![]() ![]() This layout forever changed the sports car world, creating a new standard for supercar design still in use today. Yet the brand’s most influential vehicle came in 1966 when Lamborghini released the transverse mid-engine design in the Miura. ![]() The Lamborghini 350T was one of the early models that hit the mark Ferruccio was shooting at. Lamborghini used some of his earned wealth to found Automobili Lamborghini in 1963, focused on creating premium grand tourers to compete with the world’s best. As a passionate engineer, he started a tractor-manufacturing business in 1948 that proved successful during Italy’s post-WWII economic boom. Some people might have trouble living up to this philosophy, but Italian Ferruccio Lamborghini is not one of those. If the world doesn’t have what you want, create it. Why not some cash for other adventures? About Lamborghini History of Lamborghini It’s a stunning vehicle in all aspects, featuring the typical razor-sharp lines and oversized V-10 engine, currently valued between $80,000 to $200,000. This is the first Lambo SUV and features an Audi-sourced twin-turbo V-8 engine, something quite unusual for a luxury automaker that puts naturally-aspirated V-10 and V-12 engines into almost every other model.įor a more characteristic Lamborghini, check out the markets for the Gallardo. The lowest Lamborghini car price right off the showroom floor is the Lamborghini Urus SUV, starting at an estimated $230,000. And the ground-breaking Lamborghini Miura’s current estimated value from $1 million to $3 million might be a tough pill to swallow, even for those with deep pockets. The ultra-light Lamborghini Sesto Elemento had an original $2.92 million price. This rare beauty features the most aggressive styling of any Lambo, and the current price estimates for pristine examples hover around $11 million. With only eight units produced, the Lamborghini Veneno‘s original price was the most expensive at a whopping $4 million. ![]() Yet that’s just the starting point for many more exclusive Lamborghini models. The over half-million dollar price tag agrees, with a starting Lamborghini Aventador price of $507,300. The Aventador price steps up to a gargantuan V-12 engine with as much raw power as you can handle. Prices rise as quickly as the Lamborghini gets off the line. And for the first-ever Lamborghini SUV Urus, you can drop that down to $230,000. The incredible V-10 Lamborghini Huracan price starts at a relatively modest $248,300. The starting price for a Lamborghini might be lower than you think. And as a result, the Lamborghini price tags are some of the most expensive around, especially for the ultra-exclusive special variants and track-focused models. Not many brands push the boundaries of what’s possible like Lamborghini. Lamborghini price How much is a Lamborghini? Revenue: $1.3 billion to $1.8 billion USD (est.) Uncompromising mechanics fuse with the aggressive appearance to slice through the air, bellowing like a bull as they tear down the pavement. Just a massive V-10 or V-12 naturally-aspirated engine under the lightweight skin of almost every Lamborghini model. You won’t find forced induction or massive electrical jolts. The soul of Lamborghini is a simple mix of gasoline, spark, and air. ![]() ![]() He asked that the original attempted murder charge against Peeler be dismissed, “due to the untimely demise of the alleged victim, Rudolph Snead.” Shortly after his murder arrest last June, Peeler’s attorney made a macabre motion. set himself up to become the key to two cases against Peeler. identified Russell Peeler as the shooter. Later, shown a collection of mug shots, B.J. Two shots hit Snead’s car and one grazed his head. saw the man in the front passenger seat lean out the window and fire a gun at Snead. ![]() was riding with Snead when a car pulled alongside them near a highway entrance ramp just north of Bridgeport’s downtown. had seen was an earlier attempt on Snead’s life. People began to say that only an innocent child was brave enough to testify against a stone-cold killer and that B.J. Their failure as witnesses added to the mystique that would grow around B.J. But all claimed they couldn’t see the gunman’s face. One told police that he heard Snead call out as he lay dying, It was Russell, yo. It was still daylight early on the evening of May 29, 1998, when a hooded gunman walked into the busy Boston Avenue Barbershop on one of Bridgeport’s main business drags and fired seven shots at Snead, who was 28, while he talked on the telephone.Īt the time, there were half a dozen customers in the barbershop. The boy would have been an important witness and Snead’s murder had been brazen. The Post headline linking B.J.’s death to Peeler’s trial was hardly sensational. In January, Peeler, a young man reputed to be a small-time drug dealer, was nearing his trial for the murder of Karen Clarke’s fiance, Rudolph Snead Jr. Suspicion, bordering on conviction, fell on the man against whom B.J. ![]() Thus, when Samuels, who recently was promoted to sergeant, stopped on Earl Avenue and talked about how easy it would have been for the killer to have entered B.J.’s house and disappear down the overgrown hill, he didn’t have to say who the killer might have been. And the killer had taken the boy’s mother with him. Somehow, someone was depraved enough to kill a child to shut him up. hadn’t been shot to death in a private, bloody rage. Nevertheless, the judgment in Bridgeport and in the national media, which