The maps do not have a fog of war, allowing the player to be able to view the positions of all enemies on the map at any one time. Other features allow the player to see how far the enemies can both see or hear. The player controls between four and


title: "Star Trek: Away Team" content: six characters at a time out of a selection of seventeen. Each character has different abilities, such as the Vulcan mind meld, or equipment with the exception of a basic phaser, and the player can assemble a team prior to each mission to take account of the requirements of that level. Each character has a specialisation as seen in the "Star Trek" franchise, such as science, security, command, medical or engineering. This broadly defines the abilities of the characters, with security personnel being better in combat, while science crew can use cloaking fields and engineers can repair equipment. The death

The game involves several stealth related abilities, such as decoys, and holographic projectors. The aim was for the missions to have multiple means of completing them, with the player able to use either force or stealth and abilities to complete a mission. Some missions are broken down into primary and secondary objectives. Whilst the completion of the secondary objectives were optional, the completion of them unlocked either an improvement to existing equipment or the awarding of new items. There is no experience

The player's interface during the missions has a series of character portraits on the left side of the screen, whilst the icons for the character's items and abilities are on the bottom right. Actions are controlled via a number of buttons on the bottom left. The player can left click on the mouse to select items in the game, while right click brings up a menu to issue orders to the crew members. There are also a series of hot keys for a variety of actions, such as the use of

title: Afternoon content: Afternoon Afternoon is the time of day from noon or lunchtime until evening. There is no exact definition of the time when afternoon ends and evening starts. (This is equally true for "evening" and "night".) However afternoon is often taken to start at noon (12:00 pm). Afternoon ends and evening starts at roughly 6 pm or maybe just before sunset. Afternoon is the time when the Sun is descending from its zenith in the sky to somewhat before its terminus in the westerly horizon. In human life, it occupies roughly the latter half of the standard working and school day.


title: Afternoon content: Afternoon is often defined as the time period between noon and evening. If this definition is adopted, the specific range of time varies in one direction: noon is at 12:00 (for simplicity, using the 24 clock ("military time")), but the boundary between afternoon and evening has no standard definition. The time period of evening is subjective, but it is often socially considered to start around 6 pm and shortly before sunset, during twilight (these may be conflicting, since the time of sunset (and twilight) vary a lot depending on season and latitude, as well as the choice of time zone)..


title: Afternoon content: The word "afternoon", which derives from "after" and "noon", has been attested from about the year 1300; Middle English contained both "afternoon" and the synonym "aftermete". The standard phrasing was "at afternoon" in the 15th and 16th centuries, but has shifted to "in the afternoon" since then. The term should not be confused with "after noon" (two separate words), which is a translation of the Latin "post meridiem" (p.m.), meaning a time between 12:00 midday and 12:00 midnight. Afternoon is a time when the sun is descending from its daytime peak. During the afternoon, the sun moves from roughly the


title: Afternoon content: center of the sky to deep in the west. In late afternoon, sunlight is particularly bright and glaring, because the sun is at a low angle in the sky. The standard working time in most industrialized countries goes from the morning to the late afternoon or evening—archetypally, 9 am to 5 pm—so the latter part of this time takes place in the afternoon. Schools usually let out during the afternoon as well. In diurnal animals, it is typical for blood levels of the hormone cortisol—which is used to increase blood sugar and aid metabolism and is also produced in response


title: Afternoon content: to stress—to be most stable in the afternoon after decreasing throughout the morning. However, cortisol levels are also the most reactive to environmental changes unrelated to sleep and daylight during the afternoon. As a result, this time of day is considered optimal for researchers studying stress and hormone levels. Plants generally have their highest photosynthetic levels of the day at noon and in the early afternoon, owing to the sun's high angle in the sky. The large proliferation of maize crops across Earth has caused tiny, harmless fluctuations in the normal pattern of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, since these crops

In humans, body temperature is typically highest during the mid to late afternoon. However, human athletes being tested for physical vigor on exercise machines showed no statistically significant difference after lunch. Owners of factory farms are advised to use buildings with an east–west (as opposed to north–south) orientation to house their livestock, because an east–west orientation generally means thicker walls on the east and west to accommodate the sun's acute angle and intense glare during late afternoon. When these


title: Afternoon content: animals are too hot, they are more likely to become belligerent and unproductive. The afternoon, especially the early afternoon, is associated with a dip in a variety of areas of human cognitive and productive functioning. Notably, motor vehicle accidents occur more frequently in the early afternoon, when drivers presumably have recently finished lunch. A study of motor accidents in Sweden between 1987 and 1991 found that the time around 5 pm had by far the most accidents: around 1,600 at 5 pm compared to around 1,000 each at 4 pm and 6 pm. This trend may have been influenced by


