![]() ![]() They can then be inserted into the machine, where the characters will either be embossed or debossed into the metal so that they feature the right information. First of all the tags need to be cut to the right size and shape. This is done using machines designed for this purpose. Military identification tags today are either embossed (raised letters) or debossed (depressed letters). However, there are various myths about notched dog tags, including that they were meant to be placed between the soldier's teeth to prevent them getting lost. The design previously had a notch, which was used to indicate orientation for inserting the tag into a handheld machine for stamping. Navy tags no longer included a fingerprint. There was also an etching of the sailor's fingerprint on the other side.īy World War II, dog tags were made in the shape that we see them today from a nickel-copper alloy. and the wearer's date of birth and enlistment (or date of appointment for officers). They were made from a group of nickel alloys called monel and had etched on them the letters U.S.N. The Navy started to require them in 1917, although the tags during World War I were slightly different from Army tags. Other branches of the military also started to use dog tags. Today, some are debossed while others are embossed. Identification tags could be used to quickly stamp their information onto paper using this process. This machine debosses characters into the metal plates. In 1918, the army started to use service numbers, which would be included on tags for combat troops along with soldiers' names.įrom the 1930s to the 1980s, original dog tags were made using a Graphotype machine. In 1916, the regulations changed to ensure every soldier was issued with two army dog tags so that in the event of a death, one could be kept for record-keeping and one could stay with the body. The US Army first authorized ID tags in 1906. It was around this time that military identification began to be manufactured commercially, in the form of pins and tags. They used paper to write down the details and pin notes to their coats or they wrote or etched their names into their things. In the United States, some soldiers took it upon themselves to create their own identity during the Civil War. There is a mention of Spartans using identification tags and the Romans also used a type of identification tag for their legionaries. The concept of wearing or carrying something for identification in combat is a very old one. ![]()

![]() You can use Kiwi Basic for free, entitling you to one Gmail account and standard features. Click on a link in any email and it goes straight to the default browser on your computer. There is no real integration with Android phones, nor a web browser you can use within Kiwi to quickly look something up. Kiwi is also missing certain Google properties you might want a more direct line to. It doesn’t look like that’s going to change, which is why you’ll benefit from this if you’re already a big Gmail user. So, if you use a different email address for work or personal use and want to bring it in here, you can’t. The biggest caveat is that you can’t add any non-Gmail accounts. You can select between a light or dark theme, and set how notifications come through, but that’s largely it. You’re also faced with limited customization, otherwise. Unfortunately, there’s no way to shoehorn other extensions into it, even if not officially supported. You can enable or disable these anytime, either at the start, or by going to preferences. As of this review, there’s Boomerang, Right Inbox, Grammarly, Bluejeans, Virtru, Zoom Scheduler and Gmail reverse conversation. Kiwi does work with some plugins and extensions, albeit a short list, and only as a paid subscriber. These shortcuts work so long as Kiwi is open - and even if you’re using another app. Within preferences, you have access to mapping shortcuts to quickly compose email or open a new calendar entry. There are shortcuts for the main tasks, meaning you don’t have to necessarily switch out of an app to use another. The premise is that you simplify access and reduce the time for workflows. These are a few examples, but you get the picture. ![]() Set up Kiwi to launch at startup, so you have an email client open from the start. Drag and drop files from Drive into a new email, or move an attachment into Drive. Work on a Google Doc, and suddenly need to compose an email? Just click the icon for it on the side menu. ![]() Kiwi delivers all this in a way that’s meant to be seamless. All your contacts are available, as is a direct line into your Google Drive. Basically, that means you can get to your Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar and Meets. Where the value is supposed to come in is in giving you Google’s suite of apps in the same interface. The purpose is to move your Gmail usage away from a web browser and over to a desktop client. The gist here is that you download and install Kiwi on your computer, sign up for an account, and then add your Gmail accounts one-by-one. ![]() Kiwi’s presence may be more significant for Mac users because some of the other options are Windows-only. Its standalone focus makes it ideal if you’re enmeshed in Google’s ecosystem, even if you only have a couple of Gmail accounts. Kiwi is purely about Gmail, letting you add up to six accounts, and tying into other Google Workspace software on top of that. It’s standard practice to manage a Gmail account on a web browser, but Kiwi lets you do it with multiple accounts via its desktop app for Windows and macOS.ĭesktop apps that can integrate Gmail aren’t new, but they’re usually part of an application that also integrates other email clients. ![]() ![]() ![]() She told me this would open me up to a whole world of new roles. "Even this casting agent came up and hugged me. "And you should have seen everybody at the premiere. "There are times when even I can't believe I've done it," he said. He's lost 115 pounds in five months on a program he devised himself, which includes a hefty amount of exercise (he jogs five miles a day and works out for two hours on a cross-country skiing machine) and a balanced diet (chicken, fish, vegetables and fruit). He now tips the scales at a svelte 175, and he's not through. When Hardy played Herman, he weighed 290 pounds, which was one reason he lost his balance and fell off his horse. "Sometimes I get choked up thinking about the fact that it's all over and about the friends I left on the set."īut friends aren't the only things he left on the set. ![]() "I had the best time of my life, and I fell in love with everybody on the set," he said. Hardy said filming the Indiana Jones movie, his third after small roles in the movies "Nobody's Fool" and "Little Spies," was the most fun he's ever had. "I can't imagine waiting in line two hours for any movie." "And the kids at school have been great, although some kids were upset because they waited in line for two hours and couldn't get into the theater because it was too crowded. "People have been driving by and waving and I've been waving back, but I have no idea who they are," he said. The movie's staggering performance at the box office has made Hardy somewhat of a celebrity with his Mission Viejo High School classmates as well as with some Indy Jones fans he's never met. "But he loved the scene so much that he kept it in, which I didn't know he was going to do until I saw the movie at the premiere." "Steven thought it was so funny that he tried to do it again the next day so he could get some close-ups, but they had to forget about the close-ups because they were afraid I'd get hurt. "My leg hit the backpack as I was trying to get off and I lost my balance," Hardy said sheepishly. ![]() That wasn't scripted, according to Hardy. In one of the movie's earliest scenes, Hardy provided one of the screen hit's biggest laughs when the then-290-pounder fell off his horse. But Hardy did wind up making his own directorial contribution to the film, albeit an unintentional one. The scene was shot Spielberg's way and presumably the director knew what he was doing - last weekend the movie enjoyed the biggest box office opening ever. I'll let you direct the next movie, but, for now, let's do it the way the script says.' " He said: `Listen, J.J., I'll tell you what we'll do. "He looked at me in disbelief and then cracked up laughing. "Can you believe I had the nerve to tell Steven Spielberg that I thought my way was funnier than his?" Hardy asked with a face contorted into a wince. So the young actor, who turned 18 this week, sat down with Spielberg and explained how the scene should be shot. Most young actors simply genuflect in the great director's presence, but not Hardy, a wide-eyed and brash yet likable high school senior from Mission Viejo, Calif.During the filming of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," in which Hardy plays Herman, the overweight and comical sidekick of the teenage Jones in the first 17 minutes, Hardy said he thought he had a better idea than Spielberg on how to film a particular scene. When you get to the place that Steven Spielberg has reached in Hollywood box office success, you don't expect to run across someone like J.J. ![]() ![]() Snow was still falling in many areas, particularly in northeast Minnesota, so these may not be final snow totals:ġ4.3 inches - Pine River, Brainerd (north)ġ4 inches - Harding, Merrifield, Finlayson, Pequot Lakesġ3 inches - Pine Center, Beroun, Grand Marais (northwest), French Riverġ2 inches - Pelican Rapids, Deerwood, McGrath, Markville, Nisswaġ1 inches - Wadena, New York Mills, Barrows, Duluth (Lester Park), Little Falls, Malmo, Clarissaġ0.5 inches - Mora, Breezy Point, Duluth (northeast)ĩ.5 inches - Duluth (Gary-New Duluth), DenhamĨ.5 inches - Cloquet, Libby, Two Harbors (southwest)Ĩ inches - Duluth, Moorhead, Detroit Lakes, Palisade, Duquette, Lawler, Barnumħ.5 inches - Alexandria, Moose Lake, Waukenabo, Federal Dam, McKinleyħ inches - Onamia, Esko, Wolverton, Braham, Bovey, Hoyt Lakesĥ.5 inches - Sturgeon Lake, Carlton, MorrisĤ.5 inches - St. Here are snow reports relayed by the National Weather Service as of 10:45 a.m. Winter storm warnings cover the rest of northern Minnesota, with winter weather advisories in central Minnesota. for the North Shore including Two Harbors, Silver Bay, Grand Marais and Grand Portage. for parts of western Minnesota including Moorhead and Fergus Falls, and until 6 p.m. The freezing rain left a glaze of ice atop the new snow - or on roads and sidewalks that had already been cleared.Ī blizzard warning is in effect until 4 p.m. ![]() While parts of central and northern Minnesota saw very heavy snow, other parts of the state - including the Twin Cities metro area - saw light freezing rain on Monday morning. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They're definitely not alone in the mistake - other casual dining chains like Ruby Tuesday and Applebee's are in the same position - but misery doesn't always love company.

