![]() ![]() These 25 Japanese maples are all great options, offering foliage ranging from red and yellow to green also featuring different growth habits and tree heights. While there are many ways to select a Japanese maple, leaf color is why most people plant this tree.

Emperor 1 is an improved version of 'Bloodgood', and is similar in growth habit, although this tree has a lighter almost translucent quality to the leaves. Many popular cultivars produce the familiar red foliage, such as one of the most popular Japanese trees, 'Bloodgood.' But others provide brilliant green or gold tones-and even bicolor leaves.

![]() ![]() ![]() Sacred Games (TV series, one season, 2018–)īased on Vikram Chandra’s epic 2006 novel, Netflix’s first Indian original series is a slowly unfolding gem. Farrier’s stops include the site of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the road where JFK was assassinated, and the Milwaukee suburbs where serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer murdered his victims. But as with Theroux, Farrier’s weakness is actually his strength, allowing him to endear himself to the many unusual people he meets on his journey through the world’s most questionable tourist destinations. New Zealand journalist David Farrier is an unlikely TV presenter in the same way that Louis Theroux is – in just about every scenario in which he finds himself, he’s a little bit awkward. Dark Tourist (TV series, one season, 2018–) Timothy Olyphant is excellent as Sheila’s frazzled husband Joel, and the pair’s idiosyncratic but respectful relationship with their smart teenage daughter Abby (Liv Hewson) isn’t quite like anything else on TV right now. But it’s also strangely charming, and funny. Granted, this horror-comedy – which stars Drew Barrymore as a neurotic real estate agent who suddenly develops a taste for human flesh – is really silly, and really, really disgusting. ![]() Love (TV series, three seasons, 2016–2018) Big-name stars such as Orlando Bloom and Aubrey Plaza crop up, but Jane Adams – who you might remember from Todd Solondz’s chronically depressing 1998 film Happiness – is the show’s heart, and Marc Maron is its jaded soul. Joe Swanberg’s style of defiantly undramatic mumblecore isn’t for everyone, but if you enjoyed his earlier films, Drinking Buddies and Happy Christmas, you’ll find plenty to admire in this anthology comedy-drama series. Unlike many other puberty-centred comedies, Big Mouth makes as much time for its confused female protagonists as its male ones Maya Rudolph is a delight as the female hormone monster, and look out for Kristen Wiig’s wonderful turn as a talking vagina. When 12-year-old Andrew Glouberman (John Mulaney) is visited by the hormone monster (Nick Kroll, who voices many of the show’s best characters), he finds his life irreversibly – and seemingly disastrously – changed. Story continues Big Mouth (TV series, two seasons, 2017–)Ĭrude, rude, and rife with surprise emissions and bodily functions, animated sitcom Big Mouth is also a sensitive, nuanced deep dive into the various horrors of teenagehood. It’s subtle, restrained and beautifully realised. They even rope their enthusiastic but irresponsible niece Sadie (Kayli Carter) into the mix, much to the horror of Sadie’s mother (Molly Shannon, turning a potentially repellent character into one worthy of empathy). Private Life (Film, 2018)īased on writer / director Tamara Jenkins’s own fertility struggles, Private Life stars Kathryn Hahn and Paul Giamatti (both giving brilliant performances) as a spiky, loving middle-aged couple desperate to have a baby. You wouldn’t have thought that the story of a Cuban-American army veteran / nurse / single mother – who suffers from PTSD and depression – would fit into this format, but it does so beautifully, tackling issues of sexuality, racism and sexism in the process. In stark contrast to the off-beat, low-key comedy that currently rules TV – the kind that provokes a wry smirk rather than a hearty laugh – One Day at a Time is a big, bright sitcom filmed in front of an interminably enthusiastic studio audience. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Its willingness to unbundle Teams should be quickly extended to give customers the ability to run Windows productivity software, including Office365, on whichever cloud infrastructure they choose." ![]() "This is a good step in the right direction but 100 more steps are needed."įrancisco Mingorance, secretary general of cloud provider non-profit CISPE, said: "In an effort to head off formal investigations and scrutiny of its unfair software licensing practices, Microsoft is offering a series of unilateral, voluntary deals.

