be garbage. Queen Elizabeth I demanded that she receive Christmas presents from the highest to the lowest of her court and employees - all the way down to the cooks in the kitchen. King Henry VII began a custom of Christmas “boxes” as a means to extract tribute from his subjects. But the kings made sure the gift giving was reciprocal, if you did not give a gift, you were not going to get one. King John of Magna Charta fame gave his servants gifts of fine clothes. King Richard the Lionhearted annually distributed his treasure among the knights and nobles at this time. English kings kept the spirit of giving alive, choosing Christmas time to spread the wealth. In England, in the 11th century, William the Conqueror set an example of gift giving by shipping the major part of his plunder, bounty, or loot from the defeat of the English Saxons to the Pope in Rome. ![]() Christmas was considered to be the greatest feast of them all, and Christmas time became the reason and the season to give costly gifts to each other. I mean let’s just admit it, who doesn’t love getting gifts? Getting gifts on your birthday is wonderful, how great is it to get gifts on someone else’s birthday too! When they did accept it, the custom was tied to a feast celebrated by the church. It was centuries before they accepted the custom. The early Christians, however, shunned Christmas-giving, for the very reason that it was popular among what they called the “pagan Romans.” At this time, Romans exchanged gifts of sweet pastry, lamps, precious stones and gold and silver. You need to dodge and then quickly throw them, a doubled-up move that’s much harder to pull off than it sounds. You can disarm a foe of their weapon, but like many manoeuvres in this scrappy game it is frustratingly hard to do. And that’s before any knives, staves, swords or spears are introduced. But the instant a second bunny joins the fray, my chances of survival plummet. I can often handle a single opponent without getting too badly hurt. Because all of this happens at a lightning pace, it often feels like most of your successful blocks come down to luckily mashing the right keys at the right time. This isn’t Arkham Asylum, there’s no blinking symbol or brief pause to show your enemy is about to hit low or high or attempt a grab, no tell-tale signposting save the motion of the enemy rabbit’s body as he actually goes for your skull or your legs. By the end of this tutorial I looked like a raspberry.īut Turner’s pain as a fighter is often your pain as a player. And even there the sparring partner, once unleashed from his programmed state of “allow all incoming knuckles”, thoroughly kicked seven shades of rabbit droppings out of me, not to mention slicing me to bits over and over again like a psychopath as I attempted to learn how to disarm and throw an armed opponent. Even before I hit the levels with multiple foes, I had to go back into the tutorial to learn the finer points of fighting and stealth. The first thing I noticed was how concrete hard it quickly gets. Successfully batter them all senseless and then it’s on to the next area – lush valley, desert dunes, snowy mountainside. This almost exclusively involves being plopped into a wide open level with a set number of guards to knock out or kill. At this point, it’s time to join Max Payne and the ten million other protagonists on the same bloodthirsty quest for revenge. He’s living in a nice grassy village when suddenly it comes under attack and his wife and child are killed. Your rabbit, Turner, is said to be a martial arts master. I felt like this was enough to finally give it a taste, and while it’s admittedly very gamey (nyuk nyuk) it’s still undercooked. It has had an Arena mode and two-player Versus mode for some time but last month it added a campaign mode, based on the story of its predecessor Lugaru. But it doesn’t mean there’s any real game here yet. Which makes the creation of the complex combat, the physics, the parkour, the AI and the levels an impressive thing. The reason it has taken eight years, and will likely take even more time, is because all the programming has been on one man, David Rosen of Wolfire Games. ![]() But unless you reeeeeally like that, the joy of it soon dries up. There’s a lot of pleasure to be got from executing the perfect series of kicks and punches against its tough, intelligent opponents, especially when they’re armed with heavy one-hit-kill swords. An anthropomorphic fighting game of swift kicks and raw punches to the side of the head, it is beautifully animated, pleasingly ragdoll, and Bruce Lee fast. Overgrowth is a game that has been eight years in the making and still isn’t anywhere near finished. This week, the rabbit kickboxers and ultra strong wolves of Overgrowth. If the AI decides that it has no chance of winning, the enemies fall back.Every Monday we send Brendan into the early access fighting pits to face all types of terrifying wildlife. The enemy characters can attack from the back or get together for an ambush. This allows the players to find their own path to level completion. Despite that, the players are free to explore the level as they see fit. Levels in Overgrowth introduce the players to their environment, tasks, and means of completing such tasks. Every animation will be different based on the environment, the character's mood and even individual traits. The game features an advanced physics-based animation system which allows for seamless transitions between animations. Attacks and counter-attacks are based on timing and contextual actions rather than the usual combos. Similar to the previous game, Overgrowth puts a strong emphasis on hand-to-hand combat. Turner refused to become the next king and left to explore the island. A rabbit named Turner that avenged his family by killing the Alpha wolf and a corrupt king. The main character was carried over from the previous game. Most of Overgrowth's plot is not revealed yet, as the game is still in early access stage of production. On a fictional island of Lugaru, after many years after the extinction of humanity, the world is run by humanoid wolves, rabbits, rats, cats, and dogs. It serves as a sequel to Lugaru, another title by the company. Overgrowth is an indie action game developed by Wolfire Games. We will keep you updated on the future of Urban Tale.

