When you click on this, a new game starts, or if you click on “2 suits” or “4 suits”, a new game starts in that respective mode with the difficulty “easy”. Whichever game mode and difficulty are currently active are highlighted in white, with all other options muted. Normal” is highlighted in white if the difficulty “Normal” has been selected in the “1 suit” game mode.The Spider Solitaire menu is simple so that players can gain a quick and easy overview of the game functions and displays. First, select a difficulty level, and this then leads you to a screen where you can set your desired time limit. If you want to play classic Spider Solitaire with a time limit, you can activate it by clicking on “Time limit on / off”. Once a difficulty is selected, the Spider Solitaire playing field is loaded with the appropriate settings and you can start the game. ![]() For the game modes “1 suit”, “2 suits” and “4 suits”, there are three difficulties to choose from. To do this, click on the stock pile at the top left.īefore starting a game of classic Spider Solitaire, you must select your difficulty level. If you can’t find any way to arrange cards correctly in the vertical rows, you may get more cards. If a column is completely empty, you can start the column with any card or card row. Each vertical row must have at least one card face-up, so in this case, the top card is simply turned face up. This means that this row consists only of face-down cards. If you move a row of cards onto a free card, the column beneath it becomes free. Or you can place a row on 5 ♠: 5 ♠ – 4 ♥ – 3 ♣ – 2 ♦ You can place either 4 ♥, 4 ♦, 4 ♣ or 4 ♠ on it, if there are no other cards blocking them. Individual cards or rows of cards can be placed on higher cards of different suits.įor example: 5 ♠ is free. This means that finished stacks of cards consist of only one suit. The uniform suit in classic Spider Solitaire only plays a role in the arrangement of completed card stacks a deck of cards is not considered correctly ordered if the descending card order is correct but the suit uniformity has not been observed. For example, if you take a 4 ♠ and place it on a 5 ♠, another card is exposed, which you can then place on a higher card. In order to form finished rows of cards of one suit, which can then be put on a discard pile, the cards have to be put into the correct order. This is similar to Freecell here, there are only four discard piles, but there are also four more spaces on which you can temporarily place cards. The cards are arranged in ascending order so that the pile begins with an ace and ends with a king. With regular Solitaire, completed card stacks have to be formed on the discard piles. If a row of cards has been formed in the correct order (King-Queen-Jack-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-Ace), it can be placed on a stack. However, in contrast to Classic Solitaire, completed card rows aren’t formed on the discard pile, but on the playing field in vertical rows. Each pile begins with its respective king, followed by the remaining cards in descending order. When all eight discard piles are filled with all cards of the respective suits (hearts ♥, spades ♠, diamonds ♦ and clubs ♣) and in the correct order, you’ve won Spider Solitaire. Rules of the Game – How can you win classic Spider Solitaire? Above the card rows, there are empty storage spaces – called “stacks” – on which the cards are placed in the correct order. When you click on the stock pile in classic Spider Solitaire, new cards are distributed along the vertical rows. If there are no more possible moves in the vertical rows, you can use the stock pile at the top left. The first four rows each consist of six cards, the remaining six rows each have five cards. Ten rows are formed and, as in the classic Solitaire game, only the top card in each row is turned over. An added difficulty is the number of card suits a game with one suit is still easy to master, whereas a game with four suits can be extremely challenging. The card distribution determines whether the game is easy or almost impossible. In various Windows versions, the preinstalled Spider Solitaire games have significantly contributed to the game’s popularity. ![]() Spider Solitaire got its name from its eight storage fields, based on a spider’s eight legs. ![]()

While this success does mirror the strength seen in other dining segments, there is a key caveat when analyzing QSR leaders - they are less dependent on actual visits. All the brands analyzed have seen significant reductions in their visit gaps compared to 2019 with July marking a high point across the board. Looking at other QSR leaders with an emphasis on those who played key roles in the initial Chicken Wars or have had more recent entries, the strength seems well spread. Popeyes’s success is not happening in a vacuum. However, should Popeyes prove capable of driving growth in August, or even a limited decline, the result will be truly impressive The Wider QSR Surge Visits the week of the launch were up 12.3% compared to the equivalent week in 2019, but this was in line with visit growth seen the week prior, indicating that the period was more responsible for the jumps than the new offering. The expected ‘decline’ will need to be understood within the same frame of reference as the year over year drops from home improvement leaders Home Depot and Lowe’s, where the initial surge was so significant that it created a boost that pushed the brands higher than years prior.Īnd, interesting product launches like the chicken nuggets may not be enough to stem this shift. This is a reality even in spite of significant weekly visits growth compared to 2019 equivalents. The standard set in that month will likely push Popeyes into a visit decline compared to its 2019 equivalent for the first time in 2019 – not because of any weakness for the brand but simply due to the unique heights hit following the chicken sandwich launch. Yet, the biggest test is coming in August - the month in 2019 that marked the initial launch. During the first seven months of 2021, Popeyes averaged 19.9% visit growth compared to the equivalent months in 2019, with July showing a 22.4% increase. ![]() Looking at visits for Popeyes in 2021 compared to 2019 shows a clear and consistent trend of growth - even during months when visits to most QSR leaders were still limited by the pandemic’s effect. So, using the launch of Popeyes’s new chicken nugget offering as an excuse, we dove back into the data from some of the chicken wars’ primary protagonists. The rise experienced by Popeyes was so significant that it catapulted the chain into visit levels that reset the standard for the brand. If the chicken wars of summer 2019 taught us anything, it’s that a healthy chicken sandwich obsession is warranted. ![]() ![]() No submissions giving advice, no links, no youtube videos, hypotheticals, general discussion/DAE/polls, adverts, or spam.

