![]() The Seattle area developed into a technology center from the 1980s onwards with companies like Microsoft becoming established in the region Microsoft founder Bill Gates is a Seattleite by birth. Growth after World War II was partially due to the local Boeing company, which established Seattle as a center for aircraft manufacturing. Logging was Seattle's first major industry, but by the late 19th century, the city had become a commercial and shipbuilding center as a gateway to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush. Seattle currently has high populations of Native Americans alongside Americans with strong Asian, African, European, and Scandinavian ancestry, and hosts the sixth-largest LGBT community in the U.S. The settlement was moved to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay in 1852 and named "Seattle" in honor of Native American Chief Si'ahl of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes. Denny and his group of travelers, subsequently known as the Denny Party, arrived from Illinois via Portland, Oregon, on the schooner Exact at Alki Point on November 13, 1851. The Seattle area was inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent European settlers. A major gateway for trade with East Asia, Seattle is the fourth-largest port in North America in terms of container handling as of 2021. It is the northernmost major city in the United States, located about 100 miles (160 km) south of the Canadian border. Seattle is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington. ![]() Its growth rate of 21.1% between 20 made it one of country's fastest-growing large cities. The Seattle metropolitan area's population is 4.02 million, making it the 15th-largest in the United States. With a 2020 population of 737,015, it is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It is the seat of King County, Washington. Seattle ( / s i ˈ æ t əl/ ( listen) see- AT-əl) is a seaport city on the West Coast of the United States.

![]() The Hand Crossbow attack, which consumes a full action, does an average of 8.5 damage, far less than a single Shadow Sword attack, let alone a Multiattack. Does initiating combat with this attack offer any advantage over jumping right into melee? Let’s see. In addition to its melee Multiattack, the shadowblade also has a fairly straightforward ranged attack that does piercing damage and may also impose the poisoned and unconscious conditions. (This stunt can be performed only once per turn, so even if the shadowblade has more than one patch of darkness lingering around, it can’t use both its Shadow Sword attacks to do this extra damage.) But with its Multiattack, on any Shadow Sword hit after the first, the shadowblade can direct that darkness into its enemy for a burst of additional necrotic damage. Even if the target has a light source that creates bright light, the creation of this magical darkness gives the shadowblade a “teleporter pad” by which it can use Shadow Step to slip away. By itself, Shadow Sword not only does piercing, necrotic and poison damage on a hit but also creates a patch of magical darkness. The drow shadowblade’s Multiattack consists of two Shadow Sword attacks that synergize into a nasty combination. If the shadowblade’s target lacks darkvision and is bumbling around in the murk without a decent light source, the sequence is less crucial, and the shadowblade is free to use Shadow Step to slip out of melee rather than to initiate it. Simply attacking while unseen grants advantage, too. That’s assuming, however, that a shadowblade needs Shadow Step in order to gain advantage on its attack. In addition, as a bonus action, shadowblades can use the Shadow Step feature to teleport up to 60 feet between one dimly lit or dark location and another doing so also grants advantage on “the first melee attack it makes before the end of the turn.” The wording is crucial, because it dictates shadowblades’ turn sequence and mode of striking: the bonus action must be taken before the attack, and the attack must be a melee attack, i.e., either Shadow Sword, grapple or shove. They also have the standard drow spell package of dancing lights plus one daily casting each of darkness, faerie fire and levitate. Like all drow, they have long-range darkvision plus Sunlight Sensitivity, confining them to nighttime and (more likely) subterranean operations. With proficiency in all of the “big three” saving throws (Dexterity, Constitution and Wisdom) and with innate advantage against being charmed, shadowblades have little to fear from enemy spellcasters and can assail their desired targets without distraction. Their Constitution is high enough that they can handle a protracted battle, but they’d rather not. With extraordinary Dexterity serving as both their primary offensive ability and primary defensive ability, they’re shock attackers, striking swiftly and hard with the goal of taking out their targets as fast as possible. ![]() Who has gets the best Shadow blade in dnd 5e spell? By Using this Spell you can Create threads of Shadow.Drow shadowblades are spies and assassins, trained to strike from hiding. Shadow blade is in the 5th edition that means it’s an illusion spell that is created a sword that is made of solidified shadow. Warlock and wizard have 2, 2 