![]() ![]() Though they fight at a disadvantage in the water, a Jaeger's priority is to prevent Kaiju from crossing the Miracle Mile, the last-ditch perimeter within a few miles offshore. In order to prevent damage to major cities, Jaegers are often deployed from their respective Shatterdomes into the neighboring harbors or oceans of cities that hug the coastlines of the Pacific Rim. In conjunction with close-quarters combat, heat-based weapons such as the Plasmacaster minimize the spread of Kaiju Blue, as they can wound and cauterize the creatures at the same time. However, given the toxic nature of the Kaiju, Jaegers were required to rely on hand-to-hand combat and close-quarters weapons such as swords or other blade-type weapons. They were built to match the estimated scale of Kaiju, and minimize damage created by conventional weapons. CombatĪs an alternative to nuclear weaponry, Jaegers were designed to generate as much kinetic energy as tactical ordnance. Unfortunately, the development of the Jaeger program was not cheap. The cost of building the Mark-5 Jaeger Striker Eureka, was a reported to be over a hundred billion dollars, more than ten times the cost of a nuclear aircraft carrier. Mark-4 and Mark-5 Jaegers, however, used digital technology, minimizing the dangers to the pilots inside the Conn-Pod. Gipsy Danger and Cherno Alpha were the last active nuclear-powered Jaegers to play a part in the continued defense of Hong Kong and mission to assault the Breach. Jaegers have no standardized design template body-types vary widely within each “mark." This level of diversity among the Jaeger designs and weaponry was a tactical response to the high variability in Kaiju shapes.Īll Mark-1 through Mark-3 Jaegers utilized nuclear reactors, which put their pilots at substantial risk of developing cancer. Mark-4 and Mark-5 Jaegers were the last produced in 20. Six Mark-1’s were deployed in 2015, followed by the Mark-2’s in 2016 and the Mark-3's in 2017. The production program was divided into five annual roll-outs that began in 2015 and ended in 2019. The “Mark" label assigned to each Jaeger refers to the launch schedule. ![]() Pleased with the results, the Defense Corps green-lit the production of more Mark-1 Jaegers that were later deployed across the Pacific in specific countries to intercept the Kaiju attacks. Lightcap's risk to bridge with the mind of the next test pilot, Sergio D'onofrio, created a connection between the two based on technology developed by DARPA, which allowed them to simultaneously pilot the Jaeger successfully. Though the construction of the first Mark-1 prototype Jaeger Brawler Yukon was successful, drawbacks connected to the neural interface overloading the mind of its test pilot brought into question the Jaeger Program's feasibility. to give the scientists a larger backing than before. The assistance of Stacker Pentecost in testing the Pons System's effectiveness, however, convinced the Defense Corps. However, the cost of production made the Pan Pacific Defense Corps hesitant to continue funding Schoenfield and Lightcap. With the help of Caitlin Lightcap, an expert in brain-machine interface, Schoenfeld was given funding to begin construction on the first prototype Jaeger in a warehouse in Pittsburgh. Jasper Schoenfeld's idea was approved by the United Nations. Upon witnessing his son playing with a toy robot and toy monster in his room, he came across the inspiration for giant humanoid mechs which could stand up to the Kaiju without resorting to nuclear weapons. Prior to the conference, Schoenfeld looked for a more efficient way of killing the monsters without the use of nuclear weapons. Lars Gottlieb shortly after Jasper Schoenfeld proposed the idea for the Jaeger at the 2014 conference in Seoul, South Korea following the fourth Kaiju attack on Sydney, Australia in September. The Jaeger Program was first developed by Dr. Humanity begins to take a stand and fight back with the Jaegers. ![]()

At one point it even sounded to me like Yuuko called him Tai Chi-kun, and I sort of laughed about it when I was watching the episode. It's a little odd because it's not consistent between the voice actors.So, this dub has a lot of honorifics? Wonderful.įor the most part, they are struggling with how to pronounce Teiichi's name. There is one point where both Yuuko and Okonogi say "Teiichi-san"/"Teiichi-kun" at the same time in which Neves and Karbowski pronounce it in different ways. In some sort of fairness though, a lot of the times they are using Teiichi's family name instead, which makes it easier being just "Niiya". But it happens so much that it's likely something that's not going to be fixed any time soon.What kind of mispronunciations are we talking about? Too much emphasis on one of the syllables ("A-KEE-to") or out-and-out mistakes ("Yurippy").For the most part, they are struggling with how to pronounce Teiichi's name. The only big annoyance with the dub for me is the mispronouncing of names. Anyway, I watched it and it ended up being as I expected.

