The creators of Terraria were going to end support for the game with the release of the Journey’s End update, “The End of the Road”, in May 2020. But following that, in October 2020, they decided to release the final content update Journey’s Actual End. And in September last year, the Beloved Child patch was released with a ton of content and innovations. Andrew Spinks, co-founder of the Re-Logic studio, spoke regarding why this is happening. According to him, twelve years following the release of the game, Terraria is still selling like hot cakes. And the demand for the game is so great that it’s hard for its creators to move on to the long-announced Terraria 2. Re-Logic is currently working on a new patch, version 1.4.5, and it will also add new content to the game, including a crossover with a Dead Cells roguelike. The update is in the final stages of refinement and polishing, and the release date is still unknown. The main innovation of the upcoming patch will be the ability to combine special seeds of the worlds, getting a card with crazy combinations of a variety of effects. Players will be able to experience unique and hidden world-building possibilities and test their skills in them. The developers in the new patch are preparing changes to the character creation screen, the ability to choose his voice and expanding the number of settings. But all the details regarding what else will be included in the last-last 1.4.5 patch will be revealed to us over time.

6% wage decline for 25-54 year olds Morgan Skoff, 19, a sophomore at Northwestern University, is thrilled to be throwing a summer party. And she confirmed: «I felt relieved that I finally got a job, and I am very excited to start working, as she plans to obtain a university degree in business, following I applied for a job in the field of sales in the company «Direct Box», which is a global communication platform in the financial markets.
She said the New York City job application process was stressful, especially because there were a limited number of career-sector jobs available for high school and college students, but she started looking early and was offered the position in late winter. Skoff worked as a waitress in a restaurant in high school, an experience she says she now relies on in her current position.
And although there will be fewer summer jobs for young people this year than in 2022, job-seeking teens still have cause for optimism. Pay for summer jobs has risen, and employers across all sectors seem more willing to train teen employees. “If you’re a teenager and you’re looking for a job right now, you have the best job market since World War II,” said Luke Pardot, an economist at online salary platform Gasto.
Scoff is one of the young women reaping the benefits of a strong job market. She said she would earn regarding $10 higher than the national average hourly wage for teens. That average wage was regarding 14.89 this summer, up 9 percent from a year ago, according to the Gasto report. However, older workers are not so lucky, as newly hired employees, between the ages of 25 and 54, are seeing a 6% decline in wages, compared to last summer.
Despite the growth in wages for teens, their lack of experience means they still earn far less than older workers, and average hourly wages for teens are regarding $27 less than for workers ages 25 to 54 in the same sectors.
Julia Pollack, chief economist at online recruitment platform ZipRecruiter, said the drop in teen job vacancies this summer reflects employers’ more pessimistic attitude in the summer hiring season, as they face a potential economic slowdown amid high inflation.
Both Pollack and Pardo said teen applicants competing for jobs in the personal services sector, which includes sports and recreational camps, restaurants, pools and beaches, might still get the jobs of their choice. “Many Americans still find businesses, restaurants, and hotels understaffed, and as a result, there’s an amazing opportunity for teens in particular,” Pollack said.

It also helps to burn calories (almost) without realizing it. It thus makes it possible to fight once morest weight gain, limits the risks of overweight and obesity as well as associated pathologies such as diabetes and hypertension.
A matter of balance
Cycling works your quads, hamstrings, calves, and hips. It improves strength, balance and coordination. Ideal for preventing the risk of falls and fractures. Cycling is a perfect form of exercise if you suffer from osteoarthritis, as it is a “ported” exercise that puts little stress on the joints.
head and legs
Mental health issues such as depression, stress and anxiety can also be reduced by cycling regularly. This is due to the effects of the exercise itself and the pleasure that outdoor walks can bring. A recent study by health economists at the University ofEast Anglia showed that cycling to work is better for mental health than driving.
Finally, cycling helps reduce air pollution. To do good, while doing good to the planet, in short.
How often to practice?
Cycling can be a great way to achieve the recommended 150 minutes of physical activity per week. Going to work on certain days, taking a few shorter trips during the week or a longer trip at the weekend will help you achieve this easily.
