![]() Scott Kelly’s saga is a deeply absorbing and vivid look at a year in space and the many trials and rigors of living weightless inside a football field-sized machine traveling at 17,000 miles per hour. We feel as though we’re right there with him. USA Todayįor space junkies, it’s absolutely required reading. And it’s inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him. Kelly’s account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. Endurance, with its honest, gritty descriptions of an unimaginable life, a year off Earth, is as close as most readers will come to making that voyage themselves. Kelly brings life in space alive-the wonder and awe of it, and also the jagged edges, the rough parts of living in confined quarters in an alien element, far from everything familiar and beloved. is a memoir of the right stuff that will hypnotize any space geek. ![]() Jaroslav Kalfar, The New York Times Book Review It is easy to imagine future generations of explorers and daredevils harnessing the lessons and truths within the pages of ‘Endurance’ as the blueprints for their own trips into the unknown. pulls back the curtain separating the myth of the astronaut from its human realities. “The descriptions of Kelly’s comradeship with his Russian colleagues are easily the most endearing parts of the book, and provide some hope in dire geopolitical times…Behind the imposing spacesuit and perfect smile is a three-dimensional person, and Endurance offers brilliant insight into the human aspect of space travel by paying equal attention to the origin story as to its climax among the stars.” - New York TimesĬaptivating, charming. I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THE SPACE PROGRAM FROM A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE." I REALLY LIKE THE FACTD THAT THE AUTHOR NARRATES THE AUDIOBOOK. In Endurance, we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the infinite wonder of the galaxy. Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and determination resonate throughout, as he recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful inspiration that sparked his astounding career, and as he makes clear his belief that Mars will be the next, ultimately challenging, step in spaceflight. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both life-threatening and mundane: the devastating effects on the body the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth the catastrophic risks of colliding with space junk and the still more haunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike at home-an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on a previous mission, his twin brother's wife, American Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly hostile to human life. ![]() The veteran of four spaceflights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. ![]() A stunning, personal memoir from the astronaut and modern-day hero who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station-a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. ![]() ![]() Just go to Settings -> advanced -> low-level -> pref.vpn.

This means if you get 400-1800 damage based on your level in between 5 seconds the passive with the shield gets activated. THe good thing about this item is that it gives you a huge shield aswell as 30% tenacity if u get bursted. You get 50% base attack damage as bonus attack damage and 450 HP. It has an active whith a empowerd autoattack u can use it aswell to cancel a autoattack. ![]() U should by this as one of your last items because you need a lot of HP before it gets really usefull. Enemys or minions behind your target while get damaged aswell by the onhit effect. You do more damage based on your max HP as a onhit effect on each autoattack. Titanic hydra is very expensive but u get alot of tankiness and more damage the more hp you have. This item is pretty good for you teammates that do AD damage. The enemy loses 4% for each attack you hit on him till a maximum of 24% after 6 hits. The second passive gives you armor penetration which gets increased the more damage you do to your enemy. You get 60 movementspeed after a kill or a assist if the enemy is marked whith the second passive of the item, while u only get 20 movementspeed on a autoattack. This is very helpfull to chase down enemys. The passive is pretty good too u get more movementspeed after a autoattack. In lategame it is often good to change to a tank jungle item as soon as you hit fullbuild because u need the tankiness especially if you only go for tank items after this one.īlack cleaver gives a lot of good stats like 40AD 20% cooldown reduction and 400 HP more. The warrior enhancement is good for high damage which helps you to nuke the enemys away. U do 28-164 damage on champions based on your level and you steal 20% movementspeed for 2 seconds, that means u get 20% movementspeed while he looses 20% for 2 seconds. With this smite enhancement you can smite champions aswell. ![]() With stalkers blade warrior you get 60 AD and 10% cooldownreduction aswell as a better version of smite. If u dont need the refillable potion anymore u can sell it for 60 gold, i definetly prefer the refillable potion. 