![]() Also very good to use as harassment towards enemy support that usually have low armor. This ability is also very good to get last hits even when getting zoned out by your lane enemy. ![]() Neat huh? Just pray they don't proc crits when enemies pop Blade Mail. Damage is amplified with armor reduction from Blight Stone and Desolator.Īll of these from 1200 units range.Has 25% to bash opponents when you have Skull Basher from absurd distances.Deal absurd damage when you have Double Damage (if crits, don't be surprised if you one shot the enemy with this).It means when you throw your dagger you will: The ability also brings any UAM and chance based procs (maim, bash, etc). It is reduced by armor but scales VERY well with items because the damage is based on her attack damage (base attack + bonuses). Stifling Dagger deals physical damage now on 6.87. Stifling Dagger stacks with her ult, that is very obvious. This also means we want to take objectives in moderate pace in an early game and pull all of the brakes by mid game. Also with the changes to items like Abyssal Blade, she have another build to play her safely.ĭue to these facts, this guide aims to make her very strong in mid game while not falling (much) in late game. Her strength also comes in forms of Critical Strikes, which she has in spades and thus damage items are not her primary concern, but one we will capitalize on early game. Which is why she falls in late game to harder carries. As the player, we can mitigate the first, but not the later one. Her weaknesses are nukes while in late game, true strikes. While the Blur ability is nerfed a bit with the buff to true strike and nukes, she has received a powerful buff to Stifling Dagger, mainly because she has 15% chance to deal potential 1k physical nuke damage just by pressing Q when she reaches level 16. Phantom Assassin is one of my favorite heroes due to her simplicity, yet one you have to strategize before going on-the-face to the enemy.

![]() At least three kids have died this year in similar circumstances, according to Kids and Car Safety's tracker. Parents should also be extra aware of keeping children out of hot cars amid the heat wave, Fennell said, because about 26% of hot car deaths happen when children get into cars on their own. HOW HOT DOES A PARKED CAR ACTUALLY GET?: In just 10 minutes, the heat can be 'miserable' "What if there's a long line? What if there's a technical difficulty with a pump? There's just no way that it's safe to do so." "The truth is it's never just a minute," she said. That's why people should never run into a store or gas station and leave a child in the car, thinking it'll only take a minute. It's made it that much more deadly for children and others, like elderly people and pets, vulnerable to heat in cars.įennell said the biggest jump in temperature happens within the first 10 minutes after a car is shut off. ![]() Hot cars are a huge threat to kids amid heat wavesĪn oppressive heat wave has been plaguing much of the South and Western United States in recent days and weeks, causing record-shattering temperatures. Sometimes, kids get into cars by themselves while parents think they are down for a nap or playing safely, and they become trapped.Īnd sometimes, a caregiver knows a child was still in the car and purposely leaves them there, perhaps thinking the child will be fine during a quick run into a store, Fennell said. Fennell told USA TODAY on Friday that it's important to be aware of the danger, because a deadly mistake can be made by any parent at any time. The deaths typically happen when a parent or caregiver has a change in routine, or parents miscommunicate with each other over who's in charge of taking the baby inside, and it isn't discovered until it's much too late. Fennell said the death toll isn't improving ‒ the number of children who died in hot cars this year is about on par for what she's seen in recent years. "We have lost way too many children," said Janette Fennell, founder and president of advocacy group Kids and Car Safety. That child died as the temperature rose to more than 133 degrees in the vehicle, police said. She said she realized the baby was still in the car when her mother came to pick her up several hours later. In mid July, a Florida babysitter said she forgot a 10-month-old baby girl in a car when she went inside to watch other children. So far no charges have been filed in the case which remained under investigation on Wednesday. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. When she returned to the car, she found him unresponsive, Houston police said. On Tuesday, a mother in Houston left her 3-month-old baby unattended outside a medical center she visited with her other child, age 4. ![]() That's where some of the most devastating tragedies unfold when children are inadvertently left behind.Īt least 16 children have died in hot cars so far in 2023, bringing to more than 1,000 the number who have died that way during the past three decades. If there's anything hotter than the record-breaking temperatures felt across much of the United States in recent weeks, it's the temperature inside a car parked outside in the sweltering heat.

![]() And we're focused on the strategic expansion of our mental health program, working with our partners to expand our mental health services in the five states we're in now - Texas, Louisiana, California, Illinois and New York - before we expand to new states." Brown plans to work as an adviser for Giant Noise until the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition for the clients that are moving over.Īs for her plans for the future at SSF, Brown told the Press, "We're really working hard to increase awareness nationwide - both for our F&B workers who can utilize our services and for potential donors who want to support the industry. A number of those clients will be moving to Giant Noise as Brown shutters the firm she founded, making the same giant leap her husband made to the world of philanthropy. The majority of her clients were people in the arts and food and beverage communities. In 2016 she founded Lindsey Brown Public Relations here in Houston. Brown followed that by taking on the role of director of marketing and public relations for the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau. Brown graduated from the University of Texas at Austin then began her career in public relations including a stint as special projects coordinator for the Houston Ballet Academy.

