Finishing all campaign missions will also unlock "Nightmares" mode, where players can replay the entire campaign with a new narrative, as well as zombies replacing most of the normal enemies. The game features a "realistic" difficulty mode, in which players will get defeated if they are hit by one bullet. The campaign features its own progression system, featuring unlock tokens which must be used to acquire different weapons and gears as they progress through the campaign. ![]() In addition, the player can customize their character's appearance and clothing. The campaign in Black Ops III is designed to support 4-player cooperative gameplay, allowing for bigger, more open level design and less corridor shooting. ![]() A sequel, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, was released on October 12, 2018. It was a commercial success, with it becoming the top-selling retail game in the US in 2015, and one of the most successful titles released for the eighth generation of video game consoles.įollowing the years after its release, Black Ops III has gained a cult following and the online modes still remain active, with an average of over 10,000 players a month. The seventh-generation console versions in particular were singled-out for their lack of a campaign and numerous features, as well as them being online-only. However, it was also criticized for its story and lack of innovation. Upon release, the game received generally positive reviews from critics, praising the gameplay, Zombies mode, and amount of content. The game also features a standalone Zombies campaign mode, and a "Nightmares" mode which replaces all enemies as zombies.Īnnounced in April 2015, the game is the first Call of Duty video game released after Activision ended its partnership with Microsoft Studios and instead partnered with Sony Computer Entertainment, which secured the timed exclusivity of the game's downloadable content. As the player character is cybernetically enhanced, players have access to various special activities. The game's campaign is designed to support 4-player cooperative gameplay, allowing for bigger, more open level design and less corridor shooting. Similar to its predecessors, the story follows a group of black ops soldiers. A feature-limited version developed by Beenox and Mercenary Technology that only supports multiplayer modes was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and was also the final Call of Duty title released on those platforms.īlack Ops III takes place in 2065, 40 years after the events of Black Ops II, in a world facing upheaval from climate change and new technologies. It was released on PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on November 6, 2015. It is the twelfth entry in the Call of Duty series and the sequel to the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Zombies Chronicles hits PlayStation 4 first on May 16.Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a 2015 first-person shooter game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. You can also head to Call of Duty's site for a timeline that you can explore. You can see the full discussion between Blundell and JCbackfire below. The pack features the following classic maps recreated in Black Ops III:īlundell calls the remakes "faithful," stating that it was important to remain authentic to the original experiences. a lot of people hadn't experienced them, or they kind of experienced them in little bits and bobs in different places."

The other thing to look at is how strong each of these pieces is. Now, I looked at this very closely and I could not see a single crack basically. Okay let’s compare the concrete cured under the fan to the concrete cured under plastic. These cracks happen for the exact same reason that mudflats develop cracks as they dry out. From here they don’t look that different but if you look super closely you can see these sort of thin hairline cracks. This one was cured under the plastic wrap and this one under the fan. So these are the two concrete tupperwares side by side. I’m covering one of them with plastic wrap to prevent the water from evaporating and the other one I’m putting right in front of a fan to encourage as much water to evaporate as possible. So I’m mixing up a batch of cement- and splitting it up into two cement containers, also known as tupperwares in my bottom drawer. What does that look like? Let’s go find out. And if that happens too quickly the reaction won’t have enough time to fully complete. So as the concrete dries through evaporation you’re actually losing one of your reactants. Water has to be available for the calcium silicate hydrate to form, that’s what the word hydrate is doing there, it means contains water. The short version of it though is that cement plus water forms calcium silicate hydrate, which is made up of calcium oxide, silicon dioxide, water, calcium hydroxide, each in some, you know, varying amount. ![]() Now I would love to show you the exact chemical reaction here with all the reactants and the exact products you get out of it, but it’s different every time! There’s no fixed stoichiometry, there’s no fixed crystal structure. Add water to that mixture and you get a chemical reaction that produces what’s called calcium silicate hydrate. So what’s actually happening? Well, cement is mostly calcium silicates and calcium aluminates. In fact, it’s actually better for the concrete strength if it doesn’t dry out. The concrete hardens through a process called “curing”, not from drying out. Turns out though, that is not at all what’s happening. As that wet sidewalk dries out, the concrete hardens. What does that mean? If you’ve ever seen a freshly poured concrete sidewalk, and maybe or maybe not put a palm print into it, then you’ve seen what looks like concrete drying. ![]() It’s the material that buildings, sidewalks, and all kinds of other stuff is made from.Īnd cement is like the glue that holds concrete together, except it’s the weirdest and most counter-intuitive glue out there. Cement is one ingredient in concrete.Ĭoncrete is made of rocks cement and water. ![]() People use those words interchangeably all the time, but they are two different things. To answer that question we need to start with some concrete basics. So how did a modern concrete building, built in 1981, just fail? Concrete buildings don’t just fall down on their own, even earthquakes aren’t supposed to bring them down. would cause the Champlain Tower South to just collapse.īack in the spring we were working on a video about concrete chemistry, and then the surfside condo collapse happened, and that changed things a bit.

