An Ethiopian operator was at the scene and filmed the event,” he said.Īccording to Professor Ayele Bekerie of Cornell University, who penned a recent article on the subject for Tadias Magazine, the biblical relic, which is a central tenet of the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian faith, has been a source of puzzlement and speculation by generations of foreign travelers and researchers alike. The Arc of the Covenant was taken out and it was shown to me. He could not talk to me, because priests do not talk during Lent.

This sleeve constitutes a safety issue because it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the available case volume. 210" of the case mouth, and is easily seen during a case inspection. 035" thick internal sleeve that serves to both reinforce the case in the head area, and to prevent bullet set-back. This boxer primed brass is apparently Russian production, and from the outside looks like good, reloadable brass. Maxxtech 9mm Brassīe alert for 9mm brass carrying the "MAXXTECH" headstamp!! This one came from Cast Boolits and was posted in September of 2016 I found several reference like the one I cut and pasted below. So today with a little help from the interwebz I know a little more about it. I've seen it in the ammo cabinets at retail stores and in catalogs but never had any experience with it. Then I look at the head stamp and I realize it is not Magtech but MaxxTech. The inside of the case was too well formed with the cavity going down to the flash hole being perfect. Then after thinking about that a minute I thought that can't be. When I looked down into the mouth of the case it looked as if the inside was sleeved about half way up the inside so my first thought was that it was short stroked when it was press formed but slipped through QC. I looked at the head stamp and I initially thought it said Magtech which I know I've reloaded some and never had a problem with. Visual inspection of the case and it looked normal and very clean. I unscrewed the decapping rod and removed it and put a punch down in it and started tapping with increasing intensity and about when I thought we needed to try another method it budged a little and a few more taps and it was out. When I get there I put a little extra force on it just shy up ripping the rim off and or deforming the shell plate and yep, it's stuck. Now I know he's using carbide resizing dies and I know he cleans his brass before reloading so I said don't do anything else I want to see it. So I tell him he has a stuck case and believe it or not his first one since he started loading about 4 months ago. He tells me that on the the upstroke, as you push the down, he could hear (a distinct sound on a Dillon if you have one) the spent primer pop out of the case being resized and then everything locked up. So after a couple of months of rolling along and reloading everything he can get his hands on he gives me a call. Not that it really matters what kind of press he has but it's a Dillon 650XL. He's well seasoned in shot shell reloading so the learning curve was minimal but of course, he made the usual Uhh Ohhs we all make at first and then occasionally along the way due to negligence or just momentary lack of undivided attention. I have a shooting friend that started reloading metallic case ammo earlier this year. Mostly an FYI and curious if anyone else has experience with Maxxtech Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using the Brave browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse, then send that data back to a third party, essentially spying on your browsing habits.We strongly recommend you stop using this browser until this problem is corrected. The latest version of the Opera browser sends multiple invalid requests to our servers for every page you visit.The most common causes of this issue are: Only equipped pets contribute to damage, so only upgrade (past level 10) as many pets as you can equip.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. Trouts are an exception as trouts provide a large boost at level 100 for slap damage. You could stop at level 96 for example, and get the same amount of damage proportional to the amount of resources spent. There is nothing super special about level 100. The cost of each level is roughly proportional to the increase in damage. Question: Should I level pets/uniques/equipment/tools evenly or max one at a time?Īnswer: It generally doesn't matter. *** A maxed trout gives a special bonus at level 100, equivalent to 100 additional levels. With that in mind I don't recommend upgrading fisho. Fisho will give <1% slap damage boost with the minimum recommendation, and that value decreases as you start to max your trout. Your 3rd 4th and 5th max pets can be anything else, no other pets will meaningfully boost your damage over the rest. ** Pets and unique leaves need to be equipped to get the damage bonus, hence crab and butterfly.

