![]() So flight crew or airport workers would need to change out of any identfying piece of clothing before entering. Are flight crew allowed in airline's own lounges? No I don't think so, I have never seen FA (recognizable, i.e, in unifirm)in the U.S based airline lounge.I'm not sure what United's rules are but American does not allow employees in uniform to be in the lounge. I wonder how many of them have Amex Plat and how many are guest in? I am just so glad Amex will be enforcing new guest rule starting 2023.Ģ. I see the entire United Airline's crew (on duty, in uniform) go in to Amex Cen lounge as a group at GRU Airport, taking up a few adjacent tables, all the time. But that's just my own personal opinion.ġ. Without the lounge and because I don't foresee using the 5X points on airline purchases very often, I don't think the card is worth keeping. For me, the lounge benefit is one of the main reasons I have been a Platinum cardholder for years. With non-rev travel for short weekend trips and not checking a bag, I usually show up at the airport only an hour before departure so I don't even have the opportunity to use the lounge. I suppose I will need to re-evaluate my travel and how I use the lounge benefit. It's purely a financial decision and I don't think it has anything to do with airport workers coming in for a free lunch. Oh, and given that Amex is limiting people to 3 hours before departure (which effectively is a ~2-hour max in the lounge) that doesn't really work with standby, especially if you standby for an earlier flight and are confirmed on a later one.Now this makes more sense to me. Please don't give Delta any ideas on excluding standby passengers from their lounges! Actually, it makes some sense for airlines to be more flexible with their own passengers as sometimes the reason that you are on standby is the airline's own operational issues. ![]() Yes a $39 Spirit boarding pass would give you access within 3 hours of the flight.Īs a private business Amex can set its rules as it wishes. If anything I'd expect Amex to be looking to exclude more people. Given the overcrowding problems that exist at Centurion Lounges, don't expect any moves to relax entry rules. Amex wants to exclude airline, airport, travel industry employees, and the confirmed boarding pass is the way that they have chosen to implement that. I think that Amex's premise is that people with industry travel privileges are apt to be at airports far more often than the average cardholder, and that they probably aren't paying retail rates for airfare and hotels.

There is also a secret level in AD, called ad_end. What ? You're done with those as well ? Woah!ġ. Ultimately what I want to do is make a map for QL, and I want to. I cant find it now, and I cant really track down if QL live mods are possible or not, some youtube vids show them but Im still unsure. If you've finished the main maps, do not worry, there's literally another hub for even more maps. I found a thread about a week ago that was a list of things new players could do to maximize their QL experience. ![]() ![]() Now do keep in mind, AD at first will be very weird if you're making a direct transition from Quake Campaign to AD, since you may be used to the Retro Styled Maps, AD may seem very weird at first, because of the newer, more complex Level Design. And same like Revamped E2M2, changed from 2 secrets and 70-ish enemies, to 91 enemies and 6 secrets.ĪD also brings up new weapons, new monsters, newer textures and so much more. The map was changed from something with around 40 enemies and 3 secrets to a map which holds around 100 enemies alongside 10 total secrets.Īnd the last ''Revamped Classic'' on this list is the secret level of Episode 2: The Realm of Black Magic, The Underearth, E2M7. The maps in AD are massive, some containing around 300-400 enemies, and a very large number of secrets and explorable areas.Īrcane Dimensions Download Link [AD also comes with 3 classic Quake maps.įirst of all, there is Hanger 16, which is DOOM 1 E1M1.Īlongside a DOOM 1 map into Quake, there is also a much, MUCH better version of E2M2, Ogre Citadel. There are enough maps to keep you hooked for days. A mod so big it may as well be its own game.Īrcane Dimensions is nothing but a pure piece of art. Archie ComicsĬhan: What are 2-3 classic storytelling rules that Archie comics live by? New Archie characters appear regularly including Kevin Keller. Learning his way of thinking about the characters really helped me and Jamie understand how to be a good editor for the company. Victor had been with Archie for over 60 years, and he was great to work with. It's nice to have moved back to classic Archie and taken over from my friend and Archie legend Victor Gorelick. We’ve both worked on a little bit of everything, so we have a really good sense of the characters and how to target each market best. Both departments work together on our graphic novel output. Our modern line comprises all of our new/modern-style comics since the 2015 reboot of the Archie comic book series by Mark Waid and Fiona Staples, and our horror titles. Both of those offer five-to-ten pages of new content along with reprints from our 80 years of publishing. Our classic line includes our popular digest magazines and standard-sized single-issue comic books. ![]() We currently have two distinct “departments” in terms of publishing output. It's a small, but immensely dedicated team, so there's a ton of synergy across all titles. Rotante: The folks behind Archie Comics really run the entire publishing business like a well-oiled machine. How does each major department help tell the story of Archie comics? Soon the company would focus on Archie and other teen characters, even renaming the once-MLJ Comics to Archie Comics.