We're here to take care of our own now and always!"īut Shepherd wasn't the only one on the team with big news. I hope this recognition will result in more F&B workers knowing we're here to provide them with crisis relief and free mental healthcare. We're all doing great work for the industry. We were nominated in the best company with our friends from Cafe Momentum and Kitchen Campus. In an email to the Houston Press, Shepherd said of the award, "We're so grateful for the Texas Restaurant Association. ![]() Shepherd received this year's honor for his work as founding director and honorary chairman with the Southern Smoke Foundation. The Community Impact award was introduced in 2022 to honor an outstanding active member of the TRA who demonstrates a legacy of uniting and empowering those in the restaurant community. This week, the pair had some big news to share.Įarlier this month, Shepherd received the Texas Restaurant Association's Community Impact Award at its 2023 Texas Restaurant Awards held at Houston's 713 Music Hall, July 9. After years of opening various successful restaurants and creating a multitude of menus, the James Beard Award-winning chef decided to step away from the hospitality group that he was an integral part of to focus on his work with Southern Smoke Foundation, a non-profit he co-founded with his now-wife Lindsey Brown in 2015. When Chris Shepherd left Underbelly Hospitality last summer it came as a surprise to many in the restaurant industry but probably not to his closest friends and family. "Otherwise, Coney Island is back, and has been back for a substantial period of time," Michaels said. Pediatric inpatient services, detox facilities and inpatient rehabilitation also remain unavailable at the hospital. The psychiatric ED room at Coney Island Hospital "is out of commission," Michaels said, adding that those services are currently being addressed at the hospital's main ED space. "If you were to go there today, you would still see parts under construction," Ian Michaels, public affairs director for the New York City Health and Hospitals Corp. One year later, most of Coney Island Hospital is fully operational, though there's still much work to be done. Nonetheless, the hospital was able to serve as an emergency shelter for about 60 displaced area residents - including four people and two dogs delivered by a police boat - according to a New York City report nicknamed "SIRR" ( Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resiliency), which was commissioned by the city in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. More than 220 patients had to be evacuated, partly because the hospital's ground-level emergency generators had to be shut off for several hours to prevent permanent damage from the flooding that inundated the whole hospital campus - including the ED - under several inches of water. Even the local police and other emergency responders came to the facility for coffee and other support.Ībout 2 miles (3 kilometers) away from Shorefront stands Coney Island Hospital, a comprehensive 371-bed medical center with a large emergency department (ED), psychiatric-care facility and nuclear-medicine center.Įven though the hospital is farther inland than Shorefront, Coney Island Hospital fell victim to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy's floodwaters.

