![]() I know a man who is blind to the agony around us, completely obliterated in his vision to understand the needs of anyone except himself. ![]() Isn’t it why, it is all god’s will for the poor? Isn’t it why the rich donate ten times more for a cause in times of despair? Take away power from a man, and he will hardly be courageous enough to point fingers, or put blame on anything that is human. The flawed morality of our condition, that we have to present the best version of ourselves, and not the true version, how much a conflict does this create in our heads?Īre all our flaws supposed to be hidden away, in the wooden chest, locked in a dark place no one is allowed to go to, and despite all our efforts to stay away from that place ourselves, how much in it do we actually succeed? Is inhumanity the very thing inherent to us that makes us human after all? And if it is so, do we need to feel ashamed of this? Or do we just accept it and move on?Ī lot of people cope with this, and I know because I do the same, by pointing fingers at others, calling folly supposedly out of goodwill, always, and I mean always from a position of power. “No way out”: The very reason we set limits to our vicious nature. What I am asking is don’t we all know what cruelty all of us are capable of? And if we know this, what makes us the docile victim on days we lay flat on our beds, often curled in a ball hugging our knees, welling up with disappointment that there is no way out. Someone once said, To err is human, but do we all feel inadequate at times is not the question I am asking, our internal fights with our demons is none of my concern today. ![]() I often wonder if this constant nagging in my soul, telling me of my monstrosity, my own shortcomings, my numerous failures at being what is expected of me is it an indication of my ugliness or the truth of all humanity, all human beings?

![]() Now I only see a handful of incidents in my local area. Before the update, I could scroll through a long list of incidents in the area and see dozens of dots throughout my community. However, recently the app has been updated to basically reduce the amount of local information that’s brought to users. I liked that if I heard sirens I could open up the app to see what was going on. For a free application that was meant to let citizens know of major incidents happening around them for their safety, it sure feels like they have prioritized their own pockets before the users. This app relies heavily on its users as it’s sources, yet turns around and makes you pay for the content they aren’t paying for themselves. Verified alerts are part of the subscription, so you very likely will get false alerts. There’s a number of alerts that come through that aren’t verified. There’s no monitoring comments… beside the “don’t be rude“ warning you get when opening the chat box. The comments most of the time are rude which often range between blaming the homeless or victims in incidences. What’s the point of having a “free app,” if I then have to pay to find out what the incident is? I might as well not have the app! Other problems with the application is the false alerts and unmonitored comments. On the incidents which are free, if you listen or watch any of the videos some stop midway and tell you that you cannot finish the recording unless you upgrade your subscription. Some alerts are free, but many alerts require a paid subscription to even see what the incident is. If you are not paying for this app, you can’t really get access to much of anything. Unfortunately, every single time I open this app now, I’m bombarded with subscription notices. I’ve had this app for a couple of years now, and I really enjoyed it previously. This app is genius and I can see it becoming much more known and widely used in the future! Continued improving will ensure that too. There are all kinds of new features and changes to existing features that could make this app better. could add at the bottom of the incident links to other sources like news articles a section available at the bottom bar where you can set up a list of saved customized addresses/cities/locations that you want to more easily check on I see a lot of people in the comments saying this as well, one small example is parents asking if the “man with a gun” is actually happening and wanting details because it’s near a school that’s about to end for the day and never getting an answer importantly, it’d be helpful and interesting if there were more details and updates given for these situations. customizable notifications, for example option to set a miles scale radius of where you want to be notified, specific types of incidents you do and don’t want notifications for, being able to choose notification alert sounds for different incidents ![]() Personally some ideas and things I notice right away that could be changed: However I think there are still many improvements and changes that can and should be made. I think it’s a genius idea! I can’t imagine that amount of work and details that goes into creating something like this.

