by way of eminence, similar to the Arabic ulc KORAN, is ap
plied to the books of Moses, Neh. viii. 8. : by the Rabbins its application is extended to the whole collection of the Old Testament. So also the name guinn, arin, ò vouos the law, (by which word the Orientals also express religion itself.) and that of vinn na0 the book of the law or of religion, in the books of the Old Testament designate the books of Moses alone ; but by the more recent Jews they are transferred to all the sacred books, as appears not only from John x. 34. xii. 34. xv. 25. I Cor. xiv. 21., but also from the Talmud, Sanhedrim, p. 91. col. 2. compare Wetstenii Nov. Test. P. I. p. 913.
- The names and, anon, o ypaon the scripture, as rapas the scriptures, ypapai áyrar the holy scriptures, and lega y ganjara the sacred letters, are often used to express the books of the Old Testament by Flavius Josephus, Philo the Jew, and the Rabbins, and also by the writers of the New Testament; (II Peter i. 20. Matt. xxii. 29. Rom. i. 2. II Tim. iii. 15. &c.) We, however, apply them collectively to the books of both the Old and New Testaments. Jerome substituted for these expressions that of SANCTA BIBLIOTHECA the Sacred Library, which, although it is well adapted to express its object, has yet not been so readily adopted as the name 616na, the small books, by way of eminence; which Chrysostom was accustomed to use.-Concerning the other names of the books of the Old Testament ; -the Law and the Prophets ; the Law, the Prophets, and the other books ; the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms (which are the most eminent among the other books ;) -all which arise from the division of the books: see below § 103, and Ecclus.

§ 2. Importance of the books of the Old Testament. I. Jesus has not only approved of these books as of the greatest utility and credibility, and made them the foundation of his doctrine, but also very frequently cites them in express terms, as testimony of the highest authority, as in Mat. vii. 12. xi. 13—15. xxii. 37--43. Lu. xvi. 16. s., 29. s. Jo. v. 39. s., 46. x. 35., and in other places, but especially Mat. v. 17, 18, where he says. he did not come to abolish the law and the prophets, i. e. the books of the Old Testament, but to complète or make them perfect: comp. 732 and sopa in BUXTORFII Lex. Chald. Talm. Rab. col. 450. 452.-Wherever he speaks of his own exalted dignity, he establishes it upon these books, as Mat. xi. 13. compare Lu. i. 31-33. xxiv. 25–27, 44—47. John v. 39., but especially Mat. xxvi. 63. s. where, being adjured by the judge, he affirms upon oath, that he is the person who in these sacred writings was promised to come as the Messiah. This declaration he confirmed by shedding his blood upon the cross, so that it can by no means be supposed to have been a mere accommodation to the opinions of the Jews; since no accommodation can be conceived less suited to its purpose than that which not only alienated from the speaker the people to whom it is supposed to have been adapted, but also accelerated his death.[a]
II. T'he Apostles and Evangelists constantly cite these books in proof of their doctrine ; e.g. Acts iii. 18—21. xxviii. 25. I Pet. i. 11. II Pet. i. 19. ü. 21. I Cor. x. 6. Rom. xv. 4. They also delivered them to the churches which they founded, as a sacred treasure of religious instruction, and ordered them to be read in public worship. Paul, by no means a partizan of the Mosaic rites, says, II Tim. iii. 15.s., that these books are able to make Christians wise unto salvation, and thoroughly to instruct the ministers of the church in her doctrine. No one would write in this manner, were his object merely to accommodate himself to the erroneous opinions or manner of speaking of the people.[b]
III. The primitive church, under the teaching of the apostles and their disciples, or but little removed from them, constantly maintained the same opinion, and separated the Gnostics, the Marcionites, and the Manichees from her communion, because they contemptuously
rejected these sacred books, in defence of which several of the earliost fathers wrote against their opponents.
IV. These books recommend themselves, not only by their great antiquity, going back to sixteen centuries before the Christian æra [c] but also by their contents ; of which it will be necessary to treat more at length.
(a) See GESSNER'S Jesus der verheissene Messias, Zurich, 1798; and STURR, über den Geist des Christenthums, in Flatt's Magazin für Chr. Dogm, und Mor. I. St. S. 111–169.]
[6) See KLEUKER Tractat. de nexu qualis constet inter utrumque divinæ constitutionis fædus prophetico. Helmstadt, 1792.]
[c) The most ancient of them are between six and seven hundred years older than Homer, the oldest Greek poet, who lived in the 9th century before Christ; and about eleven hundred years older than Herodotus, the earliest Grecian historian, who wrote in the 5th century before Christ, and near the time when Malachi and Nehemiah composed the last of the Hebrew scriptures. This great antiquity must render these writings in the highest degree attractive and full of instruction, even though the Yajur Veda of the Hindoos should be yet older, as Sir William Jones, in his preface to the Institutions of Menu, asserts, but has not proved. His arguments rest upon uncertain genealogies, upon conjectures, and upon rash conclusions, and after all only tend to show that the Veda was composed in the year 1580, B. C., which, according to the most accurate computation, was the 24th year of the journeying of the Hebrews in Arabia Petræa, consequently, exactly the age in which Moses wrote his books.]
$ 3. Contents of the books of the Old Testament. The principal points in the contents, in respect of which these books excel all others, are the following.–1) The maintenance of the doctrine concerning the true God in those ancient times when all the world worshipped creatures and vain devices.[a]—2) The doctrine of the dignity of man, and of his relation to God as the creator and governor of the world, and the benefactor and judge of men : also a system of morality, such as may in vain be sought for among other ancient nations.-3) Miracles and prophecies entirely unexampled. Many, it is true, have written and do still write against these miracles and prophecies ; yet none can deny that they far exeel all those of which the heathens boast. They are not only free from all superstition, and of a nature and magnitude worthy of the
Deity, but moreover they all tend to one object, the giving evidence that certain men were sent by the omnipotent and omniscient God, the ruler of the world, to the end that by their instructions the knowledge of God and true religion might be preserved and handed down to a remote posterity, by whom it should be propagated to other nations; and, in reality, was at length so propagated.—4) A history, commencing with the creation and the existence of the first man, and carried down to a period but little anterior to Christ; containing many points of doctrine and many salutary precepts, and showing, among other things the perils which the knowledge of God underwent among the Israelites themselves and the measures which were taken by the Deity for its preservation among men.(c)--5) Lastly, a design of the most extraordinary kind; which, after having been proposed in the most ancient writings and declared with gradually increasing clearness in those that followed. was at last, in the New Covenant carried into effect in a most wonderful manner. The nature of this design is such, that men left to themselves could neither have at first invented such an one, nor have carried on in such a manner its progressive developement, nor at last have thus produced its full accomplishment. For not only were all its greater events predicted, and every prediction exactly fulfilled; but even in the time of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, (Gen. xii. 1—4. xv. xvii. 4—14. xviï. 16–22. xxii. 18. xxvi. 1-4. xxviii. 12–18.) twenty-two centuries before Christ, when polytheism and idolatry were predominating throughout the world, a prospect was afforded of those latter times, in which, by means of the posterity of those patriarchs, a saving knowledge of God should be propagated among all nations. At length, sixteen centuries before Christ, when the posterity of Jacob themselves had become contaminated with idolatrous superstition in Egypt, a theocracy, or government by which God became the civil ruler of the people, was established by the agency of Moses, in that nation which had been chosen for the preservation and propagation of the true religion. This was afterwards preserved throughout all the numerous vicissitudes which the nation underwent, notwithstanding the frequent and strong endeavours of the people, and, in course of time, of the kings with all their regal power, to abolish and destroy it. When at last the nation, having become idolatrous,
was carried away into heathen lands, partly by the Assyrians and partly by the Chaldeans, and nothing else could be expected than that, surrounded by idolaters, it should become wholly idolatrous; on the contrary, warned by their adversity, the Hebrews became sincere worshippers of God, and were brought back as Moses and after him many of the prophets had predicted from the foreign lands in which they had been dispersed, to Palestine, more than ever confirmed in their own religion. From that time they could no more be seduced from their religion by contempt and ignominy nor even by bitter persecutions and torturing deaths until the time when the early promises, which had been continually confirmed, enlarged, and variously represented by the prophets, were fulfilled, and the knowledge of God was spread among the various nations of the earth.[d]
[a) The whole ancient world was devoted to superstitious rites, and the adoration of an innumerable multitude of gods and goddesses. In somewhat later times, the philosophers themselves partly founded systems, either Atheistical or leading to Atheism ; partly taught Pantheism, or at any rate by their doctrine of emanations brought the Creator of the world almost to a level with the world itself. In their clearest views they acknowledged only an architect of the universe, but no creator ; and had no correct potions of his attributes or relations to mankind. They did not worship him, as St Paul remarks, but always, as we find from their writings, supported and recommended the worship of the gods. At this very time, when the true knowledge of God existed nowhere else, we find throughout the sacred books of the Hebrews a correct doctrine concerning the true God; who is there represented as the creator and governor of the world, and as the benefactor and judge of men. In the most ancient times, it is true, this doctrine was accommodated to the childhood and the narrow comprehensions of men, who as yet had attained but a slight degree of cultivation, and was accordingly brief, adapted to the perception of the senses, and figurative: nevertheless, in the fundamental ideas it was always accurate and true. As the world advanced in cultivation, this doctrine was continually developed, applied, and more accurately expressed ; so that, as in the laws of Moses, in the book of Job, and in the Psalms, all the attributes of God, and his relations to the world and to men, are plainly exhibited, without any admixture of the doctrines of Pantheism, of emanations, of the eternity of matter, or of subordinate deities : rocks upon which the most sharpsighted sages of antiquity have split, in their researches on this subject. The providence of God in particular, of which so little was known with

