![]() Namor has telepathic abilities from his Atlantean heritage that allow to him to communicate and command not only sea life, but also fellow Atlantean soldiers, if need be. He can go toe-to-toe with some of the strongest beings on Earth and come out unscathed, especially when underwater or doused with H2O, which increases his strength by extreme degrees. Namor is stronger and tougher than most any human or Atlantean. But his turbulent relationship with humanity remains far from settled. Namor also fights alongside a similar team, the All-Winners Squad, after the war comes to an end. Together with Human Torch, Thomas Raymond, AKA Toro, Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America, and Bucky Barnes (later known as the Winter Soldier), among other heroes, he helps fight the Axis around the world. To that end, Namor joins the Invaders, America's fighting force against them. Namor wants the surface world to know that Atlantis would not to be trifled with.ĭuring World War II, Namor allies with members of the surface world for the first time, sensing the danger to all humanity should the Axis powers win. Huge, destructive battles against Jim Hammond, AKA Human Torch, are frequent, as well as massive wars against the military. Coming back into possession of the stone thanks to Dorma’s pet fish, Ambrose, who secures it, it seems their mission was worth it, but it kicks off a rivalry between Namor and Attuma that would last for a century.Īs he grows to adulthood, he frequently leads attacks against the surface world for their perceived transgressions against his people. The Swift Tide rampage across the ocean, destroying Attuma’s home and family and Namor, Dorma, and Attuma are too late to stop it. Though when they find it, it releases a dark Eldritch energy that corrupts their allies from the Swift Tide, turning them into vicious and murderous creatures. As a young prince, Namor joins with Lady Dorma and Attuma of the Chasm people, and with their Atlantean allies, the Swift Tide, to set out on a mission to retrieve a powerful magical relic, The Unforgotten Stone. His mutant power of flight manifests during his youth. Namor's name means "Avenging Son" in Atlantean, and he certainly lives up to it as a young prince of Atlantis. Though they’re separated soon after, Fen gives birth to their son, Namor. An unlikely friendship begins instead, and eventually McKenzie and Fen fall in love and are married. This gains the attention of Atlantean Princess Fen, who sneaks aboard his vessel to investigate the potential enemy. Absorbing all that energy more than John could handle, and he exploded, never to be seen again.The story of Namor begins when his human father, explorer Leonard McKenzie, uses explosive charges in the process of discovery that inadvertently causes damage to Atlantis. With his new abilities, he was able to drain the energy from Iron Fist, who showed up to save Luke, but again, it proved to be too much. In the process, John was somehow revived and opted to take control of his son's body, going under the title "Power Master" now that he could absorb the energies of others. Cruz kidnapped and sent Luke and his father's remains to an island fortress in the hopes of correcting the negative effects of what had become known as the "Power Man Process." He liked his father's plan of getting superpowers and decided to get in on the action, but things went horribly wrong for him. It wasn't long after that his body completely crumbled and a metal skeleton remained.īut even that wasn't enough to keep Bushmaster down, as John's son Cruz came into play later following his father's death during Luke's solo book Cage in 1992. When Iron Fist showed up to rescue Luke, who was planned to be used as guinea pig for Bushmaster first to make sure everything worked, his transformation accelerated and turned him into immobile steel. Instead, his body continued to mutate into unliving metal, and he quickly demanded that Burnstein reverse the process. Luke clearly survived, albeit without his powers for a while, but Bushmaster? Not so much. It proved to be a success, and he was even more powerful than Luke, but in the midst of their climactic fight, a chemical vat was pierced and an electrical line was hit. Later, Bushmaster went to Seagate Prison, where he convinced Noah Burnstein to repeat the process that powered Luke Cage on him.