levels themselves. This type of magic sword will last until the spell ends. Melee weapon can be used as a proficient weapon. It will be creating a 2d8 psychic type of damage with a big hit. If the player of this will drop or throw this weapon then the player can easily dissipate at the end of every turn. So shadow blade is also known as the booming blade. The booming blade is the best combination of Dungeons & Dragons. The set of dungeon & dragon releases the older productions of Tasha’s Cauldron. The booming blade or shadow blade can be used in many notable changes in every spell casting. This can be used in many spell-casting cantrips. The shadow blade spell is revised in the edition so that the many spells can be removed from the synchronicity with many other spells. The booming blade can help stacked with the spell shadow blade. The booming or shadow blade required a material component which is a melee weapon and it is worth 1 silver piece material component. When in the past, the shadow blade can cause the player as a bonus action but now booming blade can act as an action today. The spell of dungeon and dragon can damage the two spells. The shadow blade can be used in the dim light or the darkness in the time of sneak attack damage. ![]() No excerpt currently exists for this novel. Personally selected by Richard Matheson, the bestselling author of I Am Legend and What Dreams May Come, these and many other stories, more than demonstrate why he is rightfully regarded as one of the finest and most influential horror writers of our generation. "Dress of White Silk," a seductively sinister tale of evil and innocence. "Blood Son," a disturbing portrait of a strange little boy who dreams of being a vampire "Prey," in which a terrified woman is stalked by a malevolent Tiki doll, as chillingly captured in yet another legendary TV moment ![]() "Duel," the nail-biting tale of man versus machines that inspired Steven Spielberg's first film William Shatner gives a brilliant performance in NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET from the 5th season and directed by Richard Donner. Here are more than twenty of Matheson's most memorable tales of fear and paranoia, including: "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" is just one of many classic horror stories by Richard Matheson that have insinuated themselves into our collective imagination. The first trailer put the spotlight on Nightmare at 30,000 Feet, an episode starring Adam Scott that derives its title from the original series’ famous episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (in which William Shatner glimpses a terrifying creature on the wing of an airplane midflight). Remember that monster on the wing of the airplane? William Shatner saw it on The Twilight Zone, John Lithgow saw it in the movie-even Bart Simpson saw it.

But on the other, as we see in Fury Road, as well as the earlier films, the flame of who he once was still burns inside of him-he was a cop, a husband, a father, a good man-which is the part of him that won’t let him walk away from trouble. On one hand, he floats through this desolate existence, just surviving. In a ruined world already tearing itself apart, this was the last thing tethering Max to the remnants of civilization, and severing that final tie set him adrift, which we subsequently saw in The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome. In 1979’s Mad Max, Max, played by Mel Gibson, loses his wife and infant son to a vicious motorcycle gang headed by Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who also plays the villain Immortan Joe in Fury Road). Mad is both on a quest to find himself, his better self, and outrun his past. This character type is also one with a past, and as you see, haunted by horrific visions, Max is certainly carrying around some rather hefty baggage with him as he wanders the sun-scorched wastes. Hardy’s Max is certainly a throwback to this archetype, only this time around they’ve taken the whole strong-but-silent thing to crazy-ass extremes, and swapped out horses for customized battlewagons and war rigs. Just as often, he’s a reluctant hero, one who doesn’t want to get involved initially, who only wants to look out for number one, but is moved by forces greater than himself to intervene. Post-apocalyptic movies, including the Mad Max family of films, often take their cues from the western genre, stories where the grim, stoic man-of-action arrives on the troubled scene and takes measures, usually violent, to rectify the situation. ![]() You can add an Icon resource, set various Mac OS X native look.Amazon Cloud Player is a music storage service and player from Amazon that lets you listen to all your favorite music, no matter where you are.Its available for your browser on both Windows and Mac, as well as on mobile devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or any Android phone.You can use it by logging in with your Amazon account, which enables you to listen to an album that youre interested in before you buy it directly from the store.The app is fully integrated with Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD, so you can use it no matter where you are.Download JarBundler For Mac 2.2.0 Pro Reviewed by Álvaro ToledoDownload JarBundler For Mac 2.2.

