Less commonly known on the muzzle device spectrum are the blast forwarding devices or “flash can”. Doesn't reduce muzzle rise as much as muzzle brakes.Won't get hit with a wall of gas when firing.There are many 'hybrid' designs that combine muzzle brake-like features as well.Offers real-world benefits to real-world civilian shooters.Nevertheless, compensators are perfect for calibers that don't create a lot of recoil, helping the shooter stay on target for quicker and more accurate follow up shots. The reason for this is because compensators will redirect gasses less aggressively that brakes so that the user and surrounding people won't get hit with a wall of gas as much if at all. Whereas the brake tends to aid greatly in reducing both recoil and muzzle movement the compensator focuses on reducing perceived felt recoil in a way that's a huge upgrade than a flash hider but it may not be as effective as a muzzle brake in reducing muzzle rise. May not be effective on shorter barrels.Ĭompensators like this one from ODIN Works look pretty mean too.Ī compensator, much like a muzzle brake, is designed to reroute expelled gasses in order to achieve less recoil and muzzle movement.May aid in slight muzzle-rise reduction.Helps to keep your rifle fire concealed at night.For whatever reason that someone intentionally wants to buy or use an A2 flash hider, they can be picked up for as little as $10, making it the cheapest option by far in the realm of muzzle devices. However, it doesn't provide stellar results which is to be expected from the government's "limited" budget. The bottom is solid to prevent you from creating a dust signature when firing from the prone position, and it is an overall acceptable flash hider. This flash hider is the most common design you’ll see and is the standard for rifles used by out military. If you have an ‘off the shelf AR15’ you more than likely have an A2 flash hider, commonly referred to as a ‘birdcage’ design. By blending the hot gasses with cooler ambient air in a disruptive pattern, there can no longer be a large bubble to glow and the gas is dissipated in smaller sections. In order to negate this burst of visible light, flash hiders create turbulence. In simpler terms hot gasses make bright lights. So the ‘flash’ that we see is actually this gas bubble becoming incandescent and briefly crossing the visible spectrum. These hot gasses leave the end of the barrel and create a sort of bubble effect. What that flash actually represents, is extremely hot gasses (usually around 3,600 degrees) expanding rapidly when meeting cooler, ambient air. There is this misconception that muzzle flash is the result of unburned powder. Almost guaranteed to give off flash signature from every shotĪn example of how widely Flash Hiders can vary in design styles.Creates a concussive effect for fellow shooters that are nearby.If you prefer something you don’t have to work on while on the range, we really like Aero Precision’s Gamma 556 Muzzle Brake that takes the guesswork out of tuning. M-15™ TUNABLE COMPETITION MUZZLE BRAKE and with pricing at $139.00, it’s pretty on par with most adjustable devices. One product example comes from the Godfather of the AR world - Armalite came out with their There are even adjustable muzzle brakes on the market that allow you to finely tune your device to your preference. Muzzle Brakes come in many shapes and sizes, with vary degrees of effectiveness and price.Īlso incorrectly referred to as a compensator, a muzzle brake is a device connected to the end of a barrel that redirects a portion of the propelled gasses to combat muzzle rise, linear movement and some perceived felt recoil. A good way to understand muzzle brakes is to look at Newton’s third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Muzzle brakes direct gasses up, to the sides, or backwards in order to achieve the prior goals, typically making the brake extremely loud so be sure to wear ear protection. Among the wide variety of muzzle devices there are muzzle brakes, compensators, flash hiders, blast forwarding devices, suppressors and even suppressors training devices. So what's the difference? Do I need a muzzle brake? Despite looking similar, they serve very different purposes and can range in price anywhere from $20 to $150 or even more. Some may not know the difference between these muzzle devices, have incorrect information or just may not see why it matters. There are several different AR 15 muzzle device types that help you achieve a desired effect in making each shot as efficient as possible for your AR build. Let's discuss what exists in the world of AR15 muzzle devices. One of the most common mistakes made in the gun community is referring to a magazine as a ‘clip’, but a very close second is confusing a muzzle brake, flash hider, and compensator. *Update: This blog has been updated to reflect more accurate information in 2022. They line the fences around World Showcase to claim their spot, but it did seem like less were doing it during Epcot Forever when we viewed it on a weeknight. I am not one to line up an hour or so before the Fireworks show but you will see people start around that time frame. Whereas Harmonious was centralized in the Lagoon and had viewing places that were better than others, Epcot Forever covers the whole Lagoon and really can be seen from just about anywhere around the World Showcase. If you select a spot outside of those tape marks a cast member will ask you to move for safety reasons. The tape is there to show the areas where you can and can not sit for the show. Be mindful of the tape markings on the ground. This is right at the entrance to the World Showcase. Where is the best location to see EPCOT Forever Fireworks?