![]() In 1271, Polo set out with his father and uncle, Niccolo and Maffeo Polo, for Asia, where they would remain until 1295. A sophisticated culture outside the reaches of the Vatican seemed unfathomable, and yet that's exactly what the Polo brothers described to confounded Venetians when they arrived home. Khan's Empire, the largest the world had ever seen, was largely a mystery to those living within the borders of the Holy Roman Empire. During their stay with the leader, Khan had expressed his interest in Christianity and asked the Polo brothers to visit again with 100 priests and a collection of holy water. In 1269, the two men returned to Venice and immediately started making plans for their return to Khan's court. Niccolo and Maffeo’s journeys brought them into present-day China, where they joined a diplomatic mission to the court of Kublai Khan, the Mongol leader whose grandfather, Genghis Khan, had conquered Northeast Asia. Polo's mother died when he was young, and his father and uncle, successful jewel merchants Niccolo and Maffeo Polo, were in Asia for much of Polo's youth. ![]() Although he was born to a wealthy Venetian merchant family, much of Polo’s childhood was spent parentless, and he was raised by an extended family. ![]() Around 1292, he left China, acting as escort along the way to a Mongol princess who was being sent to Persia. Polo traveled extensively with his family, journeying from Europe to Asia from 1271 to 1295 and remaining in China for 17 of those years. Marco Polo was a Venetian explorer known for the book The Travels of Marco Polo, which describes his voyage to and experiences in Asia. ![]()

![]() This is where new coordinator Matt Canada will play an important role. At age 39, he’s unlikely to get loose quickly. Hopefully, with a full season under his belt, he will acclimate quicker in 2021. The mental rust likely took a toll as Roethlisberger struggled to diagnose defenses early in games. It’s possible his slow starts in 2020 were a byproduct of the elbow surgery that ended his 2019 season prematurely. In fact, his career completion percentage is higher in the 1st quarter (65.5) than any other quarter while his 1st quarter passer rating (94.9) improves only in the 2nd quarter (96.5). Roethlisberger hasn’t always been a slow starter. Neither proved to be particularly effective. They frequently operated from the same personnel grouping and took one of two forms: either a run-run-pass sequence that often left the Steelers in 3rd and long or multiple consecutive passes, usually short throws from the shotgun, that relied on Roethlisberger to be decisive and accurate. Fichtner’s opening scripts were often unimaginative. Why did Roethlisberger, in particular, and the offense, in general, start so slowly last season? Former coordinator Randy Fichtner certainly played a role. Roethlisberger’s completion percentage improved similarly, from 58% in the 1st quarter to 65, 63 and 73% in quarters 2, 3 and 4. It increased to 104.5, 81.0 and 111.1 in subsequent quarters. His 1st quarter passer rating was just 72.7. Roethlisberger’s numbers reflected (and were in part responsible for) these struggles. Their 53 1st downs represented their lowest output per quarter as well. Pittsburgh had just 995 yards of total offense and averaged just 3.86 yards per play in the 1st quarter in 2020. ![]() Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Steelers offense started games slowly last season. Here are some takeaways from those numbers and the insight they provide for the Steelers’ offense in 2021. ![]() By looking at PFR’s advanced numbers, we can really see where Roethlisberger excelled and where he struggled. ![]() Still, his shortcomings cannot be ignored. It can be easy to forget, given the way things ended, that Roethlisberger did a lot of things well last year. He completed 65.6% of his throws for 3,803 yards with 33 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. When we look at the numbers broadly, Roethlisberger’s season is respectable. But a host of issues (poor line play, a league-worst rushing attack, inaccuracy on the deep ball) conspired to doom the offense down the stretch, leading to an unceremonious playoff exit in the Wild Card round against Cleveland. Most of us know the general narrative by now - Roethlisberger returned from elbow surgery to emerge as an MVP candidate while piloting the Steelers to an 11-0 start. Over the past few days, I’ve been using the site to try to get a better feel for Ben Roethlisberger’s 2020 season. Their numbers range from the broad, such as yearly stats, to the very specific, such as air-yards-per-attempt for a quarterback or average-depth-of-target for a receiver. The folks at Pro Football Reference (PFR) do a terrific job compiling statistics that a football nerd like me can pour over while searching for information. ![]() ![]() Funimation lost the rights to the first two seasons, and they were later acquired by Aniplex of America.īy July 2022, the Black Butler manga had over 32 million copies in circulation.

