StagewiseNN - Building developmental tree from single-cell data¶
StagewiseNN is a computational tool for constructing developmental (lineage) tree from multi-staged single-cell RNA-seq data.
It starts from building a single-cell graph by connecting each cell to its k-nearest neighbors in the parent stage, followed by the voting-based tree-construction and an adaptive cluster refinement.
The single-cell graph can be further visualized using graph embedding methods, e.g. UMAP, SPRING.
We have used it to build the developmental tree from the snRNA-seq of amphioxus embryonic cells, across nine developmental stages (“B”, “G3”, “G4”, “G5”, “G6”, “N0”, “N1”, “N3”, “L0”), where seven major lineages were recognized.
StagewiseNN can also be applied on scATAC-seq data sampled at multiple timepoints, once the peak-by-cell matrix is transformed into a gene-by-cell matrix (i.e., the gene activities).
Installation¶
Requirements:
python >= 3.6
scanpy: https://scanpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html
scikit-learn: https://pypi.org/project/scikit-learn/
Install stagewiseNN with PyPI, run:
pip install swnn
Alternatively, install from source code:

python setup.py install
Usage¶
See Tutorial for using stagewiseNN for detailed guide.
import swnn
# ====== Inputs ======
# data_matrix = ..
# stage_labels = ..
# group_labels = ..
# stage_order = [f'stage_{i}' for i in range(5)]
builder = swnn.Builder(stage_order=stage_order)
# step1: building a (stage-preserved) single-cell graph
distmat, connect = builder.build_graph(
X=data_matrix, stage_lbs=stage_labels,
)
# step2: build a developmental tree from the single-cell graph
edgedf, refined_group_lbs = builder.build_tree(group_labels, stage_labels,)

I have experimented with Valerian root several times my only complaint is that I have to take so very much it often causes me to have an acid reflux reaction otherwise I would up the dose. I found it to have a pleasant side effect which sparked an interest in dream research. It was years ago that I had tried it and since then I have lost some weight and seem to have less of a likeliness of acid reflux occurrence. Last night I tried it again and had a mild effect not as strong as before. I believe it may be a chemical that can build up in the blood stream. So I will stick to the same dose and consistently try over a few days.
The symptom is like others have described I get the intended restful sleep as a bonus though vivid dreams. In the morning I start to wake an hour or so before I get out of bed naturally always have. However with the Valerian I can distinctly remember a dream Iím having and close my eyes starting where I left off. I can even remember the dream and think of interesting scenarios managing to go right back into the same dream and experience the envisioned scenario. I seem to be half awake and half asleep however lucid and aware of my surroundings. My wife asked me where her car keys were for example and I suggested where she might find them after going through last nights steps after arriving home. All the while having my dream on pause, I then closed my eyes and went right back into the dream.
In the past I have experimented with combinations of Melatonin, Kava, Ginko-Biloba, I tend to get up in the middle of the night with a sweet tooth having a large bowl of ice-cream It seem to be that a large calorie / carbohydrate intake on an empty stomach such as this may increase the effect though Iím not sure why.
I think it could simply be that on the occasion of the midnight snack and taking the Valerian at that time might mean that the blood level of the drug my be higher approximately 6 hours later when awakening.

Gecode::Reflection::VarSpec Class Reference
[Reflection API]
List of all members.
Detailed Description
Variable specification
A VarSpec contains an abstract specification of a variable implementation. These specifications are typically stored in a VarMap.
The type of the variable is represented as a Symbol and called vti (variable type identifier). In order to find out what type of variable a VarSpec corresponds to, you can compare the vti with VarImp::vti of a concrete variable type (e.g. IntVarImp::vti).
The domain of a variable is represented as an Arg. The concrete encoding depends on the variable type.