Ĭhan: Let’s go behind-the-scenes. Believe it or not, that’s where old (actually, forever young) Archie comes in, as sort of the antithesis of the “super man” and a champion of the everyman. The early MLJ stuff was similar to the pulps in many ways: crime, western, adventure, some funny stuff, and eventually, superhero material as Superman exploded onto the scene. Then Maurice Coyne, Louis Silberkleit, and John L Goldwater formed MLJ Comics (MLJ from the first initials of their first names). They had a lot of great writers who would go on to be household names, and the covers were very eye-catching. The company goes back even further to the days of pulp novels, which were cheap reading pretty shocking and sensational stories, crime, westerns, romance, and some sci-fi. ![]() Mike Pellerito: It's incredible to think about how long Archie has existed the first media outside of comics to feature the Archie characters was a radio show! Kinda’ like a scripted podcast for those not in the know, lol. His popularity continued to grow so much that, in 1946, the company changed its name to Archie Comic Publications, Inc. Archie was such a hit he went from being a feature to having his own title the following year. The popular Andy Hardy movies at the time made it cool for relatable, younger heroes to take center stage. It wasn't until Pep Comics #22 in 1941 that Archie made his first appearance. ![]() It began as MLJ Magazines in 1939, mostly focused on superhero comics. Rotante: Archie Comics has been around for over 80 years (we actually just celebrated Archie's landmark 80 th year with a number of retrospective collections that fans loved-especially 80 Years, 80 Stories and Archie: 80 Years of Christmas.) But the publishing side of things goes back a little further. Goldie Chan: How long has Archie Comics existed for? What was the original inspiration? ![]() One of the key points of the functionality of the Homestar Flux is the option to extend your catalog of discs. ![]() If you don't set a timer, the device will power off after four hours, regardless. The sleep timer on the device can be set for 15, 30 or 60 minutes, giving peace of mind for an automatic shut off after you fall asleep or leave the house. The Sega Homestar Flux is powered using a USB cable, giving you the flexibility to power it from any USB device, such as a laptop or power bank, instead of having to rely on a wall socket. LED lights tell the user which function is in operation. The projector is controlled by using the buttons on the device. In terms of a star projector with an excellent build quality which gives a high level of scientific accuracy - depending on the disc used - this is true. Given this is one of the most expensive home star projectors on the market, you'd expect the quality and performance of the product to also be one of the best. The 5-Watt LED will let you see the projection of the stars even in the daytime or with the lights on, but as with all projections, it's best in a completely dark room. Just imagine you're in a dark sky area without any light pollution and a telescope with the widest field of view possible, and that is what you can see on your ceiling. The projection is astonishingly clear and vivid (once focused), almost to the point of looking 'too sharp' to look like the real night sky. When turned on, you can only hear the faintest whir when in an otherwise silent room we actually found this quite soothing in itself. We were pleased to find this is indeed the case. If you've already done some research into this home planetarium, you'll have likely read how quiet the motor is when in operation. The projections are clear and bright, even in the daytime, though as with all star projectors, they are more impressive in the dark. You cant pivot the sphere horizontally, but of course, you can just turn the stand around to face the direction you want. The stand can be positioned at any angle with the sphere able to pivot 360 degrees. One turns the device on, one activates the timer, one is to decide the rotation direction and one activates the so-called 'shooting star.' That said, there are only four of them so you'll quickly get used to it as we did. The focus ring lets you sharpen the stars on the projection surface, as this will differ depending on the position of the projector and the distance from the device to your ceiling.Īlthough the Homestar Flux is often marketed as having illuminated buttons, which sounds useful, it is a little LED next to the buttons that illuminate rather than their labels, so you still need to remember which does what function. Choose a disc (there are two provided), and plug it into the power. ![]() There's really no need to read the instructions to know how the device operates. Everything about the projector seems intuitive. ![]() ![]() Pompompurin: the softest of all, loves cocoa, pudding and bread, takes lots of pictures, likes to get cozy and comfy on rainy afternoons, really smart, super talented but wont admit it, full of love, takes their friends on dates at coffee shops.Ĭinnamoroll: Very neat and clean, always have what you need (e.x: umbrellas, chapstick, handkierchiefs…), won’t admit they’re wrong, have a bullet journal, loves ice cream, pastel colors + white, have a very organized schedule, never forgets their lunchbox.

