The third enhanced privacy option in Facebook is block lists. The lock icon menu works the same as the drop-down menus you used when selecting your overall privacy settings. This allows you to override your privacy settings for that one post. Each time you make a post or create a photo album, you can use the lock icon to select who can see that post. For example, suppose you have posts set to "everyone" in your privacy settings, but you want to post a question for only your "friends" to answer. Your second option for enhanced privacy is to use the lock menu when posting specific content. See our article How to Artfully Cull Your Facebook Friends List for more about creating, editing and using these lists. Then, use the name of your custom Friends lists as you would individual user names to show or hide that content. To do this, select "Customize" when selecting a privacy level for sharing that content. You can use these custom Friends lists in your privacy settings, too. Next, let's look at how to refine your privacy settings with some additional Facebook features. Sometimes Facebook's "friends only" setting isn't restrictive enough, especially if you have hundreds of friends and different levels of trust regarding your private information. This is a handy feature to use even if you're not changing any settings. This shows you what your Facebook profile looks like to everyone other than your friends. Facebook saves and applies each selection immediately.Īnother option is the "preview my profile" link at the top of the "customize settings" page. Here, you can select the privacy level Facebook should use for your profile content, posts to your wall, tagging in photos and other features. When customizing your sharing settings, the "customize settings" page has 20 different categories of information to choose from. When you're using custom settings, Facebook adds the "custom" label to the list of sharing profiles displayed on your privacy settings page. To create or edit these custom settings any time, click the "customize settings" link below the settings chart. ![]() If Facebook's built-in profiles don't provide the privacy combination you're looking for, you can create your own custom sharing settings.

![]() Smithing used to be one of the hardest skills in RuneScape Classic. New pickaxes of all kinds came out that could hit multiple times per click. Before even that, player had to use pickaxe on a rock instead of just clicking on a rock. Furthermore, you didn't automatically hit the rock, you had to click every individual hit. It wasn't until the introduction of Fatigue that rocks began to show when they had ore in them. Thus players had to prospect each rock which led to repetitive clicking. In mining originally, rocks wouldn't change colour when there was ore present. After the update, some players (especially free users) complained that regular logs didn't give as much experience as they used to.īefore the introduction of pickaxes of different materials, there was only one type of pickaxe. Before Fletching was added, Woodcutting worked the same way. It is the only skill to work this way, meaning experience is gained more quickly as levels are gained. Experience allocated per log depends on the Firemaking level itself. You have to drop the logs before you could burn them. Only the logs of normal trees can be burnt, and you can burn logs anywhere, even banks. In very early days, player had to use the axe on a tree to cut it, requiring a lot of clicks. Excess logs would be automatically dropped on the ground. However, you could continue to cut logs with a full inventory. Unlike RS2, in RSC, chopping trees takes more time, as you can 'slip and fall' and fail to cut the tree, and have to try to cut it again. Free-to-play players could still only chop regular trees, though. However, Jagex later updated the game and introduced many more trees once they created the Fletching skill. When members were introduced into the game, Oak trees were added. There were originally only regular trees and bronze axes when the game first came out. The servers were shut down around 9:06 UTC on 6 August 2018. On, Jagex announced that RuneScape Classic would be closing on 6 August 2018 due to numerous unfixable problems within the game. Jagex would later temporarily reopen RuneScape Classic to all members on various occasions, most often for celebrating RuneScape's anniversary. However, after many players suggested it, Mod Stevew, a Jagex Moderator, added a new sticky thread to the Forum Feedback forum allowing players to sign if they wish to have access, provided that their account is an RSC account. Many players missed this thread and therefore they were denied access. This was due to a number of problems, one being that Jagex simply decided that RuneScape Classic's upkeep imposed a heavy cost on hosting the servers, since it is no longer updated.