The ultimate for me is a redesign of the LCR or LCRX in 9mm that hold 6-8 rounds - snub AND 3" - I would buy BOTH, I realize it would change the dimensions but I am OK with that. ![]() If Ruger makes a 357mag LCRX in 3", I will absolutely have it machined just like my others, but hopefully they make one in 9mm native. Now as for the sp101, I love the feel of the sp101 in hand, it just feels amazing - but I would've preferred a 3" LCRX 9mm personally, that would've been awesome. You can say it's because of the cheap ammo and common caliber with my semi's etc and that all sounds good - I just like it. lets me shoot 3 calibers in one gun - 357mag, 9mm, and 38 spl.īut I also have a few revolvers specifically in 9mm and I like it, I have no idea why but I do. I personally love 9mm revolvers, I have more than you might think as I have had many of my 357mag revolvers machined to also shoot 9mm with moonclips. If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

You do the three prior bounties and once you’ve done the third one, you’ll be sent an Archgun Deployer via your inbox, as well as a Gravimag to put on one Arch-Gun. You don’t even need to fight Profit Taker herself. Once you have maxed out Solaris United though, all you need to do is do the first three stages of the Profit Taker heist. ![]() I mean, if a guy who is MR0 and only has 1000 standing a day can do it, then you should be able to as well. Okay, sure, you are gated by your daily standing caps, but if you’ve been playing for a while or are of an MR above 19, then it shouldn’t take you that long to max out Solaris United. You can then sell the gem drops back to Solaris United for a good bit of standing per day – one Zodian or Thyst will give you 1000 standing, 4-5 of them give almost the same standing as a level 40-60 bounty. The easiest and fastest way to max out Solaris United is to speak to Ticker and buy Debt Bonds off him, then farm Exploiter Orb for the vast, vast amount of materials she drops. Which, unless you’ve only been playing for a month, is definitely doable and doesn’t take that long. Before you can even get close to deploying your Arch-Guns in normal atmospheres with gravity and stuff like that, you need to get to max rank (Old Mate) with Solaris United. The Larkspur is also a good gun but you can’t actually build it until you have access to Profit Taker.Īfter that, you need to head to Fortuna and start levelling things up. Luckily, the Grattler is available without having to do any Syndicate stuff, and is a good gun. You might be happy to ignore that for a bit, since there are other Arch-Guns, but you’ll have to pick up a better Archwing gun at some point because the Imperator is just overall not very good. Unfortunately, the stock Arch-Gun, the Imperator, is basically a massive pea shooter. It’s a quest aimed at newer players as well. Which isn’t too hard and is required to go further than Ceres and Jupiter. The first thing you have to do is complete the Archwing quest. But at least you get to melt enemies in lead.īut the path towards actually obtaining a good Arch-Gun and an Archgun Deployer to be able use said gun in ground missions is a long and tedious task. While some enemies will drop items that will reset the 5 minute cooldown between deployments and refill your limited Arch-gun, you are slowed down and you drop like a dead weight while aim-gliding. There’s a long, tedious animation you have to sit through first. These weapons were originally only really usable in the vast wastes of space, where the lack of gravity means they are light enough to use.īut with a Gravimag and an Orokin Catalyst installed you can use these Archwing Guns in any mission. They’re massive, heavy weapons that you summon from your ship and use to murder all your enemies. Arch-guns, Archwing Guns are pretty cool. Manziel didn't have a bad game for Cleveland, but he didn't play well enough to lead the Browns to an upset victory over the unbeaten Bengals, who now move to 8-0 on the season. Andy Dalton threw three touchdowns and the Bengals finished with 154 rushing yards, more than enough to hold off Johnny Manziel and the Browns. The Cardinals star might downplay his blocking ability, but he can stop a defender in his tracks when he needs it.Īnd doesn't want to be known as a good blocker?! #CINvsAZ Cincinnati Bengals took down the AFC North rival Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, 31-10. Nelson and answer: Does anyone throw a better deep ball than Carson Palmer? #CINvsAZ ģ) Larry Fitzgerald can do more than catch passes Palmer finished with three touchdown passes in the quarter, including the picture-perfect bomb to Nelson.

