Yes, sure, if you’re a fan of EA Games and willing to pay a monthly subscription fee, download the manager. Since the manager is attached to a subscription, and the subscription is attached to a fee, if you’re not feeling the games catalog, there’s really nothing special you need to stick around to see. ![]() And, again looking at the premium tier, users have been commenting that if you’re not much into sports games, there isn’t a lot for you. If you’re not terribly interested in EA games, however, there’s not much to recommend it. If the results of both please you, or if you’re a die-hard EA games fan, there’s not much in it - this is the platform for you. Looking through the Vault it should be immediately obvious if you’re interested in the games or not and, if you’re thinking of a Premier Access subscription, you’ll assess the premium games that are likely to be on offer. When you look at the manager in the context of the games, however, your opinions are likely to change significantly. Somehow, using it just doesn’t feel as nice as Steam, but it’s a perfectly acceptable user experience regardless. It stores the games centrally, gives you access to new ones and your friends and it does it all fairly competently, if not impressively. It’s hard to talk about Origin without talking about EA games, and that’s something that you’ll see echoed all over the internet. There are other alternatives, of course, but each one is generally limited to games from the same manufacturer as the hub itself, and that’s ultimately what’s going to influence your choice. In terms of other PC game hubs, however, Steam probably pips it to the post. You can still buy the games on offer and play them on your PC, but if you want a centralized hub or the free access to the Vault games, this download manager is the only option. You can download the Origin client to Mac and Windows. ![]() It’s probably best not to turn to Google in times of troubleshooting, though, as there’s an awful lot of Origin and EA hate out there. Once you’ve paid for your Origin subscription, you’ll have access to pro customer support and there’s also online and social media help. Building out your friends groups is pretty intuitive, and there are built-in voice and text chat options, for communicating with them. The platform is also pretty good for multiplayer and online gaming. Even though games are downloaded to your computer (and not stored in the cloud), you will be able to save some games to the cloud, which makes them accessible from different computers (but you can only run one copy of Origin on any computer at the one time). There’s also an offline mode, perfect for traveling, and you’ll be able to import any PC games you have and view them via the manager, which makes for more central management. There’s a library, store, space to connect with your friends, and space to modify or change your subscription.ĭownloads from Origin are fast and you can play before a game is entirely downloaded. If you’ve used any other game hub or manager, you’ll get to grips with it quickly. The manager interface is perfectly fine, although not particularly cool. Since you can only use it to download the games you’ll be accessing via your subscription, it’s hard to look at in isolation - how good you think it is will be inextricably linked to how good you think the related games are. The download manager itself is very acceptable. Depending on the level of subscription you purchase, you will also have access to other benefits, like a premium tier of high-ticket games, early access to newly released games, discounts on new game purchases, and access to micro-transactions called MTX bonuses. It’s worth bearing in mind that the games available in the Vault depend on your geographic location. Both give you free access to a catalog of around 70 - 100 games, called The Vault. Origin currently offers a 7-day trial, after which you’ll need to make a decision.Ĭurrently, available subscription options are Origin Access Basic and Origin Access Premier. It’s a subscription-based service, which means you’ll need to sign up to download and use the manager. ![]() Origin is the name of a PC gaming service from game developers Electronic Arts and the name of the download manager you use to get those PC games onto your computer.

With wellness top of mind, it was easier to make other healthy choices (including dietary ones) throughout the day. I paid more attention to my overall health.Īlthough I had only committed to drinking one glass of green tea a day, that tiny resolution kept me thinking more about my health in general. MORE: Exactly What To Eat When You Have A Cold Or Flu Was it the antioxidant power of green tea? I'd like to think so I drank a few extra cups that week. My toddler was the sickest she had ever been, and even ended up in the hospital with dehydration. Three weeks into my experiment, my daughter and husband both came down with a terrible cold and sore throat. I started drinking green tea in mid-September, just as the change of seasons was bringing a wave of colds and other viruses to my home in New England. MORE: 8 Things That Happen When You Finally Stop Drinking Diet Soda ![]() ![]() Once I figured out how to flavor my iced green tea without adding a lot of sweeteners (see above!), it became my go-to beverage whenever I was craving something other than water. As someone who chooses not to eat many artificial or processed foods, I never feel good about putting aspartame into my body, but I've never really enjoyed drinking unsweetened iced tea. My drink of choice is normally water, but when I do crave something with a bit more flavor I usually reach for sugar-free iced tea-but by sugar-free, I really mean artificially sweetened with aspartame. My favorite combination was green tea infused with cinnamon, berries, and a little honey. I'd brew a large pot of green tea and add honey, lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, or berries, all of which majorly improved the taste (and have health benefits of their own) without adding a lot of calories. I had a lot of fun experimenting on my own. Plain green tea can be kind of bitter, but there's an easy fix: You can buy flavored green tea, or you can flavor it yourself. ( Avoid the temptation to buy the pre-bottled stuff.) So rather than risk burning myself while rushing around, I opted to make large batches of iced tea that I stored in the refrigerator. While that sounds great and relaxing, I'm a busy mom of a toddler, and I don't get to do a lot of sitting still. When most people think of drinking tea, they might imagine sitting in a chair and sipping a hot beverage. Here's what happened over the course of 30 days. Plus, who wouldn't want to lower their risk of dreaded conditions like heart disease and cancer? I decided to drink at least one cup of green tea every day for a month to see if I'd notice any difference in my health. I've struggled with my weight for years, and while I know that limiting portions and exercising is most important, I'd certainly welcome a little extra help. Catechins also seem to play a role in weight management: One study found that people who drank green tea lowered their body fat percentage and body mass index in just 12 weeks. ![]() (Heal your whole body with Rodale's 12-day liver detox for total body health!)īecause green tea isn't processed very much, it's loaded with catechins-a type of antioxidant that fights free radicals and repairs damaged cells. But green tea doesn't seem to be a passing fad: It's been consumed all over Asia for centuries, and over the past decade tons of research has linked green tea to a myriad of health benefits, from lower blood pressure and blood sugar to less belly fat.

