![]() AMAX bullets for subsonic, and would like to try some of those. I've read some good stuff about using 208 gr. I want to get some 1680 also, for subsonic. of W296 (same as H110) after a visit with a fellow calgunner today. I went with H110, which I got from a calgunner.įunny, I ended up with 5 lbs. I also found that none of my powders worked (which took some explaining to the spouse since I came home from a Miwall sale recently with over 30 lbs of powder). You could just go with a dedicated 9mm pistol upper and be done. I how ever agree with the others that say why bother with that. Īgain just thinking out load here I have zero experience with pistol AR's but believe I have a good understanding how the platform works. It would likely need to be highly customized for just that purpose. My point is I think it could be done but your not likely going to get any old pistol upper to work. Start playing with different combo's of all the above and I'd think you'd get something to work. That should push more gas down the gas tube pushing the BCG harder. ![]() Try a 10" barrel with a 5" gas system giving you an extra inch of dwell time. Lets say your 10" barrel has a 6" gas system leaving you with 4" of dwell time. Not sure where the gas port is on a 8" or 10" barrel. I'm thinking there are many things you can do to make it work really. I'm thinking a heavy bullet 75gr or 77gr maybe 69gr and a very slow pistol powder may do the trick. Let me start by saying I really have NO idea but here is my thought on this. So far nobody has answered the question of whether a 223 can cycle with subsonic ammo reliably or not. This is why I'm asking about the 300 AAC. While the 9mm AR pistol may be the best option, it won't be the most inexpensive for me. In terms of subsonic, I was mostly curious about getting an AR pistol down to that level at least as it would get me under 1300 fps, and even that is high for a handgun. Handguns are obviously more practical for that, and arguably an AR pistol in 9mm may be the best option, but I would like a better round than 9mm. I'm more so trying to figure out a way to bring the FPS down to a more manageable level inside of a home, so there is less danger is penetrating walls and hitting someone in another room. Nothing to do with sound, as I can't have a suppressor anyway. May I ask why you want to want your home defense gun to be subsonic? Unless you're shooting with a suppressor, intentionally downloading your ammo has just about no possible benefits.

We can flip pages to reread text as needed. When holding a book, we receive reminders of how many pages we’ve read and how many remain. Mangen says this may be because print provides sensorimotor cues that enhance cognitive processing. Print readers were more likely to accurately recall the story’s chronological order. The texts were identical, but Kindle readers pressed a button to progress through the book, while print readers turned pages. In one of Mangen’s studies, participants read a story either on a Kindle or in print and then underwent comprehension tests. But they lack an important aspect of the reading experience: turning the page. Those are likely superior to other digital-text formats, Mangen says. ![]() ![]() However, e-readers, like Kindles, don’t require scrolling and reduce eyestrain with e-ink technology. In addition, the LED screens’ constant flickering glow creates more work for our eyes, causing visual and mental fatigue. When we have to remember what we just read and we don’t have spatial to help, that’s taking some of our bandwidth.” “In our working memory, we can hold about seven items at a time, so the goal when reading is to take away as many demands as possible. Scrolling demands more from our working memory, she adds. It’s harder to map words that aren’t in a fixed location, because we lose important “visual placeholders,” says Singer Trakhman. But imagine drawing a map of something with constantly moving landmarks, like a webpage. When we read, our brains construct a cognitive map of the text, like recalling that a piece of information appeared near the top, left-hand page of a book. A 2017 study found participants’ reading comprehension suffered when they scrolled through a comic book’s individual panels instead of seeing them all at once. ![]() Scrolling through digital text may impair comprehension by creating spatial challenges. Reading print also generated more activity in the parietal cortex, which processes visual and spatial cues. Print materials were more likely to activate the medial prefrontal cortex and cingulate cortex, both involved in processing emotions. Participants viewed advertisements on a screen and on a printed card while undergoing an fMRI scan. In a 2009 study, the marketing research company Millward Brown found the brain processes physical and digital materials differently. However, existing research does offer some clues. “There’s not much on the reading of actual texts,” Mangen says. This may be because of the shallowing hypothesis - constant exposure to fast-paced, digital media trains the brain to process information more rapidly and less thoroughly. Format didn’t affect their grasp of the main idea, but students missed details when reading on screens.ĭigital reading impairs comprehension, particularly for longer, more complex texts, says Mangen. In 2016, Singer Trakhman examined undergraduates’ reading comprehension after they read digital and print versions of articles. TL DR: Digital Reading Equals Shallower Processing Everything’s so quick and accessible that we may not be truly digesting anymore.”