The first new quest type in 7 Days to Die, Infested Clear, presumably relates to clearing zombies from a specified area. Players can also now sip water directly from the source bottles will be a thing of the past. Drinking water will be rebalanced the only kind of water that players can find in the update will be murky, so all found water will have to be boiled lest players risk HP damage and dysentery. However, when there's no open space for the water to occupy, it will cease moving, which will likely improve performance. For one, water will be rendered as voxels instead of blocks, and its physics will be upgraded, so it can flow more accurately and players can move through it more easily. ![]() Water will also function differently after the Alpha 21 update to 7 Days to Die. Most likely, it means that points of interest will have certain new features and balance tweaks in line with the more sweeping changes to the game. The Dev Diary claims this will bring hundreds of existing POIs up to "current standards," but exactly what that means is unclear. Some existing POIs will simply get proper names, while others will receive more substantial upgrades. Points of interest, which refers to most buildings and landmarks in 7 Days to Die, will also see some changes. Shadows on grass, which were previously removed from the game in order to improve performance, will return in the update for players with higher-end PCs. However, the developers still ensure that all players on a server can have some fully-simulated zombies on screen at the same time. Certain features will be throttled at a distance from the player in order to decrease PC workloads both client-side and server-side. There are also a number of changes coming to the Alpha 21 update for 7 Days to Die that seem geared toward improving the game's performance. To match this, repair kits will no longer simply return vehicles to full health, but the vehicles themselves will also do more damage and have improved collision physics. Grease Monkey now increases the effectiveness of repair kits the higher the player's skill, the more vehicle health the kit will restore. In previous versions of 7 Days to Die, Grease Monkey governed what vehicles players could craft, but with crafting reliant on skills rather than perks in the upgrade, that'll change. ![]() The Grease Monkey perk will receive special attention in the Alpha 21 update, while the Sexual T-Rex perk will be removed.

ShakeOut drills can be short or part of a longer exercise. “We hope after participating in the drill, students will bring that knowledge home and spark conversations with their family and friends about earthquake preparedness, and how they would respond to an earthquake at home or in the community.” “Like all drills, it offers an opportunity to prepare students and staff with the knowledge and steps to quickly react in the event of an emergency situation,” the district said in a statement.

Mulder said the warning system won’t pick up on every event, just those of a predetermined magnitude. It will have two data centres, one near Ottawa and one to be determined. ![]() Seismologist Taimi Mulder said the system could be up and running by the spring. With the help of grants from Natural Resources Canada, she said, 11 sensor stations will be installed in key locations around the Capital Regional District, like the main Victoria and Saanich fire halls. It’s all part of an extended network to be managed by municipalities and regional districts, said City of Victoria emergency-program co-ordinator Tanya Seal-Jones. The warning system can use automated sensors to stop elevators, alert doctors to halt surgery or prompt fire station doors to open before they’re damaged, Cassidy said. “Of course if you’re really close, if the earthquake is directly beneath you or within a few kilometres, there will be no warning time.” “It just gives you that audible warning to get under a table and hold on, just like we do during the ShakeOut drills - getting away from something that might fall onto you or windows that might break or a chimney that might come down,” he said, adding that for the really big offshore earthquakes, there might be a couple of minutes’ warning. Warnings would come via existing public-alert structures such as cellphones, Cassidy said. He also touted an earthquake early-warning system being developed by the federal government. He said the ShakeOut, a province-wide earthquake-readiness event, is a valuable exercise for the public. “Every day there are tiny earthquakes that aren’t felt, and even magnitudes 4 and 5 we see every month offshore,” said Natural Resources Canada seismologist John Cassidy. ![]() The 4.9-magnitude quake happened Sunday night beneath the ocean about 200 kilometres west of Port Hardy, far enough from populated areas that there were no reports of it being noticed.

