Cotler returned to California in 2001 and took a position teaching 9th grade at Environmental Charter High School. Her first teaching job, coincidentally, took her to a small rural Virginia school in the Blue Ridge Mountains, much like the fictional one she attended on The Waltons. I could go to Michael with more dramatic feelings and she’d be a great listener and support.Cotler significantly reduced her acting roles for many years while she attended University of California, Berkeley, earning a degree in Social Sciences. “My own Mom is amazing, but she’s very sensible and grounded. She was always warm to all of the kids,” Cotler said. “… Michael is one of the most sensitive and caring people I know.

The broad-spectrum learning from skill books was a good fit for him. For him, the movement and stealth techniques were just as important, if not more so, than the martial arts. He adapted to his circumstances, environments and enemies, using spells, direct combat, sneak attacks and skirmish tactics as he needed. Jason simply couldn’t dedicate the training time Sophie could to a selected subset of techniques. While it was an important cornerstone of his combat technique, it would never be the foundation that it was for her. He had dedicated considerable time and work into making the style imprinted on him his own and not just a series of programmed responses, but would never have Sophie’s focused mastery. Only through using skill books was Jason able to enjoy the level of proficiency he had obtained. This was his conclusion after several years of searching for remnants of the style, with dozens of subcontracted adventuring teams investigating the ruins of the fallen order. Only then, with the skills magically imprinted, could the full style be mastered. ![]() He had hypothesised that the style was originally intended to be learned through skill books. She took what she needed, discarded the rest and was the stronger for it.Įmir Bahadir had studied the style more than most outsiders to the Order of the Reaper. ![]() As she moved through iron and bronze ranks she had expanded her repertoire, continuing to make the style her own without attempting to grasp the whole. Sophie came to it through training, taking a subset of the whole and building a style perfect for herself. Sophie and Jason both practised the Way of the Reaper, but in very different ways. There weren’t enough hours in the day for the practice required not just to master but maintain that level of skill. There were too many techniques to remember without the enhanced memory of a magically-enhanced spirit attribute. Its practices dipped into gymnastics, acrobatics parkour, stealth, climbing, even sleight of hand. The myriad techniques and variations of his style went beyond martial arts. His fighting style, the Way of the Reaper, was too comprehensive to be mastered by ordinary humans. His current strength was the product of battles with monsters, anomalies and the risen dead vampires, superheroes and even other essence users. Jason had been through thousands of enemies in hundreds of fights. Despite the precision and efficiency of their hand-to-hand skill, their lack of improvisation and imagination made their attacks predictable and their defences vulnerable to Jason’s unorthodox style. He was still only beginning to use his aura feints effectively, but the minds of the clone-like anomalies turned out to be as bland as their appearance. As his aura told one story, his body told another while the truth was something else entirely. It hid his unconventional movement, which was made all the more deceitful by feints. Once he was in melee range, Jason's cloak was once again key to his defence. Jason was long past the point where even moderate injuries were a distraction. His regeneration and drain rapidly healed what damage still made it through. His cloak intercepted bullets, and while many punched through its silver-rank protection, his blood robes soaked some more of the impact. Jason was almost able to match them in speed and had a full host of powers to pit against them. Although the anomalies had gold-rank speed and strength, it was on the lower end of the scale and they lacked any exotic abilities. Once he had killed and drained enough to accelerate his speed, Jason was confident enough to engage them directly. In close, they used a martial arts style that was fast and efficient, but robotic and predictable. They fought with what looked like ordinary pistols, although they packed a gold-rank punch. Identical human men in identical black suits with sixties tailoring, they were a clone army of men in black. Just as the territory was a bland version of a human city, the anomalies were a bland version of human.

The territory was another city, but the very opposite of fantastical. ![]() The sky was bleak, grey and sunless, reflecting the architecture of the city. ![]() ![]() ![]() While the systems vary in terms of the functionality they offer, they all have an easy-to-use display made up of touchscreen tiles and ‘hard’ keys to allow for seamless switching between features.

