Fucile val silent sniper5/17/2023 ![]() Users could quickly deploy the gun from the case and get to work. What’s really fascinating is that the AS Val could be broken down into several pieces and stored in a specialized case. These tend to be quite long and somewhat unwieldy. However, 30-round magazines existed as well. Most AS Val’s are used with a 20 round magazine. The 9×39 round is rather large and does require a somewhat large magazine. The design gives you a near submachine gun-sized weapon that packs more power, more range, and soft armor-piercing capability than a submachine gun. Its overall length is 34.4 inches and 24.2 inches with the stock collapsed.Īt 5.51 pounds, the AS Val is rather lightweight. Russians used the same long-stroke gas piston system, safety, Warsaw pact rail, and similar sights as the AK’s.Ī folding stock allowed it to be an incredibly compact package. The AS Val provided a selective fire submachine gun, and the VSS Vintorez provided a short-range precision rifle.Īs anyone else would imagine, the AS Val was based on the AK series of rifles. The Soviets created two rifles for this purpose, the AS Val and VSS Vintorez. Again, it’s never going to be as quiet as the movies would have you think, but you can eliminate a sentry or small patrol without raising the alarm at the nearby town or base. So, a subsonic round prevents that supersonic crack and provides the most silent weapon possible. That loud crack can still ring your ears and be heard for quite some distance. Suppressors work to suppress the gunshot of the weapon but do nothing to stock the supersonic crack. ![]() To make the AS Val as silent as possible, the Soviets created an entirely new cartridge known as the 9x39mm. As such, they wanted the weapon to be both compact and effectively silent.Īn AK with a mounted suppressor is quite long, and moving to an integrally suppressed rifle would reduce the overall length significantly. Soviet forces wanted something quieter and more efficient for clandestine ops. ![]() Prior to the advent of the Val, special ops troops were using firearms like the AKS-74UB, AK 74s, and 47s with attached suppressors. As an integrally suppressed rifle, it was designed with special operations in mind. The AS Val was never intended to be a general infantry rifle. ![]()

Error Codesīelow are error codes that might show up in-game and their explanations. If the error codes are always different, it might indicate that the problem isn’t permanent, and that you’ll get through after enough tries. That’s why it’s advised to try a few times at least and maybe at different times during the day. Please note that one reason for errors can be as simple as the servers might be under heavy load at the moment. You can see the explanations for error codes below. Sometimes the game will output an error code when it can, which might explain why the problem occurred. Usually the issues are related to connecting to other players. The Online Multiplayer works very well for the most part as most players never encounter any problems, but unfortunately some players have trouble with online matches. However, note that some, usually just older, versions might not work together. Trine games 1-3 support cross-platform multiplayer between Windows, Mac and Linux. However, please note that we recommend going through this page first, especially the Help section. If you have any questions, please email us at the following address. There is also a separate section for Trine 4 as well. Parts of these instructions also apply to Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince and Nine Parchments – the biggest difference is the error codes, which are slightly different in Trine 4 and Nine Parchments in comparison to Trine 1-3. The games all this info applies to are listed below.

