![]() So let's go ahead and set it to be like a dark gray. Let's change the background color when we are subscribe. You know what? Why don't we do some more fun stuff? Why don't we say something like self dot, well, not self. We're going to update the label to red if it's not true. If the status comes in as true, we're updating the label. ![]() So let's just verify that everything is good. Is that the notifications are never being removed and they might be getting stuck in memory which could be a part of our problem here. So, yeah, I think that this will help removing the observers from storefront VC because that is actually, that might be the source of our issue here. Okay, I can go into my different view controllers. It does appear that it is sending through. So we're going to just go ahead and hang tight while the subscription is still active. That's true, because we still have about two minutes left being 841. Okay, let's go ahead and check out what we did here and let's see if this helps. Let's actually, we don't need to call view will disappear, we'll just deinitialize it because whenever the view controller goes away, it's initialized by Swift. We also need to call this on detail VC like so let's go ahead and put it right beneath view will disappear like so and you know what? It looks like we are removing it from view will disappear. So call deinit and remove the observers here, guys. So go ahead and call notification center dot default dot remove observer and call self, okay? Whoo, so now whenever this view controller is deinitialized, it's going to remove that observer and that way we won't accidentally get observers that are just kind of locked in memory for when the app opens again. Okay, so you know what we're actually going to do, we're going to call deinit and whenever this view controller is deinitialized, we're going to just remove all the observers on this view controller. I am surprised we have not noticed that until right now. We are adding observers for these notifications, but we are never removing them. What are we missing? We are missing a very important thing. Let's think about what we could be missing here. Let's go ahead and let's go into storefront VC. That is not doing what it's supposed to be doing. It actually bought a new subscription for us. It says subscription active and when we loaded up the app, look at that. Our subscription should be expired from the last video and let's go ahead and check this out. Let's go see if this helps to fix our problem. We are also setting the non-consumable purchase to be true. We're going to paste it and then we're actually going to break, okay? So there we go, beautiful. ![]() Now, let's go ahead and let's type that here. Because at that point, we have succeeded as well. And then what we're going to do is we're going to actually call the same code from this function right here for a successful subscription. Let's call case IAP mealtime monthly sub. So let's go ahead and let's actually modify complete to be the way it was before. Because that implies that our function up here is going to get called every single time and we want to make sure that it gets called. So that's being called, but you know what? I don't really like how I'm not sending a notification when I actually buy it. And that will basically just print out when the user taps the buy button until they either purchase, restore, fail, or defer. We'll call debug print and we'll just say purchasing, I can't type purchasing dot dot dot. And you know what while we're purchasing, why don't we go ahead and handle that as well. Let's say someone can't pay, we're going to go ahead and call finished transaction there as well. So what we can also do is think about what happens if payment is deferred. So let's go ahead and let's actually put that up beneath complete and we're also going to go ahead and put failed beneath the notification just to be consistent. We're telling it to be done before we're done using the data. And I'm trying to figure out why that is, but I think what it boils down to is that we are calling finished transaction before we're actually completing. So it appears that request did finish, is not being called when the actual purchase is being made. Let's go ahead and pull open our xcode project and let's troubleshoot this, let's figure out what the reason for our problems are. Where basically we were not able to show the changes made in a subscription when we wanted to be showing them. And in this video, we're going to go ahead and fix those problems we were just having in the previous video. ![]() ![]() You can now Bond with Lynn up to Level 20, and you get 4,000G upon completion. ![]() Withstand Lynn’s onslaught to win her respect. If you don’t, she’ll unleash her Emblem Attack and can hit almost anyone on the map at this point with an arrow shot, and ultimately why you’d want to keep the fliers at home. Much like with Emblem Lucina, swarm her with your units and hit her with as many attacks as you can to whittle her life bar down twice. She has a revival on her, but what really helps is that even after you attack her, she’ll take a turn to tell that she’s attacking, so you essentially get two entire free turns on her. The good news is Emblem Lynn doesn’t attack you until you get within her range, as even then, she’s equipped with a bow, so you can get right next to her and avoid a counterattack. They also have Silence, which can hamper any tome user or healer you want to bring to help fight off Lynn. Once you get down there, you’ll want to take out the tent unit to her right to prevent getting swarmed. Over on the left side of the map, make a beeline for Lynn as quickly as possible. Take them out as quickly as you can.įend off the ranged attacks as best you can out in the field. The other has Fracture and causes you to break and be weaponless. The one on the left has Freeze, which can stop your advancement towards Lynn. The camping units you need to be the most wary of are on the left and south-right. As Alear will note, they should be gotten rid of, and with good reason - if you get within range of those tents but don’t kill the units in front of them, they’ll summon 5-6 more enemies and make things infinitely more difficult.Īlear is doomed to start the farthest away from Lyyn, but all that means is they can lead the charge against the middle forces. Start sending your troops in the upper left on down, while both of your squads on the right side of the map should start focusing on any enemy they find in front of tents. Put at least one healer with that upper left crew. In fact, hand out some Hand Axes and Javelins before hitting the field, as again, make sure everyone has options for ranged counterattacks in addition to up-close weaponry so you can get those one-space hits with no counterattack.įinally, make sure you place whoever you feel most comfortable taking on Lynn in the upper left corner of the map, as they’ll get there probably long before the rest of your crew does. ![]() If you’ve managed to get one of the Levin Swords in the game by this point, it’d be perfect to give it to Alear for ranged damage. Bringing at least a couple of those swift dagger throwers also isn’t a terrible idea, as Yunaka, Zelkov, and Mirren can hit from range but are also dexterous enough to dodge all the arrows flying around. As far as Emblems, putting Lucina on someone that can cover a great amount of range, like Alfred or the previously mentioned Fogato. At that, you’ll want a squad mostly consisting of units with ranged attack capabilities.įogato is one of the newer additions you could use, as he’s the sturdiest archer you likely have at this point. If you’re anything like us, you’ve been learning on Chloe and Ivy as some of your big range fighters, but it’d be best to leave them at home here. The big reason why you might want additional characters is because the map is littered with archers.

