![]() The “red” patches can sometimes be cream, orange, yellow, or gold, and the “black” can sometimes be gray, chocolate, or tabby. The pattern combines two colors - and never white - and is typically described as ginger-red and black. Tortoiseshell cats aren’t a specific breed but are cats with a distinctive coat pattern, similar to tortoiseshell material. Tortoiseshell cats aren’t a specific breed. Whether you’re interested in adopting a tortie or just want to learn more about these magnificent cats, here are a few fun facts about them. If you see a mixture of darker colors-this is a tortie. Once you have this concept in mind, it will be easy to tell the difference from now on.All cats are unique and beautiful in their own way, but there’s something special about tortoiseshell cats, nicknamed “torties.” Their coats are certainly eye-catching and their reputation for being a bit feisty is infamous. That’s right- if you spot white patches, you’re dealing with a calico. But in reality, the coloring and the personalities vary quite a lot, and the separation is concrete. After all, they are both a mixtape of different colors, resulting in a similar coat construction. You may think the tortie and the calico are essentially the same. Difference Between Tortoiseshell and Calico That means many different cat breeds can have calico coats like Persians, Munchkins, and Maine Coons, but no cat is exclusively called “calico” by name. A calico can produce several colors on the kitty spectrum-there are no guarantees.Ĭalico is also not a breed-it’s just a pattern. This means you could not breed a calico cat with the hope of an all-calico litter. Rather than being bred for their particular coat pattern, the calico phenomenon is a spontaneous act of nature. ![]() But they have patches of bold color that can be orange, black, tan, grey, chocolate, cream, red, or brown. The calico has an exceptionally recognizable color palette. Or they can be very relaxed, gentle, and loving. A calico can share the attitude of a tortie-bold, independent, and mischievous. When it comes to the personality you can expect, this varies more than other patterns. These cats have been the epicenter of scientific studies, trying to figure out what spontaneous genes combine to create this gorgeous feline. The beautiful calico is a tri-colored cat that always, always, always sports white in the mix.

Still, today, when some spot a stray tortie, they believe great things will follow. And you may be able to strike a small fortune since male torties are considered a hot commodity-like a four-leaf clover.Īre you superstitious? In Celtic folklore, the tortoiseshell pattern is also attributed to luck. That means you couldn’t use a male tortie in hopes of breeding them. Males are incredibly rare-and always sterile. Many torties have a “chimera-like” face, meaning two colors split nearly perfectly down the middle. They are instantly recognizable for their dark swirls and interesting patterns. Torties are two shades of color, essentially any color from black to cream, but no white. These creatures are independent-the epitome of a cat owning you rather than the reverse. These felines are known for their fiery, spicy attitudes, sporting a diva complex wherever they go-commonly referred to as “tortitude”. ![]() The tortie harbors a lot of personality under their unique coat. As you could guess, their name comes from their coat pattern, which looks quite similar to a tortoise’s shell. ![]() This is an introduction to the lovely, ever-sassy tortoiseshell-better known as “torties”.

