![]() Jolliff is a specialist in mineralogy and provided his expertise for this study of the Chang’e-5 samples. “This is science done in the ideal way: an international collaboration, with free sharing of data and knowledge - and all done in the most collegial way possible. “The consortium includes members from China, Australia, the U.S., the U.K. “The lab in Beijing where the new analyses were done is among the best in the world, and they did a phenomenal job in characterizing and analyzing the volcanic rock samples,” Jolliff said. This long-term relationship is possible through a special collaboration agreement that includes Washington University and its Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Shandong University in Weihai, China, with support from Washington University’s McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences. Jolliff has worked with the scientists at the Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe (SHRIMP) Center in Beijing that led this study, including study co-author Dunyi Liu, for over 15 years. Jolliff and colleagues are now sifting through the regolith samples for keys to other significant lunar science issues, such as finding bits and pieces tossed into the Chang’e-5 collection site from distant, young impact craters such as Aristarchus, to possibly determining the ages of these small rocks and the nature of the materials at those other impact sites. The results presented in the Science paper are just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Other interesting findings from the study relate to the composition of basalts in the returned samples and what that means for the moon’s volcanic history, Jolliff noted. And that’s good enough to distinguish between the different formulations of the chronology.” In terms of planetary time, that’s a very precise determination. “In this study, we got a very precise age right around 2 billion years, plus or minus 50 million years,” Jolliff said. “This cratering chronology has been extended to other planets - for example, for Mercury and Mars - to say that surfaces with a certain density of craters have a certain age.” “The Apollo samples gave us a number of surfaces that we were able to date and correlate with crater densities,” Jolliff explained. “But to put absolute age dates on that, one has to have samples from those surfaces.” That’s a nice relative determination,” Jolliff said. “Planetary scientists know that the more craters on a surface, the older it is the fewer craters, the younger the surface. In terms of planetary time, that’s a very precise determination.” Knowing the age of these rocks with certainty, scientists are now able to more accurately calibrate their important chronology tools, Jolliff said. This study shows that the moon rocks returned by Chang’e-5 are only about 2 billion years old. Scientists have taken advantage of the moon’s enduring craters to develop methods of estimating the ages of different regions on its surface, based in part on how pocked by craters the area appears to be. But unlike the Earth, the moon doesn’t have the erosive or mountain-building processes that tend to erase craters over the years. The gap that Jolliff references is important not only for studying the moon, but also for studying other rocky planets in the solar system.Īs a planetary body, the moon itself is about 4.5 billion years old, almost as old as the Earth. So the Chang’e-5 samples fill a critical gap.” And all of the young impact craters whose ages have been determined from the analysis of samples are younger than 1 billion years. “All of the volcanic rocks collected by Apollo were older than 3 billion years. (Image created with: Lunar QuickMap, a collaboration between NASA, Arizona State University & Applied Coherent Technology Corp.) “Of course, ‘young’ is relative,” Jolliff said.

Players are thrust into the action of every iconic moment of the era - from the thunder of cavalry charges, to storms of flaming arrows, sprawling castle sieges and more. Summary: Chivalry 2 is a multiplayer first person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles.Overall the game is plagued by issues and seems to do nothing to save itself, and has a toxic playerbase that will crucify you for using a bow while saying the most obscene stuff in chat. All Tenosia maps have audio layering issues, especially the Breach of Baudwin, the "running out of time" music plays twice over itself, causing one of the most annoying audio bugs I've ever experienced, the customizations sometimes reset themselves, and there's a few crash issues but those are the only issues that get fixed. The game doesn't close properly, and sends a crash report on close and requires a full steam restart. There are various, non map related technical issues that I've had for my entire play time. From the start of my playtime to now, they added less than