One of VR’s first true games also remains one of its best. Developed by the minds behind Monument Valley, Land’s End is a visually arresting adventure in which you explore the remains of an ancient civilization. The game does a terrific job of immersing you in its world, making you marvel at the sheer scale of a cliff face one moment and then cower as you stand atop it in the next. The stunning art direction, meanwhile, still makes this one of the most convincing VR worlds to visit. Don’t sleep on lands end if you have access to Oculus’ mobile VR suite.

I have a feeling that it’s as simple as Starfleet recognizing that Pike is a top command officer, and his current ship (the Enterprise) is down for the count.

Merrelli 2012: ”An important aspect of FIR emission is the fact that the relative intensity of the blackbody curve is more strongly peaked in the FIR for cold atmospheric temperatures. Coupled with the fact that the water vapor absorption is stronger in the FIR relative to the MIR leading to higher altitude weighting functions, the majority of the upper atmosphere cooling to space occurs in the FIR region.”

Funny how you think that was an attack on you when I very specifically (and intentionally) did not call you out as a critic of DSC. Mehtinks you doth protest too much.

These KSB spinner hangers are able to process 800,000 parts annually. The systems were delivered to an Automotive Tier 1 Supplier in the Midwest and installed in December of 2018. Sinto’s spinner hangers can easily handle heavy parts, products up to 5 ton can be processed. These machines are an excellent choice for processing a high number of parts where parts cannot touch during the blast cycle.  For more information, visit https://sintoamerica.com/sinto-surface-treatment/.

In two episodes, Burnham says it’s been years since she last spoke to Spock. This conflicts with the first DSC tie-in book, “Desperate Hours”, which I figured it would as I begrudgingly finished the book, assuming future DSC episodes would confirm my fears.

Why is it important to prioritize both mitigation and adaptation? Most obviously, climate changes like hotter heat waves, drier droughts, rising sea levels, intensifying storms, and nastier wildfire seasons, are already very much part of the new normal on our planet.

The Sir Mix-a-Lot sample "Anaconda" is built around may have been met with a collective eye roll for its obviousness, but Minaj fully redeemed herself by pairing it with her most memorable visual to date. Between a bikini-clad aerobics session and an unforgettable lap dance (one that Minaj bragged left guest-star recipient Drake, ahem, "excited like hell"), the colorful clip solidified Minaj’s superstar status, helping "Anaconda" slither to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, still the rapper’s highest peak yet. – P.C.

So, in summary, we had a good 2018 and are very excited about the potential for 2019 and beyond. But now I’ll pass it on to Larry to talk about the operations.

New generation nuclear fission plant designs, such as liquid thorium and graphite pebble bed reactors, would ease fears of dangerous meltdowns, and offer promise if we can resolve the issue of nuclear waste disposal. Eventually, fusion would provide even cleaner and safer nuclear energy.
