Charcoal-based toothpastes have not been proven to be effective at controlling tartar, says research from the Journal of the American Dental Association, nor have they been proven to be safe. Because baking soda is slightly abrasive, studies show that toothpastes with this ingredient can better remove plaque than toothpastes without it. One 2008 study comparing the effectiveness of a tartar-control toothpaste to a cavity-protection one found that those using the tartar-control toothpaste had nearly 35 percent less calculus at the study’s end than those using regular fluoride toothpaste.

Smart switches popped back in on my radar when I heard about new versions that don’t need neutral wire in your switch hole. All that smart control came at the price of a couple of dollars and the lost ability to use your wall switch ever again. Smart LED lightbulbs had dominated the market, as the prices went down, and anyone was capable of replacing traditional light source with new IoT enabled bulb. Something you don’t often see in this country (UK). Apart from being the more expenisve option, switches required live and neutral wire present in your switching hole. When I started home automation, smart lightbulbs were expensive, and smart switches were only just hitting the market. Are Smart Light Switches worth the hassle? There is a new kid in IoT town: Smart Light Switches! Should you get it? Let’s take a closer look. A couple of smart lightbulbs from Yeelight ( review) and a label maker was enough to convert the traditional lights in the kitchen to a smart set up. It took about 4 days to get everyone in the household “potty” trained to use Alexa voice commands instead of wall light switches. ![]() ![]() Questions People are Asking about Coconut Cream Pie What does Easy Coconut Pie taste like?

Basic items have no special attributes, just damage points for weapons, and armour points for armour. For each item in the game, there are four grades. There is a wealth of detail given over to weapons and armour in Dungeon Hunter 2. The best part of this screen is the “Auto equip” button which will automatically pick out the best equipment (that you're able to wield, given your current abilities). There's a well designed configuration system in the inventory screen, allowing you to set up which equipment you're going to use. However, if your inventory has filled up, you can transmute items into lesser amounts of gold than you'd get otherwise. Selling unwanted items to a merchant is how to get the best gold payout. When you find new armour or weapons you can equip them, giving an immediate boost to your abilities, or choose to sell them on. Additionally, killing enemies yields gold, armour or weapons. As you might expect, combat earns you experience points, which allows you to 'level up' and gain more skills, or enhance the skills you already have. As you are initially finding your way through the game, Rene acts as a guide, but also as a bodyguard, dealing with some of the bad guys for you, while you're busy fending off the rest of them.Ĭombat is how you advance in Dungeon Hunter 2. Each of them have different abilities (which can be built up via quests), and you can chop and change which one you want guarding you at any time via menus.

Mage, the magical debuffing class, specialises to Shadowmancer or Illusionist.ĭuring the early quests of Dungeon Hunter 2, you're guided around by the character who rescued you in the intro animation of the game – Rene. Rogues, the ranged class, specialises to Archer or Deathwalker (stealth). Warriors, the melee class, specialise to Beserker or Crusader. As you advance through the game, you'll eventually have to choose from two specialisations in each class. When you start “rolling” your character, you have to choose from three broad classes, Warrior, Rogue, or Mage. This has the advantage of freeing up your other thumb to access the many combat related buttons, but it also means that you can often lose sight of your character behind scenery, because you can't 'look around the corner'. Just as this control method was looking like a new standard, Dungeon Hunter 2 does away with it in favour of a fixed camera angle. In the other two big RPG titles I've reviewed for All About Symbian ( Crusade of Destiny and Eternal Legacy HD), the control method has been such that character movement was controlled by one thumb, and camera angle was controlled by the other. This really serves to give a signature style that differentiates it from the other big role playing game (RPG) titles available on the Ovi Store. Throughout all of the various environments in Dungeon Hunter 2, lighting is extensively used to add a real sense of atmosphere to the game. Just as I said about Eternal Legacy (also by Gameloft), these graphics wouldn't have looked out of place on a games console just a few short years ago. Throughout the game, we're treated to beautiful and smoothly rendered 3D graphics. Gameloft have provided yet another graphical extravaganza with Dungeon Hunter 2. You and Rene coming face to face with the evil Edward! You reluctantly take on the quest to de-throne your evil brother Edward and put a stop to his dark-arts fuelled reign of terror over the land. The story is told via frequent text-based dialogues between characters, throughout the game. You play the good brother, who goes by any name you choose (I thought David was a good choice!), who is rescued from exile by Rene the preist and one of several faeries. The world of Gothicus is a realm of swords and sorcery. Dungeon Hunter 2 tells the story of two immortal brothers, born of the Gothican king, and rivals for the throne. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The only problem is, it doesn’t state how exactly the people are ranked.Īt first, practically every Instagram user assumed that the list was arranged chronologically. It allows individuals and brands to see who their content is reaching and who seems to be coming back for more. ![]() Stories Viewers Order refers to how Instagram ranks the people who have viewed your Story. How is the Instagram Stories Viewers Order determined? So maybe it’s not a stalker after all! You may just have a fan or small fan club. And since the top Stories are usually the most viewed, this could explain why certain names keep appearing at the top of your viewed list. What does this have to do with Instagram Stories and the viewers order?Įssentially, if a certain someone or group of people interact with your posts a lot, there’s a very high chance that your Story will appear at the top of their Feed. Simply put, the Instagram Algorithm is a system that takes note of all your interests and interactions on the platform and uses that data to personalize your Feed.įor example, if you tap like on a lot of cat pictures on Instagram, more cat content will start popping up on your Feed and Explore pages.

In this article, we'll look into what the Stories Viewers Order means and where you might rank on someone else's list. This is what we're here to help you figure out. What could that possibly mean? Do you have a stalker situation? Should you consider blocking a certain someone? Now, imagine that a particular name keeps showing up at the top of that list every time you post a Story. Unlike normal Instagram Feed posts that allow people to observe without interacting, the Instagram Stories feature provides users with a list of people who viewed their Stories. This encourages Instagram users to be spontaneous and share as much and as often as they like without cluttering their Feed or ruining their Instagram grid aesthetic.Īn important feature for businesses, Stories allows brands to share raw behind-the-scenes footage, limited-time deals, marketing campaigns, interactive Q&A sessions, and other posts that increase reach and engagement with their target audience and promote their brand. Random or spontaneous moments, which are not exactly feed material, can be uploaded in Story format, bypassing the Feed for immediate consumption with an automatic expiration date of 24 hours. Instagram Stories is a convenient feature that allows users to share and appreciate the little things that go on in their daily lives.