![]() Political scandals and collapse of corporations have resulted in the social breakdown of Tarkov and warring factions have turned the city into a shell of itself with sections of the city being under control of aggressive locals called Scavs. PlotĮscape from Tarkov is set in the fictional city of Tarkov, the capital of the Norvinsk Special Economic Zone in northwestern Russia between the years 20. The player must also monitor their energy and hydration levels over the course of a raid. Scavenging items from containers and bodies takes time, as each item is revealed individually while the player searches. ![]() The game models realistic ballistics, including features such as ricochets and bullet penetration. Taking damage requires specific types of medical supplies to address wounds, such as bandages for bleeding. The game also has a health system, whereby each of the character's limbs has hit points. To check how much ammunition is still in their weapon requires checking the magazine manually – no on-screen counter is provided. In-game, the player has fine-grained control over their character's movement speed and crouch height. They can equip their character with military equipment including armored vests, armored rigs, and ballistic helmets. Weapons can be built by the player by customizing all its constituent parts, such as selecting the dust cover, grip, stock and scope, a degree of complexity uncommonly seen in the first-person shooter genre. CombatĮscape from Tarkov 's gameplay has been compared to military simulation games such as the ARMA series. These bonuses include reducing the cooldown timer to play as a Scav, increasing experience gained, and the ability to craft items. Players have an upgradeable "Hideout" living area, which is an underground bomb shelter that – once upgraded with scavenged or purchased materials – gives the players in-game bonuses. These traders also task the player with completing quests which increase their trader loyalty, enabling access to more items and quests. While not in a raid, players can sell unwanted loot to traders or other players via the flea market and purchase new equipment. Each raid lasts between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the map, and may contain up to 14 players. After finishing a scavenger raid, there is a cooldown timer until the mode becomes available again for the player. In scavenger raids, players are given a random set of equipment, instead of items from their personal stash, and enter a raid that is already in progress at a random location. Players can insure weapons and equipment they brought in which enables that gear to be returned to them if not taken by other players or bots. When players die in a raid, they lose everything, including loot and the equipment they brought into the raid. The game has a minimal HUD, with little on-screen information presented to the player. Once extracted, can store their loot in a stash to use in future raids or sell it to other players in a virtual flea market. In addition to combat, players can also find loot such as firearms, equipment, and armor. In addition to these standard extractions, players are also given the opportunity to use other extraction points near the middle of the map, but must meet various requirements depending on the specific extract. ![]() Once in-game, the players are given an extraction point on the other side of the map, and must fight against other players and non-player characters to reach that point in order to escape. In these raids, players can choose to play solo or in groups and spawn on one side of a variety of maps to choose from in the game. ![]() In its current state, Escape from Tarkov incorporates three different modes for the players to play: online PMC raids, Scav (short for "scavenger") raids, and a temporary offline mode. The developers of Escape from Tarkov refer to the game as a realistic and hardcore first-person shooter, survival video game that borrows elements from massively multiplayer online games. Players join matches called "raids" in which they fight other players and bots for loot and aim to survive and escape. The game is set in the fictional Norvinsk region in northwestern Russia, where a war is taking place between two private military companies (United Security "USEC" and the Battle Encounter Assault Regiment "BEAR"). Escape from Tarkov is a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter video game in development by Battlestate Games for Microsoft Windows. ![]() ![]() ![]() This gives you access to all the settings.

![]() That song is “Speechless,” an empowerment ballad the princess sings to basically tell all the men in her life that she won’t be quiet or pushed into a corner! Hashtag feminism! It‘s all very modern and, stylistically, a step away from the movie’s established sonic landscape, but hey-it’s nice for the princess to finally get a big stand-alone moment. Speaking of new songs: the number that generated the most buzz ahead of the film was the new song that Pasek and Paul wrote for Princess Jasmine (played by Naomi Scott, who has a great voice!). ![]() Sample line: “This is your chance, man / Wish from your soul / When I’m out of the lamp, man / I’m out of control!” (And yes, comedian Demi Adejuyigbe totally called it two years ago with his impression of Smith’s end credits music.) It’s two pure minutes and 39 pure seconds of Smith rapping in character as the Genie. In the new version, the line is changed to “He’s got 10,000 servants and flunkies!” Great!īut the biggest change to “Friend Like Me” arrives at the end of the film, when the credits roll and it’s revealed that Smith and DJ Khaled made a hip-hop remix of the classic song. Lyrically, there are two notable changes in the original “Prince Ali,” there’s a line where the people rattle off the prince’s bona fides, at one point singing “He’s got slaves, he’s got servants and flunkies!” Which-problematic. How to Format Lyrics: Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines Use section headers above different song parts like Verse. Performance-wise, Smith picks to emphasize totally different inflection points than Williams, differentiating himself in subtle ways. In “Prince Ali,” the marquee number Genie uses to introduces Aladdin’s royal alter ego, the music has been amped up to have more of an Agrabah-meets-Mardi Gras big-band effect. Let’s start with some of the more minor, but noticeable changes. The changes range from subtle lyric twists to new songs, including a much-ballyhooed number for Jasmine written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. A Whole New World Lyrics: I can show you the world / Shining, shimmering, splendid / Tell me, princess / Now when did you last let your heart decide / I can open your eyes / Take you wonder. It is the only song on the first side of the album to be co-produced. However-Disney has also allowed a handful of changes and new additions that will tweak the ear of any fan of the first Aladdin. It is a remix of the song Whole New World/Pretend World, and it samples another song on the album, Infatuation. In Disney’s new live-action iteration, directed by Guy Ritchie, that music stays largely the same, a testament to the soundtrack’s classic staying power. ![]() Aside from Robin Williams’s iconic performance as Genie, the most enduring aspect of Disney’s 1992 Aladdin is the film’s soundtrack, with unforgettable music composed by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. ![]() ![]() You don’t have to worry about malware or viruses infecting your device when using this program.