Hemingway editor.5/16/2023 ![]() You can use the online editor version which is free. Hemingway Editor is a handy tool that you can use to improve your writing. This will make your writing more forceful. If the meaning of a sentence doesn’t change when you delete an adverb, remove it. The key is to remove redundant and unnecessary words. ![]() Instead of using a verb with an adverb, you could either omit the word or find a stronger verb.įor instance, instead of saying someone is “walking slowly”, I could have said that they “tip-toed” or they “crept”. Often times, adverbs weaken the verbs and largely redundant. Remove Redundant AdverbsĪn adverb is a word that modifies another word. Ultimately, you are writing for your audience. When you choose a word, use words that your audience will understand. Hemingway Editor will highlight any complex word in purple color and provide suggestions that you can use. Readers like to read content that is written in a simple language and easy to understand. Simple words make your writing easy to understand. One of the most effective ways of improving readability is to use short and common words or simple words. ![]() Have you ever stopped reading an article because there are too many words you couldn’t understand? Convert the sentence to active voice to make it stronger. Hemingway Editor highlights any use of passive voice in green. Active voice puts you in the driving seat and makes your content more engaging for the reader. The focus of the sentence has changed from John to the car.Īctive voice is simpler and more direct and best to make your point. Rather, the car is just the recipient of John’s action. On the example above, the subject of the sentence becomes the car but the car isn’t doing anything. In passive voice, the target of the action gets promoted to the subject position. On the example above, John is the subject and he is doing the action. In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action. Passive voice sentences often use more words and can be vague. Generally, we should try to use the active voice whenever possible. Avoid Passive VoiceĪnother writing habit that I have is how often I use passive voice in most of my sentences. A good content consists of sentences with a variety of lengths from a short sentence to medium sentence to long sentence. You should keep in mind, too many short sentences make your writing choppy. The shorter and simpler the sentence, the easier it is to read. The keys to writing a short sentence are to keep one idea per sentence, to use fewer words and expressions. You need to re-structure my sentence and cut unnecessary words. As your sentence getting longer, Hemingway will highlight it in yellow or red color. Hemingway keeps you on your toe as I write. ![]() Hemingway makes it easy to identify long sentences. The average length of a good sentence is 10 – 20 words. The long sentence makes your writing harder to read. When I started writing, I have a habit of writing long sentences. Improve Your Writing with Hemingway Editor Keep Your Sentence Short So how does Hemingway Editor app help me write better? In fact, Ernest Hemingway’s work scores as low as 5th grade, despite his adult audience. Writing for readability often means writing at a lower grade. Readability refers to how easy it is to understand a given text. It builds on the innovations of researchers of a field called “Readability”. The first thing you’ll notice is the readability of your writing measured by grade level. It also gives you some quick counts on the number of paragraphs, sentences, words, and characters. Hemingway Editor will flag these 5 major problems in writing and highlight it in different colors: It highlights sentences with possible issues in different colors and offers suggested changes.

Presented at the 2016 Baselworld, the El Primero is a movement which combines fusée and chain transmission system with tourbillon a melding of iconic Zenith complications. Zenith Academy Georges Favre-Jacot El Primero Tourbillon The winding system is bidirectional with 60 minute counter.The movement offers a power reserve of 72 hours.The column wheel on the automatic movement is easily visible.The flyback chronograph movement is Hublot’s HUB 1242 UNICO.There is an anti-reflective, double sided display glass.The bezel is of polished black smoked sapphire crystal.Transparent resin is the material of the skeleton dial.The polished black case is cut from blocks of smoked sapphire crystal.The buckle clasp is black plated titanium. The strap is smoked transparent structured lined in black. Hublot developed a new smoked Sapphire which is contemporary in appearance and gives the watch a lower profile than if the sapphire had been fully transparent. To celebrate the All Black’s tenth anniversary, 500 of the All Black Sapphire watches will be produced. The All Black was intended to be a production of less than 300 units, but 2700 were eventually sold. In 2006, the All Black made watch history, and it generated a trend within watchmaking of creating all black timepieces. Hublot was the first watch manufacturer to launch a completely black watch. These superbly crafted additions were well received.Īll-black timepieces may never be the same again:ġ0 Ressence Type 5BB Hublot All Black Sapphire 2016 This year, the all-black watches at Baselworld included some superb examples which have touches of gold, silver, and other colors. But, at the recent 2016 Baselworld, where the finest watchmaking houses in the world present their very best new creations, a new trend in the all-black watches category emerged. The back is engraved with the All Blacks rugby club fern leaf.Īdmirers of all-black style have always noted that the watches sometimes are more difficult to read than their clear, sapphire crystal cased brothers and sisters. The anthracite dial is imprinted with a black Maori tattoo designed by Tana Salzmann, a Maori carver. One of the most striking examples of these is the limited edition All Blacks Maori Tattoo created for the All Blacks 100 Club by Bulgari. In the past, watchmakers made everything visible, such as the minute and hour hands and any numbers completely black. They are found across all types of watches from those reasonably priced to the most expensive haute horology. Traditionally, all-black watches are those which have black cases, dials and wrist straps. ![]()