It has by far the cleanest ingredients compared to other vegan protein powders on the market.It contains 18 to 21 grams of protein per 2 scoops (25-gram serving). If you're on a vegan diet, this vegan protein powder is a great alternative to whey protein.Here are a few of the reasons why we LOVE this protein and feel comfortable recommending it. The vegan protein powder we use and recommend is the Digestive Support Protein by Nuzest made from golden peas. Most dark chocolate chips with more than 60% cocoa are vegan. You can use regular white or brown sugar if needed.Īlmond milk can be substituted by any other plant-based milk alternative.Ĭhocolate chips are what make these cookies irresistible. Plus, it improves the texture of the cookies. You can replace it with vegan butter (in sticks or blocks, not vegan butter spread) if you prefer.Ĭoconut sugar will slightly sweeten the cookies and mask the taste of the pea protein that is unpleasant to certain people. You can read more about this protein powder and why it's actually the only one we would recommend below.Ĭoconut oil prevents the protein cookies from being dry and brittle. You could however use the chocolate protein powder from Nuzest's digestive protein line. So far, we have only tested the recipe with this vegan protein powder, which is based on pea protein and cannot recommend any substitution. You'll only need small amounts because it absorbs moisture very quickly, which is great because we all know that vegan protein powder isn't cheap. Vegan vanilla protein powder is incredible in baked goods and is such a great alternative to gluten-free flour. You can buy almond flour or make your own by blending whole almonds in a high-speed blender. Combined with vegan protein powder, it provides a fluffy and gooey texture. Always keep ground flax seeds and flaxseed meal in the fridge to prevent it from getting rancid.Īlmond flour is actually high in protein and therefore perfect to make homemade protein cookies. Their gel-like texture acts as a binding agent and replaces the eggs in vegan cookies. It's also dairy-free, egg-free and gluten-free.įlax eggs are made from ground flax seeds combined with water. Unlike many other vegan protein cookies recipes, this one is made without bananas, oats, coconut flour, peanut butter or almond butter.This vegan protein cookie recipe can be made in less than 15 minutes and popped in the oven right away. This is a no-chill cookie recipe! If you've ever made regular chocolate chip cookies, you know how annoying it can be to chill the cookie dough for an hour.Unlike other snacks, these cookies will actually keep you full until your next meal. It makes the perfect after-workout snack or afternoon snack if you have a sweet tooth. ![]()

Not known why this happened except that Gates got married on an island in Hawaii, and Alice was in Maui at the time. Here's an obscure one but worth mentioning:ī"ill Gates' Wedding - Although this was reported in the media (USA Today, etc.) It was not true. But no, there never was anything resembling a gross-out contest. There were people who were terribly disappointed that I never ate shit on-stage. ![]() The rumor was that I went so far as to eat shit on-stage.

