He rebelled against the artificial and harmful separation between the intellectuals and the workers there, and refused to only teach “general knowledge” to the workers as he was told to not “mix in their affairs or go among the masses.” At 19, Dzerzhinsky left school to go among the masses and to learn from them: “I did this by attending social evenings, visiting the taverns and all the places where workers congregated.” From here he became an agitator and propagandist in Vilnius, Lithuania, and later in Warsaw. At the young age of 17, he dedicated himself to the cause of the proletariat and joined the Lithuanian Social-Democratic Party. Look to Comrade Dzerzhinsky, and find a bright burning flame reflected in your eyes.ĭzerzhinsky was among the most stalwart of revolutionaries to emerge in the storm of the Great October Socialist Revolution. Look to his Prison Diary and Letters, and find sustenance there to continue the fight with proletarian resolution and without self-indulgent rest.

Metallica appeared second and played ten songs at the sold-out show at New York City's Roseland Ballroom on August 3, 1984. Metallica rehearsed the album's material at Mercyful Fate's practice room in Copenhagen. Rasmussen listened to Metallica's tapes before the members arrived and thought the band had great potential. Rasmussen, who had not heard of Metallica, agreed to work on the album, even though his studio employees questioned the band's talent. Drummer Lars Ulrich chose Rasmussen, because he liked his work on Rainbow's Difficult to Cure (1981) and was keen to record in Europe. The album was produced by Flemming Rasmussen, the founder of Sweet Silence Studios. Metallica started recording on February 20, 1984, at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark. ![]() ![]() Hetfield gradually built confidence as lead vocalist and kept his original role. Frontman James Hetfield felt uneasy about performing double duty on vocals and rhythm guitar, so the band offered the job to Armored Saint singer John Bush, who turned down the offer because Armored Saint was doing well at the time. When not gigging, the band stayed in a rented house in El Cerrito, California, called the Metallica Mansion. An incident occurred when part of Metallica's gear was stolen in Boston, and Anthrax lent Metallica some of its equipment to complete the remaining dates. Because the band had little money, its members often ate one meal a day and stayed at fans' homes while playing at clubs across the United States. After finishing its promotional tour, Metallica began composing new material, and from September, began performing the songs that were to make up Ride the Lightning at concerts. The album helped to establish thrash metal, a heavy metal subgenre defined by its brisk riffs and intense percussion. Metallica released its debut album, Kill 'Em All, on the independent label Megaforce Records on July 25, 1983. Many rock publications have ranked Ride the Lightning on their best album lists, saying it had a lasting impact on the genre. It was certified 6× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2012 for shipping six million copies in the United States. Although 75,000 copies were initially pressed for the American market, the album sold half a million by November 1987. Ride the Lightning peaked at number 100 on the Billboard 200 with virtually no radio exposure. Two months after its release, Elektra Records signed Metallica to a multi-year deal and reissued the album. The band performed at major music festivals such as Monsters of Rock and Day on the Green later that year. Metallica promoted the album on the Bang That Head That Doesn't Bang European tour in late 1984, and on its North American leg in the first half of 1985. Ride the Lightning received a positive response from music critics, who saw it as a more ambitious effort than its predecessor. ![]() It is the last album to feature songwriting contributions from former lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, and the first to feature contributions from successor Kirk Hammett. The overall recording costs were paid by Metallica's European label Music for Nations because Megaforce was unable to cover it. Beyond the fast tempos of its debut Kill 'Em All, Metallica broadened its approach by employing acoustic guitars, extended instrumentals, and more complex harmonies. Bassist Cliff Burton introduced the basics of music theory to the band and had more input in the songwriting. The title was taken from a passage in Stephen King's novel The Stand, in which a character uses the phrase to refer to execution by electric chair.