īefore Jagex closed the RSC forums, they had a thread running for a few months on the RSC General forum asking players to sign if they wanted to keep on using the forums. On 15 January 2006, only players who had logged in between 4 August 2005 and 15 January 2006 could play RuneScape Classic, meaning that members could not access RSC unless they had logged in within that time frame. Jagex claimed this was largely due to the free version being mainly used to break rules. On 4 August 2005, Jagex discontinued and closed down the free version of RuneScape Classic it remained accessible for many years for Members. The same account was used for both games but items, progress and skills remained separate. Eventually this was disabled permanently and whatever items were left, remained on one game or the other. During the first month of RuneScape 2, all stats were copied from RSC to RS2 and players were able to transfer items at various points between both games. This update would later become known as RuneScape 2, which would be released on 29 March 2004, with the official game officially being renamed to RuneScape Classic, with a decreased number of servers still being active. On 11 June 2002, Jagex announced a new, "much faster" 3D game engine for RuneScape. After much success, RuneScape was open to everyone after the Gower brothers decided to maintain and build upon their already existent business. The game was renamed to Runescape in the process. In October 1999, Andrew enlisted the help of his brothers, Ian and Paul, to rewrite the game. Later, seven months after the initial development of DeviousMUD, an open beta was announced for those who wished to play the Java-based game straight from their computer. He created the platform solely based upon Java-dependent computing and 2D graphics. DeviousMUD, the precursor to RuneScape Classic, and the forefather of RuneTek, was created and developed by Andrew Gower some time in 1998. ![]() This is a nice follow up to The Loco-Motion in that it stays in the same tempo and pop style as The Loco-Motion. Switching lead vocals again with me on lead gives it a little more texture in the show. Walk Like A Man: This song is another instant anthem, highlighting the band's rhythmic rock, with some progressive rock touches. They even do a “Loco-Motion” line dance through the crowd. I love watching the audience get up on their feet and start dancing as soon as we sing the opening lines. Grand Funk doing The Loco-Motion was such a silly idea we thought we would try it. We felt we needed another "hit" type song for the album and started throwing around ideas. We were in our studio in Mich igan with Todd Rundgren producing and working on the album Shinin' On. GFR doing The Loco-Motion came about as a funny episode. Can you talk about the joy in performing this one ? It’s the definition of a feel-good tune, a pop song that you guys really Grand Funk-ized, making it heavy. The Loco-Motion: This song's an important one for the band, hitting No. The song has a great R&B feel and switching up with me on lead vocal adds to the flavor for the show. ![]() Shinin' On was fashioned after Freddy King's great blues song Goin' Down. After having Freddy open for us on our Phoenix Tour, we were so impressed with his music and style that the influence was clear. Why does the song continue to resonate for you? Shinin' On: This is another song that underlines how Grand Funk Railroad wrote and performed positive anthems that galvanized people. ![]() The drums, bass and organ track is a blast to play and the vocal lines are awesome: “Come on everybody, we're gonna have a good time.” The song works well as an opener or as we do it now as our second song of the show. What inspired you to include it here?Īfter doing the song live as a three-piece band, in 1971 we tried recording this song in the studio a few times until we captured the final version on our album E Pluribus Funk. The opening line “We're havin' a party, everybody’s invited” is a perfect opening statement.įootstompin' Music: This song has a ferocious rhythmic groove and it's another one that pumps up the listener/concert-goer. The song is truly descriptive of GFR's Rock/R &B blend. Having a top 40 hit with Rock & Roll Soul was our first step to freedom. Rock & Roll Soul was our first single after leaving our crooked manager Terry Knight who had stolen all our money and was taking us to court over the name Grand Funk Railroad. Why does this song light you up when you perform it? Rock & Roll Soul: The phrase rock and roll soul is an apt description of the band’s music and mission. The Grand Funk Railroad set list highlights, according to Don Brewer Read the below Q&A with original founding member Don Brewer (vocals and drums, writer and singer of the multi-million selling hit, We’re An American Band) discussing highlights of the Grand Funk Railroad set list. Originating from Flint, Mich. in 1969, this top-selling American rock group of the 70’s is Comin’ To Your Town To Help You Party It Down. Watch the tour trailer here.Īfter playing to millions of fans on the band’s tours from 1996 to 2019, Grand Funk will continue to reach both new and long-time fans on the Some Kind Of Wonderful Tour, named in honor of their 1975 Billboard pop smash. Ignace on Friday, Nov. 18 as part of their ongoing Some Kind Of Wonderful Tour,” named in honor of their 1975 Billboard pop smash. The legendary rock and roll powerhouse Grand Funk Railroad will stop in St. ![]() At Town Hall 7 you can get Maximum of 20 housing spaces in your clan castle, here are some of my recommendations for CC troops combinations for the defense at Town Hall 7. Even though the base alone is sufficient to stop most of the attacks used by Town Hall 7 attackers, using the clan castle can help a lot. ![]() Using clan castle troops for defending your base is highly recommended as they can put the attacker in