It works out at 26.2kph, and that’s fine by me. ![]() It says my top speed was 79% of that for a male pro player – and I’ll take that. My top speed is clocked at 7.3 metres per second, which is below the community average of 7.6 m/s and some way off the pro centre-forward’s average of 9.2 m/s.īut I didn’t need an app to tell me I wasn’t the quickest. I’m ignoring the app and giving myself a big pat on the back. In the first half I stayed almost exclusively in the opposition half – we were on top, were 2-0 up at half-time, and I stay up when we defend corners – but in the second half I dropped off a lot more – we conceded quite early and were under the cosh a lot until scoring late on. I’m an amateur footballer, playing on a Saturday morning, and I can see my heat map. I actually cover almost as much ground in the second half as the first.Ī third screen shows my heat map. It’s maybe a tad concerning that my most active five minutes was 5-10, but the bar chart doesn’t actually look too bad. I’m happy with that.Ĭleverly, the app also breaks down my distance into five-minute segments to show my most active periods and when I tired. It turns out I covered 8.04km, which the app informs me is well above the 7.43km ‘community’ average but some way short of the 10km the average professional centre-forward covers in a game. This isn’t doing my confidence much good. Was that the plan?’ You what, mate? I’m knackered! ‘Looks like you took that game pretty easy. The team is doing well, I’ve worked hard and I’ve contributed. I gave about as much as I possibly could. I didn’t score, but I did get two assists and, for the first time in years, I got cramp. We won this game too, 3-1 against a team that had won their first two, making it seven points out of nine for us. I’ve been our top scorer for the last three years and I’d scored two goals in the first two games of this season going into this little experiment so I was feeling pretty good. I blame the booze.īut I’ve been playing every Saturday morning for six seasons now, originally as a centre-back but more recently as a centre-forward. I’m 33, and though at 6ft 3in and 13 stone I may look a bit like a footballer, it’s fair to say I’m lagging behind a bit in the fitness stakes. Stupidly, I decided to wear one of these vests in my Saturday morning league and compare my results to the professionals… The gameįirst of all, some background mitigation. Produced by Catapult, who provide vests to clubs including Chelsea, Tottenham, Bayern Munich and PSG, the £199 PLAYR system incorporates a vest, a small SmartPod which is placed into the vest and fits comfortably between the shoulder blades, and a charging dock. The GPS vests undoubtedly represent one of football’s greatest technological advances of recent times, and now they’re available for amateur footballers to buy, too. This kind of physical tracking data has long been collected by companies such as Prozone, while a more recent development has seen clubs using GPS vests to track their players’ workload and intensity in training, too.Īnd in 2015, the International Football Association Board approved the use of wearable tracking devices during games, allowing clubs to see in real time who is putting the effort in – and who isn’t. With clubs able to see how much distance players cover in a game, what speeds they reach and how often they break into a sprint over the 90 minutes, they simply can’t get away with taking it easy. If they do, they won’t stay in the team for long. And as much as we kid ourselves otherwise at times, footballers get through a lot of work. ![]() ![]() The only trouble is, while we might score the tap-in or make the easy pass, there’d be another 89 minutes to worry about. Whether it’s a striker missing an easy chance, a midfielder misplacing a five-yard pass or a defender mistiming a tackle in the penalty area, sometimes the pros make mistakes so basic that we can’t help but wonder if it should be us out there. No matter what level of football you watch, there’s bound to be at least one moment every weekend when you’re sure you could do better. Each 20-board game costs 40 Diamonds which is equivalent to €2 (by charging you in Euros you are charged less than £2). Games are now charged in "Diamonds", Funbridge's virtual currency. You don't have to play all the boards in one go, so you could play some over breakfast, some in the afternoon, and the final few before you go to bed. Games take place every day and run until midnight (24 hours). The games are scored by Match Points (the usual pairs scoring method) except for those on Mondays and Fridays which are scored by IMPs. However, your robotic opponents always play the same system against you - "5-card major at intermediate level" (you can see the features of this system when you look at your own system options). ![]() You can choose the system you play with your robot partner, and can choose to play Acol - unlike other platforms which are set up only for American systems - so it's ideal for British bridge players. As you are competing against the same robotic opponents as everyone else, you will be able to compare your results with the others in the competition. As you will have a robot partner you can play 'on your own' and don't need to make arrangements to play with another human. You will partner another 'robot player' against a pair of robot players. The competition each day runs from midnight to midnight. You can stop and restart as often as you like - you don't need to play all 20 boards in a single sitting. You play 20 boards, and these will be available for you to play throughout the day. The competitions use Funbridge's 'Federation Tournaments' feature. ![]()