But if it happens at the later stages of pregnancy a surgery might be suggested to the mother,' says Dr Jaishree. While most people with this condition don’t have any noticeable symptoms and have completely healthy pregnancies, some might notice a sudden and significant drop in fetal activity. If this happens at an early gestation then doctors would take a wait and watch approach and ask the mother to improve her fluid intake. About 4 percent of expecting women experience oligohydramnios, or low amniotic fluid usually late in the third trimester. It also depends on the gestation age of the baby. However, it is seen that increase in the fluid intake by the mother can help her improve the levels of amniotic fluid. 'Not much can be done to increase the levels of amniotic fluid in the mother. However, it is not fully known that if lack of amniotic fluid leads to it or vice versa,' says Dr Jaishree. 'Since amniotic fluid is important for the baby as it helps in the development of the fetus it helps in the development of the muscles and limbs, later when the baby learns to breathe and swallow to develop the lungs so lack of it could lead to intrauterine growth reduction. There are a number of potential causes for reductions in. Maternal health complications: If the mother is suffering from, hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes all of this can have an effect on amniotic fluid levels. Amniotic fluid levels are determined by the amount of fluid flowing in and out of the amniotic sac. ![]() Here she tells us about the probable causes that could lead to the same:Įxtended pregnancy: If your pregnancy has extended way beyond your expected delivery date this could also be a reason. While nobody can say what exactly causes oligohydramnios but there are certain associated causes that could lead to the same,' says Dr Jaishree Gajaraj, consultant gynaecologist from Fortis Malar, Chennai. 'If a woman is suffering from this condition it becomes imperative to know the underlying condition that is causing the same. Most often it is seen during the last trimester of pregnancy. It is a bad sign if it happens before 28 weeks i,e before the baby attains proper. Here are eight surprising things that a baby does inside the womb.Īlthough rare some women do suffer from this condition which can happen at any time during pregnancy. Dr Anitha Manoj concluded, When the amniotic fluid level is dropping, the gestational age matters a lot. Sometimes the level of this amniotic fluid might go low leading to a condition called oligohydramnios. In the later stages of pregnancy it can cause preterm birth, impaired growth of your baby or labor complications such as a required cesarean delivery or compression of the umbilical cord. It is in this fluid that the baby learns to swim and breathe it also swallows some amount of amniotic fluid when in the womb. Low amniotic fluid in the early stages of pregnancy can lead to the development of birth defects or even miscarriage. It keeps the baby safe and afloat inside the womb needless to say that it is the baby's life support system. However, this fluid is very important for the baby's survival and nurturing. ![]() The fluid consists of water which is extracted from the mother and the baby's urine which is produced after 20th weeks of pregnancy. The amniotic fluid is produced soon after the amniotic sac is formed which is about 12 days after conception. Amniotic fluid as a vital sign for fetal wellbeing.During pregnancy, your baby floats in the amniotic fluid inside your womb.

Reference Ranges of Amniotic Fluid Index in Late Third Trimester of Pregnancy: What Should the Optimal Interval between Two Ultrasound Examinations Be? Retrieved Janufrom Low Amniotic Fluid Index at Term as a Predictor of Adverse Perinatal Outcome. ![]() One potential cause is the continuous leaking of amniotic fluid because the amniotic membranes have ruptured. Another function of amniotic fluid is to cushion the baby’s umbilical cord. It’s not always possible to determine what causes low levels of amniotic fluid. If the fluid is very low for a long time, the baby may develop tightness in the joints, called contractures, due to an inability to stretch out and move.
