![]() The Centurion has a lot of potential and is a great option for an all-around gun. I don’t think the question is why this size, I think the question is what took them so long. In other platforms, it has proven to be incredibly popular, often eclipsing the full-size version. ![]() The Centurion size is a great compromise on a lot of fronts, and there is nothing wrong with going to G-19 size. That is a pretty simple way of summing it up, but don’t think for a second I am talking smack. The Compact is basically Glock 26 or M&P 9C size, with a capacity of 13+1, while retaining the same 3.7-inch barrel length. It has a capacity of 15+1, compared to the APX full size 17+1. It is an APX with a slightly shortened slide and grip. The Centurion is basically Glock 19 or M&P2.0 Compact size. So, with all that said, what exactly are the Centurion and Compact version? Well, as I said in the video, we did these guns together for a reason. There was some gunfighter input into the APX design, which is obvious here. It is much later, probably in some bad weather, when you are trying to rip a magazine out to correct a double feed while taking incoming. The beauty of this isn’t on the range when the gun is new. This gives you a lot of purchase on the magazine, easily half a thumb pad. Instead of a flat based magazine, the APX features a triangular cut out in the frame, with a large triangle on the magazine that fills it. The last really distinctive feature of the APX series I was happy to see also retained by the Centurion and Compact. We haven’t really seen Beretta move that direction yet, but the options do exist. It would make sense that we see conversion kits to Centurion and Compact size, to save the APX owners some coins on a new gun. When the APX first arrived, you had the option to buy different colored grips for $50. For ATF purposes, that makes it the gun, and the rest of the APX parts. The trigger group is one big piece and is the serialized part. It is a bit more involved than the SIG P320 family for removal, but it functions the same. The third thing that really makes the APX stand out is its chassis system. Again, both new models share this feature. As fans of the Colt Gold Cup know, it really does work. The width actually does help the trigger feel lighter since your leverage is higher. And is another feature people pay to upgrade on other guns. While I won’t say a flat face is any better than a curved for performance, it does look cool. It has a safety in the middle similar to other polymer guns, with the flat face many prefer. The second distinctive feature is the flat-faced, and wide trigger. While the slide has been shortened for the Centurion and Compact to 3.7 inches, from 4.25 on the full-size model. The overall effect is something you would pay a lot to have done to your Glock, but ready out of the box. The points aren’t sharp, but they are certainly grippy. Designed with the worst-case scenario in mind, the geometry does make the slide hard to miss when you try to rack it. The most distinctive feature of the APX family is the slide serrations, dubbed by my friend Eric Poole as the “Toblerone slide.” With its jagged edges, it does resemble the legendary Swiss chocolate bar. It has become something of a dark horse contender, but one that is still worthy of your attention. That was a lot of polymer for one year to handle, and the APX kind of got lost in the mix. ![]() Two months after the M&P 2.0, one month after the SIG P320 won the Army contract and just a few months before the SIG X5 and Glock Generation 5 release. So for whatever reason, the APX was unveiled in February of 2017. After all, they had attempted to submit the M9A3 into the MHS trials, as well as the Joint Pistol Solicitation before that. While the APX was not Beretta’s first foray into the polymer market, it was the first serious change-up in quite some time. ![]()

![]() ![]() An internet connection isn't required to play Mortal Kombat 1, but your PC must be connected to the internet to experience specific modes and features ( multiplayer, downloading DLC). The last game to be released was Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate in 2020, and now fans prepare for the release of Mortal Kombat 12 which is planned for April 2023 and should be available on PlayStation. Current listings on eBay have the codes set anywhere from 200 to 500. Although it's uncertain if the fighting game will have mouse-and keyboard support, previous series iterations suggest that it's probable. The gore-hounds over at Netherealm have dropped a very short teaser for the yet to be revealed 12th entry in the long-running Mortal Kombat franchise, and for the second time, it seems to hint at the universe being rebooted or having the timeline reset. Those diehard Mortal Kombat fans might have to open their wallets quite a bit to ensure they have a copy of the beta test.

Jackson started his career in regional theatres. He suffered from alcoholism in the past and he has been sober since 2013. The couple welcomed fraternal twins to the world, a son and a daughter, in September 2014. They announced their engagement in February 2014 and got married in Ensino, California in September 2014. In October 2013, he announced being in a relationship with actor Jason Landau. They announced their plans to divorce in July 2013 and officially divorced in September 2013. He had dated physicist Monte Lalpton in 2000 and they got married on September 3, 2011, in New York City. Jackson has been vocal for LGBT+ rights and his homosexuality. It all changed, however, when the September 11 attacks happened which motivated him to move to New York quickly and pursue his dreams of becoming an actor. He wanted to work in Broadway the moment he heard about it but had plans to work his way to it. He would eventually earn his Equity card from his growing theatre experience.