Lightroom classic price5/16/2023 ![]() But when Lightroom 6 comes out, you will need to pay the upgrade fee to use it. So, if you upgraded to Lightroom 5.0 when it first came out, you can upgrade to the latest version (5.7) for free, taking advantage of new features introduced since then. ![]() If you are new to Lightroom, the full version (priced at $149 from the Adobe website) saves you money, and if you already own Lightroom, then the upgrade (priced at $79) is even less, saving you a little over $100 over the same time period.Īs a standalone version user you get free upgrades until a full new version comes out. ![]() At $9.99 a month, the subscription service would cost you $179.82 over that period. At the moment a new version of Lightroom comes out approximately every 18 months. If you are on a budget, and don’t need Photoshop CC, then it is definitely less expensive to buy the standalone version of Lightroom. These users may be wondering whether to continue using the standalone version of the software or to subscribe. For tasks Lightroom can’t handle, they may use an older version of Photoshop, a less powerful program like Photoshop Elements, or a plug-in such as the Nik Collection or Perfect Photo Suite 9. The second type of user carries out the bulk of their image processing in Lightroom. Alternatively, if you own a version of Photoshop CS and are not bothered about upgrading to Photoshop CC, you can buy the standalone version of Lightroom and use them together. ![]() For this user, the Creative Cloud option is the only choice if you want the latest version of Photoshop CC. The first uses Lightroom in conjunction with Photoshop and wants access to both programs. To start, we have to acknowledge that there are two types of Lightroom users. But today, I aim to cut through this negativity and take an objective look at the differences between the two options. Read about this on forums and photography websites and you will still come across a lot of negativity towards the Creative Cloud subscription model, especially from Photoshop users upset at the loss of a perpetual licence. There’s little doubt this was a raw deal, but Adobe listened and introduced a new package for photographers – a subscription to both Lightroom and Photoshop CC for $9.99 a month (or $119.88 per year). Not only was subscribing more expensive in the long run, compared to upgrading Photoshop regularly, but the license to use the software expired once monthly payments stopped. For photographers who had already purchased the full version of Photoshop this represented a significant price increase. Creative Cloud is announcedĪdobe’s initial announcement of the Creative Cloud licensing concept was somewhat controversial as the price for a subscription to Photoshop ran at $20 a month (all prices in this article are in US dollars). But how do you know which is the best option for you? Read on to find out. You can still go for the standalone version, or you can buy Lightroom as part of a Creative Cloud monthly membership. But ever since Adobe announced the Creative Cloud subscription service, photographers have been faced with two choices. ![]() All you had to do was buy the full version of the program, and upgrade (if you wished) every time a new version came out. ![]()

Kairon 7th house5/16/2023 ![]() It’s not about pushing on the places where it hurts, it’s about finding what the wound is and where the wound is, so we can address it. In the words of artist and astrologer Elise Wells of Planet Poetica, “Chiron is the bruise. You’ll notice that the symbol for Chiron strongly resembles a key and for good reason the sign and house placement of Chiron within the birth chart unlocks our point of greatest pain and ultimate potential. To determine both the sign and house placement of Chiron, use a birth chart generating program like this. To identify the sign your Chiron falls in, use this calculator. ![]() What to expect - good and bad - for your zodiac sign in July 2022 How to find your Chiron Chiron is located between stern planet Saturn and rabble rousing Uranus and represents the balance we must strike between those energies. Other astronomers have fully adopted Chiron and taken to calling it the “rainbow bridge,” a pathway towards integrating the disparate energies of Saturn and Uranus into a cohesive whole. Because Chiron is a relatively new discovery, some old school or just plain old astrologers do not consider it. In astrology, and in simple terms, Saturn shows where we are restricted and Uranus points to where we rebel. Chiron orbits between two deeply different but equally powerful celestial bodies stern Saturn and unruly Uranus. What is Chiron?ĭiscovered by Scorpio astronomer Charles Kowal in 1977, Chrion was first identified as an asteroid but has since been reclassified as a minor planet with talks of upgrading its status to dwarf planet like death daddy Pluto. Chiron is the wound, or if you prefer, knot, we must suture or unspool in order to fully actualize.Ĭhiron points to where it hurts, and if we listen, it exists to teach us how to overcome ourselves and empower others. ![]() In astrology, Chiron refers to an asteroid/potential planet that falls within one of the twelve zodiac signs and one of the twelve zodiac houses. ![]() While most folk are familiar with their sun sign, can identify if they are fire or earth, have maybe even dipped a toe into the lunar pool of their moon signs, we are here to shine light and antiseptic on a lesser known, and more recently revered astrological influence Chiron.

