SMGs are confirmed for infiltrators. They will be a primary weapon available to all classes and are meant for close range combat. The NC SMG shown had 25 bullets per magazine (likely with 167 damage per bullet), the TR version 35 (likely with 143 bullet per shot). The VS SMG wasn't ready to be shown yet. Source for this is Friday Night Ops - Episode 17 Apparently the devs think that giving infiltrators SMGs isn't going to create any problems like shotguns did in beta. With that there isn't any reason why auto scout rifles should be worse than carbines.
Or they'll just remain useless. The goal for the scout rifle was to close the gap for infiltrator. It has no use for mid/long fight since the bolt action is just flat out better than anything else(but less forgiving) AND the SMG is just going to crap over anything else in the arsenal of an INF for close quarter. Scout rifle don't really have much point now. Or yeah, they could be buff but I doubt it.
I was wondring the same. I believe the only reason why they introduced SMG is to give us a new reason to spend SC. But I don't understand what am I supposed to do with my scout rifle once SMG are introduced. Today it feels like poor version of a carbine, tomorrow is it going to be the poor version of a SMG?
I was always under the impression that Scout Rifles were made for medium to close medium ranges rather than CQC, or at least that's where I find the full auto rifle most useful. Bolt actions at these ranges are simply too unwieldy to be relable, whereas I have no trouble control the Scout Rifle. I don't think I've ever thought of a Scout Rifle as something to use when you're up in an enemies face.
Honestly, I don't see any reason to introduce whole new class of weaponry into the glitchy soup we have now. What's there for SMGs to do? In terms of short range oriented shootaz we have: carbines, LMG and AR variants, shotguns, pistols, MAX weapons and scout rifles (correct if I missed something). Where does SMG class fit in there? What's the niche? More importantly, what about scout rifles? Should they hit harder and have more effective range to differentiate them? Some unique ammunition options (shield disruptors that kill infantry shields akin to EMP nades but are meh against hp, for example)? I fear that SMG would turn out like "more of the same".
Xiphos, I hope you are right. 50 % more ammo, better Hip COF and less recoil (or faster auto-centering) would fix scout rifles. However, even then SMG will still have its own niche (Bio lab <-> Amp station scout rifle) fast moving while ADS (which is really surprising) probably better TTK ( similar to top carbines !? if not no LA will ever use it) better Hip COF lower range higher dmg drop higher bullet drop To me SMG fits pretty well for LA and Infiltrators ... I think about nowadays sneaky special units with suppressors and SMGs (like MP5).
...or...SMG's could just be another Blatant straight-upgrade cash grab like the Longshot was, and anything with similar performance stats will get nerfed instead (lol, LA80 speed) to make sure their "product rollout" sales metrics impress the shareholders
So were going to see Snipers every where running around invis then popping up behind everyone pumping them full of lead then invising and running off before anything happens to them? Hmm....no problems there.... So Infiltrators are going to pretty much become Jetpack-less inviso Light Assault troopers. Maybe they will make the SMGs really, really, really bad...
The way I see it Scouts: Semis - long/medium range Auto - medium/close range SMG V1 - short range low damage, in line with rof of fast carbine but less damage per bullet V2 - very short range, very low damage, fastest rof in game but less damage them a stock pistol Pretty much the SMG is an alternative to the shotgun for the spray and pray type of players. In our case, is so we shut up about close range weapons. From what I saw on the video, it looks like the COF of the SMG blooms pretty fast and wide, if you keep your finger down. The big question, and the one that will dictate if the auto scout will be totally useless or not, is how dramatic is the damage drop at medium range. If the damage drops dramatically at over 20-30 metes, them the auto-scout would still have a place. Now I just want one more pre-set slot to accommodate for one more weapons to use....
Could always just, you know, use an IR/NV scope and shoot the "inviso Light Assault troopers"? Or even just shoot the obvious shimmering silhouette.
I have the same feeling like you..... Especially people with low graphics are gonna get ****** because you can't see them unless your on top of them, And no one is gonna run with NV/IR on there screen. And the TTK in this game is already so low, before you can aim your dead. I hope this isn't the case but we will see what impact it will have ingame.
