![]() The Xbox Game Preview version coming this week has a matching content drop on Steam, called Preseason 4, and the console game is heavily informed by what Systemic Reaction’s PC community has been doing so far, Vickers said. Systemic Reaction wants to build up a strong sense of a world where humans, who escaped to orbit to flee the tyrannosaur tyranny, face a dynamic threat on the ground, with a feeling of gained or lost momentum. Second Extinction therefore needs a lot of players hammering away at the the game. So the idea is that, even though these are kind of very scripted missions, they change from week to week, play session to play session in interesting ways.” That will introduce extra challenges, which could have unique objectives and slight twists. So if you see a lot of players failing in a lot of areas, then that will increase dinosaur presence. “Twice a week, the players’ actions will be tallied up, where they’ve succeeded at things, where they’ve failed,” Vickers, Second Extinction’s game director, told me. The ‘war effort’ on Xbox Series X needs a lot of players, says Second Extinction’s director Random encounters get a lot more frequent in areas of greater dinosaur activity, and in extreme infestations, players can face random firefights bigger than the boss battle awaiting them in the story. That can alter where the player’s fireteam of three begins its operations, and the order in which they might tackle some objectives. A place with a lot of action, even if human players are prevailing, can get marked as too dangerous for the orbital drop that begins a mission series. It’s called the “war effort,” which is an ongoing meta-game in Second Extinction where parts of the map get more or less dangerous and dinosaur-infested depending on how players themselves have performed there. What drives a lot of that action, Vickers explained, is the reason why Second Extinction launched six months ago for Windows PC on Steam Early Access, in advance of another preliminary run with Xbox Game Preview beginning April 28. Developers Simon Vickers and Anaïs Palm took me on a tour this past Wednesday, with a rather meaty mission chapter that provided 60 minutes of fast-paced action, and multiple firefights that ended thigh-deep in dino remains. It matches the how-am-I-still-standing relentlessness of Doom and Left 4 Dead with production values just as strong, an emphasis on cooperative play, and a larger meta-game affecting the world’s sizable map. Give developer Systemic Reaction some credit, though Second Extinction, originally announced for Xbox Series X a year ago, is not formulaic. ![]() In the case of this game, it’s dinosaurs and a first-person shooter. The elevator pitch for Second Extinction might sound like a kid’s breakfast cereal ad, wherein two awesome, yet disparate things unite to form one big, even more awesome thing.

![]() The owners and employees must post the 5 star reviews! Go to Chen's restaurant on North Second St. Sadly, there wasn't anything good about this meal. My "chicken chow mien" was a bowl filled with uncooked onions, 4 thin slivers of celery, and a few suspiciously hard to identify pieces of meat covered with a flavorless tan water. ![]() $$-$$$ depending on what you order for either meal / drink.This place is terrible! We couldn't believe how poor the quality was. Reservations would be appreciated as the weekends can become busy both with diners & special events. This was not our first time to Franchesco's as its a local establishment but our first time writing a review. Restrooms well stocked and easily accessible. Plenty of parking with flat access walking into the building as well as a car port to pick-up or drop off guests. Drinks and dessert served promptly as well. All four meals were served timely, hot in temperature, and as ordered. We all 4 had different meals - including 1 pizza. ![]() Dining room was clean and guests were comfortably spaced around the dining room. Live piano with guitar music was present during our meal - may have been a little too. Our reservation was taken politely over the telephone and our special request was honored without issue. No second cup of coffee, but a $90.00 bill was promptly presented. Asked for a box and said we would take it home and cook it ourself. Came out again a few minutes later still the same, no warmer, no more done, the vegetable was cooler, and the potato wouldn’t even,melt the butter they finally brought. The two carrots and piece pf asparagus (chef’s vegetable) were room temperature and the potato was lukewarm and had no butter or sour cream.Īgain, we flagged down the waitress and sent it back to have it all heated. When the steak that was ordered medium with a heavy char on the outside came, it had no char, was medium rare and cold. Instead of a side salad, we got a large bowl of salad,no plates and she just set it in the middle of the table and turned to leave until we pointed out that we needed plates. By now we have already been here an hour. We asked if we would be getting our salad before the steak so she seemed surprised, but went back to get it. The waitress finally brought my wine, never brought my husband the cup pf coffee he ordered when we ordered our food. Ordered a $40.00 steak to share with a baked potato and “chef’s vegetable”. I wanted a second glass of wine, but had to flag down the waitress for this and to take our order. The bruschetta came, still no plate for the appetizer. There were no bread plates, but it was just the two of. We ordered drinks and bruschetta as an appetizer. We got bread, oil to dip in, and water fairly quickly. We were seated in “Benny’s” it was that, the bar or outside. Got there and the first disappointment was that the dining room is not open during the week now. had music Tuesday through Friday evening. The website says the main dining room (where we wanted to eat because it is a beautiful room). Haven’t been in a while since the last time was not a good experience, but it was a while ago. Might be the best Italian in Rockford and I’ll explore more the next time in town. Our server was very attentive and polite. The bar scene was pretty lively and this was the middle of the week. I went with a cheese tortellini with a tomato cream sauce which I enjoyed. For mains, I actually would have liked more pasta dish options. The calamari was just ok, but the mozzarella was very good. We split a couple apps, the calamari and the mozzarella. Same menu for both with deferent atmospheres. We asked the server what the deal was and he explained they expanded the casual side which used to have a private room and then Francesco’s is the more formal dining side. One is Francesco’s and one is Bennys, the second being the more casual of the 2. It was a little confusing when we entered as there were 2 separate dining areas. I was in town on business and went with a colleague.