About 750,000 poppies to be dropped over White Cliffs of Dover
The Remembrance Day event will mark 74 years since the end of the second world war.
Three-quarters of a million poppies are to be dropped over the White Cliffs of Dover in an emotional tribute to the fallen for Remembrance Day.
An original second world war Dakota aircraft will fly over the landmark at exactly 11am GMT on Sunday, flanked by two Spitfires.
As the nation falls silent, the Dakota will soar above the Kent countryside to mark 74 years since the end of the second world war.
Veterans from several conflicts, including the second world war, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan, will signal the drop from on board the Dakota as the formation reaches the sky above the cliffs.
The event is the brainchild of Kent-based Aero Legends, with proceeds going to the annual Poppy Appeal.
Aero Legends, managing director Ben Perkins said: "Commemorations like this are incredibly important to remember those who fought and continue to fight for our freedom."
The bio-degradable poppies will be dropped at exactly 11am GMT on Remembrance Sunday above the Battle of Britain War Memorial next to the White Cliffs.
The aircraft will fly past at an altitude of just 500 feet (152.4 metres) and a team of volunteers will ensure the poppies are cleared up after the ceremony.
The sight of three original second world war aircraft dropping the poppies is sure to provide a moving tribute to those who fought, and continue to fight, for their country.
The Dakota will carry five veterans, including three former RAF men who served during the second world war.
The battle-scarred aircraft - known to its crew at the time as "Drag 'Em Oot" - is itself a veteran of the conflict and took part in the troop drops on D-Day.
It still has 40 bullet holes in its fuselage dating back to those battles.

President Louis Le Jeune
Salut! Welcome to the home of the Capetians. I am Louis Le Jeune the Seventh, of the House of Capet. That’s right! I am directly descended from the founding members of this great fraternity. With your help, I will aim to maintain the high standards that the esteemed leaders of the past have strived to uphold.
Origins
The Capet Fraternity was founded in 1804 not long after the French Revolution. It originally began as an ‘invite-only’ salon in Paris where mostly young men of noble birth were taught how to navigate upper society. It continued to be so for almost a century until the Capet family eventually transformed the salon into an official private school for the wealthy.
Transformation
The school itself did not survive the ravages of the second World War. Instead of rebuilding it again, the Capet family decided to integrate what remained of the school with Sorbonne University. Louis-Auguste the Fifth, a student at the time, sought to maintain the original teachings and principles of the Capet school. He then established what would be the first chapter of the Capet Fraternity in Paris.

Every Image object has type property which identifies its colorspace. The value can be one of IMAGE_TYPES enumeration, and set of its available values depends on its format as well. For example, 'grayscale' isn’t available on JPEG.
>>> from wand.image import Image
>>> with Image(filename='wandtests/assets/bilevel.gif') as img:
... img.type
...
'bilevel'
>>> with Image(filename='wandtests/assets/sasha.jpg') as img2:
... img2.type
...
'truecolor'
You can change this value:
with Image(filename='wandtests/assets/bilevel.gif') as img:
img.type = 'truecolor'
img.save(filename='truecolor.gif')
See also
You can find whether an image has alpha channel and change it to have or not to have the alpha channel using alpha_channel property, which is preserving a bool value.
>>> with Image(filename='wandtests/assets/sasha.jpg') as img:
... img.alpha_channel
...
False
>>> with Image(filename='wandtests/assets/croptest.png') as img:
... img.alpha_channel
...
True
It’s a writable property:
with Image(filename='wandtests/assets/sasha.jpg') as img:
img.alpha_channel = True

 It’s different from Stagnatin’.
When SHIT BEEN SPOILT the problem don’t have nothing to do with outside circumstance.
It ain't happen from crab asses rising, ill brothers rolling, or streets going dark.

That's all.
When True Player pulls into some SHIT BEEN SPOILT, he stays clean.
Like a train pulling up to the platform, True Player moves brothers.
Rolls them someplace better.

After about 15 years of being gone, smcrossover is once again back! We are currently rebuilding a brand new site from scratch, we're not really sure what all will be here when we relaunch. The site was once the home of crossover fanfiction stories, particularly featuring the Sailor Moon anime series. So sit back and relax, we'll be back with a brand new look and feel in no time flat.

Robbie Williams vows to take Liam Gallagher down as he calls him a 'school bully'
The pair have since fallen out and continued to have take low blows at each other after becoming friends in the 90s
by Lily Waddell, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/lily-waddell/Robbie Williams pledged to take Liam Gallagher down.
The singer, 45, branded his long-time frenemy a "school bully" in a scathing tirade about their ongoing feud.
Outspoken Robbie confessed he has to get "even" with someone and cited his friendship with Gary Barlow as an example of this.