Playboy One of the more colorful legends maintains Zappa and Alice Cooper had a gross-out contest on-stage After Cooper allegedly squashed some live baby chicks, Zappa supposedly picked up a plastic spoon and ate a plate of steaming feces. Of course there was never any 'Gross Out' contest.įrom a Frank Zappa Interview in Playboy Magazine: The names mentioned have varied over the years, but it's often Frank Zappa and Alice Cooper. This is an oldie but a goodie going back to the very early 70s if not before. Again it was a joke, and no one with any intelligence thought it was anything more then a publicity campaign, but of course some media sources still reported it as if it was serious. There was even a website for the campaign. Ban on taking selfies, except on a designated National Selfie Day.Ban on talking during movies in movie theatres.Cupholders required for every airplane seat.The promotional campagn of course centered around the 'A Troubled Man For A Troubled Time' catchphrase, and even put him up for election in the UK, dispite there being no election at the time! This time Alice even put out a list of things he would do if elected. In 2016 Alice reissued 'Elected' in time for the presidential election in the USA. This was in RIP magazine, probably 1986 or 1987, in the bit they devoted to random news bits. "No, he never actually campaigned, but he had a lot of fun toying with the idea, suggesting that people vote for him as a write-in candidate and giving wise ass, but good reasons why they should. He said, "In Arizona we had three governors in a row thrown out of office and people asked me why I didn't run for office. Meanwhile, Alice tells me that there's absolutely no truth to the rumour that he intends to get involved in Politics in his home state of Arizona. However for now we'll leave this as untrue, as at the time most people were saying it, it hadn't yet thappened.Īlice never ran for Governor! He mentioned it *as a joke* in some interview ("A Troubled MAn For A Troubled Time") and it all got out of hand with the mainstream press mentioning it frequently over the subsequent years. He certainly played golf with future president Donald Trump at least once at a charity event. Alice has appeared at probably over 100 celebrity golf tournaments in the last 2 years so it's actually quite likely he HAS now played with an ex-president or vice president. Now when Brian said that it was likely true, however since a lot has happend and it may not strictly speaking be true any more. "The funny one is that when someone slags Alice for golfing, it is almost always about him golfing with a President or a Vice President. When talking about Alice's golf obssession it's often stated that he used to play with Presidents, or vice-presidents. This next one is often repeated to this day. It was equally untrue of course, but at least these two looked vaguely similar. For him it was the suggestion he was Josh Saviano, who played the part of Paul Pfeffier in 'The Wonder Years'. Interestingly Marilyn Manson had almost the exact same rumour circulating about him in the 90s/200s. Alice even took to wearing a t-shirt saying "No, I am not Eddie Haskell". Haskell was a character, played by actor Ken Osmond, in a show called 'Leave It To Beaver'. It was regurgitated endlessly in the mid to late seventies newspaper letters columns when the press would take any opportunity to run an Alice Cooper related story. This is a very American one, as no one outside the US would know who Eddie Haskell was. Of course Alice has never done either of these things, but these are genuine quotes from US newspapers.Īlice Cooper Is Eddie Haskell from the 'Leave it to Beaver' TV show. The Following Are Untrue! "Didn't he blow up sheep on stage?" or "She would never go to one of his shows because he slaughtered cows on stage." ![]() Here's some of the lesser known rumours that were passed off as true, however bizarre or rediculous, and the truth behind them. Over the years, especially in the 1970s, many runours were circulated regarding Alice and what he may or may not have done or been involved in. ![]() Sleep disorders are diagnosed by sleep studies, non-invasive overnight examinations that monitor the patient while they sleep. Shift Work DisorderĪ common sleep disorder is Shift Work Disorder, which occurs in individuals whose jobs require them to work late at night or early in the morning and disrupt normal circadian rhythms. It usually occurs with or just before the onset of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease, multiple system atrophy, narcolepsy, or