![]() But as the United States plunged into the Cold War, the Middle East was too important to abandon. As a result, the United Kingdom and France dominated the region for two decades, and when they began to leave after World War II, the United States replaced them, rarely enthusiastically, and often reluctantly. With isolationist sentiments rising domestically after the war, the United States didn’t push back. Jon Alterman: As part of the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, the United States sponsored the King-Crane Commission, a 42-day trip to the region to investigate the Arab world’s potential for self-determination, but the entire exercise was stillborn.Įven before the United States had entered World War I, the United Kingdom and France had secretly agreed to divvy up the Middle East between themselves. They were coming from what they saw as an anticolonial background with promises of self-determination and the expansion of liberalism and democratic movements, and these were really embraced during that period. ![]() Of course, part of that was that they were not British. Karim Makdisi: The United States had a position of great promise-as far as the Arabs were concerned in the Middle East-coming in with the Woodrow Wilson era where there was so much welcome for American engagements in the Arab world and in the Middle East. According to Karim Makdisi, a professor of international relations at the American University of Beirut, that was welcome news in the region. Of those 14 points, he dedicated one to the former Ottoman territories in the Middle East. ![]() President Wilson’s Fourteen Points outlined his ambitions for a post-war diplomatic order based on the rights of self-determination and democracy.

![]() ![]() Catch it on offer, or even for free, and it’s an absolute no-brainer. If you don’t yet use an antivirus program (or you’re frustrated at poorly performing free options), Surfshark One is definitely worth considering – especially if you already use Surfshark VPN. (Image credit: Surfshark) Who should use Surfshark One? ![]() It's also worth checking our Surfshark VPN promo codes for other deals. This is alongside the 2 months free that’s currently being offered, so for a limited time you’ll be able to get Surfshark VPN and Surfshark One for just $2.30 a month – definitely worth making the most of. However, Surfshark is currently running a promotion that offers Surfshark One absolutely free to Tom's Guide readers. Existing Surfshark subscribers can add Surfshark One at any time, but Surfshark One is not available without first signing up to Surfshark VPN. Surfshark one adds $1.49 to the monthly cost of Surfshark VPN, which brings the total without further discounts to $3.98 a month over two years, or roughly $95 all-in. ![]() For the price, it looks promising, and we expect it to fill out in terms of features and support in the near future. Overall, though, Surfshark One is definitely worth considering as an add-on for new and existing customers. Finally, Alert is compatible with MacOS, Windows, Android, Chrome, and Firefox, but the ID Check feature currently only works with documents from the US, Lithuania, and Bulgaria. Surfshark Search is currently only available at s., but Surfshark is reportedly working on integrating it into the apps on every OS. Surfshark claims that other OS compatibility is in the works. However, Surfshark Antivirus is only available on Windows and Android, with real-time protection limited to Android alone. Surfshark VPN has huge device support and offers unlimited connections, so there are no issues there. On that note, Surfshark One’s biggest current downfall is that as of March 2022, not every feature is available on every device or location. However, paid-for antivirus offerings will still be more comprehensive, with features like file quarantine, plus full device support. In our experience, Surfshark Antivirus is quite effective, and notably less intrusive in terms of pop-ups and notifications than some free antivirus options like Avast Free antivirus. ![]() Surfshark Search is a small addition we expect few will really use, but it’s still a nice addition, as is Alert. If you’re not currently using an antivirus program, then signing up to Surfshark One is great choice – you’ll be able to better protect yourself from malware as well as make sure you’re alerted about data breaches. What are the pros and cons of Surfshark One? What’s more, you can also use Alert for your credit cards, so you’ll know if your bank details have ever been compromised. When activated, if your email address is found in a data breach, you’ll be notified so you can take appropriate action. Essentially, Search is a totally ad, tracker, and log-free search engine that aims to reliably show authentic results without harvesting your data.įinally, the package rounds off with Alert, which alerts you to data breaches that include your data. Surfshark One also offers Search, which is a ‘powerful and lightweight search tool’. ![]() ![]() ![]() The other community created map, is a total travesty. I do give props for this as well, as its very easy for the offense to push in one direction while the defense is scrambling to ward off stragglers and the rush of the two sides is very thrilling. Egypt is also an Engineer’s wet dream, as there are at least five different choke points per “wave”, all with cubby holes and angled doors to plop your sentries in. The map could use some better flow as its very easy to get lost, which never was as problem with Valve maps. CP_Egypt is essentially TF2 meets CounterStrike’s infamous DE_Dust, with the Old Man Murray crate stacked upon crate as far as the eye could see. Valve also tossed in several new community created maps to ease the boredom of having to play goldrush (which is still p. I admit they aren’t as terrible as the Pyro ones (Do 1,000,000 lifetime damage with your flame thrower is pretty high up there). The achievements generally range from mundane kill X amount of players to the not so crazy “The Cycle” which involves killing a player in the air, on the ground, and in the water all in one life. Playing with these new changes obviously come at a price, you have to play as a Scout long enough to start unlocking achievements, which are the method to unlocking the weapons. Getting hit results in a massive knock back, while the player can utilize a Force-A-Nature blast as a second or third jump. However, it has a recoil mechanic that can work for the player or against the enemy. Its like the scatter gun, with a load time longer than playing a PS3 game for the first time. You also can’t attack while in hyper mode, and when the effect wears off, you go into a sugar crash, causing you to walk significantly slower than normal speed.