Īlthough rooted in the thrash metal genre, the album showcased the band's musical growth and lyrical sophistication. The artwork, based on a concept by the band, depicts an electric chair being struck by lightning flowing from the band logo. The album was recorded in three weeks with producer Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark. Ride the Lightning is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on July 27, 1984, by the independent record label Megaforce Records. To appreciate how SOF are “special,” one must understand how these forces are organized and how they operate. Yet SOF are often entrusted to perform missions that exceed the authority given to conventional military units, such as operating in “politically sensitive environments” or executing tasks that require special legal authorities. ![]() There are some who claim that conventional forces can and do handle tasks that SOF handle. The Department of Defense defines Special Operations (SO) as operations that: Require unique modes of employment, tactical techniques, equipment, and training often conducted in hostile, denied, or politically sensitive environments and characterized by one or more of the following: time sensitive, clandestine, low visibility, conducted with and/or through indigenous forces, requiring regional expertise, and/or a high degree of risk. These SOF are seen as the consummate military professionals and as such are “detached from Main Street” in ways that the 18–22- year-olds in the general-purpose forces are not. SOF can and do operate with a small footprint and can survive and thrive with a very light support tail. They are valued for their out-of-the-box thinking, imagination, and initiative. SOF competently operate a great deal of highly advanced U.S military equipment and are also proficient with the equipment of other services and countries. A typical special operator (regardless of service or specialty) is married with a family averages 29–34 years old has at least eight years on active duty in the general purpose forces (GPF) has some cultural and language training (most are masters of cross-cultural communication) has attended numerous advanced-skills schools and has at least some college education, if not multiple degrees (this includes the enlisted ranks). They are, for the most part, mature and highly trained. First and foremost, SOF are the men and women that make up the units. It includes certain designated units of all services and all capabilities. The term “Special Operations Forces (SOF)” is the only correct generic term for the organizations being discussed. military, SOF can mitigate risk by helping to set the operating environment in the most advantageous manner possible. ![]() Although they are not a substitute for other capabilities in the U.S. SOF will be a key part of America’s ability to meet the challenges of an increasingly worrisome threat environment while its conventional forces are in decline.
![]() Young shoebills practice this noise as well a “hiccup-like” call for food. In order to facilitate binocular vision, shoebill storks hold their heads and bills vertically downward against the breast.Ĭommunication: Shoebills are usually silent, but will participate in the behavior that is characteristic of many storks - “bill-clattering” which seems to be used as a nest greeting. Senses: Vision and hearing are used when foraging. They will also eat immature monitor lizards and crocodiles, frogs, water snakes, rodents and even small birds on occasion. The preferred prey includes lungfish, talipia, birchirs and catfish. The water and vegetation are removed by manipulating the mandible side to side and the fish is decapitated by the sharp edges of the bill. The fish, along with a large amount of water and vegetation, is engulfed in the large bill. Favorite foraging spots include waters low in oxygen, where fish must surface more often. With its head down, using binocular vision, the bird will either stand and wait or walk slowly in the shallow water, often surrounded by grasses and papyrus. They can be found roosting in trees, but are usually commonly found on the ground near water.ĭiet: Shoebills spend the majority of their day fishing. However in some regions, they can be found moving seasonally between feeding and nesting zones. Food permitting, shoebills are non-migratory. They are somewhat reluctant to fly, but can be seen soaring on thermals over their territory. They have powerful wings which allow them to take off almost vertically. Even breeding pairs will feedĪt opposite ends of their territory. Shoebills tend to be solitary, silent birds. Partially nocturnal, it tends to be sluggish but is also a strong flyer and soarer. Wings are occasionally held aloft during hunting to assist in balance while the bird walks across unstable matted vegetation. A reinforced beak and skull act as a shock absorber during these violent thrusts. The bird flaps forward and plunges its enormous bill down simultaneously. The “collapse” is unexpectedly swift, generally lasting less than a second and is performed with immense power. Males are slightly larger than females and have longer bills.īehavior: Shoebills feed mainly by ambush, standing motionless for long periods of time before “collapsing” on the prey in a manner unique for a large fish-eating bird. ![]() Size: The Shoebill stork stands 3.5 – 5 feet (1.07 – 1.5 m) tall weigh an average of 12.3 pounds (5.6 kg) have an average wingspan of 7.7 feet (2.33 m). The legs are skinny and long, like the legs of most wading birds feet are unwebbed. ![]() Males and females have similar coloration with small crest or white tufts sticking out from the back of the head. It has yellow eyes and extremely long toes. The head is large in proportion to the body, and the many-colored bill is wide and thick, The hooked bill is 8 – 12 inches (20 – 25 cm) long, 4 – 5 inches (10 – 13 cm) wide and has cutting edges. Description: Being entirely gray the Shoebill is easily recognized, even without its most distinguishable feature which gives it its name – a bill that resembles a hook-tipped Dutch clog.