The recent reevaluation of original reports from entomologists and naturalists from the 18th and 19th centuries is of great importance. 1īut this is just part of the tick population story. 1 A americanum is responsible for the transmission of cytauxzoonosis ( Cytauxzoon felis), ehrlichiosis ( Ehrlichia ewingii), tularemia ( Francisella tularensis), and Rocky Mountain spotted fever ( Rickettsia rickettsii). I scapulars is responsible for the transmission of Lyme disease ( B burgdorferi) and granulocytic ehrlichiosis ( Anaplasma phagocytophilum). ![]() 8 This remarkable, almost 100-fold increase in deer populations, along with increase habitat, has led to population increases of A americanum and I scapularis and associated tick-transmitted diseases of dogs and/or cats. It was estimated that populations peaked in 2000 at 38.1 million. Combined with an increase in natural habitat and, by now, the virtual extirpation of natural predators (wolves, bears, and mountain lions) across much of their natural range, deer populations rebounded and then exploded. ![]() 5 Concern for the survival of the species ultimately led to restrictions on deer hunting, and many states initiated restocking efforts. ![]() By the end of the 19th century, only an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 deer remained in North America. 5 As European settlers moved west across eastern North America during the 18th and 19th centuries, deer populations were decimated because of unregulated hunting, deforestation, and loss of natural predators. It is well documented that before the early to mid-19th century, white-tailed deer populations were large and widespread throughout North America. This is critical because white-tailed deer are considered the preferred reproductive host for these tick species. Substantial reforestation over the past century in urban and rural habitats has provided increased areas of suitable habitat for white-tailed deer and for survival and expansion of A americanum and I scapularis. Over the past several decades, numerous factors have contributed to the increased range of A americanum (lone star tick) and I scapularis (black-legged tick), such as an increase in favorable habitat due to reforestation, climate fluctuations, and the remarkable increase in white-tailed deer populations. 4 Although positive antibody results do not necessarily equate to clinical disease, they do indicate just how many dogs have been parasitized by pathogen-infected ticks. 3 The Companion Animal Parasite Council parasite prevalence maps show a 1.6-fold increase (from 268,413 to 434,737) in positive test results for B burgdorferi from 2016 to 2021. Between 20 results from a nationwide survey, approximately 1 million, 1.9 million, and 950,000 dogs attained antibody-positive results for Anaplasma spp, Borrelia burgdorferi, and Ehrlichia spp, respectively. Ticks and the diseases they transmit are an important concern in North America. The story behind these expansions is remarkable. Additionally, a recently introduced tick species ( Haemaphysalis longicornis) has now generated concerns that tick populations and disease transmission might worsen. The population growth of 2 native tick species ( Amblyomma americanum and Ixodes scapularis) is responsible for the majority of these issues. 1-3 The proliferation of diagnostic tests for tick-vectored diseases and the development of topical and systemic acaricides have been unprecedented. Tick-transmitted diseases are emerging in locations where they previously did not exist, and in areas where they did exist, substantial increases in prevalence are occurring. Expansion in tick populations in eastern North America over the past several decades has changed veterinary medicine. ![]() ![]() ![]() Project Loon is a subsidiary of Google owners, Alphabet and originally began testing the idea in 2011.
