Therefore, we won’t neglect 4G in this article and discuss both 4G and 5G coverage. That’s why 4G network coverage and quality is still very important when it comes to choosing a mobile carrier. ![]() Not everyone has 5G phones and even if they did, the infrastructures for 5G are still being built. Even if the world is preparing to transition to 5G networks, 4G is still the most widespread network across America. So, how should we consider these three factors? Should we just jump to whichever carrier includes high-speed 5G networks? Not necessarily. That includes HD video streaming for all you Netflix and YouTube lovers out there. Most people say that 40 Mbps and above is the sweet spot for choosing a carrier because it can handle most network-heavy tasks. Having a high score in these three things will most likely boost your internet browsing experience. ![]() So, what is the difference between the three carriers’ coverage? Let’s find out.Ĭoverage, Availability, & Speeds © Photo by Toni Marinov on Alamy Stock PhotoĬoverage, availability, and speed are some of the most important factors in choosing a mobile carrier.

Located in the transition zone between North America's humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) and humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa) zones, Abilene experiences hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters. Īccording to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 4.68 square miles (12.12 km 2), all of it land. Located in North Central Kansas at the intersection of Interstate 70 and K-15, Abilene is approximately 27 mi (43 km) east of Salina, Kansas, 94 mi (151 km) north of Wichita, and 139 mi (224 km) west of Kansas City. ![]() Mud Creek, a tributary of the Smoky Hill, flows south through the city.

Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum is the burial site of President Eisenhower, his wife, Mamie, and their first-born son Doud Dwight. Eisenhower attended elementary school through high school in Abilene, graduating in 1909. Eisenhower when his family moved to Abilene from Denison, Texas in 1892.

Most locals still refer to this railroad as the Santa Fe. In 1996, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway merged with Burlington Northern Railroad and renamed to the current BNSF Railway. In 1887, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway built a branch line from Neva (3 miles (4.8 km) west of Strong City) through Abilene to Superior, Nebraska. A marker outside credits the name of the town being given by opening a Bible and using the first place name pointed to. The Hersey dugout can still be seen in the cellar. Lebold was one of the early town developers and bankers from 1869 through 1889. In 1880, Conrad Lebold built the Lebold Mansion. Hickok lost his job two months later in December. But Hickok then accidentally shot his friend and deputy, Mike Williams, who was coming to his aid. While the marshal was standing off a crowd during a street brawl, gambler Phil Coe took two shots at Hickok, who returned fire, killing Coe. He was replaced by Wild Bill Hickok in April 1871. Smith wounded 1 of his 2 attackers during the shootout preceding his death, and both suspects received life in prison for the offense. However, he was murdered and decapitated on November 2, 1870. He survived 2 assassination attempts during his tenure. Town marshal Tom "Bear River" Smith was initially successful policing Abilene, often using only his bare hands. As railroads were built further south, the end of the Chisholm Trail was slowly moved south toward Caldwell, while Kansas homesteaders concerned with cattle ruining their farm crops moved the trail west toward and past Ellsworth. Another source reports 440,200 head of cattle were shipped out of Abilene from 1867 to 1871. In 1871, more than 5,000 cowboys herded from 600,000 to 700,000 cows to Abilene and other Kansas railheads. The stockyards shipped 35,000 head in 1867 and became the largest stockyards west of Kansas City, Kansas. From 1867 to 1871, the Chisholm Trail ended in Abilene, bringing in many travelers and making Abilene one of the wildest towns in the west. McCoy encouraged Texas cattlemen to drive their herds to his stockyards. The town grew quickly and became the first "cow town" of the west. The first twenty carloads left September 5, 1867, en route to Chicago, Illinois, where McCoy was familiar with the market. The Kansas Pacific put in a spur line at Abilene that enabled the cattle cars to be loaded and sent on to their destinations. McCoy purchased 250 acres of land north and east of Abilene, on which he built a hotel, the Drover's Cottage, stockyards equipped for 2,000 heads of cattle, and a stable for their horses. In 1867, the Kansas Pacific Railway ( Union Pacific) pushed westward through Abilene. It was not until 1860 that it was named Abilene, from a passage in the Bible ( Luke 3:1), meaning "grassy plains". ![]() In 1857, Dickinson County was founded and Abilene began as a stage coach stop, established by Timothy Hersey and named Mud Creek. In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. In 1803, most of modern Kansas was secured by the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase.