Lol, I dont have any issues finding or firing at those shimmering sillouhettes. I dont need a NV scope, I see them perfectly fine in the dark just normal. Infact, they are overly easy to see, if anything I think the Cloaking should be more invis. I just think its kinda tarded to be giving a kit that is supposed to be a long range sniper an automatic CQB weapon. Infils should be dog *** dead if they get discovered, that piddly pistol should be their side arm. Its why they are infiltrators, they are supposed to get in undiscovered, wreck havoc with explosives and snipers then get out.
The SMGs shown seemed to have a relatively wide hip fire COF and large COF bloom. At least that was my impression. If they are less accurate than carbines but supposedly better at CQC then it means they'll put out a lot of damage fast. They will bridge the gap between shotguns and carbines. Like shotguns they also have 0.75x ADS strafe speed modifier. There are already 2000 dps carbines with good hip fire accuracy though so I wonder how much dps SMGs will do.
I think he meant to say "So were going to see Shimmering Snipers every where running around pretending to be invis while shimmering more them a Las Vegas Show Girl then popping up behind everyone , waiting for a second for their noisy cloak to deactive, pumping them full of lead then pretending to be invising and running off while shimmering like a Xmas tree, before anything happens to them? Hmm....no problems there" Are we talking an empty base with a dude afk or doing in the middle of bunch of enemies that are guarding? The fundamental flaw with our class as never been the ability to kill at CQC. There are plenty of videos of people doign pistol/knife combos and killing enemies faster them you can with a shotgun, and will be able with the SMG. The fundamental problem with infiltrators in CQC is that you CANNOT use your cloak if there are people around. Between the fact that you are still visible, that you cannot defend yourself while in cloak, and most important, because every 12 seconds you make a very unique, pretty loud noise announcing "enemy cloaker near you".
Yeah, Icesail, exactly. if anything, I think the Cloaking should be a greater asset to the Infiltrator. You should not be making noise when you uncloak and the cloaking should be harder to spot, even on the move. Also, you should be able to fire atleast 1 round while invis or knife a guy once or something. The cloaking should be the Infil's strength. If they are not using it to their best, they die. No need to go and give them a machinegun. It kinda ruins the whole "infiltrator" idea. Infiltrator to me means quiet, sneaky, sabotage, killing lone guys....not running in like a weak HA with a mini-machinegun hosing people down. Besides, if you an infiltrator amongst a group of enemy soldiers in CQC trying to knife and what not, your doing it wrong to begin with. You deserve to be sighted and shot in the face for playing your class wrong.
i could deal with the visible shimmer if i was silent or at least a 1/3 as loud, right now its safer to use a jet pack and run on the roof as its much quieter and less noticeable and lets you fight back
This right here is why you're not seeing eye-to-eye with the Infiltrator players. The whole point of being an Infiltrator is to infiltrate. We're not supposed to be just long-range snipers - ambush style play is supposed to be viable. That's why they gave us shotguns back in beta. Giving us shotguns turned out to be too OP, so they were removed - and unfortunately for us, a balanced replacement never happened. The hope is that SMGs will be a powerful-but-not-OP CQB weapon, letting us go back to actualy infiltrating instead of playing 300m point-and-click. Scout rifles sorta work, but the time and risk involved with getting close enough to use them effectively doesn't really pay off. Besides, now that the game has matured a bit, a lot more people (myself included) run around with IRNV. So worrying about invisible ninja assassins overrunning the game is a bit silly. Even better CQB weapons and opponents who don't use IRNV, an infiltrator trying to be Rambo is just going to die stupidly.
The SMG is being added so that the infiltrator can have a weapon that they can infiltrate with, and every other class can have it too because it doesn't matter if they don't.
Eh.. I, for one, plan on using my infil suit a lot more with SMG's. From what I can see(faster maneuverability, faster strifing when ADS compared to other weapons and the like), they are meant to be used solely for CQC. This will, IMO, make EMP grenades much more useful outside of group play. I think LA's will benefit more from them but Infiltrators should have a much more solid CQC base to operate from with these. *edits to add* Also.. not sure that making them a secondary would be a good idea. If that happened, then there would be no tradeoff to using long ranged weaponry, such as the bolt actions for infls, the high damage, low RoF carbines for eng/LA, and so and so forth. I personally know that if this was made a secondary weapon, then my default setup for my LA/Engineer suit would be an AC-X11 for mid-long carnage and the Cyclone for CQC.

