Finally its here and the reason for me jumping on this unit in particular was it was the machine I spent countless hours on as a teenager and when i was a hardcore gamer which faded over the years rather quickly. However as time went on I did continue to but the latest consoles even up until last yeat but spent some time on them over the weekends but nothing compared to how long I played the Super Nintendo and previous consoles.
UNBOXING THE SUPER NINTENDO CLASSIC MINI
So this was more a nostalgic pick up for me rather than having the pure gamer attachment but I will spend some hours on this and go have a shot of clearing those games from beginning to end.
Games preinstalled are..
Contra III: The Alien Wars, Donkey Kong Country, EarthBound,Final Fantasy III ,F-ZERO,Kirby™ Super Star,Kirby’s Dream Course, The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Mega Man X,Secret of Mana, Star Fox ,Star Fox 2 Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting Super Castlevania IV Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts Super Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars,Super Mario World Super Metroid, Super Punch-Out, Yoshi’s Island.
If you are picking one up or thinking of it still steer clear of them price gouging bastards at CEX and try relevant stores like Smyths Toys ,Gamestop and Argos and also steer clear of any Advertising ads looking for unrealistic amounts of cash, I just dont buy that supply vs demand bollox. Any questions you may have feel free to ask.

The first impression of the Immacuclean Pressure washer was the size of the washer. This is smaller than expected but provided a powerful pressure of 105 bar pressure. This has the power to clean hard to remove dirt and grim from a variety of areas.
Accessories include: Angled Nozzle – Directs the jet into hard to reach places like car wheel arches, roofs and guttering
Turbo Nozzle – The ultimate high-pressure blast, perfect for hard surfaces like stone
Soap Bottle Attachment – Spray surfaces with soap as well as water to make snow foam; ideal for windows and vehicles
Adjustable Nozzle – Choose a spray setting to suit the job, from fan spray to narrow jet
Brush attachment – For extra cleaning power you can scrub surfaces as you jet wash
Twisting the nozzles will adjust the water pressure of the nozzle. Changing the attachment from one to another takes seconds in unclip and fitting the new one.

UNBOXING
Caution:
If using the Pressure washer to clean your car use with caution / use only the brush as the power can remove the paint or damage vehicle tyres and valves if used incorrectly.
The Brand:
Andrew James may / may not be a brand that jumps to mind but Andrew James does a variety of product ranges, (a few examples)
Kitchen, (Andrew James Argentum Kettle and Toaster Set0
Looking on eBay, feedback was 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Product ratings. I would tend to agree with this rating, with my only gripes, the connected from the standard garden hose could be better in securing to the hose pipe from your water supply. Also, I would have liked to see an extra extension lead via the handle to give the unit a longer reach (there is an extra-long 6m hose and 5m power cable.) This unit is very noisy when in use(these are minor gripes and should not put you off this product.) The Twist accessor head to change power is great for a variety of easy quick adjustments. The smaller size of the Pressure washer allows easy storage in the garage or shed.
Value for money.
If you wash the car at home 4 times a year for 2 years instead of 10 euro per Garage car wash, you will have paid for the Pressure washer. In terms of manually washing a desking / patio with a yard brush, there is no comparison in terms of the effort required. It’s a no brainer to acquire a Power washer to do this work as there is minimal effort with the power washer. If you have to clean a Patio / Decking / car etc, save the hard work and use a pressure washer.
With Artificial Intelligence (AI) becoming a reality, what’s to stop machines from growing smart enough to wipe us all out? With film and TV dramatizations such as Terminator, The Matrix and Westworld taking centre stage in popular culture, it’s important to think if what they depict is actually a possibility.
According to Sophos Data Scientists Madeline Schiappa and Ethan Rudd, an AI takeover is very unlikely. In fact, they warn against the irrational panic and suggest looking into just how much machines are achieving compared to human-level intelligence.
Some giants of the tech and science community — Elon Musk and Steven Hawking among them have publicly worried that artificial intelligence (AI) could someday be the end of mankind. Amongst other things, Musk has suggested that governments should start regulating algorithms to thwart a hostile AI takeover.

Knowledge Transfer Ireland (KTI), has announced details of a new interactive “Find R&D Funding” tool, which will provide organisations with a mechanism to help them source funding and supports for research and development activity in Ireland. The easy to use resource was launched at KTI’s Knowledge Transfer Summit which brought together over 300 entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, universities, Institutes of Technology and publicly-funded research organisations (RPOs).
KTI helps business to benefit from access to Irish expertise and technology by making it simple to connect and engage with this research base in Ireland, thusprogressing innovation, the commercialisation of research, job creation and economic prosperity. The Find Funding resource – now freely available on the KTI website – provides information on the various sources of funding, incentives and other supports available for organisations interested in engaging in R&D.
Minister Halligan said, “The Government is committed to cultivating a system and infrastructure in this country where research and innovation can excel. The number and range of supports on offer by the Irish state to support enterprise innovation directly and indirectly are critical to driving increased levels of innovation in Ireland. By contributing to increased academic-industry collaboration and enhanced in-firm capabilities these supports help deliver on the ambition contained in Innovation 2020 – the Government’s strategy for research and development, science and technology. KTI’s new interactive tool can help make it easier to find the most appropriate supports for your organisation. I strongly encourage organisations to avail of this marvellous and one-off resource when thinking about embarking on their next research project.”