This is because the equations become M(1) = 1+(2/2)*N(0) For example, when n=2 the answer should be M(1) = 4, I believe. I actually only want the value of M(n-1).

![]() ![]() However, only the Huli Jing can transcend into celestial beings. Both Kitsune and Huli Jing can be morally ambiguous and have myths that portray them as both good and evil.Kitsune, on the other hand, have a more feral appearance – their hands are human but with long and sharp claws, their feet are an amalgam of fox and human features, and a softer fur coat. Most depictions portray the Huli Jing with longer tails, human feet, fox paws instead of hands, fox ears, and a denser and coarser fur.The Huli Jing also acquire new abilities with age, however, they are inherently magical spirits regardless of their age. In Japanese mythology, Kitsune are much closer to being actual foxes that simply age, grow extra tails, and become more magical with time.They are similar but they are not the same. They are also the type of myths that inspired the Japanese Kitsune nine-tailed foxes and the Korean Kumiho spirits. ![]() Those myths of malevolent Huli Jing tend to be more popular today. Even when the fox worship was outlawed during the Song dynasty, the cult of the Huli Jing still persisted.Īt the same time, many other myths portray those same magical foxes as evil beings who prey on people’s lives. These “fox demons” would only turn against people when they were mistreated. In myths from that age, the Huli Jing were mostly benevolent natural spirits that helped people whenever they were treated well. There was even a saying at the time that Where there is no fox demon, no village can be established. People made offerings of food and drinks to fox shrines built in their own homes, asking for favors. For example, during the Tang dynasty – often viewed as the Golden Age of Chinese arts and culture, fox spirit worship was quite common. Or, more accurately – depending on which period of Chinese history you’re looking at. Instead, it’s only those nine-tailed foxes that self-cultivate and draw their power from nature that will ascend to the heavens.Įssentially, we are the Huli Jing’s junk food – delicious yet unhealthy. So, Huli Jing that prey on people will likely never become part of the celestial realm. The trick is that this energy needs to come from nature and not from human beings. Most importantly, by consuming enough life essence, a Huli Jing can one day transcend into a heavenly being. These nine-tailed foxes are also said to possess great intelligence and to know a lot of things about the natural and celestial realms. They can be killed, however, be it with standard human weapons or by dogs – their biggest enemies. Huli Jing are also technically immortal, meaning that they can’t die from old age. Granted, that “bidding” is usually to copulate with the Huli Jing so she can steal your life force. According to some myths, the Huli Jing needs to put a human skull on its fox head before it can transform into a human but not all myths include this ritual.Īnother power these fox spirits have is to charm people to do their bidding. At 50 years of age, a Huli Jing can transform into a man or an older woman and at age 100 – into a beautiful young woman. ![]() What’s also curious is that the Huli Jing needs to age a little before it can learn to shapeshift into a human. Yet, there are myths of Huli Jing also transforming into older women or men too. This just seems to be the form that best suits their goals of acquiring life essence. These magical fox spirits can transform into anything they want, however, they most commonly transform into beautiful, young women. The aforementioned shapeshifting is the Huli Jing’s bread and butter. In that way, the Huli Jing are not dissimilar to Europe’s fairy folk – when treated well, they are often benevolent, but when they are mistreated they can turn violent. There are multiple legends in Chinese mythology that show Huli Jing helping people or themselves being the victims of humanity’s cruelty. ![]() A Huli Jing can have various motivations to do something like that but the main one is rather malevolent – to drain the victim’s life essence, usually in the middle of a sexual act.Īt the same time, the Huli Jing can be perfectly nice and amicable. They are most famous for their shapeshifting prowess, however, as well as their habit of seducing young men while transformed as beautiful maidens. Usually portrayed as beautiful foxes with nine fluffy tails, the Huli Jing are magical creatures with a vast array of abilities. Like many other Chinese mythological creatures and like the fairies in European mythologies, the Huli Jing have a rather mixed relationship with the world of men. Huli Jing literally translates as fox spirit. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a result, the college’s president, a venerated yet utterly Machiavellian figure, scapegoats him.

Invisible Man is not only a great triumph of storytelling and characterization it is a profound and uncompromising interpretation of the Negro's anomalous position in American society.Īn idealistic young man strives to make his way among the like-minded of his own Black community and the larger white world beyond only to experience cascading disillusionment in both. With them he becomes involved in an amazing series of adventures, in which he is sometimes befriended but more often deceived and betrayed-as much by himself and his own illusions as by the duplicity of the blindness of others. The many people that the hero meets in the course of his wanderings are remarkably various, complex and significant. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.Īfter a brief prologue, the story begins with a terrifying experience of the hero's high school days, moves quickly to the campus of a Southern Negro college and then to New York's Harlem, where most of the action takes place. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching-yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places.
