The location tabs on each wing have large excess resin flanges which need to be carefully removed. Overall, Anagrand’s resin work is very, very good, with some marked problem areas. Obviously, we were building for launch integration to the Energia. There are many smaller parts, used to build the Buran in the mode you decide – ready for launch, on-orbit with the doors open, or at landing, resting on its landing gear. The Buran is composed of seven major parts – two fuselage halves, two wings, the payload bay door set, a rear body section and the tail. The kits are sent in their own individual boxes, which contain heat-sealed plastic bags, containing groups of parts. They replied they would amend their packing accordingly. Luckily, both kits arrived in tact, but I did let Anagrand know about my concerns. This could have left the contents of the Energia model vulnerable to shipping damage, as one end of the box had been crushed. The larger Energia kit box was opened and the smaller Buran kit was nested inside, then placed into an out packing box. My first issue with the models was the way they were packed. It takes about a week for Anagrand to turn around the order, and then a solid 10-14 days for Hong Kong & US airmail to deliver them. While online ordering was easy, especially through PayPal, it takes some time to acquire these kits. Not only more affordably priced, but affordably sized as well, and a good complement to our many 1/144 scale US Space Shuttles. The Buran kit cost $68 US with $10 for shipping, and the Energia kit cost $88 US with $16 shipping. In 1/144 scale, I found a company called “Anagrand Craftworks” out of Hong Kong, offering both the Buran Orbiter and an Energia booster as separate model kits. While this was somewhat “captivating,” I chose discretion to be the better part and kept looking for a smaller, more manageable sized model. That’s not only a lot of money, I’m really running out of room to display really “big” models, and in 1/72 scale, this would be a very, big model – on the order to the 1/72 scale Monogram Space Shuttle Stack. I found a very large 1/72 scale model of the Energia/Buran combination, made by A-Model, a Ukrainian manufacturer, sold over the Internet by “Hobbyterra,” for $480 US (!). Overall: Good looking finished product, worth the money.Ī few months ago, I searched for available model kits of the Soviet Buran Shuttle Orbiter and the Energia Launch Vehicle, in order to bring a bit of “balance” to my display of Shuttle-era spacecraft. ![]() Instructions could be improved, short on detail.ĭecals: Buran decals – excellent.

As Romans 10:9 explains, we will be saved if we believe that Jesus is Lord. These verses in Romans explain the power of having faith and result of placing our faith in Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Many who engage in Audio Bible listening programs have expressed to us their joy of hearing these life-giving words for the first time.įor God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. This verse encapsulates the Gospel and the basis for the Christian faith. John 3:16 is without a doubt the most well-known verse of all time… and for good reason. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”Īnd Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. ![]() He said to them, “Because of your little faith. Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son your sins are forgiven.” Here are a few encouraging verses from Matthew.Īnd behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. As people listen to the book of Matthew, whether in a rural village via Proclaimers or city apartment through the Bible.is app, eager souls are reminded just how powerful faith can be. We want to share some of these encouraging Bible verses about faith with you. ![]() Īt Faith Comes By Hearing, we receive testimonies from all over the world about the power of God’s audible Word and how Scripture can not only encourage us, but also build our faith. Countless Bible verses illuminate faith and the importance of trusting and hoping in God. Putting all our trust and hope in God can be tough, especially when it seems like everything is going wrong. ![]() In fact, Jesus told us it wouldn’t be easy. Let’s face it: It’s not easy to be a believer. ![]() In warm climates (zones 8-10), the corms are planted in the fall so they will bloom in late winter and early spring. Ranunculus are cool season flowers that grow best in spring-like temperatures of about 55☏. Use drip irrigation or water early in the day so the foliage stays as dry as possible. Avoid soggy soil, as the corm and roots can rot. If you are growing ranunculus in containers, use a high quality, soil-less growing mix and protect the bulbs from excessive winter moisture.