Instead of studying leadership, why not spend some time studying leaders and strategies in the wild? You can learn a lot from leadership experts, but you always see the leader and what he or she does through the expert's personal lens. Supplement that learning with studying real leaders in real life situations and draw your own conclusions. The posts in this series will help you.
Every week I'll point you to articles by and about real leaders in real situations and to articles about how real companies are faring in the marketplace. Read them. Think about them. Draw your own lessons and conclusions from them. Then try to apply those lessons in your own real life.
This week I'm pointing you to articles about John Kramer, Kateri Moll Haskett, Daniel Zhang, Kim Lazerus, and Chris Barbin.
From Dale Buss: Cambridge Engineering Leaders Help Their People Matter
"Eleven years ago, John Kramer was the second-generation owner and CEO of Cambridge Engineering, which built industrial and retail HVAC systems. He'd risen through the sales ranks at his father's company to the rank of president, but it was time for Kramer to put his own stamp on the future and direction of the mid-sized manufacturer based in Chesterfield, Missouri."
From Barrett J. Brunsman: Haskett bookends her day with mind, body workouts
"Haskett, 49, said working out her mind and body before and after a day on the job keeps things in balance."
From McKinsey & Company: Speak softly, make tough decisions: An interview with Alibaba Group chairman and CEO Daniel Zhang
"The chairman and CEO of China's e-commerce giant describes Alibaba's approach to innovation and how he balances analytics and instinct to push himself to spot hidden opportunities."
From Billy Yost: Kim Lazerus Isn't an HR Fixer-Upper—She's a Builder
"Seasoned retail veteran Kim Lazerus on her past seven years building a successful human resources department at Maverik."
From Adam Bryant: "There's Way Too Much Happy Talk in Business." Time for Real Transparency
"Chris Barbin's experience is broad and deep. He was a co-founder and CEO of Appirio, an information technology consulting company that was acquired by Wipro, which named Barbin its chief culture officer until he left that role earlier this year. He is also a venture partner at GGV Capital. I first met Barbin seven years ago, and was eager to catch up with him to hear how his thinking about culture and teams had evolved. He shared many smart insights in our interview."