He told The Sun : "In the past I've been obsessed by getting even with people - and Gary [Barlow] was one of them. We had a sibling rivalry. We were the original Liam and Noel.
"As for Liam, I admire him. He is the voice of a generation, the last of a dying breed, as pop stars are so boring these days.
"But I still want to fight him. He represents a school bully to me and I would like to take the bully down."
Despite once being friends in the 90s, the pair have since fallen out and continued to have take low blows at each other.
Recently, they clashed over a venomous Twitter spat.
Knowing what he was in for, Robbie had no qualms dragging up their old feud just weeks ago.
Robbie and Liam were briefly friends in the 90s and put on an incredibly friendly display at Glastonbury in 1995.
Earlier this year, the Let Me Entertain You flirted with their feud when he called on fans to abuse his rival on Twitter during a show at his Las Vegas residency in March.
Robbie called upon Liam to fight him during the 2000 Brit Awards.
Liam responded by labelling Robbie the "fat f****** idiot" on stage in 2010.

Permazen is a better persistence layer for Java
Mainstream persistence solutions such as JPA and JDO fail to address many important issues that are inherent to persistence programming. This is because they were not designed to address these issues; they were designed merely to give Java programmers access to existing database functionality.
In particular:
- Configuration complexity Do we have to explicitly configure how data is mapped? Are we forced to (ab)use the programming language to address what are really database configuration issues?
- Query language concordance Does the code that performs queries look like regular Java code, or do we have to learn a new “query language”?
- Query performance transparency Is the performance of a query obvious from looking at the code that performs it?
- Data type congruence Do database types agree with Java types? Are all field values supported? Do we always read back the same values we write?
- First class offline data Can it be precisely defined which data is actually copied out of a transaction? Does offline data have all the rights and privileges of “online” (i.e., transactional) data? Does this include index queries and a framework for handling schema differences?
- Schema verification Is the schema assumed by the code cross-checked against the schema actually present in the database?
- Incremental schema evolution Can multiple schemas exist at the same time in the database, to support rolling upgrades? Can data be migrated incrementally, i.e., without stopping the world? Are any whole database operations ever required?
- Structural schema changes Are structural schema updates performed automatically?
- Semantic schema changes Is there a convenient way to specify semantic schema updates, preferably at the Java level, not the database level? Do semantic updates have access to both the old and the new values?
- Schema evolution type safety Is type safety and data type congruence guaranteed across arbitrary schema migrations?
- Transactional validation Does validation only occur at the end of the transaction, or randomly and inconveniently in the middle?
- Cross-object validation Is it possible to define validation constraints that span multiple objects/records?
- Language-level data maintainability Can data maintenance tasks be performed using the normal Java types and values? Are there convenient tools for manual and scripted use?
Permazen addresses all of these issues, this without sacrificing flexibility or scalability.
Permazen does this by treating the database as just a sorted key/value store, and implementing the following in Java:
- Encoding/decoding of field values
- Enforcing referential integrity; forward/reverse delete cascades
- Field indexes (simple and composite)
- Query views
- Schema management
- Change notification
- Validation queues
- Command line interface
Permazen also adds some new features that traditional databases don't provide.
- Designed from the ground up to be Java-centric; 100% type-safe at all times.
- Works on top of any database that can function as a key/value store (SQL, NoSQL, etc.)
- Scales gracefully to large data sets; no "whole database" operation is ever required
- Configured entirely via Java annotations (only one is required)
- Queries are regular Java code - there is no "query language" needed
- Change notifications from arbitrarily distant objects
- Built-in support for rolling schema changes across multiple nodes with no downtime
- Supports simple and composite indexes, including on user-defined custom types
- Extensible command line interface (CLI) including Java 8 expression parser
- Built-in Java-aware graphical user interface (GUI) based on Vaadin
Permazen Paper
The paper Permazen: Language-Driven Persistence for Java describes the issues that are inherent to persistence programming and how Permazen addresses them.
Abstract:
Most software applications require durable persistence of data. From a programmer’s point of view, persistence has its own set of inherent issues, e.g., how to manage schema changes, yet such issues are rarely addressed in the programming language itself. Instead, how we program for persistence has traditionally been driven by the storage technology side, resulting in incomplete and/or technology-specific support for managing those issues.
In Java, the mainstream solution for basic persistence is the Java Persistence API (JPA). While popular, it also measures poorly on how well it addresses many of these inherent issues. We identify several examples, and generalize them into criteria for evaluating how well any solution serves the programmer’s persistence needs, in any language. We introduce Permazen, a persistence layer for ordered key/value stores that, by integrating the data encoding, query, and indexing functions, provides a more complete, type-safe, and language-driven framework for managing persistence in Java, and addresses all of the issues we identify.

