The storm blew out hundreds of windows and caused damage so extensive that doctors had to abandon the hospital soon after the twister passed. Six people died there, five of them patients, plus one visitor. John's Regional Medical Center, where staff had only moments to hustle their patients into the hallway. Some of the most startling damage was at St. At times, it was three-quarters of a mile wide. Hayes said the storm had winds of 190 to 198 mph. National Weather Service Director Jack Hayes said the storm was given a preliminary label as an EF4 - the second-highest rating assigned to twisters based on the damage they cause. The groups went door to door, making quick checks of property that in many places had been stripped to their foundations or had walls collapse. Teams of searchers fanned out in waves across several square miles. Fires, gas fumes and unstable buildings posed constant threats. Rescue crews had to move gingerly around downed power lines and jagged chunks of debris as they hunted for victims and hoped for survivors. "By the time we tried to get under the house, it already went over us."Īs rescuers toiled in the debris, a strong thunderstorm lashed the crippled city. "Five minutes later, the second warning went off," he said. Larry Bruffy said he heard the first warning but looked out from his garage and saw nothing. While many residents had up to 17 minutes of warning, rain and hail may have drowned out the sirens. Seventeen people were pulled alive from the rubble. But he said: "Clearly, it's on its way up." Jay Nixon told The Associated Press he did not want to guess how high the death toll would eventually climb. That storm also killed 116, according to the National Weather Service.Īuthorities were prepared to find more bodies in the rubble throughout this gritty, blue-collar town of 50,000 people about 160 miles south of Kansas City. Not since a June 1953 tornado in Flint, Mich., had a single twister been so deadly. Unlike the multiple storms that killed more than 300 people last month across the South, Joplin was smashed by just one exceptionally powerful tornado. "I've never seen such devastation - just block upon block upon block of homes just completely gone," said former state legislator Gary Burton who showed up to help at a volunteer center at Missouri Southern State University. Fires from gas leaks burned across town, and more violent weather loomed, including the threat of hail, high winds and even more tornadoes.Īt daybreak, the city's south side emerged from darkness as a barren, smoky wasteland. It was the nation's deadliest single twister in nearly 60 years and the second major tornado disaster in less than a month.Īuthorities feared the toll could rise as the full scope of the destruction comes into view: house after house reduced to slabs, cars crushed like soda cans, shaken residents roaming streets in search of missing family members. Rescue crews dug through piles of splintered houses and crushed cars Monday in a search for victims of a half-mile-wide tornado that killed at least 116 people when it blasted much of this Missouri town off the map and slammed straight into its hospital. A large tornado moved through much of the city Sunday, damaging a hospital and hundreds of homes and businesses and killing at least 116 people. Anita Stokes on Monday surveys her home that was destroyed by a tornado in Joplin, Mo.

Zack snyder green lantern john stewart8/12/2023 More importantly, Hal Jordan and John Stewart - arguably the two most popular Green Lanterns - are missing from the show’s lineup of characters…which is suspicious. This show could take place in its own universe or tie-in with the Arrowverse or the other DC offerings on HBO Max. But it’s unclear at the moment whether this show is supposed to even take place in the DCEU, especially with the team responsible for much of WB’s current slate of DC TV behind it. Instead, the studio has teamed up with Seth Grahame-Smith, Marc Guggenheim, and Greg Berlanti for a new HBO Max series that will reportedly follow Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz, and Alan Scott across several eras. The DCEU wouldn’t even have to explain why Reynolds was no longer playing Hal.īut after the DCEU’s rocky start, the planned Green Lantern Corps. A new universe meant the studio could move on from Martin Campbell’s CGI-heavy critical and financial disaster without too much hassle. After all, the DCEU was a fresh start for all of the studio’s big-name superheroes at a time when fans had already warmed up to the idea of interconnected cinematic universes. It’s a moment that would have solidified a big-screen Justice League lineup whose Green Lantern omission has long been conspicuous considering the character is a mainstay of the superhero team in the comics.Įven if it’s not Snyder behind the wheel, will fans ever get a new Green Lantern movie? Well, in the early days of the DCEU, WB had every intention of producing a new take on the character for theater audiences. After the release of the movie, Snyder revealed concept art of the Green Lantern scene on his Vero account, showing Stewart hovering above Bruce’s lakeside home, ready to offer his services in the fights to come. But that didn’t stop him from filming the Stewart cameo for Justice League anyway, which was later cut. with Man of Steel, he knew he’d never get to tell his larger Green Lantern storyline. Carr playing the role.