Too much wind will cause it to become unstable, and even break, in extreme cases.ĭoesn't like the rough air near ground level. The Delta won't tolerate strong or even fresh winds. And that long tail can get caught in things if you aren't careful. The Diamond flies at a modest line angle most of the time. Here are the weak points of these kite designs: The kite simply rolls up, takes very little space, and is unlikely to be damaged in transit. The Sled kite is the most convenient to take anywhere. Sometimes it will go right over your head, if it encounters any rising air on a warm day! In other words, it will spend a lot of time at a steep line angle. The Delta kite will perform much better than the other two.

OMG, if I tell you that the three bedroom was a dream, it's because it's true! If I qualified, I would absolutely have taken it.įirst of all, the three bedroom was super huge. I also asked to see the three bedroom, just out of curiosity (all two bedrooms were gone). I think this is a good idea on behalf of the developer - pretty smart! What makes it look medium sized is the fact that it comes with a murphy bed, so you can pull it down or up if you want the extra space. The apartments come furnished if you choose to keep their furniture, if not, they will remove the furniture and you can bring your own. It seems like they've done a good job with noise reduction. The subway - I believe the Q train - runs right in front of the building, but you can't really hear the noise. Within those buildings, you can see a bit of Manhattan. The one bedroom apartment that I was shown had a view to what appears to be projects (but I find they are actually Trump Village). The appliances are super modern - it seems like they went all out with these. I would say that it's spacious enough for two people and a pet (two cats or one large dog). The one bedroom is pretty spacious (but nothing like buildings built in the 1990's, or Stuytown or the recent 1 Riverplace). I was shown three apartments - one bedroom, a studio and a three bedroom (the latter of which I do not qualify for, but I wanted to look at out of curiousity). It's really amazing how friendly, responsive and organized they are. They will always communicate with you every single time you send an email. The people whom you will interact with are super friendly - from the management company to the doorman to the person who will show you the apartment. However, this review is for whomever is interested:įirst of all, the process went by very smoothly. I was called for a viewing and later they asked me to sign off on documentation to send off to HPD, but I chose not to proceed. Essentially, as rewards continue to be drawn from the prize pool, their probabilities shall fluctuate accordingly in real time.So, I got called for one of these apartments.When there are only Seabreeze Whispers, Windswept Beginnings, fortress microreactor shard ×160, and fortress exoskeleton shard ×40 left, the probability of getting the Seabreeze Whispers is 1×1/(1×1+1×3+1×10+1×10)=4.17%.When there are no more weapon augment kit box II ×20, Matrix data pack IV ×4, and weapon battery IV ×2 left, the probability of getting the Seabreeze Whispers is 1×1/(1×1+1×3+1×10+1×10+1×25+1×25+1×25+2×50)=0.50%.Probability of obtaining a specific reward = Remaining number of specific rewards × its corresponding weight / (number of remaining items in the prize pool × corresponding weight of each item). The formula for the calculation is as follows: The quantity of items in the prize pool decrease as prizes are drawn, so each reward is weighted in order to calculate real-time probability. You can obtain all the prizes within the prize pool if you reach the maximum number of draws for this event. This event's prize pool is a limited pool.Summer Break giftbox must be used inside the backpack to unlock corresponding items.If your backpack is full, your obtained rewards will be sent through mail.Rewards obtained from draws go directly to your backpack, and you can check your rewards from there. Each draw can be made with either dark crystals or tanium of different quantities. There are a total of 15 draws in the card pool. ![]() In other words, it can help keep you regular!

Insoluble fiber is a type of undigestible carbohydrate the provides roughage, helping with stool formation by increasing bulk.This type of fiber has been linked to lower cholesterol levels, improved cardiovascular health, and supporting a healthy microbiome. The microbiome in your colon feed on some of this fiber, helping support those “good bacteria”. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, and creates a gel-like substance as it goes moves through the digestive system.For example, bread and potatoes are starch-heavy foods, and your body can break down these starches for quick energy.įiber, on the other hand, is not able to be digested (though it may be partially broken down by gut bacteria). Starches are most commonly found in grains, beans, and certain vegetables. Starches are long chains that your body can digest. Complex carbohydrates include starches and fiber. These carbs are made from several linked chains of sugar molecules, and often take your body longer to digest than simple carbs. That said, it’s completely OK to enjoy these foods from time to time! A balanced diet is always one that includes moderation. On the flip side, the simple sugars in foods like soda, fruit drinks, candies, and cookies should be limited. For example, while fruit does contain naturally occurring sugar, it also comes packaged with fiber (which helps slow the blood sugar response) as well as vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (health-promoting nutrients in plant foods). You don’t have to avoid simple carbohydrates, but you should choose nutrient-dense options when possible.

