Intelligence measures to detect or jam enemy units using radar and sonar, the ability to cloak or provide stealth shielding for units, and the means to revive destroyed units from their wreckages. Variables such as gravity, tides, and wind to disrupt the effectiveness of certain weapon types or to enhance resource production. Highly advanced weaponry, including lasers, energy machine guns (EMGs), starburst missiles, plasma shells, lightning pulses, paralyzers, and nuclear warheads. Single-player skirmish battles and full multiplayer support, allowing players to watch and join battles, and form allied teams to share resources, information, and units. More powerful units and weapons are gradually unlocked throughout the campaigns after specific missions or events. Mission objectives include protecting a vital structure or area, capturing a pivotal enemy unit, or simply eliminating all enemy units. ![]() The stories of either the Core or the Arm start with an effort to defend the protagonist's home world and initiate a turning point in the war, followed by a series of battles on numerous planets and moons (using Galactic Gates as a form of faster-than-light transportation), before a final strike on the enemy's home world: either on the Arm's bucolic Empyrean or the Core's artificial Jupiter Brain world of Core Prime. ![]() Of course, these requirements were for computers in 1997 modern day machines easily exceed those recommended specifications, but it is still recommended to have a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM for the updated game engine.ĭetailed and exciting campaigns that focus on their respective side's leaders, the Commanders. When TA was released, the minimum computer requirements were a Pentium 100 MHz processor and 16 MB of RAM. Two expansion packs were released: The Core Contingency on April 30, 1998, and Battle Tactics exactly 2 months later on June 30, 1998. It was released on September 30, 1997, and was the first RTS game to feature 3D units and terrain. Total Annihilation (TA) is a real-time strategy (RTS) video game created by Cavedog Entertainment under the guidance of lead designer Chris Taylor. A war lasting 4,000 years followed, with the Arm mass-producing clones as pilots for its vehicles and the Core duplicating consciousness-embedded microchips to pilot its own machines. However, the balance is broken by a technological breakthrough that allows the consciousness of a human being to be reliably transferred into a machine, thereby theoretically granting infinite life, in a process called "patterning." Following a mandate imposed on humanity by the Core requiring everyone to undergo patterning as a public health measure, a rebel band is formed out of colonies from the edges of the galaxy (hence their name, the Arm), whose members refused to leave their natural bodies to join the Core's machines. The Core's technological and economic triumphs have allowed humanity to colonize most of the Milky Way and enjoy peace and prosperity. In the distant future, the galaxy is ruled by a central body of humans and artificial intelligences called the Core (a contraction of "Consciousness Repository"). For each side, the only acceptable outcome is the complete elimination of the other. Both sides now crippled beyond repair, the remnants of their armies continue to battle on ravaged planets, their hatred fuelled by over four thousand years of total war. The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a galaxy in their struggle for domination. What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machines escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds.

It weighed more than 2 tonnes, and like SUVs of the past, came with a four-wheel drive that could be engaged or disengaged by turning a knob. ![]() The older Safari Storme was a body-on-frame SUV, just like any trusted, rugged SUV of that era. The new Safari’s advantage in power will majorly be evident on the road, where it can cruise at triple-digit speeds easily with the help of that added horsepower. On the road, it simply took a slight prod from your right foot to execute a highway overtake. The Storme’s generous torque was necessary for going off-road. While it has the Storme beaten in outright power, the Varicor400 engine of the Safari Storme still pumped out a lot more torque. In contrast, the new Safari uses a 2.0-litre diesel engine from Fiat that pumps out 170PS and 350Nm of torque, and uses a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Though the new 400Nm engine was out, the older 320Nm unit was still on sale in the lower variants of the Safari Storme. In the later years, Tata squeezed out a 156PS and 400Nm from this engine! The transmission was updated to a six-speed manual to handle the added output. Initially, this engine would pump out 140PS and 320Nm of torque and drive the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The Safari Storme used to have a 2.2-litre diesel engine (like that in the Tata Hexa) underneath its bonnet. But with a height of 1922mm, it is the Safari Storme that towers over its sibling. There’s a massive difference in the wheelbase too, with the new Safari once again coming out on top. Being an SUV, it can still be considered tall, but not tall enough anymore to have the same kind of upright stance the Safari Storme boasted.Īs you can see in the table above, the new Safari is slightly longer and a fair bit wider than the Safari Storme. Tata has worked on the SUV from all angles, giving it a more polished and refined look which has led to it looking less imposing and more classy. On the other hand, the new Safari features a very intricate design based on the Harrier. ![]() This gave the Safaris an evergreen look, which, although not reminiscent of modern-day car designs, could still hold its own in the company of the newer lot. There were clean lines in the Safari Storme’s design and the previous iterations of the Tata SUV. So exactly how well does the new Safari stack up when pitted against the Safari Storme?įor years, the Safari had been a brute with a tall, upright stance, that could bully other cars on the road. Set to go up against the MG Hector Plus and the upcoming Mahindra XUV500, the new Safari, previously called the 'Gravitas', now has one more adversary in the Safari Storme. Tata's resurrection of the Safari nameplate has suddenly put a lot more pressure on the upcoming seven-seater SUV.

