![]() ![]() In theory, this scarcity of enemy types should be counterable with strong level design. Even stranger to me is that while you fight plenty of Daemons it's always either Plague or Change monsters – never a mix of the two, which seems like it would have been an easy way to provide a bit of variety. ![]() Even obvious enemy variations would have been welcome: Every single Chaos Space Marine you fight is carrying the same boltgun and grenades, with not one plasma or meltagun to be seen. The other problem is that by halfway through the campaign you’ll have seen the last of the new enemy types and even bosses – there’s not more than 20 in total. Purge Mode enemies will keep spawning until you knock out a few key enemies – often the toughest ones like bigger Daemons, Chaos Terminators, and boss monsters. This is where Boltgun shines, asking you to make the most of your superhuman jumps, sprints, charges, and immunity to fall damage to evade and obliterate overwhelming odds. Boltgun rarely seems afraid to throw big hordes at you, even in small spaces: several times per level you'll hit a large space and the screen will tint red, indicating that you've entered "Purge Mode" and therefore are locked into a combat arena. In the Emperor's name, let none survive."Īnd there sure are a lot of baddies to un-survive. It’s a touch that’s deliciously suitable to the fanatical hyper-zealot warrior-monks that the Space Marines are and a nice callback to the infamous Space Marine mantra "My armour is contempt, my shield is disgust, my sword hatred. Speaking of commitment: You have health in Boltgun, but you don't have armor – you have Contempt. Also of note are the long-range plasma gun, the cone-shaped blast of the melta gun, and the precision beam of the volkite caliver, all of which fill a useful niche in your arsenal. I was a particular fan of the sticky grenade-firing Vengeance Launcher (making its triumphant return from Space Marine) and the Heavy Bolter which, in true retro-shooter fashion, never requires a reload – it just keeps firing until your ammo pool is dry. ![]() Speaking of weapons, there are eight of those plus your chainsword, which you can mash the button to rev in melee and make your enemies explode into strawberry jam. That means getting the hang of the run-and-gun combat and movement abilities in a bid to master level layouts and weapon types – something that the weapons in Boltgun lend themselves well to, as each has a special job to do. Like a lot of retro-shooters, Boltgun is probably best enjoyed by those who're interested in challenging its hardest difficulties. It takes something like eight to 10 hours to beat the campaign, which starts a bit slow but ramps up quickly into a strong middle section, and ends on a spree of unremarkable end levels that’re punctuated with some really unexpected and fun gems. ![]()

To amp up your results, feel free to brush with the natural whitening toothpaste and take a swig of the alcohol-free mouthwash-both of which include xylitol to help strengthen enamel. And if you’re looking for peroxide-free strips (which are hard to find!), you can’t go wrong with this Lumineux kit: The strips contain natural brighteners, coconut oil, sage oil, and lemon peel oil, while the pinch of Dead Sea salt delivers precious minerals-calcium, potassium, and magnesium, to name a few-to your enamel and gums. Some folks are fans of strips, since the adhesive evenly coats the tooth’s surface and leaves little room for error (whereas with a pen or tray, you must manually brush on the whitening gel). The instructions are super easy to use, and it is convenient to do every day.” ![]() After using this whitening device, I can see gradual improvement day by day. I am a heavy coffee and tea drinker and felt my smile was not as bright as before. It’s difficult to choose just one glowing review, but I think this one says it best: “ whitening device brightened my teeth and gave me back confidence in my smile again. In fact, a study conducted by the brand showed that three 8-minute daily applications, over five days, resulted in an average improvement of 10 shades. The mouthpiece calls upon the brand’s advanced heat technology to reach an optimal temperature that whitens teeth faster and brighter. This kit includes a patented LED mouthpiece with five clinically-backed teeth whitening treatments (enough for three 8-minute sessions over five days). This allows the peroxide to fizzle any stains off the teeth at a faster pace, leaving you with whiter teeth in less time.” “This is because the LED light kickstarts a chemical reaction to help speed up the breakdown of peroxide, the active ingredient in the solution that gets applied to your teeth. “While it’s not an active ingredient, an LED light can help facilitate the whitening process,” says premier cosmetic dentist Victoria Veytsman, DDS. I bring this up because I notice my teeth are whitest right after applying the product.” This is super convenient for putting in your pocket or purse and allows you to apply it whenever. This reviewer agrees: “The size is a big advantage compared to other products because it is basically the size of a sharpie pen. I haven’t seen the most dramatic whitening results, but I will say that the easy application makes this one an A+ option to use every day. I love the ease of a portable whitening pen ( I’ve written about it before), and