Regardless, we subsequently managed to figure out a couple of the mysterious pairings, but we were still left without the reasoning behind the pairs matched with the arrows (down 2 and up 1 down 3). There was no explanation for the different pairings. I manually went through the book and found the solution (on page 777), but it was just a solution with a poor hint. I decided to revisit the puzzle after we completed the game. ![]() I tried looking the solution up in the Handy Manual, but the hint for finding the page is (probably) wrong. Thinking about it now, Lume's ability to reach and jump is inconsistent throughout the game, and so perhaps it should have come to less of a surprise.Īfter the Spinner House, there was a puzzle with a circuit board and while we were able to solve it, we didn't completely understand the reason behind some of the pairings.

First responders salute in a driving rain as a U.S. People who don’t sleep enough also have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease. A lack of sleep can affect your mental health, making it harder to think or focus, putting you in a worse mood, and leading to bigger problems like anxiety or depression. When you don’t get enough sleep, it can take a big toll. Releasing hormones necessary for growth and fertility.2 Why Are Sleep Cycles Important?Īltogether, the different stages of sleep lead to many important effects within the mind and body, including: 4 Your brain also becomes much more active, leading to vivid dreams. Most of your muscles are completely relaxed, but your eye muscles rapidly contract, making your eyes move in multiple directions. The brain becomes very active during the REM sleep stage. 2 REM sleep stages build on themselves and get longer each cycle. These stages are followed by rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is the sleep stage during which you have dreams. It becomes more difficult for external disturbances to awaken you when you are in stage 3 sleep. During this time, your heart rate and breathing become very slow, and your body heals. Stage 3 sleep is deep sleep that provides quality rest for your mind and body. Your brain activity diminishes, but occasionally has quick spurts of activity called sleep spindles, which help refresh your brain and process new memories. 2 Stage 2Īs your body further relaxes and slows, you enter stage 2 of the sleep cycle. Your muscles become more relaxed, but they may wake you if they suddenly jerk or twitch. During this stage, your breaths and heartbeat start to slow. ![]() When you fall asleep, your brain slips into the first stage of sleep, which lasts just a few minutes. You sleep the most deeply during the last stages of NREM sleep (Stage 3). Your sleep progresses from light to deep sleep and then back up again. The first three sleep stages are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. NREM sleep dominates the first half of the night and REM dominates the second half of the night. ![]() Suffice it to say that there are currently three stages in NREM sleep and one stage in REM sleep. Two of the NREM stages (Stages 3 and 4) were combined into one stage and thus, the numbering is different depending on when the information was published. The conversation around sleep cycles is complicated by the fact that the numbering of stages has changed in the past few years. Each night, you complete about four to six sleep cycles, which on average takes about 8 hours. This cycle can range from 70 to 90 minutes. One sleep cycle occurs when you progress through all of the sleep stages. As you leave one stage and enter the next, you experience changes in brain activity as well as body processes like breathing and heart rate. Your body moves through four sleep stages each night. The best restorative rest is a complex dance of different sleep stages that shift and expand throughout the night. When it comes to getting a good night’s rest, it’s not enough to focus on quantity - it’s also important to consider your sleep quality. ![]() ![]() This is the bit where you can tell we were doing this for the first time – we kind of measured it rule by thumb, then patched out any bits that didn’t match up properly. We then covered the cake in red, roll out fondant icing (it took about 300g in total). Apparently this is something that can happen, and the icing layer keeps the two separate. The lady in the cake shop told me this is not just to make the fondant stick, but also to stop the fondant being ruined by condensation if the cake starts sweating. We stuck the two pieces together with buttercream icing, then slathered the whole outside of the cake with icing too. We “shaved the tops off” off both cakes, and then cut them to the right lengths – we eyeballed this bit – to make it look roughly like a van, slightly angling the side on the smaller top cake where the windshield would go. I chose a chocolate chip batter, and actually made too, one in a 28cm long loaf tin and one in a 22cm long tin. Gluten free cakes (I wanted to be able to eat some too!) have a habit of falling to pieces if you don’t get your recipe just right and this was no time for experimenting. I took a little short cut by making the actual cake out of a package. I don’t think I have the patience to make it in to a regular thing, but it definitely made a change to hanging out in front of the TV. Baking a novelty cake has always been on my list of “things to do before…” so it seemed like the perfect opportunity. It actually turned in to a fun evening with the husband, trying to construct the perfect Royal Mail van together out of cake, buttercream and fondant icing sugar. As previously mentioned, he’s a huge fan of Postman Pat, so I’d got it in to my head that, as he was now old enough to appreciate it, I wanted to make him a Postman Pat birthday cake.