swept down on the story, was instant. Until there at least was an arrest, no one could presume to know why B.J. “Boy, mother slain: 8-year-old was eyewitness in trial of brazen murder,” said the first-day headline in the Post. The attorneys questioned Peeler’s decision to seek the petition, or writ of habeas corpus, often a convict’s last-resort bid for a new trial, saying the legal move was premature since the appeal of his death sentence was not complete and still in the briefing stage.There was one additional fact, however, that was reported from the start and it transformed the murders from the merely repugnant to the appalling. Last month, Peeler’s attorneys filed a motion seeking a competency evaluation for Peeler. He noted one recent case in which Kestenband argued successfully on behalf of a client who ultimately received a reduced sentence.īright, however, disagreed with the attorneys that Peeler should be given a competency exam, saying Peeler, 42, understands what he is facing in court and can assist in his counsel. Kestenband are some of the “best” attorneys in the state handling habeas petitions. Bright told Peeler that attorneys William H. VERNON - A Superior Court judge Thursday rejected condemned killer Russell Peeler Jr.’s bid to fire his attorneys on the eve of a hearing on his petition for a new trial. ![]() ![]() ![]() Six years later, the company reformulated Opana ER with the intent to make it harder for people to snort or inject it.īut a review of postmarketing data showed that the reformulation may have encouraged users to shift from snorting Opana to injecting the painkiller by mixing it with large volumes of solvent. The request from the FDA to remove Opana from the market marked the first time the federal regulatory watchdog urged a company to remove an opioid due to concerns of abuse.Įndo’s Opana ER won FDA approval in 2006 for the management of moderate-to-severe pain. “To the contrary, Endo remains confident in the clinical research and other data demonstrating Opana ER’s safety and efficacy, as well as its favorable risk-benefit profile when used as intended in appropriate patients.” “Endo reiterates that neither the FDA’s withdrawal request nor Endo’s decision to voluntarily remove Opana ER from the market reflect a finding that the product is not safe or effective when taken as prescribed,” the company wrote in a statement. The company stands by the safety and efficacy of its pain-relief product. Opana brought in $158.9 million in net sales in 2016. ![]() To write off the remaining net book value of the product, Endo said it expects to incur a pre-tax impairment charge of $20 million in the 2nd quarter of this year. The move comes just weeks after the FDA asked the company to pull the plug on its opioid, arguing that the benefits of the abuse-deterrent drug no longer outweigh the risks. ![]() Endo Pharmaceuticals (NSDQ: ENDP) said today that it will voluntarily pull its Opana ER painkiller from the market. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The Giant" includes the original characters, Tank Dempsey, Edward Richtofen, Nikolai Belinski and Takeo Masaki. The map features four brand new characters: Nero the Magician, Jessica the Femme Fatale, Vincent the Cop and Campbell the Boxer as the main cast, and takes place in a new setting called Morg City. Shadows of Evil was revealed as a new map for the Zombies mode on July 9, 2015, at San Diego Comic-Con International 2015. Unlockable items include "Gobblegums", which grant players with temporary bonuses, and weapon kits that allow players to modify the appearance and attributes of the guns with various camos and attachments. Zombies features a new XP progression system, which allows players to unlock items in a similar fashion to multiplayer and campaign. Zombies Ĭall of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombies takes place over a variety of different locations as well as different points in time. The Paintshop feature allows players to create their own custom prints onto specific portions of a gun, further emphasizing the depth of customization in the game. A new "Gunsmith" feature offers aesthetic variations in weapon attachments, allowing various weapon customization combinations. Blackjack is able to mimic the abilities of other specialists, and is only playable for a short amount of time upon completing a set of challenges. In a later update, a tenth specialist named Blackjack was added to the game. In addition to the Pick 10 class system from Black Ops II, Treyarch implemented a character system called "Specialists", where players can pick from 9 different soldiers, each with either a special weapon or ability unique to them. The multiplayer introduces a new momentum based movement system, which utilizes thruster packs to allow players to perform slow boosts into the air, as well as perform wall running and sliding, all the while giving players complete gun control. Finishing all campaign missions will also unlock "Nightmares" mode, where players can replay the entire campaign with a new narrative, as well as zombies replacing most of the normal enemies. The game features a "realistic" difficulty mode, in which players will get defeated if they are hit by one bullet. The campaign features its own progression system, featuring unlock tokens which must be used to acquire different weapons and gears as they progress through the campaign. In addition, the player can customize their character's appearance and clothing. The campaign in Black Ops III is designed to support 4-player cooperative gameplay, allowing for bigger, more open level design and less corridor shooting. A sequel, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, was released on October 12, 2018. It was a commercial success, with it becoming the top-selling retail game in the US in 2015, and one of the most successful titles released for the eighth generation of video game consoles.