I haven't tested this yet, but I'm assuming it will only work if your connected to WIFI and the device is charging or turned on. You can even set a time of day for it to sync, previously added playlist in case of changes since last update. You can select playlists individually or select to fill it up. The app automatically sync's with Spotify on your phone to show playlists you can select to add for download to the Mighty player. Good - Once I finally figured out the app interface (which again, was confusing) set up was fairly easy and strait forward. I'm sure they had their reasons for doing this, but as a user who doesn't care about all that – it’s annoying. I don't like that I have to navigate between Spotify and Mighty to update, add, sync, etc. Why in the world are there two apps? It would have been much more convenient to control the Mighty player (That's made exclusively for Spotify) from Spotify, as a plugin or something like that. As a Web Developer/ Designer, I equate that to bad design and in this day and age, just feel it's unacceptable.īad - The Spotify / Mighty app separation. Ultimately, I think I spent a good hour trying to figure out the app with all its little nuances. Then, when trying to sync initially, the Mighty player kept connecting, and disconnecting. ![]() It took me some time to figure out how to connect the Mighty player to the app, then even more time to realize that you can’t sync songs unless your connected to WI-FI. However, the manual referred to "white" lights, that I found out through deductive reasoning where actually "pink" on the model I purchased. When I downloaded the app, it included a walkthrough of the Mighty players interface, to describe the various lights and buttons. Good - Instruction manual was short and sweet and directed me to download the Mighty app, where I would be led through setup.īad - The Mighty app in general. So, it was comforting to know that all it does is play music!! The design was simple and no digital interface to figure out! I feel like every device I own is trying to take over my life and think for me. Good - When it arrived, I liked the size and the simplicity of the device. However, I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for, so I don't mind spending close to $100 for something, If I believe it will work. ![]() The Mighty was a bit more expensive then I would have liked to spend, mainly because I had never heard of it. Initially I stumbled across the Mighty player, when looking for something to play my music during workouts to replace my huge iPhone 8 Plus! Initially I wanted an ipod shuffle, but once I realized Apple discontinued them, I began looking for an alternate solution. This was to give myself time to use the Mighty player in a few workouts and give it a fighting chance. I used it for about a week before I wrote a review. A small price to pay for a detraction free workout I guess. Ultimately, I’d say the average person would be happy with this device, but it may take some getting use to. Overall, - I gave the Mighty 3 stars, because there is an even balance of things I like and dislike about it overall. #declare look_at_z = (Max.z - Min.z) / 2 #declare look_angle = degrees(tanh((Max.z - Min.z) / (bottom_diag / 2))) #debug concat("box_diag:", str(box_diag, 5, 0)) #declare box_diag = sqrt(pow(bottom_diag, 2) + pow(Max.z - Min.z, 2)) #debug concat("bottom_diag:", str(bottom_diag, 5, 0)) ![]() #declare bottom_diag = sqrt(pow(Max.y - Min.y, 2) + pow(Max.x - Min.x, 2)) #declare Max = max_extent(m_OpenSCAD_Model) #declare Min = min_extent(m_OpenSCAD_Model) You’ll need to replace ‘m_OpenSCAD_Model’ with the name of your own model in the ‘my_model.pov’ below. Open up ‘my_model.inc’ with a text editor, and note what name it declares the model. Next, we declare the rendering instructions for the POV file, called ‘my_model.pov’. Then use the compiled executable stl2pov to convert your STL to a POV include file with: Download the project and compile using ‘make’. We can data dump the STL file into my_model.inc by using an old C program called stl2pov. We’ll put the data in a file called ‘my_model.inc’, and then include it in ‘my_model.pov’, which contains the rendering instructions of the POV file. First, we’re going to put the data and the rendering instructions different files for clarity. ![]() POV files can contain both the data of the model, and the instructions of how to render the scene, such as how much lightning, and what position and angle to put the camera.Ī tutorial on the ins and outs of a POV file would be beyond the scope of this post, but we can start with a simple one. We’ll need to convert them into a format they can read, which are POV files. However, povray doesn’t directly read STL files. If you’re using ubuntu, you can install it using aptitude If you’re on a mac, you can install it using homebrew. ![]() We’ll be using a raytracer called Pov-ray. There are different ways to do this, but here I’ll detail the manual way to render images from STL files. Raytracers are pretty sophisticated programs that can generate very realistic scenes, but for us, our models and scenes are relatively simple, so they don’t take very long. They do this by modeling how light bounces travels from a light source, bounces off an object, and gets captured by the camera. To convert STL files to images, you use programs called raytracers, which take a 3D model or scene, and render it as a picture. Soon, we’ll release a library that does this for you. So how do you render or convert STL files to images? Here, we’ll detail a manual way to do it. We can render a model to provide image previews ![]() As you know, this kind of software (as well as Adobe Premiere) can be very complex and can't be mastered without plenty of patience and effort. However, if you're going to download the program and you're only a beginner, you had better get hold of a tutorial.

Simply an anonymous prisoner giving a piece of his bread to someone who was hungrier than he or she, a father shielding his child, a mother trying to hold back her tears so her children would not see her pain.

You hear me say occasionally that there must be light at the end of the tunnel. In murdering them, the killers deprived the human family of its future. One of them might have invented a cure for AIDS, or composed a text of such humanity that all the racists would be silenced to shame. Among those children there were future scientists, physicians, scholars, statesmen, writers, poets, philanthropists. We must remember the old men and women whispering ancient prayers, and the children, we must always remember the children, frightened and forlorn, all part of a nocturnal procession walking towards the flames, rising to the highest heavens. We must remember, we must remember the times of cruelty and suffering when in the darkest of all places, in man's world, day after day, hour after hour, the killers killed, the victims perished. this fiery memory remains and we, you and I, you and all of us, now are its very privileged custodians.