īoth scientists agree digital is fine to scan news headings for main ideas, but longer, complicated texts are best read in print, especially to retain the details. “It’s one of the best parts of our digital world - everything is at our fingertips and we can get the headlines in a second - but it may also be one of the pitfalls. “We read digital more quickly, we think we must understand it better,” explains Lauren Singer Trakhman, who studies reading comprehension at the University of Maryland, College Park. Studies found digital reading breeds overconfidence. If people associate screen time with casual web-surfing they may rush through without fully absorbing the text.ĭo you think you’re the exception? Most people do. It provides spatial and tactile cues to help readers process words on a page. Print is visually less demanding than digital text. I think it’s healthy for us as human beings to sit down with something that doesn’t move, ping, or call on our attention.” “And it’s a whole different kind of immersion than responding to stimuli. “ is kind of like meditation - focusing our attention on something still,” says Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway. Turns out print is easier to comprehend than digital text. Digital books have been with us for a decade - but how well are we absorbing it all? Many swapped hard copy textbooks and worksheets for websites and other digital resources. During the coronavirus pandemic, students worldwide shifted from the classroom to remote, online learning. Before Debbie, he was married to Catherine Alexander from 1978 to 1981. Yes, he has been married to Debbie Meredith since 1982 and has three children with her. Yes, his full and real name is Frank Lee Beard. How old is Frank Beard?įrank Beard was born on June 11th, 1949, in Frankston, Texas. They are made of CuSn8 Bronze, also known as “2002 Bronze”. The 2002 cymbals were first introduced in the late 1960s and have been a mainstay for drummers ever since. This series is used worldwide in the old school. He helped him stay focused lately, doing artwork on Beard’s famous drumsets and then getting involved with sounds. John Douglas is a drum tech who has been with Frank for years. This finish is made by his drum tech John Douglas. Frank Beard Drum set Photo from įrank plays Tama Starclassic Maple with a custom-made finish. They have recorded 15 studio albums and created a unique sound and musical style. In the following period, they continue to succeed with the albums “Eliminator” and “Afterburn.”Īfter releasing “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Legs,” there was no way back. Band’s new experimental music can be heard on the album “El Loco.” As such, we’re rationalizing that the band’s newer fans may not know about it, hence its inclusion.Their unique style with long beards and sunglasses was created then. Of course, if you were a fan of the band during the ‘80s, then you – like everyone else – probably had at least one good chuckle over this follicular irony, but since Frank finally did start sporting a beard around 2013, it stopped being as funny and therefore stopped being mentioned as often. When ZZ Top were at the height of their fame, he was the only member of the band that didn’t have a beard. The show went on without him, thanks to their drum tech – and former Kik Tracee drummer – John Douglas filling in, but Beard’s absence made it a monumental performance: it was the first time ZZ Top had played a show without all three core members in attendance in 33 years.ĥ. In October 2002, when ZZ Top was in the City of Lights to play a show at Le Zenith, Beard found himself having an emergency appendectomy. At that point, Beard suggested Hill, and the rest is history. After releasing their first single, “Salt Lick,” in 1969, there was a shift in the band’s lineup, resulting in Beard joining the band, and when the band secured a deal to release an album, their drummer at the time, Billy Ethridge, didn’t want to sign a contract, so he left the band. Despite the fact that they’d already played together, he actually joined ZZ Top before Dusty Hill did.Īctually, Billy Gibbons was part of the band before either of them. We have no explanation for this, but if we asked, we suspect he’d say, “It was the ‘70s, man.”ģ. In fact, if you go back and look at the credits for ZZ Top’s first and third album, that’s how he’s credited: “Rube Beard.” Oddly, that is not how he’s credited on their second album. Back in the day, his nickname was “Rube.” It was an operation that would be impossible to attempt today, perpetrated in an era when fans didn’t have unlimited access to artists' whereabouts, or, in some cases, even know what they looked like.” It should be noted that Hill did contribute to the article, offering a simple explanation for the situation: “It was the ‘60s, man.”Ģ. The whole bizarre story is detailed in a Buzzfeed piece, but to tempt you into reading it, here’s a few lines: “Both impostor groups were managed by the same company, Delta Promotions, the owners of which insisted they’d legally acquired the songs of the Zombies and other bands. In fact, there were actually two bands touring around the US calling themselves the Zombies, neither of which were the real band. If you’re noticing the quotation marks around “Zombies,” that is wise, because when the band toured around in the late ‘60s, the people who bought tickets to see them did not, therefore they didn’t realize that they weren’t seeing the actual UK band called The Zombies. He and future ZZ Top bandmate Dusty Hill were both members of The Original “Zombies.” ![]() To commemorate the occasion, we’ve put together a list of five things you may or may not have known about the legendary percussionist.ġ.

