Encouraging Physical Activity in Children Keep play lighthearted for young children Getty Images For most parents the ultimate goal is to raise healthy smart successful and happy children Anyone who has kids can attest to the fact that its a wild ride with some twists and turns that arent always visible up ahead Theres no manual no green light that will spin and flash when you make the right call and parenting in general requires a lot of gutchecks and crossedfingers as you navigate through the childrearing years As if the task at hand wasnt tough enough already these days were also taking on the rising challenge of childhood obesity hich sadly has come to affect 1 Though its a fact that genetics can play a role in body weight and proportion as well as metabolism which is naturally slower in some children there are two significant and modifiable obesity risk factors that parents can influence in their children diet and physical activity These are two things we have total control over See 13 Fun Sports That Burn Calories Our children look to us as examples for how to live and they develop their lifelong habits by modeling our behaviors so its crucial to teach them the importance of a healthy diet and regular physical activity from a young age Doing so will contribute to a healthy weight strong muscles and bones decreased risk of obesity and Type 2 diabetes better sleep and an overall happier and more confident mindset about life Heres an added bonus Kids who are physically active are also more likely to be motivated and focused in school Here are five tips to encourage physical activity in your children 1 Keep play lighthearted for littles When young children are playing in an organized sport or activity try not to get too wrapped up in the details or rules of the sport Letting kids play as they go is often more enjoyable for them than having to abide by strict rules and sometimes dictating instructions is a surefire way to make a kid want to quit Kids especially the youngest among us simply dont want to do things that arent fun After all the primary definition of the word play according to the MerriamWebster dictionary is engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a healthy exercise benefits they genuinely need so allow them to have some fun at play without too many parameters except those that are designed for their safety and the safety of other children around them 2 Choose activities that are age and skilllevel appropriate The key to keeping your kids and their friends engaged in exercise is to allow them to select the activity that best suits them If an activity is too old or too young for your child they may get bored and lose interest or get frustrated if they find themselves unable to do it as well as they want For parents the challenge is to help their kids find physical activities they enjoy and feel successful doing When you see the match with an activity thats right for your child interest and commitment often follow Unsure of the choices out See What to Do or Say If Your Daughter Thinks Shes Fat 3 Make fitness a family affair This means just that Join in on exercise time with your children Instead of going to the movies for your next family outing opt for a hike or a bike ride instead Plan a set time to be active as a family like a walk around the neighborhood after dinner or a tennis match every Saturday morning so it just becomes part of lifes routine and feels less like exercise and more like family fun 4 Monitor and moderate the screen time If kids arent sitting in front of the TV tablet or smartphone they have no other choice than to go do something With no limits on screen time most kids will choose just to lay back relax and bingewatch their favorite shows or play video games all day These activities can quickly become the habits you dont want to establish in your family and are much harder to break once they set in Setting time limits on technology every day forces everyone in the family to choose something else to do and may even land them outside doing something active or inside doing something creative and imaginative And sorry parents it can be near impossible to remove your child from the TV while youre still watching it so turning it off entirely or putting the tablets and smartphones away while youre with your kids is an example that starts with you 5 Be their biggest cheerleader Encourage your children to participate in sports join a team or even practice another activity at home Often positive encouragement from parents is the confidence boost kids need to sign up or start something new As their skills improve let them know that you notice and compliment them on their progress And if your child wants to try something he or she has never tried before champion the effort Trying new things isnt easy and commending kids who want to do things that arent easy is essential Never underestimate the power of some extra motivation See 10 Fun Fresh Ways to Work Out Together as a Family Whatever their age or fitness level every child can be physically fit Keep a positive attitude and support your kids interest to manifest

