![]() In a later TikTok, the same user documents a “typical day during war in Ukraine” and ends with a clip of a cinema that had been bombed. Here, though, she pointed out things in her “bomb shelter” that “just make sense,” as the meme goes, including a home gym, two toilets, and a “Ukrainian military breakfast” of bananas and yogurt. One had a caption that read, “When Russian attacked us so we r leaving at 8 am.” Soon after, a Ukrainian user named posted a video that follows a popular TikTok template in which users point out various cool parts of their homes while a jokey Italian song plays and they perform a matching hand gesture. It has earned more than twelve million likes and hundreds of thousands of comments, including “be safe guys.” On February 24th, a user named posted two perky, influencer-style selfie videos in a luxurious home interior, lip-synching to “Who’s That Chick?,” a song by David Guetta featuring Rihanna. A TikTok from February 12th shows an outfitted Ukrainian soldier moonwalking to Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” in an empty field. ![]() It is surreal to see well-established social-media formulas applied to ground warfare. Perhaps owing to Western sympathies with the plight of Ukrainians, their videos have overwhelmed American feeds in a way few foreign news stories ever do. A single tweet earned the clip more than ten million views, but it could also be found on YouTube, TikTok, and the sites of various news publications. One video that has circulated in recent days appears to show a Ukrainian man gingerly moving a mine, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, off of a road and into the woods. The war has become content, flowing across every platform at once. Large numbers of Ukrainian civilians are taking up arms to defend their country against Vladimir Putin’s reckless imperialism they’re also deploying their mobile cameras to document the invasion in granular detail. But in the intervening years, social platforms have become more geared toward multimedia, and smartphones have become better at capturing and streaming events in real time. The Arab Spring uprisings and the Syrian civil war used Facebook and Twitter to organize protests and broadcast D.I.Y. ![]() The invasion of Ukraine isn’t the first conflict to play out over social media. The Internet-focussed podcast “The Content Mines” called the Ukraine invasion “The Most Online War of All Time Until the Next One.” Other publications have dubbed it the “first TikTok war.” What stands out about coverage of the war in Ukraine so far is how thoroughly the latter category of content has permeated the collective consciousness, providing some of the earliest and most direct glimpses of the Russian invasion. The video, which as of my last count had more than nine million likes, is user-generated content broadcast online, following the aesthetic norms of TikTok: choppy, decontextualized, with catchy pop music in the background. Hicks’s picture, of course, is an example of traditional photojournalism-a war photographer capturing action at the front lines of battle in a carefully composed image printed in a newspaper. A line of text reads, “The capital of Ukraine at the moment.” The video is set, with breathtaking incongruity, to “Little Dark Age,” a song by the indie-pop band MGMT, whose lyrics have become something of an audio meme on TikTok: “Just know that if you hide, it doesn’t go away.” Another equally arresting document of the war’s beginnings is a TikTok video, posted on February 24th, showing phone-camera images and video clips of missiles falling over the city of Kyiv like fireworks. Its caption noted that both the soldier and the armored vehicle were Russian and that the photo was taken in Kharkiv, the city in northeastern Ukraine where some of the most intense fighting has been taking place. The photograph ran on the front page of the Times on February 26th. One of the most striking images from the first days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a picture, taken by the photojournalist Tyler Hicks, depicting a dead soldier sprawled on the ground in front of a disabled tank, his body covered in a sheet of fresh snow.

