![]() Note: the naming convention was changed for the Mirror Universe ships where Patrol and Advanced designations were swapped. T5 Mirror Universe Patrol Escort (no MVAE console, Dominion/Voth lockbox).T5 Advanced Escort (no MVAE console, Dilithium ship).What stands out as unusual is that this ship has no less than six variants released throughout the history of Star Trek Online: A fourth skin was initially introduced as a C-Store option, but was later redacted and added back as an exclusive option for the Fleet variant Hephaestus class. The original had three design variants – Prometheus (based on the Voyager appearance) and two additional styles Cerberus & Phoenix classes. The Advanced Escort was one of the first Z(C)-Store ships I purchased in-game, and ultimately one of the first Fleet variants I added to my collection. Slightly heavier in hull and featuring a standard 4/3 weapons layout, the advanced escort was a common sight in Star Trek Online back when escorts ruled the skies. The ship was an early favorite in Star Trek Online when it was introduced several years ago. Designed by Star Trek: Voyager senior illustrator Rick Sternbach, the model was exclusively CGI and made appearances at the Battle of Procyon V in Enterprise Azati Prime (S03E18) and in Voyager End Game (S07E25). It also contained one of the most advanced science labs in the fleet at that time. As this was the prototype it came fully loaded with regenerative shields, ablative armor and the multi-vector assault mode which allowed the Prometheus to break in to three separate ships. The Prometheus itself was an experimental craft, and the second tactical ship designed for deep space tactical assignments. It was a decent comedic effort, but was an even cooler geek moment with the ships new capabilities. Working with the ships newer model EMH (played by Andy Dick), the Doctor helps defeat the Romulans while using the ships unique ‘Multi-Vector Assault Mode’. The Advanced Escort – or MVA Escort was introduced in the Voyager episode Message in a Bottle (S04E14) where the Voyager crew sends the Doctor through the Hirogen-controlled ancient communications network back to the Federation, only for the Doctor to find himself on an experimental starship stolen by Romulan Operatives. ![]() So here we go -sorry for the wait □ Backstory: With six different releases, this ship has a complex back history spanning almost 4 years. I promised a review back in January, but it sat in my ‘ToDo’ file because every time I looked at it, the review kept getting longer. Commanding officers required a minimum rank of vice admiral or its KDF/RRF equivalents, respectively, to attain command of such a ship.I wish for Lootcritter to make his Hestia-class review! □ In addition, command battlecruisers were equipped with a technology allowing them to inspire Allied crews to improve combat performance.Īll nine command battlecruiser starship classes were tier 6 vessels. Its advanced communications array was capable of relaying battle-critical information instantaneously. The command battlecruiser was designed to function as mobile command center. The Allied militaries Starfleet, the Klingon Defense Force and the Romulan Republican Force developed three modular command battlecruiser starship classes each. Based on after-action reports by its captains, Starfleet Command had the SCE develop the command battlecruiser at the San Francisco Fleet Yards. With a small crew compliment typical for vessels of this size and role, the Escort class vessels are unable to man full medical facilities onboard, but with extensive armour and weaponry, coupled with its speed and agility, this is of minimal concern for astute Captains.įollowing the end of the Federation-Klingon War of 2405-2410 and the advent of the Alpha Quadrant Alliance formed between the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Republic, joint operations were prioritized by Starfleet. The Escort is a Tactical vessel, and any Captain with a thorough understanding of tactical warfare will be able to maximize the effectiveness of their vessel at the forefront of battle. With the ability to equip cannons, these ships are designed to damage and destroy enemy vessels quickly and efficiently, and it is at this single role that they excel. These smaller, more nimble craft are vastly more maneuverable and are built for one purpose and one purpose only. At the forefront of the smallest skirmishes and the largest battles, you will find Federation