![]() ![]() It's worth noting, I did get out a little more regularly in the run-up to the 30 days - not wanting to injure myself with a sudden, drastic increase in mileage - but never more than a few times a week. With a firm spring in my step after chatting to such an inspiring athlete, I laced up my trainers and braced myself for the month ahead. Read on for my results and for Becky's running advice, as we also discussed training tips - including the stretching myth - for anyone who would like to try the challenge. But on those days there's nothing that beats the feeling," she explained.Īfter speaking to her, I could not wait to try and find that feeling for myself. You're not going to feel amazing every day. "I love running because of the sense of freedom it gives you when it is just you and you feel like you are floating. Of course, not every run is going to feel like a walk in the park, but when you can find joy in movement it is something really special.įor Becky, this feeling is one of freedom. The London-based athlete, who coaches for NRG Coaching, also made a brilliant case for the sport.Īs Becky pointed out, running can benefit so many of us because it improves cardiovascular performance and gives you ' time where it's just you', to focus on your enjoyment and your goals. I was immediately inspired after speaking to Becky, who holds the European U23 marathon record thanks to her astonishing 2.29 performance at last year's Manchester Marathon. So, keen to find out what I was getting myself in for, I spoke to the GB athlete before completing the challenge. Like many people, I completed Couch to 5k during lockdown, and I've attended Parkrun a few times, but other than that I'm a complete novice. Or should I say the 'runner's high', as elite marathon runner Becky Briggs calls it? It's also helped me to find a new hobby, one I'd recommend to anyone on account of the low cost, multiple health benefits, and the sense of achievement it brings. ![]() While a daily mile might not be a major feat for some, as a non-runner, it was quite the task for me. Not only did I have something to prove, but 30 miles later it has changed how I think about my mental and physical health, both of which improved along the way. ![]() What started as a random challenge is now one I'm really proud of myself for completing, and it might just be the best decision I've ever made for my health. Every year the London Marathon inspires new runners to lace up their trainers ![]()

Directed by Susan Oliver, Steve Cooper and Kevin Wotton. As well as individually by Brent Chambers, Vincent Lim, Geoff Watson and Yasmin McConville. The series was produced by Big Communications, Flux Animation Studio, Flying Bark Productions, Media Development Authority, and Southern Star Entertainment. Jane U'Brien as Jin Hou, Red boy and various characters.Together they attempt to rescue Master Yun and travel to the place where the golden dragon was defeated and restore him to power. Master Raindrop and Shao Yen are soon joined by the other two elements: Jin Hou, the metal element (an anthropomorphic golden monkey), and Niwa, the earth element (a humanoid girl who appears to be made of clay). General Bu does this to stop the elements joining together and defeating him. However the strongest leader in the Land of a Thousand Legends, General Bu, upsets the peaceful world by taking Yun to begin his attempt to capture the four elements after Flamo, the fire element, joins him voluntarily. The series begins with personifications of two of the five elements, Raindrop (water) and Shao Yen (wood), training with their Master, Yun, in the ancient art of Chitaido. There are 26 episodes of 24 minutes duration. Master Raindrop is an animated television program produced jointly by Australian, New Zealand and Singaporean companies that first screened on the Australian Seven Network from 15 March 2008 to 14 February 2009. This is a cheap way to introduce some more randomness into the system.Įven more finally, you might want to get your hands on some LEGO Ball Casters, which I didn't know existed until this very moment.Australian TV series or program Master Raindrop Start with a skid first, and an easy, smooth surface to see if you get the basic behaviour you want.įinally, you may get more interesting behaviour by ramping or stuttering motor direction and speed a little on obstacle sense. ![]() (As in, it isn't an intractable problem, but the problem domain is extremely sensitive to small changes.) I now have reasonable respect for those people who design the casters into the everyday things we use without considering how difficult these trade-offs can be. It's an interesting engineering trade-off, and I've never been able to make a perfect caster, even with lots of Technics parts. And the surface area of the wheel and the mass of the load drive the how easy and fast things swivel. See the Wikipedia article on casters, but there is a strong relationship between wheel diameter and how high the caster should be. You can get more interesting behaviour by having a bumpbot, that simply reverses the motor when it detects an obstacle. If you have limited gears, then drive one wheel, have an idler wheel and a caster or simple skid arrangement. If you can build a differential, then drive two wheels with the motor. One motor and a caster wheel will give you two degrees of movement but will not be steerable. Here a good WeDo 2.0 model with steering: UPDATE 2: Got a nice suggestion at Eurobricks forum: I wonder if experienced LEGO builders can propose a better vehicle out of WeDo 2.0 parts than mine:Īnd I feel that my Scratch program can be improved too, since it is not very responsive to user input (when touching the 4 green arrows): There is too much friction - on the axles of all 3 wheels and on the rubber band. I have followed Aaganrmu's suggestion (thank you) and have tried to build a simple vehicle using ratchet instead of caster wheel: The caster wheel would roll straight, when the vehicle drives forwards.īut when driving backwards, it would snap to a certain angle.įound a picture for such a caster wheel in the LEGO Technic Idea Book by Mr. I am thinking of having 2 wheels with wide tires in front the vehicle, connected to the motor.Īnd having a single caster wheel with narrow tire at the back of the vehicle, not connected to the motor. In WeDo 2.0 set there is only 1 motor, which can be remotely switched on and off by using the iPad app (by writing a Scratch program).Īlso motor rotating direction can be toggled remotely.Īs an inexperienced LEGO builder I wonder if it is possible to build a remote-controlled vehicle out of 280 WeDo 2.0 pieces, which would be steered by changing the motor rotation direction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Enter your code exactly as it appears and select "Apply" to redeem your discount.