* July FX reserves rise $5.82 bln vs expected drop of $12.1 bln
* Asset swings, non-dollar FX changes behind reserve rise - SAFE
* Trade tensions weigh on yuan, capital fight closely watched (Adds details, comment)
BEIJING, Aug 7 (Reuters) - China’s foreign exchange reserves unexpectedly rose in July even as worries over escalating trade tensions between the United States and China have caused market volatility.
Changes in China’s foreign currency holdings are closely watched by investors for any signs of capital flight, as rising trade tensions have hit Chinese stocks and the yuan currency.
Reserves rose $5.82 billion in July to $3.118 trillion, compared with a rise of $1.51 billion in June, central bank data showed on Tuesday.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected reserves to drop by $12.1 billion last month to $3.100 trillion.
The July reserves “point to continued inaction by the People’s Bank (PBOC),” Julian Evans-Pritchard at Capital Economics said in a note.
“The fact that headline reserves moved in the opposite direction doesn’t mean the PBOC purchased FX last month to push down the value of the renminbi. More likely, the increase simply reflects valuation effects from a rise in the price of the foreign bonds held by the PBOC,” he said.
Financial asset fluctuations and changes in non-dollar currencies lead to the small rise in China’s foreign exchange reserves, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) said in a statement.
During July, the dollar index that measures it against other major currencies fell 0.2 percent.
The yuan has fallen 6.3 percent against the dollar since June 14, due to escalating trade tensions with the United States, and that has fanned fears of capital outflows. In 2017, when there were substantial outflows, China imposed tighter capital controls.
The yuan weakened for a fourth straight month in July, the longest such streak since early 2015.
On Friday, China’s central bank said it would set a reserve requirement ratio of 20 percent for financial institutions settling forward dollar sales to clients, effectively raising the cost for investors shorting the yuan.
The People’s Bank of China said it would take counter-cyclical measures to keep foreign exchange markets stable.
Before that move, China’s uncharacteristically laissez-faire approach to its swiftly declining currency had spawned market speculation that the yuan was part of an economic stimulus toolkit and would be allowed to weaken more during the rest of the year.
The central bank also said raising forex settlement reserve requirements is a transparent, non-discriminatory, price-based prudential policy tool, not a capital control.
“If the PBOC tolerates a much weaker currency, severe 2015-like capital flight will again become an immediate risk, which could bring about a market chaos,” Zhou Hao, senior emerging markets economist at Commerzbank, said in a note to clients on Friday.
The value of China’s gold reserves fell to $72.324 billion at the end of July, from $74.071 billion at the end of June.

Contrary to its name, so-called street art has been socially acceptable for a long time now. British graffiti star Banksy eternalized himself and his work in a movie, and the honorable Viennese Museumsquartier commissioned the guerilla tile-artist "Space Invader" to apply his trademark in its entryway. In Nikki Schuster´s stroll down a Parisian street "space invader" also makes an appearance: the distinctive outline of the spaceship suddenly floats in front of an old metal Venetian blind. But in this case it isn´t stuck onto a background, but instead, fluttering, changes its form, which is made up of old cheese wrappers.
Animation artist Nikki Schuster quotes street art when, in the first shot, she pans past a stencil, a patterned logo sprayed onto the sidewalk. But the colorful markings in public space are merely the stage for a ballet of overlooked things: little creatures made of trash carrying out their choreography; tottering, ringing, and rattling before the camera.
The trash monsters built from found objects are animated in front of the camera in single frame projection and subsequently put together on the computer. The sound, too, is found: a mixture of street noises, children´s shouts, a street musician´s tune in the background. The sounds from the little creatures, which jump in front of the camera like goblins, are generated for their part from the sounds of their own materials: an old magnet strip crackles, keys jangle, bottle tops rattle metallically, the sugar in the paper packaging rustles, and champagne corks grate in their aluminum wiring.
Upon closer inspection, picturesque Paris, where graffiti has also meanwhile seamlessly integrated into the street scene, turns out to be a biotope inhabited by extremely lively bastards of human consumerism. They live everywhere: in the cracks of walls, folds of posters, drainage pipes. And while a street musician reels off his chanson repertoire on the surface, they give their own dingy-raspy concert.