PlayGround Games has extensive experience with the engine that powers Forza Horizon, but it’s probably that the engine there was never meant for anything that didn’t feature vehicles. With a dark threat looming, and in a world where your reputation precedes you, your choices will change Albion forever. The use of the Unreal Engine is an interesting one.

Developed by Forza Horizon developer Playground Games, Fable 4 apparently begins with much of the world “reduced to Fables.” Albion and Aurora have been reduced to rubble by a mad king who invoked the magic of a rebuilt Spire to destroy the planet – with the wish that it happens again in the future. A video detailing the soon-to-be-announced Fable 4 has reportedly been doing the rounds, but it’s apparently been deleted as soon as it gets uploaded, lending a bit of credence to leaks about the new game. I didn’t really care too much for the industrialisation that happened in Fable 3, so I’d love for the whole thing to sort of start again, with a bit of a quasi-reboot.

When those new details do emerge, we'll be sure to keep you in the loop here on have a soft spot for the Fable franchise. Going off of this new information from Golton, though, it seems quite possible that we should start to learn a whole lot more about Fable within the coming year. In fact, the project as a whole has largely been very secretive outside of the initial trailer that we saw to confirm its existence. As such, there's a good chance that it could come to Xbox Series X and PC within the coming year or two.Īt this point in time, those at Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios haven't committed to a launch window of any sort for the new Fable title. While much of the work on the project that was done over this period of time was surely pre-production, Fable as a whole is something that has clearly been getting worked on within Playground Games for longer than we may have thought. The way in which this tweet tells us that Fable might be releasing sooner than expected is because, well, four years is quite a long time for a game to be in development. 4 years of working on Fable at So excited for this game. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here you will find hundreds of easy and delicious recipes that your friends and family will love.Įasy weeknight dinners: Find quick, delicious meal ideas that can be prepared after a busy day at work or school, without sacrificing taste or quality.

An early champion of Rousseau’s art, Uhde counted himself among the painter’s circle of close friends and was with him when he died. Les Flamants was most likely purchased directly from the artist by Wilhelm Uhde. Privately owned works with a provenance that goes back to the artist are even rarer.