![]() Army and Marine Corps against the Iraqi insurgents in the city of Fallujah. Operation Phantom Fury, also called the Second Battle of Fallujah, was a joint American, Iraqi, and British offensive in November and December 2004, which was led by the U.S. forces killed and 560 wounded in Operation Phantom Fury in 2004. Phantom and Fury are named in memory of the 95 U.S. Fury is a 4-month old lab who was donated by Kate Gibbons. Phantom is a 5-month old Great Pyrenees mix who comes to us from our rescue partner, Operation Paws for Homes. The ranch carried on as normal, and Freedom Alliance got back to helping other veterans.īut none of us will forget the Phantom Fury reunion, nor the men who braved the battle.Semper K9 is honored to announce the acceptance of Phantom and Fury into our Service Dogs for Veterans program. The next day, 10 Marines left the Double E Ranch, flying each to their respective homes. The Marines presented their hosts with a signed Phantom Fury flag, which was made by Flags of Valor (a veteran-owned company near the Freedom Alliance headquarters) to show their appreciation. On the last night in Wyoming, dinner was cooked over a campfire. Other guests mentioned how unusually well they slept at the ranch! ![]() He was amazed, since he almost stayed home, having been in such agony. One of the Marines, who had been suffering from terrible anxiety, said he did not need his medication while on this trip. It did wonders for them and for everyone. This was the first time they had ever been in a rural area outside of their combat experience. Two of our guests, Jose and Juan, are brothers from Chicago. It was an incredible five days, with too many highlights to keep track of. They even ate a picnic lunch, which had been prepared and packed with care back at the Double E. Throughout the park, they saw Yellowstone’s iconic herds of buffalo. The audience of the Cody Nite Rodeo recognized the Freedom Alliance veterans in an resounding ovation of gratitude.Īnother day was spent in Yellowstone National Park, where the Marines visited Excelsior Geyser, Dragon’s Mouth Spring, Artist Point, and Old Faithful. While in town that evening the servicemen attended the rodeo, which is the longest-running in the nation. The most popular with the Marines by far was the Cody Firearms Museum! Four hours later, everyone had caught their share of fish, and two novice fishermen had found a new pursuit.įreedom Alliance organized an expedition one day to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in nearby Cody, a multiplex of five museums dedicated to America’s West. But Frank, at the stables, gave him and another new rider his undivided attention and they embarked on their first trail ride ever.įriends of the ranch manager volunteered their time, equipment, and boats so that the veterans could try out fly fishing on the Shoshone River. ![]() One veteran admitted that he’d never been close enough to touch a horse. The Marines enjoyed exploring the ranch on ATVs, as well as in the saddle. The least we could was reunite them with their brothers. These 10 men experienced hell on earth … and survived. There were others, they all said, who were more heroic, who sacrificed more.Īnd yet, when one reads their combat records, you see the wounds, the multiple deployments, the outstanding service. Some hadn’t seen each other in years, and, despite horrific shared memories of combat, the laughter and storytelling started up right away.Īt various points throughout the trip, each guest said he did not deserve this kind of treat. From Chicago and Baton Rouge, as well as the states of California, Texas, Florida and more, these Marines from all parts of the country had a common bond…įallujah-the bloodiest engagement of the war. The 10 men we selected for this getaway seemed to immediately relax and settle into the beauty surrounding the Double E Ranch. Ranch owners Erik and Stacy and their family acted as welcome committee, hospitality executives, and new best friends. Ranch manager Troy arranged and guided daytime activities for the Marines. The Double E’s “horse whisperer” Frank provided breathtaking trail rides and one-on-one instruction. ![]() Head chef Coletta and her kitchen staff prepared fantastic meals. The two months during which this campaign was fought are considered the most intense of the Iraqi War.įast forward twelve years, and some wonderful folks in Wyoming, the owners and staff of the Double E Ranch, invited Freedom Alliance to use their property to provide a vacation for Marine Corps veterans of Operation Phantom Fury and Fallujah.Īctually, not only did they donate the ranch and its resources for this purpose, but they volunteered themselves, as well.

As a follow up to our article on confusing words, here are ten of the most difficult words in English. If you know a language purist, watch out. Misuse of this word has been known to raise people’s blood pressure. ‘Literally’ means, “in a literal sense”, or “what I’m saying is not imagined, but truly happened as I’m saying it.” Therefore, popular uses like “I literally died laughing,” or “He was so embarrassed his cheeks literally burned up,” are not correct. Interestingly, because of the sheer reach of its incorrect use, the Oxford English Dictionary has included an informal use for ‘literally’ allowing it as a tool to give emphasis, like in the above examples. Here is a word that has confused almost all English speakers – native or otherwise. (In fact, as Alanis Morissette’s famous song, Ironic – with around 10 poor examples of irony – shows us, coincidences and unfortunate events aren’t enough.) (No, really – we could write a whole course on using irony correctly!) While irony is often understood to mean a coincidence or strange turn of events, that in itself doesn’t cover its full meaning. While the concept of irony is extremely multi-layered, at its most simple it’s a way to use words to express the opposite of their literal meaning. However, unlike sarcasm (which also does this), irony is not intended to hurt. But wait! There’s also dramatic irony, situational irony, historical irony and others. ![]() So what should you do in the face of such confusion? One option is to…let it go. Truthfully, irony is not an essential ingredient to a regular day and no one will think badly of you if you don’t use the word at all! 3. You might have heard people use ‘irregardless’ when they mean to say ‘regardless’. ‘Regardless’ means “without regard” or “despite something” (“He maxed out his credit card regardless of the consequences,”) and is perfectly acceptable.īut despite what you might think, ‘irregardless’ isn’t a synonym! Because of it’s double negative (the prefix -ir means “not” and suffix -less means “without”) it means “not without regard”, which is actually the opposite of what its users intend. So remember: While ‘irregardless’ appears in dictionaries, it’s listed as a nonstandard word. This means that although it technically exists, it shouldn’t be thrown about by people who’d like to learn and use English well. Who knew such a little word could be so confusing! In English, we use ‘who’ to refer to a sentence’s subject and ‘whom’ to its object. If ‘hi m’ could be the answer, ‘who m’ is your word.īut how can you tell which one you need? Try answering your own question with ‘him’ or ‘he’.
