Being a tween is hard. I am good at dancing, singing, drama, gymnastics and track. I play violin and flute, do well in school and have friends. But there are two pieces missing from the puzzle that would make me completely happy.
Fashion and looks.
A lot of parents and teachers say that looks don’t matter, but to me they do. Facial appearance, clothes, shoes, hairstyles, it is all part of fitting in. I have always been fond about these things. I love dressing in fashion, and drawing it too. I went to a fashion camp, which was really fun, and we learned about which shirts match which pants, and how to make a good outfit.
When I saw a lot of my friends wearing Uggs, leggings, Under Armour, and Converse, I thought they looked super cute. I had realized that all the people that were wearing those things were super likable, popular or both. Usually you are likable because of your personality, but you are popular because of how you look or dress. I have always wanted to be one of those people. So I figured that if I have those clothes, and wear makeup and all of that I would look prettier, be more likable, have lots of friends, but most importantly fit in with the rest of the kids.
My mom asked if I would be interested in writing about Under Armour’s kids’ line of clothes. Yeah. Duh. Sometimes moms ask the silliest questions. My mom didn’t tell me the package was coming though! When I saw the Under Armour, I immediately thought the colors and the design were awesome!!!!!! You could probably tell from the unboxing video that I was a little bit excited.
I may be a tween, but i can still be a kid. I love swinging, and going down the slide. I will never get too old for these things. Under Armour clothes let me be a kid, feel fashionable and be comfortable all at the same time.
If you haven’t looked at Under Armour lately, they have a lot of variety of colors and designs. Some of them have sayings, some of them have the Under Armour logo and I have even seen shirts with a skeleton shaped as the Under Armour logo. That’s cool for boys, but I wish they would add a sparkly or rainbow logo to their line. I also wish they had a shirt that says “be proud of who you are.” I really need one that says “My happiness glows out of these clothes” because that’s how I feel when I wear Under Armour!
Under Armour is AGAIN on my holiday wish list and my parents can find some really cute stuff at several retail stores and online. I’ve even added Under Armour shoes to my list because a lot of people say they are comfy. I love almost all of their stuff.
Is there a tween in your family that is as crazy for Under Armour as I am?
90,000 from knightly armor to smart workwear
From metal buttons to the futuristic exoskeleton of the American military, which came to the real world from the pages of popular comics. From the iron brigandines of medieval dandies to modern fire-resistant clothing for main pipelines and hot shops.
The steel suit has gone through a long evolutionary path, and after a temporary retreat in front of a deadly “firearm” it again conquers the battlefields and is widely used in the latest industries.
The ancestors of skins and cotton wool
The first armor of mankind covered … the backs of warriors. For the Germanic tribes who stormed the Roman Empire, it was not considered shameful to escape from the battlefield. They defended the chest by dodging. But the back, vulnerable when fleeing, was covered with thick animal skins, throwing them over the shoulders. Servicemen of ancient Egypt and Greece wore multilayer glued and quilted clothing as military armor. The Mexican Aztecs greeted the Spaniards in quilted wadded coats a couple of fingers thick.In turn, the Spanish conquistadors borrowed the idea from the Mexicans. And in medieval Europe, similar protective clothing was used more than widely, until the 16th century. By the way, the famous Caucasian cloak, it turns out, is also an armor. Made of wool using felting technology, the burka is invulnerable to steel sabers, arrows and even some types of bullets.
Metal Armor: Major Milestones
Another ancient idea of protective clothing was borrowed from animals.The scaled skin of one of them – pangolin – was widely used as armor by Indian noble warriors – the Rajputs. They began to imitate the scaly body of copper in ancient Mesopotamia. Then bronze went into action, followed by steel. It was steel scale armor, simple to manufacture and very durable, that was most popular among the warriors of the East and West. To make the scales, it was required to forge small steel plates that were attached with an overlap. Due to its small size, the steel scales did not break, it was impossible to cut or pierce it.
