We’re thrilled to have observers attend fencing sessions, but scheduling a visit is helpful and helps us plan our evenings. Please contact us if you want to see what goes on. However, as noted above, beginners will start on designated “Novice Fencer Nights”. If you’re interested, just show up on any Tuesday evening to check us out. If you don’t have equipment, you’ll need to procure your own (or we can help you order it). If you are already an experienced fencer and have your own equipment, all you need do is pay your annual membership fee, bring your equipment, and you’re permitted to fence on any Tuesday night. What If I Already Know How To Fence? The BFC welcomes fencers of all skill levels at any time. As of September 2022, the fee for joining the club and purchasing a set of basic equipment is approximately $175, but this is dependent on the price given to the club by our suppliers and can vary.ĭo You Offer Beginner Lessons? We do! Contact us for more information about fees and schedule. These can be purchased from any reputable fencing equipment supplier or through the club when joining. What About Equipment? Members are expected to provide their own equipment, minimally including a weapon, mask, jacket and glove. We know that this policy will be disappointing to some. Accordingly, a decent attention span is required, and many fencers younger than 13 simply lack it. Learning proper fencing technique requires repetitive drilling which helps build “muscle memory” and teaches proper technique. Unless they are very mature for their age, fencers should be 13 years old or above before they start fencing with the BFC. Minimum Age? 13 Years Old (With Caveat) From previous experience, the BFC has found that younger fencers sometimes find it difficult to maintain the attention span necessary to absorb our volunteer instructors’ direction and lessons. which runs East-West and is also known as Rte 68.)

For example, a campus district must be built in order to house science-based buildings. New to Civilization VI is the use of districts outside the city center to house most of the buildings. A critical design focus was to avoid having the player follow a pre-set path of improvements towards their civilization which they had observed from earlier games. ![]() ![]() The game features several civilizations not featured in previous incarnations of Civilization, while many returning civilizations have new capitals or new leaders. Players do this by exploring the world, founding new cities, building city improvements, deploying military troops to attack and defend themselves from others, researching new technologies and civics advancements, developing an influential culture, and engaging in trade and negotiations with other world leaders. Similar to previous installments, the goal for the player is to develop a civilization from an early settlement through many in-game millennia to become a world power and achieve one of several victory conditions, such as through military domination, technological superiority, or cultural influence, over the other human and computer-controlled opponents. The latest entry into the Civilization series, it was released on Windows and macOS in October 2016, with later ports for Linux in February 2017, iOS in December 2017, Nintendo Switch in November 2018, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in November 2019, and Android in 2020.

Only high volume of fire events such as “break contact” drills or defending against a “human wave” assault (the zombie guys just got all excited) are going to see that much ammunition expended. The chances of you blowing through that much ammo all at once with a semiautomatic firearm are pretty slim-no matter the circumstances. Your 210 rounds of ammunition is actually quite a lot. My point is that 210 rounds is a pretty standard combat loadout and if you’re tempted to reply, “I can carry a lot more than that,” you need to start thinking about what other important things you’ll leave behind in the name of carrying more ammo. If you think this sounds ugly, I’m actually going easy with these estimates-our young soldiers out in harms way often carry much more. Weight: 15 pounds, not including the weight of the plate carrier that holds them. Then, if you’re super tactical like me, you sandwich yourself between two Level IV stand-alone ceramic body armor plates. ![]() The rifle you’re carrying started out as a lightweight carbine, but after adding a rail system, a red dot sight and a tactical light, its about 10 pounds now. You’ll need two liters of water in a CamelBak (five pounds), some food (two pounds), a sidearm and its holster (nearly three pounds loaded), ammo for the sidearm (two more pounds)… phew, we’re already at 50 pounds worth of stuff. Kalashnikov fans, those steel AK mags and the ammo in them weigh even more! If you’re rocking polymer Magpul P-Mags, that’s 28 pounds of ammo and mags to carry wherever you go. Further, you’ll have one more 30-round magazine in your rifle ready to go, giving you a total of 210 rounds of ammo on your person. And lets assume that when the lights go out and things go bad, you’ll be wearing a standard style chest rig with enough pouches to hold six 30-round magazines, all day every day and sometimes at night too. ![]() Let’s assume that your SHTF gun of choice is a high capacity semi-automatic carbine, such as an AK-47 or AR-15. Don’t think about how much ammo you have in reserve think about how much ammo you can actually carry! Really? Let’s think about this from a practical standpoint and work it backwards. Not everyone can afford to do what he did, but I’ve seen posts on the Internet seriously suggesting that 10,000 rounds of ammo is a “minimum” cache to survive the coming troubles. That’s pretty close to a lifetime supply, assuming he continues shooting it through five-shot bolt-action Mausers. I don’t know how much he has, but if he gets paid every two weeks and he followed this plan for two years, he would have nearly 50,000 rounds of 8mm ammo. I know some guys who really live by the motto, “Buy it cheap, stack it deep.” A very good friend of mine liked to buy a case of corrosive surplus 8mm Mauser ammo with every paycheck, back when that stuff was super cheap. ![]() ![]() What is not in doubt is that a 19-year-old was blindsided by a bunch of older men who, according to Bertolucci, “wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress”. Although the rape scene was simulated, stories differ as to what Schneider was told in advance of the shoot. It’s important to note that Schneider, who died in 2011, told the Daily Mail in an interview way back in 2007 that she “felt humiliated and, to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci”. Last Tango in Paris director suggests Maria Schneider 'butter rape' scene not consensual Over the last several days a video surfaced (thank you, Elle) from a 2013 interview with the Academy-Award-winning Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci, in which he talks about how he and Marlon Brando conspired to film a rape scene involving butter with the actress Maria Schneider on the set of the Last Tango in Paris, a film that was nominated for two Academy Awards and many other accolades. The film industry, as well as other progressives in American society, are still reeling over the election of a man who admits to having sexually assaulted women, knowingly using his celebrity to exploit them. I felt humiliated and, to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and Bertolucci.These are not easy days to be a feminist in America. "During the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn't real, I was crying real tears. But at the time, I didn't know that," Schneider had said. I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can't force someone to do something that isn't in the script. "They only told me about it before we had to film the scene, and I was so angry. In a 2007, in an interview with the Daily Mail she had said that she "felt a little raped" by her co-star and director. However, she said that she was shocked and had strongly objected to the way things turned out. Schneider, who died in 2011 at age 58, had said that no intercourse took place during filming of the rape scene. "That's not the human being was," Miko said, according to TMZ. Meanwhile, Brando's son Miko has come in defence of his father and said that the actor would have never planned a rape scene to sexually violate his co-star. The only novelty was the idea of the butter." "Maria knew everything because she had read the script, where it was all described.