In the third quarter, Deone Bucannon launched himself helmet first into A.J. It seemed like every snap had at least one flag, many of them minor infractions that had nothing to do with the play.Īfter all that, when the officials had a big call to make, they whiffed. Instead, it turned out to be yet another endless slog of penalties. On paper, this should have been one of the marquee Sunday night games of the season - that's why NBC used their flex power to take the game away from CBS. Three things we learnedġ) Nothing kills a football game faster than penalties The Bengals, though, responded quickly, with Dalton hitting Eifert for his second touchdown, making it 31-28 with 3:44 to go. Palmer fumbled two plays later, but was able to fall on it, and Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 24-yard field goal to make it a 10-point game with 6:27 to go. However, Marcus Golden forced a Dalton fumble, giving Arizona the ball on the Bengals 9. Hill's second touchdown, this one from 1 yard, pulled the Bengals within 28-21 with 11:26 left in the game, and the Cincinnati defense was able to force another punt. That put the ball on the Cincinnati 18, and two plays later, it was David Johnson sneaking out of the backfield for a 16-yard score and a 28-14 lead. At that point, Arizona was rolling at top speed, and after another Bengals punt, Palmer hit Nelson for another 36-yard catch-and-run. On their next drive, Cardinals took a 21-14 lead when Palmer threw his third touchdown of the game, hitting John Brown for an 18-yard score. That left rookie JJ Nelson wide open on a deep crossing route, and Palmer hit him in stride for a 64-yard touchdown. The Bengals were in two deep coverage, and safety George Iloka jumped a covered short route by Larry Fitzgerald. Palmer looked better in the second half, and took advantage of a Cincinnati mistake to tie the game. ![]() Dalton had a pass broken up by Patrick Peterson on 3rd-and-19, but Cincinnati was bailed out by a defensive holding penalty called on a blitzing defensive back in the end zone.ĭalton took advantage, beating a blitz with a 41-yard middle screen to Bernard that set up Jeremy Hill's 2-yard run to give the Bengals a 14-7 lead at halftime. The pass to Fells helped Palmer overcome his ugly first quarter, but the Bengals were able to put together a scoring drive late in the second quarter. The teams traded early touchdowns by their tight ends, with Andy Dalton's 3-yard pass to Tyler Eifert being matched by Palmer's 18-yard jump ball that was brought down in a crowd by Daniel Fells. The Cardinals are now 8-2 and lead the NFC West by three games over the Seattle Seahawks, while the Bengals (8-2) have lost two in a row and now only lead the Pittsburgh Steelers by two games in the AFC North. The Cardinals didn't have any timeouts, but Palmer gained 57 yards in three plays, two to Larry Fitzgerald, and Catanzaro's kick was right down the middle. That allowed Mike Nugent to kick a 43-field goal with 1:03 to play, tying the game at 31. An Arizona penalty kept the drive alive at the two-minute warning, and on the next play, Andy Dalton hit Giovani Bernard for a 30-yard catch-and-run to the Arizona 37. The Bengals trailed 31-21 with four minutes to go, but scored and got the ball back at their own 16 with 2:45 left, down 31-28. Carson Palmer threw four touchdown passes, then led a last-minute drive to set up Chandler Catanzaro's winning field goal with one second to play as the Arizona Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Bengals 34-31. She found a book written by RuPaul - the American drag queen and actor - which helped answer a lot of her questions, and she chatted to other LGBTQ contestants backstage or after a show. The more time she spent at pageants, the more Chedino was exposed to the LGBTQ community. "I could look at myself in a mirror and, for the first time, recognise the person who was looking back at me." While South Africa slowly grew into its new role as Africa's economic powerhouse, Chedino, too, discovered a way of existing in the world that felt right - she loved wearing female clothing. After she began her hormone treatment, Chedino was banned from several pageants, including this one, as organizers felt the hormones gave her an unfair advantage over other contestants. Even today, crowned queens and kings speak of "the power of the sash" - winners receive a sash and a crown - and they quickly become important ambassadors for their communities.Ĭhedino (middle) orders a drink during the 2014 Miss Temptation beauty pageant in Athlone, Cape Town, South Africa, in 2014.

