Our atmosphere provides little protection against meteors larger than a truck. Others have suggested we use nuclear weapons to “kick” an asteroid from its orbit, or even to shatter it into smaller debris – a rather dim idea that misleads us into believing a single bullet is worse than the blast from a shotgun. A steady pulse of projectile “paintballs” could also do the trick. Some have suggested we strap rocket motors to a threatening rock and nudge it away. In the decades since Enever’s article, writers, scientists, and engineers have proposed various ways to avert such disasters. Although geology was still reluctant to admit to any form of “catastrophism,” eschewing biblical explanations, many read and pondered … seriously. ![]() He was the first to put it all together and publish in a respected and widely available forum. Enever surveyed the available material on meteor and asteroid strikes, then published his own calculations and analysis of what such strikes could do, and have done, to the Earth, with cinematically vivid prose and equally terrifying physics. Enever published his ground-breaking article, “Giant Meteor Impact,” in the periodical Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact. Ocean hits are worse than land hits, not just because of immense tidal waves, but because of the vast quantities of super-heated water vapor and dust that spread from the impact to shroud the entire Earth. Scientists believe it was the blast of a 6-mile-wide asteroid off the coast of Mexico some 64 million years ago that changed Earth’s weather for years and hastened the departure of the dinosaurs. Since oceans cover two-thirds of the Earth’s surface, it’s more likely debris will hit water than land. To this day, a steady rain of meteors falls on Earth – some of them left-over pebbles and dust from worn-out comets, others from the “asteroid belt,” still others from big strikes on the Moon and Mars. That impact released the equivalent of 20 megatons of TNT and left a crater 4,000 feet wide.īoth Mars and Earth were long ago hit by planet-sized objects, one spinning off our Moon, the other shaping two distinctly different hemispheres on Mars. As kids we learn about the Barringer Crater in Arizona, a relatively recent formation – 50,000 years old – caused by a rock weighing several times more an aircraft carrier. Life in our solar system has always been dangerous. That’s not an extinction event, but it could easily cause billions of deaths and months, if not years, of climate disruption. If it hit Earth, the impact would unleash a blast the equivalent of over a billion tons of TNT. A tiny collision with another object, way out beyond Mars? What could change between now and 2029, or during any orbit thereafter?Īpophis masses at more than 20 million tons. ![]() Something could happen at any point in Apophis’ orbit to modify its course, just a smidgen. Yet there’s always a possibility we don’t have these measurements exactly right. In 2036, it will probably pass by at a reassuring 14 million miles. In that year, no doubt Apophis will arouse even more attention, because it will be visible in the daytime sky. In 2029, it will swoop in close enough to put some of our orbiting satellites in peril – 20,000 miles. This year, its 1,000-foot bulk approached to within 9 million miles. Named after the evil Egyptian serpent god Apophis, lord of chaos and darkness – and recently dubbed the “doomsday asteroid” – it flies past Earth every seven years.