![]() ![]() You probably also know, that on the OEM 250R cylinders, the product code for the year, and the model is casted into the sleeve at the bottom. Most people familiar with 250R parts know that the Honda product code (Used for ordering parts, and identifying specific year models by a 3 place code utilizing numbers and letters) for the late model 250Rs is HA2. Or is it an actual 1987 year model seat that came to some un-suspecting guy wanting a replacement for his 1986? It certainly did generate a firestorm of interest at the time. The differences in the seat covers from the 87 had in fact remained relatively un-noticed until this one showed up for auction. Is is an aftermarket cover? The attention to detail required to do it would have to be pretty keen. There have been no others since it was on eBay back in 2003. This is the only seat of this design known to ever exist. ![]() Notice the difference? The A logo is different from all other previous years and designs, exclusive to the 87 only. Compare it with the seat on the machine in the photo shoots above. What your looking at here, appears to be the seat off of an '87 year model 250R. This is great piece of evidence, probably the best that there is towards proving an entire machine existed once. ![]() The decision of the existence, or non existence of the machines will be left up to the reader to make. Lets review a few things that lend credibility to the possibility, but don't necessarily concrete them. While there have been countless claims of a "Friend" or "Cousin" that had one, there has never been anything substantial to back it up. Over the years, the physical evidence to back up all these statements and claims has been hard to track down. A small caption under a picture of the 1986 ATC250R on page 67 states Along these same lines, in the November 1987 issue of DirtWheels magazine, there is an evaluation of all the high performance models. So was this a publicity shot that was taken in Canada, or Japan, or possibly even here at American Honda, before the Consent Decree took place? Its hard to say and that question my never be answered. You can click on it to read it yourself, but it says that the 87 models WERE available in Canada after all! You'll notice that this looks to be a studio shot, probably for a brochure or some other type of literature, but the background is definitely different from the original 1987 model line up brochure we have above. It is a small blurb from the January 1987 edition of 3Wheeling magazine. What your looking at here is one of those long forgotten pieces of the puzzle. However, as the fervor built, some additional sources of information came to us that had been over looked during the years. Prior to that, no one in the online 3wheeler community even knew that there was a potential for those models to exist. That original brochure is what ignited the interest and controversy for years to come. A French-Canadian member of the message board at the time that went by the user name of "xmen" had contacted 3WW and sent a scan of the same above brochure, but in French. Questioning the existence of the 250R and 350X models originally came to play back around 1999. What about the big boy models though? The highest performance models that Honda had ever offered? The ATC250R and the ATC350X are missing from the Identification Guide, and pretty much history itself. The Honda of America Motorcycle Identification Guide, released for purchase through Honda dealer networks in the year 2000, confirms the existence of these models in the American market as well. As years went by though, slowly but surely 1987 year model ATC250ES "Big Red"s, ATC200Xs, ATC250SXs, ATC125Ms, were all located and verified by forum members. Originally, we were led to believe that ALL the 1987 year models were impossible to find. From the earliest days of 3WW, the "Quest for the '87s" has captured the imagination of readers. No other piece of vintage literature posted on this site has ever caused such interest, speculation, controversy, bewilderment, and a gold rush like fever among three-wheeler enthusiasts. ![]() Knockout, Which is longer than i'd like b/c my HX is undersized. As my Beersmith input to approximate the IBUs gained from 15 min. In my version of Beersmith, you can set the input for whirlpool additions as "steeping hops". Is there any good way to calculate about how much more IBU I'll pick up from the <20 minute additions? Would those IBUs ever come across as straight bitterness? I know this sounds rudimentary (obviously I know that late additions favor aroma and flavor, that's why I'm doing them), but I'm slightly worried about overwhelming this ~6% pale. I'm mostly concerned about the late additions getting out of hand with bitterness as they sit for 90+ minutes above 200F while whirlpooling, settling, knocking out, etc. I will be trying it as homebrew, but it's hard to replicate the conditions that are creating the questions I have here.) We haven't done this on our system here before (late additions, sure, but not a larger series of additions at the end), so I'm trying to nail it down on paper as much as possible before we brew (no pilot system. I want to focus on cascade aroma and flavor with restrained bitterness, so I'm considering a "hop-bursting" technique. I'm super excited at this prospect, and I really want to nail it. I'm a new brewer at a decent-sized (1100-1200bbl/yr) brewpub, and I have been tasked with completely re-designing our old APA recipe, which was forgettable at best. ![]() I've done a LOT of searching around on here, and I have mostly found old posts with shaky at best information. I don't want the perceived bitterness to get out of hand. TL DR version: Calculating in Beersmith, do I need to worry about large amounts of late addition hops continuing to isomerize and produce bitterness during our whirlpool/knockout which happens over about 90 minutes at 200F+? 1.056 OG, 17 bbl knockout. ![]() The sound is mellow and full, very similar in tone and response to gut strings yet very stable and rich in overtones.