So there is progression and resolution in the poem. The first sets the context, the second deepens the dilemma and introduces the resolution, the third explains what the poet is seeking and the fourth brings the poet to his eternal destiny. The poem is made up of four stanzas, each of 8 lines. Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder singĪnd therefore I have sailed the seas and comeĬome from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,īut such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make ![]() The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,įish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long In one another’s arms, birds in the trees, So Yeats advises going to a place where contemplation and reflection on timeless wisdom are possible, and, for him, this is symbolised by sailing to Byzantium, to live with sages and priests, wise men who will welcome him. The everyday hustle, bustle, energy and commerce of life in one of western Europe’s big cities, I guess Dublin in Yeats’s case, is no place for an old man, who has no more need to earn a living or raise a family, and indeed it is easy for the old to be marginalised. ![]() But it also sets the tone for the rest of this poem and explains the title and conclusion of the poem. You have a good blog.The first line of Yeats’ poem, Sailing to Byzantium will be familiar to movie fans as the title of a very fine, and very violent movie that came out a few years ago, No Country for Old Men. Several of my poems have been featured in Belle Reve Literary Journal, for anyone who might be interested. My make-love stuff’s lonely, my fancy girl stuff’s onlyīeggar maid, angry fragments of heart in handĭance in glee, happiest ever after, just me They’ll be ruttin’ a corpse, throat ‘n a rope No God in No-Girl’s Land nohow! Mine rise, Wow, Wow, Wow It should be obvious that she is best friends with Alice of Wonderland (her only friend).īut No-Girl’s Land’s no dream, in nightmares I scream I didn’t include the poem in the book for reasons still unclear to me but this Yeats poem forced it back into my memory. Living in terrible conditions, she created the following poem, threw it into the ocean believing that, somehow, if justice still existed, it would eventually bring him to her. Holly Pleasance, the heroine of my novel, when 14, imagined a future with a virtual lover. However, I would never want to lose them and some part of me envies the girl who wrote them.Īs always with Yeats, the language is exquisitely lyrical - especially those final two lines, I just love: “Set all her blood astir/ And glittered in her eyes”. Whenever I read over the poems I wrote as a teenager, many of them do make me cringe at my earnestness and naivety. There is the idea here that though youth can be naive and sometimes really cringe-worthy, it is something nevertheless precious and pure. It was a comfort to hear in this poem that he valued the “wild” spirit of youth and that idealism, because there is obvious disapproval of the older woman (“she broke heart for her”) and “denies/ And has forgot”. There was something very comforting in this poem for my teenage self, to feel that someone as erudite and successful (the absolute pinnacle of what success meant to me at the time) as Yeats could speak in this way to a young girl. When I was a teenager, I was more besotted with Yeats, Keats and the Bronte sisters than any of the spotty, obnoxious boys in my class! It is only for this reason, I think, that for me this poem was more about a young girl’s wild, Romantic, idealist ambitions fancying herself as a poet, rather than any romantic (with a small ‘r’) ideals of love. I love the way that this wise, worldly voice tells the young girl that he understands “What makes heart beat so” - her Romantic ideas - her naivety? - and that though most adults might have forgotten how they were themselves in youth, he has never forgotten. ![]() I first read To a young girl when I was a teenager, and it felt to me at the time that Yeats was speaking directly to me, and that he understood me I remember that feeling distinctly.įor me, this poem is the voice of the older, male poet to a young girl full of Romantic notions. I tend to prefer Yeats’ earlier work because I am more drawn to Romantic poetry than I am political poetry. It is from Yeats’ 1919 collection, The Wild Swans at Coole, which is amazing, and which contains most of my favourite of his works. ![]() It is important that only recyclable items are placed in recycling bins.