![]() Livid, she launches herself at Ebony, but Lance restrains her while Ebony runs into the bathroom and locks herself in it. She is able to get in and lock the door on him despite his attempts to force an entry, but when she goes looking for Ebony (Monica Calhoun) intending to get her help in calling 911, she finds her in bed with Lance. When she reaches the door to her apartment, she gets approached by her obsessive customer Miron (Jimmy Woodard), who wishes to come inside and admits that he has been following her home every night. However, she does ask for his number, and he provides it. One night, the club’s DJ, Blue (Jamie Foxx), approaches Diana (LisaRaye McCoy) as she is about to go home after a shift and asks for her phone number so she can take her out sometime, but she refuses to give it to him, telling him that she just broke up with her boyfriend Lance (Monte Russell) and there is a chance that they could reconcile. Ebony recuperated from the assault and moved back to Florida with her mother, Ronnie and Tricks went to work at another strip club after they got out of jail, Junior is serving time in prison for Ebony’s rape, and Dollar Bill was never heard from again (having obviously been killed by St. rocket launcher.ĭiana graduates from college and becomes a news reporter, and she continues to date Blue, who is now a top DJ at a local radio station.

Louis – whom Dollar Bill is deep in debt to – and his men attack the club, and the goons catch Dollar Bill and throw him into the trunk of one of their cars and take off. Diana and Blue then tell Dollar Bill that they are quitting and leave, and Peters and Freeman then show up and cuff Ronnie and Tricks, put them in their cruiser with Junior, and drive away. ![]() Diana and Blue later come by to pick up Ebony and find her in her state, and after (somehow) deducing that Ronnie and Junior were responsible for this, Diana calls the crooked cops Peters and Freeman and fills them in on the details while also pinning blame on Tricks (even though she had no hand in it).Īs Peters and Freeman find and arrest Junior, Diana and Blue go to the Players Club and find Ronnie and Tricks, and Diana beats Ronnie bloody in the subsequent brawl they have. When Ebony goes to a motel to dance at a bachelor party being held for Ronnie’s brother Junior, she ends up getting raped and beaten into unconsciousness by Junior, and Ronnie sees the aftermath and helps Junior get away. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tuning forks can be driven electrically, by placing electromagnets close to the prongs that are attached to an electronic oscillator circuit, so that their sound does not die out. R is the radius of the prongs in metresįorks have traditionally been used to tune musical instruments, although electronic tuners are replacing them in many applications.ρ is the density of the material the fork is made from in kilogrammes per cubic metre.E is the Young's modulus of the material the fork is made from in pascals.l is the length of the prongs in metres.A is the cross-sectional area of the prongs (tines) in square metres.f is the frequency the fork vibrates at in Hertz.The frequency of a tuning fork depends on its dimensions and the material from which is made: f = 1 2 π l 2 A E ρ Well-known manufacturers of tuning forks include Ragg and John Walker, both of Sheffield, England.Ĭalculation of frequency Standard tuning forks are available for all the musical pitches within the central octave of the piano, and other pitches. Tuning forks used by orchestras between 17 mostly had a frequency of A = 423.5 Hz, although there were many forks and many slightly different pitches. It is the pitch of the violin's second string, the first string of the viola, and an octave above the first string of the cello, all played open. This is the standard concert pitch, used as tuning note by some orchestras. The most common tuning fork sounds the note of A = 440 Hz. Filing the ends of the prongs raises the pitch, while filing the inside of the base of the prongs lowers it. If a sound absorbing sheet is slid in between the prongs of a vibrating fork, reducing the waves reaching the ear from one prong, the volume heard will actually increase, due to a reduction of this cancellation.Ĭommercial tuning forks are normally tuned to the correct pitch at the factory, but they can be retuned by filing material off the prongs. ![]() The reason for this is that the sound waves produced by each fork prong are 180° out of phase with the other, so at a distance from the fork they interfere and largely cancel each other out. Without the resonator (which may be as simple as a table top to which the handle is pressed), the sound is very faint. ![]() The handle motion is small, allowing the fork to be held by the handle without damping the vibration, but it allows the handle to transmit the vibration to a resonator (like the hollow rectangular box often used), which amplifies the sound of the fork. There is a node (point of no vibration) at the base of each prong. It is easier to tune other instruments with this pure tone, when listening to compare with the tone of each other instrument.