![]() Old-gen console version, Windows Phone version, and Nintendo 3DS version Old-gen console version, Windows Phone version, and Nintendo 3DS version Exclusive Pets These light pets can only be acquired in Master Mode, but can be used anywhere. ![]() Light pets have their own dedicated inventory slot in the player's equipment section in the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, Old Chinese version, tModLoader version, and tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version along with a slot for dyes. Only one light pet can be present at once. They incur no mana nor any other cost, and remain indefinitely until the player cancels the buff, summons a replacement light pet or dies. Light Pets are summoned secondary characters that float alongside players to provide a traveling light source. These pets can only be acquired in Master Mode, but can be used anywhere. Shadow Chest, Obsidian Crate, Hellstone Crateįrozen Chest, Frozen Crate, Boreal Crateĭropped from Corruption and Crimson creatures. A pet in a pet slot is automatically summoned whenever the player respawns, as long as the "eye" icon is set to visible.Either type of pet can also be summoned by using its item from the hotbar, but only if the slot it could go into is empty or hidden.Removing a pet's item from its slot will not dismiss the pet, but placing a different pet item in the slot will replace the pet.If a summoning item is placed in a slot set to "hidden", the pet will not be summoned until the slot is toggled back to "visible".Unlike the similar icons to hide accessories, the eye icon will actually dismiss and resummon the pet, not just hide and reveal it.Each pet slot also has an "eye" icon, which can be clicked to "hide" the pet, and again to "show" it.If they normally shed light, the light will be unaffected by any dye. Some of the "advanced" dyes can make certain pets look very strange, or even render them invisible. Each pet slot has a matching dye slot, which can be used to recolor the pet.At any time, the player can have at most one pet of each type active. Light pets behave similarly to ordinary pets, but provide more consistent lighting around the player. On the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, tModLoader version, and tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, the inventory offers two dedicated slots, offering more complex behavior: One slot is for "regular" pets, the other is for light pets. PC/ Console/ Mobile/ Old Chinese/ tModLoader/ tModLoader 1.3-Legacy-Only Content: This section's information applies only to the PC, Console, Mobile, Old Chinese, tModLoader, and tModLoader Legacy versions of Terraria. There are also 10 light pets on the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, 3 of which are master-exclusive, 7 on the tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, and 3 on the Old-gen console version, Windows Phone version, and Nintendo 3DS version. ![]() There are 48 on the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, 26 on the tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, 27 on the Old-gen console version, and 31 on the Nintendo 3DS version. Pets do not count against a player's current minion limit. Summoned minions operate similarly, but are primarily intended to aid combat rather than being cosmetic. A few pets emit small amounts of light, but on PC version, Console version, Mobile version, Old Chinese version, tModLoader version, and tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, there are special Light Pets available with their own dedicated slot. Most pets are purely cosmetic, but some of the Old-gen console, Windows Phone, and 3DS -exclusive pets can do minimal damage to enemies. A pet will follow the player until they die, summon a different pet, leave the world or cancel the associated buff. When summoned, they will give the player a buff with the same name as the pet. They are completely invincible and have no set duration. Pets are creatures that follow the player around. Not to be confused with Town pets, the animal NPCs obtainable via the Zoologist. ![]() When it comes to RPGs, it was probably one of the strongest, especially strategy hybrids such as Disgaea series, Japanese RPGs, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and Monster Hunter. ![]() They had a strong line-up in certain genres, but were lacking in some others. Their software line-up probably contributed to the negative reactions to the PSP. However, Sony’s handheld device enjoyed a longer run and sold about 82 million units worldwide making it the third on the list of highest selling handheld device and 8th in the rank of highest selling video games of all time. Oddly enough, the PlayStation Portable (PSP) is considered a “failure” in certain circles, mainly because despite Sony’s superior hardware, the Nintendo DS had almost double its sales. After a while, the PSP became out-dated and the PS Vita was introduced to replace it, but a lot of core gamers still own and play it, because easily run it with homebrew software. The lifespan of the system lasted for more than a decade, with lots of other newer versions of it released between the year 20. The system’s rollout for 2004-2005 was a huge success despite initial concerns that the price was too high considering the fact that it was a handheld device. ![]() It’s hardware accelerator and dual processor could run ports that were very similar to that of the original PlayStation 2 versions (Persona 3, Grand Theft Auto), while the graphical capabilities of the DS, its rival were similar to those of the Nintendo 64 and PS1. The PSP was the first of such devices to compare well to the memory capacity and graphical abilities of the sixth-generation consoles (original Xbox, Gamecube, PS2). Playstation Portable or also known as PSP was a great advancement in the world of handheld gaming devices. ![]() ![]() In 2004, George played his final game as a member of the Dallas Cowboys and retired from the NFL. “I showed up every day, and never missed a game.”