![]() Simply load only 8 and leave it, before long the spring will ease allowing all 9 rounds. Tension loading the 9th round is actually a good indication of high-grade music wire mag spring. A mag-loading tool is best when this mag is new. The build quality is first rate, this one is made in USA and as good as the Italian made mags. Why have that lip on it that the rounds get jammed on!? Seems like such minuscule and trivial problem. I bought mine the last yr they made the lc9 it fits and works great the only issue is I paid $44 at the time I bought it I have big hands so using the 9 rd mag is a bonus. The cost is too much for one mag or two mags. 4 stars because of the price.ĩ round magazines for LC9 are seriously over priced. I agree with those who say it is a bit pricey, but I dont have to buy it do I? I wish Ruger would sell the adapter by itself so I could retrofit my 7 rounders. Its not stamped 9 round is it? No it is not. Keep in mind this is a 7 round mag with an adapter on the end. Bought two more had a little difficulty loading them, but if you tap the mag before the last one or two rounds, they fit just fine. CONFIDENCE IN THE TOOLS YOU USE MAKES YOUR OPERATION OF THOSE TOOLS THAT MUCH BETTER. BUT THE COST OF A RELIABLE AND MAYBE LIFE SAVING MAG IS AN INVESTMENT I`LL MAKE EVERY DAY. I LIVE ON DISABILITY INCOME SO MONEY IS VERY TIGHT. THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THESE MAGS ARE VERY HIGH QUALITY AND THATS WHAT DRIVES THE PRICE. IF YOU CARRY AN LC9s FOR YOUR EDC YOU HAD BETTER BE ABLE TO COUNT TO 10 BECAUSE YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT AND I WOULD NEVER RELIES ON SMALL HOLES IN THE SIDE OF ANY MAG TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY ROUNDS ARE LOADED IN THE MAG. I BOUGHT TWO MORE SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH EITHER MAG. AND IT DOES MAKE FOR BETTER GRIP WHEN SHOOTING. YES IT WAS HARD TO LOAD ALL 9 ROUNDS WHEN NEW, BUT AFTER A SHORT BREAK IN PERIOD IT LOADED JUST FINE.

![]() ![]() I have six quarterbacks listed in my Top 30 overall. It became even more evident as I started to create my SuperFlex rankings for this piece. SuperFlex leagues require an added level of intrigue and draft strategy that can greatly alter the value of players not only at quarterback but at every other position as well. I am all about SuperFlex leagues and push for this format to be the new industry standard moving forward. Under normal circumstances, I would have sided with Mick and shored up my backfield, but in SuperFlex, for me at least, quarterback is king. I don’t believe that either strategy is superior to the other, as we all know how crucial depth at running back is to securing a championship ring. Where John and I preferred to go for depth at quarterback, Mick tilted toward the aforementioned group of guys. Mick, in particular, seemed to be fond of second-string and handcuff running backs. Personally, I leaned towards Drew Brees and Josh Allen to round out my top-50, but John was much higher on guys like Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan, locking them into our consensus top-50.Īnother interesting observation was the apparent fact that we view the double-digit rounds very differently. As a whole, we mostly agreed on the elite quarterbacks, but we began to differ when it came time to rank the second-tier. ![]() Looking at the group’s consensus rankings, we had a whopping eight quarterbacks ranked in the first 50 players alone. This is SuperFlex, and much like the NFL, you’re going to need to spend up if you hope to compete. No more waiting until the end of your draft, and no more weekly streaming of the position. Say what?! Your fantasy football league didn’t use Fantrax last year? Unthinkable! Check out all the features Fantrax has to offer, and we think you’ll be singing a different tune for the coming season.įorget everything you know about drafting quarterbacks. We hope that all fantasy footballers jump into this format during the 2020 fantasy football season. The rankings are based on 1-point PPR scoring and no TE premium. All three of us ranked players, regardless of position, 1 to 150 in order to make it easier to draft a team. Luckily, Mick Ciallela and Taylor Lambert agreed to join me in producing a SuperFlex Hot 150. In order to do so, we needed to rank players according to SuperFlex values when drafting. Afterward, we wanted to help owners convert to a SuperFlex format. ![]() Last week, my fantastic Fantrax teammates partook in a SuperFlex Mock Draft and answered four fiery questions to provide analysis for readers. Will you join me in the #SuperFlexRevolution? In 2020, I hereby refuse to play in any 1-QB leagues or formats that devalue the most important position on the gridiron. Rankings, positional value, and roster construction vary among players and experts and make the draft, and season, so much more interesting. Without question, SuperFlex leagues provide the best option for alternative-reality zealots like myself. For over 30 years, I have played fantasy football in nearly every possible format. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can learn more about extension search filters below.

