The game will be released in India on October 27th, 2017 because of the most played game in India and the most this game will be released worldwide on November 16th, 2017. |
The game Shadow Fight 3 does not use Flat 2D Black Shadows to represent fighters anymore. Now in this version of the game, they are rendered as life-like 3-dimensional characters in a richly animated 3D environment barrier. There is still exist shadows in the game and can be accessed through a new mode known as Shadow form. In this Shadow Form, The game’s characters become a shadow and will be able to perform different awesome physics-defying moves based on the equipped items called Shadow Abilities. The Shadow Fight game is Available in different languages such as English, Russian, French, Chinese and many more. |
The Shadow fight 3 game is the most awesome game in the series to feature detailed character editor that is players can customize their in-game avatars by choosing their facial features, gender, as well as color and hairstyle at the beginning of the game. During the game process, this game character will acquire new skills and levels and develop in the direction chosen by the player. The awesome game features humanlike, physically precise fighting action with easy to learn and controls. The weapons, armor, helmet, and ranged weapons are associated with players according to their skills of the players resulting hundred of possible combinations. The players have their own awesome equipment according to their unique shadow ability except for the common variety. In the game, players can edit their fighting skills by picking special moves and perks suite to their playstyle. All the perks, moves and equipment are classified into different grades like: Rare, Legendary, Common, Epic and Unique with higher grades usually containing effective items. |

The schools each offers dozens of martial arts techniques, equipment, and weapons that the players can gain expertise to create unique fighting style. The game allows players to engage in several quests which expand the story and give further more information and strategy about the world. |
Vermintide 2's Update 1.1 brought in a whole bunch of new cosmetics, as well as daily quests and challenges with major rewards behind them. While the challenges were and still are a pretty nifty addition, a good portion of them were unfortunately impossible to complete on launch. You probably already know the ones I'm talking about: pushing Gutter Runners off allies and mid-flight, killing Blightstormers while they're channeling, and killing a Ratling Gunner while they're pinning your ally. Thankfully, all of those issues have now been fixed! |
Perhaps more interestingly, this update has also removed the highly controversial Red Shell tracker. It's intended use is to give developers information about the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns, but given that it's a third-party software people were rightly worried that their private information could end up in the wrong hands. Well, you no longer need to worry about that as Fatshark has now decided to remove the Red Shell tracker entirely. |
The final thing worth mentioning is that Fatshark has now brought back the "Power Vs Chaos" and "Power vs Skaven" combination on Charms. It was removed because it was deemed too powerful, but given that a good portion of the playerbase already has said stats available from previous items, they just opted to bring it back. Personally, I don't consider the combination to be particularly powerful since very few weapons require both, so I am quite pleased to see it back.<eot>Thank God for American health care | GreeleyTribune.com |
Thank God for American health care |
TWENTY YEARS OF public policy research on health care recently came home to me in a very personal way when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. |
Because I live in a country with a free-market health-care system, I had a choice of treatments: surgery, external radiation, brachy therapy. I was able to find the doctor and hospital that I felt most comfortable with. As a result, I can expect to live a long, healthy, cancer-free life. |
But if I lived elsewhere, the outcome might not have been the same. |
In most countries with national health insurance, the preferred treatment for prostate cancer is to do nothing. Prostate cancer is a slow-moving disease. Most patients are older and will live for several years after diagnosis. Therefore, it is not cost-effective in a world of socialized medicine to treat the disease too aggressively. The approach saves money, but comes at a more human cost. |
Even though American men are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than their counterparts in other countries, we are less likely to die from the disease. Less than one out of five American men with prostate cancer will die from it, but 57 percent of British men and nearly half of French and German men will. Even in Canada, a quarter of men diagnosed with prostate cancer die from the disease. |
The one common characteristic of all national health-care systems is that they ration care. Sometimes they ration it explicitly, denying certain types of treatment altogether. More often, they ration more indirectly, imposing global budgets or other cost constraints that limit the availability of high-tech medical equipment or impose long waits on patients seeking treatment. Consider this: Seven out of 10 Canadian provinces report sending prostate cancer patients to the United States for radiation treatment. In Great Britain, roughly 40 percent of cancer patients never get to see an oncology specialist. |