Realistic fiction is a great genre to compare with your own life. I could never wait for my next class period to read this amazing book and I can't wait to read the previous book in the series. This book is funny and encourages me to get on a basketball court and shoot hoops. I thought I was going to hate the realistic fiction genre and never find the right book but I did. Meanwhile, the twin with a broken arm and Russell become friends and the team was back together and winning. Owen was happier than ever because he got his team back but when he was convinced to help the healthy twin get better, they become friends. ![]() ![]() The other healthy twin was terrible without his brother. After their second game, which was a loss even with the twins, one of them broke their arm. They are all stars in academics and basketball and they ruin Owen and Russ's playing. Everything is going great in the team until two twins from Minnesota, Mitch and Marcus, come and own the team. Mark is about two brothers, Russell and Owen, who are on a basketball team together for their school called the Pioneers. The cover is appealing and bright, I think it would be a great book to add to your sports fiction section.ĮL –ADVISABLE Reviewer: Stephanie Elementary School Librarian & Author.ĭouble Dribble by W. The main character tries to find a balance between academics and sports, and coming from a teacher point of view I love it. I think upper elementary readers would love this book (series). Which was a disservice, because this book was an excellent book, with a great balance of characters, plot, and sports elements. To say I put off reading this book is an understatement, I loathe reading sports fiction. Will the two pairs of twins be able to reconcile their differences? When the new boys show off their amazing basketball skills Russ and Owen are worried that their favorite sport is being stolen from them. Russ is jealous, he and his brother have always been the token twins at the school. The new boys are identical twins and play basketball like they share one mind. The school basketball team is doing great this year and everything is terrific, until two new players arrive. Russell and Owen are fraternal twins who bonded in the first book over a shared love of basketball. $6.99 Content: Language: G (0 swears) Mature Content: G Violence: G ![]() Jersey, knee highs or crew socks, big tennis shoes, short shorts and a sweatband.Mack, W.C. ![]() Tennis shoes, cute skirt, tight fitting tank (tennis rocket optional lol).Sexy: Swap out the pants and suspenders for a skirt and leave your button down shirt only partly buttoned up.Cute: Big glasses, hot pants, suspenders and a plaid button down shit, high socks and pig tails.You can either try to pull off the whole naughty school girl concept, put on that classic cheerleading outfit or dress as a sport you once played.Khakis, a button up shirt and a sweater vest that represents your school.Jersey (football, soccer, track, basketball, tennis etc) or.Glasses, pocket protector, pants up to your belly button and a plaid shirt.GET YOUR FREE STUDENT TICKET NOW BEFORE THEY'RE SOLD OUT LIMITED FREE STUDENT TICKETS!

