So we'd have 50 caliber machine guns, we can see that there's one that is sticking out the window. “Right now we're in the, the aft part of the airplane, basically the defensive area of the airplane. After acquiring the plane, the CAF ended up restoring the plane to its original configuration. “They ended up using it throughout the war to transport people and cargo through the five different factories that were building the B-24 during World War II, and they also used it as a flying testbed," Fenelon said.Īfter that, it went to Mexico, where it was used as an executive aircraft for a Mexican oil company, which is where the CAF found it. The right main landing gear, the brakes locked up, pulled the airplane off to the side off the runway, the gear folded, the nose gear folded, crunched the bomb bay," Fenelon said.ĭespite never making to combat, the Diamond Lil still saw service in the war. “There were some training that was going on out in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two TWA pilots were doing some takeoffs and landings to get proficient in the airplane. That didn’t end up happening, as the plane was involved in an accident. But the problem was, the Germans came into France and kind of ruined the plans," Fenelon said. “It was originally supposed to go to France. Among the other planes, it operates the last flying B-24 Liberator, the “Diamond Lil,” and “Fifi,” one of only two airworthy B-29 Superfortresses - the same kind of plane that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan.īrian Fenelon, an Albany native and former Southwest Airlines pilot, says the history of this particular B-24 is convoluted. The non-profit is devoted to restoring and preserving historic aircraft, with bases across the United States. That’s the engine of a PT-17 Stearman, one of the planes on display as part of the Commemorative Air Force event. History was on display at Albany International Airport over the weekend, with the runways and skies hosting World War II-era aircraft. I wasn’t a big fan of flying, but extra legroom and a glass of merlot-or three-went a long way toward easing my anxiety. You clearly need to be chaperoned for your own safety.”Īt least she upgraded our tickets. “I,” she finally said, “am definitely coming with you. Her look was eloquent enough, making me feel like a little kid with a bad report card. “I…might have called her mother an asshole.”Ĭaitlin stared at me. Bodyguard, assassin, quite a skilled bounty hunter, and an elite member of the Order of Chainmen. I just assumed she was Nadine’s bodyguard or something.” It’s very cute that you pretend you don’t look at other women, but I’d think all that black leather would stick in your memory a bit.” You were talking to her when we left the conference room. “I heard she had a daughter,” I said, “I’ve never met her, though.”Ĭaitlin tilted her head at me. How one of her lackeys had cut our reunion short, telling her that her kid was about to go on some kind of a hunt. I thought back to Nadine, visiting me at Eisenberg. And considering the encounter you just had with her and her daughter-” Yes, I could make a courtesy call, but Royce’s protection only counts for so much these days. “Give me ten minutes to rearrange a few meetings, and I’ll come with you. The Court of Night-Blooming Flowers could get a little territorial even at the best of times. I’d just asked her if she could call Royce and guarantee I wouldn’t have any trouble from the locals. Bringing Caitlin along for the ride hadn’t been my original plan. Caitlin sat next to me, one leg primly crossed over the other while she tapped out emails on her phone. Two hours later I was nestled in a blue vinyl seat on an American Airlines flight, traveling first class, winging it east over a blanket of white-silver clouds. Just because you didn’t take your seat on the Commission don’t mean they won’t assume otherwise.” “I’ll round everybody up and find a cozy place to lay low in the meantime. “Fine.” Jennifer relented with a frustrated sigh. “Didn’t ask you, but thanks for the vote of confidence.” Standing behind us, Yong cleared his throat. How about, before this bomb really goes off, you give me a chance to snip the fuse?” Metro’s on red alert, and they’re gonna be crawling up all of our asses, looking to lock up anybody they can get their hands on. I saw the bodies lined up on the sidewalk. “No argument here, but you heard what Angelo’s soldiers pulled this morning. “Still rather put two bullets in him,” Jennifer said. If I can show him how far off the rails his kid’s gone, he might yank Angelo’s leash for us.” So I’ll go, I’ll be nice and friendly, and we’ll talk business. “Okay, so I might have pissed Angelo off a little,” I said. “Maybe you’re forgettin’ how they framed you for murder.” “Talk to him,” Jennifer echoed, her voice flat. You don’t keep the throne for over forty years by being sloppy. On the other hand, his dad Dominic has been running the Chicago underworld since the seventies. Angelo’s a hothead who wants to play big shot. “I think this whole war is some stupid, reckless bullshit instigated by a stupid, reckless punk with a trust fund. “You think he’s going behind the don’s back?” But that doesn’t mean the old man signed off on it.” He’s looking to step up and prove himself to his old man. “I met Angelo Mancuso back in Chicago,” I said. These abilities are not new to the CG world but are new to Maxon’s offering. Depth of Optionsįor this release, most of the option improvements have been incremental but welcome such as the new polygon modeling pen and improved sculpting. I rarely say this about 3D programs, but the use of these new features is easy, and even fun. CINEMA 4D r16 has now assembled and integrated these tools, giving the filmmakers tremendous ease in creating virtual environments. Another tool lets users quickly create complete interiors for buildings with click-and-drag efficiency, while another creates dynamically controlled spiral staircases. That may not sound too exciting, but users create incredible tools when they have the resources.