![]() With range and short-field/carrier takeoff and landing requirements, either jet or turboprop engines would be acceptable in the design. Early in 1957, BUAER set forth the demanding mission and operating performance requirements, along with appropriate current design features, such as ejection seats for the aircrew. The complex avionics would require a second crewman for its effective use.Īn operational requirement was established by the office of the Chief of Naval Operations in 1956 for an all-weather tactical airplane, combining the carrier attack mission with the Marines' close-support, short-field capability. However, their limitations - including no all-weather attack systems in the A4D and the adverse impact of the A3D's large size in carrier operations - led to studies showing that the application of new avionics technology could produce a carrier-based, all-weather attack aircraft capable of long-range conventional or nuclear strike missionsįlown at low terrain clearance altitudes, below radar interception. Both of these attack types were designed for nuclear strike missions, as well as being capable of delivering conventional ordnance. These ranged from the smallest attack jet - the A4D (A-4) Skyhawk-through various fighters, to the long-range, heavy attack A3D (A-3) Skywarrior. Meanwhile, the Navy was introducing the first of a new generation of jet carrier aircraft. By the mid-1950s, the Marine Corps defined its need for an all-weather close support airplane capable of operating from the shortest possible expeditionary field runways. The A-6E Intruder is being replaced by the F/A-18 Hornet and will be phased out of service within the next year or two.The Navy's Korean War experience, with no jet all-weather strike capability and limited carrier air group night or all-weather effectiveness, prompted research on avionics systems to overcome this deficiency. It is configured for both Harm and Harpoon missiles and with its radar and FLIR/laser systems, can detect, classify and attack a full range of targets. It has been constantly improved upon over this time span and has been used for close-air-support, interdiction, and deep-strike missions. ![]() The Intruder has been the mainstay of the Navy and Marine Corps air arms for more than three decades. The A-6E, last model in the series, features a multi-mode radar and an improved computer. The A-6C, born of the SEAsia war, incorporates electro-optical sensors to observe and attack vehicles moving under cover of darkness. The A-6B, whose primary job was the suppression of surface-to-air missiles, was basically an avionics modification of the A-6A with provisions for the Navy's anti-radiation missile. The A-6A first entered service in February 1963 with VA-42. Due to this ability, the Intruder has often been used as a pathfinder for other types of attack aircraft, allowing their use under conditions which would not normally permit a successful mission. ![]() To assist them, the all-weather navigation and weapons delivery system provides an integrated electronic display which allows them to "see" targets and geographical features regardless of the effects of darkness or foul weather. The Intruder is manned by a crew of two, pilot and bombardier-navigator, seated side by side. ![]() and NATO air-to-ground weapons in its five external store stations-a total payload of 18,000 pounds. While the Intruder may not win any beauty contests, it clearly excels in its assigned mission. This extremely accurate, low-altitude, long-range, subsonic weapons system is powered by two turbojet engines partially buried in its plump fuselage. The A-6 Intruder is the world's first fully all-weather attack bomber capable of detecting and identifying tactical or strategic targets, and delivering both conventional and nuclear ordnance on them under zero-visibility conditions.