this design is especially chic, user-friendly, and easy to tuck into just about any tote I own. Simply dip your pasted toothbrush into the dust one to two times per week to enhance your whitening results. The dust contains kaolin and bentonite clays, white turmeric, and sodium bicarbonate to physically lift discoloration-it’s like an exfoliating scrub for your teeth. The kit also includes a whitening toothpaste with sodium fluoride, peppermint oil, and a host of antioxidants, along with a “booster dust” you can use to manually buff away stains. A great option for instant gratification! Not to mention, it includes light-reflecting pigments for an instantly brighter smile. This on-the-go whitening pen features hydrogen peroxide to easily lift stains, as well as lavender oil, honeysuckle flower extract, and strawberry fruit extract to provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. ![]() The blue light is so convenient being able to plug up with your cell phone for power.” The pen is easy to use, and the gel doesn’t taste too funky, which is a feat for whitening formulas-it even has a slight peppermint flavor.Ĭountless reviews echo my praise: “I still get compliments on how bright my teeth are months after I used it,” one shopper writes. As I mentioned, I have pretty sensitive teeth and gums, but I experienced no pain with this whitening gel. This is the whitening kit I personally use, and I noticed a shinier surface after just one round. It includes 20 treatments, as well as a patented 20-LED light (with an automatic 10-minute timer) to boost your results and an enamel-strengthening pen for whitening aftercare. The whitening pen itself is powered by hydrogen peroxide, but I personally don’t find it to be irritating (and I have pretty sensitive gums). This whitening gel toes the line between gentle and powerful, promising up to seven shades whiter in just one week. ![]() ![]() Thank you for reporting spam and other rule-breaking content.

![]() ![]() I sometimes feel like it wouldn't be Christmas if I hadn't spent at least a day or two on social media defending Paul McCartney against the latest round of seasonal attacks on the synth-driven holiday genius of "Wonderful Christmastime." As of 2020, he is one of the wealthiest musicians in the world, with an estimated fortune of £800 million.View Gallery: Paul McCartney rocks Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix ![]() ![]() His honours include two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1999), an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, 18 Grammy Awards, an appointment as a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1965 and a knighthood in 1997 for services to music. McCartney has written or co-written a record 32 songs that have topped the Billboard Hot 100 and, as of 2009, had sales of 25.5 million RIAA-certified units in the US. Beyond music, he has taken part in projects to promote international charities related to such subjects as animal rights, seal hunting, land mines, vegetarianism, poverty, and music education. Without Wings, his UK or US number-one hits have included "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" (with Linda), "Coming Up", "Pipes of Peace", "Ebony and Ivory" (with Stevie Wonder), and "Say Say Say" (with Michael Jackson). He resumed his solo career in 1980 and has toured as a solo artist since 1989. Led by McCartney, Wings was one of the most successful bands of the 1970s, and he wrote or co-wrote their US or UK number-one hits "My Love", "Band on the Run", "Listen to What the Man Said", "Silly Love Songs", and "Mull of Kintyre". ![]() While primarily a bassist with the Beatles, in various songs he played a number of other instruments, including keyboards, guitars, and drums.Īfter the Beatles disbanded, he debuted as a solo artist with the 1970 album McCartney and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda, and Denny Laine. Many of his Beatles songs, including "And I Love Her", "Yesterday", "Eleanor Rigby", and "Blackbird", rank among the most covered songs in history. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, he gradually became the band's de facto leader, providing the creative impetus for most of their music and film projects. Sometimes called "the cute Beatle", McCartney later involved himself with the London avant-garde and spearheaded the incorporation of experimental aesthetics into the Beatles' studio productions. He began his career when he joined Lennon's skiffle group, the Quarrymen, in 1957, which evolved into the Beatles in 1960. His songwriting partnership with Lennon remains the most successful in history.Born in Liverpool, McCartney taught himself piano, guitar and songwriting as a teenager, having been influenced by his father, a jazz player, and rock and roll performers such as Little Richard and Buddy Holly. One of the most successful composers and performers of all time, McCartney is known for his melodic approach to bass-playing, versatile and wide tenor vocal range, and musical eclecticism, exploring genres ranging from pre–rock and roll pop to classical, ballads, and electronica. Sir James Paul McCartney (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer, songwriter and musician who gained worldwide fame with the Beatles, for whom he played bass guitar and shared primary songwriting and lead vocal duties with John Lennon.

