![]() ![]() ![]() We had better luck shooting broadheads from the Ravin. We also tested the heavier CenterPunch bolts to see if their slower velocity would improve accuracy, but got the same results. If you choose a Nitro 505, we recommend buying a dozen bolts, numbering each one, and shooting each with broadheads to weed out flyers. Other bolts with the same broadhead grouped with the field points and those groups were 2.75 to 3.5 inches. We found some bolts had a 9-inch difference in field point to broadhead point of impact. The Nitro 505 with the TenPoint Pro Elite bolts produced inconsistent broadhead accuracy. They were also fired from a shooting bench and lead sled with the target at 50 yards. Broadheads were another story.įor broadhead testing, we used the SEVR 100-grain and 150-grain broadheads. You can buy a more accurate crossbow, but both produced acceptable field point accuracy. The R500 averaged a 2.7-inch group, and the TenPoint averaged a 3.08-inch group. We shot six, three-bolt groups at 50 yards from a bench with a lead sled for our accuracy testing. Accuracy Smallest R500 broadhead group Smallest Nitro 505 broadhead group The R500’s 40-yard group was 1.5 inches below the 20-yard group, and the Nitro 505’s was 1 inch lower at 40 yards. For comparison, the Tenpoint Flatline 460 drops 5 inches from 20 to 45 yards, with a practically flat trajectory from 20 to 40. We found that out when we shot two bolts at 20 yards and two bolts at 40 yards with no elevation adjustment. Plus, speed can help you make a well-placed shot because if you’re shooting anything inside of 40 yards, there’s no need to range the target. As you can see, neither of these crossbows are lacking terminal performance at distance. For perspective, these crossbows produce more energy and momentum at 50 yards than a compound bow does shooting a 600-grain arrow, 300 fps at point-blank range. At 50 yards, the Nitro 505’s Pro Elite 400 bolts are moving at 474 fps, and have 201.5 ft-lb KE, and. At 50 yards, the R500’s bolt is moving at 462 fps and carries 191 ft-lb KE with. The Doppler radar chronograph tracks projectiles downrange and provides speeds at various distances. The Nitro 505 also can shoot 450-grain CenterPunch bolts, which bring the speed down to 488.5 fps. Speeds are based on a five-shot average and both crossbows used 400-grain bolts. Using a LabRadar Doppler chronograph, we clocked the Nitro 505 at 515 fps and the R500 at 502 fps. Do these two bows really shoot faster than 500 fps? Yep. ![]() ![]() ![]() "QYJ" will be on Jonny Cool’s debut album 'Native Alien,' out later this year“The concept for ‘Quit Your Job’ came from being a custodian at Nike a while back,” Cool begins, “and I was given some opportunities to show my music production there, yet my manager at Nike at the time wasn't down with all the networking I was doing with the other employees. Sunday afternoon would see Jonny Cool and his big band, complete with a three-piece horn section, share TYuS’ set on the Treeline stage and reprise “Quit Your Job,” this time featuring a guest verse from Free WiLL Vibin. A small crowd began to gather and the artists quickly had us all chanting: “It’s either quit your job or get fired.” Hood main stage rapping snippets of songs, freestyling to Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean,” and just generally getting down to that flute beat. Joined by his Rose Tribe crew, the group huddled atop a wooden platform near the Mt.