Wynwood Walls Art Quarter, Miami, Florida
Wynwood is one of the most visited neighborhoods in Miami- a tourist hotspot. Famous graffiti artists and street painters from every continent in the world have left their mark on the city walls.
As you know, I usually photograph all the street art for the blog myself – this post (unlike all the other posts), was photographed by my friend Udi Maor who has been living in Miami for years and went on a mission for the post that you can see here.
Wynwood is a working-class neighborhood populated mainly by immigrants. It is plagued by low wages, substance abuse, and criminal activity, much like other similar areas in cities throughout the globe. The neighborhood’s population and character changed, either as a result of, or in response to, gentrification efforts. As a result of its many galleries, restaurants, bars, cafés, specialized museums, and art collections, Wynwood has become a hip and happening area. Discover the charm of Miami on foot by taking a trip through Wynwood.
Numerous former workshops and storage facilities are now open to the public as art venues, museums, and galleries.
The Wynwood Walls is the community’s focal point. It’s a public park dedicated to street art, including 50 murals from international artists.
What began as a modest initiative under the direction of the great Tony Goldman has blossomed into a whole neighborhood covered with street art, becoming a genuine art installation that has become the most visited tourist destination in Miami. The Rubell Family Collection includes works by Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Cindy Sherman, and many more, that can be seen during may be seen during a walk through Miami’s art district.
Wynwood Walls BEST 40 art works
There is a must-see Miami attraction right in the middle of Wynwood. The outdoor area was opened in 2009 and features the work of 50 prominent global artists, including those from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the United States.
It’s one of the finest spots to see the latest and greatest from up-and-coming street artists as well as classic pieces by the masters of the genre. Wynwood Walls attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world every year.
The street art in the area is a moving and thought-provoking testament to the city’s multiethnic history and present. It features Hispanic, Asian, Cuban, and African American figures. The first phase of the initiative included commissioning a few murals with the goal of improving the appearance of the surrounding area. Due to its size and beauty, it has grown to become one of the world’s premier outdoor galleries of contemporary street art.
Wynwood Walls is an open-air museum in Miami that serves as a blank canvas for graffiti artists and other street artists. The mural project evolves over time as more and more artists are invited to contribute their artwork to the walls, bringing vibrancy and a fresh social message to the city.
When should you go to visit Wynwood Walls?
Wynwood Walls is open from 11:00-19:30 from Monday through Thursday.
Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
The Wynwood Art Walk, held on the second Saturday of every month, is when the majority of tourists visit the area. Live music, food trucks, and late-night gallery hours are just some of the highlights of this monthly event, which turns the whole Wynwood art district into a street party and arts festival.
Art Basel Miami Beach, an annual international art show, is another busy period since it draws artists and art enthusiasts from all over the globe. A majority of the artists who will be displaying their works at the show often come a few days early to make any necessary adjustments or to create new ones.
Wynwood’s Graffiti Museum
The Graffiti Museum in Wynwood presents new shows, works for sale, graffiti classes, and other art-related activities.
The museum has an indoor exhibition hall, an art gallery, and a spectacular gift store stocked with one-of-a-kind works and limited editions from renowned street artists.
The cost to enter is $16, and kids 13 and under get in free. On Tuesdays, the museum is closed for maintenance.
Among the street artists participating in the post:
Cryptik, DALeast, Shepard Fairey, Futura, Os Gemeos, Swoon, Ron English, Aiko, Kenny Scharf, Lady Pink, Maya Hayuk, Nosm, Neuzz, Swoon, Eduardo Kobra, Mantra, vhils, Dsic Fernandez, Michael Vasquez, Martin Whatson, Kayla Mahaffey, Bordalo II, Buff Monster, Ernesto Maranje, Ashop Crew, Deih, Tats Cru, David Choe, David Flores, Tomokazu Matsuyama, Dan Kitchener, Tristan Eaton, Joe Iurato,

HOUSTON COUNTY, TX (KTRE) -
An explosion rocked the Houston County community of Weldon late Tuesday morning. The community, which is near Lovelady, is about 19 miles from Crockett. One man was life-flighted to the Burn Center for treatment of serious burns.
David Lamb, Houston County's fire Marshall, said there was a small explosion at two storage tanks at the Navidad Resources Weldon Gas Processing Plant located on County Road 3575 in Weldon. The explosion occurred at 11:10 a.m. Because the incident is still under investigation, authorities are not releasing the man's name.
Fire crews from the Weldon, Lovelady, Crockett, and Austonio fire departments battled the blaze sparked by the explosion for about 45 minutes before they got it under control.

The Ghaziabad police has arrested the Assistant Inspector General (Stamps) for extorting money from property buyers by issuing notices on fake complaints.
AIG (stamps) Rajesh Sharma was arrested for abusing his official position by way corrupt practices that led to loss of hundreds of crores to the state exchequer, police said.
The police said that Naib Tehsildar Bhupendra Singh lodged a complaint on June 14 (Wednesday) with the Kavinagar police in which he alleged that AIG Rajesh Sharma along with former Sub Registrar Ajay Goel was engaged in extorting money by carrying on office work from Ajay Goel's private residence Atar-2/231 Rajnagar in Ghaziabad.
The officer was arrested on late Thursday night. He has been presented before the court which remanded him to 14 days judicial custody.
Two complaints were filed in the district magistrate's office against Rajesh Sharma by Rajesh Upadhyay, president of Deed Writer Association, and Anil Chaudhary, an advocate who alleged that the officer was running his office from a private place and had taken the official computer, scanner, printer and other official documents to the private residence from where he used to manage complaints by fake names on which basis he used to issue notices to property buyers whose documents came to his office for screening after getting registered at the sub registrar office.
The FIR states that the officer had taken all the data from his office in a pen drive to the private place. The FIR further states that if the property buyers did not offer bribe beforehand, the officer used to lodge cases in civil courts and forced them to come to a compromise by bribing him.
Hence he used to extort money from innocent property buyers, the FIR states.
The FIR states that the officer had slashed the collector's circle rate drastically due to which the state suffered a huge loss in several hundred crores.
The complainant presented a citation in the FIR that the officer AIG (stamps) Rajesh Sharma had slashed the collector's circle rate of RED Mall at New Bus Stand from Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 75,000 - which is half of the prevailing rate. There were other such instances of this nature.
The police said the documents suggests that the former District Magistrate Nidhi Kesarwani bypassed the ADM Finance and ordered to resolve the dispute directly as she delegated the power to him so in this sequence her unsigned order was found uploaded on the computer. So through such tricks he managed huge money and incurred huge loss to the state exchequer.
Earlier, to establish the allegations the city magistrate ordered a search warrant on which basis a raid was conducted at R-2/231 at Ajay Goel's residence where the AIG (stamps) Rajesh Sharma and Ajay Goel were found engage operating computers.
The computer expert Rahul Tyagi opened the system and found that an unsigned order of former District Magistrate Nidhi Kesarwani was uploaded on the computer. The Sub Inspector Dharmendra Lamba was called and a recovery memo was prepared after which the official seals, computer, printer and other documents were seized and were attached as a case property before filing the FIR.
The Ghaziabad District Magistrate Ministhy S. Nair on June 15 had recommended the suspension of the guilty officer. He is likely to be suspended since he had been arrested under grave sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 77, of IPC in the case filed by the state officer Naib Tehsildar Bhupendra Singh.
A private complaint has also been registered under section 383, 504 and 506 of IPC filed by a person, Brijesh Sharma, who alleged that Rajesh Sharma and Ajay Goel demanded Rs 10 lakh from him and asked to bring Rs 10 lakh from a client, Ashutosh Joshi.
The FIR states that the complainant Brijesh Sharma was facing severe mental torture since last two months.