But James made it clear during his exit interview that that was not good enough at this stage of his career. This past season, the Lakers made an unlikely run to the Western Conference Finals given they began the season 2-10. “Whether it’s the Heat or you’re in Charlotte, you’re going to mention LeBron’s name.” “It’s hard to talk about the NBA without mentioning his name,” Gabe Vincent said, per Vardon. But James’ impact on his peers and the legacy he will leave behind are undeniable. Of course, James has his fair share of detractors – those who will claim he isn’t even the greatest Laker in history with Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant both lifelong Lakers – let alone the greatest player in NBA history. LeBron James career comparison □ /VCAz9YhQSj “The stats show for itself and he does way more than the stats show,” Reaves said, per Eric Eulau of All Lakers in January of 2022. And he is among those who believe James’ accolades - which include becoming the all-time scoring leader last season - make him the greatest to ever do it. Third-year shooting guard Austin Reaves has already had his fair share of moments with James in his young career. LeBron James’ Teammates Agree With Giannis Antetokounmpo But one doesn’t have to venture far outside of the Lakers organization to find similar praise for James and his career. “He’s kind of like setting the blueprint for the rest of us to go forward.”Īntetokounmpo went on to say he wants to emulate all of those things for his team. “For 21 years, you never get in trouble, to be able to take in his family, protect this family, raise his kids the right way, you know, be happily married, all those things, it’s perfect,” Antetokounmpo said, per Vardon. But the latter is closing the gap.Īs the generations continue to filter in and out, it stands to reason that we are not far from James’ place as the G.O.A.T. Polling shows that Jordan still has the edge over James. Over the years, there has been a shift in the opinions of James’ peers. That was long before the implementation and spread of sports science across the league.The debate has raged on, though, with James and Michael Jordan as the two most often associated with the mantle these days. Of course, Cooper played during the late 70s and through the 80s. When the basketball season start, I was ready.” “You may cut your preparation for getting ready for the season next year, you may not run as hard or many miles. You can rest and dog it afterwards,” Cooper said. “I played hard right from the beginning exhibition season, right into the season, in the playoffs when it was over. He went on to explain that he “never dogged it”, giving maximum effort from start to finish once team activities began. And with him and the rest of the team surely being aware of the plan for this preseason, it is unlikely this is something that even registered in the locker room.Ĭooper is a five-time NBA champion who spent his entire NBA career with the Lakers. Just as it’s James’ 21st NBA season, it is also his 21st NBA preseason. Has been someone that I owe a lot of appreciation to because he’s helped me out so much.” “Great teammate, great person, good friend. “It’s crazy because everybody back home is always like, ‘how’s LeBron, how’s LeBron,’ and he’s the best,” Lakers shooting guard Austin Reaves told Tomer Azarly of Clutch Points in an interview published on September 29. And there appears to be little evidence of the latter. Game Theory with Bomani Jones March 7, 2023īut there is a difference between being under pressure as James’ teammate and feeling as though he is a bad or even just distant one. Smith ( on the pressure of playing with LeBron James. Don't just look at me because I missed a open shot. Smith who says the weight of the expectations can be daunting. There are many opinions of what it is like being James’ teammate both on and off the court, including from former teammates like J.R. ”Ĭooper laughed about the entire incident in the end. “You know they got the fans right next to the bench now. “Don’t be like a spectator sitting over there,” Cooper said. Again, though, he was available when it mattered most – in the postseason – starting all 16 of the Lakers’ playoff games and leading the team in minutes in the process. He has also dealt with injuries the last few seasons, including a foot injury that contributed to a 55-appearance campaign. James does turn 39 years old in December. So the caloric intake probably isn’t much of a concern either. And he is notoriously thorough in taking care of his body. Heading into his 21st NBA season, however, there is little concern about what kind of production the Lakers might get from James. ![]() James also missed the Lakers’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on October 16 as planned. ![]() LeBron said “y’all got it.” □□□ /s09oYjFcEl Steady red light is meant to show a position only slightly below glide path, with pulsating red light being indicative of a position well below glide path. Pulsating white light indicates that the aircraft is too high, whereas steady white indicates being on the glide path. It indicates the pilot's height on approach with a mix of red and white, steady and pulsating light. The pulsating visual approach slope indicator (PVASI) is a system similar in purpose to a VASI, but only consists of one piece of equipment. Pilots should not mistake this area for an “above the glide path” indication. When descending below the glide path, there is a small area of dark amber. Below the glide path is indicated by red, on the glide path is indicated by green, and above the glide path is indicated by amber. AT-VASIS is an abbreviated form of T-VASIS, defined as "ten light units arranged on one side of the runway in the form of a single wing bar of four light units with a bisecting longitudinal line of six lights." Tri-color VASI Tri-color VASIĪ tri-color system consists of a single-light unit projecting a three-color visual approach path. T-VASIS is defined as twenty light units symmetrically disposed about the runway centre line in the form of two wing bars of four light units each, with bisecting longitudinal lines of six lights". Simple VASIs are obsolete, having been deleted from ICAO Annex 14 in 1995, however T-VASIS and AT-VASIS are still specified. Red over Red, you're dead / pilot's dead. Red over White, you're alright / height's alright. White over White, you're high as a kite / you'll fly all night / check your height / you're out of sight / too much height. This used to be the most common type of visual approach slope indicator system however, it is being phased out and replaced by precision approach path indicators (PAPIs), which are closer together and therefore more efficient to sight and maintain.Ī mnemonic to remember the colors and their meaning is: When both sets appear white, the aircraft is too high, and when both appear red it is too low. When the pilot is approaching the lights at the proper angle, meaning the pilot is on the glide slope, the first set of lights appears white and the second set appears red. Each light is designed so that it appears as either white or red, depending on the angle at which it is viewed. ![]() Standard VASI Standard visual approach slope indicator (circled in red) Working VASI Comparison of PAPI, VASI, and OLS meatball and datum lights (not to scale)īasic visual approach slope indicators consist of one set of lights set up some 7 metres (23 ft) from the start of the runway. These lights may be visible from up to 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) during the day and up to 32 kilometres (20 mi) or more at night. The visual approach slope indicator ( VASI) is a system of lights on the side of an airport runway threshold that provides visual descent guidance information during final approach.

