![]() They all stand apart from the usual psychos and if anything, resemble WWE wrestlers in their looks and names. We get a little person with a Nazi fetish, a pair of hillbilly brothers, a giant and his tiny female sidekick, and miscellaneous thugs. The bloodletting is probably enough to appeal to fans, but the highlight – and what elevates it slightly above his first four films – is the style and creativity he puts into his villains. Heads are lopped off, bodies are impaled, and we even get a briefly entertaining chainsaw battle. Grisly deaths await most of the characters we meet, and thankfully Zombie doesn’t scrimp on the blood and gore. Five go in, most don’t come out, the end. The odds are never in their favor.Īt its core this is Zombie’s take on a direct-to-DVD staple – random people forced to fight for their lives in a contained area while wealthy onlookers watch and wager via pay-per-view – but aside from eliminating the audience and adding his own stylistic touches the film is ultimately nothing more than that core. The only path to freedom is to survive twelve hours as players in this carnage-filled game as a handful of bloodthirsty madmen (and one diminutive and deadly little lady). They’re quickly abducted only to awake in a compound designed for death-dealing and run by a trio of Louis XIV cos-players. Unfortunately for those of us who favored that growth though, Zombie’s latest feature, 31, takes one step back.įive carnies traveling between gigs (and separate from the rest of the troupe) run into trouble when a late night drive on a remote road ends at a trio of creepy scarecrows blocking the road. It’s still basic in many ways, but Zombie put visible effort into the story and design resulting in an enjoyably creative step forward as a writer/director. I say generally because while his first four films ( House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, Halloween, Halloween II) are oppressive, generically-violent, shallow affairs his 2012 release, The Lords of Salem, actually showed visible improvement.

![]() When the Pfizer booster was given following two Pfizer shots, antibody levels rose more than eightfold. Those boosted with Pfizer after two doses of AstraZeneca had antibody levels a month later nearly 25 times higher than controls. In a study published in the Lancet, researchers on the UK-based Cov-Boost trial measured immune responses in nearly 3,000 people who received one of seven Covid-19 boosters or a control jab two to three months after their second dose of either AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccine. – booster shots can dramatically strengthen the body’s immune defences, according to a study that raises hopes of preventing another wave of severe disease driven by the Omicron variant. “Quit today to reduce these risks and start living a healthier life,” WHO added.Īccording to the WHO, as of Thursday, there were 13 378 853 cases worldwide, with 580 045 deaths. “Smokers have a higher risk of getting Coronavirus because they are constantly putting their hands to their lips.”īesides, if they contract the virus, they are at a greater risk of getting a severe case because their lung function is impaired. What we eat and drink can affect our body’s ability to prevent, fight and recover from infections.” “Eating a healthy diet is very important during the COVID-19 pandemic. To maintain a healthy diet, the agency said people should eat a variety of food including fruits and vegetables, limit salt intake, use moderate amounts of fats and oils and cut back on sugar intake.Īlso, avoid hazardous and harmful alcohol use and mothers are advised to breastfeed their babies and young children. “It can reduce high blood pressure, help manage weight and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers – all conditions that can increase susceptibility to COVID-19,” the WHO added. McKay shared his views as part of the #ListenToTheDoctor campaign run by the Health Department on social media to spread awareness about the Coronavirus.Īccording to the World Health Organisation (WHO), regular physical activity is good for your body and mind as millions of people grapple with the infectious disease across the globe. “The flu vaccine will get you that level of protection at least against influenza in case you get infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus,” McKay said. Most importantly, if you have not received your shot of a flu vaccine, get one soon. “Don’t become overweight, keep exercising, try to keep as fit as you can,” the doctor stressed.Īlso, drink a lot of liquids to keep dehydration at bay. ![]() If you’re on blood pressure medication, keep on taking your medication to maintain good blood pressure control,” McKay added.Īccording to the Department of Health, 8 million people are living with HIV in South Africa, 4 million with diabetes, while one in every three in the country suffers from hypertension. “And just making sure that you keep your chronic condition under control if you’re diabetic, make sure your sugar is well controlled. He is also recommending a high dose of vitamin C – a minimum of 1 gram, about 100 milligrams of zinc and magnesium. “This needs to be in high level, not the one that you buy over the counter as part of the combination,” he explained, adding that you need about 50 000 international units of vitamin D. While there is no one specific treatment or preventative measure against COVID-19, a Johannesburg based doctor is advising people to stick to a healthy diet, good rest and exercising within the limits of regulations.Īccording to the general practitioner, Dr Marlin McKay, there is also some evidence that taking supplements such as vitamin D may help with boosting your immune system against the virus. ![]() Please see Sections to the Left to Fine Tune Your Search for Particular items or Use the Search Bar as well !!