Īs showtime gets closer each night, most people will start to gather in between the Port of Entry Stores. To make the most of your viewing experience you can discover the best viewing locations for EPCOT Forever, as well as important schedule information. EPCOT Forever- current EPCOT Fireworks Show It only lasted a year before being replaced by Harmonious.Įpcot Forever is definitely less of a production than both IllumiNations and Harmonious, but as always fireworks shows at Disney tug at your heartstrings and are really a perfect ending to any park day. In 2019 Illuminations was replaced with an extremely short run of Epcot Forever. It ran for 20 years as a part of The Walt Disney World Millenium Celebration and became a family favorite. The previous fireworks show, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, ran from 1999 to 2019 and cost approximately $25,000 each night to show. Something that underwent a huge change after 20 years was the end-of-the-night fireworks and light show around the World Showcase. It seems like Epcot will be under construction for the foreseeable future. If you ask any recent park-goer, that is still the case. Since Epcot’s inception in 1982, the vision of Walt’s idea for the park was to create a ‘community of tomorrow' that would never be completed. A dazzling display of music, pyrotechnics, lasers and lighting, the show will feature an original composition and evocative selections from the Disney songbook – all woven together to remind us that we are more alike than different. Here's what you need to know and expert tips for watching this fireworks show.Īnd coming in late 2023, guests will be treated to the debut of an all-new EPCOT nighttime spectacular later this year. Epcot Forever was a previous Epcot fireworks show that returned on April 4th, 2023, and is running in the interim while Harmonious barges and equipment is being slowly transformed out of the Lagoon. This temporary show is a treat for Disney fans. Epcot Forever has returned to World Showcase Lagoon at EPCOT. The end of the yield curve inversion and coming of the next steepener will be an important signal even as we patiently manage the gold, silver and miners correction on a weekly basis with clear downside objectives laid out back in April. It's all a sign of a coming top in speculation, and then there will be gold, as it always is. True to form, it did lead the broad rally in Q4, 2022 until Goldilocks took over, dumb money got back in the game (perhaps climaxing with the recent AI hype fest) and speculative forces went into overdrive. Gold on the other hand, has been wearing its 'anti' suit (or more to the point, its "insurance" utility) generally since mid-2020 when the correction began. That condition is in place now, whether or not the market has already begun its topping process (not yet technically indicated). While over bullish dumb money indicators have not always signaled a market top, they are always a condition for a top. What there will be is the end of this massively risk 'ON' phase, the job of which always was to turn Q4, 2022's unsustainable over-bearish sentiment profile on its ear, to its opposite condition. When the new steepener follows, in concert with an oncoming recession, there will not be much enjoyment. Goldilocks, and the Tech-led stock market rally have enjoyed the inversion, as would be expected. The Fed sure was tardy, but gold had been forecasting the hawk for quite some time before the eggheads actually got off their "transitory inflation" stance. Recall that gold led the 2020 inflation phase by a country mile and then led the correction in the traditional inflation trades (commodities, resources and their producers) by another country mile as it saw the Fed donning its hawk costume as far back as August, 2020. Gold is sought after when monetary regulators are indicated to be either losing control (under pains of inflation) ** or going overtly dovish (under deflation) while stocks would tend to either rotate toward commodity/resource producers and certain cyclical/value areas under inflation or go flat out bearish under deflation (as opposed to disinflationary Goldilocks) or a more virulent stagflationary inflation. While there is much play in the wheel, so to speak, with respect to timing between the correlations of gold and the stock market (SPX as the broad US measure) to the yield curve, gold is generally correlated to a steepening yield curve and stocks are correlated to a flattening curve. Nor did the next yield curve inversion in 1989. That situation, after a couple of recessions (shaded areas), resolved pleasantly disinflationary (as opposed to outright deflationary) as the resulting steepener – after several stops and starts – never did become impulsive. Today's situation is testing the inverted levels of uproarious events of the late 1970s to early 1980s. While people tend to worry about a yield curve inversion being a trigger to economic recession, it is actually the steepening that follows that usually brings the trouble, whether it be inflationary or deflationary. The 10yr-2yr curve is burrowing southward, perhaps for a test of the inversion low earlier this year. Goldilocks lives during a yield curve flattener. Goldilocks, favoring Tech, Semiconductor and Growth stocks, has held sway as we also projected. There are plenty of other high risk indicators currently in play on the macro but focusing on one important indicator, let's note that the extreme yield curve inversion that has taken place over