title: Afternoon content: the afternoon rush hour, but the morning rush hour showed a much smaller increase. In Finland, accidents in the agriculture industry are most common in the afternoon, specifically Monday afternoons in September. One psychology professor studying circadian rhythms found that his students performed somewhat worse on exams in the afternoon than in the morning, but even worse in the evening. Neither of these differences, however, was statistically significant. Four studies carried out in 1997 found that subjects who were given tests on differentiating traffic signs had longer reaction times when tested at 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm than at 9:00


title: Afternoon content: am and 12:00 pm. These trends held across all four studies and for both complex and abstract questions. However, one UK based researcher failed to find any difference in exam performance on over 300,000 A-level exam papers sat in either the morning or afternoon. Human productivity routinely decreases in the afternoon. Power plants have shown significant reductions in productivity in the afternoon compared to the morning, the largest differences occurring on Saturdays and the smallest on Mondays. One 1950s study covering two female factory workers for six months found that their productivity was 13 percent lower in the afternoon, the


title: Afternoon content: least productive time being their last hour at work. It was summarized that the differences came from personal breaks and unproductive activities at the workplace. Another, larger study found that afternoon declines in productivity were greater during longer work shifts. It is important to note, however, that not all humans share identical circadian rhythms. One study across Italy and Spain had students fill out a questionnaire, then ranked them on a "morningness–eveningness" scale. The results were a fairly standard bell curve. Levels of alertness over the course of the day had a significant correlation with scores on the questionnaire. All

title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: Gamma Ray (band) Gamma Ray is a power metal band from Hamburg, northern Germany, founded and fronted by Kai Hansen after his departure from the German power metal band Helloween. Hansen is the current lead vocalist, guitarist as well as the chief songwriter of Gamma Ray. The band is known as one of the most prominent bands of the German heavy metal scene. In 1988, after four years with the German power metal band Helloween, guitarist and songwriter Kai Hansen decided, for reasons that are still the subject of much debate, to leave the group. Hansen claimed that Helloween had


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: become too big for him to handle, although the group's troubles with financial issues and their record company, Noise Records, most likely played a part as well. He proceeded to do some studio work with German power metal band Blind Guardian and in 1989 decided to form his own project with long-time friend Ralf Scheepers, former vocalist of the band Tyran Pace. This two-man project grew into a four-man band with the addition of Uwe Wessel on bass and Mathias Burchardt on drums. This was the first line-up of Gamma Ray, bearing a sound understandably close to that of Helloween


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: of that period. The original line-up released the album "Heading for Tomorrow" in February 1990 and later that year the "Heaven Can Wait EP", with new guitarist Dirk Schlächter and new drummer Uli Kusch. In February 1991, the band began rehearsing for the recording of their second album in a small, remote house in Denmark. With some brand new songs written, Gamma Ray entered the studio under the supervision of producer Tommy Newton and recorded their second album "Sigh No More", which was released in September 1991. The style differed vastly from that of "Heading for Tomorrow", featuring darker lyrics


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: inspired by the Persian Gulf War that was raging at the time. A 50-date worldwide tour followed. After the Japanese tour at the beginning of 1991, Gamma Ray underwent another personnel change: the rhythm section (Wessel and Kusch) left due to a personal disagreement and were replaced by Jan Rubach (bass) and Thomas Nack (drums), both from the Hamburg band Anesthesia. The band also began to build their own studio, so work on their new album didn't start until 1993. The album "Insanity and Genius" was released in June 1993, with a style which was closer to that of "Heading


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: for Tomorrow" than "Sigh No More". In September 1993 Gamma Ray, along with Rage, Helicon and Conception, embarked on the Melodic Metal Strikes Back tour. The tour contributed to the release of the double CD "Power of Metal", and the videos "Power of Metal" and "Lust for Live", in December. More changes in the lineup were to follow for Gamma Ray. Vocalist Ralf Scheepers, who lived far away from the other band members hometown of Hamburg, was attempting to become the new Judas Priest singer after Rob Halford left. He felt that his position in the band had been strained


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: due to the distance between him and the other members. Hansen and Scheepers agreed to an amicable departure. After failing to be recruited for Judas Priest, Scheepers started his own band, Primal Fear. Hansen then began to search for a new vocalist but, due to demand from friends and fans, took on the guitar-vocal duties himself as he had done for Helloween's first EP and album. In a 2008 interview, Hansen spoke about the importance of the Land of the Free album and what it represented: "We made it exactly at a time point when this kind of metal was


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: proclaimed to be dead as can be. Where it was almost like if a drummer came up with a double bass drum people would say ‘ ya dooga daga yourself out of here man.’ Everything was ruled by Kurt Cobain and the alternative to the alternative and all that kind of stuff. So at that point we made an album like this and it went down very successful. That was cool, that was something special. I think it was the album that gave Gamma Ray the acceptance as being a band not only a Kai Hansen project." In 1995 the