five weapons, and haven't fixed some of the biggest issues with the game that have been IN the game for a while now. ![]() The addition of a third faction was a massive marketing point, used in tons of YouTube advertisements through sponsored videos, as well as the addition of horses.then they did nothing with them. I started playing around the Tenosia update when it was added to steam, and it was cool! But in that time since then, they have added one map, and the Tenosians still have next to no customization options. The dev team has extremely slow development cycles. I personally enjoyed the challenge as I was learning, but can't recommend it to others. This ends up being a case of veterans with 200+ hours on the game going against players that are still learning. This has been an issue as long as I can remember, one team starts to lose so all the high level players that recognize the way the match is going all switch to one team, or stack the game at the start. The option to switch teams needs to be removed entirely. Its not as bad as mordhau though, but if you do too well, take someone's catapult, play archer, or anything in between, you'll get vote kicked. The community is extremely toxic, as is par with every medieval PVP game. The perfect parry drops no stamina, and since its a sharp weapon it can literally cleave through your entire team at once. This has become a MASSIVE problem at the time of me writing this, you'll always spot several people with dane axes (you get 2 with the class that has it), and they wait to perfect parry with them and do a wide sweep. You need to be blocking at all times against them, which is free kills for their teammates. ![]() Weapon balance is impossible, given that custom DPI settings exist, and people can use DPI accelerators to make sure every swing they take can go light speed, usually with the dane axe. The catapults also destroy the ice you spawn on, setting up kill zones for the balistas if they know what they're doing. The first OBJ is against 6 Balistas and and 3 catapults facing the other side's spawn. The latest map is a particularly egregious example. ![]() Maps are poorly optimized, and always HEAVILY side one side or another meaning you need to have a better team with luck to beat the other side. I used to really like the game, but the problems just keep getting worse. The song's lyrics are, for the most part, about the group's flight to London in August 1965 and their accompanying English tour, as hinted at by the opening couplet: "Eight miles high and when you touch down, you'll find that it's stranger than known." Although commercial airliners fly at an altitude of six to seven miles, it was felt that "eight miles high" sounded more poetic than six and also recalled the title of the Beatles' song " Eight Days a Week". ![]() Top 20 hit, and was also their last release before the departure of Gene Clark, the band's principal songwriter at the time. ![]() "Eight Miles High" became the Byrds' third and final U.S. The song was also included on the band's third album, Fifth Dimension, which was released on July 18, 1966. "Eight Miles High" reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 24 in the UK Singles Chart. The failure of "Eight Miles High" to reach the Billboard Top 10 is usually attributed to the broadcasting ban, but some commentators have suggested that the song's complexity and uncommercial nature were greater factors. The band strenuously denied these allegations at the time, but in later years both Clark and Crosby admitted that the song was at least partly inspired by their own drug use. radio ban shortly after its release, following allegations published in the broadcasting trade journal the Gavin Report regarding perceived drug connotations in its lyrics. Accordingly, critics often cite "Eight Miles High" as being the first bona fide psychedelic rock song, as well as a classic of the counterculture era. Musically influenced by Ravi Shankar and John Coltrane, "Eight Miles High", along with its McGuinn and Crosby-penned B-side " Why", was influential in developing the musical styles of psychedelic rock, raga rock, and psychedelic pop.

" Eight Miles High" is a song by the American rock band the Byrds, written by Gene Clark, Jim McGuinn (a.k.a.

When we arrived in London, there was a huge crowd of screaming girls at the airport gate to meet the Byrds…" We obtained the autographs directly from Cooper, as well as her original TWA flight itinerary, her travel insurance policy for the flight, and copies of the relevant pages of her diary. I gave her my travel diary for them to sign. In her accompanying letter, Cooper writes "a few hours into the flight the stewardess came back to where we were sitting and told us the Byrds were in 1st class she asked if I would like their autographs. ![]() Also aboard was 17 year old Cindy Cooper, traveling with her family.