When satellite navigation was cut off at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel last year, only the skills of air traffic controllers prevented serious accidents. The turmoil is clearly a coincidence, originating from Russian troops fighting in Syria. However, it does show how dangerous the disruption of the Global Positioning System, well known as GPS, is.
Todd Humphreys, a communications engineer at the University of Texas at Austin, said: "There is a growing awareness that GPS needs to be protected, enhanced and extended. GPS is now underpinning an amazing part of our daily lives. In its simplest form, GPS receivers are always on earth. We have them in our cell phones and cars. They allow boats to move through difficult waterways and coral reefs like modern lighthouses. Emergency services Currently, I am looking for someone who is in trouble using GPS.
Less obvious, the port will not work because the crane needs GPS to find the right container to move. Ports also play an important role in logistics so that automakers and supermarkets can use just-in-time delivery systems. Without them, our supermarket shelves would be empty and prices would be high.
The construction industry uses GPS for surveying, and fishermen use GPS to comply with strict regulations. However, GPS is not only location-specific, it is also time.
The constellations of 30 satellites in orbit around the earth use some highly accurate atomic clocks to synchronize their signals. With these, users can pinpoint time within one hundred billionth of a second. All cellular networks use GPS time to synchronize base stations, but financial institutions and banks use GPS time to ensure that transactions and transfers are correct.
Without satellite navigation, we would really get lost. But is there anything that can replace it? And what to do without this ubiquitous system?
The London School of Economics estimates that a five-day loss of satellite navigation will cost more than £ 5.1 billion (US $ 6.5 billion) in the UK alone. GPS system failures also cost the U.S. economy an estimated $ 1 billion (£ 760 million) per day and up to $ 1.5 billion (£ 1.1 billion) per day during the farmer's planting season. Become. April and May.
But gps blockers are surprisingly common. The military regularly blocks GPS failures in certain areas during equipment testing and military exercises. The US government also regularly conducts tests and exercises that result in interference with satellite signals, but some technical issues are also causing global problems.
Of course, there are other global navigation satellite systems as well. Glonass in Russia, Galileo in Europe, and BeiDou in China all work like GPS. Increasingly, interference or intentional interference can also lead to signal interruptions from satellite positioning systems.
Charlie Curry, a Fellow at the Royal Institute of Navigation and founder of Kronos Technology working in the field, said:
The military has good reasons to be particularly concerned. Originally developed by the Pentagon, satellite navigation now carries everything from strategic drones and warships to individual intelligent bombs and infantry. And it is in danger.
Criminals also use GPS jamming devices, which can be easily purchased online, to track systems that track stolen vehicles without worrying about who else is affected in the area. And there is a greater danger.

Many words have been used to describe me over the years, but typically “nice” is overshadowed by more accurate terms such as “controlling,” “bitchy,” “Type A,” and “bossy.” Yes, I’m that person that lectures you about your decisions and stands up in meetings with half-hour long diatribes about how your actions impact all of us (how dare you take shots in letters??). In short, I’m insufferable. If you’re dealing with someone like me, you probably think I’m horrible and negative while wishing TMJ on me so someone would have an excuse to wire my jaw shut. However, if you’re someone like me, you know that all of your negative, controlling, psychotic behavior is driven from a deep-rooted desire to make our relationships, friendships, and organizations the absolute best they can be. Now, thankfully, a new study has confirmed that even the worst of us truly do have everyone’s best intentions at heart, so instead of complaining about me in your group chats, it’s time to start actually listening to what I have to say.
The journal Psychological Science published a study that confirmed what I’ve known all along: those of us who instill negative emotions in others do so because we truly believe they will help them out long-term. Researchers from the University of Plymouth gave a group of 140 adults hypothetical situations where their friends were in stressful situations. What they found was that the bitchiest friends who nagged their counterparts did so because they thought that would be the most helpful way for them to improve their situations. That’s right – by putting ourselves in the shoes of those we believe to be in danger from making poor decisions, we’re actually being the best possible friend to you by looking out for you with what you may have been perceiving as criticism.
Thanks to science, my tendency to nag, annoy, and bitch at everyone in my life has now been completely validated. Don’t like that I’m telling you that dress actually does make you look fat? Too bad, because you’re rejecting my purely selfless friendship. I’m not being an asshole, really – I just love you and want you to look as good as I know you can in the picture we’re going to Instagram later. Now stop slouching, fix your makeup, and change your shirt – it’s time for the pre-game..

What is a wet market one might ask? Well in Singapore before there were air conditioned super markets, wet markets ruled. My grandma had her favorite Fish monger/ vegetable seller/ chicken man where she was guaranteed the freshest & best ingredient because of the years accumulated as a loyal customer.
In recent years, these wet markets have struggled to compete with younger generations wanting comfort, clean and nice smelling environments to shop for their groceries. Its still hard to beat the variety, freshness of what you can get. When I am home, I still go to the wet market because its still the best place to get freshly grated coconut for squeeze santan (aka coconut milk) when I’m making Kueh.
Local Singaporean chef Pamelia Chia explores uncommonly used vegetables, fruits and herbs found in Singapore wet markets, using over 80 recipes to bring out their unique flavours and textures. Pamelia’s heart-felt stories about the wet-market vendors and shopping with her mom opens our minds and stomachs to the possibility of using fresh ingredients and cooking Singaporean inspired meals.