įrom Fork Union to Columbus to Houston and finally in Nashville, Eddie George achieved and even surpassed the goals he’d set for himself on the gridiron. That’s one thing I’m really proud of,” says George. “I never missed a single start in a Titan uniform in my entire career. “I wanted to leave my mark in some capacity,” said the four-time Pro Bowler. To finally see it all come together at the right time was a wonderful moment for all of us that were involved.” Alongside the late Steve McNair, Eddie spent eight years in the backfield for the Oilers/Titans franchise and became the face of the organization as Nashville became a legitimate NFL city. All we had was our faith and our hope that things would work out for the best. Going through the first three years, it tested our faith and resolve. We had the loudest stadium in the NFL, and we did not lose a single home game that whole year.” The Titans run to Super Bowl XXXIV that year electrified the city, and finally gave the players a real hometown to play for and a local community to truly connect with. “Once we got a taste of that…the stadium filled to capacity in our first preseason game…there was no turning back. “Once we changed the name, I think it made a huge difference,” George explained. In 1999, the team moved across the Cumberland River into their new home stadium and changed their name from the ‘Oilers’ to the ‘Titans’. Here it is, you’re playing your best football, but nobody cares and you don’t have the support of the fans.” But the reliance upon one another was something that Eddie says laid the groundwork for what was to come. “Over time it became cumbersome, it was depressing. However, over the course of those two transition seasons, the team played home games in with crowds that averaged less than 20,000. In Houston, the Oilers regularly sold out their home football games, filling the Astrodome to capacity with over 70,000 fans. We were nomads with no names, just really trying to find an identity and it was tough to be taken serious.” “It was like we were on the outside looking in…we were in the NFL but we really weren’t. The team played their home games in Memphis’ Liberty Bowl in 1997 and in Vanderbilt’s Stadium in 1998 as the Tennessee Oilers. The Oilers franchise would move to Tennessee two years earlier than originally scheduled due to the strained relationship with the city of Houston. ![]() “That was eye-opening for me…I’m a rookie from Ohio State and I’m going to this place of chaos where it’s like ‘what’s going on with the future of this franchise?’,” he said. ![]() The difficult transition from collegiate hero to NFL rookie was compounded by the fact that the Houston Oilers franchise was mired in a feud between the owner and the city. In 1996, Eddie was drafted by the Houston Oilers with the 14th overall pick in the NFL Draft. His number 27 was retired by Ohio State, and in 2011 Eddie was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The Buckeyes gave George the chance to play running back, and four years later he rewarded that decision by winning the 1995 Heisman Trophy (he also won the Doak Walker Award, the Jim Brown Award, the Maxwell Award, the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, was the 1995 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and voted as a Consensus All-America). But they wanted me to play linebacker.” He decided to transfer from his home high school in Abington, PA to Virginia’s Fork Union Military Academy, where he caught the eye of the coaching staff from Ohio State University. “I grew up in Philadelphia, and I wanted to go to Penn State and play running back. In high school, he excelled as a star running back, but his home-state football power wanted him to play on the other side of the ball. The Heisman Trophy-winning running back who brought the NFL to Tennessee has written a brilliant second act to his career where he stars as a leading man on stage, screen, & in studio, as well as serving others as a mentor in the classroom, the board room & the stock market.Įddie’s football career easily could’ve stalled before it started. Eddie George is Nashville’s ultimate crossover artist. ![]() Contact your local board of social services if you have questions about your notice or if you need help completing your recertification.

Industry heavyweights are taking notice: in June 2019, Wave was acquired by H&R Block for $405 million. They sign in with the same bank username and password they use every day.” said Wylie Kyi, senior product manager at Wave. ![]() “With Plaid, our customers don’t have to get out their checkbooks. Today they manage more than $250 billion on behalf of their customers and have enjoyed year-over-year quarterly revenue growth of more than 40% for the past several years. To date, Wave has helped over 400,000 small businesses in 200 countries manage their income and expenses. It’s just one of the reasons that they are experiencing such rapid growth. With Plaid, Wave helps business owners get paid several days faster than traditional ACH bank payments, checks, or cash. “We know that fraudsters are looking for the easiest way to make a buck, and they hit a significant roadblock with Plaid” Fazeli said. Plaid helps them minimize the number of investigations. Why do we mention both confirmed suspected fraud? The answer is that, in order to catch bad actors, Wave has to investigate all instances of suspected fraud, which is expensive and time-consuming. In terms of sheer dollars, Plaid accounts for 72% less suspected fraud and 60% less confirmed fraud. ![]() When payers choose a Plaid-powered account authentication experience, instances of suspected fraud are 71% less common, and instances of confirmed fraud are 44% less common. How exactly? Plaid provides additional layers of security, so it’s tougher for bad actors to make a fraudulent payment. In Canada, where users who manually enter their information must also provide an institution number, Plaid results in 10x fewer failed payments. When payers choose a Plaid-powered account authentication experience (versus manually entering their account and routing numbers), they are 5.6 times less likely to make a mistake resulting in a failed payment. They evaluated multiple vendors and found that Plaid outperformed the competition in several key metrics, including speed, authentication success, and data quality. ![]() Reduce errors from manually entering bank account details Provide a simple, elegant user experience When Wave was comparing different ways for payers to authenticate their bank accounts, they prioritized three criteria: Today, for almost 90% of ACH bank payments, Wave can settle funds into the bank account of the small business owner within just two business days-an industry-leading rate. Plaid now connects to all major Canadian banks, as well as all ~11,500 US banks and credit unions.