![]() This film is a waste of time, and an awful action film from a not so good director. This could have been a top notch action film with a different director and of course script, but scriptwriters to capture what was fun about the original Westerns of the 60's, and above all the TV show it was based on. ![]() It's like Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, no one thought that it would be good, but guess what? It was. Maybe with a better script this film could've worked. This film insults the Western films of old, and makes a mockery of the genre. I wonder why these established and talented actors decided to star in this awful mess. What's surprising is the amount of good actors in this film, Ted Levine, Kenneth Branagh for one have impressive resumes. Wild Wild West is a 1999 Cattle Punk film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld from a story by Jim and John Thomas (yes, the brothers who created Predator). I remember watching this film and it was very boring. The only problem is, is that this film bores the viewer to death. Wild Wild West is a strained film that tries too hard at delivering something to the audience. Sonnenfeld really isn't a good director, and he's made more bad films than good one. This film is so poorly crafted, that you wonder how this ever got the go ahead. Barry Sonnenfeld only has one good film under his belt (Men in Black) and the rest are garbage, but Wild Wild West takes the cake as his worst yet. Wild Wild West is a very poorly executed action film. ![]() Rating: PG-13 (Innuendo|Action/Violence|Sex References)ĭolby Digital, DTS-ES, Dolby A, SDDS, DTS, Surround, Dolby Stereo, Dolby SR And with the help of a mysterious stranger (Salma Hayek), West and Gordon close in on Loveless.

Once the global Black Friday and Christmas sales have been totted-up, there’s a good chance the Switch will have eclipsed the 49 million lifetime sales achieved by the 16-bit Super Nintendo console. Nintendo is likely looking to capitalise on the huge array of new Switch console owners, given record numbers snapped up the hybrid console and its portable Switch Lite counterparts over the last few weeks.Īs recently as October, Nintendo announced it had sold 41 million Switch units around the globe since going on sale in 2017. While we wouldn’t hold out breath for deep discounts on newer Nintendo-made titles like Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, Super Mario Maker 2 and Pokemon: Sword & Shield, it’s possible legacy titles like Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kate 8 Ultimate and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild might be up for grabs at a decent discount. We’re unlikely to see hefty discounts on the company’s first-party games, so the majority of the discounts could be comprised of independent games or ports from other systems.

For example, if it's caused by diabetes, treatment will focus on controlling your blood glucose levels. Peripheral neuropathy usually starts with numbness, prickling or tingling in the toes or fingers. Treatment for chronic pins and needles depends on the cause. It may be a sign of a more serious underlying health condition. See your GP if you constantly have pins and needles or if it keeps coming back. The sensation disappears after the pressure is taken off the affected area. Most cases of pins and needles are temporary. It can also be caused by certain treatments, such as chemotherapy. Persistent pins and needles can also occur after an injury. sciatica – pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the back of your pelvis, through your buttocks and down both legs to your feet.carpal tunnel syndrome – pain, numbness and a burning or tingling sensation in the hand caused by a build-up of pressure in the small tunnel that runs from the wrist to the lower palm (the carpal tunnel). ![]() ![]() a compressed ulnar nerve – the ulnar nerve starts in your neck and runs down the inside of your upper arm to your elbow, then down to the little finger side of your hand it can be compressed at any point, but the elbow is most commonly affected.diabetes – a condition in which there is too much glucose in the blood.It can be a sign of a wide range of health conditions, including: Sometimes, pins and needles can occur over a long period of time.

Temporary pins and needles can be eased by taking the pressure off the affected area. Putting weight on a body part (for example, by kneeling) or wearing tight shoes or socks can potentially cause pins and needles. This stops the nerves from sending important signals to the brain. This cuts off the blood supply to the nerves in that area. It happens when pressure is applied to a part of the body. Most people have temporary pins and needles from time to time. Pins and needles is usually temporary, but can sometimes be long-lasting (chronic). It’s usually felt in the arms, legs, hands or feet. Pins and needles is a pricking, burning, tingling or numbing sensation. ![]() Galileo made some improvements and first used the telescope for astronomy. The first telescope invented was a refractor invented by Dutch lensmaker Hans Lippershey in 1608. There are various designs of reflecting telescopes, but the original design by Isaac Newton is still popular today.Įxample of a Newtonian reflecting telescope In order to get the light out of the telescope, another mirror is used to direct the light to an eyepiece. A concave mirror is used to gather light and reflect it back to a focal point. Reflecting telescopes use mirrors instead of lenses to focus the light. This makes the object seem much closer than it really is. This lens takes the light from the focal point and spreads it out across the retina of your eye. This lens is a convex lens that bends the incoming light rays to a focal point within the telescope. The first lens is called the objective lens. ![]() The basic refracting telescope has two lenses. You can go here to learn more about the refraction of light using lenses. Refracting telescopes use lenses to bend the light to a specific focal point such that the object will be magnified to the viewer. These telescopes are called reflecting telescopes. The other type uses mirrors to focus the light of the image. Telescopes that use lenses are called refracting telescopes. One type uses lenses to magnify the image.