the last year indicates that time is running out for the current macro backdrop, which sees a hawkish (and once again tardy, as it was with its silly "transitory inflation" blathering a couple years ago) Fed tilting at the inflationary windmill it was primary in creating. Here is one post discussing the rally in November, 2022. It is important to have credibility and indeed, NFTRH planned for a potential humdinger of a bear market rally back in Q4, 2022 based on the inputs of then extremely over-bearish sentiment, the bullish mid-term election cycle (which on average projects bullish for a year, post-election), a coming fade in inflation signals (with the attendant hopes for a softening Fed) being its primary elements. As the 10yr-2yr yield curve inversion plays out, the time is coming for a turn in fortunesīefore proceeding, I'd like to remind you that this article is not written by a perma-bear. “I was thinking about whether you really can create a subculture today – in a world that is devoid of real meaning” – Rachel Fleminger Hudsonīut she also denies that her work is simply about nostalgia for the 1970s. Illustrating this point, Hudson comments: “I find the 80s repulsive and depressing, it’s a time that reflects high consumerism.” We’re constantly trying to create stuff that is ‘new’, but it loses meaning when placed into the context of online culture.” For Hudson, and many other 1970s lovers, the allure of the decade lies in its detachment from technology and rampant capitalism – the calm before the storm. “I was thinking about whether you really can create a subculture today – in a world that is devoid of real meaning. And this sentiment made its way into Hudson’s academic dissertation, which looked at subcultures and postmodernity and how today’s subcultures manifest themselves on TikTok. In a contemporary world saturated with marketable images, romance is lost. In this sense, her work is a self-referential rumination upon the flattening impact of image culture in the capitalist consumer context. But I often don’t have the time I need.” Hudson’s aim is that the final photograph not only becomes a highly researched recreation of history – giving viewers a visceral sense that we have been transported back in time – but draws attention to the mediating effect of photography itself. “I find the editing process frustrating because it needs to be a long process – to look carefully. Later, her images will be highly edited – with painstaking observation and finesse – to achieve that pre-digital ‘70s effect. “The way we determine meaning through clothing is what I’m constantly engaging with” – Rachel Fleminger Hudson The way we determine meaning through clothing is what I’m constantly engaging with and how mythologies are constructed through fashion.” In short, Hudson is revealing that social relations are embedded within the material culture of the 1970s – she’s capturing the conscious and subconscious self-fashioning of the epoque. “The main thing I’m interested in is the building of identity. She thinks deeply about every component of her sets and how those elements all relate to one another: the models, facial expressions, clothing, texture, colour, and light. Like a theatre director, her work is staged and meticulously curated. So I’ve always had an intense relationship with materials from the past.” “And I also grew up surrounded by objects from the 1950s and 1960s collected by my grandparents. “From a young age I’ve had excessive exposure to the arts and critical thinking about the arts from my parents” Hudson adds (her father Mark Hudson is an art critic). I’m obsessed with the aesthetic and culture.” Her practice is rooted in extensive academic research and an earnest and deeply felt connection with the world. “I’m not laughing at the 1970s, I’m deeply entwined within that decade from an emotional place. I’m so fascinated by things that are both ugly and beautiful, and equally imagery that reflects both high and low culture, humour and tragedy.”īut Hudson’s work doesn’t intend to be simply irreverent. “I would totally describe myself as a kitsch person. Finding the humour in things is very much part of her brand, a quick look at her Instagram page will reveal that she’s mastered the art of not (or appearing to not) take herself too seriously. “It’s when things become kitsch but also start to take on double meanings and irony.” As a movement in which art becomes increasingly self-aware and enters an ambivalent dialogue with mass and consumer culture, postmodernism seems inseparable from Hudson’s photographic philosophy. “I’m so intrigued by the 1970s because it’s the start of postmodernism,” she tells Dazed. Ahead of her debut solo show opening at Paris’ Maison Européenne de la Photographie. Recently, her photoshoot of Mia Goth for Culture Magazine went viral, and last year she won the prestigious Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talent.

One young artist who is particularly enamoured with the decade is the young London-born, Central Saint Martins graduate, Rachel Fleminger Hudson.

There are also two Citi Bike docks right across from the main entrance to the terminal, as well as docks on the surrounding blocks. If you’re traveling from one of New York’s northern suburbs or from Connecticut, you can hop on a Metro-North Train that will go to the heart of Grand Central. Several buses also serve Grand Central, including the M101, M102, M103, M1, M2, M3, M4, Q32, and M42. That accessibility has helped make the Grand Central stop the second-busiest in the subway system, with more than 46 million commuters passing through in 2017.