"I would like for the last time to clear up a ridiculous misunderstanding that continues to generate press reports about 'Last Tango in Paris' around the world. He added that the butter was used as he wanted Schneider – who was 19 years old during filming – to react "as a girl and not an actress" and she should feel "the rage and humiliation".īertolucci maintained that besides the use of butter for the rape scene, Schneider had been informed that the rape scene would be violent in nature. In the interview, Bertolucci had said that the decision to use the stick of butter for the rape scene was conceptualised on the day of the shoot.

But empirical research failed to validate the theory of catharsis, and some recent work contradicts it entirely. This idea, still widely held in the popular culture, suggests that venting aggression ultimately purges it from the body. Many early psychological views toward revenge were based on the larger concept of emotional catharsis. The upshot of these insights is a better sense of why the pursuit of revenge has persisted through the ages, despite tasting a lot more sour than advertised. They have also found that instead of delivering justice, revenge often creates only a cycle of retaliation, in part because one person’s moral equilibrium rarely aligns with another’s. Behavioral scientists have observed that instead of quenching hostility, revenge can prolong the unpleasantness of the original offense and that merely bringing harm upon an offender is not enough to satisfy a person’s vengeful spirit. In the past few years, psychological scientists have discovered many ways in which the practice of revenge fails to fulfill its sweet expectations. That minute before revenge is savory, as the authors of the Science study recognized but what about the days and weeks that follow? The actual execution of revenge carries a bitter cost of time, emotional and physical energy, and even lives. ![]() But while the idea of revenge is no doubt delectable - the very phrase “just desserts” promises a treat - much of its sugar is confined to the coating. It is as classic as Homer and Hamlet, and as contemporary as Don Corleone and Quentin Tarantino as old as the eyes and teeth traded in the Bible, and as fresh as the raid that took the life of Osama bin Laden. The findings, published in a 2004 issue of Science, gave physiological confirmation to what the scorned have been saying for years: Revenge is sweet.Ī thirst for vengeance is nothing if not timeless. The decision caused a rush of neural activity in the caudate nucleus, an area of the brain known to process rewards (in previous work, the caudate has delighted in cocaine and nicotine use). The researchers then gave the people a chance to punish their greedy partners, and for a full minute, as the victims contemplated revenge, the activity in their brains was recorded. These people had trusted their partners to split a pot of money with them, only to find that the partners had chosen to keep the loot for themselves. While believers ought to be peaceful towards "one another," this verse specifically says this attitude ought to extend "to everyone.A few years ago a group of Swiss researchers scanned the brains of people who had been wronged during an economic exchange game. It should be noted that Paul's instruction here does not merely say to be forgiving to brothers and sisters in Christ. Whenever we feel like taking revenge on someone, we ought to reflect on the grace and kindness Jesus showered on us in spite of the offenses we committed against Him. Although each of us had offended Jesus, He died for us, forgave us, and gave us everlasting life. ![]() Writing to the Colossian Christians, Paul instructed them to forgive "… each other as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive" (Colossians 3:13). Instead of looking for an opportunity to pay back offenders, we need to look for opportunities to forgive and bless them. … Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.'" He adds in verse 21, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." In Romans 12:17–19 he writes, "Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. Paul was a strong believer in the Lord's ability to address wrongdoing. In this verse Paul appeals to his readers to do good to everyone, rather than trying to "get even" when someone commits an offense against them. ![]() |