Lewy body dementia. REM Behavioral Disorder occurs when people act out vivid dreams at night and often have violent movements and vocal outbursts. Restless leg syndrome or periodic leg movement disorder is another condition that disrupts restful sleep and occurs involuntarily during the night. If accompanied by cataplexy, muscle control loss can cause injury when they have a sudden onset of sleep. Narcolepsy is also a significant sleep disorder that causes people to feel exhausted during the day and can suddenly fall asleep. Both forms of sleep apnea can often be treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level positive air pressure (BIPAP) however, some people cannot tolerate sleeping with a mas, Narcolepsy While often associated with obesity, central sleep apnea can result from a stroke or other conditions that affect the brain stem. Another form of sleep apnea is central sleep apnea, resulting in choking episodes during the night. Obstructive sleep apnea can result from large tonsils or adenoids but is also associated with obesity. Sleep apnea is a significant cause of excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue. Sleep apnea is another common sleep-related disorder, which results from blockage of the upper airway. Insomnia has a variety of causes, including certain behavioral health disorders such as anxiety or depression, but physical illness and pain, medications, and certain neurological conditions can also cause insomnia. Some people cannot fall asleep even when they are tired, while others can fall asleep easily but cannot stay asleep throughout the night and obtain sufficient restorative sleep. Sleep disorders are not limited to insomnia, and insomnia presents in different ways. What Kinds of Sleep Disorders Are There? Insomnia If a sleep disorder causes excessive daytime sleepiness and cannot be effectively treated, it may be the basis of a mental health disability benefits claim. However, those are not the only conditions that fall under the heading of “sleep disorders” - there are a variety of sleep disorders that manifest themselves in different ways.

The main goal of Celestron was to provide consumers with an affordable mirror-based telescope that has a wide aperture and focal length at a consumer-friendly price. The Celestron Edge HD is a smart iteration of a normal Schmidt Cassegrain design. The Edge HD, unlike a ‘normal’ Schmidt Cassegrain telescope, produces aberration free, flat field images Check out the current price of the Celestron Edge HD 8″ at Agena (USA/WW), or Astroshop (EU/WW). ![]() This is due to the fact that the Edge HD is a reflector (mirror-based) telescope instead of a lens-based telescope, which is cheaper to produce. As an example, in the price range of an Edge HD, you’ll be looking at refractors that have an aperture of about 110 to 130mm, and a focal length of about 800 to 1000mm, whereas the Edge HD offers you with a whopping 200mm aperture and a 2000mm focal length. This is where refractors (lens-based telescope) get expensive for consumers. However, in order to zoom in on smaller objects such as the planets in our solar system, or some of the smaller deep-sky targets, a telescope with a bigger aperture and a longer focal length is needed. In my case, I already own a widefield apochromatic refractor – my TS 80MM F/6 Photoline APO refractor – which I use for wide(r) field astrophotography with great satisfaction. So it often comes down to looking at the best option – given the goals you have in mind. Each telescope has its own pros and cons. The Edge HD offers a bigger aperture and longer focal length than APO refractorsĬhoosing “the right” telescope can be hard, and actually I’m convinced that there is no such thing. Finally, I’ll share my “first light” experiences using the Edge HD on the moon and some of our planets. In this blog, I’ll first share my thoughts on what kind of telescope I was looking for, and what advantages the Edge HD had to offer over other telescopes in a similar price range that convinced me to buy an 8″ Edge HD. Additionally, the Edge HD can be customized with aftermarket add-ons to serve various purposes, including planetary, small DSO, or widefield observation. This results in high-resolution images with sharp, pinpoint stars from edge to edge. The Edge HD is renowned for its astrophotography capabilities, thanks to its lens-based system that corrects for off-axis coma and field curvature. ![]() Its compact and lightweight design, weighing 6.3 kg (14 lbs) and measuring 432mm (17″) in length, ensures easy portability, setup, and storage.