What is General Liability Insurance?
Helps cover claims that your business caused bodily injury or property damage.
What does it cover?
- Third-party bodily injury: a customer slipping or falling on your premises
- Third-party property damage: your employee damages a client's property while doing work at their home or business
- Reputational harm: being sued for something you or your employees said
- Advertising injury: being sued for using a photograph in an ad that you were not given permission to use
How much does it cost?
Many factors go into determining the cost of your insurance. Depending upon your type of business, your rate will be determined on:
- Gross Sales
- Gross Payroll
- Square footage of the premises
- Sub-contractor exposures (contractors, artisans, etc.)
Other factors include:
- Years in business
- Prior loss experience
- Your location
- Type of business
Typical costs for a small business can range anywhere from $300 – $6,000 (or more for general contractors). For a lot of small businesses, the costs can be higher in their first 3-years in business. This is because they have not yet had loss experience.
An experienced insurance advisor can help you navigate obtaining and reviewing your insurance. Please let us know if we can help.

Sometimes a romance starts with honest-to-god love at first sight. But other times, a pair doesn't exactly start off strong. In the three titles we've chosen for you this month, each couple begins with mixed feelings, unsure if a fairy-tale ending is even possible. Fortunately for readers, the journey is oh-so-satisfying.
Third-generation rancher and rodeo competitor Kari Lynn Dell returns readers to the world of professional rodeo in Tougher in Texas, the third book in her Texas Rodeo series. Independent, sassy and tough, beautiful rodeo competitor Shawnee Pickett is the opposite of tall, dark and intense producer Cole Jacobs. He has his hands full keeping Jacobs Livestock horses and bulls performing at top level for contracted rodeos. The last thing Cole wanted was to deal with Shawnee on his team. Shawnee has known Cole and his family for years, and has always enjoyed teasing the stoic cowboy. Now that they're working closely on a daily basis, however, she learns there's much more to him than a hard body and a handsome face. Should she give in to the lure of temptation and sleep with Cole? They both have trust issues from traumatic events in their pasts, and given how close their family ties are, hooking up could damage those relationships. But despite both of their efforts to keep the other at arm's length, they're irresistibly drawn together. But when Cole learns the truth about the big secret she's been keeping, will he still want her?
The rodeo setting rings with authenticity and vibrant color, and the hero and heroine are layered and well-developed, their relationship romantic and realistic with lots of sexual tension. This latest in a unique, stellar series is sure to send readers racing to download the other novels in the series, Reckless in Texas and Tangled in Texas.
Canadian author Casey Griffin brings readers a lighthearted blend of love and mystery with A Wedding Tail, the third novel in her Rescue Dog Romance series. Cynical wedding planner Zoe Plum plans perfect weddings for happy couples. After her groom left her waiting at the altar six years earlier, she locked her battered heart behind a wall and avoided involvement with men. When handsome, romantic musician Levi Dolson serves as a last-minute groomsman for a wedding party, Zoe is definitely attracted to him. Unfortunately for Levi, she's equally determined not to acknowledge how she feels.
Focused, deceptively easygoing Levi is committed to prying the real Zoe out from behind the happily single facade she shows the world. He's convinced she's the woman for him, but can't get her to admit that their connection goes beyond the physical. He easily charms her cute little dachshund Freddy, but Zoe isn't as easily swayed.
When a series of assaults on Zoe's business, wedding parties and vehicle threaten her safety, she's shaken and turns to Levi for help. Coping with the puzzling and mysterious threats draws them closer together, and when all seems lost, Levi and Freddy are all that stand between Zoe and danger. What's a girl to do when confronted with a gorgeous man and an adorable dog determined to rescue her from both evil intent and not-so-happy singlehood? Could Zoe be ready to plan her own wedding?
This quirky, often hilarious novel boasts a charming cast of characters, buttressed by a solid mystery plot and plenty of sexual tension.
Harper Sloan hits it out of the park with Kiss My Boots, the second novel in her Coming Home series. Beautiful Quinn Davis lives life on her own terms in her small Texas hometown. She fell in love with Tate Montgomery when they were only teenagers, and when he returned to Georgia to go to college, he promised to love her forever. Then he stopped taking her calls and letters. He broke her heart, and she's never forgiven him. When Tate returns unexpectedly, taking up his late grandfather's medical practice, Quinn is determined to ignore him.
Tate had valid reasons for breaking contact with the only girl he ever loved. Now those reasons are gone, and he's damned if he'll let anything stand between him and Quinn. He knows he'll have to grovel, probably beg and certainly explain what happened to Quinn and her two very protective older brothers. Quinn's heart has always belonged to Tate, but after the long years of separation, can she trust him again? She's grown accustomed to days without him, but now that he's back, every hour they spend apart feels like weeks. Is there any hope they can move past old hurts to find a happy future together, or will he break her fragile heart a second time?
This steamy novel is all about second chances and learning to trust again. The honorable hero and heroine, charming small-town setting and endearing secondary characters are certain to garner more readers for Sloan.
Lois Dyer writes from her home in Port Orchard, Washington.

Mars Bar replacement Jupiter 21 topped out at its full 12-story height a few weeks back, and, as the project progresses, the retail space is now on the market. The listing, spotted by EV Grieve, informs us that 1,400 square feet are available on the ground floor and 3,056 square feet on the lower level, with 1,252 square feet of storage space and possession scheduled for the second quarter of 2013. There's a new rendering, too, shown at right. "All uses" for the space will be considered, but the premises are "being prepared for restaurant use." Oh hey, how about that promised return of Mars Bar? That 4 a.m. liquor license is still good.

I just wanted to share with you that my son will also ship off on July 3 for Boot Camp. He will be training with an instructor SpecOps Navy Seal trained in Fitness and swimming. He enlisted in the AIRC. Your recruiter will help with fitness trainers. Maybe our paths will cross at PIR (graduation).
Good luck to you Brooke.
Check out the various GF, wives, finances groups by going to the tabs above, just below the N4M banner at the top of the pages. I think you will find a lot of information there and possibly someone just like you.