In the past 12 months, a record number of Americans have ‘released’ themselves from their jobs for a variety of reasons: pandemic burnout, a desire for better pay or better benefits, or the need to care for children or elderly relatives during the pandemic.ĭubbed the “Great Resignation,” the offset between job vacancies and job seekers means there are now almost two job openings for every unemployed worker, a situation that Fed Chair Powell has called “unhealthy.” “Release your anger/Release your mind/Release your job/Release the tide/Release your trade/Release the stress/Release your love/Forget the rest,” sings Big Freedia, lyrics that embrace both the socio-economic pandemic fatigue and the desire to break free of it. It’s an inescapable summer psalm, with heavy sampling from the early-90s hit “Show Me Love” by Robin S and vocals from Big Freedia, a rapper best known for her New Orleans “bounce music,” aka bass-heavy booty-shaking. The song, Beyoncé’s first single since Juneteenth last year, blends 1990s club culture with 2022 Pride vibes. “Still can’t get over how Beyoncé is about to catalyze a mass resignation bc we surviving off vibes now,” tweeted another fan. “BREAKING: Beyoncé’s ‘Break My Soul’ identified as source of The Great Resignation,” tweeted one person. ![]() “Me sending my resignation email because Beyoncé told me to,” was a common theme online. Immediately dubbed an “anthem for the Great Resignation” on social media, fans didn’t skip a beat, posting memes and all-cap tweets aligning themselves with Queen Bey’s motivational message to ditch hustle culture and get back to “sleeping real good at night.” The multi-hyphenate artist’s latest single, “Break My Soul,” which dropped late Monday, begs listeners to “release” themselves from their 9-5, saying “I just quit my job, I’m gonna find new drive, damn, they work me so damn hard.” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell wants to increase joblessness in the US in order to save the economy. ![]() ![]() If that does not work, go with Window Capture and make sure it matches your resolution.

We need to find PHP version, thread safety and architecture. Please refer to for exact version changes of the underlying ImageMagick library.In this article, I’m going to share how to install imagick PHP extension on Windows. There is an online editor here: Contributions are more than welcome. If you do want to use OpenMP in ImageMagick when it's called through Imagick, you should test thoroughly that it behaves correctly on your server.ĭocumentation needs a lot of work. This file is possibly located at /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml or similar location. This can be accomplished by the following code: In the extremely unlikely event that a hacker is able to pipe arbitrary files to the output of Imagick, checking that it is an image file, and not the source code of your application that is being sent, is a sensible precaution. This an be be done with finfo_file() - see below.Ĭheck the result of the image processing is a valid image file before displaying it to the user. Verify that all image files begin with the expected "magic bytes" corresponding to the image file types you support before sending them to ImageMagick for processing. As much as possible the files and system resources accessible to the PHP script that Imagick is being called from should be locked down. It is better to either use it as a background task using something like SupervisorD or to run it in a separate server that is not directly accessible on the internet.ĭoing this will make it more difficult for hackers to exploit a bug, if one should exist in the libraries that ImageMagick is using. Do not run Imagick in a server that is directly accessible from outside your network. ![]() Because of this we recommend the following: However everyone makes mistakes and there will inevitably be some bugs present.īecause ImageMagick is used to process images it is feasibly possible for hackers to create images that contain invalid data to attempt to exploit these bugs. The writers of these libraries also take care when writing their code. ImageMagick also uses a lot of third party libraries to open, read and manipulate files. Although the ImageMagick developers take good care in avoiding bugs it is inevitable that some bugs will be present in the code. The PHP extension Imagick works by calling the ImageMagick library. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version (greater than 6.9.1 or 7.x) if at all possible. ![]() ImageMagick, the library that the Imagick extension exposes to PHP has had many bug fixes, that have fixed many image corruption issues. ExamplesĪlmost all of the functions in the library have an example at where you can see the example code to call the function, as well as the generated image or output. If using Imagick on NixOS, you probably want to define FONTCONFIG_FILE to avoid a warning message when loading fonts, and MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH to have all the information available from Imagick::getConfigureOptions(). Running against a different version of ImageMagick is known to cause stability issues, and so is not recommended or supported. ![]() Once compiled, Imagick should be run with the same version of ImageMagick that it was compiled against. Installing on Windowsįor Windows please install both Imagick and the underlying ImageMagick library from: You will also need to add extension=imagick.so to your PHP ini file to make PHP load the extension. Once ImageMagick is installed, the following commands will compile and install Imagick: If you need to compile Imagick from source, first you should install ImageMagick, at least version 6.2.4 but it is STRONGLY recommended to use a more recent version due to the many bug fixes in it. apt, yum, brew, as they will also install ImageMagick for you. The best way of installing Imagick is through a package manager e.g. PHP Imagickīugs can also be reported at but may have a slower response time. Although the two extensions are mostly compatible in their API, and they both call the ImageMagick library, the two extensions are completely separate code-bases. There is also a version of Imagick available for HHVM. Imagick is a PHP extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick library. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Product Details: Material: Plastic and stainless steel | Type: Y-peeler | Dishwasher Safe: Yes The ergonomic plastic handle is designed for a comfortable grip, while the stainless steel serrated blade will make short work of nearly any peeling project. It comes in red and green color options, both of which are dishwasher safe. We also tested this peeler with a block of parmesan and were impressed that it created thin, delicate shavings that would be a perfect addition to a salad or pasta dish. The butternut squash test took less than half the time of the other peelers, which was a bit surprising given the serrated blade. When we peeled lemon rinds, the process was equally as smooth and yielded delicate slices with very little pith (the bitter white layer under the peel). We did note that it didn’t have an eye scooper for the potatoes, so you’ll have to remove those separately. The longer blade allowed for better maneuvering and a smooth glide, creating clean and fast peeling. ![]() With this peeler, we were able to peel a potato in one minute and 28 seconds, thanks to its ergonomic grip (only two peelers we tested were faster than this). Its serrated blade excelled at peeling potatoes, lemons, squash, and parmesan in our testing.