They left us without a trace, and we are their trace. Read excerpts below from Elie Wiesel's Days of Remembrance addresses. In recent years, modern materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, aluminum, etc., have been used more and more for shafts and butts. While there are many custom cuemakers, a very large number of quality pool cues are manufactured in bulk. A conical taper, with the shaft gradually shrinking in diameter from joint to ferrule, is favored by some, but the "pro" taper is increasingly popular, straight for most of the length of the shaft from ferrule back, flaring to joint diameter only in the last 1⁄ 4 to 1⁄ 3 of the shaft. Pool cues average around 59 inches (150 cm) long, are commonly available in 17–21 ounces (0.48–0.60 kg) weights, with 19 ounces (0.54 kg) being the most common, and usually have a tip diameter in the range of 12 to 14 mm. A third variety is another two-piece cue, but with a joint located three-quarters down the cue (usually 12 or 16 inches away from the butt), known as a "three-quarter two-piece", used by snooker players.Ī typical two piece cue for pocket billiards is usually made mostly of hard or rock maple, with a fiberglass or phenolic resin ferrule, usually 0.75 to 1 inch (19 to 25 mm) long, and steel joint collars and pin. ![]() A second type is the two-piece cue, divided in the middle for ease of transport, usually in a cue case or pouch. ![]() They have a uniform taper, meaning they decrease in diameter evenly from the end or butt to the tip. The simplest type is a one-piece cue these are generally stocked in pool halls for communal use. Pool and snooker cues average around 57–59 inches (140–150 cm) in length and are of three major types. " English", an American term for sidespin, derives from the British discovery of sidespin's effects, as "massé" comes from the French word for "mace". He called it "twisting powder", and the magical impression this gave the public enabled him to sell it for a higher price than if they realized it was simply chalk in a small box. Between Carr and Bartley, it was discovered how " side" ( sidespin) could be used to the advantage of players, and Carr began selling chalk in small boxes. The first systematic marketing of chalk was by John Carr, a marker in John Bartley's billiard rooms in Bath. In pre-tip days, it was common for players to twist the ends of their cue into a plaster wall or ceiling so that a chalk-like deposit would form on the end to reduce the chance of a miscue, thus giving rise to the modern billiard chalk. Mingaud is also credited with the discovery that by raising the cue vertically, to the position adopted by the mace, he could perform what is now known as a massé shot. In 1807, he was released and demonstrated his invention. François Mingaud was studying the game of billiards while being held in Paris as a political prisoner, and experimented with a leather cue tip. striking the bottom of the cue ball to make it go backwards upon contact with an object ball. The concept of spin on the cue ball was discovered before cue-tips had been invented e.g. The idea of the cue initially was to try to strike the cue-ball as centrally as possible to avoid a miscue. The introduction of the cue, and the new game possibilities it engendered, led to the development of cushions with more rebound, initially stuffed with linen or cotton flocking, but eventually replaced by rubber. ![]() In public billiard rooms only skilled players were allowed to use the cue, because the fragile cloth could be torn by novices. The term "cue" comes from queue, the French word for "tail", in reference to this practice, a style of shooting that eventually led to the development of separate, footless cue sticks by about 1800, used initially as adjuncts to the mace, which remained in use until well into the 19th century. When the ball was frozen against a rail cushion, use of the mace was difficult (the foot would not fit under the edge of the cushion to strike the ball squarely), and by 1670 experienced players often used the tail or butt end of the mace instead. The forerunner of the cue was the mace, an implement similar to a light-weight golf club, with a foot that was generally used to shove rather than strike the cue ball. ![]() Man playing billiards with cue and woman with mace, from an illustration in Michael Phelan's 1859 book, The Game of Billiards ![]() Flavored oils are more perishable than unflavored oils and should be refrigerated. Try this same technique with lemons or limes and use the oil with great effect on chicken and pork. Sprinkle with the remaining serrano, if desired, and drizzle with a little more of the dressing.Ĭitrus-flavored oils marry well with grilled foods. Gently toss in avocados and divide the salad among 4 plates. Remove from heat and set aside for assembly. Prawns are cooked when flesh turns opaque, and there is nice golden char on each side. Heat grill pan over high heat and cook prawns for 1-2 minutes on each side. Gently toss the shrimp, grapefruit segments, lettuce, basil, and 12 teaspoon serrano with 14 cup of the dressing. Add prawns to marinate for 15-20 minutes. Brush shrimp with olive oil and grill, turning once, until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in the infused grapefruit oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest of the oil in a steady stream to make a slightly thick dressing.