![]() Although the fear of wolves exists in many human societies, the majority of recorded attacks on people have been attributed to animals suffering from rabies. Wolves have a long history of interactions with humans, having been despised and hunted in most pastoral communities because of their attacks on livestock, while conversely being respected in some agrarian and hunter-gatherer societies. The global wild wolf population was estimated to be 300,000 in 2003 and is considered to be of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Pathogens and parasites, notably the rabies virus, may infect wolves. Single wolves or mated pairs typically have higher success rates in hunting than do large packs. The wolf is mainly a carnivore and feeds on large wild hooved mammals as well as smaller animals, livestock, carrion, and garbage. Wolves are also territorial, and fights over territory are among the principal causes of mortality. Offspring may leave to form their own packs on the onset of sexual maturity and in response to competition for food within the pack. It travels in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair accompanied by their offspring. Of all members of the genus Canis, the wolf is most specialized for cooperative game hunting as demonstrated by its physical adaptations to tackling large prey, its more social nature, and its highly advanced expressive behaviour, including individual or group howling. The wolf's fur is usually mottled white, brown, gray, and black, although subspecies in the arctic region may be nearly all white. The wolf is nonetheless related closely enough to smaller Canis species, such as the coyote and the golden jackal, to produce fertile hybrids with them. The wolf is the largest extant member of the family Canidae, and is further distinguished from other Canis species by its less pointed ears and muzzle, as well as a shorter torso and a longer tail. More than thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, including the dog and dingo, though gray wolves, as popularly understood, only comprise naturally-occurring wild subspecies. ![]() The wolf ( Canis lupus pl.: wolves), also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America.

Hey guys, I'm back again with some new stuff I've been working on. ![]() ![]() While February 24 marks the start of the current war in Ukraine, Russia and Russian-backed separatists have occupied parts of the Donbas in eastern Ukraine since 2014, and Ukrainian forces had fought that war for eight years. The Pentagon initially claimed the Phoenix Ghost was developed for Ukraine after Russia’s February 24 invasion, but Pentagon Press Secretary Jack Kirby clarified the development timeline, saying instead that the Phoenix Ghost was created before the invasion, and was “developed for a set of requirements that very closely match what the Ukrainians need right now in Donbas,” as Breaking Defense reported. It also came as a surprise: the Phoenix Ghost drone appeared to be a brand-new weapon system, one so far never reported or revealed to the public.Īs reported by Breaking Defense, the Phoenix Ghost is a drone-missile similar to the Switchblade already fielded by Ukraine. This release was part of a broader package of arms and aid for the country that has, since February 24, been fighting against invading Russian forces. Last week, the Department of Defense announced that it was sending “121 Phoenix Ghost Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems” to Ukraine. The Ghost Phoenix drone "provides the same sort of tactical capability that a Switchblade does," the Pentagon said.

Most cinder-block wall finishing options cost $1.50 to $10.00 per square foot. Other common cinder block sizes range from 4” to 12” in depth and are typically 8” tall. Standard cement cinder block dimensions are 8”x8”x16”. Actual block measurements are smaller to allow for a mortar layer 3/8” thick between the block joints. Block wall foundations need to be 1’ to 3’ deep on average, or deeper for tall fences.ĭrainage – Installing a French drain costs 10 to $35 per linear foot to prevent flooding around the wall.Įquipment allowance – Cutting and grinding blocks onsite is labor-intensive work with various fees depending on the wall design and project size. Trenching – Foundation trenching costs $5 to $12+ per linear foot or more for rocky soil. Insulation – Filling the concrete blocks with core-filling injection foam costs $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot.Įxcavation – Machine excavation costs $1 to $5 per square foot, depending on the dirt type, depth, and number of obstructions. Building codes state reinforcements are necessary for almost all block walls, except for non-load-bearing walls shorter than 2’ tall in some cities.

He predicted the properties of a new zirconium-like element, which was named hafnium, after the Latin name for Copenhagen, where it was discovered. Bohr mentored and collaborated with physicists including Hans Kramers, Oskar Klein, George de Hevesy, and Werner Heisenberg. The notion of complementarity dominated Bohr's thinking in both science and philosophy.īohr founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen, now known as the Niels Bohr Institute, which opened in 1920. He conceived the principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analysed in terms of contradictory properties, like behaving as a wave or a stream of particles. Although the Bohr model has been supplanted by other models, its underlying principles remain valid. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.īohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another. Niels Henrik David Bohr ( Danish: 7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. *Club domestic league appearances and goals Downloaded, installed, opened it up and…”coming soon” still there.