The Ace of Clubs has the Ace of Spades as their Saturn card, teaching them that they need to go through these karmic lifestyle deaths and rebirths over the course of their life. For example, the 2 of Clubs has the Ace of Spades as its karma card, which gives the 2 of clubs a fear of death or just fear in general. If found in Saturn, it could signal a significant rebirth experience where you drop your ego and a part of you dies to make room for some large scale transformation.Ĭertain Cards have the Ace of Spades in a tough position. If found in Venus, it might speak to a secret lover. If you find this card in Jupiter, it may indicate a new job or lifestyle that will benefit you. The Ace of Spades is the ancient symbology of mystery and secrets, and it really represents an acorn that falls from the tree and then creates something out of nothing, in this case, that something is a light of consciousness and new awareness. You’ll also notice that of all the Aces, the symbol on this card is bigger, almost to represent the large scale change you can make with it. It is the most powerful of Aces and even the creator of our card system -the Magi’s were Ace of Spades as it rules esoteric knowledge. To great surprise, the Ace of Spades were sent free of charge, and the press spread Rumors that the Viet Cong feared the Ace more than the bombers.The Ace of Spades is a special card. in Cincinnati requesting 1,000 decks of 52 cards with each card being an Ace of Spades. T he macabre meaning of the card om Germanic times and Yuletide belief So strong was the Ace of Spades it spread among American troops rapidly and in 1966, an officer from the 25th Infantry Division wrote to the U.S. ![]() The history of the relationship between the Ace of Spades and death dates back to ancient times, when it was solely a European phenomenon. These points were well-known to the Vietnamese and that the Death card was an indicator that would strike fear into the soldiers. The North Vietnamese were superstitious and making the Ace of Spades the symbol of death, and suffering. But in Vietnam, it meant a more sinister meaning. It was the soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division who painted an Ace of Spades on them. ![]() First Popular during the 1960s, the card’s use as a death symbol dates to World War II. The practice of putting those cards on the bodies of dead enemies began prior to the Vietnam war and was most started by American soldiers in the field. The card, associated with death, was a standard-issued card deck given to soldiers. The Ace of Spades gained fame after Francis Ford Coppola’s war epic, Apocalypse Now, hit screens in the late '70s The card was flung onto the bodies of dead enemy soldiers as part of brain washing warfare designed to reap fear in the Vietnamese.

![]() ![]() Lyme disease is transmitted to humans by the bites of infected ticks of the genus Ixodes. Despite appropriate treatment, about 10 to 20% of those affected develop joint pains, memory problems, and tiredness for at least six months. Occasionally, shooting pains or tingling in the arms and legs may develop. Months to years later, repeated episodes of joint pain and swelling may occur. If untreated, symptoms may include loss of the ability to move one or both sides of the face, joint pains, severe headaches with neck stiffness or heart palpitations. Other early symptoms may include fever, headaches and tiredness. Approximately 70–80% of infected people develop a rash. The rash is typically neither itchy nor painful. The most common sign of infection is an expanding red rash, known as erythema migrans (EM), which appears at the site of the tick bite about a week afterwards. ![]() Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is a vector-borne disease caused by Borrelia bacteria, which are spread by ticks in the genus Ixodes.

This uncertainty can lead to conflict - with some doctors advocating treatment and others stating further treatment is not indicated. Because we do not yet have a diagnostic test that is a sensitive marker of active infection, patients and doctors are left with tremendous uncertainty regarding whether or not to treat with additional antibiotics. For patients whose symptoms return or for those whose initial infection wasn't caught early, the course of illness may be more prolonged and the treatment uncertain. When patients are treated shortly after infection, most patients recover fully and do well. In most other patients, antibiotic treatment is needed to fight the disease that develops. In these patients, a healthy immune system may be sufficient to eradicate the spirochete. Some patients do not experience any symptoms after the bite of a tick that carries the bacterial agent of Lyme disease. Symptoms may develop quickly or not until many months or years later as the spirochete can evade the immune response and remain dormant in the human host for long periods. Lyme disease may lead to different symptoms at different times. If it lands in the peripheral or central nervous system, it can cause meningitis, confusion, memory loss, burning or stabbing pains, shooting pains, numbness/tingling, and/or weakness.Ī digitally colored image of a tick's mouth. If it lands in the heart, it can cause disturbances in cardiac conduction - arrhythmias or even complete heart block cardiac Lyme disease can lead to death if not detected and treated early. If it lands in a joint, it can cause arthritis. Next it may travel through the blood stream, landing at different organs. First, it is lodged in the skin where it may cause a characteristic red round or oval enlarging rash. The "disease" is caused by the inflammatory response to the spirochete. The spirochete that causes Lyme disease might stay localized to the skin or it might rapidly spread throughout the body after the initial tick bite. Lyme disease has now been reported in more than 80 countries. The European neurologic diseases might lead to shooting pains, facial palsy and/or meningitis, much like what one sees with Lyme disease in the United States. When the cause - a spiral shaped microbe transmitted by Ixodes ticks - was identified in the early 1980s by Willy Burgdorferer, it then became clear that certain neurologic diseases in Europe (Bannwarth's Syndrome, Garin-Bujadoux Syndrome) were also caused by a very similar Borrelia organism. First described in the United States in the 1970s, it was actually reported in Europe long before. Lyme disease is an illness caused by a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi. ![]() ![]() The first step is an optimized version of masking to isolate the odd / even bits, shifting to line them up, and adding. How this SWAR bithack works: i = i - ((i > 1) & 0x55555555) for bithack basics, like how subtracting 1 flips contiguous zeros.It doesn't get any faster with "simple" inputs, but it's still pretty decent.) (Its performance is not data-dependent on normal CPUs where all integer operations including multiply are constant-time.