Ireland now ranks tenth in the world in the Global Innovation Index 2017 and has been cited as the most R&D effective country in the EU, achieving maximum innovation output per euro of public funding.
Commenting on the sector Dr Alison Campbell, Director of KTI, said, “The knowledge transfer sector in Ireland is maturing, driven through active engagement in the processes by companies and entrepreneurs working with the research base. We are seeing an increase in the level of investment – both public and private – in the space. With this in mind, the KTI Knowledge Transfer Summit was timely in bringing discussion to the fore relating to the investment in early stage companies as well as supports that can benefit more general research engagements.”
She continued “To further progress the level of innovation and R&D activity in Ireland it is vital that industry can access the most appropriate sources of funding and support for their research and development projects. Our goal at KTI is to drive awareness regarding the resources available, which is why we are delighted to launch the Knowledge Transfer Ireland “Find Funding” resource. We have received very positive feedback to date from industry on the tools available through our website and we anticipate the new tool will help further drive this.”

Often referred to as the ‘Breath Guru’, Alan Dolan’s groundbreaking work in the area of Conscious Breathing has transformed the lives of many clients, through workshops, 1-1 sessions worldwide and year-round Breathing Space Retreats at his villa in Lanzarote. See more HERE. A diverse list of high profile/celebrity clients, that include Naomie Harris, Paul Sampson & Dustin O’Halloran, are all testament to the life changing potential of Conscious Breathing. Today his app has launched on both the Android and iOS platforms which is a paid app…
With Conscious Breathing you will become aware of the true power of your breath with techniques developed over centuries but forgotten in today’s society. These days we often neglect our bodies’ built-in capabilities. Imagine owning the most high specification TV in existence, keeping it plugged in on standby and then living with it for years and years without ever actually turning it on. The fact is, most of us live in ‘standby mode’ most of the time. The most powerful mechanism is literally right beneath our noses waiting to be explored, yet we rarely give it more than a passing thought.
Breath Guru is the perfect app for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Drones are a thing and over the years the have become popular and with that now we have restrictions to heed to if your drone exceeds limits. This drone is the words smallest and i am quite a newbie to these so my flying skills are not up to scratch but its something I will work on. Drones come in all shapes and sizes and price brackets and these can be pretty expensive too costing thousands which are for the real drone enthusiasts out there but I am way off this range so for new the smaller ones will do fine but I do look forward to moving up with cameras on board to do reviews.
This drone requires none of the above and is tiny which requires two AAA batteries and a proprietory charging cable via USB So it can be charged via wall plug or your PC/LAPTOP. Check out the unboxing below to see what we are dealing with.
The control panel is simple and its not one like that you now see from your mobile phone so this is good and ideal for beginners like myself. The control unit is not complicated its simple, Almost similiar to a game pad for you Playstation or XBOX with less buttons, We have multi axis controlls up,down,left right,back and forth and so on really its easy enough.
I will be honest I am useless with these but getting there and have had more crash landings than take offs and trying to film both was fun so I will leave a real video below to see what it can do and it can do what it says,when i managed to do the flips it was too high and not visible on camera but hey,shit happens. The controls are simple to use and the control panel itself fits nicely in the hand.
The drone itself is well-built but has some weak points and you do get extra blades,all drone to me are weak due to the complex make up no matter the size after about 20 crashed landings I found the weak points on this unit in particular but for the money you spend on this Its not really an issue as its easy to replace and perhaps you are better off testing in a park with lots of grass rather than inside where most surfaces are hard to land on depending if you have carpets,tiles or wooden floors, I have no carpets in-house Its tiles and flooring.. The week points are the corners with the drones axis here..Other than thats its solid.
Features
Channels: 4
Gyro: 6-axis
Flight time: 5-8 minutes
Charging time: 20-30 minutes
Remote control distance: 25 metres
Controller batteries: 2x AAA (not included)
If you want to join the world of drones and move up quicky this unit is a good one to begin with for its price it also charges pretty quick but the charge vs flight time is something that has always annoyed me with drones because it doesnt make it seem worth it charging something longer than you can use it for but thats the way it is unfortunalty…
You can buy this Drone directly from MOBILE FUN and check out the rest of the tech they have because they have lots of it and priced very well too.