![]() A circular window is tougher and also suits the overall design. Oceans and seas put immense pressure on the ship’s body, and square or rectangular windows are more susceptible to stress and might become weak at the corners. Why are ship portholes round?Ī round shape is preferred to maintain a vessel’s structural integrity. They are bound in a frame and allow one to see outside. What is a porthole?Ī porthole is a small circular opening or a glass window in a ship, aeroplane, submarine or spacecraft. But just because of their utility, they are still used extensively on ships worldwide. One can find numerous antique maritime portholes for decoration purposes. The heaviness of the ship’s portholes also ensures that no damage is caused at any time on the boat. They offer resistance not only from sunlight but also from sea and rainwater. Ship portholes are generally because of the durability factor. Hence, the watertight glass cover protects the ship windows from breaking or damage.Ī ship’s porthole measures around two feet in diameter, while its weight can go up to around 100 pounds. The glass is put in a metal cover or steel frame with a shaft or screw to keep it firm. Brass portholes and bronze remain effective for a longer time. Materials such as brass and bronze are preferred over iron and steel because iron rusts because of seawater, and steel bends after a certain period. This process is called tempering, providing the glass does not break or shatter. Then this mixture is laid on top of a melting tin, ensuring that the proper shape of the glass is achieved. The process further involves constantly re-heating the mixture in huge furnaces so that the glass reaches its appropriate thickness. To make the glass, a mixture of silica, lime and ash is mixed, heated and cooled until the right consistency of glass is achieved. Making glass is known as sand-casting silica sand is the primary material for this process. The glass used in the portholes is compulsorily made involving sand. The materials used for building ship portholes are stainless steel, aluminium, brass, bronze, and iron. However, later on, portholes came to be built on every room and cabin on the ship. This construction pattern immensely helped the people working in these areas to work continuously for long hours. ![]() This allowed light and fresh air to enter those parts. Representation Image – Photograph by Flavio MestrovichĪ porthole was initially constructed to be a window in those areas of the ship where airing was a significant problem. For this, the height of the portholes is strategically decided, and one end of the portholes is hinged. The portholes are designed so that when a ship cruises into the middle of the seas, one can get the best possible ocean view from the ship’s porthole. ![]() They have retained their circular form and are unique compared to windows in other means of transportation. Portholes have been a part of ships since the beginning. What are the materials used for making portholes? ![]() The Suns, without Deandre Ayton (rib contusion) and Chris Paul (left groin strain), were always going to require magical performances from Devin Booker and Kevin Durant but it wasn’t discussed enough how much more difficult it would be to find them enough room to do so.ĭenver hyper-loaded its defense to contain space for those guys and was outstanding with its execution. It was deflating to just see them score like that, running down the floor getting easy buckets.” “It was pretty much the whole game,” Suns head coach Monty Williams said. During the last 90 seconds, the crowd got real quiet, sensing their squad was simply overmatched in a 44-26 rout. ![]() Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 17 of his 21 points in the quarter. They scored 22 of their first 27 points in the paint and ended the last 4:10 on a 23-2 run, scoring on 10 straight possessions. The first quarter was that from the Nuggets. It was not coming close to bordering on quitting in an embarrassing fashion like that group did.īut oftentimes, the best team in the world at some point in the playoffs will deliver a haymaker to self-anoint itself as such to the onlookers. ![]() Phoenix was focused for most of the opening frame. You know how Katniss Everdeen looked around in the Hunger Games when she rose up out of that tube? Like that. Zero focus, pressing like they were snatched by a giant crane machine and instantly dropped right into Footprint Center with no preparation, looking around the room all befuddled before hearing a whistle blow. Versus Dallas, the Suns were immediately in a haze. Tatum buried one 3 for the 84-83 lead and a second that made it 87-83 and put the Celtics in firm control of Game 6.