Lowering LDL Cholesterol Overview Do you know your cholesterol numbers They are too high for more than half of all American adults The culprit is LDL cholesterollowdensity lipoproteins the bad kindin their blood Manufactured by the liver cholesterol is a critical building block of cell walls hormones and digestive juices But overly high LDLs are a major cardiovascular risk Along with liquified fat dead cells and other cellular trash they can form deposits within the walls of the coronary arteries as these deposits or plaques grow they may bulge into the artery interfering with blood flow If one ruptures and a clot forms a Find a Top Cardiologist Reducing the risk from high LDLs can be accomplished in either of two ways by lowering the amount of LDLs produced by the body or by increasing the rate at which LDLs are sent back to the liver to be destroyed Statins and other drugs can reduce LDL production by as much as 70 percent Dietary changes usually produce lessdramatic effects but are important especially cutting back on foods high in saturated fats which promote LDL formation Limiting highcholesterol foods like egg yolks and liver helps but isnt likely to make a big dent Speeding up the rate of getting This section has more information on Lowering LDL Cholesterol Without Drugs 10 Ways to Lower LDL and Raise HDL Lowering LDL Without Drugs Joseph Keenan a cardiology researcher and professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota has a lovehate relationship with statins On the one hand he prescribes them to many patients On the other he cant use them to control his own dangerously high cholesterol Like many of the 25 percent or so of patients prescribed statins who abandon them within six months Keenan has had unpleasant side effects such as muscle spasms and blood tests indicate muscle damage It came as a shock he says of finding out hed have to do without his Lipitor What recourse do people like Keenan have Some doctors such as Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic are so convinced of statins lifesaving power that they first require patients to try all six before considering them intolerant Next patients might try a nonstatin drug such as Zetia which lowers cholesterol by inhibiting its absorption in the intestine But there are other weapons besides drugs in the cholesterol wars For those intolerant of statinsand for people taking them as wellthe following strategies can help defeat unhealthy cholesterol Diet The foundation of any cholesterollowering regimen is a balanced diet That doesnt mean you have to buy only products whose labels scream low cholesterol In fact says Christopher Gardner a researcher at Stanford University who specializes in nutrition a varied diet that emphasizes plants fish legumes whole grains and fruits is significantly better at lowering problematic cholesterol than a more conventional diet of prepared foods equally low in saturated fats and cholesterol Why Components of plantbased diets actively interact to improve cholesterol profiles he suggests That said youll still want to limit your intake of red meat eggs and cheese The socalled Mediterranean diet the dash Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet and the Ornish Diet which is particularly low in meat and dairy are variations on this approach One study found that a balanced diet did just as well as a statin at reducing bad cholesterol Dean Ornish the founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito Calif has shown that his multipronged approach diet exercise stress reduction and social support while not easy to maintain can lower LDL by nearly 40 percent and even cause plaques in arteries to shrinkwhich not even statins have been proven to do Exercise Regular exercise is also critical Some studies show that regular aerobic exercise for a period of about 12 weeks can modestly increase beneficial HDL cholesterolbetween 5 and 10 percent and more for some people Your triglyceride level and blood pressure should respond too Shoot for at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise five to seven days a week Supplements Natural food stores and the Internet are awash with products claiming to improve cholesterol profiles For most there is little or no evidence of an effect on cholesterol levels though some Omega3 fatty acids for examplehave not been studied rigorously enough to say definitely that they dont work Notable exceptions worth exploring include niacin plant sterols and soluble fiber supplements Though niacin can raise blood sugar and cause flushing a daily dose can raise HDL levels by 15 to 35 percent and lower LDL levels by about 20 percent Niacin has a risk of side effects however especially when combined with a statin A daily serving of plant sterols about 2 grams in fortified foods such as margarine orange juice and rice milk can also lower LDL by about 15 percent Eating plenty of soluble fiber which occurs naturally in products such as oats nuts flax and psyllium Lifestyle interventions often dont work nearly as well as a statin can Exercise a better diet and supplements can generally reduce bad cholesterol by 20 to 40 percent compared with 60 to 70 percent for statins But Keenan estimates that 70 percent of people with problematic cholesterol levels could gain control with lifestyle changes alone He has His LDL levels are down by about 60 percent thanks to diet exercise niacin and other supplements Thats as good a job he says as Lipitor did By Adam Voiland 262008 10 Ways to Lower LDL and Raise HDL Your doctor tells you that your level of LDLthe bad type of cholesterolis too high and in a double whammy he says that your level of HDLthe good cholesterolis too low So you wonder is there anything you can do to decrease the bad while increasing the good There are steps you can take to accomplish this Its much easier to push LDL down than to push HDL up but its well worth the effort to strive to do both A November study published in the Postgraduate Medical Journal found that increasing HDL levels in patients who are also aggressively lowering their LDL levels can reduce cardiovascular risk An HDL level of 60 milligrams per deciliter or higher is believed to help protect against heart disease Womens risk for heart disease rises significantly at HDL levels below 47 mgdL men are at particular risk if their HDL level falls below 37 mgdL For LDL a reading of 190 mgdL or higher is considered to be very high 160 to 189 is considered to be high and 130 to 159 is considered to be borderline high A level of 100 to 129 is considered to be