3 pots heal you for 450 HP and the refillable after one back heals you overall for 500 HP. As soon as you hit the base one time and refilled your refillable potion its already more worth than the 3 base potions. The normal pots regenerate 150 HP over 15 seconds and the refillable regenerates 125 Hp over 12 seconds so it has a bit higher chance to save u from a ignite. Normal health pots would give you 150 HP but they would be gone after using. The refillable potion gives you 2 charges which restore 125 HP each and refill as soon as you hit the base. Now lets talk about the potions for the jungle. The machete is very important for all autoattack based junglers because u need it to build the higher jungleitems, and dont forget smite or you wont be able to buy the jungleitems. Both items give you bonus exp per junglecamp. I would favour the machete because u get 10% lifesteal and 35 bonus damage on your autoattacks. If machete or talisman depends on the jungler. You can enhance your smite with jungleitems but more of that down below.Īs jungler you need to decide for a jungleritem at the start. You should always have a smite charge left over if baron or drake is up so you can secure them. And you need the additional experience from the jungleitem to be even usefull in the game as a jungler. You need smite or you cant buy the jungleitem. You also get some HP back which can rly help you if you counterjungle or get counterjungled. You do 390-1000 damage depending on your level on monsters. You cant use it twice in a row because it has a 15second cooldown between charges. If u have 2 charges you should smite something because you just waste time not using it. It has a 90 second cooldown and can have up to 2 charges. You need to take smite with you on every jungler. U got a dash with Rek´sai but you should still take flash on her its just to It´s better to flash to secure a kill or safe your life than beeing greedy and die at the end or let the enemy escape. You can flash over almost every wall in the game. Flash will help you to secure kills or escape dangerous sitations.

So, why do I still use a Google sheets budgeting template? ![]() ![]() Next up are numbers, lines, and tick marks. The zero point can also be a hole or an arrow depending on which type of measuring tape you are using. This is known as the “zero point” and it marks where you should measure from. The most common mark on a measuring tape is the triangle at the very start of the measurement. But never fear, I’m here to break down what they all mean! Triangle Measuring tapes have all sorts of symbols and marks that can seem confusing. Just like millimeters and centimeters, you may find thicker lines indicating every half or full-meter measurement.These represent your meter measurements and should be fairly easy to pick out amongst all the other markings on the ruler.Look for the numbers which are followed by two zeros (00).Reading meters on a metric ruler is just as simple – So if you see a line with a large number 2 next to it, that means it is 20cm long.To make it easy to read, many metric rulers also have long lines for every cm or half-cm.They will have a decimal point after them, with the number before the decimal being your centimeter measurement.So, if you see a line with a large number 5 next to it, that means it is 50mm long.To make reading easier, many metric rulers have larger lines for every tenth of an mm or cm.These will usually run up to 10mm but may go higher depending on the size of your ruler.Look for the numbers on the ruler which have no decimal point after them.Now, let us first understand how to read mm on a tape measure. It’s easier than it looks though – all the units are in multiples of ten and there are only three types: millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), and meters (m). Using a metric tape measure can be intimidating, especially if you’re used to imperial measurements. So, don’t stress over trying to figure out the imperial measurement system – with a few simple steps you can be an expert in no time.For example, if you started at 0 inches and ended at 5 1/8th inches, your total measurement would be 5 1/8 inches.Just place it along the object and wrap it around until the arrow points back at your starting point.To measure something with an Imperial tape measure – Now that you’ve mastered how to read imperial units, let’s talk about how to use a tape measure with the imperial system. Finally, the other symbols you’ll see on a tape measure are an arrow (to indicate the start of the measurement) and pica marks (which represent 12 inches – so that’s one foot).Those fractions represent “parts” of one inch and are expressed as 1/16th, 1/8th, 1/4th, and so on.Then you’ll see smaller numbers spaced out in order with fractions next to some of them.The biggest number is always going to be your main unit of measurement, which is usually inches or feet.First off, let’s begin with identifying what all those little numbers and symbols mean.It can seem like a daunting task but trust me – you CAN easily read an Imperial tape measure! ![]() We’ve all been there – staring at a massive imperial tape measure, trying to make sense of the different units of measurement that are printed on it. ![]() |