Įmbiid and Tyrese Maxey each scored 26 points for the 76ers.Suns fail to show up in elimination Game 6 loss at home to Nuggets Tyrese Maxey hit two free throws with 5:25 left for an 83-81 edge. With a shot at their first conference final since 2001 at stake, the Sixers slogged through the first half before Joel Embiid flashed his MVP form and rallied the Sixers to a fourth-quarter lead. He missed 14 of his first 15 shots overall from the floor and his ineffectiveness was a key reason the Celtics couldn’t hold a 16-point lead. Tatum, who averaged 30.1 points in the regular season, never stopped shooting even as the misses kept coming. ![]() Boston trailed 3-2 last season in the second round against Milwaukee before it won Game 6 on the road and the clincher at home. The defending conference champs are in familiar territory. PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jayson Tatum missed his first six 3-pointers before he drilled two straight clutch ones late in the game that pushed the Celtics past Philadelphia to send the Eastern Conference semifinals back to Boston for Game 7. Ayton sustained a rib contusion in Tuesday’s Game 5 while Paul has been out the past four games with a strained left groin. The Suns were playing without injured starters Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul and were eliminated in a rout in the Western Conference semifinals at home for a second straight season. Jokic shot 13 of 18 from the field and added 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - averaging 9.5 points in the playoffs - scored 17 in the first quarter while Jokic added 14.Ĭaldwell-Pope finished with 21 points. The top-seeded Nuggets used a 23-2 run during the latter part of the first quarter to take a 44-26 lead and never looked back. The Nuggets will play in the conference finals for the first time since they lost to the Lakers in five games in the Florida bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, it was the Suns getting blown out on their home floor to end the season for the second straight year. PHOENIX (AP) - Nikola Jokic scored 32 points in another triple-double, Jamal Murray added 26 and the Denver Nuggets advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2020 by beating the short-handed Phoenix Suns 125-100 in Game 6 on Thursday night.ĭenver’s series victory comes two seasons after the Nuggets were embarrassed in a second-round postseason sweep by the Suns. ![]() The pawn can capture the opponent's chess piece by moving a step diagonally. The pawns are like the foot soldiers in a battle, taking up the front row. Only on the first move do you have the choice of moving it two steps forward. The eight pawn pieces of a chess player move one step forward from the second move onwards. Players need to know what are the 16 chess pieces called and how to move them around the chessboard. Lastly, you must put the queens next to the respective kings. If you are the player who has taken the white pieces, place the king on a black square next to one of the bishops in the inner row, and the player with the black pieces places the king in a white square. ![]() Then, you place both knights next to the two rooks.Īfter the knights, the bishops take their place next to them in the inner row. The first or front row comprises eight pawns and the second or inner row has the other pieces arranged strategically.įirstly, the two rooks take up the two corners of the inner row. For each player, you need to arrange the chess pieces in two rows on the opposite ends of the chessboard as follows: Since playing chess can only happen between two opponents, the two sets of 16 chess pieces are each colored equally in black and white. Staunton chess pieces or sets are amongst the best, and even chess game championships use them. In total, 32 chess pieces get divided into two halves of 16 pieces each. You have to play the chess game on a board comprising 64 squares colored alternately in black and white colors. Over the years, chess has undergone a series of evolutions, including changing chess figure names and different game moves. However, it is a debate with no definite answer, and all you can do is believe in stories and legends. The most popular belief is that it originated in northern India. The origin of the game of chess is often debatable, and some say it began in China, while others believe it started in India. ![]() Whatever happened to the 'brutal future sports' genre? There used to be loads of them. I recently acquired it for my Megadrive, and that's a pretty solid port too, although pretty bare bones when it comes to game play modes compared to other Megadrive sports games like FIFA Soccer and NHL Hockey. (In fact the publisher *literally* went under, the owner Robert Maxwell fell off his yacht and drowned.) The reason the C64 port isn't so well known is that the publisher went under a short time after release and all stock was recalled. The players are smaller and you can see a lot more of the pitch at once which makes a proper passing game easier to play. It's not very well known, but I think it actually plays better than the 16 bit versions of the game. In the end we never really clicked with it though, and moved on to Sensible Soccer as our game of choice for two player battles.