At some point, while Mario is out for a walk in the woods, the evil entity attacks Peach, hinted at in the text about "he's just staring at me through the window above, and". However, by using wood from the forest itself, he unknowingly pisses off some sort of dark entity that oversaw the forest. He builds a nice log cabin in the woods for him and Peach, possibly as some sort of little woodland retreat. OK, my theory as to the story behind this goes as such (WARNING! Wall of text ahead!): The ending where Mario builds the house takes place first. Just make sure to have seen all endings first in order to understand the whole story. And in the comment section there was a comment of a person who seem to have solved the whole mystery. However, there is this video showing all endings to the game, which I highly recommend watching even if you played the game, since it is almost impossible to see in a playthrough due to the existence of some highly hidden endings.

The missile is guided in flight by two vanes located at mid body which act against the main rocket motors thrust. Unlike most wire guided antitank missiles the Eryx is propelled at a relative low speed of approximately 240 meters per second at its maximum range. similar to the US BGM-71 TOW antitank missile). The main rocket motor is located at mid-body with two exhausts in the side (e.g. After the missile coasts a safe distance the main sustainer motor ignites and burns until impacting the target or it reaches its maximum range of 600 meters. The missile is ejected from its launch tube using a very low powered short burn rocket motor located in the tail.The launching motor completes its burn before leaving the container, protecting the gunner from being burned. The system was demonstrated for a potential Middle Eastern customer in October 2009. The enhanced Eryx also includes a new training simulator. MBDA asserts that the new sight is quieter, reduces weight, increases battery life, and provides a detection range greater than the missile's own maximum range. The new system features a new, non-cooled thermal sight which uses a bolometric sensor. In 2007 MBDA provided funding for the development of an enhanced Eryx system. The Canadian government opted not to participate in the improvement program because it did not meet the new requirements of the Canadian Forces, and conflicted with an ongoing replacement project. MBDA approached the Canadian government twice, once in 2005, and again in 2006, with a proposal to develop an improved version of the Eryx which would see an improved range, sight, and anti-armour capabilities as a way of extending the Eryx's service life. Canadian industries, including Simtran and Solartron Systems, also produced the Eryx Interactive Gunnery Simulator (EVIGS) and the Eryx Precision Gunnery Simulator (EPGS). AlliedSignal Aerospace Canada Inc has been developed the Mirabel thermal imager for the ERYX firing post. In 1989, France and Canada signed a joint venture to co-produce the ERYX missile. The concept firing post (See: ACCP image) used a scaled down version of the MILAN tracking and guidance system, but was found in field condition tests to be impractical both from a technical and cost standpoint. The first prototype was delivered to the French Ministry of Defense for testing in 1982. The weapon system that Aérospatiale offered was basically a mini-short range wire guided antitank missile, the ACCP (Anti Char Courte Portee) which in French translates to Short Range Anti-tank Weapon System. Aérospatiale, the French defense and aerospace firm, believed it was, from a practical standpoint, impossible to design an unguided antitank rocket that could meet the strict requirements. ![]() The requirement was for a cost effective antitank weapon that could defeat any known or future main battle tank at range maximum range of 600 meters with considerable accuracy, including on windy days. The Eryx began as a project in the late 1970s by the French Ministry of defense to replace the short range Luchaire's LRAC F1 STRIM 89mm rocket launcher in the French Army. ![]() ![]() ![]() Depending on what type of TV unit you decide to buy, they can also add more storage space in your living room or dining room.
