The Power of Habit Summary - Charles Duhigg
In The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize–winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

Self-Hypnosis to be Smoke Free
Find Your Path to Quit Smoking
Numerous ways have been tried to quit smoking. According to a national survey, hypnosis is the most effective one in it, three times more effective than the patch and 15 times more effective than willpower.
Self-Hypnosis to be Smoke Free is built to help you turn your sub-conscious mind to be your ally when fighting urges to smoke. The self-hypnosis session deals directly with the part of your mind that carries out your habitual patterns of behavior including smoking, and make you get further aware of the benefits when giving up smoking. Using this app on a regular basis will lead you to a healthy lifestyle free from smoke.
Let’s first answer an urgent question: "why it’s so hard to quit smoking?"
A smoking addiction can be due to two main reasons, with one being Nicotine dependence and the other a fancy for the smoking process.
Only free from such bondage can we achieve the goal. It seems applicable to reduce smoking amounts day by day so that you can gradually get rid of the dependence on Nicotine, but things always get complicated when it comes to a psychological issue.
Regardless of the harms to health, smoking might have brought so much pleasure that one can hardly forget. Smoking has become a sub-conscious habit that the willing to quit it makes no sense at all. "Why do I have to suffer the unhappy moments caused by a smoke-free plan?" "I quite miss those joyful hours with my tobacco!" These might be the most common obstacles to one’s determination.
But what joy can compensate for loss of health? The worst part is the incredibly high incidence of various cancers caused by smoking, which might be the most regrettable thing in one’s life.
Therefore the first step we take is to change smoking into a conscious behavior, to know exactly why we have to quit it and to make use of the hypnotic therapy.
Now take a firm stand and begin the pleasant self-hypnosis.

A dramatic fantasy RPG about man, magic, and machine!

■Story
One day while returning home from a job in the Royal City, an gifted engineer by the name of Luke comes across a young woman being attacked in the cave near his village. After fending off her attackers, he attempts to pull her from a heap of discarded mechanical parts only to discover she herself is half robot! Somewhat curious about what he has stumbled onto, Luke decides to take her home and fix her up, but little does he realize the chain of events he is about to find himself tangled up in...!
■Customize the Heroine Any Way You Choose!
Unlike other party members, Estelle's parameters do not see substantial growth when she levels up. Instead, she has the ability to utilize items called crystals, souls, and cores to augment and strengthen her parameters with an unprecedented degree of flexibility.
■Battle and Gaia Icons
Dealing continuous attacks with allies generates chains and results in varying bonuses for the party.
Furthermore, as battles progress, Gaia Icons will occasionally appear in the center action bar, and deal out effects according to their type, but beware...
■Weapon Skills and Magic
Weapon skills are learned by equipping a weapon and raising its proficiency to 100%. After doing so, another weapon can be equipped while retaining the mastered skill. However, a weapon's proficiency does not stop at 100%, and can be raised much further to enhance its capabilities.
On the other hand, magic is learned by equipping and leveling up elemental rings. More powerful magic can be learned by doing the same with multiple rings.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bob.delivery.lite
Looks very nice. I would recommend adding maybe a shooting action or different "Boost: options to go faster besides double taping Like:
-Double tap when you get a yellow bubble to go fast
-Double tap when you get a red bubble to get force field around space ship to protect from missles
-Also adding monster (floating monsters) like on doodle jump
Over all looks nice and fun. Keep adding new features and make it stand out and youll have a good audience.
Thank you so much for advice. It's very interesting ideas about new features. :good: Our team appreciates the replies, each at a premium. Since we are newcomers on google play. We will try our best to improve the game.

Hey guys. Developing games is my hobby and i want to share my recent project with you. The game called "Tribes Arena"

I'v been developing this for quite some time by myself and only for fun. I am a big fan of Europa Universalis and such games so i wanted to do something like that, but simple (i could't make it very simple anyway )
So what is this game about? It is a real time strategy where you have to manage you tribe. Choose a place for your village and then collect resources (gold/food/wood/stone). Different building produces different resources, currently there are 15+ of them (boats, jewelry, opium, wool, weapons, coal, iron, etc.). Just try to survive as long as you can. At some point barbarians going to appear on the map and you can fight them or trade.
Click on green questing mark to get random advise, i didn't have enough time to write full English tutorial, so if you don't like this kind of games, this one is probably not for you. Game is complicated and require time to get its mechanic. If 100+ people download this game i will deferentially work on it more and will make new features and add good game help/tutorial. Game is free with no ads.
Few basic tips:
Get enough food. Build harbor/farm.
Watch out for your population
Keep happiness 100%+, keep taxes low
Keep logistic 100%+, build more roads
Get more glory for your king, do quests and trade deals
What you can currently do in this game
- Simple fight mechanic. Build walls, recruit solders, do raids
- Economy. Extract resources from nearby, produce goods from it
- Do randomly generated quests and trade deals o boost your king's glory
- Manage your king. He can die. Now there are 30 perk which your king can get, most of hem have unique effect
- Religion/science. Choose a religion you like when you "faith" grows. High faith = bad science
- 6 different technologies to research
- Manage funding (medicine, army, health) and budget. Taxes. You can also do simple trade
- 3 climate zones with different yield for each recourse and unique conditions
- 2 difficulty levels.
The game is still under development, when i have personal time i am adding new feathers. You comments and good rating would really give me inspiration to keep developing this game, because doing it by myself is often hard and long process. Thank you for your time, and good luck with fighting against barbarians and surviving

It seems really complicated.
If you do not look at the graphics, the game itself is not bad