There are problems with the American health-care system. Too many Americans lack health insurance and/or are unable to afford the type of care that I received. We need to do more to lower health-care costs and increase access to care. Both patients and providers need better and more useful information. The system is riddled with waste and the quality of care is uneven. Government health-care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid threaten future generations with an enormous burden of debt and taxes. |
Yet we should never forget that America offers the highest quality health care in the world. Most of the world's top doctors, hospitals and research facilities are located in the United States. Eighteen of the last 25 winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine either are U.S. citizens or work here. Half of all the major new medicines introduced worldwide during the past 20 years have been developed by U.S. companies. In fact, Americans played a key role in 80 percent of the most important medical advances of the past 30 years. By almost any measure, if you are diagnosed with a serious illness, the United States is the place you want to receive treatment. That is why tens of thousands of patients from around the world come to this country every year for treatment. |
The guiding principle of health-care reform should be the Hippocratic admonition, "First do no harm." Those calling for national health care in America would destroy the things that make American health care so good. More government regulation, subsidies and control would simply drain the medical marketplace of the quality, dynamism and innovation that saves lives. |
What American health care needs is more choice and competition, not less. We've started down that route through health savings accounts and other market-oriented reforms, but more needs to be done.<eot>VESSEL REVIEW | Fjord FSTR – High-speed 109-metre Ro-Pax for Skagerrak Sea - Baird Maritime |
VESSEL REVIEW | Fjord FSTR – High-speed 109-metre Ro-Pax for Skagerrak Sea |
Written by Baird Maritime on June 4, 2021 . Posted in Ausmarine - Passenger Vessels, Ausmarine Vessel Reviews, Ro-Pax World, Work Boat World Vessel Reviews. |
Austal Philippines has handed over a new Ro-Pax ferry to Fjord Line of Norway. |
The all-aluminium Fjord FSTR is capable of transporting 1,200 passengers plus 35 crew and 404 cars – or 228 cars plus other freight totalling 530 lane metres – at speeds of up to 40 knots. The vessel measures 109 by 30.5 metres and has a draught of 3.42 metres and a maximum deadweight of 1,019 tonnes. |
Classed by DNV and sailing under the Danish flag, the catamaran vessel boasts a number of design innovations that enhance operating performance and passenger comfort, including a new, optimised hull form that will minimise fuel consumption and wake wash when operating on the Skagerrak Sea between Hirtshals, Denmark and Kristiansand, Norway. |
Power is provided by a quartet of MAN 20V 28/33D STC main diesel engines that each produce 9,600 kW. The engines drive four waterjets via ZF 60000 NR2H gearboxes, allowing a cruising speed of 37.5 knots to be achieved at 90 per cent MCR. |
As with all of Austal's recently completed newbuilding projects, Fjord FSTR features a specially developed motion control system that will help ensure improved stability and comfort even at high operating speeds. The system uses an array of hull-mounted sensors to monitor vessel motion. An advanced algorithm then computes the correct amount of damping forces that need to be generated by a set of hydraulically-powered T-foils that have been installed on the lower hull sections. |
High processing speeds enable the T-foils to continually adjust and apply just enough damping forces to control the vessel's pitch and roll at all speed settings under a broad range of operating conditions, thereby keeping the attitude as level as possible even when the sea gets rough. The motion control system can be remotely monitored via mobile device, through the ferry has a backup engineer control station with an operator override function that will allow the crew to take full manual control of the T-foils in the event of an emergency. |
The passenger accommodation areas are located on the upper deck, which has a total seating capacity of 870, and the bridge deck, which can house the remaining 330. The two decks each have a small mess for the crew while the upper deck also has multi-cubicle male and female restrooms. |

Because of its size, the ferry offers a greater number of amenities compared to the other vessels in its owner's fleet. Passengers can choose from three different dining options while both the children's play area and the duty-free shop are nearly twice as large as those on Fjord Line's former 91-metre ferry Fjord Cat, which has since been sold to an operator based in Germany. |
One of the vessel's onboard restaurants has a lounge area with reserved seating that passengers can access after paying additional for admission. The other two dining options include a cafe and a bistro, and the latter area even has charging ports for passengers' mobile devices. |
The cargo decks also have charging stations for use by electric vehicles. Fjord Line has claimed that Fjord FSTR is the first Norwegian-owned passenger vessel to offer such a capability. |