I am not involved in the rescue swimmer...but I believe that I have read posts so you might want to check the groups for the swimmers and other rates you listed. Queen Bee has a number of discussions on the Main tab...that deal with groups, where you can look up almost anything.
hi! i am also joining the navy i leave nov 9th 2011. I first contacted my recruiter in feb this year i was also wanting to do airr. He said okay sure and he took me to meps and i was going to go to meps get a job then do the next pst and get my contract. so i did my depth perception test while i was at meps. I scored an 82 on the asvab and the job they gave me at meps was ctm. well i did my first PST and i did pretty good i only needed to work on my situps and id have my contract next pst. The thing is at the pst your going to need to be under the 9s that means a 9min swim 9 min run and above 90 pushups and sit ups and above 9 pullups. you get your contract after that usually. I found out after a while that the job i got at meps(CTM) is actually an amazing job and ive heard its good for when you get out and its one of the best in the navy. So i decided to stick to it because i started to think if i dont retire in the navy its not going to be useful to me to be Airr because lifeguards dont get paid much. in my opinion if you wanna do Airr i would dedicate everything to it. wake up early swim for a couple of hrs and workout alot everydayy. but Good luck and i hope you make it but no matter what you joined the navy so you cant go wrong no matter what.:D

Snark has sold an astounding 25 million clip-on guitar tuners since 2010, and now the company says it's overhauling its Silver Snark design to make it faster, more precise and extend its battery life.
The Silver Snark 2 features the firm's excellently titled 'Hyper-Snark' software, alongside a new rubber coating that reportedly better isolates the tuner from unwanted vibrations and interference, making for a faster, more accurate reading.
Snark promise a fully chromatic pitch calibration between 415-466Hz, meaning the tuner will jump on identifying even the lower frequencies of baritone and bass instruments.
Emphasis is also being placed on the build quality of the new tuners, with the firm saying the vulcanised rubber collar joints make them "virtually indestructible" (which sounds like an invitation to YouTube's guitar channels to prove otherwise).
The Silver Snark 2 tuners are available now for a street price of around $20. Head to the Snark Tuners site for more information.

Whenever possible I like to animate my work, and practice using different tools in Illustrator. I also use photoshop to then animate it, I wanted to create a new character for my illustration series the Demi Gods.
She is one of a few I have in mind.
I mix my love of Japanese pop art style with my own and Demi Gods are really popular in manga and anime.
I created Fox girl because I love the word Kitsune in Japanese and I wanted to make something with it.
I normally start with a sketch on paper ,scan it and clean it up in photoshop. After that I open up illustrator.
I work with one layer only, so I use the locking option in Illustrator a lot.
My main tools are the pen, pathfinder, and pencil tools.
I use a Wacom Cintique 13" and the newest version of illustrator.
Normally i start with the flat colors and to lay out a foundation and this is where i look at my swatches and try to come up with a color combination that will look nice in a dark tone or light. In this case i knew i was making a dark scene so red and yellow still pop in that environment.
People liked it, I think because I show an animation of my piece , normally i make stand alone pieces.
So by adding just the slightest movement brings life to the character and sparks an interest in others.
When ever I want to animate a piece I learned to duplicate layers in illustrator and make the pieces i want to move with as little anchor points as possible that way when ever I create the frames for animation they aren't distorted too much. I animate in photoshop and have been learning more animation as I go along.
Enjoy, draw and practice, the more you showcase your work the more confident you will get , and just try something new.

