![]() New features are released monthly to give developers the best development experience.Īs I mentioned, VS Code is designed to be a code editor, not an IDE. VS Code is a free and open source code editor that comes with built-in support for JavaScript and multiple other languages and frameworks. Let’s take a look at some examples of these factors and other useful features in VS Code, WebStorm, IntelliJ IDEA, and Atom. You should also think about performance and ease of use, debugging capabilities, version control system (VCS), and extensibility. Support for JSX, a JavaScript syntax extension, is also paramount. Since React Native is written in JavaScript, you need an IDE that supports JavaScript to ensure it will support React Native as well.

If players want a cold but loveable jerk as a companion, make sure to hire this former raider, especially before (that is, if,) they decide to detonate Megaton's megaton.50. Like most human allies, his hit points aren't his strong suit, but he more than makes up for it with his strong SPECIAL stats and extensive weapon abilities. If someone's Lone Wanderer seeks a smarmy hitman for hire – with an extensive past among the Capital Wasteland and raider life – then Jericho is a perfect companion. He's a former raider, current resident of the city of Megaton, and optional companion should players have an evil enough karma. The last of Fallout 3's human companions, Jericho is undoubtedly an intriguing character. ![]() ![]() Likely wait times for the Rockit when it is in full service were difficult to judge as the ride was not running at full capacity during the test. It's a fairly basic up-and-down layout, with steps up to the ride platform at the end, and video screens mounted to the walls instructing guests on how to board the ride and select a song to listen to. There is no air conditioning but there are fans in the ceiling. ![]() The queuing area for the Rockit is outdoors, but undercover. That said, we'll try and deal with each section of the ride in turn and then wrap up with our overall impressions of the Rockit and how it compares to Florida's other major attractions. We'll try not to let our excitement color our judgement - but we were buzzing before we even set foot on the ride's loading platform. We're in Orlando on our honeymoon, and we weren't expecting at all to be part of a major ride opening. So what did we think of it?įirstly, we should be clear that it is incredibly difficult for us to be objective in our opinions. At TPT, we were incredibly fortunate to be in Orlando on vacation, and to be tipped off by a kindly team member that the ride was due to open tonight, on August 15. Read on for our first impressions.Īfter months of waiting, Universal Studios Orlando has finally allowed members of the public onto its newest super-headliner, the Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit. Theme Park Tourist was on hand to ride the Rockit as Universal Studios began a soft opening period for the new rollercoaster. ![]() The metallic paint on the grenades is also nice. I want to shout out the individual ninja stars that can act as weapons, but also plug into the belt just like they were affixed on the vintage figure. I also like all of the other painted details here be it on the figure itself, or in the many included weapons. I never had that version, but I like the dynamic colors breaking up the black, so I think Super7 made the correct choice here. ![]() There were a few different releases of the vintage Slash, and the old “pink belt” version is what is represented here. There are a few design notes here with some of the color choices/etc. All of the joints support the weight and balance Slash well. The joints are also good on this figure is that is SO important with a chunk of plastic this size. The sculpting detail covers every millimeter of this figure, so there is nary a spot where there isn’t some kind of texture or heightened point. This figure is an absolute CHONK and that build, combined with the similar neck articulation makes this figure recall ThunderCats U! Slithe in the very best way. Slash is the epitome of the Four Horsemen in their groove, and Slash’s design elements lend themselves so well to their strengths. All of the strengths of the series in general are running at full speed with this figure, and I am pretty positive Slash will be the runaway favorite figure in this assortment with most collectors. All that said, I can recognize that character aside, this is probably the best TMNT U! figure yet. That said, he does have a great design, so his vintage figure has always been a standout, even being another turtle. I don’t know, maybe it is the fact that I never saw a need for ANOTHER mutant turtle when there are so many other animal options out there. I will admit, I am not huge Slash fan in terms of the character, but I do recognize that he is most certainly a favorite in eyes of many a TMNT fan. My