Talking about the X90 Pro’s camera is like one giant bar trivia book – we could spend hours just talking about the engineering marvels behind making the primary sensor.īut we have the 50-megapixel Sony IMX989 1-inch primary sensor tuned by ZEISS. Vivo has been trying to one-up the wow factor of that all these years, but we think they might have found the Holy Grail this time. The X50 Pro was the first smartphone in the world to somehow fit a gimbal in the camera module, something that other smartphone makers still hesitate to do. Over the last three years, Vivo’s X-series has pushed smartphone photography to the limits. Vivo X90 Pro Review: Packing the ZEISS-entials Nevertheless, we don’t think it has a big impact because we still enjoyed watching streamable content on the X90 Pro’s vivid and contrast display for hours. In terms of entertainment, the display is perhaps as good as last year, except the resolution has taken a hit from being QHD+ to 2K. Accompanying this is a pair of stereo speakers plucked straight from the X80 Pro. ![]() ![]() It’s got all the goodies you’d expect from a modern flagship – HDR10+, 10-bit colours, and 1,300 nits of brightness. A stainless steel ring around the camera module with plastic skirting protects this monstrosity from scratches and drops.Īt the front is a sprawling 6.78-inch AMOLED display. If you thought the legendary Mi 11 Ultra had a big camera bump, you should check this out. It bears the embossed motto of ‘Xtreme Imagination’ in a handwritten font which takes you back to the early 2010s.Ībove the Skyline sits the ‘Big Eye’, or the large circular camera island, which is more of a continent if you ask us. A thin strip of the frame also extends to the back of the phone, forming the ‘Skyline’ – yeah, it’s another one of those seemingly deep concepts from Vivo. The Vivo X90 Pro flaunts a metal frame with a glossy finish to maintain the high-profile look. To click some rather adventurous shots, we dipped inside the Red River waters in Vietnam during a boat ride, and it came back totally unscathed. Interestingly, despite the Faux Leather finish, the X90 Pro offers an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. The black colour completes the stealthy and mystical appearance of the phone. It’s wrapped on top of Fluorite AG Glass, which gives it a nice, sturdy feeling in the hand. The faux leather finish of the Vivo X90 Pro is unique and oddly satisfying.

He said the media in Hong Kong were free to monitor the HKSAR Government's work. The spokesman said the judiciary was independent, and the SAR was underpinned by the rule of law. "Such attempts to undermine the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong only expose their own weakness and faulty arguments, and are doomed to fail," the spokesman said. The spokesman said the politicians' report was "full of fallacious remarks". The HKSAR Government also strongly disapproves of their ignorance of the fact that the implementation of the NSL has enabled the livelihood and economic activities of the Hong Kong community at large to resume as normal and the business environment to be restored," a government spokesman said in a statement. "The HKSAR Government firmly opposes the relevant UK politicians' repeated malicious slander against the NSL in attempts of interfering in Hong Kong's law-based governance and undermining the rule of law of Hong Kong. The report from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Hong Kong of the United Kingdom criticised the implementation of the NSL and said civil rights and freedoms were under attack in the SAR. The government on Tuesday rejected a report from Britain, accusing it of making "fact-twisting remarks" and smearing the implementation of the National Security Law (NSL), and said British politicians should stop interfering in Hong Kong matters. ![]() Unfortunately, the venue is less than ideal. It’s no longer who you know that gets you access to the mass market… you have access the market can discover your work, and you can even target an audience and drop it right in front of them anytime you want. I love the access that technology has given us to tell stories and promote our work to anyone and everyone. ![]() I both love and hate the brave new world of photography. That thumb is going to keep scrolling even when the brain says, “hold on, that was interesting!” Too late, it’s at least three swipes up your feed. And worse, the public lost its ability to focus on a meaningful image for more than a second. When the gatekeepers of the photo viewing market fell to the open free-for-all arena of social media, blogs, and Wix sites, the world gained access to a lot of great photographers and those great images instantly got lost in the junk pile of cappuccino photos and eye makeup videos. Who has the time? Getting Past the Gatekeepers But this means that there are over 500 million people sifting through 95 million photos/videos that are posted to Instagram every single day! No wonder the people in the grocery store line never stopped swiping through photos on their phones. Whether the masses will see their images depends now on searches, algorithms, and trends rather than an editorial board. Today, any photographer can reach the masses with a free social media account and a smartphone. So the vast majority of photographers either maintained an expensive hobby or continued to submit work to the gatekeepers in an effort to reach the mass viewers. Sure, you could self-publish a book, but it was either that or buy a car. In the 1990s, the internet was still in its infancy and the gatekeepers to a mass market of viewers for our photographs were the publishers of books and magazines. We would take field trips to the book store and browse through all genres of magazines and books doing research on which publishing companies were using photos. It made me think twice about how impactful my images are when I post them on Instagram.ĭuring my undergraduate studies, I took a course from Mary V Swanson, that was based in the business of photography and getting published. ![]() So they were consuming images, or videos without ever once stopping to appreciate the imagery they were seeing. They were constantly sliding their finger up or down the screen. I noticed that none of them were reading.