Miley Cyrus will bring her popular Backyard Sessions to MTV as a special episode of MTV Unplugged, the network announced. We’re not the only ones who believe so, as MTV has sent in the time-machine for the second round of covers. It’s set in the serene of nature, hues of brown from the overarching trees matching a messy bun as her vocals reach their full potential in an acoustic version of her godmother’s, Dolly Parton’s “Joelene.” For lack of a better word, it’s iconic. Dusting through the back-catalog of Miley Cyrus performances, there’s a particular video camped out on YouTube that’s reached well over one million likes. ![]() The film version of Spartacus has the same situation, between Kirk Douglas and actor Woody Strode. Morgan gets the upper hand in the fight, and then doesn't kill Machiste and instigates a gladiator rebellion.Īs I say, the early part is swiped from ben Hur and the second half from Spartacus. Faster than you can say "I am Spartacus!" Morgan and Machiste are picked to fight one another and Machiste tells him to kill him in the fight or he will surely kill Morgan. After a bit of Ben-Hur stuff, where they help fight off pirates, just as they were about to be hung for rebelling against the guards on the slave galley they sailed, they find themselves sold as gladiators, to fight in the arenas of Skataris. In issue 2, of the series (the third Warlord story, after the First Issue Special debut and Warlord #1), Travis Morgan, after some improbable circumstances, is shanghaied by slavers and is chained alongside a black man, named Machiste (after the Italian hero of legend and multiple sword & sandal films). You have a bit of a wrestling connection in Mike Grell's Warlord. There have been other lucha versions of comic book and comic strip characters, including The Phantom. He soon moved into films, both on his own and teamed with fellow luchadores Blue Demon and El Santo, plus the lucha supergroup Los Campeones JusticieroS (Champions of Justice). Aaron Rodriguez Arellano was tapped to portray the character in the ring. The publisher started a contest to create a new lucha hero and the name Mil Mascaras was chosen. The El Santo comic was one of the most popular ones, in Mexico, along with Kaliman and Fantomas. Lucha Libre legend Mil Mascaras debuted as both a wrestler and a comic. Michinoku Pro used an evil twin, Masked Tiger, and then Rocky Romero portrayed him in New Japan. New Japan introduced a version of Black Tiger, portrayed by British wrestler Marc "Rollerball" Rocco.Īll Japan did not use the gimmick but, New Japan introduced a new version, to battle against Jushin Liger and Wild Pegasus (Chris Benoit), portrayed by Eddie Guerrero. The Tiger Den sends assassins to force him to come back, including several other Tigers, including Big Tiger, Black Tiger and King Tiger. He turns babyface and breaks with the Tiger Den group and gives a large portion of his winnings to the orphanage. ![]() He goes back to visit the orphanage where he spent part of his childhood and finds out the boy is from there and it is now run by old friends. After a match in Japan, a young boy comes up to Tiger Mask and says he wants to be a villain, just like him. In the manga, Tiger Mask trained with the Tiger Den organization, which trained heel wrestlers and took a percentage of their winnings. Yoshihiro Yamazaki debuted as Tiger Mask IV, in 1995, in Michinoku Pro Wrestling, before joining New Japan Pro Wrestling, still using the gimmick. ![]() Kanemoto only portrayed the gimmick for 2 years, before being unmasked by Jushin Liger (whose gimmick was also based on a manga and anime, Beast God Liger) In 1992, it went back to New Japan and was portrayed by Koji Kanemoto.

These limitations were thus overcome by founding, which soon became the home of the whole Savage Community. The administrators of "Evolved" found it difficult to get people to contribute to their community because of the inter-clan rivalry and the competitive nature of Savage. The roots for Savage XR were set with the foundation of in 2006, stemming from the competitive clan website of "Evolved" and its forum community named "The EvO Community". Today in 2020 only Heroes of Newerth, now maintained by Frostburn Studios, and Savage: The Battle for Newerth (Savage XR), maintained by our Newerth Team, are still being played.įrom 2005 to 2007 the game was improved by the SEP/SFE team, including notably the legendary "Uttar" and "WhiteDwarf".