This paper focuses on Norse lexical loans that survived during and beyond the period of French rule and became part of this basic vocabulary. Most of the Norse legal and administrative terms attested in Old English were replaced by equivalents from the French superstrate soon after the Norman Conquest, whereas a remarkable number of more basic terms are known to have become part of the very basic vocabulary of modern Standard English. The material has a predominantly ecclesiastical and learned character, and yet it represents a mode of literacy quite distinct from the familiar contemporary manuscript culture The examples which now allow us to define this group are published here, most of them for the first time. The phase is represented particularly by a number of recently found inscriptions on pieces of lead sheet. The present paper identifies a ‘Late Anglo-Saxon’ phase, defined in terms of runographic practice and historical and archaeological context rather than linguistic criteria, although interestingly runic inscriptions of Latin text are prominent in this set. Pre-Old English and Early Old English phases that cover the fifth century AD to the ninth can be defined on linguistic grounds concurrently, quite distinctive forms and uses of text are associated with each of these phases. Three principal historical stages can now be identified. Few of these inscriptions can be disparaged as mere graffiti, and it is in fact clear that there is a significant patterning in the types of text written in runes in successive phases within the more than six centuries of the Anglo-Saxon Period. ![]() The corpus of runic inscriptions from Anglo-Saxon England is growing steadily, and the evidence of several recent finds sheds valuable new light on the range and role of literacy in this culture as well as on early forms of the Old English language and its dialects. Both words offer important evidence for biblical translation practices, and contribute to our knowledge about the Christianisation of Norse speaking peoples and Anglo-Norse language contact in Viking Age England. In the absence of clear-cut linguistic criteria for identifying loan translations between these two closely related languages, this paper draws on a range of literary evidence to argue for a strong likelihood of a relationship between the two compounds. ‘neck-book’) – that have traditionally been considered loan translations from Old English to Old Norse with little evidence other than their formation from cognate elements. Much of this material requires reassessment and this paper provides a case study of two parallel compound formations in both languages – OE bærsynnig /ON bersynðugr (‘one who is openly sinful publican’), and OE healsbōc /ON hálsbók (‘phylactery, amulet’, lit. from Old English to Old Norse, which have not attracted the same amount of attention in current scholarship. However, there are a significant number of words that have been considered borrowings in the “other” direction, i. A recent resurgence of interest in Old Norse linguistic borrowings in Old English has greatly expanded our knowledge of the contact situation between these two speech communities in the early medieval period and beyond. ![]() Some encounters will actually require you to defeat monsters, but can reward you with extra gold that can be used to buy ‘support’ cards that may give you a health or damage bonus. Those cards then act as ‘encounters’ that move you closer towards the ultimate battle with your Rival. And, rather than just staring at your opponent across the table, the two of you are represented on the board by animated figures called Legends.Īt the start of each battle you and your opponent – called your Rival – place your cards on the board at various points. The most obvious difference is that – instead placing your cards on a simple flat table in front of you – Chronicle is played on a 3D ‘board’ that looks a bit like a children’s pop-up storybook. The placement of each card therefore becomes very important, especially as you have to place different types of card in a specific order before getting down to the nitty-gritty of combat. However, Artifact ramps up the complexity by splitting the battle zone into three lanes, each with a tower you have to attack. As with most card games, you face your opponent across a board that represents the battle zone, and then play various cards that represent ‘creeps’ – basic melee fighters – as well as heroes with special abilities, and various magical spells that you can cast yourself (including delights such as ‘viscous nasal goo’ which chips away at an enemy’s health points). We’ll focus on Foundry, as that’s the ‘new’ version, and offers more streamlined gameplay than the rather complicated Classic.Īrtifact Foundry starts with a very simple tutorial that introduces the basic concepts of the game. The developers at Valve quickly started work on Artifact 2.0, but for various reasons decided the game was a bit of a dead end they renamed Artifact 2.0 as Artifact Foundry, while the original Artifact 1.0 became Artifact Classic, and now – if you’ve managed to keep up with that convoluted potted history – both versions are completely free on Steam. Artifact, a card game based on the popular DOTA battler, got mixed reviews when it was first launched back in 2018. ![]() On the Mac app, you’ll need to go to “All Servers” and search for Romania - the NoSpy servers will be listed alongside the regular Romania servers. On the Windows app, the NoSpy servers are accessible in its own exclusive tab. In tests, I found it easy to connect to CyberGhost’s NoSpy servers. Even though some VPNs do own their own server networks, not many operate it with their own staff like CyberGhost. You won’t find specialty servers like this with HMA - in fact, it’s quite unique in the VPN industry as a whole. The NoSpy network is also located in Romania, a privacy-friendly country without invasive data collection or mass surveillance laws.

In the event of a connection drop, the kill switch will prevent your real IP address from leaking. Your downloading and uploading traffic is protected by military-grade encryption. In addition, all servers are configured for fast torrenting and work with Bittorrent clients. In fact, I found ExpressVPN was faster than HMA by at least 50% when I tested the same server locations. I was impressed to still have lightning-fast speeds even when connected to servers on the other side of the world (which usually slows down your connection, since your data has to travel farther to be encrypted by the VPN). In tests, ExpressVPN provided excellent speeds on multiple servers in the US, France, Australia, Germany, and beyond. This makes it ideal for streaming, torrenting, gaming, and general browsing - you won’t have to worry about any slowdown.