favorite of these, though is the Mouser remote and Baxter (or Shredder) can hold it perfectly to send these mechanical munchers into battle. Speaking of Splinter, you get pre-mutated version of him that harkens back to the vintage line, a slice of pickle pizza, and a busted ooze canister. You also get a repaint of the baby turtle x2 that was previously released with Splinter. The accessories here are mostly re-releases as you get a pair of sais with a heat-flashing deco, but these are actually the best sais Super7 has released thus far in terms of plastic quality. If you are in need of a Mouser army, getting a couple of these packs will do the trick right away. The battle damaged versions is a nice touch with a new upper head piece that has been beaten to a pulp, and paint deco on the body that also shows damage. The plastic on the legs might be a little different (not as rigid), but that notwithstanding, these are essentially the same figures. Again, if you have the Baxter Stockman figure, you know what you are getting with the standard three Mousers here. In this set you will get three standard Mousers, two battle-damaged Mousers, and variety of accessories. Well, Super7 is here for you and are offering this 5-pack that makes the prospect of putting together multiples of this guy a lot more approachable. The point is, the Mouser has only been previously available packed with Baxter Stockman, and when the standard price for an ULTIMATES! figure is $55.00, that makes army building these little guys pretty much out of the question. The multipack occupies the occasion “fifth figure” in the assortment as a re-release of sorts, but also as an opportunity to army build a notable character. Let’s take a look at each of these releases. Again, these were produced at the factory in China whereas 5 was made in Vietnam (you can check the legal lines in the packaging), so I REALLY hope the future series will continue along at the factory in China because there is a marked difference here. There might be some design choices you don’t align with, but the final figures are really good from a quality standpoint. There is going to be a lot of familiarity with the Mousers, but Slash is, of course, all new and I think a lot of collectors are going to consider him to be the best TMNT ULTIMATES! figure yet.Īs I mentioned before, after some issues with series 5 (particularly with joint strength) – series 6 is really solid from a production standpoint. Now, these figures share all of the strengths of the other three figures in that the paint is great, the material choices are good, and the articulation is rock solid. Today we will take a look at the two remaining releases in this sixth wave of ULTIMATES: Slash and the Mousers 5-pack. Now, if you missed our First Look from yesterday of Sewer Surfer Michelangelo, Ace Duck, and Scratch – you can check that out now. ![]() ![]() Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

It is an international platform where artists, actors and influencers push the boundaries of culture, politics and fashion through innovative couture. The Met Gala echoes the past extravagance of the masquerade and builds on it. The masquerade offered the beau monde (and anyone else who could afford a ticket) the opportunity to use fancy dress to express political views and occasionally transgress societal expectations, all while maintaining an exclusive space in widening leisure culture. They often flaunted thousands of pounds worth of valuable gems. Like actor Michaela Coel and singer Lil Nas X, who arrived at the Met Gala bedazzled from head to toe, masquerade participants knew jewels and diamonds signalled societal status. ![]() Meanwhile the Independent Chronicle judged: “The Countess Dowager of Waldegrave … wore a dress richly trimmed with beads and pearls and was truly elegant.” A ticket from one masquerade at London’s Carlisle House reminded participants to Muto, non ciecho – see all but say nothing. Once the fashionable bodies moved from the gilded frames of their carriages and sedan chairs into the safely guarded space of the masquerade venue, however, the evening’s frivolities stayed behind closed doors. The mob was beyond all belief they held flambeaux to the windows of every coach and demanded to have the masks pulled off and put on at their pleasure, but with extreme good humour and civility. Noted gossip and socialite Horace Walpole relayed his experience to a friend writing: The route to a masquerade was regularly lined with spectators who watched and judged the costumes as they passed. The masses, however, were essential to the success and cultural weight of the masquerade, just as fans and social media are essential in supporting or cancelling today’s celebrities. This, plus the expense of transportation and a basic costume raised the price to at least three guineas, further marking the masquerade as a watering hole of the glitterati, not the masses.

