![]() ![]() So you might be able to convince him to let you cast Reach Metamagic Cure Spells as Ranged Touch Attacks through your Arcane Bonded Gun. If you cast another spell, the touch spell dissipates. You can make touch attacks round after round until the spell is discharged. In most cases, if you don't discharge a touch spell on the round you cast it, you can hold the charge (postpone the discharge of the spell) indefinitely. Spells modified by this feat that require melee touch attacks instead require ranged touch attacks. So normally, the 'close' range Cure spells would move up along the track to 'close' - but it also states You can alter a spell with a range of touch, close, or medium to increase its range to a higher range category, using the following order: touch, close, medium, and long. It takes a bit of diplomacy with your GM though, because the Reach Metamagic spell states If your GM is willing to work with you, you can take the Spellslinger Archetype and prepare those cure spells at +1 spell level to add the Reach Spell metamagic to them, and then fire 'healing bullets' at your allies. This racial trait replaces shards of the past.Īnd add Cure spells from the Bard or Witch list to your Spell List. Changes to your ability score do not change the number of spells gained. The number of spells granted by this ability is set at 1st level. These spells do not have to be spells you can cast as a 1st-level character. For example, you could add divine power to your druid class spell list, but not to your wizard class spell list because divine power is a divine spell. The spells must be the same type (arcane or divine) as the spellcasting class you're adding them to. You add a number of spells equal to 1 + your spellcasting class's key ability score bonus (Wisdom for clerics, and so on).

![]() ![]() "But slavery is a harsh word, and I don’t use it because it’s violent, it’s ugly."įlood’s case eventually made it to the Supreme Court, which voted 5-3 against him in 1972. You’re bound to a team without choice of going anywhere and you can be punished, etc.," Jackson said. Miller and Moss "were certainly willing to take a chance on it."įlood, who was making $90,000 a year, famously compared his situation to slavery, saying "a well-paid slave is a slave nonetheless." And though Jackson didn’t agree with the use of the term, he said he understood Flood’s point - particularly how it related to having no say in your own life for as long as you sought to make a livelihood in baseball. "He was part of the period when the civil rights movement - King had been killed, Malcolm had been killed and he just felt like he wanted to take it on," Lowenfish said. 3, 1970, file photo, baseball player Curt Flood, left, and Marvin Miller, Executive Director of the Baseball Players Association, wait inside ABC Television Studio before an appearance in New York Credit: AP He sent a letter to commissioner Bowie Kuhn on Christmas Eve asking to become a free agent and, when that was declined, he took Kuhn to court with the help of Miller and general counsel Dick Moss. But Flood, taking exception to the idea that teams could buy and trade a man for perpetuity, had had enough. That became a problem for Flood when, after 12 years with the Cardinals, he was traded in a package for Dick Allen and two others after the 1969 season. Even if they refused to sign a contract, owners had the right to auto-renew it. The clause kept salaries down and, after the amateur draft was instituted in 1965, meant players had no say in where they ended up. The clause, which was established in 1879 and was unsuccessfully challenged in the Supreme Court in 1922, said a player belonged to a team for his entire career and that the team could keep him or trade him as it wished up until he was released. In the minors, he struggled to find housing for himself and his family and wasn’t allowed to shower with his teammates or even celebrate in the same hotels as them after a big win.Įventually, he moved up to the big leagues - a defensive dynamo, quick with his feet and good with the bat - and ran head-first into baseball’s reserve clause. ![]() Reggie Jackson, one of the biggest names in the star-studded free-agent class ahead of that 1977 season, felt a challenge to the reserve clause was inevitable once players became more informed. But Flood’s case, which went all the way to the Supreme Court before he barely lost, is singular in a few respects.įor one, Flood wasn’t the ideal candidate to fight baseball on the issue because he was well paid and inching toward the end of his career, said historian Lee Lowenfish, author of "The Imperfect Diamond: A history of Baseball's Labor Wars." His desire to do it anyway was born out of a sense of justice honed during the civil rights movement.įor another, Flood’s case is directly tied to then-Players Association head Marvin Miller fighting, and winning, the right to use an impartial arbitrator - something that led to more grievances, more concessions from owners, higher salaries for players and ultimately the advent of modern free agency, which took effect in 1976. Labor fights are nothing new to baseball - MLB, the owners and the Players Association are embroiled in one right now, with the start of spring training sacrificed and the regular season in peril. And everybody said, ‘Do you have any thoughts of your own about the trade? Is this a thing with you?’ And I said, no, no. "All I wanted to do was talk about going to Philadelphia, the team to which I was traded. "No one knew really what a free agent was. The two were teammates on the Cardinals before being traded to the Phillies together in October 1969. "Dumbfounding," Tim McCarver said in an interview with Newsday this month regarding Flood’s fight. And it’s been 50 years since he lost the case, lost his job and lost integral parts of his life - but helped start a movement that led to modern free agency and shaped baseball and labor negotiations as we know them today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Reaper Leviathan's eyes used to emit bright green bioluminescence, but in the Ghost Update, it was given a new model that no longer gives off any bioluminescence from the eyes.The Reaper Leviathan has been observed to grab a Seamoth and a Prawn Suit and smash it down to the seabed, destroying it completely afterward. If it succeeds, the damage incurred will only be around 20-30%. The Reaper Leviathan will also grab the Prawn Suit. However, if hit with its Defense System, it will let go instantly. Doing so will deal about 40 - 60% damage over eight to thirteen seconds until it lets the vehicle go. It is also capable of grabbing the Seamoth and shaking it around. If the Reaper Leviathan attacks the player at 80% health or lower and without a Reinforced Dive Suit on, the creature will hold its victim in its mandibles, pause for a second while roaring, and then proceed to pull the player into its mouth, killing them. Wearing a Reinforced Dive Suit will reduce damage taken by half, taking 40% damage instead of 80%. The Reaper Leviathan is capable of inflicting 80% damage on the player if attacked outside their vehicle. When the Reaper Leviathan is exposed to damage, it will flinch and roar shortly after being hurt. It is also less likely to notice the player if they use a Seaglide instead of a submersible. The player can use this advantage and swim on the surface to avoid detection. The Reaper Leviathan often swims deeper down but not quite at the seafloor. It also seems to circle its prey (or more commonly the player) for a few moments before attacking and often strikes from behind by surprise. ![]() According to the data bank entry, this roar is a form of echolocation, though it does not function like this in-game. The Reaper Leviathan emits loud, echoing roars audible from great distances. Therefore extreme caution should be taken while exploring those biomes. There are 25 reaper leviathans in Subnautica 7 in the mountains, 8 in the dunes and 10 in the crash zone. Multiple scars can be seen on the body, particularly around the facial area, and the blueish-white skin appears similar in texture to human skin. It has two maroon mandibles on each side of its face which slowly get darker, tipped with black claws, four in total. Its head features a horn (most likely used for ramming its prey), a large mouth housing many teeth, as well as two pairs of eyes with grey sclera. The fins and other red areas of the body possess slight bioluminescence. Most of its fins, along with its back, are red in color. It also has two dorsal fins running along the length of its entire body, and two ventral fins taking a small portion of its belly. The Reaper Leviathan possesses a long, slim, muscular body with four caudal fins and two pectoral fins. Fins and mandibles included, the creature is just a little longer than a Cyclops submarine. The Reaper Leviathan is a massive creature. ![]() ![]() ![]() December 9, 2022.Airtable is a cloud-based application that combines the best of both spreadsheets and databases into one collaborative environment. ^ "San Francisco tech unicorn Airtable lays off a fifth of staff as multiple execs exit"."Software start-up Airtable hits $11 billion valuation in latest funding, adds Salesforce, Michael Dell as investors". ^ "Airtable is now valued at $5.77B with a fresh $270 million in Series E funding".^ "Cloud-based software company Airtable".^ "Airtable raises $185M and launches new low-code and automation features"."Airtable, maker of a coding platform for non-techies, raises $100M at a $1.1B valuation". ^ "Airtable Raises $52 Million and Launches Airtable Blocks."

The pyramid is the temple of the god Kukulcan-the Feathered Serpent. Chichen Itza is a Mayan city on the Yucatan Peninsula with a centerpiece called El Castillo pyramid. There are two popular places in Mexico to celebrate an equinox: Chichen Itza and Teotihuacán. ![]() Direct sunlight shines on the equator, so the length of day and night is nearly equal for both hemispheres.ĭuring an equinox, the Sun shines directly on Earth’s equator, resulting in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness. During an equinox the tilt of Earth's axis and Earth's orbit around the Sun are positioned such that the axis isn't tilting one hemisphere toward or away from the Sun. Soon Washington, DC's Tidal Basin will be teeming with crowds to witness the annual splendor of its renowned cherry blossoms. But be patient because the first day of astronomical spring arrives March 19 when the Sun crosses the celestial equator going south to north, which is called the vernal equinox. Trees are in bloom in the Smithsonian's Enid A. Spring will also start on March 19 in 2028, according to time-keeping website spring arrived on March 1, and the first blossoms in the Smithsonian Gardens are starting to greet the passersby. The most recent March 19 first day of spring was in 1896. It is, however, the first time it's been on that day in over a century. The first day of spring is often March 20 or 21, but next year won't be the first time it's fallen on the 19th. The periodic shifting of the calendar due to leap years is the reason the official start of seasons shifts over a couple of days. ![]() Leap years are also the reason the spring equinox used to occur on March 21, versus March 20, in the previous century. 29 shifts the whole calendar, causing the spring equinox to occur on March 19 instead of March 20. Next year is one of these leap years, and the existence of Feb. "Eventually, in a few hundred years, July would actually take place in the cold winter months!" If we never had leap years, all those missing hours would add up into days, weeks and even months," the NASA website says. "Say that July is a warm, summer month where you live. The extra quarter of a day is not counted each year, but instead added up, so that every four years, February gains an extra day to make up those hours.