Note that not all armor was made of steel. For example, the equally common “chain mail” and “brigandina” were made, as a rule, of iron. Chain armor is believed to have been invented by the Celts. The two oldest examples of chain mail in the world have been found in neighboring Romania and date back to the 3rd century. BC NS. At first, the style of mail armor most of all resembled a long T-shirt with short sleeves. Later, the sleeves became long, the “T-shirt” was supplemented with chain mail stockings and a hood.Now the chain mail completely covered the body and was called hauberka.
Chain armor was made using a wire drawing device. The wire was chopped into rings. They, in turn, were riveted, and later welded. But experts still argue about the degree of protection of chain mail. The fact is that the wire can only be drawn from relatively soft and ductile iron. Therefore, the chain mail was easily pressed and pierced. In a battle with an enemy armed with a mace or sword, she was simply useless.However, from the Celts to the early 17th century. iron mail armor was the main element of a warrior’s outfit in Europe, and in Asia they were used until the 19th century.
Brigandina – a kind of “two in one”. This armor served as both a secular dress and protection from attack. The brigandine’s iron plates were attached to fabric or leather, and from above were trimmed with velvet or silk. By the end of the XII century, the brigandine “acquired” sleeves and became shorter. With lacing in the front or fasteners on the sides, with a belt that tightly tightens the waist, with copper ornaments attached to a metal frame, the brigandine was a wild success among the commoners and the nobility.But it was gradually replaced by another fashionable novelty – armor.
Steel armor – facts and myths
Plate armor was undoubtedly the finest examples of medieval metallurgical art. The armor required a relatively large amount of steel and was rather difficult to manufacture. Their mass production was established only in the middle of the XIV century.
Lats guaranteed their owner full protection. The “Achilles heel” of this armor was only the slits for the eyes and armpits.These were knights’ clothes, which were made to order for a lot of money. One set could buy an entire village.
Interestingly, contrary to popular belief, medieval armor was neither critically heavy nor critically uncomfortable. Indeed, their weight was about three dozen kilograms. But it was more or less evenly distributed throughout the body, and knightly fights were mainly equestrian. An interesting fact – the equipment of a modern infantryman weighs about the same.Therefore, it is not surprising that in plate armor one can not only walk, but also run, fight with swords and even climb a rope ladder, which has been repeatedly proved by reenactors today. And if a noble knight in armor fell, he could well rise on his own, and did not lie on the ground like a beetle, waiting for the help of the faithful Sancho Panza.
Wounded in battle is another matter. Sometimes even the most insignificant, but bleeding wound of a warrior in armor became fatal. The fact is that it is almost impossible to remove such armor on your own.But the most insidious enemy of the knight in steel armor was rust – the metal required special care. Oil was used as an anti-corrosion treatment, and in peacetime the armor was stored wrapped in several layers of dense fabric. However, plate armor was displaced from the battlefields not by corrosion, but by firearms. Lead bullets easily pierced armor, and steel armor from the reliable protection of a medieval knight has become a requisite for staged knightly tournaments of our days.
Steel suits of modern times
However, one should not think that the XX and XXI centuries got only the inglorious role of imitators of the steel robes of antiquity.
The medieval Don Quixotes are being replaced by the heroes of our time – the characters of the cinematic universe of Marvel, the American military elite and workers of modern industrial enterprises!
First, a few words about the famous Iron Man, richer genius Tony Stark. Since 1963, he puts on his unique armor – an exoskeleton – to transform into Iron Man, modifying armor and weapons depending on his own tasks, situations and even climatic conditions.
All this is fiction, you say, and you will be right until the “legend destroyer” from the United States and the Pentagon comes into play.
So, last summer the famous “legend destroyer” and producer Adam Savage launched a new show Savage Builds on the popular science channel Discovery and has already assembled a working analogue of the Iron Man suit. The armor was 3D printed using titanium, nylon and fiberglass. The armor turned out to be very durable – they, unlike the medieval “ancestors”, do not take bullets.Moreover, in an Iron Man suit equipped with a jetpack, Savage was even able to fly.