Escort vessels. ![]() Despite the hurt he has caused her, Rue continues to be in love with Jules, telling her closing voiceover, “Jules is my first love.” It will ultimately be up to the fans to decide whether or not Jules is forgiven, and their opinions will undoubtedly be strong. Despite Jules’ many mistakes, many fans question whether she can be forgiven for her actions, and Rue has chosen to forgive Elliot for his transgressions, which has sparked some debate. An age difference complicates things for the couple because they’ve both had a difficult life experience. The actors who play Rue Jules, Zendaya and Hunter Schafer, are actually 17 years old, but Zendaya is 25 and Hunter is 22. ![]() ![]() Fans have been left wondering if Rue can ever forgive Jules from his past mistakes after a tumultuous on-off relationship. Rue and Jules have had their share of ups and downs in HBO’s hit series Euphoria. Jules’ arm has been cut by Rue, so they return to Jules’ house and Rue cleans it up. ![]() Jules and Rue finally meet at the end of the pilot, and Rue immediately becomes obsessed with her. Rue: “I do, too.” Pilot introduced the relationship between Rue Bennett and Jules Vaughn, also known as Rules, to the world. This couple’s future is unknown at the moment. We can only hope that by the end of the season, we will discover what happens between Rue and Jules in this love triangle and whether it will be deadly. Despite the obvious attraction between Jules and Rue, their relationship has been tested. As a result, a love triangle has emerged, with the addition of enigmatic newcomer Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi). Despite her addiction, Rue has struggled with her relationship with Jules as evidenced in the first few episodes of Season 2. What is Rue Bennett’s boyfriend? Rue and Jules Vaughn (Hunter Schafer), her best friend and lover, were reunited after a difficult first season for Zendaya (played by Emmy-winning actress Zendaya). Love Triangle Complicates Rue And Jules’ Future In ‘euphoria’ Season 2 Although the lack of communication between Rue and Jules is addressed in the Season 2 premiere, their relationship is likely to end in tears. The use of Euphoria to demonstrate Rue’s and Jules’ miscommunication serves to illustrate how their relationship can still go south even if they are clearly in love. Throughout the season, the show’s fans were fascinated by Rue and Jules’ roller coaster emotions, and it could even be revisited in the future. Rue attempted to patch things up with Jules, kissing her on the forehead and walking away, leaving the relationship in tatters. Jules was forced to watch her best friend drift away when she was betrayed by Rue, which ended their friendship. Elliott, the newcomer who quickly established a relationship with Rue, was the source of their tension. Jules and Rue’s drifting apart was caused by Rue’s relapse into substance abuse, which made her much closer to him. In the season finale of HBO’s hit show Euphoria, the tumultuous relationship between Rue and Jules came to an end, as fans of the show will recall. Jules also confides in Rue that she loves Anna in season 1 and sleeps with Elliott behind Rue’s back in season 2. The couple never directly addresses their relationship, but it is obvious that Rue is obsessed with Jules all the time. When she was in ninth grade, she was diagnosed with dysphoria and transitioned. In an interview, she said that the Internet helped her cope with her gender identity, as she used YouTube and social media to learn about people’s transition timelines. Schafer is not only a transgender woman, but she is also a woman of color. The romantic relationship between Rue and Jules is one of the most significant plotlines in both seasons of the show. Finally, we will discuss the importance of allowing queer youth to see themselves represented in popular media. We will look at how Rue’s journey reflects the real-life experiences of LGBTQ+ youth, as well as how her story could help to create a more inclusive world. Is Rue gay, bisexual, or something else entirely? In this article, we will explore the representation of Rue’s sexuality in the show and the implications of her story for queer youth. One of the characters, Rue Bennett, has sparked a great deal of debate among fans over her sexuality. The television show “Euphoria” has been hailed as a groundbreaking series that explores the lives of teenage characters navigating a complex world of drugs, sex, and identity.