near optimal less than 100 is considered optimal for most people But for those who are at very high risk for heart disease or have a history of heart trouble a reading of less than 70 is preferred Depending on your cholesterol levels successfully reaching your target levels will probably take a combination of medication and lifestyle and dietary changes Among the changes youll have to make Stop smoking work out lose weight and eat well the PMJ study suggests If youre up to the task here are 10 ways to lower your LDL and raise your HDL 1 Taking a statin can lower LDL by 10 percent at the lowest dose to 55 percent at the highest dose says Robert H Eckel professor of medicine at the University of ColoradoDenver and past president of the American Heart Association A small percentage of people who take statins experience severe myopathy which is muscle discomfort or weakness Statins also bump up HDL typically by 5 to 10 percent thats only 2 to 4 mgdL not enough to make much of a difference Other types of cholesterollowering medications are sometimes prescribed in combination with statins 2 A cholesterol absorption inhibitor would be a likely next step for those who cant take statins because of side effects Eckel says There is only one such drugezetimibe Zetia A 2003 study in the journal Pharmacotherapy found that when given alone or in combination with other cholesterollowering medications ezetimibe reduced LDL by 15 to 20 percent and raised HDL but as with a statin not by much25 to 5 percent 3 Bile acid sequestrants can decrease LDL by about 10 to 20 percent according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute When combined with a statin these medications can lower LDL by more than 40 percent Medications in this classcholestyramine colestipol and colesevelamcome in pill or powder form The powder must be mixed with water or juice before being taken These drugs offer an added benefit for diabetics Recent research has shown they help to lower blood glucose levels 4 Nicotinic acid also known as niacin is a watersoluble B vitamin that lowers LDL by 10 to 20 percent and is the only drug that can have a real impact on HDL says Eckel According to the NHLBI it can lift HDL levels by 15 to 35 percent A study published this month in Current Medical Research and Opinion says that niacin and fibrates explained below are underutilizedeither alone or in combination with statinsto treat low HDL and high triglycerides a kind of fat in the blood Because most people who take niacin experience flushing of the skin and a warm feeling particularly on the face neck and ears up to half of those taking the medication choose to stop it according to the Mayo Clinic 5 Fibrates are mostly effective at lowering triglycerides and in heightening HDL levels according to NHLBI These drugs usually lower LDL by 10 to 20 percent Eckel says For those who take this type of medication HDL increases are usually in the neighborhood of a modest 10 to 15 percent 6 Lose weight This can lower LDL though levels will go back up unless you make lasting dietary changes Eckel says Aim to lose 10 percent or more of your body weight Keep in mind that while youre losing weight your HDL levels may fall Eckel warns But as you maintain your new body weight your HDL will increase as long as youve lost at least 10 percent of your body weight Try US News s 10week workout routine to help you get started and avoid these 7 mistaken beliefs that can prevent weight loss Exercise itself can raise HDL although usually not by a meaningful amount For sedentary people with low HDL cholesterol and heart disease even a little bit of exercise can raise itbut not by a lot Eckel says For the average Susan or Joe moderate aerobic activity needs to be accompanied by a change in body compositionless fatto increase HDL There are a few caveats Women who have abnormal menstrual periods have minimal increases in HDL and too much resistance training may actually lower HDL cholesterol if not accompanied by some aerobic training 7 Limit saturated fats Eating saturated fats which are the main dietlinked cause of high cholesteroltends to raise your HDL but it also increases your LDL These fats are mostly found in animal foods such as beef lamb poultry pork butter cream and milk and in coconut and coconut oil palm and palm kernel oil and cocoa butter We think the bad cholesterol is more of a concern than the good cholesterol says Eckel so its important to limit consumption of saturated fats The American Heart Association recommends limiting saturated fat intake to less than 7 percent of your total daily calories A reduction in saturated fats 8 Avoid trans fats which have been purged from many prepared foods but are found in small quantities in some animal products They also are formed during the hydrogenation process of making margarine shortening and cooking oils Trans fats can increase LDL and decrease HDL Vegetable oils that are partially hydrogenated are the source of about 75 percent of trans fatty acids in the American diet according to the AHA Its easier now to find foods that contain little to no trans fats as more attention is paid to how trans fats affect peoples health Many restaurants are making an effort and New York City and California have banned trans fats As a rule try to limit your intake of trans fats to less than 1 percent of your total calories on any given day the AHA suggests Read the nutrition facts label when you buy food to keep an eye on how much trans fat youre consuming Look at the ingredients and if ingredients say hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated there are trans fats in there says Barry Franklin director of cardiac rehabilitation at the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak Mich 9 Have an occasional drink Drinking alcohol increases HDL levels slightly but doesnt decrease LDL according to NHLBI Because drinking too much alcohol can result in alcoholism damage to the liver and the heart muscles high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels among other problems its important to limit consumption Men and women who consume alcohol should do so in moderation which means one to two drinks daily for men and one drink for women the AHA suggests 10 Quit smoking There are plenty of reasons to stop but one thats not widely known is that smoking has been shown to decrease HDL levels Smoking also makes it harder to work out which means it is less likely youll reach healthful cholesterol goals And thats not all Consider these other reasons why you should stop smoking right now By