In turn, the US Army has been experimenting with exoskeleton technology for several years that can turn a simple infantryman into a real super-soldier. The idea is to unload the fighter: in some cases, a bulletproof vest, helmet, night vision goggles, walkie-talkies and other gadgets in total “pull” by 40-65 kg, which is several times higher than the level of a comfortable load. As a result, the soldier feels an excess of physical stress and fatigue even before the start of hostilities.Therefore, a military exoskeleton should be light – about 20 kg, and combine the properties of ideal steel armor and an ultra-modern set of gadgets. Neither metallurgists, nor electronics engineers did not let us down. The matter is small – so far the experimental samples are equipped with not very convenient power sources. But here, too, one can see rapid progress: the first exoskeletons for the Pentagon consumed 6000 watts, now – only 400 watts.
And let’s dwell separately on modern steel materials, which serve as the basis for the manufacture of workwear.Here, as an example, we can cite the products of the BEKAERT company, which is considered the world leader in the production of steel wire and products from it. Let’s say a protective suit made of anti-static textiles. It is made either entirely of stainless steel, or with an admixture of fibers from a more familiar material – wool or cotton. Such clothing can dissipate any electrostatic charge and provide grounding for the wearer. The so-called smart textiles, which react to any changes in the environment, have a similar composition.And for specialists who, by the nature of their work, work with sharp instruments, special gloves have been invented that cannot be cut. The steel filaments from which they are made are 35 microns thick and cut resistant due to their extraordinary flexibility.
This is how the history of steel suits, step by step, reflects the history of human civilization and the development of metallurgical technologies. After a short respite, steel “armor” is back in vogue, and modern science, the army and business have already found the widest field for them for practical application.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance – guide to the best armor (armor)
Reading 7 min.
Find out which armors in Kingdom Come: Deliverance are the best and where to find them
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance , the armor is divided into five main varieties:
plate;
lamellar;
brigantine;
gambeson;
chain mail.
But Indro’s equipment is not limited to the choice of one of these five types of armor, since in fact the protagonist has more slots.
Below are all available slots, as well as the items that can be equipped in them:
6 hand slots – shields, melee weapons, ranged weapons, arrows, spurs and rings.
6 chest slots – outer robe, body armor, chain mail, body clothing, gloves, arm ruffles.
4 slots for legs – chain mail for legs, pants, armor for legs, shoes.
The easiest way to get equipment in the game is to loot the corpses of fallen opponents. Other options are to buy equipment from merchants in Talmberg, Samopesh, Ratay and other cities. Low-tier armor is sold in the first two cities.
Armor parameters
How to understand which armor is better? The obvious rule is that the best armor is always the most expensive, so you need to look for it from merchants.
In addition, you will always need to decide which items of equipment you want to equip on Indro, based on their parameters. Each item protects Indro from piercing, slashing and blunt damage, and also provides additional characteristics outside of combat, including charm, visibility and invisibility (in fact, these are two similar, but partially different parameters).
Selection of armor in the game – the search for balance. If one of the items of equipment protects Indro as much as possible from piercing blows, then use the other to protect against cutting, etc.d.
How to repair armor
Each individual piece of armor has its own quality. Blacksmiths, armors, and gunsmiths can repair armor or weapons. On the other hand, only a blacksmith can repair almost destroyed armor, while armor men repair medium-quality items. Depending on how worn out the armor, you will have to pay a certain amount of pennies. It also depends on the total cost of a particular item.
You can also repair your own armor by purchasing an armor repair kit.Before doing this, you will have to increase the skill of repairing Indro. This is done with a sharpening stone – regularly sharpen a sword on it. Be careful: different repair kits are used for armor and normal clothing.
Armor cleanliness
Although you can find large tubs of water in villages and towns that allow Indro to wash and clean his clothes, they will not achieve perfect cleanliness with their help. Dirty armor scares off many people, lowers your charm.For a complete cleaning of your armor, visit the baths, which are found in most major cities. We’ll have to pay a little pennies.
Where to find Talmberg’s armor
This set of armor includes some of the first well-defended armor you can get early in the game. You can get them if you talk to Stephanie and decide to leave Talmberg without arousing suspicion from the guards of the city. The armor is hidden in a secluded place, so not all players were able to find it at the very beginning and escape from the fortress in other ways.