Phill's impressions of the dev academy culture.
Based from Sheereef's Fireside Chat
9/11/14
(Cult)ure, the art of being.
- That's how I've always interpretated it anyway.
What impressions do I have from the video clip 'Sheereef's Fireside Chat' about the culture at dev academy? My first overwelming impression was one of a taosit framework incorparating the principles of hermactisim and alchemy.
To break that down a little, the culture of "oh yucky there's a hair in my soup, wont someone take it out" -is quite rightly banished and reminds me of the taosit principle of the dao or the way - which is a way of living in acceptance that there is only the dichonomy of right and wrong in the human mind, not in nature. The Dao teaches there is only the way things are.
This moves onto the second part of the complaint "wont someone take it out?"
(This is the philosphers stone capable of turning lead into gold and is represented best by the scupture 'the thinker')
I have the impression that turning lead into gold is one of the quests of dev academy and like building a pyramid, all tasks need to be broken into small perfectly shaped blocks, under the watchful eye (scope) inside a triangle (the three lines of quality, cost and time). Thats how you build. Sheerfes also touched on the devils of "what if I am not good enough" and "what if I'm the best thing ever" and expressed a true framework for dealing with both these mind set - To either make them flexible and self aware enough that they are indeed just devils that need to be banished by instilling a flexibility of mind or completely exsorsized if that doesn't work.
I see myself interacting with this culture in any way that will be percieved as adding value. That value can't really be calculated until I find my feet but I think you'll find me adding value, unafraid to speak or shut up and an ability to learn from just about everything in the 100% focus that hindsight brings.
My expectations of dev academy haven't really changed at this juncture as I haven't yet seen enough repeating behaviour from the dev academy organisim to start predicting what will come next.
Yes - I am excited. Yes - I'm nervous. And yes - I'm trying my best to not let either of these two things mess with my worldview and the tasks at hand.

Now here's Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order on the lowest settings
by Jody MacgregorYou may have seen The LowSpec Gamer's video about getting Red Dead Redemption 2 to run on settings that are lower than low. Well, now he's back to do the same thing to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Fallen Order hides its low settings from you in the menu (although some players have reported enabling them), with 'medium' as the lowest option visible. But open up the GameUserSettings.ini file and you can drop the foliage quality, textures, shadows, anti-aliasing and so on way below that. The LowSpec Gamer manages to tease a few more frames out of Fallen Order on a bottom-end PC even if it's at the cost of some jagged edges and a poncho that looks like it's made of old yoghurt.


Mourinho Reveals His Targets In First Interview As Spurs Boss
by David KappelAfter Jose Mourinho sensationally took over at Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, the Portuguese tactician gave his first interview as Spurs' coach, revealing his targets for his new club.
Click through the mini-gallery above to some images of Mourinho’s first Spurs training session.
The 56-year-old, who had been without a club since being sacked by Manchester United in December 2018, has replaced Mauricio Pochettino as Spurs coach.
His appointment sent shockwaves through England before he sat down with Spurs TV for his first interview as the London team's boss, revealing that he wants to make the club's fans happy and improve his new side's position on the Premier League log.
"I couldn't be happier and look forward to the challenge," he said.
"What can I promise? Passion, real passion. Passion for my job, but also passion for my club, that's the way I have been all my career, and I want to try, obviously, everything to bring happiness to everyone who loves the club.
"In relation to the Premier League, we know where we are and we shouldn't be there. We should just play match after match, and the next match we want to win, which will be the same after the next and the next, until the last.
"At the end of the season we will see where we are, but I know we will be in a different position from where we are now."

Mourinho also praised the quality of the Spurs squad, as well as the club's youth academy.
"I always told about the club's potential," he added.
"I always told about the qualities of the players, I always told about the magnificent work the club was doing to keep all the good players that the majority of the big clubs in Europe would be looking for.
"I really like this squad. Of course, I'm not going to say names, I'm not going to tell you individuals because this is completely against my concept of what a team has to be, but I like a lot the ability of the squad.
"There is not one manager in the world who does not like to play young players and help young players to evolve, there is not one.
"The problem is sometimes you get into clubs and the work that is below you is not good enough to produce these players, but when you have them, the managers are always happy to develop these players, so I look to our history and you see that the academy is always giving the talent the first team needs.
"Of course, I also look forward to work with that profile."