Largescale interventions aimed at improving mental health in general and reducing aggressive behaviour in particular seem ambitious. Training about violence should be included in routine multiagency teaching on child protection. ![]() Simplistic assumptions about why women get into and remain in violent situations must be discarded-life for these families is seldom simple. Sensitive questions about unacceptable behaviour at home may help children and parents to reveal distressing situations. They do not need a detailed knowledge of family law, 8 but they do need to know when and how to seek expert help and how to avoid making matters worse. Health visitors, school nurses, and community midwives are well placed to prevent, identify, and intervene when domestic violence affects children or partners. Next, all health professionals should be more aware of domestic violence in clinical practice. The same may be true for other forms of violence in the family. What can be done about it? Many of the causes of violence are beyond the reach of health professionals, but in the case of child abuse acknowledgement by professionals and society that child abuse happened and was unacceptable was the first step towards protecting children. A genetic predisposition to violent behaviour may make a small contribution. These complex sequences and associations are probably mediated through a mixture of stress, poor parenting, low self esteem, shame, and self blame. The history of violence between partners often begins with fights and assaults on dates. ![]() Conduct disorder and antisocial behaviour, even at the age of 7, are powerful predictors of violent behaviour towards partners in adolescence and early adult life. 6 If the mother changes address often or enters a refuge to escape her violent partner, social isolation and loss of friends add to the children’s insecurity.Įxposure to violence in the home is linked to juvenile crime. Affected children often have other problems, such as involvement in endemic street and playground violence, bullying in school, educational failure, and exclusion from or dropping out of school, and an increased incidence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The impact on children depends on the intensity and frequency of the violence more than their gender or age, but the presenting features are as varied as in adults. Conversely, in 60% of cases where children have been abused the mother will also have been a victim. Children in violent households are three to nine times more likely to be injured and abused, either directly or while trying to protect their parent. Women are more likely to be injured than men in domestic incidents, but men are not necessarily the initial aggressors.Īdult victims of repeated violence suffer physical injuries a range of emotional and psychological problems, including self harm, eating disorders, post traumatic stress disorder, suicide and somatic complaints such as irritable bowel syndrome. It may involve abuse, accusation, and innuendo deprivation of freedom or physical or sexual assault. Violence between adult partners occurs in all social classes, all ethnic groups and cultures, all age groups, in disabled people as well as able bodied, and in both homosexual and heterosexual relationships. Several forms of violence and abuse may occur in the same family children, parents and their partners, and older family members may be victims or perpetrators and may switch roles at different times. 3Įstimates of how many people experience violence in the family depend on definition, circumstances, and the method of inquiry, 1 but even the lowest figures show that this is a common and serious problem. ![]() 1 Violence in the family includes “any act or omission committed within the framework of the family by one of its members that undermines the life, the bodily or psychological integrity, or liberty of another member of the same family or that seriously harms the development of his or her personality.” 2 Separating the causes and effects of domestic violence from those of poor parenting, poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, and violent neighbours and schools is a tough research challenge. Physical violence in the family probably blights the lives of more people than all genetic disorders put together, yet research on the issue has struggled to achieve scientific legitimacy. Frustrating and sluggish movement and a joyless presentation make this one of the hardest games in the franchise to enjoy, even if you’re a fan of the film. Tl dr – The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is yet another game in Traveller’s Tales’ family-friendly franchise of LEGO Open-World 3D Action-Platformers, but something went very wrong this time. Virtually every other console game in the series, I could see myself at least playing for a bit to kill some time, but the thought of spending more time with this game repulses me. This wasn’t merely a fatigue of the LEGO games that may have seeped into my feelings on many of the other games in the franchise, this was a genuine dislike for the game. When I felt like I had played enough of The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame to review it, I shut it off in disgust. How the heck did we go from that to this!? Just what the heck went wrong here? The previous game in the series before this was LEGO DC Super-Villains, a title that I felt was one of the high points in the franchise! That game was absolutely overflowing with personality, polish, and great gameplay that progressed the series. Add to this 3D visuals that seem unpolished with a fair amount of pop-in and some frustrating camera issues, and you have a game that at times seems to want you to hate it. It’s not even just that the film’s all-star voice cast has been replaced here with awful stand-ins that sound drastically different from their film counterparts, it’s that the LEGO franchise’s signature humor is missing here, replaced with bog-standard, boring, task-focused writing that particularly feels like a betrayal of the wonderfully witty film this game is based on. However, what ultimately feels like this game’s biggest fundamental