įor example, one of these user developed tools creates complex, detailed, and animatable windows that can be totally resized, modified, and controlled with simple sliders. One thing that I’ve enjoyed with CINEMA 4D over the years is the accessibility the program grants to users so average folks can create new functions for the program. There are some other significant inclusions in this update for filmmakers. Staircase elements are controlled with sliders I’ve used several motion tracking softwares over the years and the quality and ease-of-use for this tool is just super. R16 offers easy to use tools for including/excluding tracking points, masking footage elements and then adjusting everything over time. Motion tracking is done in two steps: the 2D track, which creates markers on the 2D footage, and then a 3D reconstruction is built using that information. Presentation of the footage can be dynamically controlled for sampling, brightness, and scale, while in and out points of the footage can be manually modified. The actual motion tracking function adjusts CINEMA 4D’s document settings to match footage frame count, FPS, and resolution. When finished, the CG animation will match exactly to your live footage, but then you can use your preferred assembly package for compositing – or simply use the final rendered footage from CINEMA 4D, if it is close enough for your needs. While programs like After Effects also have motion tracking, there are some creative efficiencies realized when working with the footage in CINEMA 4D. Motion tracking is easy to use with the ability to remain totally within CINEMA, but still providing a round-robin option with footage to your video editing package of choice if desired. In this update, full motion tracking has been added that includes lens and focal length calculations as well–FROM live footage! You can also enter known values for camera hardware as well as dimensions for specific locations in the footage to make the CG match even tighter. In the last release of CINEMA 4D, Maxon created the ability to drop in photo clean-plates that the software would then calculate lens size and focal length FROM, so that the CG camera would match the real camera. The ongoing concern of engaging CG/3D into a film environment is to match the pretend with the real. Suffice to say that this update is the most aggressive expansion CINEMA 4D has had in some time. If your day-job includes 3D for things other than film, CINEMA 4D has some new additions that will make you swoon. Since we are microfilmmakers, there are many new features that I won’t discuss because they relate to other industries such as packaging design. (As usual, there are industry focused versions that offer a reduced price entry point for a correspondingly reduced feature set.) Consequently, all the toys and tools are available to users who get the full Studio version. This review is based upon the full CINEMA 4D Studio Release 16. Many of the new features can be engaged with presets and helpers that take guesswork out of the mix and let filmmakers concentrate on production. This nexus has now produced a long list of improvements that can easily be capitalized on by microfilmmakers who desire to up their game without slowing production down or having to retrain for weeks in order to utilize a new tool set. Maxon has its feet firmly planted in two worlds: television motion graphics and cinematic studios. The CINEMA 4D R16 update, coupled with its integration into Adobe’s After Effects, may be the final straw that could convince you to embrace exploring new story telling potential. If you haven’t entered the digital realm for augmenting your story telling, then this release is worth a long look. Microfilmmakers that have elected to pursue CG capabilities with CINEMA 4D will welcome this latest release by MAXON. Pricing: Studio Version: New $3,695 Upgrade $995 (Reduced feature options are available with reduced cost) Description: Full featured modeling, texturing, rendering/animation software With this in mind, the most efficient way to improve may be to strengthen the weakest links of a roster, not to target brand-name stars as saviors. That’s one reason that a successful MLB team rarely allocates more than 16 percent of its payroll to one player. While it’s possible to win with a stars-and-scrubs approach, that’s inherently riskier, given that one injury can derail a club’s entire season. The same is true for the light-hitting starting shortstop and the back-of-the-rotation starting pitcher. A slugger hits only once every turn through a lineup, an ace pitcher pitches once every five days. Baseball, by rule and nature, spreads around opportunity more uniformly. While it’s unclear whether the Nationals still want to compete for Harper, they don’t need him to improve over last season.īaseball is a weak-link sport, meaning that the quality of the minor contributors on a team is more important than in a sport like basketball, where star power is paramount. They have improved themselves in a National League East where every team - save for the Miami Marlins - seems intent on trying to dramatically improve this offseason.Īfter the Nationals finished 82-80 last season, FanGraphs projects them as the sixth-best team in the majors at the moment - the best team in the division - with a 91-71 forecasted record. But according to some forecasts, they are already better without him. It wasn’t clear if the Nationals would be able to compete without Harper. Rather than allocating vast resources to one free agent superstar, the Nationals made smaller moves to shore up their weak spots, signing starting pitcher Patrick Corbin on Tuesday to bolster their rotation and adding two catchers earlier in the offseason.