Oh, hi again. So you've read all the guides and are raring to start killing those Chias. (Right? Right? If not, go to the guide page right now, mister. Or miss.)
As I was saying, you probably feel invincible with your knowledge of Obliterating stuff, throwing potions at stuff, and being all-around 1337. (OK, maybe not that last part.) But before you start, you've got to read the last little bit. I promise, it really is the last thing before the walkthrough. So scroll down a bit to see the Walkthrough Tips.
You can't just start playing NQII willy-nilly like that.  So read these tips. And remember to follow them.
See, that wasn't so hard, now was it? Now we can (finally) start playing. *applause*
All right, we're ready to start! First off, click me to start a game. Keep hitting "Continue" until you get to Trestin Village. But before we start actually playing, we're going to die. Yes, you heard me right. Click on "Hunting" next to "Travel" so that Hunting gets bolded. Congrats! You've just switched to Hunting mode. Now "switch" back to Normal mode. Now back to Hunting. You're learning already.
Now to, uh, get killed. Walk west from where you start so you leave town. Then walk back and forth a bit until you run into a Plains Lupe. Start the fight and then hit Wait 5s each time your turn comes.  Congrats! By dying to the weakest baddie in the game, you got an avatar. And they say NQII is hard. Pfft.
Now we're going to take revenge. *cackles* OK, so stay on Hunting mode (stay is a hard vocab word: it means to not change your travel mode! Gasp!) Anyway. Walk outside town but don't go anywhere yet. Walk back and forth (go west one step, then east one step... or north, then south... the possibilities are endless.) When you run into a Plains Lupe, kill it. If your HP bar turns yellow (ooh look this isn't yellow... scary), switch to Normal mode and walk back into town. Talk to mom and she'll heal you to full health for free.  Then switch back to Hunting and start, well, hunting again.
Keep beating up those Lupes until you grow to level 2 if you're playing Normal mode, 3 if Evil, and 4 if Insane. (See what I wrote? That was 61 characters. I'm lazy so I'll write in the format 2/3/4 from now on. If you don't understand the syntax, just hover your mouse over the 2/3/4.) If you get hurt, run back to mom.
Once you grow to level 2, you're going to get a skill point (you read about that, right?) Now to spend it. Look to your right and you'll see a table called "skills." (Wonder what that could be...) Look to the row that says level 2 and look right next to the 2. See the words Damage Increase next to it? (If you want to see more info, just hover your mouse over the skill name.) Now go to your skills page (when you're in the overworld, look right next to your health bar. Bada bing.)  Click on the red letters and confirm. Congrats, you just spent a skill point!
OK, from now on I'm not going to waste a paragraph telling you how to spend skill points. If you're cool enough to read this guide in the first place, you're smart enough to have caught on by now. So remember, right now you're at level 2/3/4 and you've spent all the skill points you've earned. Now we can move on. *cheers*
So you've gotten your (now useless) avatar and are ready to start beating up tougher stuff. Good news, you can. So leave town on Normal mode and go north into some hills. We're going to do some training here. What's that? You'll find out.
Basically, all training is is walking around on Hunting and fighting. Not that glamorous, eh? Yeah. Well now that you're in the hills, practice some of this training stuff. If your HP goes down so that your HP bar turns yellow/red (I prefer the more technical you get hurt), switch to Normal mode and run back to mom. When you're healed start training again.
Once you level up to level 3/4/5, spend your skill point. Now go to your map site and open up the Western Plains map. See that cave in the northwest corner? Yeah, you wanna go there. Right now you're near Trestin Village. So switch to Normal mode (whenever I say something like that, I mean Normal travel mode, not Normal difficulty) and walk your way over to the forest near the cave.
Now that you're in the forest (right?) start training. I hope you remember what that means. If you're hurt, use those Healing Vials everyone seems to carry. You know how to do this in battles and in the overworld. All right? So grow to level 4/5/6 in this forest. Spend your skill point (I think you're getting annoyed by this... so I'll stop.) And, uh, look at that. We're at the end of the section already. And it only took us 4 paragraphs. You're turning pro already! *fist bump*
I admit the first two sections took a while to read. I'll stop babying you after this section. I promise (I'm being serious for once.) Oh yeah, the game. But first a word from our sponsors.
Uh, sorry about that. I didn't recommend that color scheme or that Kacheek to them. Anyway, use the walk-heal method after each battle. The few HP adds up in the long run.
OK, so you've probably scrolled down a lot to get that annoying walking Kacheek off your screen. If you get lost in this cave (hopefully you won't), use the left-hand method you read about.  But we'll come back to this later.
Now open up your map site to the Dark Cave/Gold Mine map. You're in the northwest, you wanna get into the building in the southwest. So switch to Hunting mode and make your way through the cave (I think you know how to), beating up the baddies as they come.  Use a Healing Vial if you're hurt.
So keep on walking and chewing gum (not required) until you land on some train tracks. Before you move on, train to level 5/6/7. Once that's done, spend the skill point take the southwest fork in the road.