"Overall we think this is a step in the right direction. Today, Frank Karlitschek, Nextcloud CEO, told us the various complaints may have forced Microsoft to respond. Such a finding would allow us to take action at an early stage and prohibit possible anticompetitive practices," said Bundeskartellamt president Andreas Mundt at the time.

Apart from the defence of the FOB my other favourite mission is when you are on patrol on one of the river boats and have to stay alive until arriving at your destination. On completion of this mission you'll then have a patrol to complete where you go to a village suspected of harbouring VC. You have to get there first, then once there defend yourself and to complete the defence destroy a couple of tanks that turn up. Repel the VC for a while, then you are called to the final redoubt as the camp is overrun. If you are shot and incapacitated, you can swap between any of the other three characters in your squad.

![]() ![]() Apart from the Royal Navy, the Indian Navy was the only other operator of the Sea Harrier, with 30 aircraft serving in its fleet until retiring in 2016. In 2006, the decision was made to retire the Sea Harriers from active service, thus marking the end of the aircraft’s not less than 27-year service career. So a squadron vehicle in a tree you don't play isn't of much use to you. ![]() Squad vehicles are nice, but they are no premiums. If you are a German ground main, then there is basically no way around the Me262. Briefly: A modified version of the Harrier jet fighter, adapted for naval operations and featuring a bolstered weapons arsenal. Squad vehicle grind is slow even with 20k every 3 days but it's passive. However, two Sea Harriers were lost to ground fire. Soon, the Sea Harrier FRS.1 will come to War Thunder as a new squadron vehicle, available with the release of the Apex Predators major update. Which one should I get Distribute experience in squadron vehicles ( Show: MS Liverpool Me 262 A-1afU1 SA Firecrest M901 UN Shimakaze A-4E Early Leopard 2 PL. During the conflict against Argentine forces, the Sea Harrier was credited with shooting down 20 aircraft while suffering no losses in return during the aerial engagements. A superb Soviet fighter-bomber, the Su-22M3 is the new squadron vehicle in War Thunder. After entering service, the Sea Harrier’s most prominent operational use was marked by its involvement in the Falklands War of 1982. In parallel to the order, the new aircraft received its official designation ‘Sea Harrier’.Įntering service in 1979, the Sea Harrier was initially extensively tested before being released into active duty as part of 800 Naval Air Squadron aboard HMS Invincible. This changed in May 1975 when 25 aircraft were ordered from Hawker Siddeley to equip the new carriers of the Invincible class. Although the work was approved by the Ministry of Defence, no orders were placed at the time. Why would you put xp into a boat before the other vehicles. ![]() Immediately as the Harrier GR.1 entered into service, Hawker Siddeley began development of a naval variant in 1969. ![]() ![]() Now under the name of SWAT, the series has risen to become about the best example of tactical action there is, and one of the few examples to be set among Western cities rather than former Soviet-bloc republics.Īs with previous SWAT games, Urban Justice will once again be set across the concrete sprawl of near-future Los Angeles, the aim to restore public order to a city in chaos. Its roots were drawn directly from the Police Quest series of actionadventures (see boxout), a genre all but deceased. Of course there are similarities, and players who like one version of the game will most certainly like the other." Policeman Plotīut we forget with all this talk about console dumbing-down and genreshifting that SWAT began life on PC back in the '80s. Each is designed exclusively for their respective hardware. "Global Strike Team and Urban Justice are completely different games, though they are part of the SWAT franchise. ![]() "No, not at all," says Rod Fung, executive producer for SWAT: Urban Justice, the fourth in the series. However, since PCs and Xboxes share similar organs and therefore the potential for crossover is so strong, the fear was PC SWAT 4 would be a port of the Xbox’s arcade-orientated adaptation. Which is exactly why the SWAT game headed for Xbox is called Global Strike Team and has as much in common with lightgun shooter Virtua Cop as it does previous PC-based SWAT games. ![]() Of course there is a reason for such a drastic transformation console players would no more enjoy playing a 600-hour beardathon