After Her notable accessories are twin butterfly-shaped ribbons which are on both sides of her head. Her body also gives out a tremendous dark aura. She wears a cute frilly dress called the Godly Virgin Killer Clothes that has a corset jumper skirt. She has dark blue eyes, an average height, a well-endowed figure and large breasts. Nyx is a beautiful young woman with the cute face of a child that has long black hair and with pointy ears. In ancient art Nyx was depicted as a either a winged goddess or charioteer, sometimes crowned with an aureole of dark mists. ![]() Her appearances in mythology are sparse, but reveal her as a figure of exceptional power. In a Past, She is depicted as a goddess draped in long flowing black robes that are coated with the void of space and glimmering distant stars. Versions of her birth and origins vary, but one interpretation has her as a creator goddess, laying a silver egg that produces the gods responsible for the creation of the world. She is the Greek counterpart to the Roman deity Nox. Nyx has denied his request, and once again went back to sleep. Nyx was finally found and was confronted by Zeus when Artemis had became a threat far too powerful for anyone to handle but the Primordials. Nyx lives in a secret pit of darkness that no one knows about. Because God is the source of most, she despises her because she affects her ability to sleep. She get's woken up by powerful clashes that take place between God and Buddhas. Nyx spends majority of her time sleeping. Nyx is the primordial Greek goddess (and personification) of the night, her name means "the mother night." A shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of creation and mothered other personified deities such as Hypnos and Thanatos, with her brother Erebus, her mother Chaos and even Zeus himself once. Nyx is also apart of Issei's harem after he saved her from being imprisoned in the depths of Hell. Nyx is currently enrolled in Kuoh Academy as a Third-year student and is a member of Issei's class 3-B. She was a member of Spriggan that previously was apart of the the now defunct Alliance of Hell who betrayed the Greek Pantheon after Ahriman took over, and now is an ally of Team DxD. She's also the main arch-enemy of Amara and Nox's arch-nemesis. She is the Best Friend and Rival of Amatsu-Mikaboshi and Amenominakanushi. Throughout her life, Nyx became the guardian of numerous gods, including Hades, Styx, Pandora, Hecate, Eris, Zagreus. Nox, though she is truly an avatar of the Roman goddess to deal with the Greek Empire. Her appearances are sparse in surviving mythology, but reveal her as a figure of such exceptional power and beauty that she is feared by Zeus himself. She is one of the creators of Aether, Hemera, Thanatos, Hypnos, Oneiroi, Moros, Atropos, Lachesis, Clotho, Nemesis, Momus, Oizys, Charon, Alecto and many others with or without Erebus, and Achlys with her mother, Chaos herself. She is the youngest daughter of Chaos and Caligo, and is the youngest sister of Chronos, Gaia, Ouranos, Ananke, Aion, Phanes, Tartarus, Eurynome, Ophion, Eros, Pontus, Physis, Erebus, and She is the aunt of Hydros, Thesis, Ourea and Nesoi. Her counterpart is the Roman Goddess Nox. Nyx, also known as Mother Night, is the Greek Primordial Goddess of the Night and Magic and personification of the Night, who was held in great esteem among the ancients, so much that even Zeus himself stood in awe of her.