It’s available to buy now and prices vary. That’s a shame, because it has the processing prowess and polish for a much more than a visual showcase. The handling is fine, though can be mastered quickly, but it’s the threadbare narrative that really lets the game down. Simply put, games like GT Sport, Project Cars 2.0 and Forza Horizon 4 are able to foster a sense of momentum throughout – whereas DiRT 5 gets monotonous pretty quickly. Not the rewarding experience you get from similarly upbeat titles like Need for Speed. I found myself skipping the narrative, selecting the next race, winning it and repeating until my eyes began to burn. Dirt 5 has found itself to be the sole racer in the next-gen lineup for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, with the genre renowned for showcasing the graphical horsepower of new. However, it’s clear this game caters towards very casual fans its career system is easy to dip into – but so shallow, it’s hard to enjoy for sustained periods. After a while though, even the graphics aren’t enough to keep you playing. And the drifting stages and larger 4×4 cars – in which you have to navigate tricky topography in races – keep things varied content-wise. The difficulty ramps up a little, and after a while you’ll need to start using techniques such as countersteer and handbrake turns to continue to win. Not particularly challenging, but still enjoyable for those that like racing games. The visuals are backed up by a fun, arcade-style handling engine that means you can easily pick up and play with a pad: I won my first 20-odd races without upgrading to a better car, and many of them were won by a few seconds. Night races, particularly those in poor weather look jaw-dropping. There are moments that’re obviously next-gen sunlight shimmering through tree canopies or massive moonlight reflecting on rain water, but there are extra details you only notice later.įor example, the droplets of rainwater on windscreens look incredibly real, as do minute particles of pyrotechnics that are set off throughout night races. The layouts of the tracks to go with them aren’t particularly memorable – it’s hard to have a favourite – but the graphics involved in them and the cars are truly impressive. What’s more, the cars can be customized, if you’re willing to fiddle with paints and decals – though not tuned mechanically. DIRT 5 works with crossplay between Xbox One and Windows PC/Steam, PS4, PS5, XBox Series S/X, Google Stadia and Amazon Luna. From the Ariel Nomad Tactical to the Volkswagen Race Touareg 3, DiRT 5 features a surprisingly in-depth garage – which isn’t what you’d expect after booting it up. Yes, DIRT 5 is crossplay compatible with Xbox. Still, it’s far harder to be cynical about the car list, which features a great blend of old classics and new cars you’ll want to try out. That means the UI and general aesthetic of the game looks like an interactive Nandos menu there’s a podcast/radio show that talks you through the cheesy narrative, and there’s plenty of pumping EDM and colours to keep you awake throughout the menus. it is a standard, taught in most of the schools and used in most large companies, that aspect facilitates file exchanges between users.This is hard-to-get quality when the program comes from a decentralised and less-organised community, as Open source programs are. the completion: the Matlab package is consistent, neat and reliable.For instance, a single homogeneous environment includes all the tools required to achieve the designing of a reliable control system, and its prototyping in real time: this represents a decisive asset. its wealth: The Matlab environment includes a wide range of tools for several domains.This aspect ensures the good guidance of future releases to users.

The experience turned them off making another game in the same vein. It wasn't like that, but people didn't see it that way." "We tried to just make it variety-based, rather than 'you can buy overpowered weapons'. They don't like microtransactions." A free-to-play game, it featured weapon packs for sale, which made players accuse it of being 'pay-to-win'. "We took what we'd learned from Bad Eggs and we tried to apply it to a Steam market," John says, "and the backlash there was huge. Broken Ground was their first real failure. It launched in April of 2018, and exactly five months later they announced they were shutting down the servers. "It was basically like Bad Eggs, but a bit more grown up." "We wanted to try to handle a PC game for the Steam market, because we hadn't released anything on Steam." Their first attempt was another artillery game, this time with a straightforward military theme, called Broken Ground. "I guess we wanted to do something a bit bigger as well," Rob says. What they knew was PC gaming, which also seemed like a perfect place to attempt something a little more ambitious. "We brought them over to mobile and then it grew from that," Rob says,"but we didn't really know how to put a game on mobile and have it grow organically, or market it or anything like that." Though the brothers could have continued making mobile games, they attribute the success of Bad Eggs Online 2 on phones to the fact the first game found an audience on Flash. They were motivated to look at other platforms when, as Rob puts it, "the Flash game market started drying up." Adobe and Microsoft stopped supporting it at the end of 2020, and Chrome stopped supporting it at the start of 2021. They followed it with a sequel for mobile, Bad Eggs Online 2, and despite Rob's comment about the difficulty of competing in the mobile market, John notes that people "are still people playing it to this day." "I guess you can look at the mobile market and, yes, you can churn stuff out quickly there, but to actually compete with anyone…"īad Viking's first "big success" was Bad Eggs Online, a multiplayer game about eggs at war, "an artillery game based on Worms, essentially," John says. "There's nothing comparable really to that now," Rob goes on. Pondskater took only weeks to make, and even the more advanced games the two made together were completed and released quickly enough they could pay for themselves in a short amount of time. "Now, if you want to make money from games, starting out, I don't know how you do it because there isn't that model of 'make stuff in a couple of months, put something out there'." "In those days it was so much easier," Rob says. we didn't really know how to put a game on mobile and have it grow organically Rob Donkin "We're still here 10 years later, which is remarkable really." "We just sort of stuck with it and started making more Flash games and then set up our company together," John says. It racked up a decent player count and suggested they made a good team. Their first joint release was The Adventures of Red (opens in new tab), an adventure game where you solved puzzles on a quest for a chocolate muffin. Now all you’ll need is some content for your server.