The checklist card is hard to find in top condition, while card #1 of Julius Erving is hard to find centered.Īfter increasing the number of subsets over the past several years, there was only one in this set: the All-Stars (cards #126-135). There were 144 cards in all, and the set was evenly distributed over two printing sheets. As a result, Topps printed up less cards in its complete basketball set.

A team name was spelled out vertically to the left, along with graphic circles that gave the illusion of a basketball dropping into a hoop. The 1976-77 Topps Basketball featured player photos that were seemingly larger than life, with very little distraction. The larger size was appealing to collectors and popular with autograph seekers, as well. At 3-1/8" by 5-1/4", the cards are larger than any regular Topps card in any sport. However, instead of using the same size as the tallboys of 1969-71, these cards are even larger. After five years of standard-sized card sets, Topps once again used a large-card format for its 1976-77 Topps Basketball set. ![]()

![]() ![]() You have a tendency to be self-centered and demanding. You have a hard fast no on laziness, and you expect the best from yourself and therefore everyone else around you. Your downfall: you’re critical of yourself and others. All you’ve got to do is focus on what you want, and you can achieve it! You don’t let anything, or anyone, stand in the way of you and your dreams. You can manifest super easily, and you have a strong desire to always be number one at anything you do. You loveee to lead! You’re a hard worker with a spirit for innovation. Next, we take that number and learn what it means according to numerology. ![]() What Each Number Means (on a simplified level) Here’s the last example: your birthday is March 1, 1965Ġ + 3 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 5 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7 Then, add the resulting numbers together to find your life path number:Ġ + 9 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 3 = 40 = 4 + 0 = 4Īnother example: let’s say your birthday is December 12, 2003ġ + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 3 = 11 (this is a master number, so you don’t simplify it down) So, for example, my birthday is September 18, 1993.Ĭontinue adding until you get a one digit number. If the number is double digits, you simply add those two together to make up your final number, unless the double digits are a Master number (read below). It’s the month # + the day + the year added together to create a whole number. Your life path number is the sum of your birthdate. I don’t take it as gospel, and I look at it as more of something fun to discover more about who we are as people. It’s also a really quick and easy way for me to gage how well we might work together and what our communication styles might be like.Īs with anything, a life path number is just another tool I like to use to learn a bit more about myself and others. I’ve found it to be pretty accurate and love using it as an ice-breaker when meeting new people. This number represents aspects of who you are and specific traits you might have based on the month, date, and year you were born. In numerology, the essence of every person is found in their life path number. It’s based on the ancient practice of numerology, which is a belief that numbers have a direct, divine relation to specific life events and happenings. But I thought it would be cool to share with you guys in case you’re like me and all about discovering more about yourself and others! What Is A Life Path Number?Ī life path number is a specific number given to you based on your birthdate. Just like anything, you can take it as seriously as you want or with a grain of salt. It’s something I always ask new friends, or people I work with, to see just how we relate and more about who we are. I felt like reading it hit me like a nail on the head, and I learned more about myself and how I relate to others through learning more about my life path number. When I learned, years ago now, how to determine my life path number and read about it it became one of my favorite “personality tests” as I love how accurate it is. I love anything related to personality traits, discovering more about yourself and others, and pretty much anything woo woo. ![]() ![]() ![]() He provides labor for installation delivery, moving and refelting.