And it feels like the chatrooms and most of the large streaming content, even in video games, break a bit to the right as well. “It feels unfair to paint the entire site with a broad brush in terms of political belief, but I would say in general, the chat probably breaks a bit further to the right. These gamers have provided recruits for the right wing Bonnell’s work lays out a different path.

Every month, more than 2 million people use it to stream, while 15 million watch daily, making it one of the largest online spaces that most people over 30 have probably never heard of.

The master had a mission for him - something that could further his knowledge on dark matters greatly. O'saa was surprised to find that his master, who had been absent for so long, was surprisingly up to date with the twists and turns of the world. He dug through the piles with his bare hands, and eventually found the source of the voice: the burnt and mummified severed head of Nas'hrah, the wizard. The group panicked and scattered, and O'saa ventured forward alone, leaving a sick Hadil behind.Īs O'saa entered the ruins, what had led him there was calling out to him feverishly from beneath the rocks and rubble. When they finally arrived at the dungeons, heavy fog made navigation impossible, and distant growls and howls added to the tension. As they got closer to their destination, O'saa's dreams became more intense, and the remaining members of the group were visibly sick from stress and otherworldly pressure. ![]() However, most of the crew quit halfway to Rondon due to the difficulties of crossing borders during chaotic times. ![]() He joined Hadil's group of adventurers and traveled through war-torn Europa. Despite initially dismissing Hadil's talks, O'saa was haunted by nightmares the following night and felt compelled to witness the place himself. The magician O'saa eventually met Hadil Azif, a self-proclaimed wizard from the far east who was gathering a group of adventurers to accompany him on a perilous quest to the infamous dungeons of fear and hunger. O'saa joined them to further his personal growth and agenda using the force of the gods, continuing his path of learning and self-growth. They were reduced to a small group of traveling mages who studied various fields of the otherworldly. He eventually impressed the Yellow mages with his conviction, and they invited him to join their own. Despite facing scorn for his beliefs from scholars and religious leaders, O'saa remained unwavering. O'saa arrived in Eastern Sanctuaries and discovered that even the local temples followed the worship of Alll-mer, with religion dictating people's lives. Discovering an ancient scroll about the yellow mages, who harnessed the power of the gods for personal gain and believed in chaos, O'saa left the temple to find them in the Eastern Sanctuaries. However, he soon realized that religion was used to control the masses and didn't want to serve the ruling class. He quickly excelled at the temple, surpassing even the older priests. At the Temple of Amon, he had a choice of various spiritual schools to study. There he excelled as an apprentice, and with the Great War closing Abyssonian borders, he sought to learn as much as possible before leaving the continent. He decided to leave his family and headed to the City of the Sun - Amon to pursue education in spiritualism and religion, determined not to be a pawn in the north's quest for the country's resources. There, they worshiped ancient deities they had never seen, and their disputes spilled across borders in an endless cycle of Great Wars. O'saa found no solace in such beliefs and knew that Europa, to the north, was no better. He disliked those who fought over ancient disputes and grudges passed down by their ancestors, despite the godlike reverence shown to them. O'saa grew up in chaotic Abyssonia, where endless conflict and warring factions were the norm. ![]() ![]() Npm install express body-parser express-async-errors express-openid-connect dotenv dependencies are as follows: Inside the backend folder, set up a new Express app with the following commands: Next, create a new directory for the projects and two folders inside it: frontend and backend.