Īside from adding your own content, you can still add unofficial channels in Plex to get more movies. You’ll see that Plex has refreshed to show you your Plex Media Server contents, sorted by the type of content hosted on your primary Plex server computer. Once Plex is installed on your home computer and you’re able to access your server, install the app on the device of your choice. Still, it’s not a bad deal if you’re looking for some extra power behind your version of Plex. Plex Plus costs $4.99 per month, but is absolutely unnecessary to use in standard more. For starters, Plex Pass allows you to record television over the air for free with the use of an antenna, you can download your content offline to use without a cell signal, listen to your music through a specialized Plex player application, and even automatically see movie trailers in front of films downloaded to your device to create the movie theater-like experience. We should also mention that, though Plex is free to start, the company does have a paid plan called Plex Pass that gives you some extra benefits to your normal service. If you don’t have a desktop PC, a laptop will suffice, though you won’t be able to access your Plex content if your computer goes into sleep mode or hibernation. Plex works best with computers that can constantly run in the background for example, using a desktop computer with a large hard drive instead of using a laptop that constantly goes into sleep mode will be better for operating a server on a consistent basis. If, however, you haven’t yet set up Plex and created an account to stream your media from, you’ll need to do that before using Plex to get more movies. If you already have a Plex Media Server instance running on your laptop or desktop, you can continue down to the next part of the guide. Getting more movies by adding your own should need no explanation. These are movies you own and can play directly through the Plex Media Player. DVDs, Blu-rays or MP4s that you have uploaded to your Plex Media Server. And of course, you could also add local content.

Since we are mobile, we can cruise to wherever the bears are, following them from bay to bay depending on weather and sea conditions. The Ursus (which means "bear" in Latin) cruises slowly along the coast, where we commonly find brown bears, or coastal grizzlies, foraging for food. Since retrofitted for custom tourism charters, this sturdy veteran of Alaskan waters now offers our guests comfortable accommodations in this remote marine wilderness. Its successor, the second Time Bandit, gained fame in the Discovery Channel TV series "Deadliest Catch." The original boat was later transitioned for research use by the National Park Service and Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The 73-foot Ursus was built as a deep-sea fishing boat called Time Bandit, which navigated the stormy Bering Sea in pursuit of the lucrative king crab catch. Exiting the plane, we embark the vessel that will be our floating home for the next several days. The pilot is in radio contact with the Ursus, and soon we're taxiing along the water to pull up alongside. Once on board, we fly west over Kodiak's steep green mountains and across Shelikof Strait to the Katmai Peninsula, where the backbone of the ice-crowned Aleutian Range rises behind the shoreline. Our plan is to fly out late morning, but timing is flexible in the event of weather delays, in which case we'll explore more of Kodiak as we wait for the clouds to lift. The day has arrived: We're off to see the bears! And we reach them via a classically Alaskan means of transport: a floatplane journey from Kodiak to Katmai to meet our privately chartered ship, the Natural Habitat Ursus. We'll also tour historic Kodiak, with a mix of activities that may include a walk through the coastal rain forest at Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park, a fisheries research center with aquarium and touch tank, and/or a drive up Pillar Mountain for sweeping views over the town and sea, when weather permits.ĭay 3: Kodiak / Floatplane to Katmai-Board Natural Habitat Ursus Kodiak is remote, not often visited by travelers to Alaska, and our sense of an intimate encounter with nature is palpable as we glide among its rockbound coves and islands. A cruise among Kodiak’s secluded bays and rocky shorelines, past tidal pools and kittiwake rookeries, may reveal sea otters, puffins, bald eagles, sea lions and sometimes humpback and fin whales. While Katmai's brown bears will be our main focus, Kodiak Island is an impressive wildlife destination in its own right, and today we explore a sampler of its coastal waters on a day-long private boat trip. Our grizzly adventure officially begins this evening with an informal welcome dinner and orientation hosted by our local guide. All are centrally located in the compact town of Kodiak that surrounds St. Options include the Kodiak History Museum, Alutiiq Museum, Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Cathedral and Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center. Depending on your arrival time, you may be able to explore some of Kodiak's Russian and Native heritage on your own this afternoon. On your arrival in Kodiak, our local guide meets you and transfers you to our hotel, pointing out sights along the way.