Look at your map site and look at the 4-way intersection in the west of the building. Get there and train to level 6/7/8 once you're there. Use only Healing Vials here, don't use those funky new Healing Flasks. The minute you level up, switch to Normal mode, do not pass go, do not collect 200 NP.  Say hi to your first boss and then get ready to kill him. Haha.
| Recommended Level: | 6 on Normal 7 on Evil 8 on Insane |
| HP: | 50 on Normal 62 on Evil 75 on Insane |
| Special Abilities: | None. Lucky you. |
| Prizes: | 2 Healing Flasks 1 weapon/armor 100 NP |
Once he's got the skull on him, give yourself a pat on the back. You've just beaten your first boss. He'll drop either a sword or armor, so go to your Inventory and equip that. After that, step into the teleporter behind him to get warped outside the cave.
Open up your map site to the Western Plains map for a second. See that one-square-wide land-bridge thingy to the west? Switch to Normal mode and make your way over to that.
Once you're there, open the Northern Marches map. See the town of White River in the south? Walk there on Normal mode, beating up any Gelerts who get in your way. Step onto the city...
...and you'll get warped into town. You can sightsee if you like but that's not why we're here. We're going to do some shopping. But first we're gonna rest cause we're cool like that.
Walk south a few steps. See the conspicuously marked inn to your east? Yeah. Enter that and talk to the Tonu behind the counter (yes, you can talk to him across the counter.) Ask him to stay there.  Saves you a good bit of walking.
So exit this inn and go across the street to the weapons/armor/potions shop. Talk to the dude behind the counter. You're going to buy either a sword or armor... but it depends on what the Miner Foreman gave you. If he gave you a sword, buy the armor. If he gave you armor, buy the sword.
Now go back to your inventory and equip what you just bought. Talk to Tebor again and buy 10 Blast Potions. Also buy as many Healing Vials as you can carry. Just keep clicking Buy 10 next to Healing Vials until you get a red error message. Once the shopping's done, we can leave town.
Now open up your map of the Northern Marches. See the forest northeast of White River? Well, switch to Hunting mode, leave town, and train in the forest until you're level 7/8/9. If you're hurt you can rest at the inn. Save your Healing Vials.
Once you've leveled up, switch to Normal mode and look at your map again. See the entrance to the Underground Cave in the northeast? Make your way over there and step on the entrance to the cave.
Smelly. Well, at any rate, we're gonna train around the entrance of the cave until we're level 8/9/10.
So once you've leveled up, you're ready to start moving through the cave. That's coming up, right after these messages.
Uh... yeah. Again, not my idea. Just use the left-hand method if (when) you get lost. Anyhow, now open up your map to the Underground Cave. You're in the northwest corner, and you need to get to the southeast corner. Switch to Hunting mode and make your way through the cave, beating up any baddies you run into. Just follow the puddles.
OK, so once you get to the end of the cave, stop, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. We're actually going to gain 2 levels here. So train up to level 10/11/12. If you're hurt, use Healing Flasks or Healing Vials if you really want to. Just save those Healing Potions (yeah there's a kind of healing potion called a Healing Potion.)
Once you've leveled up you can leave the cave. Woohoo! Now you're on a bite-size island, and you'll see a tower thingy nearby. Walk onto it to enter.
Enter that but don't go too far. Yeah, we have to train to level 11/12/13 at the entrance of the tower. Keep using those Healing Flasks cause we want to save the Healing Potions.
Once you've leveled up, switch to Normal mode and open your map to Mysterious Tower, Level 1. Walk over to the stairs in the northeast corner of the room, running away from any skeleton dudes you run into.
Now you're on Level 2 of the tower. Change your map accordingly. Find the stairs in the southeast and go up to Level 3. Good news! There's a new baddie for you to beat up, and he'll give out more EXP than the skeleton dudes. Unfortunately he hits kinda hard so use those Healing Flasks. Use as many as you like, actually, cause we won't be needing them much anymore.
Train up to level 12/13/14 (don't worry, that's the last level you have to gain before you face Zombom. I'm serious.) Glance at your Level 3 map if you need to and walk onto the stairs. Now you're on Level 4 of the tower, and Zombom's just south of you. Switch to Normal mode, heal up if you need to, and walk on down.
| Recommended Level: | 12 on Normal 13 on Evil 14 on Insane |
| HP: | 120 on Normal 150 on Evil 180 on Insane |
| Special Abilities: | Decimate - 31HP Direct Damage Zeal - 18% Haste Aid - 40HP Heal |
| Prizes: | 3 Healing Flasks 1 weapon/armor 100 gold 200 NP |
If you died...
Oof, sorry to hear that. You'll respawn in White River. If you have fewer than 5 Blast Potions left, buy 5 more. Then switch to Normal mode and open up your map site to the Northern Marches. Enter the cave (and open up your map for that), and make your way through it. Then go through the Mysterious Tower. You can get your rematch with Zombom at the top.
If he died...
Nice job! Not many people can beat the fat elephant (yes, I have tons of nicknames for Zombom.) Equip the new sword/armor he gave you and step onto the teleporter. You'll be outside the tower. Open up your map for the Underground Cave and switch to Normal mode. Follow the puddles back to the exit in the northwest. You're now in the Northern Marches. Make your way back to White River.
Congrats! You've just finished Act 1, Part 1. For more baddie-bashing fun (now with the help of Mipsy, the wizard with attitude), visit the Act 1.5 Guide on Fordulat's page. So it looks like you won't be coming back to this page anymore... looks like goodbye for now. *sniffle*