the

meta

in

itself

becomes

part

of

the

meta

thus

enabling

others

to

home

in

on

how

to

thwart

those

very

efforts

To

a

significant

degree

the

meta

is

selfcreating

and

selfdefeating

Popularity

of

a

certain

deck

often

leads

to

an

upswing

in

the

popularity

of

another

deck

which

effectively

counters

that

deck

this

may

result

in

the

popularity

of

the

original

deck

declining

and

thus

the

counter

deck

in

turn

becoming

unsuccessful

in

the

resulting

meta

or

the

popularity

of

the

counter

deck

may

itself

inspire

players

to

use

decks

that

work

well

to

counter

that

deck

leading

to

the

rise

of

yet

another

counterdeck

and

so

on

However

while

individual

decks

can

influence

the

meta

strongly

the

variety

of

decks

seen

usually

results

in

more

complex

shifts

with

a

range

of

counters

and

checks

in

place

Overall

the

meta

functions

much

like

a

bacterial

culture

the

population

shifts

constantly

responding

to

any

changes

in

its

environment

engaged

in

an

ongoing

power

struggle

between

its

various

counterbalanced

elements

The

meta

shifts

most

strongly

in

response

to

the

release

of

new

content

due

to

the

variety

of

new

decks

and

strategies

made

possible

Over

time

changes

slowly

become

smaller

and

less

frequent

as

deck

innovations

become

less

common

the

design

and

capabilities

of

the

new

content

more

polished

and

explored

and

the

strengths

of

each

archetype

against

the

others

better

established

Toward

the

end

of

an

expansion

or

adventures

initial

reign

the

meta

often

becomes

stale

with

little

change

or

innovation

the

balance

of

power

having

become

well

established

and

the

prevailing

meta

leaving

little

room

for

new

deck

The

largest

changes

to

the

Standard

format

meta

come

at

the

start

of

each

Standard

year

when

any

card

sets

released

in

the

calendar

year

before

last

are

removed

from

the

pool

of

cards

eligible

for

Standard

play

While

new

cards

are

added

multiple

times

a

year

this

is

the

only

time

each

year

that

cards

are

removed

from

the

meta

and

the

combined

effect

has

a

far

larger

impact

Standard

format

is

expected

to

see

larger

and

more

frequent

shifts

than

Wild

format

due

to

the

removal

of

cards

and

the

smaller

pool

of

cards

overall

making

the

addition

of

new

cards

more

significant

This

was

a

specific

goal

for

the

introduction

of

game

formats

with

the

aim

of

creating

a

more

dynamic

and

shifting

meta

A

healthy

meta

For

example

a

class

might

have

a

very

high

win

rate

relative

to

others

Thats

not

balanced

When

that

happens

more

people

tend

to

flock

to

that

class

increasing

the

play

rate

Eventually

that

class

will

become

played

more

than

other

classes

Thats

also

not

balanced

and

its

the

more

worrying

imbalance

Ben

Brode

Designer

Dean

Ayala

explains

that

the

main

thing

the

developers

look

at

in

terms

of

a

healthy

meta

is

diversity

and

the

variety

of

decks

seen

in

the

populations

at

the

different

ranks

and

in

the

different

game

modes

While

successful

decks

are

often

considered

to

have

excessively

high

win

rates

in

practice

this

tends

be

problematic

primarily

because

of

a

tendency

for

the

decks

reputation

to

increase

population

size

for

that

deck

players

hear

of

the

decks

power

and

rush

to

jump

on

that

train

and

play

the

deck

In

theory

players

can

respond

to

this

by

choosing

a

deck

that

boasts

a

high

win

rate

when

matched

against

the

new

popular

deck

thus

gaining

a

higher

win

rate

than

those

playing

the

supposedly

powerful

deck

but

in

practice

this

is

limited

by

several

facts

such

decks

may

be

few

or

hard

to

discover

they

may

be

hard

to

play

or

the