Only Penn Station serves more passengers each year-and Grand Central is unquestionably a better place to wait for a train.īy the end of 2022, those numbers could rise, if the MTA’s long-awaited East Side Access project-which would bring Long Island Rail Road trains into the terminal-actually finishes as projected.Īnd unlike Penn Station, Grand Central isn’t a cramped underground warren its dozens of shops, restaurants, and amenities (including a tennis club and a museum annex) are spread throughout a gorgeous NYC landmark, which is worth visiting even if you’re not taking the Metro-North. Grand Central Terminal is one of NYC’s most popular tourist destinations-21.6 million visitors pass through its doors each year-but it’s also a major commuter hub, with 44 platforms spread out over 48 acres.

Notwithstanding, as a parallel and to counter the so-called ‘upper-caste elite’ and Hindu or cultural nationalism, the Tamil nationalists imagined a nation of casteless and democratic society. India as a country would not have been possible without the consent of the toiling class. However, India is not a nation but it is a country which includes different nationalities. It is one of those attempts to assert on the part of nationalists that India is a nation which is historically true. While Tamil nationalism imagines its identity, culture, civilization and history in antagonism to Brahmanis and Aryan or Hindu culture, Indian/Hindu nationalists, in order to homogenize, distort and appropriate heterogeneous identity and history as Hindu or Indian history. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, nationalists felt heterogeneity of tradition was a threat to Indian unity and attempted establishing a new idea of nation as an age-old community of many faiths and creeds. In fact, manipulation and appropriation of distinct cultures and identity is part of the Indian/Hindu nationalist and historians since colonial times. While Tamil nationalists popularize Thiruvalluvar as a universal icon, Indian/Hindu nationalists reduce him as a Hindu. However, Tiruvalluvar, on the contrary to Hindu principles, believed inequality by birth for all living beings. Moreover, the BJP leaders also claimed that Thiruvalluvar, believed in Hindu principles and teachings. In an attempt to homogenize history and identity, Tamil Nadu’s official Twitter handle of BJP posted the photo of Thiruvalluvar, a Tamil poet, who wrote Thirukkural (which speaks about universal ethics and morality – virtues, wealth and love) two thousand years before, in saffron ropes and holy ash smeared on his forehead as an attempt to saffronize his identity. On the other hand, the Tamil verse – which was written two thousand years when there was no idea of India – cited by the Prime Minister by claiming that “belonging beyond borders is unique to India”, it is one of those attempts of Indian/Hindu nationalists to claim that India is not a construction but a nation which is culturally united and historically true. In caste-ridden India Dalits have not felt the sense of belonging in their own homeland for centuries. Here, Modi silences the fact that the inhuman caste system is unique to India, which is the invention of Hindu religious text/Hinduism. In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on 27th September, 2019, Modi, quoted the ancient Tamil philosopher Kaniyan Pungundranar’s verses – “Yaadhum oore yaavarum kelir” (We belong to all places and everyone) – emphasizing the sense that “belonging beyond borders is unique to India.” He also said on another occasion that Tamil is the “world’s oldest language.”Īt the outset, Modi’s newfound love for Tamil, repeated invocation of Tamil, may imply that it is a political design of the BJP to make inroads into Tamil Nadu where the party could not secure a seat during the time of ‘Modi wave’ rather, it is an attempt to silence and homogenize history and identity. However, on the other hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi quotes Tamil classical literature and language in his speech on several occasions. Why do we live with them? We have blacks, black people all around us.” Here, the argument by Vijay demonstrates that North Indians are generous and tolerant enough to live peacefully with the dark-skinned Dravidians it is an obvious manifestation of racism. In 2019, in a panel discussion on an international news channel, Tarun Vijay, a BJP leader, in an attempt to defend India against the charge of racism following attacks on African students, commented, “If we (Indians) were racist, why would we have the entire South? Which is you know… completely Tamil, you know Kerala, you know Karnataka and Andhra. Will an ever-evolving sense of nationalism bring ‘constructive justice’ to the people? Can’t it be a catalyst in the nation-building process? Nationalism’s Many Facets The history of human civilization has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, building-rebuilding of identities and nationalisms of one kind or the other. Nationalism can be viewed from multiple angles however its understanding and interpretation have always been subjected to political conundrum. Nationalism is not simply a sense of belongingness to group identity but also a spirit that manifests in the social, cultural, political, economic life of the people at large. Dry hair is more prone to breakage.Ĭompared to traditional dry shampoos, ones made with more natural and some organic ingredients to keep your scalp away from drying ingredients and harsh chemicals. At first, many of us were spraying this stuff at our roots - shooting it out of aerosol cans without much hesitation.īut the thing about dry shampoos in aerosol cans (aside from the liquid petroleum gasses already mentioned) is they also commonly use alcohols, which are, of course, drying agents.