Īir Circulation: Ranunculus foliage is highly susceptible to powdery mildew, so maintaining good airflow in and around the plants is critical. Soil Conditions: For best results, plant ranunculus corms in light, well-drained soil. Gardeners in these areas can plant ranunculus corms in late winter or very early spring for early summer flowers. In colder areas (hardiness zones 4-7), ranunculus will not survive the winter outdoors unless they are grown under a floating row cover or greenhouse. Gardeners in these areas plant ranunculus corms in fall for spring flowers. Hardiness Zone : Ranunculus corms are winter hardy in growing zones 8-10, where temperatures do not fall below 25☏. In hot climates they may need some sun protection during the hottest part of the day. ![]() In most climates, they should be grown in full sun. Sun and Shade: Ranunculus are cool weather plants that need lots of bright light each day. Longfield Gardens supplies 6/7 cm ranunculus corms so you can enjoy the biggest, brightest blooms. Large corms contain more stored food energy than small corms, and will give you a stronger plant with more flowers. ![]() Ranunculus grow from corms that resemble little claws. If you're a fan of ranunculus, why not try growing them yourself? The corms can be planted in containers or in the garden so you can enjoy these beautiful blooms both indoors as cut flowers and outdoors in flower beds, borders and container plantings. Though not often seen in home gardens, the exquisite flowers of ranunculus are a staple in high-end flower shops and wedding bouquets. Their rose-like blossoms have tissue-thin petals and they come in colors that range from cream and pale yellow to apricot, pink, orange, red and burgundy. Ranunculus flowers look almost too perfect to be real. Your Guide to Planning, Planting, and Growing Ranunculus ![]() They like to roam around, play, and dance with the other kids. Kids don’t do particularly well with sitting in one place for several hours. Plated Service + Buffet (or Food Stations)Ī combination of a plated service and a buffet/food stations makes sense if you’re expecting lots of kids (it is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, so kids are pretty much a guarantee). Later that evening, they’re served a plated service where they get to choose their preferred appetizer, entree, and dessert from the menu. Just like weddings, this is a common choice if you’re having a Bar/Bat Mitzvah party at a banquet hall.Īt the start of the evening, your guests are greeted at the reception area with a variety of different food stations to choose from. You can combine any of the three, really… But the most common combinations are: Food Stations + Plated Service It consists of a combination of the different types of service I mentioned above. Some of our most popular Bar Mitzvah themes include sports, music, movies and the other guest of honor’s interests. The final type is what I call the “hybrid” service. Our Bar Mitzvahs are custom themed and designed around the guest of honor’s favorite interests to make his special day memorable. Tip: Street food is a great option for Bar/Bat Mitzvah food trucks.
Bulk Sample of pure chromium metalĬhromium is extremely hard, and is the third hardest element behind carbon ( diamond) and boron. Chromium(VI) is a strong oxidising agent in contrast to the molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) oxides. (Similar promotions happen for every transition metal atom but one, palladium.) Ĭhromium is the first element in the 3d series where the 3d electrons start to sink into the nucleus they thus contribute less to metallic bonding, and hence the melting and boiling points and the enthalpy of atomisation of chromium are lower than those of the preceding element vanadium. This lowers the energetic cost of promotion and increases the energy released by it, so that the promotion becomes energetically feasible and one or even two electrons are always promoted to the 4s subshell. However, in the 3d transition metals, the energy gap between the 3d and the next-higher 4s subshell is very small, and because the 3d subshell is more compact than the 4s subshell, inter-electron repulsion is smaller between 4s electrons than between 3d electrons. In the previous elements, the energetic cost of promoting an electron to the next higher energy level is too great to compensate for that released by lessening inter-electronic repulsion. This occurs because electrons in the same orbital repel each other due to their like charges. ![]() This occurs again later in the periodic table with other elements and their electron configurations, such as copper, niobium, and molybdenum. It is also the first element in the periodic table whose ground-state electron configuration violates the Aufbau principle. Physical properties Atomic Ĭhromium is the fourth transition metal found on the periodic table, and has an electron configuration of 3d 5 4s 1. Ībandoned chromium production sites often require environmental cleanup. According to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), chromium trioxide that is used in industrial electroplating processes is a "substance of very high concern" (SVHC). While chromium metal and Cr(III) ions are considered non-toxic, hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), is toxic and carcinogenic. However, in 2014, the European Food Safety Authority, acting for the European Union, concluded that there was insufficient evidence for chromium to be recognized as essential. In the United States, trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) ion is considered an essential nutrient in humans for insulin, sugar, and lipid metabolism. Pure chromium metal is produced by a different process: roasting and leaching of chromite to separate it from iron, followed by reduction with carbon and then aluminium. Ferrochromium is then used to produce alloys such as stainless steel. Industrial production of chromium proceeds from chromite ore (mostly FeCr 2O 4) to produce ferrochromium, an iron-chromium alloy, by means of aluminothermic or silicothermic reactions. ![]() The name of the element is derived from the Greek word χρῶμα, chrōma, meaning color, because many chromium compounds are intensely colored. Polished chromium reflects almost 70% of