It took me about 50 hours to beat this game. Also to those, who don't like final fantasy, I can recommend this game. So I can recommend this game to everyone who enjoys a nice anime-like story and the "item-collecting" thing. ![]() So if you don't like animes or rather stories in games, you won't like the game. The main point of the game is of course the story/characters: There are many story scenes, which are long sometimes, too. Well, it won't really bother you if you enjoy the item-synthesis and the story. The gameplay of the game is actually quite repetitive: You do some quests, you search for items, you synthesis items, again and again. So, to me, the "night"-mode was quite senseless and annoying. So either you return to home and visit the world again or. While the boss fights are interesting and can be quite hard, too, the regular fights with the monsters with the world can be quite boring/annoying.Īnother annoying thing is that the monsters get double as strong at night. The fight-system is round-based and some specialities like variable strike (consecutive triple attack with vayne in the end, deals high damage). Instead you have to synthesis new items, which unlock new abilities (and higher stats) for the characters. The overall mood in the game is a happy, funny one, but to the end, as the story progresses, it gets more serious. ![]() The main characters are done quite well and detailed and by doing character quests in the free time you get to know them even more. Well, the story is about Vayne, a boy with amnesia, who is called to study at the Al-Revis alchemy school where he meets many new and slowly uncovers his past.

![]() It also is often used in the evaluation of abnormal menstrual bleeding, to determine if polyps or fibroids may be the cause.Ī very thin catheter (a flexible tube) that has a very small balloon on its end is inserted into the cervical canal and the balloon is inflated with approximately one-half teaspoon of air to block the canal. It is commonly performed before a planned cycle of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to exclude abnormalities that might interfere with embryo implantation. SonohystogramĪ sonohysterogram, also called a saline sonogram, is a method for evaluating the inside of the uterus and to detect abnormalities, such as polyps, fibroids (common benign tumors of the uterine wall) or intrauterine adhesions or scar, any of which may impair fertility or increase risk for pregnancy loss or complications. This method is a good predictor of how well a patient will respond to treatment with fertility drugs, so it is often performed just before treatment begins as a prognostic indicator and to help in decisions about how much medication should be used. Because the number of follicles that begin to grow each cycle decreases as the overall number of follicles remaining in the ovaries declines, a low antral follicle count is a sign of a low ovarian reserve. Transvaginal ultrasound is performed early in the menstrual cycle (cycle day 1-4) to count the number of small follicles in the ovaries. An elevated FSH or estrogen level on cycle day 3 is, therefore, a sign of a low ovarian reserve, but a change that occurs later in reproductive aging than the decrease in the antimullerian hormone (AMH) level.Īn antral follicle count is a third method for measuring ovarian reserve. FSH levels rise progressively with increasing reproductive aging, a change that is most clearly revealed early in the menstrual cycle. Abnormally low levels of AMH indicate a declining ovarian reserve, or an advanced stage of reproductive aging.Ī cycle day 3 FSH and estrogen level is another method for measuring ovarian reserve. The hormone is made by the follicles in the ovaries that are in the earliest stages of development the more there are, the higher the AMH level is. The AMH level is the most common method for measuring ovarian reserve. An antral follicle count obtained by transvaginal ultrasound examination.Measure of the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (estradiol) levels in the blood on cycle day 3.Measure of the antimullerian hormone (AMH) level in the blood.There are three different methods for evaluation of ovarian reserve: ![]() Ovarian reserve is the term used to describe the size of the remaining egg supply and is an important part of the infertility evaluation.