A suit of Spades can be played once they've been "broken" and have become the "trump" suit.Īfter each hand, scores are calculated. If they don't have that suit on hand, they can play any card, except a suit of Spades, on the first trick. Players must follow the suit of the card that has been laid down before their turn. Each team combines their bids to determine how many tricks they have to take to avoid negative points. In each round, players bid on how many tricks they can take. At the start of the game, each player is dealt 13 cards, and the player to the left of the dealer goes first. Cards are ranked from Ace being the highest value to 2 being the lowest. The goal of the game is to get your team to 500 points. If you're just looking for a brush-up on the rules, look no further!

Shotguns with buckshot are great weapons for the right shooter, but they are not an across the board good choice for home defense. Most experienced SWAT guys and will tell you that nothing short of 00 buckshot is acceptable to truly end a gunfight, but if you have seen any of our combat shotgun articles, buckshot doesn’t scatter into bigger than a 4″ hole until you get out well past bedroom distances. And while I have seen some internet “experts” expound the use of birdshot for home defense, knowing that I may only get off one shot before potential return fire from an attacker, I’d rather have something that can shoot through a Lazy Boy at 10 feet, and birdshot cannot. But that works mostly for only very small pellets, BB-sized shot or smaller. What makes the shotgun so desirable is that people have been convinced that the pellets “scatter.” It is, after all, called a scattergun. Shotguns, according to VP Joe, are great advice, but unless there are no small potential shooters involved, and unless you are prepared for a hefty recoil, hefty muzzle rise and hefty boom, shotguns aren’t a great choice. The front of the mag well is molded for a forward grip. Your wife may shoot the AR really comfortably during the day outside with hearing protection, but in a genuine firefight both you and the wife will most likely find that the muzzle flash temporarily blinds you and that the crack from the shot is deafening, and certainly not what you prepared yourself for with all that trigger time. The problem with ARs is that in close quarters, indoors, at night, the muzzle flash and sonic concussion are intense. You can also trick your AR-15 out with lights, lasers, optics, even thermal imaging if you want to, and it is probably the best battle-tested option you can buy. Outside, at distance even, most ARs are capable of great accuracy, and the ergonomics of the gun make it a proven performer. 223/5.56 cartridge actually stops quicker in wall materials than most handgun rounds, so an AR-15 is a really good choice if you are worried about missing and potentially harming a neighbor or family member in a confrontation with bad guys inside your home. This is due to the short distance between the front and rear sights, called the “sight radius.” The farther apart your sights, the more finely you can attune your aiming point, and pistols are just too short for most people to shoot accurately even to the end of the driveway. The problem with handguns is that they are hard to shoot accurately at distances of over 20 yards or so. Handy and maneuverable in close quarters. The cocking handle comes installed on the left side for right-handed shooters. With the new focus on quality control and great customer service, the This year is going to see a new emergence from Taurus since Mark Kresser took over the company. The accuracy is at least as good as other pistol caliber carbines we have tested, and the features on the gun are all you could want for home and personal defense. Our results showed the CT9 to be extremely reliable and tolerant of different types of ammo. 40 S&W version was released, but we were able to test the 9mm gun. The Taurus CT9 is a more full-featured gun than the USC, and with an MSRP of $879 and street prices under $750, this new carbine should fly off the shelves. The civilian version was called the USC, and is no longer produced (it was too expensive). The Taurus CT9 and CT40 are new entrants into the pistol-caliber carbine market, and they look and work a lot like H&K’s follow up to the MP5, called the UMP. ![]() The H&K MP5 is legend when it comes to SWAT and SPEC-OPS deployment, and it has achieved that status firing the 9mm cartridge, despite concerns of many that the 9mm is underpowered. It has almost no recoil or muzzle rise, little muzzle flash and plenty of punch to get the job done in close quarters. No word yet on if we’ll see a CT45, but we got to test the CT9 and it was both reliable and accurate.įor urban combat and self defense, many would argue that there is no better choice in a firearm than a pistol-caliber carbine. The Taurus CT9 and CT40 are pistol-caliber carbines made a lot like the H&K USC, which was actually a. |