Mucosal exposures occur in approximately 22% of trainees per year, but only 17% of those with a mucosal exposure reported the exposure to occupational health. Most percutaneous exposures result from needles intended for intramuscular or subcutaneous injections (30.5%), or from suture needles (18.7%). Despite these declines, percutaneous exposures remain common, particularly among trainees, with an estimated 18% of trainees sustaining a percutaneous exposure annually. Much of this decline was attributed to greater use of effective and safer medical devices, which stemmed from the 2001 Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act and subsequent changes in safety standards implemented by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Data from the University of Virginia Health System suggest the rate of percutaneous exposures decreased markedly from 1999 to 2011, falling from 39.6 injuries per 100 occupied beds in 1999 to 19.5 injuries per 100 occupied beds in 2011 ( Figure 3). In the United States, there are approximately 400,000 annual needlestick or sharps-related injuries to hospital-based HCP, many of which go unreported. The greatest risk of occupational HBV transmission occurs with a needlestick or sharps-related injury. These vaccine-related recommendations, paired with greater needle safety and improved use of standard precautions, led to a dramatic decline in the number of occupational HBV infections, with HBV infections among HCP falling by 98% between 19 ( Figure 2). In 1991, given the ongoing risk for HBV infection among health care personnel who do not respond to the hepatitis B vaccine series, the ACIP recommended consideration of postvaccination serologic testing for HBV in health care personnel at risk for needlestick exposures, and in 1997 ultimately recommended universal HBV postvaccination serologic testing 1 to 2 months after completing the hepatitis B vaccine series for all HCP who have ongoing risk for occupational exposure. In 1983, there were approximately 17,000 HBV infections among HCP, which corresponded to a three-fold higher incidence than in the general population. ![]() Soon after the first vaccines to prevent HBV infection became available in 1981, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended routine vaccination of HCP. Occupational HBV in the United Statesĭuring the 1970s, serologic studies conducted in the United States reported a seroprevalence of HBV among HCP approximately 10 times higher than in the general population. Beginning in the early 1980s, several key developments, recommendations, and policy changes have resulted in a marked reduction in the risk of HCP acquiring HBV in the United States ( Figure 1). For HCP, the potential to acquire HBV via occupational exposure is of particular concern and preventing occupational HBV acquisition is a high priority in the United States health care system. Hepatitis B is a highly infectious blood-borne pathogen that can remain viable on environmental surfaces for at least 7 days and can be transmitted even in the absence of visible blood. Health care personnel (HCP) are at risk for a variety of infectious pathogens following exposure to blood or body fluids, including hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Geisha lore hints that they do fall in love with clients, but the operative word is "client" and the love is not free. They learn that love has no role in this world (although Hatsumomo sets a bad example). Chiyo quickly becomes best friends with Pumpkin ( Youki Kudoh), a girl about her age, and they are raised by the house under a strict discipline that trains them for a lifetime of flattering wealthy men. The house is run by Mother (Kaori Momoi), and its ruling geisha is Hatsumomo (Gong Li). The older girl, although hardly old enough for sex, is sold directly into prostitution, while the 9-year-old Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo) is sold to a geisha house where she will be an unpaid servant until it is determined if she is elegant enough for the house's clientele. That's made clear at the outset, circa 1929, when a widowed fisherman sells his daughters on the human market in Kyoto. There isn't the faintest suggestion of free will, but then free will has never played much of a role in the world of a geisha. They do wonders with their characters, who are trapped in a formula fiction but suggest possibilities they cannot explore. Even in Japan, Zhang and Li outgross any Japanese actress. ![]() The movie was cast partly on the basis of star power: Ziyi Zhang, Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh are not only great beauties and gifted actresses, but box office dynamite. This casting been attacked as ethnically incorrect, but consider that the film was made by a Japanese-owned company the intent was not to discriminate against Japanese, but in favor of the box office. I am not disturbed in the least that the three leading Japanese characters in the film are played by women of Chinese descent. The women are beauties, their world swims in silks and tapestries, smoke and mirrors, and