Most Reliable
Toyota Yaris
This workman-like subcompact comes in two- and four-door hatchback versions, with the former being more stylish looking on the outside and the latter offering more in the way of cargo-carrying flexibility. It’s small, slow and simple but has a history of reliability, and fewer gadgets mean less components to break down over time.
Toyota RAV4
The compact Toyota RAV4 crossover SUV receives myriad improvements and fresh styling for 2013 that features a conventional lift-up tailgate instead of the side-hinged refrigerator-door style hatch it’s featured since the vehicle’s inception. It remains both durable and family friendly.
Acura RDX
Like all the model-year 2013 cars and trucks we’re predicting to last for 250,000 miles with proper care, the RDX gets high marks from J.D. Power and Associates for both initial quality and mechanical reliability over the initial three-year ownership period, received better-than-average ratings for durability from Consumer Reports and is expected to be reasonably inexpensive to maintain and repair, according to data compiled by Intellichoice.com. The agile RDX was upgraded for 2013 with the Honda Accord’s powerful and proven V6 engine and assorted improvements that include a smoother ride and reduced levels of noise, vibration and harshness.
Going green
Hybrid and all-electric cars are becoming a mainstream reality. Electric cars have engines that run on electricity and do not require gasoline. Hybrid cars use electricity for short distances and gasoline for long drives and high speeds. These eco-friendly cars come with many advantages to the consumers. Fuel Costs
The most obvious benefit of owning a hybrid or electric car is the increase in fuel costs. Owning either one will result in fewer trips to the gas pump. These savings really add up over time. A hybrid car will save the driver about 38 percent in fuel in the city and 19 percent on the highway. The only cost in fueling an electric car is the electricity to charge the battery. Energy Security
Oil is a limited resource, meaning it will eventually run out and become unavailable. An electric car takes this worry away because it does not depend on gasoline at all. A hybrid will use a lot less gas than a traditional engine. An owner of a hybrid can feel confident in knowing they are saving this precious resource. Tax Benefits
The government offers a tax deduction for buying an eco-friendly car. This is to encourage more people to consider choosing a more environmentally friendly option when buying their next car. Less Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Carbon and sulfur emissions are greatly reduced in hybrid cars and eliminated altogether in electric cars. Reducing toxic emissions means cleaner air and a healthier environment. By using biodiesel or ethanol in place of gasoline for hybrid cars, drivers can reduce their vehicle’s toxic emissions by as much as 97 percent. Faster Commuting Times
To increase the incentives for buying an eco-friendly car, major highways are beginning to add lanes that are designated for use only by these cars. As these cars become more popular, it is likely we will see more of these lanes available. Some places are also beginning to designate close, or even free, parking spaces. Power Efficiency
Materials used in eco-friendly cars weigh less than traditional ones, meaning they maneuver and handle easier. Because they run on electricity, they can operate and function well at any speed. Power is consistent whether driving at high or low speeds. They do not need a transmission to make the engine run at full power, even at lower speeds, like gas-powered engines
Used Car Buying
Learn what rights you have when buying a used car. Contact your state or local consumer protection office.
Find out in advance what paperwork you will need to register a vehicle. Contact your state's motor vehicle department.
Check prices of similar models using the NADA Official Used Car Guide published by the National Automobile Dealer Association or the Kelley Blue Book. These guides are usually available at local libraries.