The entire planet was reinvigorated when he decided to make another attempt. At this point, all of Kerbin was devastated by the loss of two intrepid Kerbonaut brothers. It was pure determination that motivated their other brother Jeb to take bold action. Given the recent loss of his brother, everyone at the Kerbal Space Center took this news pretty hard. They told him there was no way he could make it, but he tried anyway. Before the medical team could assess him – and against the advice of the ops team – Jeb decided to chart a course to Minmus. We really need to get that fixed… The landing must have disoriented Jeb. And just like his brother, his landing suffered the same awkward pitch jerk, bouncing off the ground. Just like his brother before him, Jeb was able to pilot his modified craft to a smooth Mun landing. The resulting fairing was a little too close for comfort on the ascent, but he felt like it was a rite of passage and left the discomfort out of his report. He liked the overall design, but he felt there should be just a little more fuel in the third stage. He would use the same craft, but he would make a few adjustments first. He hoped for the best, but…Īfter an appropriate mourning period, Jeb’s brother Jeb announced he would honor his brother’s sacrifice with another attempt. He had mistakenly dropped the Kerbin periapsis too low when leaving the Mun, and he had no fuel left to correct the mistake. The engineers warned about the possibility of some light heating on the re-entry, but Jeb got an A in ablative materials class. He had to jettison the engine to reveal the heat shield he would use to keep cool during the aerobraking maneuver. His report explicitly praised the helmet designers.Īs he left the Mun surface, he pondered his likelihood of surviving the re-entry into Kerbin’s atmosphere without any kind of enclosure. ![]() Jeb had to react quickly to prevent catastrophe. Forensic evidence from the, uh, “returned craft” would reveal the retrograde vector bounced off the ground plane and went negative. The landing was amazingly smooth … until the last moment, when there was an unexpected jerk in the pitch input. He knew he would need less energy to return to orbit if he landed at a high altitude. Dropping in around 6km, he charted a retrograde burn to settle into a nice equatorial orbit before descending into the munar highlands. The view was amazing!įrom low Kerbin orbit, Jeb aimed for a low Mun periapsis to take full advantage of the Oberth effect. It ended up being basically a motorcycle in space. Looking back, it’s pretty clear the fairing was a lot more luxurious than originally anticipated. So, the team hastily assembled the first prototype, and Jeb hopped into the cramped quarters of its command seat. It was immediately clear the optimal design would include a big first stage, deploying a tiny orbital vehicle payload to low Kerbin orbit. Everyone wanted to give Jeb at least a fighting chance of landing this thing. We even considered leaving the battery out, but quickly realized the engine gimballing alone would make it very difficult to pilot. The first iteration used just a command chair and one of each of the things Jeb needed to maintain control of the vessel. We knew every design decision would be critical to the success of the mission. There’s a lot to cover here, so let’s dive right in.Īt first, the engineers focused on landing only on Mun and returning. This story focuses on one such problem: land a single Kerbal on both moons in a single mission and return safely using the lowest budget at takeoff.

One reason for the newfound gratitude was the commitment by members of G-7 nations, including the United States, to long-term military and economic assistance for Ukraine including weapons, training and reconstruction funds.Īnd Zelenskyy said before a bilateral meeting with Biden today, when prompted by a question from POLITICO, “we have great unity from our leaders and the security guarantees - that is a success for this summit.” He called the outcomes of the summit “a significant security victory” for Ukraine while reiterating an invitation to join NATO was the preferred deliverable. Zelenskyy, however, unexpectedly reversed course on the second and final day. That enraged Ukrainian President VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY, who hours before arriving in Vilnius Tuesday blasted the language as “ unprecedented and absurd” - a broadside that threatened the unity Biden and his team hoped to exhibit in Vilnius. ![]() “We will be in a position to extend an invitation to Ukraine to join the Alliance when Allies agree and conditions are met,” the joint statement read. NATO’s communiqué removed one hurdle to Ukraine’s hoped-for membership but didn’t delineate clear accession conditions or timelines. The biggest victory of all happened before the gathering even began, when Turkey on Monday ended its year-long blockade of Sweden’s entreé into the alliance, paving the way for the military bloc to welcome its 32nd member.īut Biden’s victory lap was marred by a tense middle portion of the summit. The president’s apparent good mood and optimistic outlook came hours after a NATO summit with undeniable wins. “Keep it up, keep going,” he rallied the crowd, packed tightly into a square flanked by the university’s yellow walls.ĭuring the speech, the crowd cheered at the word “NATO.” Right at the end, they chanted “U-S-A!” With nations working together with common cause, we can answer these questions,” he said. “The choices we make now are going to shape the direction of our world for decades to come. But Biden also used the opportunity to offer a clarion call for more cooperation among nations to address challenges like climate change, poverty and economic inequality. The president’s address was a paean to NATO and the transatlantic security architecture he has toiled to strengthen since well before the invasion began. ![]() Before the president walked on stage, a group could be heard chanting Slava Ukraini (glory to Ukraine). Our unity will not falter, I promise you,” he told a crowd of 10,000 American- and Ukraine-flag-toting onlookers who gathered at Vilnius University. “The defense of freedom is not the work of a day or a year. He pushed for the protection and promotion of global democracy not just in Ukraine against VLADIMIR PUTIN’s Russia, but also well into the future to keep dictators and other global threats at bay. Standing in the heart of a capital of a former Soviet republic, Biden boasted that democracies who champion freedom against authoritarianism’s creep have held strong, even in the face of the largest land war in Europe since World War II. He used his last moments here to rally NATO allies and the world’s democracies to stick together as Russia’s war on Ukraine extends beyond 500 days. ![]() VILNIUS, Lithuania - Boy, does President JOE BIDEN love talking about democracy and freedom. ![]() With help from Laura Kayali, Cristina Gallardo, Lili Bayer, Hans von der Burchard and Daniel Lippman Speaking at Vilnius University, President Joe Biden boasted that democracies who champion freedom against authoritarianism’s creep have held strong. ![]() ![]() ![]() "I remember one place that had one of those optics carousels.