īy the time Snyder set to work on the redux, his final contribution to the superhero cinematic universe he kicked off for Warner Bros. This Green Lantern arc would have all started with the aforementioned cameo, with actor Wayne T. joined the fight against Darkseid millennia before the events of the movie (as revealed in its action-packed prologue), Stewart would lead the modern Corps. John Stewart would have been a big part of that war. Snyder also originally planned it as the first part in a much larger saga that would see the Justice League eventually go to war with Darkseid and the demonic forces of Apokolips. Regardless of what you might think of the quality of the controversial director’s ultimate vision of the DCEU, there’s no arguing that it’s a massive superhero epic unlike any other in terms of length and scale. Not much was left on the cutting room floor for director Zack Snyder’s redux of Justice League, which has a runtime of just over four hours. While Reynolds’ turn as the cosmic protector made waves for all the wrong reasons when it released, the latest DCEU movie to flirt with a Green Lantern cameo was the talk of Twitter for what it didn’t show: John Stewart in the flesh, appearing before Bruce Wayne to set up a future team up in a Justice League sequel that will likely never happen. While this may come as a surprise to those who first watched the film in theaters in 2011, interest in a Green Lantern movie has never been stronger.ĭespite his much maligned debut on the big screen, Green Lantern remains one of the characters DC movie fans keep asking to see in the DCEU the most. It’s at #3 as of this writing, with way more viewers likely to stream it over the weekend. Movies list just two days after dropping on the streaming service. It’s a miracle akin to the ring itself: 2011’s Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, has shot up to the top of Netflix’s Top 10 U.S.

Action film sound effects8/12/2023 WICKMAN: Yeah, I think the kind of classic example is how we often still see a floppy disk as an icon for saving something, and so sometimes this is called an audio skeuomorph. Oh - skeuomorphism, the idea of, like, having a folder, right, to put your documents in - all that language on computers even though you're not touching folders or paper. It's just added to kind of emphasize the action that you're doing.ĬORNISH: I forget what that's called visually. So for example, if you take out your iPhone and you have the sound on then every time you type, you're going to hear clicking noises even though, of course, there's no actual natural sound there. But I think we can't laugh at it too much because we do see examples of reification that we interact with every day. WICKMAN: Whereas in real life, sound doesn't travel through space. So in "Star Wars," you hear a TIE fighter screaming by, and it makes this kind of whooshing, roaring noise. While reporting this, I was introduced to this term reification - when a sound is given to something that really doesn't have a sound in real life. And did they talk about other effects in movies, essentially, objects that make far different sounds than they would in real life? Though, as it's used today, it doesn't really refer directly to anything in real life.ĬORNISH: You spoke about these sound designers. It's - as the name implies - just a way to send information across large distances, and I believe that that is one of the inspirations for this noise. WICKMAN: So the sound you just played is a radio teletype noise, which has been used for all sorts of things. Navy actually took them into submarines for that movie, and they heard a bunch of noises inside of the submarine. And eventually, I just ended up calling up a bunch of the, you know, sound designers for these movies, and they all pointed me back towards "The Hunt For Red October."ĬORNISH: "The Hunt For Red October," a classic, but also involves submarines, right (laughter).ĬORNISH. WICKMAN: Yeah, I went back to some of the movies that you played in the intro here and was trying to figure out where the earliest example of it was. And I'd been hearing it all my life, but for the first time, I just thought, you know, what is that noise?ĬORNISH: So where did your investigation lead you? And it just really made me think about it. And then they kind of slowly zoomed in on a British flag, and right then it came up, you know, saying, London, comma, England. You know, they showed a shot of London, and you could see Big Ben right there and Westminster. WICKMAN: Yeah, I first noticed it while watching "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" last year, and the reason it really jumped out at me is it was one of those shots where it just wasn't necessary. When did you first notice the sound, and why did you feel compelled to follow it to the source? He joins us now to talk more about it.ĬORNISH: So we mentioned a couple films there, going back. And Forrest Wickman, who writes for Slate's culture blog, Brow Beat, wanted to know why. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "ENEMY OF THE STATE")ĬORNISH: All right, all right - you get the idea. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM")ĬORNISH: Or here, in the movie "Enemy Of The State." You can hear it here, in "The Bourne Ultimatum." Text makes a sound when it appears on screen. And then there would probably be some text - Washington, 0800 hours.ĬORNISH: Did you hear that? You might not have even noticed it because it's so common. so maybe the Capitol Building or the Lincoln Memorial. Then an establishing shot - we're in D.C. If this next interview were an action movie, we'd probably start with some ominous music.ĬORNISH.

