Some western Mahjong Solitaire games depict the dragons with actual dragon drawings colored accordingly. It can be displayed as a white tile or with a frame to differentiate it from replacement tiles. The white dragon works similarly to a Joker in the traditional Mahjong. The green dragon tile is usually represented by a character that means “get rich” or “strike rich”. The Western tiles are often marked with the letter C. The red dragon is represented by the red character 中 (Chung) meaning Center. That is to say, the suit is not related to these mythical beings in any way. The name Dragons was invented by Joseph Park Babcock who adapted and introduced the traditional Mahjong game to the West in the early 1900s. In the traditional Mahjong, the Circles suit represents ancient copper coins that had holes in the center. However, due to its shape, it was mistakenly interpreted as bamboo sticks by Western players.Ī bird is often depicted as the 1 Bamboo tile. In the original Mahjong, it represents strings of coins roped together. This suit is also known as sticks or strings. Arabic numerals are also added to the western tiles. These tiles have the character for myriad or number at the bottom and the Chinese character for numbers from 1 to 9 on top of it. Regardless, they must always be divided into 7 suits, albeit not all of them are used in the easiest levels of the game.Īs the regular version of the game borrows the tiles from Mahjong (thus the name), these are the suits that players are more likely to find: Numbers As the goal is to simply match them to clear the board, they can display a wide variety of drawings. The tile design is customizable in most digital Mahjong games. The players can also customize the tiles and choose a different design for the suits. Using these features will not affect the players’ final time. You can use the Shuffle feature when there are no more moves available or the Hint button to find a pair on the board. Selected pairs will be automatically removed from the board.

The drawings and symbols on the tiles must be the same in order for them to match. Thinking of it as a physical game, this means that the tiles are only free to play if they can be swiped left or right without disturbing the remaining tiles on the board. The tiles can only be paired if they have at least one side free and no other tiles on top of it. The goal is to clear all the tiles from the board by matching them in pairs. Mahjong is a very simple and straightforward game. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” The Sign of Jonahģ8 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”ģ9 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.ģ3 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.Ģ9 “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.ģ0 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. How then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. 23 All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”Ģ4 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”Ģ5 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. He promises that God will ‘keep his eye on’ you (v.8, MSG) and ‘protect you, and… guard you’ (vv.8,11).Ģ2 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. Because of God’s character he ‘gives wisdom’ and ‘understanding’ (v.6), ‘victory’ (v.7), protection (v.8) and ‘discretion’ (v.11). You will ‘find the knowledge of God’ (v.5). Set aside a regular time to read the Bible and schedule it as a top priority. Don’t just prioritise your schedule schedule your priorities. ‘Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold, like an adventurer on a treasure hunt’ (v.4, MSG). You need to ‘accept’ (v.1), listen and apply (v.2), ‘call out’ (v.3) and ‘search’ (v.4). The writer of Proverbs urges, ‘ store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding… For wisdom will enter your heart’ (vv.1–2,10).

What bothers me a bit is the irreproducibility. I am feeling i am THIS close to a fully satisfactory solution. Since the firestick is in use, UMS has recognized to new renderers which are running under nf and, respectively. Measurement directly next to the TV with my cell phone yielded WiFi bandwidths ~50-70 Mbit. The TV runs on IEE 802.11a/B/G and N, but sofar has never been a problem (and currently the Firestick is serving as the WLAN receiver, anyway, which is brand new). I have fairly new hardware (Ryzen 7 2700X) and a Fritzbox 6490 is running WiFi on IEEE 802.11ac, n, g, b, a. I tested this several times (recognize the stuttering, switch to the Samsung internal app, and play the same file). I should have mentioned that the stuttering only occurs with Firestick, i can play the files with the AllShare App on the TV itself just fine. Usually that isn't a problem on a home network, but older WiFi standards (pre ac) are known to be insufficient in some situations (depending on the content). UMS has to stick to something that the average computer can manage in real-time, which means much more bandwidth use. The streaming services have already encoded the videos in advance and just serves them, so they can afford to use much stronger compression. UMS requires much higher network bandwidth than the streaming services, because it has to transcode in real time. Anything less than 802.11ac could be problematic. It also depends on your router of course. I assume the Firestick use WiFi, but I don't really know what WiFi standard it supports. The crucial issue here, as I see it, is figuring out the stuttering. Don't do all kind of different things in one log though, it's just confusing. A log would reveal all these things, if you made a log while playing a file with one of these issues. I'm pretty sure that the subtitles issue is caused by the renderer configuration is use. There's really no reason why these shouldn't be able to do it just fine as long as UMS is configured correctly, unless they are bugged in someway of course - but that seems unlikely for three different applications. My guess is that there's no good renderer configuration for any of these "apps" in UMS, so things are running under "less than ideal conditions". I would have to know more about your setup to guess what is the most probable. The stuttering issue might be due to limited network bandwidth, or it might be because your PC isn't powerful enough to transcode the file in question. It shouldn't really matter what "app" you're running as long as it supports UPnP AV/DLNA. I can upload logs if you are willing to check why Firestick apps sometimes ignore subtitles. Turned out that my old Samsung via its Allshare App itself plays UMS content more reliably than the Firestick can.ĭo you have any advice, in terms of apps i can test or settings i can change in UMS? So far, my results have been far from spectacular. Vimu also has a horrible way to navigate through your files. Does not always find external subtitles, most often only after the hosting PC (not UMS!) is restarted, for unknown reasons. stutters randomly, but less severe than Airscreen. I tried several solutions to play UMS-hosted content via DLNA on said firestick:Īirscreen -> does find UMS. Recently, i bought a Amazon FireStick to replace the vastly outdated smart hub of my samsung E-series (alt TV). I am running UMS 9.0.1 (due to some recent subtitle problems on my Samsung MU, i downgraded UMS) on a Win10 64 Bit System. |