in front of a 32-inch TV than a PC gamer would take delight from guiding a hyperactive monkey through a supermarket. Even so, we’re sure there are thousands of people grinding their battleaxes that the mighty Gate has been 'cheapened’. ![]() In fact, I preferred the PS2 game to its big PC brother, since I’m not big on dice-rolling anyway. Nowt much of a to-do about that as far as I’m concerned. Yet on PlayStation 2 Baldur's Gate is known not as an RPG, but as an action game - almost a 21 st century version of the classic Gauntlet. A heavier stat-based experience would be hard to locate, even with a level 14 Detection spell. Have you noticed how once-proud hardcore PC games have been defecting to consoles? Take Bioware’s life-sapping RPG series Baldur's Gate for instance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Definitely beats shoving 600 film into an old Spectra cartridge though :) ![]() but other than the poor framing and black bar, and without the wide frame, nothing really stands out as ‘Spectra’ that will make me do it too often. But as you can see, it’s pretty much the Polaroid Originals experience it’s nice that the camera can focus to some degree, has a few bells/whistles etc. I’ll probably do it again it’s awesome that these things aren’t total paperweights and that’s important. I wasted three shots total out of the pack of eight two described in detail below, and one my fault (I accidentally exposed the top film of one of the packs, when I tried to pull out the film to re-seat the battery).Īnyway, is it worth the effort of: 3D printing the adapter, cost of batteries/charger (or film if you reuse), time tweaking the setup, transferring (and possibly damaging) film to the new cartridge, and a possibility of still losing whole shots or having black bars or other anomalies, on a used camera that isn’t guaranteed to work in the first place? I’m not sure if the ‘tear’ at the top left is related to my handling and loading the film, or an imbalance of the rollers (since there’s no longer even pressure across them with 600). It worked! Evident is my lack of memory about compensating the shot framing- black line on the bottom is not my fault though. So I took random household shots, not messing with any of the switches or anything - like some weird, normal person in the late nineties. Sorry for the less than thrilling shots here I was excited to try it quickly, and wasn’t going to go out and do anything ‘important’ with a camera I don’t totally trust. I printed a version of the Spectra/600 adapter that uses SX-70/600 batteries, rather than the (impossible to find for me) 3.2v AAAs - Still waiting for those in the mail, but pretty sure both sellers I bought from flaked at this point. I used the bulb setting on the 95A and estimated the one second exposure.Not sure anyone’s given their full warts and all experience of using a Spectra adapter- so here goes. I loaded up another image later on in the evening and shot a 1 second exposure of a reflection near my house focusing at 50 ft. Also, when using this method, because of the 95A’s limited range of functionality & Impossible’s film sensitivity, you will be restricted as to where and when you can shoot. NOTE: If this is something you are going to try, take in account that with the 95A you might have, there will be some variances to the shutter speeds because of aged mechanical parts. They would jump around slightly, but for the most part, when I pressed the shutter release slowly, the results were fairly consistent. When testing, the speeds were a little erratic. On the 95A I have, the average shutter speeds are … I went up the road to Archinal Camera and had Robert test the shutter speeds. Impossible Project PZ680 – Polaroid 95A – 1/12th I tripped the shutter at the #1 setting 1/12th.ĮDIT: Once I shot the image, I took the camera into the darkroom/closet to extract the photo, slid it back into an empty cartridge, stuck the cartridge in the Spectra and it ejected the image to start development. To check its close focus, I snapped a quick photo inside my bathroom, with the lens roughly 21 inches away from the mirror. The camera has notches for focusing from 3.5 – 50ft. – CLICK HERE for the Polaroid 95A Manual – If you’re removing film from your camera in the darkroom/closet, you will need a darkslide to put over the top of the cartridge BEFORE inserting it back in the camera. Nothing extra is needed to keep the film flat & in place. NOTE: When closed, the 95A’s back holds the film in place perfectly. Using this technique, I extracted the photo from my Spectra and put it inside the 95A while in the darkroom,*my closet*.