The first and less notable was known as zedrinset. There were two apparent types of Chosen of Lolth: zedrinset and Yor'thae. But if you want to play a similar psionic class, the Warmind is a much better idea, especially with the right combo.Īlso, its pretty much required that whenever a poster mentions the Monk, someone has to mention the Swordsage, which is the "fixed" Tome of Battle version of the Monk.The Chosen of Lolth were, like other Chosen, mortals who were favored or otherwise "blessed" by a god or goddess, in this case Lolth. It's somewhat playable if your DM allows you to use the Practiced Manifester feat from the Complete Psionic, but its such a piss poor book that many DMs I know (including me) have banished it. But your power progression is just too far behind your enemies, and your manifester level is screwed. ![]() You're a still better off then a standard Monk, thanks to Inertial Armor, Expansion, Psionic Lion's Charge, Hustle, and similar powers. You can't Flurry with Claws of the Beast. You're stuck with the Monk's mediocre BAB, hit points, and damage output. I've played it before, and it was really frustrating. But this is only a good idea if you're playing a high level game, where your magic buffs will clearly outweigh the benefits of a few extra feats.Īs others have pointed out, Favored Soul is a poor choice for this build because it lacks Knowledge Religion and has a slower caster progression.įist of Zuoken (or Psionic Fist, as its known on the SRD) is generally a weak PrC. Or you could just be a Human Cleric 6/Sacred Fist X with a Monk's belt, and lose no caster levels, but spend all of your feats on the entry requirements. But if you go into it, I suggest Monk 2/Cleric 4/Sacred Fist X, or Monk 1/Cleric 6/Sacred Fist X if you want 1 more caster level and you're willing to spend a feat (Combat Reflexes, which you'd otherwise get for free from Monk 2) and delay your entry into the PrC by 1 level in order to get it. Seems like a good progression into sacred fist.Īlso, speaking of Zuoken, how is a Monk/Fist of Zuoken? I've never played a Psionic character before, so I might consider trying that out instead, if our group has another willing divine caster.Sacred Fist is great. I like that setup for the Favored Soul/Sacred Fist. It's horrifically crippling for a caster. I suggest continuing Favored Soul after that and grabbing a Monk's Belt to finish out your unarmed strike.Īnd I cannot stress enough that you should not dip Monk for longer than one level. This way you're fighting as if you were a 15th level monk, thus not losing out on your unarmed attack progression, and you still retain the casting of a 12th level Favored Soul when you finish out Sacred Fist. Monk 1: Improved Unarmed, Stunning Fist, Able Learner(Human), Combat Reflexes.įavored Soul 3: (Whatever you feel like: Extend Spell might be good here since you won't have to deal with pre-battle buffing) So your progression should look something like this: Then grab your Knowledge(Religion) ranks and pick up Combat Reflexes with your 1st level feat. One level nabs you free Stunning Fist, free Improved Unarmed Strike, and Knowledge(Religion). ![]() I would HIGHLY suggest against dipping into Monk for more than one level. ![]() The performance consists of six actors playing a number of varied personas. This updated version of “Working: The Musical” is what Actors Theatre of Indiana presents for us.

There was just a month of rehearsal, so still some rough edges on opening, but the kids are all right, and should be more than ready to bring the “Light of the World” to the stage this weekend (June 22-25) at the Ivy Tech Auditorium, 300 N. Bardos and Meadors join for “By My Side.” Bush rises to the challenge of both popular numbers “Day By Day” and “Turn Back, O Man.” Shambarger celebrates “Bless the Lord” and duets on “Beautiful City” with Brandenburg.

But first, John the Baptist (Nick Lantzer) must rally the kids together, his anointing represented by a bubble wand. Our setting is a well-stocked child’s playroom, with lots of toys, plushes, crafts, etc., to aid in the lessons our peer teacher, Jesus (Mason Yeater), has come to share. Carmel Community Players presents “Godspell” as its summer Rising Star Production with youths in all roles, directed by Tanya Haas, who notes she first performed the musical in high school. It is also an easy – and given its playful mood, appropriate – Broadway show to cast with teen and tween actors. As a theatre production, it has a degree of flexibility allowing for creative stagings and inserting modern references to allow audiences to relate to a story from around 30 AD nearly 2000 years later. As a story of Jesus Christ, the 1971 musical “Godspell,” by John-Michael Tebelak with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, goes beyond the traditional Passion Play to give the greater context of what in Jesus’ actions and teachings won him followers, then brought him to the events of the Crucifiction. |