![]() The M1903 Springfield and the Scoped Kar-98k used by the Snipers will instantly kill regardless of where they hit, and a grenade or direct hit from the Bazooka or Panzerscreck used by the Rocketeers will do the same. The Kar-98k used by the Axis Rifleman, M1 Garand, K34 will instantly kill a enemy provided it hits their head or torso.One-Hit Kill: The soldiers are all pathetically frail and will die in two shots at most, but some weapons have this as a absolute guarantee.Emergency Weapon: The knives used by the Allied troops and the shovelpade used by the Axis troops.We dare you to try rocket jumping with them. BFG: The single-shot rocket launchers used by the Rocketeer class.In addition to this, both are virtually useless when not deployed, as the recoil will immediately destroy your aim. 30 Caliber Machine Gun used by the Allied Machine Gunner doesn't overheat, but has less ammo and a slower firing speed. The MG-42 Machine Gun used by the Axis Machine Gunner has arguably the highest rate of fire out of all weapons in the game and will pretty much kill anyone in one or two shots, but it's notably the only weapon that can overheat, rendering it useless until it cools down. Awesome, but Impractical: The Machine Gunner class, mainly due to the machine guns they carry. ![]() Armor Is Useless: Averted - unlike in Counter-Strike, these soldiers aren't armoured at all - which would most likely be at least a little useful in this situation, as the soldiers' health goes down so fast they're practically One-Hit Point Wonders.A.K.A.-47: Averted for the most part, as every weapon is referred to by its correct name.Adapted Out: The British faction from the original game is absent entirely from Source.SQUAD, CHARGE YOUR TROPES, WE'RE MOVING OUT!: In 2005, it received a Updated Re-release in the form of Day of Defeat: Source. The game features several different classes for the player to play as, although unlike in Team Fortress Classic these classes are mostly the same besides their weaponry. Adding to the atmosphere of the game, any players killed will need to wait for a " reinforcements" timer to tick down before they respawn as the next wave of troops. The game has a heavy emphasis upon realism, teamwork and co-operation. Set in the year 1944 during the Second World War, specifically the European theatre, the game features two opposing teams, the Allied Forces and the Axis Powers, competing against each other in Capture the Flag and attempts at detonating each other's structures first. Day of Defeat: Source Day of Defeat is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game from the creators of Counter-Strike that like its predecessor began life as a Game Mod for Half-Life before being picked up by Valve and given a retail release. ![]() It depends on the specific circumstances.

I think that this makes the server seem too dark and I feel that it would be better if it was always set to day instead. However, this server makes it so the day/night cycle is always set to night.

Its colorful design and simple layout allows players to easily navigate it and get to the games they want to play. Overall, it seems that “The Hive” is a well-designed and user-friendly Minecraft server. This addition to the game allows for ease of access to the minigames for the player. This was not originally part of the server, and before its addition, the players had to enter the building with the game they wanted to play, and manually click the sign to join the game. This brings up the “The Hive Games” menu, which allows the player to easily click on whatever game they want to play and instantly be put into the game. An easy way to join any game on this server is to select the compass in the inventory and right-click it. To join the game, the character can either click on the NPC (non-player character) with the name of the game above their head or enter the buildings with the games’ name on them and click a sign to join. Immediately, they can see two minigames in buildings directly in front of them, those two being “Mineville” and “Survival Games”. When the player first enters “The Hive”, they are met with a colorful, atmospheric lobby with many fellow players hanging around in it. The overall objective of “The Hive” is to play minigames with and interact with other online players for fun and entertainment. This multiplayer server has many games for online players to play together in. However, online multiplayer servers can change the game’s objective.