![]() Chibiusa's hair is apparently truly pink, and not just colored that way for stylistic purposes its color is stated in the manga's first Picture Diary and in the poem about her in the Sailor Stars CD single. She is known for having pink hair put into a unique style that resembles rabbit ears on top of her head. Her name in several English-language versions of Sailor Moon, Rini, is a diminutive of "Serena", the name of her mother. Besides that Mamoru wanted her to take Usagi’s name rather than his own, as he had absolutely no attachment to his surname. Silver Millennium was a matriarchy, which is why Chibiusa has Tsukino as her surname rather than Chiba. Her real name is the same as her mother's, but is called Chibiusa in Japanese to avoid confusion between the two. She is the daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion. Profile Īuthor Naoko Takeuchi describes Chibiusa as a precocious person who likes pulling pranks. ![]() Takeuchi also noted that the leg-slit on Black Lady's dress was even more revealing in the anime than in the manga, something which shocked her as she had wondered if the slit was going too far in her drawings of Black Lady. ![]() Takeuchi struggled with a name for Black Lady, initially calling her "the Black Queen" and retaining her childlike appearance. She calls herself "Sailor Chibiusa Moon" and appears in a uniform slightly different from the one she wears later, most notably including a cape. In the first Picture Diary, Chibiusa is rescued by Sailors Moon and Venus and dreams that night about becoming a "soldier of love and justice" herself. The first appearance of Chibiusa as a Sailor Guardian is in a side story, a year and a half before Sailor Chibi Moon made her debut in the manga. ![]() Takeuchi has stated that she did not think much about how Chibiusa's hair would look, besides it having odango like Usagi's hair and being pink and that she used a Chibiusa doll for reference on the hair. The nickname is a combination of chibi (meaning 'small person' or 'small child') and her given name, Usagi.Īdding in Usagi's child to the Sailor Moon storyline, as well as her name, Chibiusa for a chibi (little) Usagi, was the idea of Naoko Takeuchi's editor, Fumio Osano. She is given her nickname to differentiate from the older Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon). She is adopted as a member of her mother's family, using the alias Usagi Tsukino, in the 20th century. She later returns, a few years older, in order to train as a Sailor Guardian herself- Sailor Chibi Moon ( セーラーちびムーン, Sērā Chibi Mūn), translated as "Sailor Mini Moon" in the DIC and Cloverway English adaptations.Ĭhibiusa's birth name and official title is Princess Usagi Small Lady Serenity ( プリンセス・うさぎ S ( スモール ) L ( レディ )セレニティ, Purinsesu Usagi Sumōru Redi Sereniti). She is a small child from the 30th century who time travels to the past to seek help from the Sailor Guardians. She is introduced in Chapter 14, "Conclusion and Commencement, Petite Étrangere", first published in Nakayoshi on July 6, 1993. Chibiusa ( ちびうさ, Chibiusa or Chibi-Usa, renamed Rini in the DiC and Cloverway English adaptations) is one of the main characters from the Sailor Moon manga series created by Naoko Takeuchi.

If the player shoots an opponent trapped in the bubble, its power amplifies, and the bullets will kill the enemy when the bubble vanishes after a short period of time. "Time Stop" freezes time around enemies with a time bubble. He also possesses several types of time manipulating powers. Jack can find four types of firearms: pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, and carbine rifles. To defeat enemies, players can make use of various offensive and defensive abilities. Different enemies have different behaviors, and the game requires players to deploy different tactics and strategies in order to defeat them. Players face a variety of enemies, including Monarch security guards Strikers, who are equipped with specially-designed suits which allow them to manipulate time and Juggernauts, heavily armored enemies equipped with very strong firearms. Players play as Jack Joyce, who has time manipulation powers in a world where time stutters, making everything freeze except Joyce. Quantum Break is an action-adventure video game played from a third-person perspective. Gameplay In this screenshot, the player character is using Time Stop to defeat enemies. ![]() Quantum Break was the best-selling new intellectual property published by Microsoft since the launch of Xbox One, though the record was broken two years later by Sea of Thieves. The Windows 10 version was criticized for its technical issues. Critics had mixed opinions regarding the platforming elements, the convergence of video game and television, and the overall quality of the TV show. It received a positive reception, with critics praising the game's graphics, gameplay, presentation, performances, and story. The game was announced in mid-2013 and was set to release in 2015, but its release was delayed to avoid competition with other Xbox One exclusives. The game uses a new engine developed by Remedy, the Northlight engine, and a technology called Digital Molecular Matter. Alongside Ashmore, the game features actors Aidan Gillen and Lance Reddick, that portrayed important roles in the game. While the video game portion was developed internally by Remedy and directed by studio veteran Sam Lake, the TV side of the game was produced in collaboration with Lifeboat Productions and directed by Ben Ketai. The team consulted scientists while creating the fictional science in this game. The game's focus was shifted to time travel, as Microsoft wanted a new intellectual property with interactive storytelling. ![]() The game originally was envisioned