Research the vehicle's history. Ask the seller for details concerning past owners, use, and maintenance. Next, find out whether the car has been damaged in a flood, involved in a crash, been labeled a lemon or had its odometer rolled back. The vehicle identification number (VIN) will help you do this. Your state motor vehicle department can research the car's title history. Inspect the title for "salvage," "rebuilt", or similar notations.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists VINs of its crash-test vehicles and will let you search an online database of manufacturer service bulletins.
Vehiclehistory.gov and the National Insurance Crime Bureau’s free database are centralized places for consumers to buy information on the history of vehicles gathered from state motor vehicle departments and other sources. These reports are helpful but do not guarantee that a vehicle is accident-free.
The Center for Auto Safety provides information on safety defects, recalls, and lemons, as well as service bulletins.
Make sure any mileage disclosures match the odometer reading on the car.
Check the warranty. If a manufacturer's warranty is still in effect, contact the manufacturer to make sure you can use the coverage.
Ask about the dealer's return policy. Get it in writing and read it carefully.
Have the car inspected by your mechanic. Talk to the seller and agree in advance that you'll pay for the examination if the car passes inspection, but the seller will pay if significant problems are discovered. A qualified mechanic should check the vehicle's frame, tires, air bags and undercarriage, as well as the engine.
Examine dealer documents carefully. Make sure you are buying- not leasing- the vehicle. Leases use terms such as "balloon payment" and "base mileage" disclosures
Car Maintenance
Maintaining your car can help you avoid certain mechanical failures and keep you on the road longer.
Engine and tranny
Preventive maintenance can help keep your engine running longer, especially if it has high millage. There are a lot of ways to help keep your engine healthy and a few are listed below
Oil changes
this help keep internal parts of your engine lubricated so that heat and friction have less an impact on parts of the car. Dirty oil can drive down your mpg and clog up various parts of the engine leading it to failure. Engine oil should be replaced every 3000 and 10,000 for synthetic brands
Coolant flushes, this is almost as important as oil changes this helps keeps your engine from reaching high temperatures that can damage seals that keep fluids in place. As most liquids coolant losses its ability to draw heat from your engine over time and must be replace every 4 yrs or 50,000 miles.
Replace air filters every year. This helps keep dirt from entering the engine especially expensive sensonrs.
The transmission should have its oil level check every time you go in for an oil check. This help keep the tranny properly lubricated.
Tires
Tires is where the car meats the road and is an essential part that needs maintenance. Checking the tire pressure can help you avoid uneven tire wear and help maintain mpg.
Rotation of tires helps keep them on the road longer. The front wheels of a car wear out faster than the rear by rotating the tires you prevent over wearing of the front tires which can cause serious injury.
Brakes and rotors
This part of the car helps you stop. Not checking these parts can lead to a disaster. Things to look out for are
Brake fluid level
top up with dealer specified brand to help avoid unnecessary wear of internal parts.
Make sure your brake fluid is the right color. If it turns milky it is time for new fluid and replacement is necessary to avoid damage to critical parts of the breaking system.
Look at your brake pads and rotors to see if they are in good condition.

CaptureWorld 'captures' the properties (position, rotation, scale, alpha etc) of each entity in the 3D world.
This is then used in conjunction with the RenderWorld tween parameter in order to render an interpolated frame between the captured state of each entity and the current state of each entity. See the RenderWorld docs for a full explanation of render tweening. See also: RenderWorld. |