įinally, the scatter gun’s replacement is another push towards annoying players, titled the Force-A-Nature. ![]() You leave a blurry trail that Sonic the Hedgehog would be proud of if he wasn’t at a nursing home for ingesting so much cock and cocaine from Sonic Team. Chugging one of these bad boys makes you gain a 100% miss chance for several seconds to all hit scan weapons. can of caffeine and battery acid, aptly titled “Bonk Energy Drink”. Wiley’s nefarious robot masters, I mean an 8 oz. No Little Billy, I don’t mean an Energy Tank with a giant fucking E on it that you can collect on any one of Dr. Speaking about rushing, the Nailgun replacement plays on his hyperactive nature and is now an energy drink. The stun also works on Ubered targets, meaning you can effectively pin a medic + heavy combo rush if you can get a lucky swing off. Which means the Scout can successfully rush in and wack the living shit out of you, and there’s nothing you can do about it but bask in your tears. Why gay? The longer distance the ball travels and successfully hits a target, the longer the target is stunned. The Sandman as its called, grants the player to throw a baseball in any direction, thus causing their melee weapon into a cannon of gay proportions. Playing on the very much “Jersey Baseballer” theme Valve had going on, the Scout now has baseball and baseball bat unlockable. What they’ve added are three replacements to the typical Scout Melee/Scout Nailgun/Scout Scattergun. Valve probably had this idea in mind, and some other fruity ideas ones when they decided to update the Scout class. This was all made up however with their powerful Concussive Grenades, granting them rocket jumping capabilities with little to no reguards to physics (Usually fall damage was disabled on most TFC servers). In Team Fortress Classic, the little guy would explode if another sneezed on him. The Scout class was always defined as the flag capper in every variant of Team Fortress. Most recently, they’ve released their fourth and latest class update, the Scout class. But to continue releasing free content for it? Absurd.Īs you may or may not know, Team Fortress 2 is one of these gems of a video game that Valve continues to blow voodoo Asian pixie powered dust into. Yes, its pretty difficult for a company these days to make a title that doesn’t blow the gonads off a bull the second GameStop decides to start pre-orders for it (I am pretty sure you can get the testicles back by pre-ordering and getting a cheat code but that’s another story). Their business model is somewhat of a diamond in the rough – make a fantastic game, and then for the next couple of years continue making the game even better – now get this – for free. Valve, the video game development powerhouse and Washington State’s #1 pizza consuming company for five consecutive years in a row continues to amuse me. ![]() ![]() His goal has always been to help as many people as possible learn something new about technology.

![]() ![]() When the fob is within 36-inches of the vehicle, the doors unlock. I realized the convenience of the keyless entry and exit system. Quickly realized that the blind spot indicators are too small and the warning light is easy to miss. I used the vehicle to run several errands and found it easy to handle on the road and in parking lots. The downside of the computer system is the touch screen - shows too many fingerprints and is not user friendly for someone with adult size fingers. I had no problems putting in my phone number and using Apple Car Play. With that bit of information, the computer system was easy to navigate. I read the page in the owner’s manual explaining the buttons on the steering wheel and the dash. He checked how the Passport would fare, and he figures there’s enough room in the 1,430-litre cargo space behind the rear seats to cart four sets of clubs. “It always felt sure-footed, and the ride was smooth, if a little stiff, but definitely not uncomfortable.”Īn avid golfer, Jantz says there aren’t many midsize vehicles that will haul four people and all their clubs. ![]() “Handling was very responsive, you could corner nicely and a little aggressively and it stayed fairly level,” Jantz says. The nine-speed automatic transmission offered near-imperceptible shifts, and the transitions between gears was quick, too. “To me, it seemed to have plenty of energy, and I was pleased with it.” “I didn’t expect the Passport to be as peppy as it was,” Jantz says of his experience with Honda’s V6 powerplant. One of Jantz’s considerations when buying a new vehicle is overall performance, and he appreciates above-average power. He also liked the push-button automatic transmission and felt dispensing with a traditional console-mounted gear selector was a good decision on Honda’s part. Once inside the leather-appointed SUV, he was impressed by the sense of overall roominess and he thought the windows were large and offered great visibility. With its Deep Scarlet Pearl paint and black trim, this was a sharp looking vehicle.”Īt six-foot one-inch, Jantz says he doesn’t have any trouble fitting into most vehicles. “It’s sharp, it’s the right size, and it looks outdoorsy – to me, most other SUVs look like updated minivans – but this looked different and fun. “I thought the Passport was a good-looking vehicle,” Jantz says of his first impression.