current

selection

of

cards

simply

may

not

include

enough

of

the

right

options

to

provide

a

strong

counter

High

population

size

is

a

problem

because

the

deck

is

seen

in

too

large

a

percentage

of

matches

resulting

in

player

frustration

and

boredom

In

contrast

despite

being

highly

effective

decks

with

high

win

rates

but

low

population

sizes

never

threaten

the

balance

of

the

meta

or

the

fun

of

players

consequently

tending

not

to

become

the

subject

of

complaints

The

impression

of

excessive

population

size

can

also

result

from

several

separate

but

similar

decks

often

revolving

around

a

single

key

card

or

even

roughly

similar

decks

of

the

same

class

all

being

popular

at

the

same

time

producing

a

According

to

Ben

Brode

the

worst

point

of

imbalance

in

the

games

history

as

of

January

was

Undertaker

Hunter

where

Hunter

was

played

by

of

all

players

across

all

ranks

Individual

cards

or

combinations

are

more

commonly

ubiquitous

in

January

a

prenerf

SmallTime

Buccaneer

and

Patches

the

Pirate

were

seen

in

of

all

decks

Balancing

Q

If

the

wolf

population

is

keeping

the

rabbit

population

in

check

and

you

weaken

wolves

that

will

probably

increase

the

frequency

of

rabbits

This

isnt

too

far

off

The

hard

part

is

determining

how

many

rabbiteatinganimal

decks

will

appear

as

a

result

of

the

increase

of

frequency

and

if

the

introduction

of

saidanimalrabbiteater

introduces

weve

never

heard

of

Dean

Ayala

Ayala

explains

the

teams

approach

to

maintaining

a

healthy

meta

We

look

at

a

ton

of

different

metrics

A

lot

of

it

is

feel

We

play

everyone

on

the

team

plays

a

ton

of

Hearthstone

were

playing

hundreds

and

hundreds

of

games

a

month

basically

everybody

So

getting

a

good

gauge

for

whats

going

on

from

the

community

what

we

feel

personally

what

we

feel

when

were

talking

to

each

other

We

use

a

ton

of

metrics

as

well

In

the

history

of

Hearthstone

there

have

been

very

very

few

decks

that

have

ever

eclipsed

a

win

rate

that

I

would

consider

dangerous

something

over

even

Thats

happened

very

very

rarely

But

what

does

happen

sometimes

is

the

population

index

increases

to

and

thats

really

counter

to

a

lot

of

our

goals

A

lot

of

times

were

looking

at

populations

at

different

ranks

like

we

have

the

ability

to

look

at

whats

going

at

Legend

whats

going

at

ranks

whats

going

on

at

rank

when

I

queue

into

those

experiences

am

I

experiencing

something

different

When

things

are

getting

to

too

high

of

a

population

I

think

that

thats

when

consider

that

like

hmm

theres

something

wrong

here

maybe

we

could

step

in

I

think

population

size

of

a

given

deck

is

really

the

biggest

thing

we

look

at

in

terms

of

healthy

meta

are

there

a

lot

of

decks

being

played

does

it

feel

different

when

Im

playing

games

Ayala

also

states

that

population

size

is

not

in

itself

a

problem

unless

it

becomes

a

longterm

situation

new

decks

frequently

trend

for

a

short

period

of

time

before

quickly

falling

in

popularity

or

being

predated

by

a

strong

counter

deck

Brode

explains

the

developers

also

take

into

account

deck

win

rates

and

the

circular

nature

of

the

meta

when

considering

changing

cards

When

evaluating

balance

we

look

at

the

win

rate

of

decks

and

classes

compare

them

to

the

impossible

ideal

and

to

the

worst

case

Knowing

that

is

impossible

we

just

want

it

to

be

close

This

isnt

a

science

but

for

us

that

has

traditionally

been

between

and

This

isnt

the

most

important

metric

though

If

a

deck

has

a

win

rate

but

only

a

handful

of

players

are

playing

it

thats

great

It

doesnt

cause

the

issues

of