Īnother reason for using the fork shape is that, when it vibrates in its principal mode, the handle vibrates up and down as the prongs move apart and together. So when the fork is struck, little of the energy goes into the overtone modes they also die out correspondingly faster, leaving the fundamental. By comparison, the first overtone of a vibrating string is only one octave above the fundamental. The reason for this is that the frequency of the first overtone is about 5 2/2 2 = 25/4 = 6¼ times the fundamental (about 2½ octaves above it). This is not the case with other resonators. ![]() Most of the vibrational energy is at the fundamental frequency, with very few overtones ( harmonics). The fork shape produces a very pure tone. He was the Sergeant Trumpeter to the court, who had musical parts written for him by the composers George Frideric Handel and Henry Purcell. The tuning fork was invented in 1711 by British musician John Shore. Its main use is as a standard of pitch to tune other musical instruments, and in some tests of hearing.ĭescription Tuning fork by John Walker stamped with note (E) and frequency in hertz (659) The pitch depends on the length of the two prongs. It sounds a pure musical tone after waiting a moment to allow some high overtone sounds to die out. It resonates at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against an object. The prongs, called tines, are made from a U-shaped bar of metal (usually steel).

You’ll find that there are different tiers of each weapon, with higher tiers coming with upgrades such as pre-attached scopes and better recoil. Each weapon maintains the same solid shooting mechanics seen in Battlefield V's other modes. The great diversity of items keeps loadouts fresh every game and allowed me to change it up almost every time I dropped in. The airstrike is one of the best items in Firestorm because it destroys all buildings inside its radius, basically deleting any enemy or squad that’s holed up within. You can use flare guns to mark opponents on your map, and some even call in support like the airstrike or vehicle airdrops. Once you land, there’s more than just three tiers of armor, backpacks, and guns to scavenge for: you’ll find items such as airstrikes, vehicle fuel and ammo, and flare guns littered across every corner of Halvoy. When you jump out of a plane and deploy your parachute you have great control of your descent, allowing you to land precisely where you’d like (as opposed to battle royales like CoD Black Ops 4: Blackout, PUBG, and Fortnite, which all have different and complicated ways to drop and land faster which feel unnecessarily restrictive.) Which is a shame, because it’s at least uniformly beautiful.įirestorm does do a fantastic job when it comes to two other fundamental parts of battle royale games: Good drops and plenty of interesting loot. Even though Halvoy is so large that matches begin with the titular firestorm already in effect and setting parts of it outside the contracting circle, the absence of landmarks made running around the map uninteresting for me because it all felt the same. When I recall stories and experiences about most battle royale games, the location of where the situation took place is always the first thing that comes to mind In Firestorm, it all blends together. I know roughly where I am on each of those maps based on proximity to Fortnite’s Tilted Towers or PUBG’s Pochinki, but Firestorm is just a bunch of rolling green hills, snow, and identical quaint houses. Halvoy is a beautiful map but only the visually distinctive Digging Site is memorable.īy contrast, PUBG, Fortnite, and Apex Legends all have maps with distinctive areas and named locations that stand out. The mines are hard to forget because they drop down into a massive crater housing stashes of loot and a heavily fortified hangar. I might even say that it is the most aesthetically pleasing battle royale map out right now, except that there’s only one memorable area: the visually distinctive mines, called the Digging Site. The menacing fire circle, lush green forest patches, and snow-covered hilltops all combine to form an eye-catching battlefield. A relatively small group of 64 players drop onto Battlefield V’s biggest map yet, called Halvoy, and it is absolutely gorgeous. ![]() |