the visible spectrum, and almost 90% of infrared light. Chromium is also greatly valued as a metal that is able to be highly polished while resisting tarnishing. Stainless steel and chrome plating ( electroplating with chromium) together comprise 85% of the commercial use. A major development in steel production was the discovery that steel could be made highly resistant to corrosion and discoloration by adding metallic chromium to form stainless steel. Ĭhromium metal is valued for its high corrosion resistance and hardness. It is a steely-grey, lustrous, hard, and brittle transition metal. Chromium is a chemical element with the symbol Cr and atomic number 24. If you’re new to the world of seltzer, try out one of the hard seltzer flavors from these leading brands. Hard seltzer is light and refreshing, making it a great choice any time of year, but especially during the summer. And when you’re enjoying a spiked seltzer out at your favorite restaurant or bar, always have a designated driver to ensure you and your loved ones get home safely. ![]() Just because it may be a low-calorie choice doesn’t mean you should drink it in excess. Even though hard seltzer is refreshing, it’s still an alcoholic beverage. Of course, consumers need to be careful of the “health halo” effect. For individuals who are gluten-intolerant or have celiac disease, this makes hard seltzer an appealing choice. And since it’s not made with grains, it’s gluten-free. In contrast, beer or spirits such as whiskey are made with fermented grains. This means that hard seltzer tends to have a lower alcohol content. Spiked seltzer is typically made with fermented cane sugars. Unlike a traditional mixed drink that combines soda water with a spirit like gin or vodka, hard seltzer is just that: seltzer with alcohol. Since most hard seltzers have just a couple of grams of sugar, they’re unlikely to upset your stomach. Many cocktails are high in sugar, which can lead to gastrointestinal distress. But when you choose hard seltzer instead of these mixed drinks, you will enjoy a lower ABV and are less likely to end up with a stomachache or headache. Low in SugarĪ spiked seltzer’s refreshing fruit essences can remind you of your favorite cocktails, like a margarita or a cosmopolitan. This makes spiked seltzer a great choice for anyone with sensitivities to the ingredients in other alcoholic beverages, such as the tannins in red wine that can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Minimal IngredientsĪ can of hard seltzer usually has a very basic ingredient list: just water, sugar, yeast, and fruit flavorings. In contrast, a beer of about the same size has about 150 calories and 15 to 30 grams of carbohydrates. Most hard seltzers have about 100 calories and 2 grams of carbohydrates in a 12-ounce can. It tends to have fewer calories and less sugar than mixed drinks, beer, or hard cider. If you’re trying to watch your caloric intake, hard seltzer can help. Consumers love these fizzy drinks for a variety of reasons: Lower Calorie Count ![]() While hard seltzers have been around for a while, they have become increasingly popular in recent years, with many major brands introducing dedicated lines of spiked seltzers. Many hard seltzers have added natural flavors or fruit juice concentrate for a subtle aroma or taste. Most hard seltzers on the market today are between 4% and 5% alcohol by volume (ABV), though some have a higher ABV. Thus, hard seltzer is alcoholic soda water. The addition of carbon dioxide gives a can of seltzer its distinctive bubbles and fizz. Sometimes called soda water or fizzy water, seltzer is simply carbonated water. But is hard seltzer healthier than beer, wine, or other options? Here, Columbia Distributing examines the benefits of hard seltzer. ![]() With a wide variety of flavors to choose from, there’s a spiked seltzer option to suit almost any palate. Sales of hard seltzer have skyrocketed in recent years as many consumers look for an alcoholic beverage that’s on the lighter side. ![]() Check back for our updated review.īefore we delve into the Lil Tracker's merits as one of the best GPS tracker for kids, let's talk availability. We hope that the sequel lives up to the high standard this edition set. The original Jiobit was the best GPS tracker for kids, with a long battery life and an easy-to-use app that make this device easy to recommend. The tracker uses AT&T's and T-Mobile's networks to send the GPS data. (In either case, your first 30 days are free.) Additional Jiobit trackers can be added to either plan for $6 a month, with the same pricing for the device. Sign up for two years of service and you lower the cost to $9 a month. The original Jiobit costs $149, with a service contract available for $14 a month. ![]() Then, you can tap the little bell icon, and the Jiobit will make a noise and flash its LED, in case you've lost it under the bed, for example. That bar grows longer or shorter based on how close you are, which can help you home in on the device. But when you're paired by Bluetooth, you'll notice a little bar in the app that connects your photo, representing your phone, to your child's photo, representing the Jiobit. If you're trying to locate the Jiobit, there's no augmented-reality view to guide you to its exact spot. The original Jiobit lacked an SOS button that your child could press if there's trouble, but the new version of Jiobit rectifies that omission. There's no History to show where the tracker has been during the day. Live tracking for long periods will wear down the Jiobit's battery, so the app asks you after 2 minutes if you want to keep tracking or go back to the map, which still refreshes every few seconds if the tracker is moving, just without creating a trail.