Aftermath netflix5/15/2023 ![]() ![]() Viewers get to hear from many people involved, including Elize herself, making it a legitimate must-watch endeavor Netflix subscribers interested in great true crime stories should check out. But disturbing events reveal the house’s troubled history. The wife’s past life as a prostitute, the husband’s affair, Elize’s history in the medical field, devastating threats, and more are all just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Elize Matusnaga: Once Upon A Crime. AFTERMATH SYNOPSIS ON NETFLIX The official synopsis ofAftermath is the next : Desperate to save their marriage, a young couple makes a deal and moves into their dream home. ![]() So many things are showcased contributing to both sides of the case as to whether it was a crime of passion or premeditated play for money. But when the entire affair involving the investigation, case, and aftermath are looked at from the docuseries perspective, the story is even wilder than one could imagine. Kevin and Natalie have a tainted marriage, and they are pulling all the strings to reinstate peace in their lives. The murder of Marcos Matsunaga at the hands of his wife Elize Matsunaga, who cut the body of her rich spouse into pieces to get rid of the evidence, shocked the nation of Brazil. Aftermath is out on Netflix in most countries from August 4, 2021. The story begins in the aftermath of a visceral homicide, and the initial credit sequence (somewhat in the ubiquitous style of David Fincher) prepares us for what is to come. ![]() But then there are some that end up solving their problems through murder, and the docuseries Elize Matsunaga: Once Upon a Crime tells an engaging story involving a wealthy wife with a knack for dismembering her husband post-mortem. The creepy horror film is purportedly based on a true story and follows. Desperate to save their marriage, a young couple takes a deal and moves into their dream home, but disturbing events reveal the houses troubled history. BEEF, a new comedy-drama series starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun in the aftermath of a road-rage incident, is set to debut April 6. The brutal horror movie 'Aftermath' is taking over Netflix and currently sits on the streaming platform's trending list. Marriage is never easy, and every couple has their share of hard times they have to endure. Netflix will also unveil original films and series in April. A young couple struggling to stay together, when they are offered an amazing deal on a home with a questionable past that would normally be beyond their. The film, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Scoot McNairy, Maggie Grace, and Martin Donovan, was released on April 7, 2017, by Lionsgate Premiere.

Deep blue sea 35/15/2023 ![]() ![]() What pads the length is an abundance of action sequences that have little to no engagement with the story’s finned antagonists. In no way did this have to be one-hundred minutes long, and it would have survived with longer scenes curtailed or a few shorter ones removed altogether. The runtime is perhaps the most shocking thing about the movie. “It goes without saying Deep Blue Sea 3 is no patch on the original doesn’t stop this sequel from defying the odds and being simply enjoyable.” These moments are brief so unless you’re already looking for them, they’re easy to miss. Things do tend to get a tad dodgy-looking during underwater scenes - floating, freshly removed viscera amid a cloud of red looks oddly fine, but oncoming, darting sharks resemble crude video game models. It’s leaps above Syfy adjacent fare, if that’s any indicator of quality. The mix of digital and, to a lesser degree, puppetry looks fairly good for a direct-to-video feature. We’ve come to accept that shark movies these days will opt for CGI over practical simply out of ease and versatility. The fishing village, which was built on hydraulics, provides a great setting for this one-location actioner. It’s a breath of fresh air to watch a movie be so exposed and navigable. ![]() Taking full advantage of its locale, the movie favorably keeps almost every scene in the open sunlight rather than in the dark recesses of the ocean or in a dimly lit laboratory. It’s the backdrop of one of those “Wish you were here” postcards. Shot off the coast of picturesque Cape Town, South Africa, Deep Blue Sea 3 basks in its natural environment. When Emma‘s ex from grad school shows up with some shady colleagues, he incidentally lures a group of hyper-intelligent bull sharks to the once-peaceful community.Įven with only a reported $5-million budget, the sequel already looks far more striking than the prior movie. Emma Collins and her crew researching the effects of climate change on great whites in the area, all the while living at a nearly empty fishing village built on top of a coral reef. The studio neither broke the mold nor the bank with that one. The most sizable difference between the two, however, was the inclusion of baby sharks that acted more like cartoon piranha. Like in the first movie, scientists at an oceanic research facility are engineering super-smart sharks when their creations suddenly escape and turn on them. While the last movie left sharkophiles utterly disappointed, the newest entry easily outswims its predecessor.ĭeep Blue Sea 2 was essentially a low-rent cover version of the original. ![]() That’s right, the glorious 1999 blockbuster spawned its first sequel only two years ago. With Shark Week surfacing in the near future, there’s no better time to unleash the latest installment in the Deep Blue Sea franchise. ![]() |