the mysteries of hair when it is up vs. On the level of voluptuous visual beauty, it works if you simply regard it. This is one of the best-looking movies in some time, deserving comparison with " Raise the Red Lantern" (in more ways than one). I could list some Japanese films illustrating this, but the last thing the audience for "Memoirs of a Geisha" wants to see is a more truthful film with less gorgeous women and shabbier production values. Still, I object to the movie not on sociological grounds but because I suspect a real geisha house floated on currents deeper and more subtle than the broad melodrama on display here. But if this movie had been set in the West, it would be perceived as about children sold into prostitution, and that is not nearly as wonderful as "being raised as a geisha." Certainly the traditions of the geisha house are culturally fascinating in their own right. Is the transaction elevated if there is very little sex, a lot of cash, and the prostitute gets hardly any of either? Hard to say. ![]() ![]() These early studies suggested that the H 2O In addition, the water cation radical produced in an inner hydration layer of DNA was considered as a direct-type damage based on the ESR (electron spin resonance) measurements at low temperature. − from steady-state scavenger or time-resolved nanosecond pulse radiolysis measurements were attributed partially to electron transfer from H 2O.The high values for the yields of secondary radicals NO 3 suggested that holes in water could be trapped prior to hydration using sufficiently high concentrations of solutes such as NaX (X = Cl, Br, F, I) or sulfate salts. ![]()

But in 1995, Busweiler abandoned Pervert to join a cult, and Heath and Babenzien decided to leave the brand.įollowing their departure from Pervert, the duo briefly went to work for another Miami-based streetwear brand, Mankind. He designed graphics for Pervert with just pen, paper, and a Xerox machine while working at Busweiler’s store, Animal Farm. Heath, an Atlanta native who moved to Miami Beach in 1989, also joined the Pervert team. Babenzien moved down to Miami to help Busweiler, a childhood friend from Long Island. The demise of Pervert, a Miami based streetwear brand founded by Don Busweiler, led to the formation of Supreme’s original design crew. ![]() Even when Pervert fell apart and Brendon came up to New York to start working at Supreme, it was the same thing. ![]() “You would run into people in the business and ask a million questions to try and learn. Everyone grew up wanting to make skate T-shirts, but nobody went to school or was properly educated,” says Heath, Supreme’s first hired graphic designer who learned how to print T-shirts when his mother gave him a screenprinting kit at 14. But Babenzien, Heath, and Galan, three guys who never graduated from fashion school nor had a lot of experience designing clothes, helped create the foundation for Supreme apparel, and ultimately, a blueprint for how streetwear and luxury brands designed clothing and utilized graphics. Often times the media focuses on Jebbia, who has always been Supreme’s main conductor. Enter the first Supreme design hires: Brendon Babenzien, Geoff Heath, and Augie Galan. Jebbia had experience curating and selling clothing through running the Union and Stussy stores in New York, which opened in 19, respectively, but he needed a design team to make product. So I had to start making more Supreme products to fill the stores.” “I had to conceive Supreme because actually opened three stores in really quick succession and he didn’t have anything to sell. “Up until that point, I had simply looked at Supreme as a skateboard store and not really a brand itself,” Jebbia told Rizzoli in an interview published in the Supreme book, which was released in 2010. It was a meeting that redefined Jebbia’s vision. Japanese consumers were enamored with Supreme and Omura approached Jebbia about opening Supreme stores in the country. So how did Supreme become the apparel company that collaborates with French fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Jean Paul Gaultier? It all started with a Japanese businessman named Ken Omura who runs the distribution company OneGram in Japan. But there weren’t any Gore-Tex jackets, quirky accessories or mohair cardigans-the pieces that have become synonymous with its coveted drops. The store launched with three T-shirts: one featuring an image of Robert Deniro from Taxi Driver, another showcasing a photo of a skater with an afro, and one with the store’s much coveted box logo-only 60 of each were made. Customers could get their skateboards setup, or buy hardware and apparel from skate brands like Zoo York and Shorty’s. The shop was conveniently located near iconic skate spots like the Astor Place cube and the Brooklyn Banks. When he opened Supreme’s doors in April of 1994 it was one of the only skateboard shops in SoHo, and he wanted to create a clubhouse for New York’s budding skateboard scene downtown. Having a major clothing brand was never something James Jebbia, Supreme’s founder, envisioned. |