Guard at the gate
The task related to finding armor will appear after talking with the guard at the main gate of Talmberg. Tell him that you want to bury your parents, and he will say that he will only help if you disguise yourself. You will need a lockpick, and if you didn’t get it from Fricek in the prologue (when dealing with your father’s debtor), you can buy it from a local merchant located nearby.If you do not have pennies, then steal some things and sell them to Wotawa. Ideally, this should be food that is never marked as stolen.
Necessary chest
As soon as there is a master key, then go to the courtyard of the castle. Immediately go to the right side, up the steps to get to the wall.You could have patrolled her earlier. As soon as you go up, immediately look to the right and you will find a small room with a locked chest. The lock should be light. After going inside and closing the door, pick the lock. Before doing this, it is advisable to save, since the master key may be broken and you will have to collect pennies for another. There will be Talmberg Armor inside the chest.
Where to find the armor of St. George
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has several treasure maps that point to various “graves” or abandoned huts that contain hidden treasures, including weapons and armor.Regardless of whether you have a map or not, you can always stumble upon the place where the treasure is buried. In one of these places is the armor of St. George, a complete set.
Armor location
Go to Neuhof, move up the map and go to the fork.Turn right (east) and follow straight until you see an abandoned camp on your left. Approach him and find a chest there. Hack it to retrieve the armor of St. George, which has a total value of 10,000 pennies. There is also the sword of St. George, which requires 13 units of strength.
NOTE . Do not forget that it is possible to equip armor and weapons on a character with lower characteristics (than stated on items), but it is not recommended – their effectiveness will significantly decrease.
Where to find the knight wandering armor
While traveling around the world (fast travel), you may stumble upon a traveler. One of these might be a wandering knight, with whom you can fight for his armor or sword. If you don’t want to suffer and you have unlocked stealth kills, then sneak up on him from behind and finish off without fighting. To do this, you must have a dagger in your inventory.
A knight can be equipped with regular or plate armor.
This set of armor will be harder to get than the rest, as you will have to fight heavily armed opponents to get it. Plus you need a horse.
The best set of clothes for a thief (covert movement)
Stealing is one of the most profitable activities in the game, but only if no one catches you. In this part of the article, I would like to touch on the question of finding the best clothes for a thief in the early stages of the game.
To increase your successful theft and the chance that no one will find you, you need to focus on three additional parameters of Indro.
We are talking about noise, visibility and conspicuousness. These are the main attributes that should be used to reduce the likelihood of detection and increase the chances of successful theft.
Think of visibility as a disguise. A visibility of 100 means you are as visible as the sun in a cloudless sky. Reducing visibility significantly reduces the likelihood that people will notice illegal activities on the part of Indro. Wearing brightly colored armor sets you apart from commoners and beggars in the city.You should choose dark, casual clothing.
As far as noise goes, it has to do with your armor. Plate elements or metal chains increase the noise level, while soft fabrics reduce it.
The best clothes for a thief in the game are as follows:
dark Saxon gambeson;
trendy green pants;
soft coif;
silent (quiet) shoes.
This is what your thief will look like
When using only these items on Indro, you will lower the visibility to 25 units, the signature to 75, and the noise will be below 10 points.All of these items can be bought from the tailor, armorer and shoemaker in Ratai. It will take about 1000 pennies, but soon you will return them with stolen goods. On the other hand, you will have to look for different mills in order to sell stolen things (millers have limited money), or unlock a skill for sale to ordinary merchants in cities.
In the Hollywood remake of the anime “Ghost in the Shell”, the armor was left without a ghost
“Now we look as if through a dull glass, but once we looked eye to eye,” said Major-cyborg Kusanagi, the heroine of the anime “Ghost in the Shell “(1995) Mamoru Oshii.In the remake of the major, Scarlett Johansson is played live, the computer picture is polished to a shine, but all the main things that were in the Japanese original can be seen as if through a dull glass. Barely discernible. And before it was – eye to eye.