Correia wrote a number of short stories and a novel in 20 for Privateer Press that were set in the Iron Kingdoms role-playing world. The second Dead Six novel, Swords of Exodus, was released in September 2013. Warbound (August 2013), the final book in the trilogy, was a finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Novel as a result of the Sad Puppies campaign, and received an Audie Award in 2014. The audiobook versions of Hard Magic and Spellbound won Audie Awards in 20 (respectively). The second book, Spellbound, was released in November that same year. Ĭorreia's The Grimnoir Chronicles trilogy, set in an alternate and magical 1930s, began with the release of Hard Magic in May 2011. The fourth Monster Hunter International novel, Monster Hunter Legion, received 17 fewer nominations than the least-nominated finalist for the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Novel. Correia was a finalist for the 2011 John W. Dead Six, the first book in a new trilogy co-authored with Mike Kupari, was released in September 2011. The third book in the series, Monster Hunter Alpha, was released in July 2011 and was also a New York Times bestseller. The sequel, Monster Hunter Vendetta, was a New York Times bestseller when released in September 2010. Monster Hunter International was re-released by Baen in July 2009 and was on the Locus bestseller list in November 2009. Monster Hunter International, despite being self-published, reached the Entertainment Weekly bestseller list in April 2008, before he received this publishing contract. One of these posters had once worked in a large independent bookstore, and passed it on to his old employer-who in turn passed it to Baen Books-which offered Correia a publishing contract. His self-published first novel, Monster Hunter International, was written for-and marketed directly to-the posters on these boards. The original rough draft of Dead Six appeared on one of these forums, "The High Road", in a thread started by Mike Kupari called "Welcome Back, Mr. Correia used to be active on firearms discussion boards, where he would write about his interest in weapons and low-budget monster movies, and also get inspiration from various online threads.

Īfter returning home from his mission, he got married before graduating with an accounting degree. While attending Utah State University, Correia-who was raised Catholic-joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served a two-year mission in Alabama. He stayed in California for about a year before joining his family in Utah. In 2014, Correia started the Sad Puppies campaign to nominate works for the Hugo Award, including his own, that he claimed were more popular but often unfairly passed over by voters in favor of more literary works or stories with progressive political themes.Ĭorreia grew up in El Nido, California working on his Portuguese father's dairy farm until his mid-teens, when his family moved to Utah.

Here are the speeds for different Rear Gear Options on the MT82 6-speed manual. To summarize, the MT82 has an extra street gear, gears 1-5 are non-overdrive, 6th gear is the only overdrive gear. In the example above, 30 might not be completely accurate.I say it again and again when these threads come up, 5th gear is the new 1:1 ratio in the MT82, not 4th as the old 5-speeds.Įveryone is gearing their cars with the MT82 like the old 5-speeds or like a Tremec used in the GT500 or Camaro, which it is not, as those have 5th and 6th as the overdrive gears, while the MT82 only has 6th gear as overdrive. You don’t need the tire diameter calculator in this case, but be advised that most stated tire sizes rarely match the actual tire height. Truck and off road tires may have a specification like 30×9.5R15, where 30 is the tire diameter, 9.50 is the tread width and 15 is the wheel diameter. Tires with identical specifications that are made by different manufacturers may have different actual diameters. The calculated value should be used only as a guideline for RPM calculations.

Upgrading to 37-inch tires would calculate to about a 16 percent increase in tire diameter. Using the calculator below and the numbers in this example, the calculated value will be 32.24″. On the 90 the car had a 3.08 gear and 5 speed trans, it went 80mph at 2000rpm exactly. Metric tire specifications use a three number format, such as 275/75R16, where 275 is the WIDTH of the tire tread in millimeters, 75 is the ASPECT (or percentage of tread width to yield the sidewall height), and 16 is the WHEEL diameter.

First locate your current gear ratio and tire diameter and then find your approximate RPM at 65 MPH, then reference your new tire diameter with your desired RPM to find the new gear ratio needed. In order to select the ideal differential gear ratio, the first thing you will need to know is your actual tire diameter.

It isn't often that I just tear into a game like this but there is a good reason why I deleted RICO and never looked back. To top it off the game had some brain dead AI and awful shooting that made the game feel really cheap when you aren't just doing the whole slow motion breach thing. The weapons were also disappointing to use, and it was very annoying to try to buy upgrades for them. It didn't help how it's only real mode mode felt kinda broken with it being very time consuming and hard to complete due to design flaws. The game was very repetitive, it is essentially just repeating the same breach-n-clear gimmick over and over and over with very little variety to keep it interesting thanks to the bland and terribly laid out generated levels. Thu 15th Aug I was hugely disappointed with RICO after NintendoLife gave it a rather positive review.So, saddle up, lock and load, and prepare for our selection of the best First-Person Shooters on Switch. From remade classics to seemingly 'impossible' ports, there's now plenty to choose from, and with Metroid Prime 4 lingering stubbornly over the horizon, there's never been a better time to gear up like John Matrix, light a cigar and blast through the demonic hordes on your handheld. The success of Switch is changing all that, though, and we've seen a raft of FPS games arrive on the handheld hybrid. Still, Nintendo consoles have often missed out on the best multiplatform shooters. After all, GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark helped define the FPS on consoles, and the Metroid Prime series shifted the exploration of the 2D Metroids into a first-person perspective to great effect. It's a welcome change because Nintendo systems have historically lagged a little behind other consoles in the FPS field despite hosting some classics. Nintendo Switch's bulging catalogue of games covers practically every genre, and First-Person Shooters are no exception. Updated with Fashion Police Squad and Metroid Prime Remastered. |