Nano tape is one of the first developments of synthetic setae, which arose from a collaboration between the Manchester Centre for Mesoscience and Nanotechnology, and the Institute for Microelectronics Technology in Russia. The shear adhesion allows the tape to be easily peeled off, in the manner a gecko lifts its foot and since the carbon nanotube arrays leave no residue on the substrate, the tape can be reused many times. Nano tapes mimic these structures with carbon nanotube bundles, which simulate setae, and individual nanotubes, which simulate spatulas, to achieve macroscopic shear adhesion and to translate the weak van der Waals interactions into high shear forces. The shear adhesion is achieved by forming and breaking van der Waals forces between these microscopic structures and the substrate. On a gecko's foot, micrometer-sized elastic hairs called setae are split into nanometer-sized structures called spatulas. Geckos show a remarkable ability to climb smooth vertical surfaces at high speeds, exhibiting both strong attachment and easy rapid removal, or shear adhesion, of their feet. The adhesion is achieved not with chemical adhesives, but via van der Waals forces, which are weak electric forces generated between two atoms or molecules that are very close to each other. These arrays are called synthetic setae and mimic the nanostructures found on the toes of a gecko this is an example of biomimicry. However, it does not do well in colder temperatures.Nano tape, also called gecko tape marketed under the name Alien Tape, is a synthetic adhesive tape consisting of arrays of carbon nanotubes transferred onto a backing material of flexible polymer tape. ![]() It can stick easily to practically all materials and is stronger than regular duct tape. It is used in residential and commercial settings, as well as for projects of all sizes. This allows it to stick to rough and dirty surfaces that may always be hard to secure. After 50 degrees, it loses a lot of its adhesion. However, it does not do very well in colder environments. It is perfect for high temperatures and can work well in up to 200-degree environments. It has extra layers of weather-resistant materials to help protect the tape from sun, rain, and snow. This tape is extremely weather-resistant. For this reason, they are both fairly similar. Both brands were made to be in direct competition with each other. Like Gorilla Tape, it is 17-mil duct tape. It has a high-tensile construction, which adds a lot of durability. The tape is fairly strong and durable, but the bond it makes isn’t exactly very strong. ![]() However, the adhesive is not one of the strongest on the market. T-Rex tape is known for being extremely sticky. This makes the tape considerably stronger than most others, though it can still be torn by hand. The layers of fabric backing are slightly offset, preventing tears. It can better surround and grip uneven surfaces due to this thicker adhesive layer. This adhesive layer is one of the most important, as it is twice as thick as many of the other tapes on the market. Gorilla tape has three layers: a water-resistant shell, reinforced fabric backing, and an adhesive layer. Don’t use it to patch a boat or anything of that sort, however. It is not water-proof, but it won’t be affected by a little rain. This tape is also water-resistant, though it is not the best option in very wet conditions. It is suitable enough to stick to smooth and rough surfaces without breaking a sweat. It has a double-thick adhesive, which makes it stick to things easier. It is one of the strongest and stickiest options on the market. However, it is significantly stronger than other tapes in its class. Gorilla Tape is a 17-mil class duct tape. ![]() 200 beautiful stitches for endless creative opportunities including 7 mm stitch width.There are 4 built-in fonts for personalizing, labeling and dating your sewing projects.The Electronic Self-Adjusting Thread Tension sets the best tension automatically for all your sewing techniques and fabrics. ![]()

![]() In V isions, ideas are celebrated and the future envisaged, starting with the vision from which every project begins, that ability to imagine what does not yet exist: a creative act, a stroke of genius, maybe something that cannot actually be created, but which prompts reflection and brings awareness. ![]() Projects, meanwhile, takes us to the heart of the matter, and is the most “professional” part of the magazine, with accounts of design projects, the planning and building of new parts of cities, buildings, interiors and objects. Behind every place, city, building and object there is at least one story, there are people, ideas, processes and news stories that needs to be told if the wealth of phenomena and the value of everything that is created is to be understood. S tories offers a narrative account of architecture and design. The magazine opens with the Booster section which sets the agenda on today’s issues and current events, then continues with four thematic sections covering a wide range of topics: Stories, Projects, Visions, Items. In its new-look print edition, Abitare, a specialised magazine now also available in a digital edition, with a comprehensive website, and in Italian and English as it always has been, has the typical structure of a periodical, with reports, articles, interviews and special features devoted to design and new ideas, but divided up inside into sections that cover a wide spectrum of themes. And we decided to do it by including and collecting contributions from various different angles and by constructing a major international network that will fuel our presentation of good ideas and intriguing stories.” “We have decided to head in a whole new direction and set ourselves the ambitious goal of promoting Italian design culture around the world: that ability to speak and understand different languages, create connections, combine tradition and innovation, culture and technology, humanity and beauty. “Abitare is back, but very different from how it used to be, with a new format and new graphics, but above all with a whole new outlook,” says editor Silvia Botti.