Still on the list of soap operas, we have "To love again" that was launched in the U.S. His third, most complete and exciting project was his role on "Salomé" (2001) with this project, Rafael became quite famous and in august he continued acting in "Las Vias del Amor. He started with the soap opera "La casa en la playa" (2000) (The Beach House) with his role as Romualdo, next came the telenovela "Sin pecado concebido" (2001) (Without Conceived Sin) as Castulo. He later separated from Garibaldi, but continued in the artistic realm, but now in acting. After this, he started studying at the "Center for Artistic Education of Televisa", and found the opportunity to participate in a casting for the new musical group "Garibaldi" and was selected. He returned to Mexico and started participating in several musical groups or bands. After graduating from High School, he traveled to San Diego, California to start his University studies.

Download Visual Studio for Mac v17.5 Git Improvements ![]() No less important is the development of the infrastructure, because no production will be useful if it cannot deliver its goods to your market. Discontent deepens if the dismissed were owners of shares in the company – we have capitalism here, don’t forget! Automation of production reduces the number of workers, which causes dissatisfaction, because people lose their jobs. It would seem that there are only advantages, but there are also nuances here, which makes Victoria 3 so exciting. Research and introduction of new production methods allows reducing the need for low-skilled labor and increasing the volume of goods production. Satisfying these needs is one of the main mechanics of the game, because a disgruntled population riots, which can cause divisions or even revolutions (more on this in the next part of the review). While the lower classes primarily require clothing, grain, and furniture to satisfy basic needs, the upper classes often require luxury items, porcelain, and tobacco. Here it is divided into three layers – lower, middle and upper classes, which have different needs and different influence in society. In addition to the needs of trade and businesses, certain goods are also needed by your population. Other countries can buy your goods, and the only way to prevent this is to impose an embargo on one of them, which will destroy your relationship and give you dishonor – a special indicator that affects the attitude of all countries of the world towards you. Your market is a living organism that does not obey you directly. For example, a steel plant needs coal and iron and produces steel, which, in turn, is needed by motor factories. There is a real simulation of the market – each production needs certain goods and produces others. It is the economy here that is detailed the best and it is to it that you will have to pay the most attention, especially during war. The economic system is the main decoration of the game. But the main thing on this panel is the budget – the holidays of the game. Influence points are spent on international agreements and improving or worsening relations with another country. Each type of score serves its purpose: bureaucracy shows the efficiency of your tax and management systems, power shows how much you directly influence the processes in your country, using it you can issue edicts that improve certain indicators, such as stability or production capacity in certain regions, and regulate the popularity of political forces, suppressing or strengthening them. On the top panel, you can see four main indicators: bureaucracy, power and influence points, as well as your budget and income. When you go to the game map, you will see an interface in front of you that is surprisingly simple and clear. If you are a more experienced player, the “sandbox” is your choice, while beginners will find it easier to move along the path helpfully defined by the developers, who will tell you the most successful solutions to achieve your goal. There is a separate “sandbox”, that is, a game for any country without predetermined goals. In the main menu, the player is offered five modes: training, where you will be introduced to the basic rules of the game and will be allowed to play poker in a fairly rich, but “calm” country like Belgium economic dominance, where you will have to become a leader among world economies a military hegemony where you will have to develop through aggressive wars and an egalitarian society where you will have to lead a movement for human rights and a free-for-all society. The choice is truly stunning – from industrialized and powerful Britain, to Ethiopian tribes and the extremely vulnerable Chinese Qin Empire, which a capable ruler can turn into an invincible superpower.