Features A view through the weapon's aperture sight The fixed, free-floating, cold hammer-forged barrel has six right-hand grooves with a 1 in 250 mm (1:10 in) rifling twist rate and is pressed and pinned into the receiver. It fires from a closed bolt (bolt forward) position. The primary version of the MP5 family is the MP5A2, which is a lightweight, air-cooled, selective fire delayed blowback operated 9×19mm Parabellum weapon with a roller-delayed bolt. The MP5 is manufactured under license in several nations including Greece (formerly at EBO – Hellenic Arms Industry, currently at ΕΑΣ – Hellenic Defense Systems), Iran ( Defense Industries Organization), Mexico ( SEDENA), Pakistan ( Pakistan Ordnance Factories), Saudi Arabia, Sudan ( Military Industry Corporation), Turkey ( MKEK), and the United Kingdom (initially at Royal Ordnance, later diverted to Heckler & Koch Great Britain). However, in the late 1990s, as a result of the North Hollywood shootout, police special response teams replaced most MP5s with AR-15-based rifles. ![]() The MP5 has become a mainstay of SWAT units of law enforcement agencies in the United States since then. In 1980, the MP5 achieved iconic status as a result of British special forces regiment the SAS when they stormed the Iranian Embassy in London, live on television, rescuing hostages and killing five terrorists during Operation Nimrod. In 1978, the Tropical forearm was introduced to be produced with the MP5. ![]() In 1977, the standard 20 & 30 round, curved steel magazines were introduced for the MP5A2 and MP5A3 design. In 1976, the MP5K was introduced as a request for a variant for South America. It was used in the Vietnam War in 1975 by the Green Berets. In 1974, the MP5SD was introduced, which is a suppressed variant of the MP5. In 1970, the MP5A2 and MP5A3 were introduced. The MP5A1 was introduced in the late '60s, which is the first model to have the iconic ring front sight and the slimline handguard. Work on the MP5 began in 1964 and two years later it was adopted by the German Federal Police, border guard and army special forces, referring to as the "MP64" or later "MP5". The MP5 was created within the fourth group of firearms and was initially known as the HK54. The first type was chambered for 7.62×51mm NATO, the second for the 7.62×39mm M43 round, the third for the intermediate 5.56×45mm NATO caliber, and the fourth type for the 9×19mm Parabellum pistol cartridge. Heckler & Koch, encouraged by the success of the G3 automatic rifle, developed a family of small arms consisting of four types of firearms all based on a common G3 design layout and operating principle. Despite its higher cost, the MP5 remained the more successful of the two options. In 1999, Heckler & Koch developed the UMP, the MP5's successor. The MP5 is one of the most widely used submachine guns in the world, having been adopted by over forty nations and numerous military, law enforcement, intelligence, and security organizations. There are over 100 variants and clones of the MP5, including some semi-automatic versions. ![]() The Heckler & Koch MP5 ( German: Maschinenpistole 5) is a submachine gun that fires 9x19mm Parabellum cartridges, developed in the 1960s by Heckler & Koch.

This means you can just use the Mac normally and then run Windows apps-which can be searched for just like Mac apps and pinned in the Dock-normally. Unlike on Chrome OS, where you can only run Windows VMs in a window, the M1-based version already supports advanced features like Coherence. Since I’m familiar with Parallels, I’m impressed by what I see here. In any event, after adding the WOA VM to Parallels and activating the technical preview (using a code that Parallels provides when you sign-up), Parallels configures the environment and then boots into WOA for the first time. I credit both Apple, for its high-quality M1 transition, and Parallels, for its own engineering, for this. And as it turns out, there is one way to use Parallels Desktop on an M1-based Mac with Windows: You can download an Insider Preview version of Windows 10 on ARM (WOA).ĭespite this being an early preview, things work as expected, assuming you’re familiar with Parallels Desktop, and aside from the Windows Insider requirement, the whole thing already seems really polished. But what we’re really interested in, of course, is Windows. Yeah, that’s a pretty small field of choices, and I can only imagine the issues people would have trying to run an ARM-based version of Linux right now in the technical preview. Instead, it can only run ARM-based virtual machines (VMs). Most notably, you can not use it to run x86/圆4-based versions of Windows (or Linux, or whatever) at the moment. And I use virtualization to capture screenshots of Windows during Setup for the Windows 10 Field Guide.Īnyway, the Parallels Desktop technical preview release for M1-based Macs is an early look at the work that Parallels is doing to adapt to Apple’s new architecture. They’re used in help desk and support scenarios. In addition to running Windows productivity apps, developers use virtualization to test native and web apps on other platforms and browsers. (It’s supposed to come to Chrome OS in the future as well.)īut there are lots of other reasons why one might want to use a virtualization solution on whatever platform. Coherence is a big reason why I prefer Parallels over other Mac-based virtualization solutions. This lets you run those Windows apps side-by-side under macOS, as if they were native apps, and not in an OS/desktop window that is visually isolated from the rest of the system. But one key benefit of Parallels, at least for those using virtualization to solve that “last mile” problem of running one or a handful of key Windows applications, is its Coherence feature. There are pros and cons to both approaches, of course. ![]() But some are traditional client-installed virtualization solutions like Parallels Desktop, which is starting to make its way to Chrome OS now in addition to the Mac. Some are cloud-based, like Microsoft’s coming Cloud PC offering. We’ll get to that.Īnd with the shift away from Windows as the center of personal computing, we’re starting to see more solutions for running Windows applications on new platforms, many of which are mobile. ![]() In the near future, it’s Windows (and presumably Linux) on Apple Silicon (M1). Back in the day, that meant emulating Intel-based (x86) Windows on PowerPC-based Macs. I used Connectix Virtual PC, which was later purchased by Microsoft, back in the early days of OS X almost 20 years ago before moving on to more modern solutions like VMWare Fusion and then Parallels Desktop.Īnd anytime there’s a processor architecture change, these things get even more interesting. Virtualization has long been important on the Mac, primarily because of the app gap, a situation that is a lot less problematic today. But there’s a rich history to consider here. ![]() Access is granted by placing a magnet in a sweet spot on the compartment's face.