nonvariant

gameplay

yet

Traditionally

when

a

deck

has

a

very

high

win

rate

people

begin

When

a

deck

loses

to

specific

cards

or

other

decks

players

can

be

rewarded

for

playing

those

counters

as

that

deck

rises

in

popularity

If

a

deck

ever

became

of

the

meta

but

there

was

a

deck

that

handily

beat

it

then

you

could

have

a

win

rate

by

playing

that

deck

and

it

would

become

the

new

best

deck

in

the

meta

This

phenomenon

causes

metas

to

change

over

time

Weve

seen

that

so

far

since

the

release

of

Gadgetzan

Pirate

Warrior

hit

peaks

of

but

shrank

to

as

low

as

over

time

There

were

Overall

the

developers

have

consistently

stated

a

desire

for

players

to

use

the

tools

available

to

shape

and

develop

the

meta

themselves

without

outside

intervention

from

the

designers

However

an

unhealthy

meta

is

the

main

reason

the

developers

do

occasionally

make

card

changes

and

nerfs

When

the

meta

is

still

changing

we

dont

like

to

make

changes

to

cards

We

believe

that

its

important

to

let

good

players

recognize

shifts

in

the

meta

and

capitalize

on

their

knowledge

before

the

meta

shifts

and

the

solution

changes

This

is

one

of

biggest

reasons

why

we

dont

nerf

cards

very

frequently

When

metas

stagnate

for

too

long

When

there

are

no

good

counters

When

the

best

decks

arent

fun

to

play

or

lose

to

these

are

all

reasons

we

have

made

balance

adjustments

in

the

past

If

a

deck

is

popular

for

a

few

weeks

that

isnt

Metagaming

The

Meta

is

short

for

the

metagame

The

game

is

what

happens

once

you

tap

Play

and

see

the

spinner

The

metagame

is

what

happens

outside

of

the

game

Ben

Brode

The

Ancient

Greek

word

meta

means

beyondwithin

itself

For

example

metaphilosophy

is

philosophy

about

philosophy

or

the

investigation

of

the

nature

of

philosophy

In

a

similar

fashion

metagame

refers

to

the

investigation

of

the

nature

of

the

game

population

Metagaming

is

any

strategy

action

or

method

used

in

a

game

which

transcends

a

prescribed

ruleset

uses

external

factors

to

affect

the

game

or

goes

beyond

the

supposed

limits

or

environment

set

by

the

game

Another

definition

refers

to

the

game

universe

outside

of

the

game

itself

Metagaming

differs

from

strategy

in

that

metagaming

is

making

decisions

based

upon

out

of

game

knowledge

whereas

strategies

are

decisions

made

based

upon

ingame

actions

and

knowledge

In

simple

terms

it

is

the

use

of

outofgame

information

or

resources

to

affect

ones

ingame

decisions

Example

In

the

last

month

Jack

observed

that

of

his

opponents

on

the

ladder

are

hunters

most

of

which

are

of

the

aggro

variety

Jack

concludes

that

in

order

to

climb

the

ladder

faster

he

should

use

a

deck

that

has

a

favorable

hunter

matchup

In

this

example

the

metagame

behavior

of

player

population

as

a

whole

is

that

Face

Hunters

are

very

popular

This

knowledge

is

an

external

fact

that

exists

outside

of

the

game

rules

of

Hearthstone

By

using

this

knowledge

Jack

can

improve

his

win

rate

by

using

a

deck

that

beats

Face

Hunters

since

he

is

statistically

more

likely

to

queue

into

them

on

the

ladder

more

than

any

other

deck

the

use

of

this

strategy

is

called

metagaming

Jack

is

gaming

the

game

Since

metagaming

in

itself

will

affect

the

metagame

over

time

Face

Hunters

will

win

less

often

and

thus

fewer

people

will

play

Face

Hunters

new

flavor

of

the

month

decks

evolve

and

the

metagame

is

said

to

have

changed

In

Hearthstone

the

metagame

is

always

evolving

as

the

popularity

of

various

decks

come

and

go

It

changes

very

quickly

whenever

new

cards

are

introduced

and

slows

down

after

players