Ī couple of years later there was a port of Speedball 2 to the Commodore 64. It reminded me a lot of the Blood Bowl board game actually, buying star players, trying to injure the opposition players etc. I was never any good at it, but I liked the setting and the simple management aspects it had in the single player mode. I first encountered the sequel on a friends Amiga, long before I owned one myself. Nothing to say on the first game, never played it unfortunately. Three word review : Brutal timeless classic. That was, and always will be good enough for me. I never bothered playing the remake that came out a while back simply because the original was still so good and whenever I wanted a game I'd just fire up and emulator and spend an hour or so right back there having fun. Really nice memories of playing this game as a kid, yeah. My school friends and I even named our five-a-side footy team Brutal Deluxe (a reference somewhat lost on our teachers but we didn't care). I remember we took our console with us when we went to stay with family in the countryside as kids and our ancient cousin (who probably only would have been about 25 looking back!) played it with us all day long. I loved the fact you could upgrade your players stats, and from what I remember there was a fairly deep championship/career mode which I ploughed hours/days/months in to. We both had our tactics, he'd go for goals and I'd go for the multipliers and various point targets around the arena. My brother and I absolutely played it to death. We were eventually caught and reprimanded severely, but it was worth it! I got my own copy on the Sega Master System a couple of years later, and thought it was an excellent version (I've played it again recently and its held up surprisingly well). ![]() We used to sneak out of school on our lunch breaks (highly forbidden) and play this on his computer. A school friend owned an Amiga, and to the rest of us playing on our Amstrads and Spectrums it seemed like full on arcade quality games in the comfort of your home. I never played the original, but have fond memories of the sequel. The sour taste of Bermuda buttercup and other members of the genus is due to the presence of oxalic acid, which is also found in spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, grapefruit, chives and rhubarb. Fruits are a narrow capsule described as “explosively dehiscent”. Flowers consist of five clawed, radial petals ranging from yellow to white to purplish or pinkish. Members of the genus are characteristically herbaceous annuals or perennials with fibrous or woody roots, often producing bulbs, tubers or rhizomes, with palmate leaves with three small leaflets (arranged in a typical “clover” fashion). The genus Oxalis is the only member of the family represented in California and the continental United States. In addition to “lucky clover” AKA “four-leaf clover” (Oxalis tetraphylla), is the sensitivity plant (Biophytumspp.), whose leaves fold up when touched. The family consists of only five genera with around 880 species. The oxalis family (Oxalidaceae) is distributed across the tropics, subtropics and temperate regions of North and South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. Also known as sour grass, for its lemony-tasting peduncles, Bermuda buttercup is an aggressive weed on moist, loamy slopes near the coast, forming dense, lush green patches in the spring, dying back to copious numbers of buried bulbs when the rains cease. Aside from creeping woodsorrel, perhaps none is more notorious along the Central Coast than Bermuda buttercup (O. Still, a few species have naturalized in California. At least eight non-native species of oxalis may be encountered in our local gardens, although most are rarely found outside of cultivated areas. ![]() Growing up in the nursery business, I recall very clearly weeding potted plants full of creeping woodsorrel (Oxalis corniculata) and having its seed pods explode in my face. A popular potted plant in its own right, the genus includes many species of weeds that appear spontaneously in potted plants and lawns. Plant information taken from the Plants For A Future.If you garden in San Francisco, or just about anywhere in the western U.S., you’re likely familiar with Oxalis. People with a tendency to rheumatism, arthritis, gout, kidney stones or hyperacidity should take especial caution if including this plant in their diet since it can aggravate their condition. ![]() The quantity of oxalic acid will be reduced if the leaves are cooked. Perfectly all right in small quantities, the leaves should not be eaten in large amounts since oxalic acid can bind up the body's supply of calcium leading to nutritional deficiency. Known hazards of Oxalis pes-caprae: The leaves contain oxalic acid, which gives them their sharp flavour. ![]() Medicinal use of Bermuda Buttercup: None known We have found that it is better to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in light shade in a cold frame until they are well established before planting them out in late spring or early summer.Ĭultivation of the herb: Roadsides and grassy places in S. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and plant them out in late spring or early summer. Propagation of Bermuda Buttercup: Seed - best sown as soon as ripe in a cold frame. Habitat of the herb: Roadsides and grassy places in S. |