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: fourth album, "Land of the Free", the first to feature Hansen on vocals, was released. The album was universally praised by critics and fans alike. The tour following the album, "Men on a Tour", brought the recording and release of the live album "Alive '95" in 1996. Soon after, there was yet another major lineup change. Jan Rubach and Thomas Nack both left in order to return to Anesthesia and in came new drummer Dan Zimmermann. Zimmerman is also known for being a founding member of the German power metal band Freedom Call. Schlächter, who was originally a bass player,


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: as can be seen on the 1990 video "Heading for the East", left the second guitar spot and took back his original instrument, being replaced on guitar by Henjo Richter. Work started on the next full-length album, and 1997 saw the release of "Somewhere Out in Space", which marked the beginning of the band's thematic concentration on space. The album featured the hit "Valley of the Kings" and entered in the charts of many European countries. After two years of touring came the album "Power Plant", which was a continuation of "Somewhere Out in Space"'s lyrical approach, but a new


title: "Gamma Ray (band)" content: direction musically. The album was highly acclaimed throughout the world and gained even more chart success than its predecessor. For Gamma Ray's next work, Hansen decided to do things differently from the usual compilation of songs. He let the fans decide by voting on their website for their three favorite songs on each album, then the band went back to the studio to re-record the old tracks from the first three albums and made remixed versions for the songs on the later ones. "Blast from the Past" was the name chosen for this double album. After a break of one


title: Bell-bottoms content: Happy Mondays and The Charlatans re-introduced them in late 1989 and the early 1990s. In 1996, women's bell-bottoms were reintroduced to the mainstream public, under the name "boot-cut" ("boot-fit") trousers as the flare was slimmer. By 1999, flare jeans had come into vogue among women, which had a wider, more exaggerated flare than boot-cuts (boot-fits). The boot-cut (boot-fit) style ended up dominating the fashion world for 10 years. By around 2006, the bell-shaped silhouette started to fade as the skinny jean rose in popularity. Sharon Haver, the founder and editor-in-chief of online fashion magazine "FocusOnStyle.com", commented "It's as if all

title: "Drip irrigation" content: Drip irrigation Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and minimize evaporation. Drip irrigation systems distribute water through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. Depending on how well designed, installed, maintained, and operated it is, a drip irrigation system can be more efficient than other types of irrigation systems, such as surface irrigation or sprinkler


title: "Drip irrigation" content: with specific distance and flow per hour as per crop distance. An emitter restricts water flow passage through it, thus creating head loss required (to the extent of atmospheric pressure) in order to emit water in the form of droplets. This head loss is achieved by friction/turbulence within the emitter. The advantages of drip irrigation are: The disadvantages of drip irrigation are: Drip tape is a type of thin-walled dripperline used in drip irrigation. The first drip tape was known as "Dew Hose".

It derives from the Old Norse "Helgi" (Helge), meaning "holy", "sacred", or "blessed". The feminine equivalent is Olga. While seemingly Germanic, "Oleg" is not very common outside of Eastern European countries. Russian pronunciation of Oleg in English is based on the transliteration of the Cyrillic alphabet, and hides three combined quirks of spoken (as opposed to written) Russian: Thus, rather than "Oh-leg", the proper pronunciation of Oleg in English most closely resembles the name Alec, but


title: Past content: Past The past is the set of all events that occurred before a given point in time. The past is contrasted with and defined by the present and the future. The concept of the past is derived from the linear fashion in which human observers experience time, and is accessed through memory and recollection. In addition, human beings have recorded the past since the advent of written language. The first known use of the word "past" was in the fourteenth century; it developed as the past participle of the middle english verb "passen" meaning "to pass." In Grammar, actions are


title: Past content: classified according to one of the following twelve verb tenses: past (past, past continuous, past perfect, or past perfect continuous), present (present, present continuous, present perfect, or present perfect continuous), or future (future, future continuous, future perfect, or future perfect continuous). The past tense refers to actions that have already happened. For example, "she is walking" refers to a girl who is currently walking (present tense), while "she walked" refers to a girl who was walking before now (past tense). The past continuous tense refers to actions that continued for a period of time, as in the sentence "she was


title: Past content: walking," which describes an action that was still happening in a prior window of time to which a speaker is presently referring. The past perfect tense is used to describe actions that were already completed by a specific point in the past. For example, "she had walked" describes an action that took place in the past and was also completed in the past. The past perfect continuous tense refers to an action that was happening up until a particular point in the past but was completed. It is different from the past perfect tense because the emphasis of past perfect