![]() : The second is that, despite us being the Night wings and not a lot of other triumvirates share a similar theme with their naming, they all have their own blackwagons and they can all be occasionally found on the map, doing their own thing as well. : There are a couple of fun things that flying around the map gives us: the first and most obvious is that we can see sections of the map that we normally couldnt when we were landlocked, such as a huge mountain range to the southeast of Mount Alodiel when we fly in that direction. Whenever we want to land, we just find a place that isnt greyed out and select it, just like when we come to a fork in the road and we have to decide one or the other. ![]() : So, yeah, flying around in the blackwagon is a pretty neat way to get around. : Now, without further ado, let us proceed! Well then make way by land, or sea, toward our destination. Though, we should be able to find at least a couple landing places near to where were going. The Downside provides few locales suitable for landing. : The Nightwings sail the skies again, wheresoever the stars may call for them. : Never thought Id soar like this again. : (Tizo is excited to be flying again you get the impression this may not be the first time for him.) If we want to head back to the Downside Prairie for any reason (up to and including meeting someone there for another Rite), we dont have to retrace our every step there. : Bellyaching about story tempo and beats aside, now we can fly around the Downside all we like, and its pretty rad. : Still, theres something dissonant about all this, knowing that flying was just an option that we had, and didnt use. We wouldnt have the chance to see them grow as characters, and theres a good chance wed have skipped Mae and Sir Gilman entirely. : Obviously, its a videogame and a story, and if we opened the game with just flying from point to point, it would remove the agency of the stops and difficulties the characters would meet on their journey. : The blackwagon could just do this? This wasnt an addition Fred just said that Tariq knew full well that this was a thing it was capable of. : And, everyone else ? Hang onto something. : He turns to you, indicating levers and devices marked with symbols from the Book. You should travel in their customary way. What looked before to be old cracks and signs of age now expose various intricate components once hidden from view. : Something has changed about the wagons interior. Now, it shall escort us anywhere the stars require. : With Bertrudes aid, it escorted you across the sea, to me. ![]() : This old wagon is more than it appears. : Next morning, Volfred calls everyone together before the blackwagon. ∽o-nothing screens like this one are probably put in to give the players a save stop if they need it. : There are exactly zero options or things to do, so, we may as well continue on. Word of the news soon spreads throughout the group. : Your companions have not traveled far from Moonlight Alcove. Now, then, see you in the morning, Reader. ![]() : Exactly how many, it is difficult to say, but our next chance at liberty ought present itself much sooner than before, so lets be ready for it. : Please ask the others to gather their belongings, rest, and then assemble at the wagon there at dawn. : And remember, Tariq is comparatively amped compared to when he initially travelled with Fred. : You think you see The Lone Minstrel smile, ever faintly, but cannot be sure. Wed have to hustle, of course, but it wouldnt be any longer a trip than it took to cross the Sea of Solis. : First of all, when did Volfred get back? And second, the Nest of Triesta isnt actually that far away wed have to go down Mount Alodiel, then cross the Sclorian Shore, and then as soon as we hit the forest of Black Basin, were basically there. How are we to reach the Nest of Triesta in due course of time? : The stars urge that we go to the Nest of Triesta. If you remember, the Nest of Triesta was where we encountered Pamitha and Tamitha, of the Essence. : As almost unanimously decided by the thread, our next destination is the Nest of Triesta, to play another game of Sportsball against Lendel and the Accusers, who were our first opponents in the game. ![]() GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF PALLIATIVE RADIATION THERAPY 1 Analgesics and corticosteroids (in central nervous system metastases) play an essential role in the management of patients during radiation therapy treatment planning and concurrently with treatment as needed. Hence pain relief may not be immediate, and acute toxicities manifest several days after commencement of treatment. The cells die at their next scheduled division. With the exception of very radiosensitive cells such as lymphocytes, radiation therapy does not cause immediate cell death. 1, 3 Indications in the emergent setting include spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, and symptomatic brain metastases. 2, 3 Table Table1 1 lists the indications for use of palliative radiotherapy. 1 In 2002, 40 to 50% of patients referred to radiation oncology clinics were treated with palliative intent. Approximately half of all patients diagnosed with cancer receive radiation therapy at some point in their life. Palliative radiation therapy is given to alleviate symptoms, restore function, prevent morbidity of disease progression in the area treated, relieve suffering caused by cancer, and improve quality of life. Curative therapy is delivered to eradicate tumor and hence cure the patient. ![]() It can be broadly divided into therapy delivered for curative and palliative intent.

I've mentioned Oracle VM VirtualBox because you should at least know about it as an option. Parallel installation of multiple instance of XAMPP is much much much simpler and you can set it up as per Ding's article.

It has significant recoil when fired consistently, which can make the weapon difficult to control and aim. The weapon has a single zoom level and is most effective at medium to long ranges, faltering in close quarters due to weaker aim assist than other weapons. Although automatic, it has a relatively slow rate of fire. It is a precision weapon, meaning it is capable of inflicting headshots on unshielded targets, killing them instantly. The VK78 Commando is featured in Halo Infinite as an automatic tactical rifle, which deals kinetic damage. Precision automatic rifle with heavy recoil. In-game information Main article: Commando “ The magnification optics decreased from 2× to 1.4×. Impact Commando: A modified variant of the Commando with an increased magazine from 20 to 40 rounds.Some Jiralhanae and Skimmers also used scavenged VK78s during the conflict. By 2560, the Commando was employed by UNSC Armed Forces personnel during the Battle for Zeta Halo. VK78s were employed as early as 2495, during which time they were selected by the Colonial Military Authority to replace aging stocks of HMG-38 heavy machine guns in then-current service. In the case of the VK78s supplied to UNSC Infinity forces in 2560, the weapons have the proof code FI, which translates to a manufacture year of 2558. The sides of the upper receiver contain a proof mark indicating the weapon's year of manufacture and a certification that the weapon is safe to fire with nitrocellulose-based gunpowder. The VK78 used in 2560 features a matte black, grey and olive drab finish, with a prominent white strip across the weapon's front end. The weapon features numerous markings, including serial numbers, caliber specifications on the body and bolt carrier, and a small UNSC emblem atop a wedge-like protrusion in front of the top-mounted rail, behind the barrel. Above the pistol grip is a fire selector dial, with two markings, the former of which is a row of red dots (presumably indicating fully-automatic) and the latter of which is a single white dot (potentially safe or semi-automatic). The VK78's charging handle is positioned on the left side of its body, just behind a side-mounted ammunition counter. ![]() The design of the weapon emphasizes ergonomics and reliability. Instead, the magazine well is located at an angle directly in front of the trigger guard. It is distinctive among human rifles in that it does not share the common bullpup configuration of weapons like the MA40 assault rifle and BR75 battle rifle, in which the magazine is inserted behind the trigger. The VK78 fires 6.5 mm rounds on automatic, and is fitted via rail-mounting with a recon sight-style optic that can magnify up to at least 2×. |