Quip metal toothbrush8/12/2023 The gentle vibrating sensations can provide just as much pleasure as any Rabbit can. Using the non-bristled end, the vibrating handle can be laid against the space in between your labium when in the “on” position. The same vibration capabilities meant to keep teeth clean can also be used to get you off. Any capsaicin leakage could cause severe pain in those super-sensitive regions. You can also try rolling a medium-size round fruit like a plum, tomato or clementine, in a circular motion over your clit for some fruitful stimulation. Pretty much anything resembling a penis can be used for penetration: Cucumber, carrot, banana, zucchini and Japanese eggplants are all great choices. There’s a reason they use bananas to teach people how to put on a condom. Image Credit: Image: Pixabay/Design: Kenzie Mastroe/SheKnows Remember to use it over clothing or try putting your vibrating phone in a sock and using it directly on your skin to prevent infection. It’s so simple and innocent-looking and definitely isn’t going to give the power of a standard-issue sex toy. Most of these apps have various intensity levels to play around with. There are many out there like iBrate and iVibe. Is there anything an iPhone can’t do? You can turn your phone into a vibrator simply by downloading a vibration app. Image Credit: Image: Getty Images/Design: Kenzie Mastroe/SheKnows Safety first, please!Ĭheck out some of our favorite household sex toys that, if used correctly (and safely), will give you a mind-blowing orgasm and leave you impressed with your own sexual ingenuity.Ī version of this story was originally published in August 2017.

Lineage w review8/12/2023 The Monarch is the highlighted class in Lineage W. Their main job is to keep the party (especially the Tank) alive by healing them up and giving them buffs to maximize their damage output or survivability. Healers/Supports can deal damage, provide supportive buffs, and heal allies. Their primary role is to keep the party alive by soaking up all the damage. Tanks deal moderate damage, but have high defenses and Health. Their main purpose is to deal damage, so their survivability ranges from little to nothing. Most traditional MMORPGs try to pick up at least one of each role to ensure that their party has optimal damage and survivability.ĭPS refers to the classes that deal the highest amount of damage. Each class plays a different role in the party and is a critical distinction when trying out group content such as group PvP and dungeons/raids. There are three primary roles in the game which are the DPS, Tank, and Healer/Support. The first step into choosing the right class in Lineage W is determining what role you want to play. It’s best that while you’re waiting in queue right now, you spend the time reading up on which classes complement your playstyle and which classes you might regret later down the line. That can be a horrible experience not only is the leveling process dreadfully long, players will have to re-queue once again which, if you’ve already tried queueing, can take an absurdly long time to achieve. The only true way to change classes in Lineage W is to create another character completely and start from scratch. However, if you want to match your playstyle with your class, you’ll need to do some research about the different classes beforehand so that you have a general idea about what you want to play and how you’re going to move forward after choosing it. Casual players that don’t plan to do group or end game content don’t really have to take the class they play all that seriously. Note: This game is currently not compatible with BlueStacks.Ĭhoosing which class to play in Lineage W can be a tough decision if you want to maximize the content you want to play for the higher levels. |