Major (now named Mira) still wants to know who she is, who she was. She has an artificial body and a human brain. A doctor from a secret government program (Juliette Binoche) tells her that the body could not be saved after the disaster, but there is a catch.Although in the new world most people are already half-gadgets (and this is fashionable), the major is unique. You can replace your legs, arms, eyes, or liver (and brag that you are now ready to drink all night without consequences), but leave only the human brain for the time being.
(And Scarlett Johansson is no stranger to the role of a test subject – three years ago, in Luc Besson’s film Lucy, her heroine’s brain evolved with terrible force.) and represents a danger, but also because he hopes to get an answer from him to his main question: what really happened to her?
Unlike the original 1995, they meet quite quickly, and the chest opens easily. The hacker is the result of a previous – unsuccessful – experiment. Frankenstein’s monster with the face of Michael Pitt and a twisted cyber-body with metal bones, wires and contacts sticking out of it. He wants to take revenge on his creators and offers the major an alliance. But she is loyal to the special department, which is led by the wise old Takeshi Kitano (in the short episode “Don’t let the rabbits against the fox” reminds of the toughness of his former movie heroes).Faithful to her partner Bato (Johan Philip Asbek), a good-natured thug with cyber-eyes (the remake shows how he got them). She’s not ready to go to the other side. Until she understands who her real enemy is (and we can’t tell her, although everything is clear from the very beginning).
Philosophical background
The name “Ghost in the Shell” goes back to the concept of “Ghost in the Machine” from the book of the same name (1967) by Arthur Koestler, who argued with the Cartesian model of body-soul dualism, in which the material and the ideal differ in their fundamental properties.
An important genre shift is that the new “Ghost in the Shell” is a distinct dystopia, in which it all comes down to the fact that capital, in alliance with the government and intelligence agencies, is conducting inhuman experiments on free-thinking youth. There was nothing of the kind in the Japanese original. The dystopian scheme was seen in the typical cyberpunk combination of high technology with social decay. But even in the high-rise slums, there was more melancholy than horror. In the remake, the enormity of the entourage is aggravated by a giant holographic advertisement – athletes and housewives as tall as a skyscraper, scarlet lips the size of a stadium (from a design point of view, this nightmare awaiting us in the future is the best in the new picture).Outwardly, the two “Ghosts” have a lot in common, right down to the literal repetition of several scenes, but the heart of the Japanese film was different.
For the Hollywood look, he was probably too confused by the plot: the sixth special department competed with the ninth, the representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wove their intrigues, and the elusive hacker appeared only closer to the end in a disfigured female cybertel retrieved from under a truck.
To the Hollywood eye, the old Ghost in the Shell was probably incomprehensible in essence. It did not have a simple connection between the human brain and the cyberbody.In it, the cyborgs began to recall the human in themselves – and tried to understand how this happens, whence this longing for the unknown. It was about the evolution of artificial intelligence, which wanted not only to copy itself, but to create a computerized semblance of DNA and even its own way of procreation. It was more utopia than anti-.
And the main thing – the “ghost” itself, was considered completely unnecessary in Hollywood. In the anime, Mamoru Oshii, it was understood as a mental image that both humans and cyborgs have.Something like a digitized soul. Which can be hacked, stolen, moved to another body (armor), but not solved.
In the Rupert Sanders remake, the “ghost” remained only in the title. But there are many fights and shootings, spectacular design and superhuman charm of Scarlett Johansson (although her cyber body in the nude looks rather ridiculous – in a more conventional and erotic anime, such a problem did not arise).
Mamoru Oshii had much fewer fighting scenes. He allowed himself a sophisticated game with highlights and reflections, long meditative episodes to the ritual and solemn music of Kenji Kawai (whose soundtrack to “Ghost in the Shell” became as classic as the film itself).The melancholic look was transferred from the tops of skyscrapers to the garbage in the water (shot almost like Tarkovsky’s in Stalker), to the sad Basset Hound on the bridge (Mamoru Oshii has a habit of drawing his dog in every film).