Author provided (no reuse)ĭuring a time of widening access to consumer goods and increasingly commercialised leisure entertainments (pleasure gardens, coffee houses and theatres), masquerade parties provided a place to flaunt status, taste and wealth through ostentatious and creative outfits.Īs an elite social space, the masquerade was controlled through strict subscription lists and extortionate prices, not unlike the Met Gala’s invitation-only policy.Įven with your name on the tightly guarded subscription list, according to my calculations the cost of a masquerade ticket averaged two guineas, (approximately £450 in 2023) which limited access to the top 4% of the population. The Chinese House, the Rotunda and the Company in Masquerade in Renelagh Gardens by Carington Bowles (c.17500. When Franz joined, lending her ethereal vocals to the mix, Heilung was complete.Ĭalling their style "amplified history," in 2015, they self-released their debut album, Ofnir, which attracted some attention. The two connected immediately and decided to create a musical project that would take listeners back to the Bronze Age, using ancient instruments and objects and Faust's otherworldly throat singing, with lyrics taken from original Viking rune inscriptions. Heilung was born when Faust visited Juul's studio, Lava, to record some poems, offering the engineer a tattoo as payment. Juul was brought up directly connected to these traditions, the son of a pagan priest in Copenhagen. Franz felt a sense of belonging and community after discovering her local Viking re-enactment society at the age of 11. He studied Tibetan throat singing and became a poet and a tattoo artist. As a youth, he rebelled against his parents and briefly embraced satanism before discovering shamanism and Viking culture. Brought up in a strict Christian home in rural Germany, Faust was forbidden television but encouraged to read, and he became fascinated by ancient pre-Christian traditions. ![]() Later, Norwegian singer Maria Franz ( Juul's girlfriend) joined the band. Heilung ("healing" in German) was formed in 2014 by German vocalist Kai Uwe Faust and Danish multi-instrumentalist and studio engineer Christopher Juul. The group has issued a string of acclaimed studio efforts ( Ofnir, Futha, Drif) and has had its music appear in video games, television, and film. Combining ancient melodies with otherworldly vocals, field recordings, dark ambient soundscapes, and shamanic rhythms, German, Norwegian, and Danish pagan folk act Heilung creates a trance-inducing blend that evokes the very dawn of civilization. ![]() In 1960, the meter was again redefined, this time in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. This changed in 1889, when the International prototype metre was established as the length of a prototype meter bar (made of an alloy of 90% platinum and 10% iridium) measured at the melting point of ice. History/origin: Originally, in 1793, the meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. This definition was slightly modified in 2019 to reflect changes in the definition of the second. The meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/299 792 458 of a second. ![]() Meterĭefinition: A meter, or metre (symbol: m), is the base unit of length and distance in the International System of Units (SI). The international foot corresponds to human feet with shoe size 13 (UK), 14 (US male), 15.5 (US female), or 46 (EU). Feet are also commonly used to measure altitude (aviation) as well as elevation (such as that of a mountain). In the US, feet and inches are commonly used to measure height, shorter distances, field length (sometimes in the form of yards), etc. While the United States is one of the few, if not only, countries in which the foot is still widely used, many countries used their own version of the foot prior to metrication, as evidenced by a fairly large list of obsolete feet measurements.Ĭurrent use: The foot is primarily used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for many everyday applications. This resulted in the measurement of a foot varying between 250 mm and 335 mm in the past compared to the current definition of 304.8 mm. ![]() The various lengths were due to parts of the human body historically being used as a basis for units of length (such as the cubit, hand, span, digit, and many others, sometimes referred to as anthropic units). History/origin: Prior to standardization of units of measurement, and the definition of the foot currently in use, the measurement of the foot was used in many different systems including the Greek, Roman, English, Chinese, and French systems, varying in length between each. One foot contains 12 inches, and one yard is comprised of three feet. A foot was defined as exactly 0.3048 meters in 1959.

