![]() ![]() Warlock… Unless you’re running Molten Giant I guess… Hunter, Priest, Mage DK Priest, Mage, Warrior (?), Warlock Quest Warrior (!), Majordomu (Wild, and… idk), Shadowform Priest (… but why?) So, everything said, I don’t think that this one will see lots of play.Īlright… So here’s a card that has POTENTIAL to be broken, but is all-around decent… Let’s see which hero powers can be used with it… Keep in mind it ALSO synergizes with Baku, meaning you can have both an upgraded Hero Power that has its effect doubled. It’s not a 3 mana 3/4 that can actually contest the board. You drop a 5 mana 4/4 that is very easy to get rid of. It might shine in some Odd decks that need to fill the curve, but still, unlike the previous one, this card sucks on Turn 5. ![]() Maybe, like I’ve mentioned, Cube/Control Warlock with DK under very specific circumstances. Of course, this gains the extra value of being a high priority target you absolutely have to kill, but the initial burst isn’t anything good, and a 4 health minions shouldn’t be hard to kill so late into the game.Īll in all, I don’t think that a regular deck would like to play it. For example – in case of Hunter, on turn 7, this + Hero Power is the same as Nightblade (a card you probably don’t even remember) + Hero Power. But, in both cases, it would cost 7 mana to play this + HP, which might not make it as powerful as it seems. The first one would be a 4 damage Hero Power that can target anything and the second one would be 6 damage Hero Power. Two good examples are Baku Mage and Baku Hunter. It might, just like the Blackwald Pixie, work okay in Baku decks. I could see this as a one-of tech if the meta really demands it (in other words, if you need a huge healing burst in the late game), but I don’t think it will see play outside of that. You can theoretically go for this + Prince Taldaram + Hero Power for 12 damage and 24 healing, but again, that’s a two card combo that works only after you play your 10 mana card that you might not draw until really late into the game. But so what if it’s completely useless until you turn into your DK? And if you turn into your DK you’re already in a good spot to win? You rarely need more healing once you can heal every turn with your Hero Power. Yes, the card also works on Death Knights. Which means that those three are the most likely classes that would want to use it. So, it only works positively for Priest, Hunter, and Mage (and negatively for Warlock). If a Hero Power doesn’t do damage or healing, it’s not affected by this. No, it’s not, because it only affects HERO POWERS and not all cards.Īnother key is “damage and healing”. I’ve seen some people making this mistake already and seeing this is a better version of Prophet Velen. ![]() Pre-liberalisation, Parle-G’s growth was slow as India was a closed economy. It is consumed by everybody today from a person sitting in a high rise in Nariman Point to a person somewhere in Dharavi. The brand has stayed true to its philosophy. Since then biscuits are considered as any other Indian snacking item. It was with this philosophy that this brand was launched in 1939 and was called Parle Glucose biscuits.” Mayank Shah, Deputy Marketing Manager, Parle Products, said, “The promoters thought that why can’t we have a biscuit made in India, meant for Indian people and accessible to the common man. A few Indian companies manufactured biscuits but they were very costly. Started by Mohanlal Dayal Chauhan way back in 1929 at Vile-Parle, a Mumbai suburb, Parle Products first launched an orange candy and then other confectionaries before entering the biscuit segment 10 years later in 1939.ĭuring the pre-Independence times, biscuits were considered a premium product as most of it was imported. Recently, a creative film production house prepared a tribute video for Parle-G. A tea shop owner in Jaipur has written a poem for the brand and always serves Parle-G biscuit packets complimentary with the tea. People have memories and stories to share with the brand. Parle-G is so much engrained in our lives that nobody would believe that glucose biscuits were earlier considered a western snacking item. BestMediaInfo met Parle G Marketing Manager Mayank Shah and Dhunji S Wadia of Everest Brand Solutions to trace its journeyĪkansha Mihir Mota | Mumbai | June 30, 2016 It has manufacturing units in six other countries namely the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Middle East and Australia.Parle Glucose to Parle-G: Journey of India’s most loved biscuitįrom ‘Swaad Bhare, Shakti Bhare’ to ‘Vo Pehli Waali Baat’, the brand has managed to remain a bestseller. Little did you know that Parle products are a hit worldwide. Not just that, but the survey also claims that 4551 Parle-G biscuits are being consumed at any given second in India. Also, did you know that the brand has a huge market of consumers in China? Parle-G sells more than all the other biscuit brands in China. The first Indian company to cross Rs 5,000 crore mark in salesĪccording to a Nielsen survey, Parle-G was the first Indian FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) brand to cross the Rs 5,000 crore mark in retail sales. However, it’s believed if the monthly production of the biscuits is stacked side-by-side then it would be enough to cover the 7.25 lakh km distance between Earth and moon. However, all the rumours were put to rest when Parle Products’ group product manager, Mayank Shah, said that the kid in the picture is just an illustration which was made by Everest Creative’s artist Maganlal Daiya in the 60s.