have

been

given

sufficient

time

to

refine

their

decks

When

the

metagame

barely

changes

from

week

to

week

the

metagame

is

said

to

have

stabilized

or

grown

stale

Traditionally

in

any

card

game

after

the

metagame

has

stabilized

the

metagame

slowly

evolves

between

the

major

deck

archetypes

of

Aggro

Control

and

Combo

due

to

the

scissors

paper

stone

nature

of

the

deck

archetypes

Metagaming

can

also

be

playerspecific

In

the

Kinguin

Pro

League

Hearthstone

tournament

Brian

Kibler

brought

multiple

decks

that

contained

copies

of

Kezan

Mystic

because

he

observed

that

Firebat

had

played

Secret

heavy

decks

over

the

prior

few

months

in

other

tournaments

However

Kiblers

metagaming

was

thwarted

when

Firebat

played

with

decks

that

contained

no

About remote repositories GitHubs collaborative approach to development depends on publishing commits from your local repository for other people to view fetch and update A remote URL is Gits fancy way of saying the place where your code is stored That URL could be your repository on GitHub or another users fork or even on a completely different server You can only push to two types of URL addresses An HTTPS URL like httpsgithubcomuserrepogit An SSH URL like gitgithubcomuserrepogit Git associates a remote URL with a name and your default remote is usually called origin For information on the differences between these URLs see Which remote URL should I use Creating remotes You can use the git remote add command to match a remote URL with a name For example youd type the following in the command line git remote add origin REMOTE_URL This associates the name origin with the REMOTE_URL You can use the command git remote seturl to change a remotes URL Contact a human Article versions GitHubcom GitHub Enterprise 215 GitHub Enterprise 214 GitHub Enterprise 213

Why am I not receiving Meetup emails Staying connected depends on staying informed There are a few possible reasons our emails may not be reaching you Why am I receiving some emails but not others If youve stopped receiving some but not all emails you might be getting those messages as push notifications rather than emails If a mobile device linked to your Meetup account has push notifications active corresponding emails wont be sent Want to choose which notifications get sent where Check out this article and customize to your liking Did you recently stop using a device Its possible that push notifications might still be activated there If you think that might be the case reach out to us and we will take care of it I am not receiving any emails from Meetup If you no longer are receiving any emails from Meetup its a good idea to check other folders SpamJunk in your email account where the email might have been routed Gmail users should also check their Social tab You can also help make sure Meetup notifications route directly to you by adding infomeetupcom to your address book or contact list If the missing emails cant be found in those folders its possible that emails are being bounced back to us This can happen if the email address we have on file for you is no longer valid or when your email provider rejects messages from us without your knowledge In this situation the next time you log into Meetup a large red box will ask you to confirm if The problem was temporary of if you would like to Change your email address A few other helpful hints Be sure to check the settings of your email provider to see if Meetup emails are being blocked Once youve adjusted your settings choose The problem was temporary to let us know and we will try sending you emails again Dont forget to then add infomeetupcom to your address book or contact list to help prevent this issue from happening again in the future If youve tried all of these steps but still arent receiving our Meetup emails let us know by contacting us below and we will figure it out together Was this article helpful 216 out of 836 found this helpful Have more questions Return to top
