![]() Hell, she’s shot more people than you’ve shook hands with.) (Seriously, by the end of the game, she’s murdered up an entire island. But as the game progresses, there is no option to play the game stealthily. She is forced to kill a deer for sustenance, and soon, she kills to defend herself. Lara also rescues, and fails to rescue, various of her other shipwrecked colleagues.īut just because I like Lara as a character, it doesn’t mean I like everything Crystal Dynamics has done to her. Her friend Sam, however, is kidnapped-and Forbes writer Jennifer Bosier points out that Sam is also a princess-and Lara rescues this damsel in distress (more than once those islanders are persistent). But she’s never been rescued…even when it would have made sense. She’s shot at, hunted, and manhandled (more on that, below). In short order, she’s impaled on a spike and her foot is caught in a bear trap. Although Prior Lara grunted with exertion, this version of Lara frequently groans in agony. ![]() She manages to free herself, but not without some pain. Then she’s kidnapped and hung out to dry…literally. When first we meet our heroine, she’s aboard a ship, but in short order she and her colleagues are shipwrecked on an island. This Lara is fantastically expressive and conveys pain, frustration, wonder, hope, and even more pain in a way that sets a new bar for other game protagonists of any gender to reach for. Because of the fabulous motion-capture technology Crystal Dynamics uses, we can focus more on her face and her expressions more than her overall physical assets. Instead of strappy short shorts, she wears cargo pants. This new Lara is less pneumatic, more athletic. (You have but to google “Lara Croft” and “hot” to see what I mean.) As I said in my intro, although she has been recognized as a symbol of female power-after all, she gets the job done-she has also been viewed as an object of male pleasure. But she’s done so with over-endowed mammary glands and no hint of a good support bra. Since her inception in 1996, Lara has been an action heroine who explores, solves puzzles, and yes, even kills. Has she been physically objectified here as she has been in the past? It seems that the inexperienced Lara is the reason Reyes and her crew are on this disastrous mission, and she blames Lara for their troubles. The second woman, Joslin Reyes, is clearly hostile to Lara.

"That's a longer distance than going from Giants Stadium to Dodgers Stadium and back." "We've already removed about 4,000 trees that fell into our infrastructure in our service area and about 5,700 power poles and more than 900 miles of powerlines," PG&E Spokeswoman Mayra Tostado said. The calls for service have come often across the Bay Area. The center is staffed 24/7 to support the restoration efforts in Santa Clara County due to storm damage. Staff was on hand at the Cupertino Operations Emergency Center Tuesday, at the ready as the 15th storm of 2023 blew through Bay Area.

The county is looking for residents impacted by the Feb. Santa Cruz County is in the process of gathering preliminary damage information from county residents impacted by the storms to submit a case for state and federal funding. "We're still recovering from 2017," Santa Cruz County spokesperson Jason Hoppin said, "We've got roads that haven't been fixed from that storm so these things are kind of layering on top of each other." In others, like a portion of Main Street in Soquel that washed out weeks ago, temporary fixes like steel plates on the road are the only things giving the residents access to the rest of their community.Ĭounty officials saying at the time the Soquel road washed out earlier in March that all of the new storm impacts are adding to an already overwhelmed to-do list of repairs they're trying to make. In some of those areas, partial road closures are still in effect. In less than three months, the county saw back-to-back flooding, extreme debris on beaches and even roadways giving out. Rain and intense winds hit the area again Tuesday. One of the hardest hit areas by the repeated storms this year has been Santa Cruz County.