Featuring nineteen of those very hits, United Souls have plucked the tracks synonymous with the collective during this time – including their first single release through Buddah – the ballad ‘Where Peaceful Waters Flow’ (1973) – and the colossal hit that would follow later that same year, the Grammy-winning ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’. The success of the collective’s ‘Grapevine’ (1967) ultimately became Motown’s biggest selling single to date positioning the band for far greater things.Īs previously mentioned, the move to Buddah Records in 1973, and later Columbia Records, is very much where the story of this United Souls ‘The Hits’ compilation begins. Soul was where the artists that were deemed to be missing a distinct crossover appeal were housed and it’s true to say that Gladys Knight & The Pips perhaps weren’t seen at the outset of living up to the expectations of the aforementioned front-line artists. While Gladys Knight & The Pips are often cited as one of the finest acts to grace the hallowed walls of Motown Records – and despite the success of songs like the Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong penned ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’ – the quintet’s biggest hits actually came in those post-Motown years.īut sticking with their Motown tenure a moment longer – while a part of the label, the group were actually relegated to Motown’s subsidiary division entitled Soul along with notable names like Jimmy Ruffin, The Originals and Jr Walker & The All-Stars.

Another Grammy came for #1 hit 'Midnight Train to Georgia', before she picked up two more for 'Love Overboard' and her collaboration with Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Dionne Warwick-another #1 single, 'That's What Friends Are For'. Breakout hit 'Every Beat of My Heart' was followed by a string of successful singles before the release of 'Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye)', which earned her her first Grammy Award.

Forgetting all scenes will also remove smart home devices and groups. If you see (too) many old Harmony activities and favorites, you have the option to “Forget All”, when scrolling to the bottom. In case you linked any of those skills earlier, let’s get you back to the start, so you can start with a fresh installation. Open in a browser and navigate to Smart Home scenes. Back to the Start Alexa Smart Home Scenes (Browser) Open your Harmony app and make sure what you find, is what you want to integrate with Alexa. Setting up Harmony for Alexaįirst, we need to make sure that all the activities and favorite channels we want to speech-enable are already setup in the Logitech Harmony app. We won’t see scenes in our smart home configuration and we won’t be able to rename the “ask Harmony to” commands to our liking via Alexa Routines. I’d always recommend using onboard tools whenever possible, but in this case, we are stuck. Unfortunately, the red skill is not a smart home skill. because they add another layer of complexity and require an additional cloud service to be up and running 24/7 to mediate between Alexa and Harmony. ![]() As mentioned in previous posts I am not a big fan of 3rd party services like Yonomi, IFTTT, Stringify etc. Since we will install a second hub, we will also install the red skill for that. Your Harmony activities and favorite channels will appear under the Smart Home Scenes in the Alexa app, so you will be able to add the activities and favorites to Alexa routines, which we will do in the “candlelight dinner” routine. It also has the advantage to be categorized as “smart home” skill in Alexa terms. It sure is a matter of taste, but as speech recognition veteran I prefer the efficient, snappy blue skill to keep the commands short. Note, if for whatever reason the control goes back to Alexa and you would like to control Harmony, just turn on the activity which is already running to reconnect. The same happens, when you do not ask Alexa any Harmony related commands for 30 minutes. When you turn an activity off or ask Alexa to play some music, the control is handed back to Alexa. The magic is implemented by handing commands, like volume to Harmony, as soon as you start a Harmony activity. This does not sound like a big deal, but if you think of commands like “Alexa, volume up”, how is Alexa supposed to know, which volume to increase, TV or Echo? Last summer Logitech fell in love with Harmony, or was it the other way around? So they put in much more effort and created a blue skill, which simplifies controlling Harmony by simply omitting “ask Harmony to”. ![]() ![]() # We use this variable for future REST calls. ::SecurityProtocol = ::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072 # installed (.NET 4.5 is an in-place upgrade). ![]() NET 4.0, even though they are addressable if. # Use integers because the enumeration value for TLS 1.2 won't exist # Set TLS 1.2 (3072) as that is the minimum required by various up-to-date repositories. # We initialize a few things that are needed by this script - there are no other requirements. # You need to have downloaded the Chocolatey package as well.