as a sequel to Remedy's previous game, Alan Wake. The characters interact with the player's choices, displaying the results of the decisions made. ![]() The game features episodes of an integrated live-action television show, featuring the actors of the characters. There are also "junction points" that affect the game's outcome. In addition, the game includes platform game elements in less action-oriented segments. The game centers on Jack Joyce ( Shawn Ashmore), granted time manipulation powers after a failed time-machine experiment, as he comes into conflict with former friend Paul Serene over how to deal with an apocalyptic "End of Time". Quantum Break is a 2016 action-adventure third-person shooter video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios for Windows and Xbox One. ![]() ![]() Luckily, the bulk of the single-player campaign focuses on spot-on jumps and not enemy cat combat.īattleBlock Theater’s wildly inventive stage design is undoubtedly its greatest draw. With no real attack priority, combat rapidly devolves into random button-mashing. You can dispatch enemies (or fellow players in multiplayer) with simple punches, kicks, and special attacks, but it lacks the precision found in the jumping. The simple hand-to-hand combat system is more disappointing. Movement is a little stiffer, the physics a little less intuitive. ![]() But BattleBlock Theater’s moment-to-moment movement doesn’t compare favorably to recent 2D platforming greats like Super Meat Boy. Everything feels snappy and responsive, and I rarely felt like the controls betrayed me and caused my death, even in the hairiest segments. You command your customizable prisoner with standard platforming controls – jump, double-jump, wall-jump… nothing out of the ordinary. The narrator promises “sandpaper kisses” for doing well. Balls of yarn hidden in each stage can be redeemed in a prison black market for power-ups. The Behemoth fully commits to the premise and has a ton of fun with it. When your ship full of friends (BBT makes sure to point out that this is a true "friend ship," har har) crashes onto an island jail run by intelligent cat guards, your only choice is to platform through 80+ levels for their feline amusement. Between-world cutscenes in most platformers are good opportunities to get up and grab a snack. The writing mixes poop jokes with pop-culture references, punctuated by higher-brow, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it self-referential humor. Battleblock Theater brings this humor to the forefront, and it successfully permeates the entire experience – from the narrator’s manic opening monologue to the multiple songs that play over the end credits. All Behemoth games have featured laughs, usually in the form of sight-gags and others jokes lurking beneath the surface. ![]() If you lost the key, picking tools is the best option. Note that hammering the lock is best only for u lock, not cable locks, since we aim to break it. In reality, the air spray and the hammering will disentangle the shackle from the lock. Remember to keep your fingers out of the way to avoid nasty accidents.Įxpect that the Kryptonite will not actually break. Hold the lock tightly in place and hammer down against the keyhole. Now that the metal is weakened, you can break a bike lock with a hammer. It is best if you spray only the spline, which is the part that connects the shackle with the lock. Spray continuously until the can is empty for higher effectiveness.Įnsure you only hit one spot and do not spray the whole u lock because it might be ineffective. Hold the can upside down and position the nozzle directly at the lock. ![]() Thus, it can be your last resort to open Kryptonite lock without a key. The cool temperatures from air spray can weaken U locks enough that you can easily break them with a hammer. Unconventional Methods For Opening Kryptonite Bike Locks Method 1: Breaking The Lock For a jammed lock, spray the WD-40 on the keyhole. Now that you know the difference between a stuck or jammed Kryptonite, you can apply lubricant to the affected area. This impairs the key to aligning the discs inside the lock, thus making it impossible to open. If the key won’t budge, it’s best to refrain from exerting force.Ī jammed lock is usually caused by the debris build-up inside the keyhole. Usually, a key will not turn 180 degrees if the lock is jammed. Like the first problem, we should insert a key to determine if the lock is jammed. This should solve the problem.Ĭheck this guide to know how to apply a lubricant properly! Problem #2: Kryptonite Lock Jammed. If you’re lucky enough to detect this issue right within your house, let the lock soak in lubricant overnight (or 7-8 hours). If you feel the crossbar is still stuck, try to spray more lubricant and wait a few more minutes. To solve the stuck, you must apply a lubricant like WD-40, which is an excellent choice because it can also effectively wash out debris.Įnsure you apply the WD-40 lubricant to the section that connects the crossbar and the lock located just between the two parts. Usually, it is caused by excessive debris or corrosion.īy knowing this, we can determine which part of the lock we should apply lubricant. If you can turn the key 180 degrees and it won’t still open, the crossbar is probably stuck with the lock.įrom this, we can deduce that the problem with the Kryptonite bike lock is on the crossbar. If not, the lock must be jammed we will discuss this in the next part. How would we know if the bike lock is stuck and how to solve it?Ĭheck if you can turn the lock to 180 degrees with key. Below are the most common issues and how to address them. We must first learn to determine the problem to find the best possible solutions to open a Kryptonite bike lock.