TL DR - Your airdrop could be a taxable income event for 2021, don't **** up and ignore the possible ramifications. Sadly it looks like I'll need to pay more $ to my Tax Accountant for some guidance, sigh. ![]() Sorry that I have more questions than answers. There are examples I read of game show contestants, whom receive A NEW CAR !!! and then owe tax on the sticker prices amount, but can't afford to pay that tax, so have to sell it at way below the original sticker price, and end up worse off than if they'd never won the damn car in the first place. Should it come to pass the its price drops after it's opened for trading, then it could come to pass that we'd have been better off - tax-wise - to only buy it and hold for a year (lowest tax rate in cap gains), and not be stuck with the higher income event tax obligation. ( regardless of its value at the year's end ) - I fear this is the case. The risk in this situation, is a case where the markets open (in 2021 we assume), at say $0.05, but then drop to 0.01.ĭoes this mean we owe tax on the Qty x 0.05 due for tax year 2021 ? Which creates some interesting possibilities in minimizing tax exposure and to realize the highest net gain possible. ![]() NOTE: I'm NOT a tax accountant, nor a financial advisor, just a dev-guy. Given that my understanding is correct here. Should you sell it at a higher valuation later on that year, the difference from the initial and captured price - will be the capital gains amount - which is typically taxed at a different rate. It is at that moment, and at the initial market's price, when which you have an earned-income event. My understanding of this situation - at least from the USA/IRS perspective - an airdrop is simple income, that is, once you have "dominion" or control over it with the power to sell it. That is, win (or "earn") a chunk of profit, which is so significant, we must account for it in calculating our tax payments to our government. All gamblers and traders hope to be cursed with a "tax problem." ![]() But these scenarios seem to be the commonly explored use-cases, at least in the marketing materials. So far, I’ve not need to composite in an debris-showering explosion or semi-automatic fire-fight into a corporate video (if only!). I should probably admit right off that bat, that this, a) isn’t really a ‘review’ as such – more my first impressions of noodling around with the software for a bit and b) that my presupposition is that in the day-to-day kind of work that I do, I’m not going to really be able to make the most of the toolset and compositing elements that HitFilm provides. ![]() ![]() Who wants to bet a glut of office Christmas videos will now feature Lightsaber death duels?

You’re just going to see a lot of cool stuff coming to SOCOM over the next few years,” he added. “There are a lot of success stories coming out of this, but you’re not going to hear about it under the banner of TALOS. The funding is in place to bring about nine technologies derived from TALOS to the command’s various components for them to integrate, Babbitt said. “We are leveraging the vast majority of that technology,” he said at the conference. Joel Babbitt, program executive officer for SOF warrior, said TALOS has spun off several technologies that are under his purview. ![]() “I think we have pushed physics as far as we are going to get in the near term.”Īrmy Col. Both said the command was attempting something “out of reach.” That, he admitted, turned out to be the case. Smith said there was some early pushback from Congress and the office of the secretary of defense. “This operator could not run a four-minute mile before that,” he added. One operator put on the legs and was able to run a four-minute mile. The lower half of the exoskeleton is particularly robust, he said. However, it could be used in other missions such as logistics and during long-distance marches. So moving, shooting, communicating in the face of enemy fire, not quite there yet,” he said. “It will not be something that our operators would feel comfortable putting on a close-combat environment today. While it is not ready for the mission McRaven envisioned, Smith said when the final prototype is delivered this year, it will be the best exoskeleton in the Defense Department. Nevertheless, a lot of technologies the command “is very excited about” have emerged as spinoffs from the program, including lighter body armor, increased weapon stabilization, a visual augmentation system that projects information onto goggles and the exoskeleton itself. ![]() Smith said: “It's not ready for prime time in a close-combat environment.” McRaven's original goal - based on an operator going through a door in a hostage rescue and being shot in a place where his body armor plate could not save him - was, 'can we increase the survivability of the first person going through a door when they know they are going to be facing a funnel fire?'" "I would ask you all to remember that the original goal for USSOCOM - Adm. SOCOM Acquisition Executive James Smith at this year’s SO/LIC conference in Arlington, Virginia, said the first prototype will be delivered later this year, but it would not be what was hoped. The command last year announced that the first working prototype would be delivered a year late. McRaven set August 2018 as the deadline for the first working prototype and received $80 million for the first four years of development. The “Iron Man” suit - as it was more popularly known - would protect against bullets and blasts and have enough power for it to operate untethered. He wanted more protection for the first special operator to go through a door during raids. William McRaven, who announced the campaign at the 2013 National Defense Industrial Association’s Special Operations Forces Industry conference. The idea for the tactical assault light operator suit (TALOS) sprung from former SOCOM Commander Adm. Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news!

Watch Savage create a real Iron Man suit in the viral video below. One of the toughest challenges was using 3D printers to make the armor as thin as possible to minimize weight. In order to pull off the Iron Man suit, Savage worked with the jet pack company Gravity and its owner, Richard Browning, to build the packs that would make the suit capable of flying. Savage’s model work has spanned several television series and films, including “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones” and “The Matrix Reloaded.” Savage also co-hosted Discovery Channel’s reality series “Unchained Reaction.” The Iron Man video was released in promotion of the new series. The Los Angeles Police Department investigated the burglary and valued the Iron Man suit at $325,000.Īs for Savage, the former “Mythbusters” host launched his new series, “Savage Builds,” on the Science Channel earlier this month. The last time time an Iron Man suit made so much buzz across the internet was when Downey Jr.’s original superhero suit was stolen from Los Angeles’ Movie Prop Storage facility in May 2018. ![]() ![]()