trouble by distracting them. BEST DEFENSIVE CLAN CASTLE TROOPS COMBINATIONS I’ve left a copy link for this base below so that you guys can easily copy this base, I’ll see you guys in the next post. Some people might think that position of this air sweeper is wrong, because opponent can easily take out the sweeper along with air defense with the use of lightning spells, but this is exactly just as i planned, because doing so will limit the direction opponent can start their dragon attack from, since they have taken out the air defense on the right, they won’t be starting their dragon attack from this side, because it is a common knowledge in mass dragon strategy to deploy dragons in a straight in straight line where you are closest to the air defenses, so the only remaining direction opponent can deploy their dragons is this, and what opponent won’t realize is that we have played into out trap because we have placed some high hitpoint buildings on front of air defenses, such as storages, clan castle, etc along with our barbarian king, that will keep the dragons busy and distracted while our air defenses will be dealing high damage to the dragons, making most of them die before they can even reach our air defenses. The air sweeper is also strategically placed to complement the air defense’s location. We keep our air defenses separated and placed in different areas, so they can cover most parts of our base. ![]() So, was Edison the sole inventor of the light bulb like he is given credit for? Absolutely not. Coolidge changed the carbon filaments to tungsten, resulting in a longer-lasting and brighter bulb. ![]() It became widely used and wasn’t changed again until 1911 when William D. Edison’s light bulb design took off, and eventually he adapted it to make it practical for daily use. Ī few years later, Edison bought Swan out of their company, known as Ediswan. Together, they became the Edison and Swan United Electric Light Company, Ltd. Edison lost the fight, leading to the 1883 merge of the Edison Electric Company and the Swan Electric Company. Swan’s light bulbs developed adequately as well, and the following year, in 1881, The Swan Electric Light Company was established.Įdison sued Swan after they mutually accused each other of patent infringement. patents for his now commercially viable light bulbs and established the Edison Electric Company. Both Edison’s invention and Swan’s invention were functional, but neither was ready for commercial use.īoth men continued to improve their inventions. The calendar clicked to 1880, and Swan presented a working lamp. On New Year’s Eve of 1879, Edison presented his team’s latest light bulb invention. He independently received a patent in the U.K. However, Edison and his team had competition.įrom England, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan was also working on creating an incandescent light bulb. He put together a team of 14 men called “the muckers” to help him out, and they got to work. Now, Edison was inspired to replace gas lights by creating an inexpensive, reliable, and safe incandescent light bulb in a six-week timeframe. Five years later, the Evans-Woodward duo gave up and sold their patent to Edison. Their light bulbs worked well but just weren’t selling. These men filed a patent in the United States and Canada for incandescent light bulbs with carbon filaments. Pressing forward to 1874, we introduce two men, Mathew Evans and Henry Woodward. His mercury vacuum pump system was such a success that it carries his name to this day. He removed the air from inside the electric bulbs, preserving the filament and eliminating the blackening problem. Twenty-four years later, in 1865, Hermann Sprengel, a German chemist, made a discovery. ![]() The air inside resulted in blackened burn marks on the glass bulb and rapid burnout. The bulb’s poor design only included a partial vacuum causing it to heat up too quickly. Unfortunately, the lamp wasn’t quite right. Frederick de Moleyns: 1841įast-forward through a slew of adaptations and other inventors to 1841 when Frederick de Moleyns received the first patent given for an incandescent lamp with a glass bulb in England. Here we’ll cover a few more of the notable names and events that led up to Edison’s fame. Although Davy’s light was not yet practical for commercial use, it started something life-changing. The original electric light was then created in 1802 by Sir Humphrey Davy of England. The first artificial light sources date back to the 1700s. A Brief History Lesson on the Invention of Light Bulbs Did Thomas Edison Invent the Light Bulb?Īlthough we’re taught in history that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 1879, the truth is that this invention was a complicated process involving many inventors across the globe for around 150 years. You may even learn some helpful tidbits you wish you knew before today. From their storied history to the best types of light bulbs to use in different situations, we’ll answer all of your bulb-related questions and more. If you’re looking for information about light bulbs, this detailed guide is for you. What’s considered to be the most valuable invention since human-made fire? The electric light bulb, of course! This significant development impacted the Industrial Revolution, allowing for longer working hours, safer evening travel conditions, and social order after dark. |