įor Wave’s customers, it’s a game-changer. Today the vast majority of payers can securely authenticate their bank accounts and start paying in a matter of seconds. “We chose Plaid because we love the quality of the data and how much thought they have put into elevating the user experience.” “We needed a way to entice payers to try ACH,” said Fazeli. Even worse, it can take as long as 7 days for the customer to receive funds.Īfter carefully evaluating their options, Wave chose Plaid to help them make it better. It’s a clunky experience that often results in failed payments. Without Plaid, anyone who wants to pay one of Wave’s customers with ACH has to fish out their checkbooks and manually enter account and routing numbers. Their goal was simple: make ACH as easy as paying with a credit card. In 2017, Wave launched their ACH bank payments experience, powered by Plaid data. ![]() With Wave, they can accept both credit card and ACH (bank payments) through online invoices. They know that small business owners want to get paid fast and through the method of their choice. One problem Wave solves for their customers is accepting online payments. That requires aggregating the financial data that’s locked up in their online banking and credit card platforms,” said Mani Fazeli, Senior Vice President of Product at Wave. “We support entrepreneurs by making it simple for small business owners to understand their finances and manage cash flow. The Toronto-based company believes that cost shouldn’t be an issue, so they provide many of their products for free. To help them succeed, Wave provides accounting, invoicing, payments, and payroll software on a comprehensive platform built specifically for small businesses. But more than 50% of those companies will fail in their first five years-often because they don’t know how to manage their money. All told, there are 31 million small businesses in North America collectively, they employ more than 65 million people. ![]() Be aware of bold claims: While many active ingredients may reduce the appearance of scars over time, they are not miracle cures.In some cases, it may even make symptoms worse. If an ingredient irritates a person’s skin, they will likely stop using the treatment. Other ingredients: Other ingredients may also affect how well a treatment works.Active ingredients: Paying attention to the active ingredients in the cream and their strength can help a person identify what works for their skin type.There are a few important things to consider when shopping for scar creams: These sheets are free from latex, which can cause skin irritation in people with an allergy or sensitivity. A meta-analysis found that silicone sheets were comparable in effectiveness to gel. Sheets may also be more convenient than gel and offer the same benefits. Additionally, it claims that these sheets are recommended by dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Scaraway Clear Silicone Scar Sheets contain medical grade silicone which the company claims to be the number one ingredient in reducing the formation and appearance of scars. For fresh scars, a person may notice results in a few weeks. The healing time can vary based on several factors. The company recommends people place one sheet on the scar daily. ScarAway states that the sheets prevent or treat abnormal scarring due to injuries, keloid scars, and scars from surgeries, such as cesarean deliveries and tummy tucks. This may help reduce scar formation or cause scar tissue to fade. This silicone layer acts as a natural barrier, mimicking the barrier from healthy skin. ![]() ScarAway Silicone Scar Sheets are simple fabric-backed sheets containing silicone. This product is also free from gluten, coconut, and soy, making it suitable for people with several allergies. Research suggests that these two ingredients can improve pigmentation and skin pliability. Some of its main ingredients is allantoin and onion bulb extract. There is evidence that SLS can increase transepidermal water loss, leading to less hydrated skin. This gel is free from skin irritants such as sodium lauryl sulfates (SLS). This may be due to using too much of the gel. Some people may experience itchiness and skin dryness. For older scars, a person may need to regularly apply the gel for up to 6 months before seeing any results. When a person uses it on a new scar, they may see effects after about eight weeks. The cream also contains other exfoliants and ingredients, such as onion bulb extract, to support the skin and prevent dryness. The company recommends people apply the gel once daily. The main active ingredient in Mederma Advanced Scar Gel is allantoin, which helps moisturize and hydrate the skin cells to reduce the appearance of scars. Mederma states that the cream is effective for both new and old scars due to acne, surgeries, burns, and cuts. Mederma Advanced Scar Gel is one of the most popular and effective all-around treatments for various scars. ![]() People looking to reduce the appearance of scars should also take other precautions, such as keeping the damaged area out of direct sunlight or wearing sunscreen whenever possible.ĭiscover the best sunscreen for every skin type here. Scar creams are only one part of treating a scar. Other ingredients hydrate the cells, giving them a fuller look, which may reduce the appearance of scars. Some skin creams contain mild exfoliants that rub away the top layer of skin cells and any dead skin. Scar creams work in different ways to heal the tissue and reduce the appearance of scars. The look of a scar will typically fade with time, though some changes may last longer or be permanent. This is why scars differ in appearance from undamaged skin. Collagen is a protein in the body that helps structure the skin. The body works quickly to cover a wound with skin cells and protect it from the outside elements.Īs a result, it sometimes creates imperfect cells that contain more collagen than healthy skin cells. A scar is a part of the skin’s natural repair cycle after a wound. ![]()