“Great opportunities come up all the time!
You just have to be on the lookout for the right windows”
I was frozen with fear and time seemed to freeze with me. The next few seconds seemed to take twenty minutes; I was desperate to turn and run but was stuck to the ground like someone had hammered nails into each of my feet.
The man in the middle was the biggest, he looked like a world wrestling champion, with biceps as wide as my chest, which were busting out of a skin tight yellow t-shirt. He seemed like the leader of this group, and he was the first to talk, actually it was more like screaming, only with a deep booming voice, “T h a t s m y f u c k i n g s i s t e r y o u f u c k i n g p e r v e r t !” he yelled at me as the four of them charged towards me.
Then in super slow motion, he raised a big chunk of wood from his side to high above his enormous shoulders. Then slowly started to swing it towards me. I still couldn’t move. I could see it coming towards me clearly, a thick whitish square piece of wood about twice as think as a baseball bat, but just as long, and alarmingly with two nails protruding from the end. I could see them clear enough to see the rust on the sharp points, yet I just couldn’t move out of the way.
Suddenly someone switched off super slow motion and turned on fast forward. The piece of wood flew towards me at a thousand miles an hour and smashed hard into the side of my face. The force of it was so strong that I flew over and hit the ground so hard it felt like I had been dropped from a plane. Then all three of them started to kick me over and over again. They pummeled me all over, my head, my arms, my stomach, my legs, and most painfully my reproductive areas.
Over and over and over and over and over! I lost all the breath from my lungs quickly and couldn’t shout out. I just let out howling squeals like a piglet being used as a soccer ball. The pain was so overwhelming and consumed me so much I couldn’t even fight enough to raise my arms to cover my face. I just lay there limply being beaten like a piece of meat at the butchers under the hammer, being tendered up for some fat rich bastard. Finally they stopped.
At least that’s what I was thinking when the blows suddenly came to a halt. Instead they all stood over me yelling angry, angry rants, although I couldn’t make out what any of them were saying, my ears were ringing loudly, like I was trapped in a church bell tower, from the numerous kicks which had all but crushed in the side of my head.
Then I saw the main guy lifting the wooden bar high above his head again. He then lowered it down on my face using all the might he could muster. Then again! Then again! Then again! Then blackness.

Snow Tires: Do I Really Need Them?
A sure way to get yourself into trouble is to head into winter weather with a vehicle that is not equipped for slippery conditions. That starts with proper vehicle maintenance and deciding whether to install a set of snow tires on your car, truck, or SUV.To get more news about FORTUNE Tire, you can visit gofortunetire.com official website.
Snow tires – or more correctly, “winter tires” – have special rubber compounds and tread designs that allow them to maintain grip under weather conditions in which standard tires don’t perform well. If you live in an area with snow, ice, or frigid temperatures, winter tires can give you a safety edge that all-season tires won’t.
The term “winter tires” is an industry term that is often used in place of “snow tires," as new tire designs improve a car’s ability to accelerate, brake, and steer, even when the weather is cold and dry.
The mission of winter tires is to expand the range of conditions in which the tires retain grip, providing traction when regular tires would be sliding. They can be an expensive purchase, so buyers will want to look at whether they need to buy them and when to have them on their vehicle.
“If you live in a climate where you consistently see temperatures in the low 40s or below for an extended period of time, I think that winter tires should be a consideration,” says Robert Saul, the director of consumer product strategy for Bridgestone North America.
Saul adds that your hobbies might also drive your decision, if you frequently head to the mountains for winter sports.
Read on to see what makes a winter tire perform at its best when the weather is at its worst, other considerations that should factor into your buying decision, and some alternatives to snow tires.

Kerry Katona puts on a leggy display in tiny distressed denim shorts
May 20, 2018 6:01 PM
She has recently flaunted her dramatic weight loss after transforming her figure.
And it seems Kerry Katona's new healthy lifestyle has given her an added surge of energy, as she was seen bouncing around the edge of a football pitch.
The 37-year-old mother looked in high spirits as she enjoyed a day at a celebrity football match held at Bristol City's ground on Sunday.
The TV personality donned a pair of tiny distressed denim shorts which put her tanned legs firmly on display.
She teamed the skimpy shorts with a sporty-style electric blue tshirt with a white trim around the sleeves.
During her energetic display Kerry wore a pair of chunky white trainers as she pranced around the football field.
It seemed that Kerry, who wore her hair in her usual cropped bob, was attempting to referee the match as she shouted at through a megaphone on the sidelines.
She also took the time to catch up with former Eastenders star Jake Wood and his son, 10, as they chatted by the side of the pitch with her daughter Heidi, 11.
The star has been enjoying singldom since she ended her marriage with George McKay once and for all last summer, although the split has been far from amicable.
Speaking to Closer magazine, the singer confessed that her weight loss has given her a certain confidence with men, although she doesn't feel ready to date just yet.
'I think I'm happy being on my own right now and I don't want to let just anyone into my life. I've been hurt so much in the past - it'll take somebody really special to win my love.'
Transforming her fitness has had a positive effect on the mother-of-five who admitted to having a new outlook on life.
She added: 'I'm a different person - I feel like I'm the Kerry who I should have been for a good few years; I'm back to the Kerry everyone fell in love with.'
Speaking about her failed love-life, the beauty revealed she would rather become a lesbian than date a man and has ruled out having more children in the future so she doesn't ruin her new physique.
The Eternal Flame hitmaker moved in with her 'wifey' Ampika Pickston after splitting from third husband George Kay in June and was inspired by the Real Housewives of Cheshire star to change her lifestyle dramatically.
Kerry and George have three-year-old daughter Dylan-Jorge together, while the reality star also has Molly, 16, Lily-Sue, 14, Heidi, 11, and Maxwell, nine, from her first two marriages.