![]() ![]() The door had to be replaced as people could no longer either open or close the door.ĭoor warpage as a result of heat is basically limited to hollow metal doors. Over time, the heat warpage had a residual affect and the door became permanently bowed along the lock edge. At peak summer temperatures, the hollow metal door became so hot that it warped. To make matters worse, the slab-sided building and the door were painted a dark color that absorbs heat. There was no awning or cover structure over this door because it was a secondary entrance. For example, take an exterior hollow metal door located on the east facing side of a poured concrete building. The placement of exterior doors plays a significant role in potential problems. With today's poured concrete buildings, solving a problem can be costly and time consuming. Poor construction can result in problems with door operation and air infiltration. They should be plumb, with solid jambs and doors that swing open and closed and latch without external resistance. By building condition, we are referring to its structural integrality in regards to the door openings. In addition to the doors, the condition of the building is also a significant factor in the operational life and a good indicator of the problems that may occur. ![]() ![]() Using these two examples, we show how the operational life of a door, opening and the attached hardware can be dramatically different. Commercial doors range from high-end decorative entry doors equipped with automatic door operators to alley or loading dock doors that get opened using a cart, fork lift or pallet jack. ![]() ![]() Power model: Built-in rechargeable battery (Included) Strong-Toyers S9HW Mini Drone with HD Camera Remote Control 24.02 36.

Also, I realize this one is less a samsung only thing and more of a 3rd party thing but maybe theres an incentive we can drive through the galaxy app store for apps published there to get the message out about how important this is This drag and drop is an essential aspect of Desktop workflow and we need to devise a way to encourage apps to upgrade this or have them removed from the apps store as a whole. The same goes for apps like Lumafusion which is set to come soon accoridng to an announcement they made. I see that now we have drag and drop built into the Samsung My Files app and this is great - now we just need to find a way to enocurage 3rd party apps to build into their app the drag and drop function especially for creators that use a Digital Audio Workstation app like Fruity Loops, N track Studio or Cubasis. Not only does it allow for the task bar to be on the right or lweft but it also allows for the task bar to be transparent to create a cleaner look and when looking to launch an app the interface doesnt fill the entire screen Next an alternative way of creating the same experience would be to allow for the dock itself to be moved to the right or left - you can see this in action by using an app from the google play store named Taskbar. In the same vein of work, the popup widget is activated by a swipe from the edge – when using a keyboard it wold be powerful to be able to move the mouse to the edge of the screen as a push to create that swipe action that opens the popup widget to use either the widgets of the apps that we want to run a quick task with. ![]() The best news is that the One Hand Operation+ has already done the bulk of this work - all we need to do is create the ability to pin and dock so that they minimize or get activated in popup window mode from the Pop-up widget window. Why? For powerful multitasking - here’s an example of how wanted this feature is in general that a 3rd party indie developer made an app named Slidepad.app for MacOS to add that slideover feature into a desktop for those quick tasks. The current popup app minimization into a logo in tablet mode with the little dock is terrible use only because the logo remains in the way and a taking a few design cues from iOS and the way they implemented the stack dock in SlideOver apps is a better idea and should exist both in tabelt mode or Dex Mode. The popup widget function should allow for either widgets or certain apps (social media, messaging, music players like spotify, calendars and files) these apps in particular are all about quick reference choose a file, song or check a calendar appointment, maybe even a quick reply for the messenger. There are 6 ways to improve this and make it a very useful and intergal part of Samsung Dex. This option is is useful - especially when using samsung dex.