The city of Poughkeepsie was spared from battle during the American Revolutionary War and became the second capital of the State of New York after Kingston was burned by the British. The city of Poughkeepsie was chartered on March 28, 1854. The community was set off from the town of Poughkeepsie when it became an incorporated village on March 27, 1799. The settlement grew quickly, and the Reformed Church of Poughkeepsie was established by 1720. History Įnglish colonist Robert Sanders and Dutch colonist Myndert Harmense Van Den Bogaerdt acquired the land from a local Native American tribe in 1686, and the first settlers were the families of Barent Baltus Van Kleeck and Hendrick Jans van Oosterom. The name Poughkeepsie is derived from a word in the Wappinger language, roughly U-puku-ipi-sing, meaning 'the reed-covered lodge by the little-water place', referring to a spring or stream feeding into the Hudson River south of the downtown area. Educational institutions include Marist College, Vassar College, Dutchess Community College and The Culinary Institute of America. Poughkeepsie is situated between the Lower Hudson and the Capital District regions, and the city's economy is stimulated by several major corporations, including IBM. The City of Poughkeepsie and neighboring Town of Poughkeepsie are generally viewed as a single place and are commonly referred to collectively as "Poughkeepsie", with a combined population of 74,751 in 2018. The city of Poughkeepsie lies in New York's 18th congressional district. Major bridges in the city include the Walkway over the Hudson, a former railroad bridge called the Poughkeepsie Bridge which reopened as a public walkway on Octoand the Mid-Hudson Bridge, a major thoroughfare built in 1930 that carries U.S. It was settled in the 17th century by the Dutch and became New York State's second capital shortly after the American Revolution. Poughkeepsie has been called "The Queen City of the Hudson". It is served by the nearby Hudson Valley Regional Airport and Stewart International Airport in Orange County, New York. It is a principal city of the Poughkeepsie–Newburgh–Middletown metropolitan area which belongs to the New York combined statistical area. Poughkeepsie is in the Hudson River Valley region, midway between the core of the New York metropolitan area and the state capital of Albany. It is the county seat of Dutchess County, with a 2020 census population of 31,577. Poughkeepsie ( / p ə ˈ k ɪ p s i/ pə- KIP-see), officially the City of Poughkeepsie, which is separate from the Town of Poughkeepsie around it, is a city in the U.S. ![]() In general, the small size of nanoparticles leads to a lower concentration of point defects compared to their bulk counterparts, but they do support a variety of dislocations that can be visualized using high-resolution electron microscopes. The production of nanoparticles with specific properties is a branch of nanotechnology. They are an important component of atmospheric pollution, and key ingredients in many industrialized products such as paints, plastics, metals, ceramics, and magnetic products. Being at the transition between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures, they often exhibit phenomena that are not observed at either scale. Nanoparticles occur widely in nature and are objects of study in many sciences such as chemistry, physics, geology, and biology. Idealized model of a crystalline nanoparticle of platinum, about 2 nm in diameter, showing individual atoms. This effect is particularly strong for nanoparticles dispersed in a medium of different composition since the interactions between the two materials at their interface also becomes significant. Therefore, the properties of that surface layer may dominate over those of the bulk material. Since the typical diameter of an atom is between 0.15 and 0.6 nm, a large fraction of the nanoparticle's material lies within a few atomic diameters of its surface. The properties of nanoparticles often differ markedly from those of larger particles of the same substance. Nanoparticles also easily pass through common filters, such as common ceramic candles, so that separation from liquids requires special nanofiltration techniques. For the same reason, dispersions of nanoparticles in transparent media can be transparent, whereas suspensions of larger particles usually scatter some or all visible light incident on them. Nanoparticles are usually distinguished from microparticles (1-1000 µm), "fine particles" (sized between 1 nm), and "coarse particles" (ranging from 2500 to 10,000 nm), because their smaller size drives very different physical or chemical properties, like colloidal properties and ultrafast optical effects or electric properties.īeing more subject to the Brownian motion, they usually do not sediment, like colloidal particles that conversely are usually understood to range from 1 to 1000 nm.īeing much smaller than the wavelengths of visible light (400-700 nm), nanoparticles cannot be seen with ordinary optical microscopes, requiring the use of electron microscopes or microscopes with laser. At the lowest range, metal particles smaller than 1 nm are usually called atom clusters instead. The term is sometimes used for larger particles, up to 500 nm, or fibers and tubes that are less than 100 nm in only two directions. A nanoparticle or ultrafine particle is usually defined as a particle of matter that is between 1 and 100 nanometres (nm) in diameter. Handler discovered his son Kenneth playing with Matchbox cars and decided to create a line to compete with Matchbox. The original Hot Wheels were made by Elliot Handler. Although Hot Wheels were originally intended to be for children and young adults, they have become popular with adult collectors, for whom limited edition models are now made available. Many automobile manufacturers have since licensed Hot Wheels to make scale models of their cars, allowing the use of original design blueprints and detailing. It was the primary competitor of Matchbox until 1997, when Mattel bought Tyco Toys, then owner of Matchbox. Hot Wheels is an American brand of scale model cars introduced by American toymaker Mattel in 1968.