Giant cutaneous horn in an African woman: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports volume 1, Article number: 170 (2007)
A cutaneous horn is a conical projection of hyperkeratotic epidermis. Though grossly resembling an animal horn, it lacks a bony core. These lesions have been well described in Caucasian patients, as well as in a number of Arabic and Asian patients.
A young female presented with a large 'horn' of five-year duration, arising from a burn scar. Excision and scalp reconstruction were performed. Histology was reported as verrucoid epidermal hyperplasia with cutaneous horn.
This may be the first documentation of this lesion in a black African. Although likely rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dermatologic lesions. Up to 40% of cutaneous horns occur as part of a premalignant or malignant lesion, and surgical extirpation with histological examination is thus more important than the curiosity surrounding these lesions.
A cutaneous horn, or cornu cutaneum, is a dense hyperkeratotic conical projection of skin arising from an unusual cohesiveness of keratinized material. It resembles an animal horn grossly, but lacks a bony core, histologically consisting of concentric layers of cornified epithelial cells. Most have a yellow-white color, and may be straight or curved and twisted, and vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters in length [1, 2]. Cutaneous horns may arise from any part of the body, and only 30% arise from the face and scalp. They are thought to result from underlying benign, premalignant or malignant pathology, in 61.1%, 23.2% and 15.7% of cases respectively .
A 28 year old female patient presented to AIC Kijabe Hospital (KH) with a large 'horn' growing from her right parietal region. She had suffered a thermal burn of this same area at the age of 5 years. She had successfully concealed the scalp burn scar using a wig all her life (Figure 1), until three years prior to presentation, when she noticed a mass developing on the scar. The mass gradually increased in size, making it more and more difficult to conceal. It also began bleeding spontaneously, but with no associated pain.
On examination, she had a large 15 cm × 15 cm area of alopecia over the right temporo-parietal region of her scalp. A golden-yellow colored horn with a base diameter of 3 cm and a height of 6 cm sat in the middle of the scar, with an extension of a mass of similar consistency posteriorly, measuring 5 cm by 4 cm. An area of hypopigmentation encircled this mass (Figure 2). The lesion was excised, and the defect covered with a skin graft (Figure 3). A tissue expander was inserted into the adjacent scalp to enable scalp expansion and reconstruction (Figure 3).
Histology was reported as verrucoid epidermal hyperplasia with a cutaneous horn, and vitiligo. There was no evidence of malignancy.
The patient was satisfied with the scalp reconstruction especially as it allowed her to do away with the use of a wig.
A sizeable number of people with cutaneous horns have been reported in the medical literature, almost entirely among Caucasians from Europe [1–4], with a few additional reports emanating from Turkey [5, 6]. The rarity of this condition in other races and regions is evidenced from the occasional reports from India [7–9] (Asia) and Sudan  (Africa). The report from Sudan was from the Arab North. There is no previous report in the English medical literature of cutaneous horns occurring in people from Sub-Saharan Africa. This may be the first such report involving a black African.
Bondeson presented an excellent review of cutaneous horns. In Europe these individuals were often treated with superstitious awe and many enterprising showmen made careers out of exhibiting people with cutaneous horns for money . Yu et al reported a series of 643 patients over a 10 year period, with 32 new patients annually, while Mencıa-Gutierrez et al. presented 48 patients in Spain with eyelid cutaneous horns over a similar period of time . Thus cutaneous horns may be considered a relatively common entity amongst Caucasian populations.
Burn scars are known to heal with hypertrophic scars, keloid, skin dyspigmentation, and chronic non-healing or unstable scars which may degenerate into squamous cell carcinomas (Marjolin's ulcers), amongst other scar complications. However, there appears to be no previous mention in the literature of a cutaneous horn developing from a thermal burn scar.
The present case is reported so that cutaneous horns, a common entity in the West, but a rarity in black Africans, may be considered among the differential diagnosis in dermatological conditions. The rarity of this condition also lends itself to the most unusual interpretations and superstition, as evidenced by the curious interest and discussion in the operating room at the time of this particular patient's surgery, and it is hoped that this brief report will help to correct these misconceptions. Finally, up to 40% of cutaneous horns have been shown to have an underlying premalignant or malignant lesion, hence the importance of complete extirpation and histopathological diagnosis .

The Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The processor or CPU is arguably the most important component of your computer. It is the main chip involved in every calculations needed for any electronic device to function. This little bit of genious calculates all the outputs you are expecting a computer to do.
Not only can it calculate Excel spreadsheet results, but it also directs what every other component in the computer does. Therefore, it also connects you to the internet, translates web pages to your screen and makes video game graphics possible. And at all times, it makes the operating system work from boot to shutdown, including the updates.
With all of the CPU choices on the market today, it's not always easy to know what technical specifications too look for in a modern CPU. This is exactly why we wrote this article! We hope to help you maximise your next investment by knowing exactly which aspects to look for. Here is what we will be covering in this article:
- Power consumption
- Integrated graphics
CPU vs GPU Rendering
With all of that, you won't be surprised to know that a CPU is also the single most critical component involved in the rendering of 3D images. Rendering is the final step of producing the final images of a 3D film and it's extremely time-consuming. The CPU almost single handedly determines the rendering speed of most render engines. And most render engines still rely heavily on the CPU for calculations
However, these days you can find a few render engines that are optimized to render on modern video cards (GPU). There are also a few newer hybrid engines using both, which seem very promising.
In any case, a good CPU will always be useful at any step of graphic-intensive work, from smooth operations quick manipulation of media content. Take good care in selecting a quality CPU, because the rest of the components (ram, motherboard) are only there to support it's good operations. You should select the processor first when determining your next computer purchase, as it will guide the rest of the component-selection process.
What to Look?
1. Number of Cores
This one of the main two specs that is clearly advertised and most important. The number of cores is like having multiple processors in one. So you should look for a CPU with as much cores of the highest clock speed as possible.
For 3D renderings, you should definitely go with at least a quad-core or better. There can be up to 32 cores distributed on two processors, in professional systems of today.
2. Speed (in GHz)
The second equally important aspect of a CPU is it's speed. All other factors being equal, speed is as important as the number of cores. In fact, they are mostly communicating vases, because each characteristic compete for the same space on the chip. The real important comparison factor is the multiplication of speed by the number of cores. Read more below.
As long as you have at least 4 cores, you should privilege speed over more cores. For example, an eight-core 2Ghz processor is not as good as a quad core 4Ghz. Additionnally, try to find a CPU with at least 3Ghz or better.
This is because occasionally, the raw speed is more important than the number of cores. Indeed, there are still a few operations that can only be performed only on the first core of a CPU. And it is especially true of older applications, but also in some more recent applications as well. There are often modern simulation operations that cannot be parallelized, because they can only be performed one after the other.
3. L3 Cache (in Mb)
L3 cache is the fastest and most important cache to your processor's rendering power. Even before the RAM memory has to be used for rendering, the L3 can be used for storing small elements with no delay in access time. In fact, it is the closest kind of memory to your CPU, after the L1 and L2. Unfortunately, this setting is also often hidden away in the 'advances specifications' between other numbers. You must absolutely find a CPU with as much L3 cache memory as you can. 8 Mb is the absolute minimum, 12 Mb is better, 16 Mb is ideal, 30Mb is really great!
Remember that the L3 memory is split between the number of cores, so the more core you have, the more L3 you will need. Do not forget to check this technical spec, as it is very, very important, and too often overlooked. It also contributes to varying prices in otherwise similar-looking processors.
Hyper-threading doubles the amount of cores available by splitting each core into two halves. This is a feature specific of the Intel i7 series that you don't necessarily need for 3D rendering, especially if you have already 4 cores. If you're tight on a budget, a i5 series will be just as good in every aspect, except the hyper-thread.
If you decide to use hyper-threading, make sure your speed is at least 3 Ghz. Remember that it will also split the first core, that is often the only used for some processes. You' ll be reassured to know that you can always disable this function in the bios of i7 processors.
5. Power Consumption (in W)
The wattage of your computer is very important as it will determine the heat produced overall. This will influence the size of PSU needed and the CPU fans needed to cool it. The energy consumed will also have an impact on your electricity bill, but not as much as the GPU does.
6. Integrated Video Acceleration
For 3D work, make sure the CPU does not have an integrated video card. Indeed, you will need to have a dedicated GPU one to work properly in a 3D software.
The integrated graphics take valuable space on the CPU that could be used for more processing power. The integrated graphics will also become deactivated once you install a separate graphics card. It also uses part of the internal CPU memory and RAM to allocate ressources for the processing of video graphics. Finally, it may even interfere with the drivers of the dedicated video card.
7. Price ($ USD)
If you're on a tight budget, you shouldn't expect to spend any less than 250$ for a decent processor. Otherwise, you will not be able to make 3D computer graphics with enough speed and quality to be able to do present anything. There is a minimum level of computing power needed to will allow you to create almost anything you can imagine in a believable way. Don't test the limits of human patience, they don't compare to render times.
But for an optimal CPUs at a good price ratio, you should expect to spend between 300$ to 400$. Try to catch them on regular sale, during the times of the year when sellers are fiercely battling for the best deals. The key to finding the right price for a CPU is to aim at the bottom of the mid-to-high range, right before the prices increase exponentially.
More info on our article about finding the best prices in electronics.
More About Processors
These other components are also very influential in how your chosen CPU will perform. You will need a good motherboard, RAM and CPU fan to get the most out of your computer processor. The speed of the motherboard and RAM will limit the speed of the computer and the CPU fan will allow the cooling to maximise performance.