This would only be one of Ragbastar's many atrocities that he would go on to commit during the Ramo conflict, and despite the conflict ending in a batarian withdrawal, Ragbastar was able to escape justice: in order to satisfy the turians, the batarian leadership had Ragbastar was dishonorably discharged and subsequently exiled. After managing to isolate and cut off an entire turian infantry regiment and part of a volus auxiliary company, Ragbastar eventually forced them to surrender, but upon realizing turian reinforcements were about to cut them off and that his own men didn't have the provisions to feed these prisoners (the system was blockaded by the turians already and the Batarian Navy was in the process of trying to break it to relieve their forces), he had every single prisoner executed and hastily pulled his army out. ![]() Ragbastar's most infamous action however was during the War for Ramo in 1320 CE when tensions between the Vol Protectorate and Batarian People's Republic ended with the Batarian Navy attacking a volus trade fleet and the Batarian Army subsequently invading and annexing the Ramo system, triggering a full military response from the Turian Hierarchy, who sent their own fleet, along with several infantry divisions, to retake the system by force. ![]() Rising to prominence when the Batarian People's Republic was at the height of its power, Iceth Ragbastar was a career military commander in the Batarian Liberation Army, having served with distinction during both Artemis wars, and personally commanded the forces responsible for crushing a rebellion on Aratoht that resulted in a massacre and half the colony being wiped out. The seeds that would eventually grow into the Batarian Hegemony would be sown before the fall of the Batarian People's Republic, at the height of the batarian supremacist movement. The Hegemony of Khar'Shan, simply known as the Hegemony, named in batarian state propaganda as the Batarian Empire, historically as Ragbastarist Khar'Shan, and more commonly known as the Batarian Hegemony, was the representative body of Khar'Shan, its nations and batarian colonies from 1538 CE to 2198 CE.

"Evergrande has tried its best to solve liquidity problems, but it's a little bit difficult to gather enough capital to pay all the debt," said Cliff Zhao, chief strategist at China Construction Bank International in Hong Kong. The New York Times earlier reported that the developer made an interest payment, citing a person speaking on condition of anonymity. It still has nearly $338 million in other offshore coupon payments coming due in November and December. 11, beginning 30-day grace periods for each. ![]() "I only think they are buying time at this point," the bondholder said.Įvergrande missed coupon payments totalling nearly $280 million on its dollar bonds on Sept. One bondholder said he maintained a negative outlook for the developer despite it making the coupon payment. That still left them trading at discounts of more than 75% from their face value, with the 2023 bond yielding nearly 190%. Prices of the developer's bonds jumped higher on Friday, with its 11.5% January 2023 bond surging more than 9%, and its 12% January 2024 bond up nearly 8% on the day, data from Duration Finance showed. The Hang Seng Mainland Properties Index fell about 0.9%, while an index of developers' mainland A-shares dropped 3.6%. Shares of Evergrande gave up early gains to fall about 0.8% by late morning on Friday, versus a 0.3% decline in the Hang Seng Index. Bloomberg News reported earlier this week that Chinese authorities had urged Evergrande's founder, Hui Ka Yan, to pay the developer's debts out of his personal wealth. Reuters was not able to determine the source of the funds used to make the interest payments. The people declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. The property developer, which staved off a default last week by securing $83.5 million for the last-minute payment of interest on a bond, needed to make $47.5 million in coupon payments to bondholders by Friday.Ī failure to pay by the Friday deadline would have triggered cross-defaults on all of the company's $19 billion worth of bonds in international capital markets, in what would have been the world's second-largest emerging market corporate debt default.Įvergrande did not respond to Reuters' request for comment. HONG KONG (Reuters) - Developer China Evergrande Group has made an interest payment for an offshore bond before a grace period expired on Friday, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said, narrowly averting a catastrophic default for the second time in a week.Įvergrande, once China's top-selling developer, is reeling under more than $300 billion in liabilities, fuelling worries about the impact of its fate on the world's second-largest economy as well as on global markets.

Indeed, the expression 'sixteen nails make a yard' seems to point to the thumb-nail as a standard" and that "Countrymen always measure by their thumb". He says that "Ladies often measure yard lengths by their thumb. Ebenezer Cobham Brewer writes that rule of thumb means a "rough measurement". The thumb has also been used in brewing beer, to gauge the heat of the brewing vat. Historically, the width of the thumb, or "thumb's breadth", was used as the equivalent of an inch in the cloth trade similar expressions existed in Latin and French as well. ![]() James Kelly's The Complete Collection of Scottish Proverbs, 1721, includes: "No Rule so good as Rule of Thumb, if it hit", meaning a practical approximation. ![]() The phrase is also found in Sir William Hope's The Compleat Fencing Master, 1692: "What he doth, he doth by rule of Thumb, and not by Art". Its earliest (1685) appearance in print comes from a posthumously published collection of sermons by Scottish preacher James Durham: "Many profest Christians are like to foolish builders, who build by guess, and by rule of thumb (as we use to speak), and not by Square and Rule". The exact origin of the phrase is uncertain. In English, rule of thumb refers to an approximate method for doing something, based on practical experience rather than theory.
