![]() However, if the same weapon's barrel is "cut down" (shortened), as is common in cavalry and jungle-combat adapted versions, the bullet would often leave the barrel before the powder was completely consumed, resulting in a bright flash from the muzzle. A beneficial side effect of the long barrel is that the propellant is completely burned before the bullet leaves the barrel, usually resulting only in a puff of smoke from the muzzle. ![]() ![]() Pre-20th century rifle designs tended to have longer barrels than modern rifles. While the former is intended to reduce visible flash, a muzzle brake is designed to reduce recoil inherent to large cartridges and typically does not reduce visible flash. Ī flash suppressor is different from a muzzle brake, although they are typically mounted in the same position and sometimes confused with each other. Contrary to popular belief, it is only a minor secondary benefit if a flash suppressor reduces the intensity of the flash visible to the enemy. Its primary intent is to reduce the chances that the shooter will be blinded in low-light shooting conditions. Detail of the birdcage-type flash suppressor on a SIG SG 550Ī flash suppressor, also known as a flash guard, flash eliminator, flash hider, or flash cone, is a muzzle device attached to the muzzle of a rifle that reduces its visible signature while firing by cooling or dispersing the burning gases that exit the muzzle, a phenomenon typical of carbine-length weapons.

![]() It also has a self timer on the front for those special awkward “has it taken the shot yet?” group portrait moments.Ī tripod mount, ISO selector and film rewind button are underneath the camera along with the battery cover. It has a leaf shutter so it flash syncs at all speeds. The Demi also has a PC sync for flash usage on the side, and a cold shoe on the top of the camera. The light meter “eye” is on the body above the lens, so if a filter is used when the auto aperture mode is selected an adjustment needs to be made. ![]() There is a filter exposure compensator on the lens barrel. The Canon Demi EE17 takes the old Mercury PX625 stye batteries, so with modern batteries the meter will be out a bit based on the charge of the battery anyway. It always seems to be about one stop off from my guestimated exposure. It does have an “auto” aperture mode, but I’ve never really trusted the meter. Shutter speeds go from 1/500 down to bulb – the shutter release button is the standard type with a screw in shutter release mount so long exposures are possible.Īperture is selected on the face of the lens. One thing I would have liked would be a depth of field scale on the lens near the aperture and focus distance indicator, but I can live without it. The Canon Demi EE17 has both metres and feet to set the focus printed on the barrel of the lens – no person/people/tree/mountain indicators here (although they do make an appearance in the viewfinder). Selecting the focus distance and shutter speed on the lens barrel is straight forward. But then it’s a point and shoot, not an SLR. If I’m lining up a shot where I’m really highlighting symmetry and want say, a line running down the exact centre of the image, its a little off in the final shot. The only issue i’ve found is that like a lot of rangefinders the viewfinder is slightly offset to the lens. Like most half frame cameras it has a portrait oriented viewfinder with a generous amount of space around the frame lines. The Canon Demi EE17 is a fantastic camera to use. The light seal foam in mine has long disappeared and I might replace it one day, but I haven’t had any leaks yet after putting around 20 or 30 rolls of film through it. Fiddly job, but in the end it looks great and gets a lot of comments from curious street portrait victims-to-be. I’d recently read a post online that gave detailed instructions on how to wood veneer a camera, so I decided to give it a go. The only drawback was that in fixing it I had torn the black leatherette. Fairly simple machine on the inside, and even my uncoordinated banana fingers were able to fix it with relative ease – good to know when shooting with an almost 60 year old camera. A bit of googling and 5 minutes later I had downloaded the service manual for it and decided to operate myself. I decided this camera is too beautiful to be left broken, but the quotes for inspection or repair were all hideously expensive. That being said, the shutter on mine jammed after a few rolls and I was given a refund by the seller without having to send it back (love buying from Japanese camera sellers). Pocketable, although it may cause unsightly bulges in skinny jeans.īuild quality is great. Standard Demi’s with the f/2.8 lens are slightly slimmer and smaller and the lens only sticks out about half as much. ![]() The Canon Demi EE17 is similar in size to a Canon QL17 GIII or Olympus MJU. I imagine it would be right at home on a table outside a cafe in Italy, with a Vespa parked nearby and a beautiful woman in a flowing dress with big sunglasses sitting opposite, blowing cigarette smoke disdainfully into the air. The EE17 has a nice weight – not chunky heavy, not elcheapo light, just a reassuring, comfortable weight. Soft curves of dulled aluminium, with black leatherette and a matching black centre body “core”. It has a stylish, 1960s Italian beauty to it. When the Canon Demi EE17 arrived, my first impression was how stunningly beautiful it is. Yet another camera to add to the collection. I quickly found one in Japan on ebay for $60 US. After perusing the range of those available, I settled on a Canon Demi EE17. Selenium meters would not be tolerated either, and it had to be good looking, reasonably priced and take decent photos.After a bit of web research and ebay browsing, I decided to take a chance on a half frame camera. I had been looking for a cheap 35mm camera that could be used manually without batteries, and manual ISO selection was a must.