#3 – Poor Gas MileageĪs already mentioned, one of the benefits of variable valve timing is an increase in fuel economy. When that power isn’t there, there’s not much you can do. While you may think this isn’t that big of a deal, there may be times where you need to floor it to prevent an accident. Power to accelerate quickly and/or climb hills will be lacking. The engine will accelerate more slowly than normal. But with a faulty oil control valve or VVT solenoid, excess engine oil may be introduced into the VVT system which can result in rough idling, stalling, or just poor engine running in general. Under normal conditions, the VVT system activates at higher RPMs or when under load bearing conditions such as driving up a hill. When it does, any or all of these symptoms can alert you to problems: #1 – Rough Idle The VVT solenoid and OCV comprise an integrated unit. See Also: Advantages of Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Bad Oil Control Valve Symptoms The OCV directs a continuous flow of oil to the timing chain and associated sprockets increasing lubrication and cooling oil flow to these parts. There is a secondary benefit to this system. This activity occurs almost instantly and is invisible to the driver. When the engine reaches a steady speed, the OCV closes and the cams return to their initial positions. The cam position can be advanced or retarded depending on the engine speed and throttle (gas pedal) position. When this valve opens, oil under pressure flows to the cam control mechanism quickly changing cam position with respect to the driving chain or belt. Signaled by the ECU (electronic control unit), the variable valve timing solenoid opens its integral oil control valve. You are stopped at an intersection or just cruising along and you step on the gas. These systems utilize the readily available oil flow from the engine lubrication system to do the work. In most modern automobiles engines, varying the valve timing is done by cam control mechanisms that alter cam position with respect to the engine crankshaft. Related: 5 Symptoms of a Bad Cam Phaser What is an Oil Control Valve (and How Does It Work?) And beyond just performance and fuel economy benefits, VCT has been found to help reduce vehicle emissions such as oxides of nitrogen. Today virtually all automobile builders have jumped on board the VCT train. This system incorporated the first use of a cam mid-position lock to hold the cams at a center setting when no advance or retard was required. Variable cam timing also began to see wide acceptance in motorcycle engines in the early 2000s.īorg Warner recently developed a VCT system for the 2016 Hyundai Lambda II engine series. Porsche introduced it with the VarioCam in the V8-powered 928 model. Honda incorporated this in their VTEC engines in 1989. Gradually, variable cam timing began to catch on. This one change greatly benefitted this small Alfa engine. The effect of this mechanism was to add mid-range power. The design was very basic and provided intake valve retardation as engine speed increased. This feature came standard on the 2.0L fuel injected engine in the 1980 Spider. Engineers reasoned that varying the valve operation as engine speed changes could offer both performance and fuel economy benefits.Īlfa Romeo was the first manufacturer to offer VCT on a production automobile. Patents for such systems on early engines date as far back as the 1920s. This concept introduced cam timing that varied around a predetermined pattern of valve operation. Then variable cam timing (VCT) came along. Can You Drive With a Faulty Oil Control Valve?.What Causes the VVT Solenoid and OCV to Go Bad?.What is an Oil Control Valve (and How Does It Work?).Valve timing was set to to achieve the best performance while yielding acceptable fuel economy. ![]() This pattern (called valve timing) was pre-determined and designed into the engine by the manufacturer. The cams in vehicles of decades past provided a fixed pattern of valve operation with respect to the position of the pistons. These camshafts are typically chain or belt driven from the engine crankshaft. There may be as many as four camshafts depending on the engine type in your vehicle. These valves are pushed open and closed by camshafts. ![]() The valves in the engine of your car, SUV or truck operate to control the flow of air, fuel and exhaust gases through the engine combustion chambers. Let’s look at some of the most common symptoms of a bad oil control valve, what causes failure, and how much replacing the VVT solenoid will cost. ![]() ![]() By optimizing when valves open and close, VVT solenoids boost power and fuel economy. Variable valve timing solenoids (oil control valves) play an important role in engine performance and efficiency. To understand the variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid and associated oil control valve (OCV), it will help to know the history of this device and how it benefits our cars, SUVs and light trucks today. ![]() The idea of double vaults also fulfills a biblical injunction, that what God has joined together let’s no man (in this case, death) put asunder. Harrison appears less bothered about land scarcity at least for now. ![]() And the idea of double vaults on a spot makes sense for the economy of land space, though Mr. Harrison, many couples opt for that option. In addition, vaults at Ebony Garden come either as single or as double to serve especially the need of couples who prefer to be buried together at the same spot. So they are at liberty to come visit at anytime with exclusive access to the grave. The family members are even allowed to keep keys to the site. In those special vault areas, there is a sitting space for visitors. “Some people prefer private space when they come to spend a moment with their beloved ones. Dehinde says the segmentation is much less about class distinction than about choice. It is a self-contained kind of apartment for the dead as against mass burial ground. The only space where the dead are buried without a company are the special vaults. What this means is that, the occupants of vault in any of these burial sites will have companies, but the number of companies will vary according to the burial site selected. The middle-density area is of range between the high and low-density area. The high-density area has a longer cluster of vaults while low-density consists of fewer vaults. There are also medium-density and special sites. The space is segmented into high-density and low-density burial sites. There are almost 1000 vaults on two hectares of land occupied by the cemetery. Ebony Vaults at Yaba is located on the Lagos mainland, few meters away from University of Lagos, Akoka campus, but a new cemetery has been developed on the Lagos Island at Ikoyi which is a lot bigger. Harrison.Īnd the Ebony boss has been doing that in the last three decades until he set up Ebony Vaults at Atan, Yaba in 2003. But we can make that experience comfortable for everyone,” says Mr. And we want people to be comfortable with the idea of death and burial process. Many of these people prefer to be buried on their own private property, but many more would love to be buried in a decent cemetery where their loved one could visit during anniversary and share quiet moment with the departed. Nnamdi Azikwe Former First Lady, Stella Obasanjo Former governor of old Ondo State, Chief Adekunle Ajasin Ambassador Mathew Mbu Sam Mbakwe, General Theophilus Danjuma’s mother including President Goodluck Jonathan’s younger brother. His list include the great Owelle of Onisha, Dr. Harrison has buried many dignitaries perhaps more than anybody else in funeral business in Nigeria: royalty, politicians, successful professionals, foreigners, name it, he has buried them all. He may have learnt that lesson over 30 years of attending to families of deceased who eagerly want to get their folks buried as soon as burial day is set. It is not his ways to keep visitors waiting, especially visitors on appointment. Dehinde Harrison, the CEO of Ebony Vaults is going to arrive late for the meeting, but the front desk lady makes the long wait seem shorter. Her geniality comes close to that offered at five star hotel where staffers are trained to pamper visitors regardless of their station in life. The paved way leads into a reception office where a pleasant looking lady warmly welcome the visitors. The shoal basks in the luxury of cold water despite the burning November sun. At a distance, a white Japanese fountain also spills forth sparkling water over a small group of orange-color aquarium fish. That happens all day, and it explains the verdant greenness of the cemetery. Close by, a water sprayer sends forth micro pellets of water in different direction of green grass. Under the wide canopy where they are parked, the automobiles compliment the grandiloquent visage of the property.įrom the car park, I walk through a paved way hedged by well-manicured flowers. The parking lot, capable of accommodating 200 cars, is lined with a fleet of hearses such as Lincoln Navigator, Mercedes-Benz and other exotic funeral cars. Each is as wide as it is tall, like an entrance leading to a well-protected city.Īt the main entrance, a smartly dressed security man raises his right hand in salute, then points to the parking lot where I eventually pull over. There are four of such gates at different sections of the cemetery. The gate towers above everything else in the surrounding with its artistic distinction. The one kilometer road oozes wave of heat in the hot November afternoon as I drive into the newly built cemetery through a tall gate made of marble and wrought iron. THE road leading to Ebony Vaults at Ikoyi from Alagbon police station is a tarred one. |