I wouldn't leave until the entire Sapphire league had been reduced to ash. If Duolingo sent me a message saying I'd been knocked off my top spot, I'd return like an idiot scorned and go nuclear on anyone who dared challenge my Duolingo supremacy. I, by contrast, was getting my kicks from obliterating innocent men, women and children on Duolingo leaderboards. If that sounds like gobbledygook to you, congrats on being an actualized human being. I'd rattle through lessons quickly, earn a 15-minute double XP boost, then maximize that time by rattling through the easy "story" lessons for 80XP a pop. I discovered little bizarre techniques, just so I could compete. ![]() These leagues are tough and some participants clearly have bugger all else to do but toil in the Duolingo XP mines. That's where the big boys play, but even getting to that point is challenging. The big papa top league is the Diamond league. There are 10 in total, all of which sound like they're named after Pokemon games: Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Pearl and so on and so forth. You start out in "Bronze." But if you gather enough XP, you can gain promotion to higher and more competitive leagues. I was especially entranced by Duolingo's league system.ĭuolingo allows its users to compete with one another in a series of leagues, similar to the ones you might find in video games like Overwatch or DOTA. I shall become engorged with its hollow, forbidden pleasures. Let me suck at the teat of this bizarre green owl. Duolingo was a machine designed to make me feel superficially productive.

![]() You will need to use the Nebula Capsule Max smartphone app to control the apps you run on the projector, though.Īnother benefit of the Nebula Capsule Max project is its size. You can run your favorite apps directly from the projector itself as if it’s a tablet or smart TV. You don’t need to connect another device to the Nebula Capsule Max for streaming content, nor worry about copyright-protected content when casting Netflix or Disney Plus. The Anker Nebula Capsule Max projector features the usual HDMI and USB ports for connecting media, but its claim to fame is its built-in support for the Android operating system, which allows it to run Android apps natively. Resolution: 1920 x 1080 | Brightness: 2,200 ANSI Lumens | Contrast ratio: 15,000:1 | Projection size: up to 300 inches ![]() With two HDMI ports, a USB-A port, a USB Mini-B port, 3.5mm input and output audio jacks, an RS-232 control port, and a PC VGA port, very few devices won’t be able to connect to the BenQ HT2150ST. Where this projector impresses is with its range of ports. At the same time, the support for 1080p resolution and 15,000:1 contrast ratio produces a projection with solid colors and fine details. The 2,200 ANSI lumens allow the BenQ HT2150ST to put on a generally solid show in dimly lit rooms. This ratio is good as it will allow you to make a sizable projection when used in a small place such as a child’s bedroom or tent. This budget projector also boasts a 1:1.69 foot throw ratio that gives you an extra 2 feet of image for every foot away from the wall or screen where the projector sits. This model boasts incredibly low latency with just a 16ms input lag, which means minimal delay from when you press a video game controller button to when the action happens on-screen. ![]() The BenQ HT2150ST is admittedly on the higher end of the cheap projector category, but It’s still worth considering, especially if you want a good projector for playing video games. Resolution: 1920x1080 | Brightness: 2400 lumens | Contrast ratio: 2000:1 | Projection size: 170 inches You can bypass the built-in speaker by exporting your audio directly from the source device, such as your computer or streaming stick. Fortunately, the Vankyo Leisure 3 has a 3.5mm cable port, allowing for a connection to an external speaker. ![]() The built-in speaker is unlikely to impress those used to high-quality speaker systems or even an excellent built-in laptop speaker. The 2,000:1 contrast ratio provides solid picture quality, but the brightness level is surprisingly dimmer than expected from a projector boasting 2,400 lumens. However, the stand is relatively small, which means you may need to prop it up on a table or desk with something to get the angle you want. Using the built-in operating system to navigate the settings and options with the included remote is intuitive. It also features SD and USB ports to view media from a card or stick and is very easy to set up, whether connecting a laptop, smart device, or video game console. It comes with a carrying case, HDMI ports, an AV port, a VGA port, and cables, so you won’t need to make additional connector purchases.