Oral-B brushes are also known for their small round heads which allows them to get around each tooth, which is only aided by the rotation of the brush head. This brush specifically can rotate 44,000 times per minute, which dentist Jonathan Levine says causes “a lot of disruption of plaque.” According to the brand’s website, all their round toothbrush heads rotate 45 degrees to the right and back, to 45 degrees to the left, as well as oscillate back and forth. So if you’re in the vicinity, and you’re not even touching your tooth, it’s supposed to be dislodging bacteria.” The sweet spot is a toothbrush that does it all, but orthodontist Janet Stoess-Allen, says that because teeth are curved, “rotating heads are more effective in getting to all sides of them.”īrush movement: Rotating, oscillating, and sonic | Soft bristles: Yes | Pressure sensor: Yes | Timer: Yes | Brush head size | SmallĬosmetic dentist Lana Rozenberg likes that Oral-B brushes generally “have more features” and are “more advanced than the others.” They have a slight edge over other popular electric toothbrushes because they rotate, oscillate, and pulsate (or vibrate) combining all three technologies. “The rotation mechanism, you actually have to touch the tooth and it’s rotating and it’s helping you clean it,” she says. Dentist Sharon Huang of Les Belles NYC explains that sonic toothbrushes use a sonic wave to dislodge debris all on its own, which she likes because it requires less force to get the job done. Some dentists say that one isn’t necessarily better than the other, while others appreciate the power of sonic slightly more. Sometimes you will hear oscillating and rotating used interchangeably because they both refer to the actual movement of the bristles - unlike sonic which refers to the vibration of bristles - but rotating indicates movement in a circle while oscillating refers to a side to side motion. ![]() ![]() “Rotating or rotary toothbrushes have small circular heads that rotate back and forth to clean each tooth, and there’s sonic toothbrushes that have vibrating brush heads that move the bristles side to side at really high speeds, sometimes up to frequencies of 50,000 movements per minute,” says Dr.Cooper. It’s mostly personal preference.” Since the differences can be so subtle, we asked 16 dentists to break down their picks for the best electric models - all ADA approved - below.Įlectric toothbrushes tend to fall into three camps: rotating, oscillating, and sonic. Sonya Krasilnikov, a dentist and co-founder of Dental House, says, “Choosing between Sonicare and Oral-B is like picking between a Mercedes and BMW. After that, you shouldn’t really stress - at least not when it comes to picking among dentist-approved electric options. “The seal of acceptance says that a product does what it says it does and is safe and effective when used as directed,” says dentist and ADA consumer adviser Matt Messina. You can’t really go wrong so long as it has the ADA Seal of Acceptance. You’ve got your choice of rotating and oscillating and sonic technologies rechargeable and battery-operated models bluetooth connectivity, and so much more. The brushes have years of research behind them, and it shows, but within those brands and beyond, the once simple electric toothbrush has now become a more complex tech product. Cooper. “With that degree of attention, brushing for two minutes twice a day, you’ll be just fine.” Using the right toothbrush is also key, and it’s the classic dental-care brands - think Philips Sonicare and Oral-B - that often earn our experts’ stamp of approval. “You just angle it at a 45 degree angle, sweep back and forth, and brush down covering all the surfaces of the teeth,” says Dr. Though, both manual and electric toothbrushes have to be used correctly to be effective. One independent study, showed that electric toothbrushes are better at reducing plaque and gingivitis and, according to dentist and vice-president of clinical development at Tend, Marc Schlenoff, they help lessen the force put into cleaning teeth and gums, reducing the risk of gum recession and wearing away tooth structure. ![]() ![]() But many dentists believe the latter to have a slight edge. Ada Cooper, a manual toothbrush actually can deliver the same dental hygiene benefits as an electric toothbrush.

It has served numerous mission roles, including that of raider, patrol, ship, scout and cruiser. Klingon Bird-of-Prey served the Klingon Defense Forces from the late 23rd century to the late 24th century. In year 2233, Narada emerged from a black hole, 50,000 miles from the edge of Klingon space, creating the alternate reality. From inside, spaceship is much like a ghost train and combination of log flume. It is capable to drill a hole into a planet’s core. Narada is a Romulan mining vessel which looks like a giant attack squid. The ship has a cloaking device and its ablative armor provides protection even when the shields fail. It may have many flaws, but it has teeth with phase cannon and quantum torpedoes. The USS Defiant is a 24th century Federation Defiant-class starship operated by Starfleet.