flaw is the absolutely joyless presentation. This slowness extends to the game’s vehicles, which absolutely fail to convey any sense of speed. Why Traveller’s Tales felt the need to do this when movement was perfectly fine in earlier games, I have no idea, but it makes everything in this game more of a slog. Just moving around in this game feels like you’re walking through molasses, like you have to struggle a bit before you can get some momentum going. I mean sure, yes, this game does once again reuse the standard Traveller’s Tales’ LEGO 3D Action-Platformer formula, which at its core is still good, it just does so in a particularly awful way here. that’s about all the positives I have to say here. Also, this game starts you out in its Open-World immediately, not forcing you through some starting linear level before setting you loose to explore. ![]() It then works this into the franchise’s usual “build something to solve a ‘puzzle’ to progress” way of doing things by having a pretty obvious square platform where you’re clearly intended to build something, a nice visual shorthand. First, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame makes smart use of an element from LEGO Worlds, the ability to scan items and build them. ![]() ![]() While The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is one of the worst-reviewed mainline games in the LEGO franchise, it does have its redeeming qualities. okay, this game isn’t a complete disaster. This is the yet another entry in Traveller’s Tales’ long-running LEGO crossover franchise of family-friendly 3D Action-Platformers, with this game naturally following the events of The LEGO Movie 2. The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is a family-friendly Open-World 3D Action-Platformer released in 2019 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. ![]() ![]() Step 3: Remove Drywall If You’re Installing Straps From Inside The House Only after you remove them will you gain access to the rafters, and then you will be able to locate the spots where you will strap hurricane ties. If you are doing this same process outside, you may have to uninstall the wooden, aluminum, or vinyl soffits. Step 2: Uninstall Soffits If You Need To Locate Outside Rafters To locate them, find the places where the wooden construction (wall) that is horizontal to the ground meets the wooden construction (roof) that runs diagonally upward. But to learn that, you first need to locate the places where you will use them. You should first visit your attic to find out what are the spots where you must install hurricane straps. Step 1: Find The Spots Where The Trusses Meet The Beams Yes, it’s a little more challenging, but it can be done. However, do not despair if you want to do this on an existing roof. Installing hurricane straps while the house is being built is much easier because the house is barren, and all the connections between the roof’s and wall’s structure are clearly visible. Step-by-step Guide On How To Install Hurricane Straps With An Existing Roof Image Credit: stateviewhomes But that isn’t always enough, so you might need two different types of hurricane straps to do the job. If not, you will have to use two straps to secure every spot where the wall and roof framing aren’t aligned. In most houses, these two are aligned, which means you can use a single bracket to secure the wall and the roof. The last thing that you have to take into account is the alignment of the roof and wall. When it comes to installing hurricane straps with an existing roof, many states and municipalities require homeowners to use special straps that have passed certain inspections and tests, so keep this in mind. Does Your State Or Municipality Require Special Hurricane Ties? Of course, since the wood is inserted into the cradle, you will have to choose those whose width corresponds to the width of the wood frame. The rafter or beam sits in the tie’s cradle while the lower part of the strap is mounted to the top plate of the wall. If you’re planning on buying them, choose a variety that is long enough to be fixed on both roof and walls. There are basically two types of hurricane straps. The first one is the single-sided twist hurricane straps which are installed only on one side of the wood construction. ![]() What Are The Dimensions Of The Trusses And Beams? To see hurricane ties’ capacity, consult the product specifications page. What to do in this case? Of course, you will buy those hurricane ties whose minimum uplift capacity is bigger than you need. Let’s say that the roof trusses on your home have an uplift of 800 lbs at each end. What Is The Demand Load Of The Truss Or Beams? There are several criteria that you must consider when buying hurricane ties. How To Select Proper Hurricane Ties For Your Existing Roof? Image Credit: roofsbyrhino Nowadays, they are mandatory in areas where hurricanes (high wind speeds over 74 mph) are a common occurrence. They are also known as hurricane clips, ties, anchors, connectors, and brackets and are made of galvanized or stainless steel. By doing this, you’re basically attaching the roof to the foundation of the house, making it extremely hard for a hurricane to lift it and leave you without a roof over your head. ![]() Hurricane straps are a special kind of fasteners that help securely fix the roof to the wall construction. Well, you’ve come to the right place because we’ll teach you how to install hurricane straps with an existing roof. When a hurricane is in town, you hide somewhere, ride out the storm, and after a day or two, continue with your life, hopefully without any significant changes.īut what if you own an older house that isn’t secured against hurricanes? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could not worry every single time if this is the time the roof will fly away? For this reason, millions of people with the opportunity to leave areas where hurricanes are a regular thing stay where they are their whole lives. However, by the time we realize this fact, we’ve already spent so much time in one place that it’s hard to move on from it. You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your home, friends, and job. |