Finally, there are seven mountains and seven kings (Revelation 17:3, 9, 10). And a beast with seven heads (Revelation 13:1), and seven angels having seven vials containing the seven last plagues (Revelation 15:1, 7). Also there is a dragon with seven heads and seven crowns (Revelation 12:3). In addition, there are the seven angels with seven trumpets (Revelation 8:2), and the seven thunders (Revelation 10:4). Also, there is a book with seven seals (Revelation 5:1), the seven horns and seven eyes of the Lamb (Revelation 5:6). 16), and seven lamps of fire (Revelation 4:5). The number “seven” in the Revelation is seen frequently. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills” (1 Cor. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. The designation “seven” implies the variety of the gifts by which the Holy Spirit works through man. The fact that these seven Spirits are before God’s throne of “him which is, and which was, and which is to come,” implies also readiness for His prompt service (Revelation 4:2–5). The association here of the “seven Spirits” with the Father and with Christ, as the spring of the Christian’s grace and peace, means that they represent the Holy Spirit. He said, “Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne” (Revelation 1:4). The apostle John wrote from the island of Patmos to the seven churches in the province of Asia. ![]() In 2021, investors purchased a record $64 billion worth of homes - the most in at least two decades, according to Redfin. Investors have been purchasing up a storm - and keeping potential homebuyers outĪs investors flock to the real estate market, they're pricing out locals and disrupting housing ecosystems. Suburban neighborhoods adopting these strategies to keep out powerful investors is not only novel, as the Wall Street Journal reported - it's flipping the playbook. The strategies adopted by suburban homeowner associations for single-family homes are already common in apartment communities in metropolitan areas like New York City's, in a way that can often be exclusionary to Black and brown homebuyers. And some analyses show that these companies are mainly overtaking communities of color. According to one recent analysis, investors bought a third of all US homes for sale in January, the highest portion in at least a decade. He said that some of the homes in the subdivision owned by investors in his Walkertown neighborhood now look shabbier, and that their owners are difficult to contact to resolve problems.Ĭorporate landlords have been overtaking US suburbs in recent years, pricing out many first-time homebuyers - who are usually younger - and fueling the difficulties Gen Z and millennials have had seeking homeownership. "They're coming in, and they're basically bullying people out with cash offers," Chase Berrier, president of the Whitehall Village Master Homeowners Association in North Carolina, told The Wall Street Journal. Both tactics stymie the attempts of large landlords to rent the spaces. To combat these purchases, homeowners will often place caps on the number of homes that can be rented in a particular neighborhood, or require that potential tenants be vetted by an association board. Some of these HOAs believe that rental investors buying homes in their neighborhoods has made it difficult for local families to buy, the groups told the Wall Street Journal, and led to a decline in home maintenance, which has made their neighborhoods less desirable. ![]() Process and Task Mining - Vendor Landscape 2021-2022ĬFAxess - Our New DocuShare Command ConsoleĪBBYY releases FineReader Server 14 Release 3 Update 5ĭSTrashman - Automate expunging DocuShare's trash Windows update could affect DocuShare restartĮverest Group Intelligent Document Processing Products PEAK Matrix® 2022ĪBBYY FineReader Server 14 Release 3 Update 6Ĭustomer CFAxess Use Case for Inactive User Deactivation Scheduled update of ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud Prepare your FlexiCapture on-prem installation Microsoft's Exchange Online update could disrupt DocuShare emailĪBBYY FlexiCapture switching to MS Graph Mail API ![]() Use Process Mining to Automate Wisely, Not to Automate Everything Major Improvements in ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Release 4 Update 2 Onboarding Clients or Suppliers Using DocuShareĪBBYY Webinar - Proof of Identity in Onboarding Two options for Digital Mailroom Transformation Preview, read, and print your PDF documents with a built-in PDF Viewer.Have a look at some of our recent newsletters that will help you get the most out of your data capture and document management software and related third-party applications.Digitize without a scanner: Capture the documents with iPhone® or iPad® directly to FineReader PDF with Continuity Camera, or transfer images taken earlier to convert them.Manage document conversion: Choose between Quick conversion scenarios to get the task done in a few clicks, or Advanced conversion to control all details of the process.Protect documents digitized into PDFs with passwords.Digitize the documents into PDFs to work with, archive, or share: Convert them to searchable PDFs for easy retrieval, industry-standard PDF/A for reliable long-term archiving, or PDF/UA to ensure accessibility. ![]() Reuse and edit the content of PDFs, paper documents, and their scanned images by converting them to editable formats such as DOCX, XLSX, RTF, ODT, and others.You can view and edit existing PDFs quickly and effectively but the real benefit comes from its ability to convert paper documents, Gothic (Fractur) scripts, documents written in other languages and images before turning them into new, password-protected PDFs. ![]() It also takes into account all the ways in which you use PDFs.