We encourage you to do your own research before investing.Join us to keep track of news: NewsĬrypto connectivity project Helium kicked off its migration to the Solana blockchain midday Tuesday, abandoning its own crypto infrastructure in favor of a new, more stable home.Developers supporting the network have initiated a 24-hour process that will kick the Helium blockchain offline and recreate its key metrics on Solana. It will be interesting to see how the migration to Solana affects the performance of HNT going forward.DISCLAIMER: The Information on this website is provided as general market commentary and does not constitute investment advice. Meanwhile, SOL, the blockchain on which Helium is now hosted, is trading at $21.96, down 5% in the past 24 hours and more than 11.5% in the past week. This allows IoT devices connected to the network to communicate and share data seamlessly, while also providing a platform for participants to earn HNT tokens for validating coverage and providing wireless hotspots.HNT is trading at $1.78, down 2.74% in the past 24 hours but up more than 11% in the past seven days. ![]() This, in turn, will enable the Helium Foundation and other contributing organizations to direct more resources towards their shared goals of accelerating the growth of decentralized wireless networks and bringing new applications that create economic efficiencies and close the digital divide.Helium’s focus on building out a network for the internet of things (IoT) powered by physical hotspots is one of its unique selling points. According to Abhay Kumar, the Helium Foundation’s chief executive, this will be made possible by the faster transaction speeds and new smart contract capabilities offered by the Solana blockchain.In addition to these benefits, the migration has also freed up the core developers from the task of maintaining a layer-1 blockchain. With the upgrade now complete, the network is expected to experience improved scalability and reliability. Key Points:Helium’s network migration to Solana completed, while HNT token surges 11% in the past week.Helium’s IoT network improves thanks to Solana’s faster transaction speeds and smart contract capabilities.HNT token rewards for validating coverage and providing wireless hotspots.The migration of the Helium Network to the Solana blockchain marks a significant milestone for the project. The current price of HNT is updated and available in real time on Binance. The network cryptocurrency, HNT, is used to power operations and reward Helium miners. With Helium migrating to Solana, it joins a growing number of blockchain-based projects that have chosen Solana's reported high-performance blockchain for their infrastructure needs. With the migration, Helium aims to offer lower transaction fees and faster confirmation times for users of its ecosystem. This move is expected to increase the speed and scalability of Helium's network, which currently allows users to earn Helium tokens by providing wireless coverage. ![]() Helium announced in February 2023 that it will fully migrate its blockchain infrastructure to Solana. It entails a consensus group of elected validators receiving encrypted transactions as inputs and subsequently reaching consensus on the transaction order before forming a block and adding it to the blockchain. Helium’s consensus protocol, Proof of Coverage (PoC), is based on a variant of the HoneyBadger Byzantine Fault Tolerance (HBBFT) protocol. Node operators provide connectivity by running Helium hardware, for which they are able to earn HNT tokens. Helium’s nodes are the backbone of its wireless networking protocol LongFi, which provides long-range decentralized WiFi. ![]() Helium (HNT) is an open-source public blockchain through which Internet of Things (IoT) devices operated by HNT holders can communicate and transfer value using its nodes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The mega corporation that owns you and everyone, The Ascent Group, has just collapsed.