GCC10 and clang 10.0 can recognize this pattern / idiom and compile it to a hardware popcnt or equivalent instruction when available, giving you the best of both worlds. I have expressed this in a C-like pseudo language, you may need to adjust it to work for a particular language (e.g. I believe a very good general purpose algorithm is the following, known as 'parallel' or 'variable-precision SWAR algorithm'. clearing the lowest set with a bithack in a loop until it becomes zero. If you know that your bytes will be mostly 0's or mostly 1's then there are efficient algorithms for these scenarios, e.g. (Look up each byte separately to keep the table small.) If you want popcount for a contiguous range of numbers, only the low byte is changing for groups of 256 numbers, making this very good. However it can suffer because of the expense of a 'cache miss', where the CPU has to fetch some of the table from main memory. Portable algorithms that don't need (or benefit from) any HW supportĪ pre-populated table lookup method can be very fast if your CPU has a large cache and you are doing lots of these operations in a tight loop. C) might not expose any portable function that could use a CPU-specific popcount when there is one. But your compiler's choice of fallback for target CPUs that don't have hardware popcnt might not be optimal for your use-case. C++20 std::popcount(), or C++ std::bitset::count(), as a portable way to access builtin / intrinsic functions (see another answer on this question). Your compiler may know how to do something that's good for the specific CPU you're compiling for, e.g. The 'best' algorithm really depends on which CPU you are on and what your usage pattern is. Some other architectures may have a slow instruction implemented with a microcoded loop that tests a bit per cycle ( citation needed - hardware popcount is normally fast if it exists at all.). Instructions like x86's popcnt (on CPUs where it's supported) will almost certainly be fastest for a single integer. Some CPUs have a single built-in instruction to do it and others have parallel instructions which act on bit vectors. This is known as the ' Hamming Weight', 'popcount' or 'sideways addition'. ![]() ![]() This is available to all the packages, although Premier includes quite a few of them.

![]() ![]() Additionally, there are unresolved legal and ethical issues surrounding geoengineering. Such methods could work, in principle, but many climate scientists oppose undertaking geoengineering until we have a much better understanding of the possible side effects. Other proposals involve seeding the oceans with iron to stimulate large-scale phytoplankton blooms, thereby drawing down carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Images courtesy .Īlternative methods to slow or reduce global warming have been proposed that are, collectively, known as "climate engineering" or "geoengineering." Some geoengineering proposals involve cooling Earth's surface by injecting reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to scatter and reflect sunlight back to space. Transitioning to energy sources that do not emit greenhouse gases, such as solar, wind, biofuels, and nuclear, can slow the pace of climate change, though these energy sources face hurdles ranging from manufacturing capacity to debates about where to install some facilities. The report says, "Meeting internationally discussed targets for limiting atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and associated increases in global average temperatures will require a major departure from business as usual in how the world uses and produces energy." Relevant to this question, the NAS report titled Limiting the Magnitude of Future Climate Change explains policies that could be adopted to slow or even reverse global warming. National Academy of Sciences published a series of peer-reviewed reports, titled America's Climate Choices, to provide authoritative analyses to inform and guide responses to climate change across the nation. It’s true that without dramatic action in the next couple of decades, we are unlikely to keep global warming in this century below 2.7° Fahrenheit (1.5° Celsius) compared to pre-industrial temperatures-a threshold that experts say offers a lower risk of serious negative impacts. But the more we overshoot that threshold, the more serious and widespread the negative impacts will be, which means that it is never “too late” to take action. The changes in areas covered with the gray shading were not statistically significant. Some areas lost heat (blue), but overall, the ocean gained more heat than it lost.