Been some big fights on the other side of the map, I let some dudes use my space, then picked up a strategic resource from a rival after they thumped him. So I have plenty of space to expand to without betraying my pacifist ways. Grabbed a nice big desert planet between the purgers, their split off systems, and a former livestock state (space nomads colonized in my space, then vassalled to me, giving me desert colonists), which gives me access to some other habitables to the north, and the former livestock species vassalled to me. I'm gonna see how the multi-system former purger state fairs before I try to get them signed up for the Federation. My Fed mates keep wanting to sign up these dumb single system states, its like I don't want to wait another 10 years for the presidency just because we signed up a former mixed livestock/purger city state. I guess some of them have seen the error of their ways. During our second war against the purgers 10 years later, after they war against their former systems, we liberate half their systems and they reform to a Xenophile Pacifist Spiritualist (my ethos) named after one of the empires they ate. If I had picked the third species first, I could have saved them as well, but two out of three livestock species still live in the galaxy. Due to 10 year cool down, we are unable to rescue a third species before they are processed. We liberate two mixed cattle/purger planets, but the rest of the planets get processed before the war ends. My fleet is weaker then the purgers, but the fleet follow button is working, so coordinated federation was awesome. And unfortunately i can't see many ways to fix that with a tall empire until i can start spamming habitats.Ĭontinuing my Federation game, so my second go at the presidency, I lead our glorious Federation in to battle against the fanatical purging Mathan Silencers. it's enough to beat single races, or 2 at most (during my expansion war another neighbour attacked me.managed to pull back, kill his fleet at which point he surrendered with mutually no demands), but a Crisis or Federation, let alone the monster FE near me, would crush me. However, as expected my naval cap is perilously low. It has helped that i got lucky with research planets.between that, Discovery and the very low Unity/Research requirements for low planet/Pop empires, i'm advancing a lot faster than i would expect, and most neighbours are Inferior to my tech level. I just beat ones and forced them to cleanse 2 planets to give me more room for Outposts to expand my borders. I have 3 worlds and 4 frontier outposts, and am slightly more powerful than standard empires near me. I wanted to test going tall, and tbh having zero expansion room to the sides has forced much of that anyway. In my game (the one from above with the 2 FE neighbours), so far so good. Are you buddies with Space Hitler or something? So I've got this Federation with my best mates to the south of me but everyone seems to hate them and won't join us :(Įven a state we liberated from a rival empire hates them so much they have no chance of joining. Kinda odd being this far in without a fleet, time to fix that. I have had rival neighbors the entire time, a couple defensive pacts before I was ready to go fed has kept me safe. Sorry dudes, don't get ate too fast, it is going to be another 15 years or so before I actually am ready to fight! (I haven't had a single fight other then random corvette loss and losing a single outpost to pirates, I haven't even taken out the pirate bases because I need to get point defense first). So the snowballing fanatic purifier to my north is crunching on a couple of planets they captured from another empire, my mates are all up for a war of liberation, but it is probably going to take me until I get the presidency back in 2259 before I actual field any sort of a fleet (50 shielded cheap corvettes is my fleet at 2245). Handed over the presidency with 17 corvettes, now filling in the massive chunk of territory I claimed (including save scrubbing to colony block my own federation mates, sorry dudes, that is holy realm). Federation now has 4 members and a half dozen associations. ![]() ![]() My xenophile spiritualist pacifists started a federation at 2219 on a big map with 25 empires, with my tiny 7 corvette fleet.