Įven though Jiobit's app looks great, it could have a few more features. Tapping the top of the smartphone screen lets you enter tracking mode, where the location updates on the map as the tracker moves, leaving a track between points. With a combination of Bluetooth, GPS/GLONASS and Wi-Fi, the Jiobit got a good signal indoors and outdoors - the app always found it within a second or two of launching. They just can't set up additional trusted places or change any of the Jiobit's settings. Care Team members can choose to be notified when the Jiobit enters and leaves the trusted places you've set up, and they can see the Jiobit on the map and which caregiver is in range. ![]() They'll receive a link over SMS (text) to download the Jiobit app, and when they set up an account, they enter their own phone number. You add other caregivers to your Care Team by phone number. Trusted Places are easy to set up in the app, and you can choose to be notified when the tracker enters, leaves or both. But you do want a notification if she leaves school alone or with someone else. After all, you don't need a push notification to tell you that you just picked up your kid from school. That tracker's use of Ultra Wideband may make it tempting to use with kids or pets, but the range isn't as good as a dedicated people tracker what's more, Apple discourages that kind of use case.Įven better, you aren't notified when your child arrives at or leaves a trusted place with you. We'd steer you away from using Apple's AirTag to track anything other than objects. We recommend kid-specific trackers since they're designed specifically for children, making them easy to use in an emergency. We also look at the ongoing cost of kid trackers - besides what you pay for the tracker itself, you're usually on the hook for a monthly fee for network connectivity. We highlight whether a device can let your kids send out alerts to you and other care-givers if they run into trouble. Our search for the best GPS trackers for kids considers how easy a device is to use, how comfortable it is to wear and what kind of information it provides parents. (These trackers also can work for older family members, though you'll want to find a model that features a less kid-centric design.) But regardless of the design, a top GPS tracker should be easy to operate, letting you know if your child made it safely from point A to point B or where they are when you've lost track of them in a crowd. GPS trackers come in many forms, but the best models for kids either snap onto backpacks or fit on a wrist, making them convenient to tote around. ![]() That would be a great story to tell, and perhaps we’ll see that question addressed someday. ![]() Getting back to Steve Rogers, we still have no idea what Cap did in the timeline where he settled. Still from Avengers: Endgame showing Captain America (Chris Evans) during the final battle, probably thinking he could do this all day. Clint taking that baseball glove during one of the tests they performed might be enough to create a chain reaction in that past that would impact the entire timeline, for example. Instead, any action taken in that specific place would alter that reality, which could then develop differently. Going back in time would not change the future. These explanations are consistent with the time travel rules that Endgame implemented for the MCU. Joe: Now what’s also a story for another time is, of course, if he created a branch reality, he would then have to use a Pym Particle to come back to this reality to hand that shield off. Joe Russo: The way that it would work is that when Captain America goes back, he would create a branch reality, Now he would exist in that branch reality with a second Captain America who was frozen in ice.Īnthony: Peggy understood that he was dead at that point in the storytelling because Cap went back to a point in time where nobody knew he still was alive, frozen in ice. The Russo brothers then explained Steve’s time travel adventures in an interview in early July. What happened in the past 22 movies was still canon. The characters in this movie created new timeline when they went back to the past, but it had no effect to the prime universe. If you go back to past, you simply created a new reality. Yes, there were two CA in that reality, it’s just like what Hulk said, what happened in the past has already happened. We don’t know how exactly his life turned out, but I’d like to believe he still helped many others when they were needed in that world. He lived a completely different life in that world. The time travel in this movie created an alternate reality. He chose to go back to past and lived with the one he loved for the rest of his life. Q: Did Captain America’s action at the end affect the timeline? Does that mean there was a time where two CA existed in a same universe?Īnthony Russo: To me, CA’s action in the end wasn’t the fact he wanted to change anything, it’s more like me has made a choice. Joe and Anthony said as much in late April 2019, right after the premiere: Later, he traveled back to the main timeline to pass along the shield. Then he settled down in an alternate reality where he married Peggy. The MCU canon is that Steve Rogers restored the order in the universe by returning the stones and Mjolnir. |