He will face two big tasks - corralling his emotions, and stepping into the batter's box against longtime teammate and three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer. Tuesday night, Harper will return to Washington for the first time in a major league uniform other than that of the Nationals. The second offer was for more years but less money, sending Harper down the path that would eventually lead to his 13-year, $330 million deal with the Phillies at the end of February. We can work off that," thinking it was just the start of negotiations.īut, with Harper's free agency dragging on without any other teams stepping up big, the next offer from the Nationals would not come for more than three months. Harper, according to the Post, said his thinking at the time was, "All right, cool. The Nationals' offer: 10 years, $300 million, including deferred money. When the rain persisted and the game was called in the eighth inning, Harper met wife Kayla in a hallway and together they opened the envelope. Harper, with the game not yet called, declined to open it right away, stuffing it into his pocket. The Lerners told Harper how much they wanted him to remain a National, and handed the star outfielder an envelope. He was instead greeted by the team's owners, Ted Lerner and son Mark Lerner.

They’re collected in little drop downs so you don’t have to load a whole new set each time you change looks. Many higher-priced photo editors have a very few number of presets, but for $20 with CameraBag you get an enormous collection of presets. If you don’t like the hover over previews for the adjustments, you can turn that off in the menus. It is lightning fast in showing you the previews, so it’s very easy to skip past ones that are of no interest until you find the look you desire. With the Presets tab selected and an image on screen, as you slide over the different preset names, you’ll see a very large thumbnail pop out in the top right showing you how that preset will work on your photo. Let’s look at the Presets first because it will make it a bit easier to explain the interface. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end. So far it sounds like every other photo-editing app, other than the fact that the text and tabs are vertical rather than horizontal.

"As the name indicates, familial hypercholesterolemia is a family problem," cautions Dr. They periodically need LDL apheresis, a dialysis-like procedure to filter LDL out of the bloodstream. People with homozygous FH don't benefit much from statins and other drugs, which work in part by increasing the body's production of LDL receptors. The goal is an LDL under 100 mg/dL or, if that's not possible, at least a 50% reduction. Adding a drug such as ezetimibe (Zetia), niacin, or colesevelam (WelChol) can cut LDL even further. Controlling blood pressure, exercising, and not smoking are also essential for protecting the heart and blood vessels.Ī cholesterol-lowering statin is the usual starting point for drug therapy. Other cholesterol-cutting foods include beans, oats, soy protein, nuts, and foods or supplements containing plant sterols or stanols. So does eating fish, whole grains, vegetables, and vegetable oils - all good sources of unsaturated fats. It starts with diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes, then extends to cholesterol-reducing drugs.Ĭutting back on foods rich in cholesterol and saturated fat, such as red meat and full-fat dairy products, helps lower LDL.

Total cholesterol above 300 mg/dL (250 mg/dL in children) Your doctor might want to work you up for FH if you have one or more of the following: Instead, they (and their doctors) often think they just have tough-to-treat high cholesterol. Many people with FH don't know they have it. Individuals with FH will pass it on to about half of their children. If untreated, 85% of men and 50% of women with FH will have a heart attack, stroke, or cardiac arrest before age 65. Only about 10% to 20% of people with FH know they have it. Signs of the disease include very high LDL and possibly cholesterol deposits in the tendons or skin. People with it have LDL levels ranging from 400 to 1,000 mg/dL. Homozygous FH affects about one person in a million. They have LDL levels as high as 350 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), three times higher than is generally considered ideal. Heterozygous FH is much more common, affecting about 1 in 500 people, or about 600,000 Americans. Individuals who get a malfunctioning gene from both parents don't have any functioning LDL receptors. Although half their LDL receptors don't work, the other half do. Those who inherit just one copy of the bad gene (from one parent) have what's called heterozygous FH. People with FH have a malfunctioning gene. This allows more LDL to get into artery walls and other undesirable places.Ī single main gene codes for the LDL receptor protein. If these receptors don't work properly, LDL lingers longer in the bloodstream. When a cell needs cholesterol, proteins on its surface called LDL receptors pull in LDL from the bloodstream. One important cholesterol carrier is LDL. To get around this problem, the body packages it with proteins and other fats into a variety of particles that mix easily with blood. Because cholesterol is a waxy substance, it can't dissolve in the watery bloodstream. Food provides some of it your body makes the rest. The cholesterol in your bloodstream comes from two sources. Since the name of the disease is a mouthful, we'll refer to it as FH. This often undetected condition, called familial hypercholesterolemia, can cause an early heart attack, stroke, or premature death. It stems from an inherited error that can send harmful low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol into the stratosphere. More than half a million Americans, though, have a more dangerous type. Most of us with high cholesterol have the garden-variety type brought on by eating too much cholesterol and saturated fat and too few fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