Hello! I present you with my latest car. It was inspired by BMW M5. My main goal was to fit four doors in a mid size creation :).
About this creation
It took some time to finish this. It's my first mid size car! I think it ended nice, but believe me I would choose different color sets if only I had the parts :(.
Unfortunately, it all depends on the color of mudguards, which are rare pieces. Especially when you don't buy parts separately.
I would also use the 31006 wheels... again, if I had them ;P.
Features full opening side doors, front and the trunk.
I have no idea how to build engines yet, so its the basic design. The trunk is big, and if I wanted I could have integrated spare wheel compartment below it. Also features rear view mirror detail, front wiper and back stop light below the roof.
Seats are adjustable.
Really adjustable! Front seats can move forward and backward to fit different size of people :). Also you can adjust the steering wheel up and down.
I think the big advantage of the modular design is the you can shape and finish modules separately.

Lee Celebrates 30 Years of Conn Leadership
As a part of Celebration 2016 Lee students, faculty, staff, and alumni acknowledged Dr. Paul Conn’s transformation leadership in his 30 years as Lee University president.
On Monday night, Sept. 26, faculty and staff
recognized Dr. Conn and his wife Darlia with a special dinner and a Lee Symphony
Orchestra concert featuring ABBA tribute artists Arrival From Sweden.
Dr. Carolyn Dirksen, director of faculty development and distinguished professor of English, the only member of the Lee family who has been working at Lee longer than Dr. Conn, spoke at Monday’s event about Conn’s journey from psychology professor to university president.
“God’s hand was at work decades before it became evident that Lee’s future depended on Paul and Darlia,” said Dirksen.
Conn was inaugurated as president on Oct. 31, 1986. In his inaugural speech, Conn stated that the goal of Lee is to impress upon students “that the greatest force in human history is produced by the fusion of man's ability with God's power.”
Dr. Eric Moyen, assistant vice president for Academic Affairs, also spoke at the anniversary dinner, commenting on the fulfillment of President Conn’s inaugural speech.
“Tonight we celebrate that after three decades, more than 5,000 individuals who call themselves Lee students learn that excellent effort combined with reliance on God are the cornerstones to a life well lived,” said Moyen.
Students celebrated the 30-year anniversary on Thursday with a special student-led chapel featuring
student reflections, video presentations, and a little bit of Elvis, which can
all be viewed at the link below.
“No matter how many ribbon cuttings we have or how many buildings are dedicated, the focus of Dr. and Mrs. Conn is always the hearts and lives of the students,” said student speaker and senior communications major Rebekah Mura during the celebratory chapel.
On behalf of the student body in appreciation for the Conns’ leadership, Dr. and Mrs. Conn were presented several gifts including a box of handwritten cards from students, two quilts made from Lee-themed T-shirts, and a check for more than $6,000 to be divided between the Darlia McCluhan Conn African Student and the Charles W. Conn scholarships.
“I’m so thankful for the Conns and for the tremendously high presidential standard they’ve created,” said sophomore English major Brian Ericson. “The impact of their legacy here at Lee will affect generations to come.”

While I have been able to get a good number of books in this year, I've been very disappointed in the books I've chosen to read. I've felt like a lot of the books I've read haven't really hit the mark with me, but in reviewing the books that I've read I realized only a few of those were real duds. With that, here are the books I've read so far and next to it my rating (see below for rating definitions), you can also click the titles if you want to read more about each of these books:
1. The Fall of Five by Pittacus Lore (HIGH FIVE) - Part of the I am Number Four series
2. The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordeno (DUD; BOOK CLUB)
3. The Gemma Doyle Series by Libba Bray
3. A Great and Terrible Beauty (HIGH FIVE)
4. Rebel Angels (HIGH FIVE)
7. Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson (DUD) - This book is seriously disturbing, I almost hated it.
8. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson (HIGH FIVE)
9. Building a Home with my Husband by Rachel Simon (LOW FIVE)
10. The House of Hades by Rick Riordan (HIGH FIVE) - Part of the Hero's of Olympus series
11. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin (HIGH FIVE; REREAD) - One of my go-to favorites
12. The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (HIGH FIVE)
13. Still Alice by Lisa Genova (HIGH FIVE, BOOK CLUB)
DUD = I didn't really care for these books, either the story wasn't for me or there was something specific that completely turned me off. In the case of Twisted, I thought I would enjoy it because I really did enjoy Speak by the same author. Unfortunately, Twisted lived up to it's name and made me so uncomfortable, I couldn't wait for it to be over.
LOW FIVE = Books that I liked but didn't really knock it out of the park. For example, The Sweet Far Thing, the final book of the Gemma Doyle series fell short from it's two predecessors and left me wishing for something different.
HIGH FIVE = You'll notice most of the HIGH FIVES are books within a series, I do love a good series and most of the books I've read this year that are part of a series I had an already established love for. There are a couple here that aren't part of a series that I really really enjoyed. Speak, I had seen part of a Lifetime movie based on this book and had been wanting to read it for a while, it did not disappoint. Still Alice, this was chose for my book club and we haven't had a meeting on it yet but I completely loved it. Looking forward to the film adaptation coming up.
So that's all the books I've read so far. I'm still feeling like I haven't read much this year that's really blown me away, and I think part of that is because I've started several that I didn't care to continue; so if you have any suggestions for books that you absolutely LOVE send them my way! I'm always looking for a good read!