While the beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean, the bed covering is very thin. The outlets nearby were very nice, but the food options were limited. My kids were so tired that they asked to leave early. We listened to the door of the microwave slamming and the beeping all night and all morning, along with the screaming children in the hallways at 7am. Pack your earplugs and white noise machines! We had a room across from the microwave and it was a nightmare. There was so much yelling and loud cell-phone talking happening in the hallways until well after 1am. We felt like we had been at the waterpark for hours, but when we got back to our room it had only been an hour! We drove to Friendly’s for dinner as I was not about to spend $100 for gross food. There is a ledge for parents which was awesome, except for when the guest standing on the ledge yelling for her kids was towering over me. The small child swimming area is small and to get to the slides your child has to walk around guests seated along the pool. We were overwhelmed by the amount of people and underwhelmed by the attractions. We watched a parent allow her toddler pee on the walkway. The lazy river was more like bumper cars with floaties. There were no available chairs to place our things. As we were eating, we got the text that our room was ready so we brought our stuff in and got ready for the water park.

Some idea of the potential of the tool can be compiled from factory presets, of which a huge amount is recorded, but they do not cover the whole range of its capabilities. Synclavier – The possibilities of sound formation of a virtual instrument are almost endless, but, of course, a lot of work needs to be done to implement them. The virtual model perfectly combines warm musical tones accurately reproduced with TAE technology with a full range of innovative features SEM – software emulation of one of the most famous synthesizers of the Oberheim brand – SEM.

In 1972, the team was joined by Japanese paleontologists Tokio Shikama and Hiroyuki Otsuka for the second excavation, and the remaining limb bones were excavated. Chao-Chi Lin, Chang-Wu Pan, and Chun-Mu Chen (a well-known fossil collector from Zuojhen) to conduct the first excavation in Zuojhen to excavate rhinoceros fossils including teeth and limb bones, but some limb bones were still preserved in the original stratum. In December 1971, a team was formed by Taiwan Provincial Museum, including Prof. Chao-Chi Lin of National Taiwan University. Pan and Chen investigated where the rhinoceros teeth were found and speculated that the fossils had been washed out of the mudrock layer along the riverbed, and that there might be remaining rhinoceros fossils in the rock layer. In 1971, when the fossil collector Chang-Wu Pan visited Zuojhen, he received several fossilized rhinoceros teeth from a local elementary school student, Shih-Ching Chen, who had found them in the riverbed of Cailiao River. In 1942, Hayasaka pointed out that in addition to Daxi, there were other sites like Dakeng (present-day Dakeng, Beitun District, Taichung City), Zuojhenzhuang (present-day Zuojhen District, Tainan City) and Qihou (present-day Qijin District, Kaohsiung City) are all suspected to have records of new fossil species of Rhinoceros. ![]() A few years later, Ichiro Hayasaka of Taihoku Imperial University also rediscovered a more complete mandible near the site of Sato's specimen. The earliest record of rhino fossils in Taiwan dates back to 1926, when Sato collected mandibular bone and molar from Neizha of Daxi Street (present-day Daxi District, Taoyuan City). It was declared the type species of the new genus Nesorhinus in 2021. While no bones from any hominin were reported from the site, over 50 stone tools found in context with the rhinoceros provided direct evidence for human activities at the site. The authors of the study found butchery marks on the bones of the ribs, metacarpals and both humeri suggesting that the rhino had been butchered by early humans or hominins. A 2018 study placed the date of the rhino fossil at around 709,000 years old (dating to the early Middle Pleistocene) after the rhino's tooth enamel was subjected to electron spin resonance dating. philippinensis was unearthed in Rizal, Kalinga along with 57 stone tools in 2014. The specimen had a length of 12.07 centimeters (4.75 in), width of 6.87 centimeters (2.70 in), and a thickness of 9.47 centimeters (3.73 in). The specimen was unearthed from an ash deposit produced by the volcano called the Guadalupe Formation. These bones were lost and he did not provide for a holotype. Nesorhinus philippinensis was first described by Gustav Heinrich Ralph von Koenigswald in 1956 as Rhinoceros philippinensis based on fossil teeth that were excavated in Cagayan province of Luzon island the Philippines in 1936. ![]() It contains two species, Nesorhinus philippinensis (formerly Rhinoceros philippinensis) from Luzon, Philippines and Nesorhinus hayasakai (formerly Rhinoceros sinensis hayasakai) from Taiwan.