Īround 1 Billion Parle-G packets are produced monthly which are further sold in 5 million retail stores across the country and worldwide. Rumour has it that the baby girl is Neeru Deshpande and the picture was clicked by her father when she was about 4-year-old. Ever since then, there's been no change in the packaging or taste. Also, ‘G’ initially stood for ‘glucose’, which was later stated as ‘genius’ by a brand slogan. ![]() Keeping up with the competition with other biscuit brands, in 1985, they renamed the product as Parle-G. India’s most favourite biscuit was first baked in 1938. The House of Parle started with only 12 workers back then, which is now a full-grown family of 50,500 employees. Mohanlal Dayal, the founder of Parle-G, established the first Parle factory in 1929 in Vile Parle, Mumbai. Parle-G was established much before independence. But now that the sales are up people have urged the company to avoid plastic and change its packing to an alternate biodegradable material. Here are a few lesser-known facts, we bet you don’t know about your favourite biscuit.ĭid you know that Parle-G biscuits were initially sold wrapped in butter paper? It was much later that the packaging changed to plastic packets. Recently, the biscuit brand recorded a surge in sales during the coronavirus pandemic where not only the migrant workers were served Parle-G, but even people working from home stocked up their pantries. We have fond memories of pairing up the humble biscuit with chai, milk and at times just plain water. Parle-G is not an ordinary biscuit, it’s an emotion. 7 Lesser-Known Facts About The Humble Parle-G Biscuit We Bet Nobody Knows ![]() ![]() And once they find the parcels missing or damaged during shipping, the CJ dispute team will resend or refind on the same day. Different carriers have different dispute policies, some have loose policies and some have very strict policies that may take more than one week to settle your problem, that is really annoying, because your customers are waiting for the parcels, and they don't have the patience.ĬJPacket has a very loose dispute policy, they have a team to follow the parcels that aren't delivered in time. START & SCALE YOUR BUSINESS WITH CJDROPSHIPPING By contrast, the trends for CJPacket shipping times were on a steady decline. Yun Express had better performance than CJPacket in the first 3 months, but from April, the shipping times of Yun Express and Yanwen had great ups and downs, and ePacket had ridiculous long shipping times in May and June due to the quarantine. Next, let's check the delivery times trends of CJPacket, ePacket, Yun Express, and Yanwen to the US from Jan. But other shipping lines still got very long shipping times, most were not delivered in 15 days. For other European countries, CNE and 4PX got competitive shipping times as CJPacket.Ī good news is, the shipping times to Canada were back to normal, 6-15 days by CJPacket, it had horrible delays in the past few months, 15-25days by CJPacket. Next came Yanwen, the delivery times are 6-14 in August, many of the orders were shipped for more than 20 days by ePacket, more than 15 days by Yun Express, and no less than 10 days by CNE and 4PX.įrance is the second biggest market of dropshipping business regarding CJ, so the delivery times to France by CJPacket were obvious faster than other lines, 7-10days, many in 7 days. The US is the biggest market for dropshipping, so the delivery times to the US are concerned by many dropshippers.Shipping Lines Comparison MidIt had delays during the past months, but now it has very promising shipping times than other lines, with amazing numbers, 3-5 days! The delivery times of CJPacket were 6-15 days before, but now it got big progress in shipping times. There is a comment on the ePacket that the "e" stands for eternity, funny. ![]() We can see that to all these countries, CJPacket had very good shipping times, CNE and 4PX had not a bad performance, but Yun Express and Yanwen had obvious longer shipping times, and ePacket had the longest shipping times, that its fastest times were even longer than CJPacket's slowest times. We didn't have many parcels to Australia, Canada, and Italy by CNE, for a precise purpose, We did not provide the estimated shipping times of CNE to these 3 countries. Because the tracking numbers picked were just a random part of all, so the shipping times don't stand for all orders, a few may be faster, a several may be slower, but this table stands for the general shipping times for these 6 lines. These data were processed from real tracking numbers in the past two months for those orders placed on the CJ platform. We will compare their delivery times, shipping costs as well as dispute policies.įirst, let's see the current delivery times of these 6 shipping lines, we check 20 tracking numbers randomly for every line to 7 major countries.

A study by the Multi-hazard Mitigation Council indicates that each dollar spent on mitigation saves society an average of $4. Further, homes constructed in compliance with NFIP building standards suffer less damage from floods than those not built in compliance. The NFIP, through partnerships with communities, the insurance industry, and the lending industry, helps reduce flood damage and helps to save the nation more than $1.1 billion a year in prevented flood damages. FIMA manages the insurance component of the NFIP and oversees the floodplain management aspect of the program.