The weapon was designed and built by the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Parachute deployment was specified to produce a maximum load of 255 g (2,500 m/s 2). Environmental conditions specified included an indefinite temperature range of −60 ☏ (−51 ☌) to 160 ☏ (71 ☌), shocks of up to 40g, and in flight temperatures of up to 275 ☏ (135 ☌) for up to 40 minutes. Due to the short time-scales, it was decided to make maximum use of off-the-shelf components such as those developed for the B57 nuclear bomb. The weapon was designated the TX-61 in January 1963. The desired production date was June 1965. The justification for the program was that the new weapon would modernize the nuclear arsenal, improve the capability of aircraft and simplify the nuclear weapons inventory by replacing lower-yield versions of the B28 and B43 nuclear bombs. ĭevelopment of the weapon that would become the B61 was authorized in December 1962. This was followed by a report from Sandia in mid-1962, that believed that a lightweight nuclear bomb with full fuzing option was possible and that such a program could be completed in a short time-span, possibly by 1965 or 1966. However, the authors of the report believed that due to advances in technology it was possible for a single weapon to fulfill both requirements. In 1961 a report was issued indicating Navy and Air Force interest in a lightweight bomb to replace existing weapons, but that both services had considerably different military requirements for such a weapon. B61 bomb casing MAPS Air Museum, North Canton, Ohio. Development A B61 bomb undergoing disassembly. According to the Federation of American Scientists in 2012, the roughly 400 B61-12s will cost $28 million apiece. As of 2020, it is undergoing a 12th modification. Basic weight is about 700 pounds (320 kg), although the weights of individual weapons may vary depending on version and fuze/retardation configuration. It has a streamlined casing capable of withstanding supersonic flight and is 11 ft 8 in (3.56 m) long, with a diameter of about 13 inches (33 cm). It is a Full Fuzing Option (FUFO) weapon, meaning it is equipped with the full range of fuzing and delivery options, including air and ground burst fuzing, and free-fall, retarded free-fall and laydown delivery. The B61 is of the variable yield ("dial-a-yield" in informal military jargon) design with a yield of 0.3 to 340 kilotons in its various mods. It is a low to intermediate-yield strategic and tactical nuclear weapon featuring a two-stage radiation implosion design. The B61 nuclear bomb is the primary thermonuclear gravity bomb in the United States Enduring Stockpile following the end of the Cold War. It accurately replicates the shape and size of a "live" B61 (together with its safety/arming mechanisms) but contains only inert materialsīelieved to be either 0.3–340 kt or 0.3–400 kt in the weapon's various mods.

If the player receives additional damage before the stamina can recover, the player's health is reduced. After the player sustains damage, the screen flashes red and the stamina score decreases. Instead of the Master Chief's damage-absorbing energy shield, the game uses a recharging stamina mechanic. ![]() Since ODSTs do not possess the Master Chief's advanced armor and reflexes, they cannot jump as high, move as fast, or survive large falls. Instead, the player controls human soldiers known as "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" or ODSTs. Although the gameplay of ODST bears a strong resemblance to that of previous Halo titles, the player does not assume the role of the enhanced human supersoldier Master Chief, protagonist of Halo 3. The game features an open world environment in the updated Kenyan city of Mombasa, referred to as New Mombasa. Halo 3: ODST is a shooter video game with most gameplay taking place from a first-person perspective. The player's VISR differentiates friend and foe with a colored outline (enemies are highlighted in red, while allies are green.) Gameplay Players assault an enemy Brute in ODST 's campaign mode. The single-player campaign was re-released as downloadable content for the Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One in May 2015 and was released on PC, also as part of The Master Chief Collection, on September 22, 2020. Softpedia, Time, and Wired were among publications that declared the game one of the year's best. The game was the top-selling title in the United States in September 2009, and sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. Reviewers were divided on whether the relatively short campaign and included extras were enough to justify the game's US$60 price tag. The title received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the atmosphere, music, and story approach. Upon release, ODST became the top-selling Xbox 360 game worldwide. Release marketing for the game included a tie-in comic, live-action trailers, and print and web advertisements. During development, the planned expansion grew in scope to that of a full-sized game. Composer Martin O'Donnell abandoned his previous Halo themes to create a quieter, jazz-influenced sound. Story director Joseph Staten penned a detective story utilizing film noir designs, settings, and characters. Instead of featuring recognizable characters such as armored protagonist Master Chief, the developers focused on the ODSTs. In the "Firefight" multiplayer option, players battle increasingly difficult waves of enemies to score points and survive as long as possible Halo 3 's multiplayer is contained on a separate disc packaged with ODST.īungie initially conceived ODST as a small side project to produce in the lull between Halo 3 's completion and Halo: Reach. ![]() In the game's campaign mode, players explore the ruined city of New Mombasa to discover what happened to their missing teammates in the midst of an alien invasion. Players assume the roles of United Nations Space Command Marines, known as "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" or ODSTs, during and after the events of Halo 2. The fourth installment in the Halo franchise as a side game, it was released on the Xbox 360 in September 2009.