![]() ![]() However, 3 is also known to be quite moody, and if 3 feels misunderstood, may withdraw entirely. ![]() Your work inspires, motivates, and uplifts others, and 3 finds great joy making others smile. ![]() 3 is highly gifted at expression, seamlessly sharing innovative and pioneering concepts through art, writing, and oration. Symbolically, 3 represents the output of two joined forces: It is the essence of creation. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.Ĭommunication is paramount for 3. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. The number 2 is linked to sensitivity, balance, and harmony. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 symbolizes a pioneering spirit, independent nature, and innate leadership capabilities. Just as Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is about action and initiation, 1 is linked to forward motion in Numerology. So, now that you've calculated your Life Path Number and Destiny Number, it's time to find out what these digits really mean. That definitely resonates! Which Numerology numbers are most powerful? So, as a Life Path 8 person, my mission is to cultivate abundance, and I will express this through my Destiny Number 6: nurture, healing, and empathy. Whereas your Life Path reveals your greater purpose, your Destiny Number offers insight as to how you will express your greater goals. ![]() According to his theories, certain letters have specific numerical values, which are as follows:įor example, my full name reveals my Destiny Number: ALIZA ( 1 + 3 + 9 + 8 + 1 = 22, which becomes 2 + 2 = 4) KELLY ( 2 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 7 = 20, which becomes 2 + 0 = 2), resulting in a Destiny Number of 6 (because 4 + 2 = 7). You can also use numerology to derive the root number of names or words - this is where our ancient buddy Pythagoras offers some guidance. Rather than simplify this to a single digit (yielding 4), the number 22 reflects the Master Number - the higher-octane iteration of 4, revealing McCartney's strong "life mission." How do you calculate your Destiny Number in Numerology? When this date is reduced (month = 6, day = 9, year = 7), the sum is 22. Master Numbers suggest a powerful vibrational energy that is associated with learning, achievement, and success, but likely in a more stressful or higher-stakes context.įor instance, Sir Paul McCartney, perhaps England's most famous Gemini, was born on June 18, 1942. These are considered Master Numbers and connote a more intensified version of their root numbers (2 and 4, respectively). It may seem daunting at first, but once you see it all written out this way, it becomes far less intimidating, right? Right! What are Master Numbers in Numerology?Īs mentioned above, the only time you would not reduce the final number is if you attain 11 or 22. If you were born on August 18, 1989, your Life Path Number is 8 (and you and I also share a birthday!). Then, we add the reduced month, date, and year numbers ( 8 + 9 + 9) and arrive at 26. The year, 1989, is reduced to 1 + 9 + 8 + 9. ![]() ![]() ![]() While this would be fine in most cases, the game’s decision to take on a “serious” tone makes its narrative more noticeable - and therefore worthy of criticism - than it would otherwise be if left further in the background. The game opens with the characters awakening in their hotel rooms, happening upon some decaying menace in the hallways, discovering that they’re immune to infection - and then just sort of continues on from there, providing exposition only when absolutely necessary to shunt the player into a new locale. There’s Sam B, a “blunt weapons expert” and N’awlins rapper fading fast from the success of his one chart-topping single Xian Mei, a specialist in sharp weapons who has just found herself exiled from the Hong Kong police force Purna, a similarly-disenfranchised Koori-Australian firearms expert formerly of the Sydney police force and, lastly, Logan, the overwhelmingly unsympathetic former NFL star who advocates drunken street-racing and is good at throwing weapons.ĭespite these overwrought character backstories, Dead Island’s narrative is never good enough to invest any significant interest in. ![]() Fittingly, Dead Island, an action RPG hybrid set on the fictional resort island of Banoi, is much like its setting: full of simple pleasures that appeal to the instinctual senses - but not so much to the mind.Īfter a brief intro cinematic you’re able to choose from one of four characters - essentially “class types” that determine your starting affinities. That kind of trip isn’t likely to furnish much cultural value, but easy access to overindulgence can still make it worthwhile for the right audience. Only people who know what to expect from a resort vacation should ever book one. ![]() ![]() Of course, you can still pedal faster than 25 km/h, but you won’t get any assistance from the main motor. ![]() Once the motor reaches this speed limit, it will stop providing power further. What Speed Are eBikes Limited To?ĮBikes are limited to 25 km/h - or 15.5 mph - to conform to the majority of road rules around the globe. That is just a safety feature - and it’s usually around 1.8 mph. There is typically a minimum speed that will activate the drive motor. I’ve sometimes found myself in the wrong mode, and I couldn’t figure out why my eBike isn’t speeding up. That’s another reason why you should avoid leaving your eBike out in the rain.Īlso, while it might sound obvious, be sure to check if you’re in the proper mode - for example, pedal-assist, throttle-only, or pedal-only. To check the limit switch, though, you might have to remove the whole rear or front brake lever. Activate both brake levers a couple of times to try and free up the switch. In some cases, these switches can get stuck - leading to their failure. Most quality electric bikes feature a switch on the back and front brakes to stop the drive motor. This common eBike battery issue is often wrongly diagnosed. Clean them with a rag, and you should be good to go. More often than not, the feedback magnets - positioned on the pedal crank or the rear wheel hub - for the proximity switch get dirty. There are numerous reasons why your electric bike isn’t speeding up. Pull them apart and ensure the connection is tight. Water can find its way into these connections, too. Sometimes, the dirt roads can dislodge the cable connections this is often the case with mountain electric bikes. An extremely low battery power level can lead to your electric bike not turning on, by the way.Īnother thing to check here is that the electrical cables are correctly connected. Again, it depends on the e-bike model you have.īe sure to check that your battery pack has at least two bars of power. Some speed controllers are turned on by pressing the “M” button. Hold the bike's “On” button for about 10 seconds to force the speed controller to turn on. These speed controllers could malfunction if damaged - either by dropping your bike or allowing water to get into them. The speed controller is the component that sends signals to turn on the battery pack. If the fuse is in good condition and the battery pack is fully charged, check if the speed controller is in good condition, as well. This fuse is usually located on the side and could blow up because of short circuits, vibrations, over-current, or old age. Next, check the fuse for the battery pack. If your e-bike isn’t turning on, be sure to check if the main switch is in the “On” position. Some will use a 0-100% range, while others have a series of LED lights, depending on the model. You’ll also have an indicator of the battery’s current level on the battery pack itself or the speed controller. In the short term, this won’t hurt - but after a while, the battery’s capacity will go down. Lithium-ion batteries don’t prefer being left on the charger. Remember not to leave the battery pack on the charger longer than 24 hours, though. However, in some chargers, the LED light will turn off completely when the battery is charged.Įither way, the point remains the same - you’ll have a way to track the progress while charging the battery. It’ll go from red to green when the battery is fully charged in most cases. Your battery charger will probably feature a LED light indicator that changes states depending on the bike’s battery level. How Do I Know If My Bike’s Battery Is Charged? However, if it doesn’t hold the charge, your lithium-ion cell is faulty. If it holds a charge, the issue will be your electric bike - most likely a short circuit in the bike's wiring or the motor. Once it’s fully charged, test the battery by leaving it off the bike. Remove the battery pack from your eBike and charge it up on a bench. Here’s a quick test that can detect the problem: If you notice that you’re charging your battery, but it still discharges quickly without being used, you might have a short circuit somewhere or a faulty battery at your hands. If your eBike hasn’t been charged for a more extended period, it would be a good idea to give it a top-up - and see how it goes. However, like any other type of battery, they will slowly discharge over time. Lithium-ion batteries are good at holding a charge. ![]() Scorpion and HyperScorpion Express Review. ![]() |