įollowing the years after its release, Black Ops III has gained a cult following and the online modes still remain active, with an average of over 10,000 players a month. The seventh-generation console versions in particular were singled-out for their lack of a campaign and numerous features, as well as them being online-only. However, it was also criticized for its story and lack of innovation. Upon release, the game received generally positive reviews from critics, praising the gameplay, Zombies mode, and amount of content. The game also features a standalone Zombies campaign mode, and a "Nightmares" mode which replaces all enemies as zombies.Īnnounced in April 2015, the game is the first Call of Duty video game released after Activision ended its partnership with Microsoft Studios and instead partnered with Sony Computer Entertainment, which secured the timed exclusivity of the game's downloadable content. As the player character is cybernetically enhanced, players have access to various special activities. The game's campaign is designed to support 4-player cooperative gameplay, allowing for bigger, more open level design and less corridor shooting. ![]() ![]() Similar to its predecessors, the story follows a group of black ops soldiers. A feature-limited version developed by Beenox and Mercenary Technology that only supports multiplayer modes was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and was also the final Call of Duty title released on those platforms.īlack Ops III takes place in 2065, 40 years after the events of Black Ops II, in a world facing upheaval from climate change and new technologies. It was released on PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on November 6, 2015. It is the twelfth entry in the Call of Duty series and the sequel to the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Call of Duty: Black Ops III is a 2015 first-person shooter game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Redline Mach Shorty exhaust kit is Solo's mid-range sound exhaust kit for the Saturn Redline. Our Mach Shorty has a no drone, deep, bassey and rich exhaust note that is made for the car enthusiasts who wants to hear their roadster roar. This kit was developed for customers who wants their Redline to sound louder than our traditional Mach exhaust kit (but quieter than our Redline street race kit.) This is the exact same kit as the Mach except the muffler on this kit is only 11" long. With the Red Line rolling out with a $29,795 starting price, the combo of eye-catching styling, robust engine, low price, and daily driving comfort made it a solid choice for small roadster shoppers.The Redline Mach Shorty exhaust kit is Solo's mid-range sound exhaust kit for the Saturn Redline. Inside, the Red Line got blessed with specially embroidered seats and floor mats, metallic door sill covers, stainless-steel pedals, special tachometer and gauges, and a digital boost gauge in the Driver Information Center. To help the Red Line look the part, GM shod it with 18-inch wheels, wrapped the steering with leather, cloaked the front with a Red Line-specific fascia, and prepped the powertrain with dual exhausts. Notably, the enhanced sport suspension was available as a dealer-add-on for regular Sky models. Introduced at the 2006 New York Auto Show, the Saturn Red Line stood out from the base Sky model with a spec sheet including enhanced sport suspension, standard torque-sensing limited-slip differential, and standard StabiliTrak stability control. They also featured a removable silver racing stripe accenting the exterior color.Īs stated earlier, the Red Line got power from the same 260-hp Ecotec engine as the Solstice, paired with a standard five-speed Aisin manual and optional automatic transmission. The same goes for the matching blue color of the word “Sky” stitched into the seats. The Hydro Blue, of course, wore matching blue-colored stitching in the seats and gear shifter. The Ruby Red was a special Red Line trim draped in ruby red coating, accented with a unique, removable carbon racing stripe exclusive to the 500 Ruby Red trim. ![]() Two years in, GM added the Ruby Red and Hydro Blue special editions, both VIN-coded and rocking Monsoon premium stereos, to announce their special status. We prefer the Red Line for two primary reasons – the stiffer suspension that improved handling around twisty roads and nearly two seconds faster zero to 60 mph acceleration. We don’t need a soothsayer to know the Red Line is our preferred variant of the single-gen Saturn Sky model line. The comparatively short-lived Saturn Sky spawned several limited editions before it was all over, including the 2008 Carbon Flash Limited Edition Saturn Sky, the 2009 Hydro Blue Limited Edition, and the Red Ruby Special Edition. The Opel GT has all the same specs as the Sky Redline, including the turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec engine pumping out 260 horsepower. Notably, the Sky and the Opel GT are practically identical, except that they got sold in different markets. With