When the royal decree went out in 1492 from Queen Isabella of Spain to fund Columbus’s first voyage, it read, “By these presents, we dispatch the noble man Christoforus Colón with three equipped caravels over the Ocean Seas toward the regions of India for certain reasons and purposes.” READ MORE: Why Columbus Day Courts Controversy on October 12 that land had been sighted.Ĭolumbus hadn’t found a western route to India, of course, but his success in crossing the Atlantic was due in large part to the ships he chose for the perilous voyage, particularly the diminutive Niña and Pinta, which were a speedy type of ship called a caravel. With the men close to mutiny against their “foreign” captain, Columbus was about to turn back when the cry went out at 2 a.m. The Santa Maria, Columbus’s flagship, was a larger, heavier cargo ship.įor 35 days, Columbus and his crew of 86 Spanish sailors sailed westward searching for a passage to China and India. Two of the ships, the Niña and Pinta, were tiny by today’s standards-only 50 to 70 feet from bow to stern-but prized for their speed and maneuverability. God bless you.On August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus and his crew set sail from the port of Palos in southern Spain on three vessels: la Santa Clara (Niña), la Pinta and la Santa Gallega (Santa Maria).

The turnbuckle can then spin without twisting the cables.Īs the tension is adjusted on one cable, it changes the tension on the other cables and the control surface position. This can be accomplished by inserting a bent welding rod or coat hanger through the holes in both cable ends. When making tension adjustments, the cables need to be held in place so they don’t twist as the turnbuckle is rotated. 041” safety wire or turnbuckle clips that slide in and lock the barrel so that it can’t turn. The turnbuckle has a circle etched around the end that has left-hand thread and is secured with. The cables have threaded ends that are swedged onto the cable itself with a hole to accommodate safety wire. ![]() Turnbuckles are threaded internally with one side having left-hand thread and the other having right-hand thread. The tensiometer gives the most accurate reading for a cable tension when the tension is measured along a freestanding section of the cable, away from pulleys or turnbuckles. They are calibrated by hanging weights from a cable in a vertical plane and measuring the tension on the cable and comparing it to the suspended weight. Note: Tensiometers are relatively expensive ($800 to $900) and must be calibrated occasionally, so it may be best to rent or borrow one from a shop. ![]() They also have a correction chart based on the cable size that gives an actual reading for the indicated reading. Tensiometers have different blocks that are inserted for different cable sizes. Most cables are 1/8-inch while trim tab cables are usually 1/16-inch in diameter. A tensiometer is used to check the tension on each cable. When properly adjusted, most planes will have a certain amount of “droop” where the trailing edges of both ailerons hang down a little below the trailing edges of both flaps.īefore any adjustments are made, the next step is to check the cable tensions to determine baseline readings.Īileron systems actually have three cables: two cables connect the left and right bellcranks to the control wheels, and a third, “carry–through” cable connects the two bellcranks to each other. Next, with the flaps in the retracted position, look at the position of the trailing edges of both ailerons in relation to the trailing edges of the flaps. When rigging the ailerons, a long, straight piece of metal, about the size of a yardstick, is first placed across the tops of the control wheels and secured in place to keep the wheels neutralized together. The ailerons are usually the most time-consuming system to rig. When checking rigging and tension in a flight control system, the first step is to put the stick/yoke in a neutral position, or the position recommended by the manufacturer for the particular system being adjusted. Just as an automobile needs occasional alignments and adjustments to make it steer properly and track straight without pulling left or right, an airplane control system must be adjusted at times to ensure that the airplane flies straight and level. These cables transmit the motion applied by the pilot at the stick/yoke to the control surface. The flight control system in most airplanes consists of a series of bellcranks and rods that connect the flight control surface (aileron, rudder, or elevator) to a series of cables that run through the wings and fuselage to the yoke or stick.