The newbuilding contract for Fjord FSTR was awarded to Austal in the summer of 2017, and construction duly commenced at the company's Philippine shipyard in Cebu province the following spring. The vessel was completed and delivered earlier this year and has since taken over the Kristiansand–Hirtshals route once served by Fjord Cat. Fjord Line said that, although Fjord FSTR can also cover the one-way distance in two hours and 15 minutes just like its predecessor, the newer ferry has doubled both the passenger and vehicle capacities along the same route. |

Our members, our team, our volunteers, our Board |
We are everyday people who want a democracy, an economy and a society that works for us. Being part of a likeminded community, we don't just stick to one issue, but look for opportunities to create a more fair and flourishing world. |
Whether we're campaigning to get multinationals to contribute their fair share of taxes, end family poverty, stop the TPPA or save Campbell Live – what all our issues share is a broad commitment to fairness and the common good. |
Yes we share core values, but as a community we won't always agree all of the time. And we all have some issues that we feel more strongly about than others. So at ActionStation you can get more involved in the issues that you care most about, easily act on issues you care a little about and simply sit out the campaigns that don't speak to you. |
ActionStation members participate in large ways and small, online and on the streets, to make their voices heard – including: |
Signing petitions, directly contacting their MPs, sharing content on social media; |
Starting their own campaigns using ActionStation's community site; |
Becoming media spokespeople for campaigns they know and care about; |
Volunteering their time to help other ActionStation members launch their own campaigns successfully; |
Reviewing campaign proposals to ensure they are consistent with community values; and |
Funding every campaign ActionStation works on. |
More than a quarter of million New Zealanders of all ages, ethnicities and political persuasion have invested their time, energy and money in campaigns they care about: from child poverty to corporate tax evasion, saving Campbell Live to stopping the TPPA. |
Countering the narrative that Kiwis, especially young people, are apathetic or content with the status quo, ActionStation members have: |
Written more than 10,000 individual submissions to Select Committees; |
Made 30,000 phone calls or other personal forms of contact with MPs; |
Contributed their stories to crowdsourced videos; |
Chipped in to fund polling that's highlighted public dismay on key issues like Kiwisaver's unethical investments; and |
Shown up in person to present petitions, participate in stunts and meet with Ministers. |
Our team is made up of a small team of paid staff, a volunteer Board and many other volunteers. |
Nina, Marianne, Rick and Laura |
ActionStation exists to create change, not just add to the noise. So our team's job is to direct members' precious time energy for maximum impact, whatever we're doing. |
Our team don't claim to be experts on every issue. What we do know how to do is bring large numbers of like-minded people together to create change. |
2016 brought some changes to the team, Ryan moved on (but fear not, he hasn't been lost to the good fight, he's campaigning on human rights and race relations) and in his place we were joined by Rick Zwaan. In January, we'll welcome Eliot Pryor to the team (previously the Campaign Director at SAFE, and prior to that worked at Amnesty International) who will provide support to members running their own campaigns through the OurActionStation site. |
If you're not yet familiar with OurActionStation, we made this handy video to explain what it's all about: |
Our regular volunteers in 2017 included: |

ActionStation members also elected four new Board members this year: |
Christine Ammunson is a communications professional with 15-years senior government experience developing and managing successful public relations strategies for government and NGOs. She is passionate about human rights, and wants to help New Zealanders realise that human rights need to start here at home in Aotearoa with issues that impact all of our lives such as homelessness, poverty and abuse. |
Graham Cameron has fifteen years direct involvement in governance and management roles in iwi, communities and neighbourhoods in Wellington and Tauranga Moana, and strong relationships with other iwi and communities throughout Aotearoa. He provides cultural supervision to local agencies, speaking to groups and organisations about community development and about biculturalism and the centrality of whakawhanaungatanga in engaging Māori communities. |
Garth Nowland-Foreman has an extensive nonprofit governance experience. For six years he was national director of a major advocacy group for low-income and disadvantaged people in Australia. He has taught for 18 years in a graduate programme on not for profit leadership. Garth also brings strong political analysis - he ran a national advocacy nonprofit in Australia; operated in Cabinet minister's office, serviced a Parliamentary inquiry, participated in government advisory bodies; and managed a policy unit. |
Allie Cunninghame is a litigator in a large national law firm. As well as bringing much needed legal expertise to the Board, Allie's work with corporate and government clients, combined with her passion for social justice, diversity and sustainability, gives her an understanding of and tools to negotiate corporate and government worlds and aids her goal of facilitating positive change, step by step.<eot>Home›Interest rate risk›SBA warns that rising mortgage rates could “subscribe $ 3 billion a year” to households |