the Saturn Sky riding on the Kappa platform, it shared underpinnings not only with the Pontiac Solstice GXP but also the Opel GT and Daewoo G2X Turbo. Customers had the option to marry the engine to a five-speed manual or automatic transmission, both for the regular and updated unit. There was also an optional dealer-installed turbo upgrade kit that spiked the output to 290 horsepower. As stated earlier, the automaker later introduced an updated version of the inline-four, a turbocharged 2.0-liter direct-injected engine churning out 260 horsepower. It sat on 18-inch wheels, propelled by a 2.4-liter Ecotec LE5 inline-four engine that produced 177 horsepower. The Sky featured a 95.1-inch wheelbase, 161.1 inches long and 71.4 inches wide. Both the Solstice and Sky got built at the marque’s Wilmington Assembly plant in Delaware. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() After surgery, the incision is sutured and covered with a splint. Surgery includes making an incision over the fracture, followed by alignment and fixation of the fractured bone using plates and screws. In severe cases, surgery may be recommended and is performed under local or general anesthesia. Physical therapy is recommended to regain the strength and movement of the hand. A follow-up X-ray can be taken to confirm the alignment and healing process. The fractured hand is wrapped with forearm-based splints or a cast to immobilize the bone to promote natural healing. ![]() Metacarpal fracture or dislocation can be treated non-surgically by aligning the fractured bones and checking the movement of fingers, under local anesthesia. In cases of complex fractures, other imaging techniques such as CT scan and MRI may also be necessary. The diagnosis of metacarpal fracture includes physical examination and X-ray of the hand to confirm the exact location of the fracture. Metacarpal fracture can even affect the movement of the fingers. Pain may be intense with movement of the hand. The main symptoms that arise from metacarpal fractures are pain and swelling along with bruising in the inner or outer palm area Misalignment or deformity may be visible. The common causes involved in metacarpal fractures include: In severe cases surgery may be recommended. Metacarpal fractures need immediate treatment that include proper alignment and casting of the bones to ensure proper healing. Structurally, metacarpal bones can be divided into four parts- base, shaft, neck, and head. Metacarpals consist of five long bones that connect the carpals with the phalanges. The hand is composed of 3 types of bones – carpals or wrist bones, metacarpals or long hand bones, and phalanges or finger bones. Metacarpal fractures can damage associated soft tissues such as cartilage, ligament, tendons, joint capsule, as well as adjoining nerves. Metacarpal fracture is a condition characterized by the breakage or dislocation of the long hand bones called metacarpals that form the skeleton of the palm. ![]() ![]() The perceptual durations of two incongruent stimuli did not differ systematically as a function of a simultaneously presented auditory stimulus. The results found by Lobinski provide no evidence that the tone frequency of a stimulus has an effect on the perception of areas of different brightness. Using binocular rivalry and eye tracking, the goal was to validate previous findings that higher tones are associated with brighter hues and lower tones are associated with darker hues. Moritz Lobinski wrote a bachelor thesis on the topic "Measuring the association of pitch and brightness using binocular rivalry and eye tracking" in the bachelor program Sensory and Cognitive Psychology. Of fundamental interest is the question of whether an electronic band structure forms in these materials despite the randomly occupied lattice, which could be clarified in the work by means of photoemission measurements. As part of his work, Henning developed a "recipe" to deposit single crystalline CoCrFeNi films on MgO and Al 2O 3 substrates. Therefore, the aim of the bachelor thesis was to close this gap and to produce high entropy alloys in single crystalline form. Even though there are already isolated studies on the surface physics of HEA, the electronic and structural properties of HEA surfaces are still very poorly understood because the crystalline HEA required for surface physics studies has not been easy to realize so far. The resulting variety of compositions and microstructures is of particular interest in a wide range of fields: increased hardness and corrosion resistance are ideal for technical applications, while HEA also serve as catalysts, in the electrolysis of hydrogen. HEA consist of at least four different elements, the molar content of which in the alloy is in the range between 5 and 35 percent, with the atomic lattice sites in the crystal being randomly occupied. ![]() The research field of high entropy alloys (HEA) is attracting increasing attention due to promising properties for applications and the prospect of fundamental discoveries. Peter Henning has written a bachelor thesis on "Sputter deposition of single crystalline thin films of the high entropy alloy CoCrFeNi" as part of his bachelor course in physics. The two students remain loyal to TUC even after the very good completion of their bachelor's degree and are currently studying in the master's programs in Physics and Sensory Science and Cognitive Psychology. ![]() Zahn, chairman of the Chemnitz Förderverein für Physik e.