The Lamb also appears to have self preservation.īecause the faith of the followers must be managed carefully, it is necessary to meet their needs. Although the Lamb does not speak during gameplay, they are still shown to have some form of charisma when interacting with followers. Given how the player manages the cult, both benevolent and evil actions can be performed on, or with the help of, the followers. The Lamb's actions and nature can range from an anti-villainous visionary to a power-hungry monster. To increase the variety of the pool of Tarot Cards, the player can purchase new ones from merchants around the map or by completing various objectives throughout the game.Īlthough their true personality is left up to the player, the Lamb does show some distinctive traits while growing and maintaining the cult. Other cards can sometimes be found in chests that appear after completing each battle room, in the final room of each level or just sitting on the floor of a room with no enemies.When coming across Clauneck on the crusades, Lamb can choose between two cards that remain active for only the duration of the crusade.There are two categories of tarot cards the Lamb can use, and both are discovered when going on dangerous crusades. ![]() ![]() There are Tarot Cards the Lamb can discover which grant certain abilities or upgrades of already-existing traits. They are able to take down large and powerful monsters all alone, regardless of what type of weapon is being used.ĭespite the Lamb not having any distinct dialogue (aside from a dedicated button that makes them bleat but has no other function, currently PC only), they seem to have some form of charisma due to the Lamb's ability to recruit countless followers to their cult, coupled with the fact that they can change the minds of dissenters. One of the most prominent traits of the Lamb is their melee combat proficiency. Once defeated, however, the lamb will be resurrected with only minor penalties to faith and collected resources. With help from The One Who Waits, the Lamb has increased health and durability, though they can still be defeated. It is not until after this event that the player sees the full extent of Lamb's abilities. The extent of the Lamb's abilities are not fully known before being sacrificed and revived. Once they gain the Red Crown's power, it is up to the player whether to make them a benevolent shepherd to their followers or a malevolent exploiter that only uses their congregation to further their own ends. But after being given the Red Crown, they are brought back from the dead with new powers on the stipulation that he become a cult leader. Inspired by the use of the lamb throughout religion as a symbol of the holy and noble, the player starts the game as an innocent and powerless sacrificial lamb, about to be offered to a dark and violent deity. By default, they wear a red cape known as their "fleece", which can come in other colors such as gold, green, purple, white, and blue after unlocking certain requirements. Around the lamb's neck is a black collar with a golden bell dangling from it. On top of their head is the Red Crown, an object of great power that is black in color with two pointed prongs and a crimson eye in the center. Their large black eyes feature horizontal pupils. The Lamb is a small sheep with white wool, dark grey face, limbs, and ears, and tiny red horns. “Also underway, we’re building a new Chanel on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles,” Marino adds. ![]() Marino’s connection with Chanel continues as he works on the Chanel Fine Jewelry boutique in Place Vendome in Paris, which is set to open early next year. “To be honest, who knows how long anything lasts - and especially retail architecture never lasts that long. Design Miami 2014: an exhibition opens today at the Bass Museum of Art celebrating the work of flamboyant American architect Peter Marino the recipient. “A book still remains the best way to record a body of work,” Marino says. The book represents a way for the celebrated architect to memorialize his formidable catalogue of creation for the brand. Returning to the rarity of the design relationship, Marino remarks that it was the very uniqueness of the work with Chanel that inspired the creation of the hardcover tome in the first place. Marino points to a current project in the Miami Design District that sees a commission from artist Chris Succo for the elevator, along with an eight-foot-long painting by Peter Dayton, three works by Gregor Hildebrandt, photography by Vera Lutter, and drawings by Jan-Ole Schiemann as proof of this.

At one point, I defeated a smaller Orc captain named Norsko of the Welts with a single arrow shot through his eye. I began to recognize certain foes and was amazed at how well they remembered our previous encounters. Rather than setting you up with specific, predetermined bosses to take down, the game emulates the Uruk chain of command, placing Orcs with randomly generated names, strengths, weaknesses and personality traits into various positions of power.Īs you encounter these enemies and defeat them or die to them, a relationship is formed. This sense of more well-developed enemies is aided by Shadow of Mordor's "nemesis system," a pre-release talking point that sounds like a gimmick but ends up essential in shaping the game's world. But rather than being unorganized beasts, the Orcs here are smart and have their own personalities. Don't get me wrong, I killed hundreds by the end of the game. In most fantasy games, these foes would be nameless enemies cut down by the dozens. Most surprising of all, Shadow of Mordor spends a lot of time and resources fleshing out the Orcs (or Uruks, if you prefer). Likewise, the ghostly companion and the handful of other characters Talion meets along the way are well-written and fun to see in action. ![]() Talion begins the game as a generic, revenge-driven video game protagonist, but he exhibits a more nuanced and interesting personality as it progresses. Some of that setup may sound like fantasy nonsense if you're not already a huge Lord of the Rings fan, but even as someone lukewarm on Tolkien's books, I found the plot engaging. Talion, too, is killed but finds himself returned to life and mysteriously tied to a powerful and ancient wraith. In the opening cutscene, his outpost is overrun by Orcs and his family slaughtered along with everyone under his command. Main character Talion is a Ranger who guards the Black Gate, the main entrance blocking the land of Mordor from the rest of Middle-earth. ![]() Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Shadow of Mordor opens dramatically.