Adam Freeth spent six seasons working bars across the Mediterranean including Ibiza, Rhodes and Crete, no doubt peddling goldfish bowls 'cocktails', pushing shots of cheap tequila and basically creating drinks in as lurid a colour as he could invent. ![]() It's a memory many professional bartenders will recognise: their first foray behind the bar during a summer of sun, sea, sand, sex and sangria. The school he founded upon graduating, Shaker, has since trained more than 12,000 bartenders, including big names such as Erik Lorincz, Marian Beke and Stanislav Vardna. As he taught himself about cocktails he realised there was a gap in the market for bartending training that the industry would respect. Kyiv is also maintaining its "customs warehouse" regime, which allows European traders to store gas in Ukraine for 1,095 days without paying taxes and customs duties.Adam Freeth spent his college summers serving less-than-glamorous drinks to unsuspecting tourists, but he was hatching a plan. Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, assessed the TTF Winter 2023 contract on July 3 at Eur49.55/MWh, a premium of Eur15.55/MWh to the TTF month-ahead price of Eur34/MWh. Ukraine has a total of some 31 Bcm of underground gas storage capacity but it remains underutilized, with sites filled with 10.73 Bcm of gas as of July 2, according to S&P Global Commodity Insights data.Įarlier this month, grid operator GTSOU urged European traders to act "promptly" to make use of the country's storage capacity in order to take advantage of current gas market conditions and the summer-winter spread. Storage operator UkrTransGaz said June 30 that Ukraine was already seeing gas storage injections by non-Ukrainian companies after Kyiv offered the use of more than 10 Bcm of spare Ukrainian gas storage capacity this summer.ĮU gas storage sites are already 78% full, according to data from Gas Infrastructure Europe, and could top out well before the start of winter, bringing spare Ukrainian storage capacity into play. There were also five days of reverse flow at Velke Kapusany in June, with gas staying in Ukraine for storage injection. Russian deliveries via Ukraine to non-CIS countries totaled 1.05 Bcm in June, down slightly from May, with supplies into Europe at the Velke Kapusany interconnection point averaging 35 million cu m/d. Russian gas via TurkStream can also be delivered to Romania, Greece, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hungary agreed a 15-year deal in September 2021 with Gazprom for the supply of 4.5 Bcm/year of gas, but also imported additional volumes of Russian gas in August, September and October last year on top of contracted volumes as it looked to ensure security of supply ahead of the past winter. Russia's Gazprom said in April it would consider supplying additional gas to Hungary in 2023 and implementing a deferred payment mechanism for any extra gas deliveries. Supplies via TurkStream in May had totaled 0.7 Bcm, which was the lowest volume since June 2022.īy the end of June, TurkStream flows into Southeast Europe had reached 36 million cu m/d, the highest daily flow since April.Īs well as Turkey itself, two of the main beneficiaries of gas via TurkStream are Hungary and Serbia, which both still have relatively close ties with Moscow. Russian gas deliveries via TurkStream into Southeast Europe rose slightly in June month on month to 0.71 Bcm despite the pipeline being closed from June 5-11 for annual maintenance. ![]() The two-string Nord Stream pipeline was subsequently hit by a suspected sabotage attack in late September, rendering the system unusable.