Jeremiah 17:9īut God answered his question with reassurance: The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Jeremiah, in perhaps a dark moment, observed, We can invite and allow God to guard our hearts and minds.Īs well as the external evil influences that threaten to infiltrate and sully our hearts and minds, we must also be on our guard from our own internal sinful pressures. Conversely, this kind of life makes it more difficult for the enemy to influence our hearts and minds. It is easier for God to work through us, speak to us, and bless us when we are living righteous and obedient lives (Jas 5:16b). Only then can we discern and know God’s perfect will, and only then can we respond to his will accordingly (Rom. This necessitates having our minds transformed and renewed. God calls us to offer up our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Him, and not to be conformed to the pattern of this world. We must let God do the sanctifying work in ourselves and in others, and this work takes time. However, while it is important that as we aim for personal holiness, we need to be careful that we don’t impose our standards on others or judge others who do not share our aspirations. We were “created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” (Eph. ![]() God calls us to nothing less than holiness (Eph. I wonder why that is? When was the last time we heard a message about keeping our hearts and minds pure? Many modern Christians seem to have lost the desire to live holy and helpful lives that are consecrated to God. In several of Paul’s letters, he urges the believers to live their lives in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ (Eph. As representatives of Jesus and his Kingdom, we need to set high standards for ourselves in regard to faith, love, generosity, and holiness. We can guard our hearts and minds through holy and consecrated living.Īs well as virtuous thoughts, we also need to live virtuous lives. Set your minds on things above, not on worldly things. Colossians 3:1-2 3. Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. If we are constantly desiring worldly things, and thinking worldly, shallow, and mean-spirited thoughts that don’t include God, we are letting our guard down. whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or worthy of praise – think about these things. Paul continues this theme of a guarded heart and mind in the very next verse: Paul promises that God will guard our hearts and minds when we submit everything to him in prayer (Phil. We can guard our hearts and minds through prayer and noble thoughts. Rather, we need to be wise about God and his ways, and lead lives that are informed, guided, edified, and empowered by his Word and his Holy Spirit. 14:20.) We do not need a comprehensive understanding of the Kingdom of Darkness to be able to recognise and defeat its forces. Paul says in Romans 16:19 that God wants us to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. Solid food is for the mature who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. As the author of the Letter to the Hebrews has said, ![]() We can guard our hearts and minds through the knowledge of God’s word. The Bible gives us good advice about how we can guard our hearts. I want to understand and interact with people in our society in relevant, meaningful, generous, and loving ways, but watching and listening to unwholesome programs, and thinking about ungodly and worldly things, can give the enemy a faith-destroying foothold into our lives. If I want to be saturated and empowered by the Holy Spirit, the last thing I want to do is to suppress him with ungodly and ungracious clamour. There are lots of television programs, movies, music, and magazines that I won’t watch, or listen to, or read. I take guarding my heart and mind seriously. Above all else, guard your heart, it is the wellspring of life. ![]() model checking over coordinations represented as constraint automata.

We will consider where the energy comes from in the next section. It is 50 million times more energy than burning the equivalent amount of carbon. The energy released per fission is relatively large.The neutrons may need to be slowed down and are then referred to as thermal neutrons. Both the number and speed of the neutrons is crucial within a working reactor. The Fission Process In the nucleus of each atom of uranium-235 (U-235) are 92 protons and 143 neutrons, for a total of 235. In a neutron flux, 235U, which is referred to as a fissile nuclide, absorbs neutrons and either fissions or forms 236U. For fission to occur the neutrons must be going at the right speed – too fast and they will bounce off rather than be absorbed.Once started, fission can become self-sustaining – this is called a chain reaction. The fact that neutrons are also produced means that these neutrons can go on to induce further fissions.Use data from the graph to show that the energy released as a result of. These by-products of nuclear power form the majority of the radioactive waste that we will consider next week. (a) A uranium-235, 235U, nucleus fissions into two approximately equally sized products. Fission products tend to be radioactive.In words this would be: ‘A uranium-235 atom absorbs a neutron to become uranium-236 which then undergoes fission to form the products xenon-140 and strontium-93 with three neutrons.’ An equation representing this particular fission would be: The fission products themselves can vary but examples would be xenon-140 and strontium-93.

Enriched uranium can be in the form of small pellets that are packaged in the long tubes used in nuclear reactors. U-235 can be concentrated in a process called “enrichment,” making it suitable for use in nuclear reactors or weapons. U-238 is the most abundant form in the environment. U-235 and U-238 occur naturally in nearly all rock, soil, and water. It also can be used in nuclear weapons.ĭepleted uranium (uranium containing mostly U-238) can be used for radiation shielding or as projectiles in armor-piercing weapons.