He also reportedly stated, "What is the good of your speeches? I come to Sarajevo on a visit, and I get bombs thrown at me. The driver accelerated when he saw the flying object, and the bomb exploded underneath the wheel of the next car, injuring two of its occupants along with a dozen spectators. The archduke and his wife were in the second car with the top rolled back in order to give the crowds a good view.Īt 10:10 a.m., as the motorcade passed the central police station, a Black Hand agent, Nedjelko Cabrinovic, hurled a hand grenade at the archduke's car. On the morning of June 28, 1914, the royal couple arrived by train and a six-car motorcade drove them to city hall for an official reception. ![]() He had been informed of terrorist activity conducted by the nationalist organization the "Black Hand," but ignored the warnings. In the summer of 1914, Franz Ferdinand and wife Sophie accepted an invitation to visit the capital of Bosnia, Sarajevo. Though he cared little for their nationalist ambitions, he advocated for a careful approach with the Serbs, warning his military leaders that harsh treatment toward them could cause an open conflict with Russia. This idea was in direct conflict with the Serbian nationalists who had designs of breaking off with Bosnia and Herzegovina to form an independent state. He also considered forming a federal government of 16 states, calling it the United States of Greater Austria. However, this idea was unpopular with the ruling elite, further stirring doubts of Franz Ferdinand's sanity. One matter is clear: Franz Ferdinand understood that the empire was disintegrating and, thusly, that something needed to be done.Īt one point, Franz Ferdinand proposed changing the Austro-Hungarian rule with a triple monarchy of Slavs, Germans and Magyars, each having an equal voice in government. He was also rumored to be insane due to the inbreeding of the Hapsburg family. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's public persona was cold, sharped-tongued and short-tempered. The only thing the divergent ethnic people hated more than each other was Hapsburgs. Archduke of Austria-HungaryĪustria-Hungary was a polyglot empire of different ethnic groups at odds with each other over religion and politics, and united to a flag that wasn't theirs. Franz Joseph finally agreed on the condition that no descendants of Franz and his new wife succeed to the throne. Eventually, several influential European leaders, including Pope Leo XIII, argued on behalf of the love-sick Franz, stating that the disagreement was undermining the stability of the monarchy. After the family was informed of the relationship, Emperor Franz Joseph refused to give his permission to the marriage. The deeply in love Franz Ferdinand refused to marry anyone else, however, so the couple kept their relationship secret. However, marriage to a Hapsburg required that one be a member of a reigning or formally reigning dynasty of Europe, and the Choteks were neither. In 1894, Franz Ferdinand met Countess Sophia Chotek and the couple quickly fell in love. After the suicide of the emperor's son, Crown Prince Rudolf, in 1889, and his own father's death from typhoid fever in 1896, Franz Ferdinand was groomed to inherit the throne. He began his military career at age 12 and was quickly promoted through the ranks becoming a major general at age 31. Franz Ferdinand was a member of the House of Hapsburg, rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Spanish Empire. Early Life and Marriageįranz Ferdinand was born in Graz, Austria, on December 18, 1863, the oldest son of Archduke Karl Ludwig, who was the younger brother of Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph. One month later, Austria declared war on Serbia and World War I began. In 1914, a Serb nationalist assassinated him. While in power, he attempted to restore Austro-Russian relations while maintaining an alliance with Germany. In 1900, Ferdinand gave up his children's rights to the throne in order to marry a lady-in-waiting. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was born in 1863 in Austria. ![]() ![]() Thereafter South would concentrate mainly on songwriting. South had his first top 50 hit in July 1958 with a cover version of the b-side of The Big Bopper's hit single Chantilly Lace, a novelty song called "The Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor". (Charlie Wayne Felts is the cousin of Rockabilly Hall of Fame Inductee and Grand Ole Opry Member, Narvel Felts.) He soon returned to Nashville with The Manrando Group and then on to Charlie Wayne Felts Promotions. South's earliest recordings have been re-released by NRC on CD. He began his recording career in Atlanta with the National Recording Corporation, where he served as staff guitarist along with other NRC artists Ray Stevens and Jerry Reed. South had met and was encouraged by Bill Lowery, an Atlanta music publisher and radio personality. Best known for his songwriting, South won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1970 for " Games People Play" and was again nominated for the award in 1972 for " Rose Garden". The song’s lyrics were also cited in 2022 in the popular film, Nope, when a photographer is trying to take a photo of some invading aliens.Joe South (born Joseph Alfred Souter Febru– September 5, 2012) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. Since then, Wooley has recorded the song several times, including “The Purple People Eater #2” in 1967 for MGM, which is credited to his alter ego Ben Colder, and again in 1979 as “Purple People Eater” for King Records.īut perhaps most importantly these days, as NFL fans know, the Minnesota Vikings football team’s defense in the 1970s was called the Purple People Eaters, because the Vikings’ uniforms are purple.

The same year the song came out, iconic entertainer Judy Garland recorded it for her album, Garland at the Grove. Sound EffectsĪlong with chipmunk-like vocal effects from the monster, the song includes a toy-sounding saxophone that was originally played at a slower speed and then sped up with the frequency increased. But when a demo of the song got into the hands of the company’s young employees, who would listen to it in droves during lunch, MGM changed their mind. Originally, Wooley’s song was rejected by MGM Records. So much so that radio disc jockeys, at the time, had fans send in hand-drawn images of the monster to see what they thought. But whether the monster is purple or not remains ambiguous. After hearing the joke with the right frame of mind, Wooley wrote the song in an hour. In 1958, Time magazine reported that the song originated as a joke told by a childhood friend of Wooley’s. Playin’ rock and roll music through the horn in his head The Song’s Origin ![]() He was blowing it out, a-really knockin’ em dead Well he went on his way, and then what do ya know In the end, the monster gets a job, thanks to the one horn he has. And to clarify the query above, the monster eats people who are purple (wherever they live, perhaps in another far-out galaxy or at Area 51). So, more than eating people, the monster wants to play in a rock and roll band. “I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band” Purple People Eater, what’s your line?Īnd he said, “Eatin’ purple people and it sure is fine”īut that’s not the reason that I came to land But in the end, he doesn’t, because the singer is “too tough.” But what DOES the monster want? The key stanza comes in the middle of the song and also seemingly answers our original question up top. The singer is scared that the monster is going to eat him. It looks like a purple people eater to me I commenced to shakin’ and I said “Ooh-eee” It had the one long horn, and one big eye ![]() Well I saw the thing comin’ out of the sky It’s about an alien with one eye and one horn coming down to Earth. ![]() The StoryĪt its core, “The Purple People Eater” is like a comic book set to music. That same year, Alvin and the Chipmunks released their first song, and the track “Short Shorts,” as in who wears them, hit the charts, bringing in even more novelty songs onto the hallowed Billboard list. Billboard pop charts as, well as those in Canada and Australia. Written by Sheb Wooley, who was also an actor in the hit sports movie Hoosiers, playing an assistant coach, the song was released in 1958 and it quickly hit No. These were songs that used the sounds and tropes of rock and roll but were less aggressive and more humorous. Like other songs, including “(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?” and songs by the Chipmunks, “The Purple People Eater” was part of a craze in the 1950s for novelty rock songs. ![]() |