title: Past content: continuous verbs is not on the action having been completed by the present moment, but rather on its having taken place actively over a time period before another moment in the past. The verb tense used in the sentence "She had been walking in the park regularly before I met her" is past perfect continuous because it describes an action ("walking") that was actively happening before a time when something else in the past was happening (when "I met her"). Depending on its usage in a sentence, "past" can be described using a variety of terms. Synonyms for "past" as


title: Past content: an adjective include, "former," "bygone," "earlier," "preceding," and "previous." Synonyms for "past" as a noun include, "history, "background," "life story," and "biography." Synonyms of "past" as a preposition include, "in front of," "beyond," "by," and "in excess of." The word "past" can also be used to describe the offices of those who have previously served in an organization, group, or event such as, "past president," or, "past champions." "Past" can also refer to something or someone being at or in a position that is further than a particular point. For instance, in the sentence, "I live on Fielding Road, just


title: Past content: past the train station," the word "past" is used to describe a location (the speaker's residence) beyond a certain point (the train station). Alternatively, the sentence, "He ran past us at full speed," utilizes the concept of the past to describe the position of someone ("He") that is further than the speaker. The "past" is also used to define a time that is a certain number of minutes before or after a particular hour, as in "We left the party at half past twelve." People also use "past" to refer to being beyond a particular biological age or phase of


title: Past content: being, as in, "The boy was past the age of needing a babysitter," or, "I'm past caring about that problem." The "past" is commonly used to refer to history, either generally or with regards to specific time periods or events, as in, "Past monarchs had absolute power to determine the law in contrast to many European Kings and Queens of today." Nineteenth-century British author Charles Dickens created one of the best-known fictional personifications of the "past" in his short book, "A Christmas Carol." In the story, the Ghost of Christmas Past is an apparition that shows the main character, a

title: "Eye color" content: defects can almost always be observed during an eye examination due to lack of iridial pigmentation. The ocular albino also lacks normal amounts of melanin in the retina as well, which allows more light than normal to reflect off the retina and out of the eye. Because of this, the pupillary reflex is much more pronounced in albino individuals, and this can emphasize the red eye effect in photographs. Heterochromia ("heterochromia iridum" or "heterochromia iridis") is an eye condition in which one iris is a different color from the other (complete heterochromia), or where a part of one iris is

With these house types the wooden posts originally rammed into the ground were replaced by posts supported on a base. The large and well-supported attic enabled large quantities of hay or grain to be stored in dry conditions. This development may have been driven because the weather became wetter over time. Good examples of these houses have been preserved, some dating back to the 16th

The star and crescent motif appears on the margin of Sassanid coins in the 5th century. Sassanid rulers also appear to have used crowns featuring a crescent, sphere and crescent, or star and crescent. Use of the star-and-crescent combination apparently goes back to the earlier appearance of a star and a crescent on Parthian coins, first under King Orodes II (1st century BCE). In these coins, the two symbols occur separately, on either side of the king's head, and not yet in their combined star-and-crescent form.

Ypsilantis went on to say that the Greeks did not need foreign help as they could defeat the Turks on their own before going on to say that Russian support was assured. Because information regarding the existence and the activities of the "Filiki Eteria" had leaked to the Ottoman authorities, Ypsilantis

The travois were used to carry meat harvested during the seasonal hunts; a single dog could pull a quarter of a bison. The Arikara played a central role in the Great Plains Indian trading networks based on an advantageous geographical position combined with a surplus from agriculture and craft. Historical sources show that the Arikara villages were visited by Cree, Assiniboine, Crow, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Sioux, Kiowa, Plains Apache and Comanche.

They were the result in the 1800s of a cross between bulldog ancestors imported from England and local ratters in Paris, France. In 2015, they were the fourth most popular registered dog in the United Kingdom and in the U.S. the sixth most popular AKC registered dog breed. They were rated the third most popular dog in Australia in 2017. The origin of the modern French Bulldog breed descends directly from the dogs of the Molossians, an ancient Greek tribe. The dogs were spread throughout the ancient world

A sub-family of the Mastiff were the Bullenbeisser, a type of dog used for bull-baiting. Blood sports such as bull-baiting were outlawed in England in 1835, leaving these "Bulldogs" unemployed. However, they had been bred for non-sporting reasons since at least 1800, and so their use changed from a sporting breed to a companion breed. To reduce their size, some Bulldogs were crossed with terriers, ratter dogs from the "slums" of England. By 1850 the Toy Bulldog had become common in England, and appeared in conformation shows when they

At the same time, lace workers from Nottingham, displaced by the Industrial Revolution, began to settle in Normandy, France. They brought a variety of dogs with them, including Miniature Bulldogs. The dogs became popular in France and a trade in imported small Bulldogs was created, with breeders in England sending over Bulldogs that they considered to be too small, or with faults such as ears that stood up. By 1860, there were few Miniature Bulldogs left in England,