Do Vortex Scopes Fog Or Condesate
Does Vortex rifle scopes come with good quality? Do Vortex Scopes Fog Or Condesate Which model is superior which is Diamondback Crossfire or the Diamondback Crossfire? Are they able to rival Leupold or Burris? Find this article out! Before we get started, let’s take a look at some common questions people ask about Vortex scopes. Let’s discover the characteristics of a great rifle scope! You can then make an informed choice! We’ll look at the two models and talk about why you should pick one model over the other.
Does Vortex make good rifle scopes?
What do you think? Are Vortex riflescopes really worth the money? The company has several models that are highly regarded by shooters. For instance, the Diamondback (r) Tactical series is one of them. These rifle scopes are known for their exceptional optical performance, durability, and price-for-value. Do Vortex Scopes Fog Or Condesate They are available for purchase starting at a few hundred dollars, so you’re sure to find one that suits your needs. The Diamondback Tactical series is made especially for engaging tactical targets and long-range sports shooting contests.
Its Viper HS, which is specifically designed for shooting close range is another choice which is manufactured by Vortex. With a large field of view for its size it is the Viper HS provides excellent functionality even at 1X magnification. This scope is extremely compact and features dual-eye relief. It’s also very durable, and can function like a red dots sight even when zoomed into 1X.
The Vortex Optics headquarters are located in a small town in Wisconsin. They manufacture one model in the United States. This model, the American Made Glass Vortex Razor HD AMG 6-24×50 rifle scope is manufactured in Wisconsin using laser precision. The rest of the Razor line is manufactured in Japan. However, this Vortex Razor HD scope is still unmatched. A top-quality Vortex rifle scope will make all the difference in how you hunt.
Which one is better? Vortex Diamondback, or Crossfire?
Among the many options available for rifle scopes Vortex Diamondback and Crossfire offer better quality, compactness, and portability. The scopes are multi-coated which improves the light transmission and minimizes the amount of glare. Vortex Diamondback also has a fast-focus eyepiece and a wide field of view. These are the best scopes for hunting and are robust. Do Vortex Scopes Fog Or Condesate.
Both scopes have great magnification, the Diamondback is slightly more expansive in its area of vision. Crossfire II is designed for use with glasses, while the Diamondback is better suited for sit-back shooting or range hunting. Although they share many similarities each has its own distinct advantages. The Diamondback provides better clarity of the optical and the Crossfire II offers more flexibility with regards to settings. The Crossfire II is also easier to use for new shooters and the Diamondback has more durability and is specifically designed for larger rifles.
Both Vortex Crossfire and Diamondback rifle scopes offer similar features. The different prices and sizes are an important consideration in deciding which model is right for your needs. Vortex Diamondback scopes are slightly smaller and lighter than the Crossfire II scopes. However, Crossfire II scopes are better suited to long-range shooting. While they offer larger areas of view, they are less costly. Do Vortex Scopes Fog Or Condesate.
Are Vortex scopes comparable to Leupold?
The question “Are Vortex rifle scopes as good as Leuppold” might not be an easy one to answer. While Leupold has more than two-hundred years of industry experience, Vortex has many features and benefits that Leupold doesn’t. Leupold’s scopes are produced in the US and Vortex has their manufacturing outsourced to China. Both offer unparalleled warranty and provide replacements in the event that you damage your scope. Vortex scopes are made to last and they cost accordingly.
Vortex makes rifle scopes that resist to the recoil of a magnum. Its reticle is considered to be nearly indestructible. It is crucial for you to utilize your scope responsibly and only for its intended use. Many individuals choose Vortex rifle scopes because of their durability and quality. This is why they’re among the top picks. This is a look at how Vortex scopes compare with Leupold’s. Do Vortex Scopes Fog Or Condesate.
While Vortex rifle scopes do not have the same magnification range, they have a larger field-of-view at the lowest magnification. A 2x Vortex scope provides double the field-of-view than a Leopold scope at 2X. They also have better eye relief and tube filling. As far as images are concerned, Vortex scopes are superior to Leupold’s.
Which is better Burris and Vortex?
If you’re contemplating buying an entirely new rifle scope, the first thing you should think about is which is superior, either the Vortex Diamondback, or Burris Fullfield II? Both are fantastic options, but which one is superior? You can learn more about them below! Vortex is the less expensive choice and comes with a range of options, including the reticle which works with batteries. Burris rifle scopes have the advantage of offering more eyesight relaxation as compared to Vortex rifle scopes.
The Vortex Strike Eagle has a slightly bigger area of vision and an adjustment of 140MOA. It’s also a little pink. Vortex’s AR-332 riflescope fits into the budget of most. Both scopes offer great performance and are worth a look. The scopes of Burris are more expensive, but Vortex rifle scopes tend to be more affordable. If you’re working on a budget then the AR-332 is an excellent choice. Do Vortex Scopes Fog Or Condesate.
Both companies make excellent rifle scopes, however one model has more features. The Vortex Strike Eagle is one of the first models manufactured by Vortex. While Vortex’s Strike Eagle does not have the technological advancements that are found in Vortex PST Vortex PST, it still has a great performances for shooting long distances. Each of the Burris as well as Vortex rifle scopes feature an reticle, however both are a great choice for moving game hunting.
Why To Choose Vortex Optics?
There are many reasons to purchase a Vortex rangefinder. They feature high-end optics and a wide field of view. The highest magnification is ten X, and they come with a 3 inch sunshade and lens cover. They also come with an inner tube filled with argon gas for fog, shock, as well as water-resistant. Additionally, the Strike Eagle series is another great choice for mid-level users.
These red dots are also extremely inexpensive. For instance, the Vortex Sparc, which is priced at just under $200, is light and compact, as well as extremely flexible. Its bright and daylight-colored 2 MOA dot as well as ten adjustable light settings make it ideal for any situation, and it utilizes only one AAA battery. It also features a robust and robust chassis. Additionally, it’s fog-proof as well as waterproof and waterproof, making it among the most flexible and cost-effective red dots you can find.
This Viper PST Gen II scope is a versatile weapon accessory. The scopes’ magnification is ranging from four to sixteen x. They can cover all hunter scenarios easily. Their dead-hold BDC Reticle is lit for accurate and clear targets. They also have high dispersion glass as well as being fog- and shock-proof. Additionally the rifle optics are waterproof and argon-purged, so they’re not susceptible to dust and other debris.