Finnish Yarns and Design Since 1928
The Moomin x Novita yarn family comes with its own Moomin knitting pattern collection, published in two volumes. Both volumes are currently available in Finnish & Swedish.
The first volume "Moominmamma's warm accessories" was published in English in March 2019, to the great delight of all international Moomin fans!
The Moomin x Novita yarn family comes with its own Moomin knitting pattern collection. The DK weight yarn is made of 75 % wool and 25 % polyamide
Moomin patterns are inspired by fantastic illustrations of the books Who Will Comfort Toffle (1960) and The Book about Moomin, Mymble and Little My (1953).
You will find some of the patterns for free on our website but for true fans the bookazines are a must!
Novita was one of the official partners for #MEIDÄNMERI -campaing. To celebrate the campaign we published a new yarn, Novita Majakkasaari. For each ball of yarn sold, 0.10€ was donated to charity.
Year 2020 marked the 75th anniversary of the publication of the first Moomin story, "The Moomins and the Great Flood" set in the midst of a natural disaster. Moomin Characters celebrate the anniversary in the communal spirit of Moomin stories by focusing on the protection and well-being of the Baltic Sea. The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness of the state of the Baltic Sea and to raise funds for the work of the John Nurminen Foundation to protect and preserve the sea and its cultural heritage for future generations. Funding for the John Nurminen Foundation is raised through corporate donations and direct consumer donations, as well as campaign products. The target amount for collection has been set at one million euros. The campaign ran throughout the 2020 anniversary year.

Always check where you're taking a dump
Posted on
While I do have my own service stories I figured I'd relay this on told to me by a great man, we'll call him SSG Shawn.
So quick side note, I serve in the Navy so I'm not sure what the Army calls their watch standers so I'm just going to refer to them by our terms.
So as anyone who's been deployed knows, the camp has Roaming Watchstanders at night. What some may not know is that a Roamer will have to escort people to the latrine. This takes place during Desert Shield in Iraq. One night SSG Shawn is on duty as the Roamer, patrolling the camp. He sees a soldier step out of his tent, so naturally he finds out what this guy needs. Turns out it's a Sergeant and he needs to take a late night trip to the latrine, so SSG Shawn escorts him over.
SSG Shawn is standing by, waiting for the guy to be done so he can escort him back. It's dark, cool, and quiet. As he's waiting there he hears some rustling then "What the.. OH FUCK!" SSG Shawn turned in time to see this guy trying to haul ass with his pants around his ankles, trying to escape the wrath of a family of CAMEL SPIDERS! Apparently as this guy was getting settled in he accidentally kicked the web these things were building, and camel spiders aren't the nicest things to begin with.
SSG Shawn was able to deter these things from their prize of rump roast by chucking rocks at them. Eventually the Sergeant was able to carefully finish his business and SSG Shawn was able to get with his patrol, but he was definitely keeping an eye out in case the spiders decided to come back for revenge.
RIP Shawn you were an awesome person.

The lodge is VERY dated with neon lighting in the rooms, awkward bathroom layouts, and questionable furniture. If you plan to hit the state park for the outdoor activities, you'll have a blast. If for some strange reason, you plan on spending a lot of time in the room… stay somewhere else.The on site amenities are good. They have a lot of cheesy activities for the kids and games outside. There is a restaurant on site as well.If you end up with two twin beds, DO NOT move the beds together. The horror of what is under the beds will be burned into your memory.

How To Get There
Getting to Lake Murray from Oklahoma City is a breeze. Take I-35 South past the towns of Moore and Norman, and toward the city of Ardmore. Take Exit 24 and travel east a few miles to Lake Murray State Park. Highway 77S is the primary route that accesses all the lake sites and activities. It runs all the way around the lake, meeting up with Highway 70 on both the northwest and the northeast corners. The drive, scenic and interesting, is an attraction in and of itself.

Relaxing At The Beach
Lake Murray has several beaches which are great to relax or to go swimming. Since the water of the lake is very clean, swimming is a popular activity. Sunset beach, located on the east side of the lake, is considered one of the best beaches in the state park. Despite this reputation, it is often less crowded than beaches on the west side. This is mainly because it can only be visited as a day trip and there are no campgrounds around.
Near the Marina, you will find Marina beach, a beach with shallow areas to swim in. On the other hand Martins beach is a great option if you want a beach close to a campground. A last option is the Resort Lodge beach, which is a small beach section near the Resort Lodge. Lake Murray Watersports is also to be found here.

A lot of us are guilty of poor work/life balance, of checking Slack or catching up on emails when we should be enjoying our free time. I know I am – which is why this unorthodox solution from Heineken caught my attention.
It's a bottle opener, but no ordinary one. It's actually capable of shutting down your work devices like a laptop or a phone at the precise moment you use it to crack open a cold beer. It's called 'The Closer' (get it?), and you can see it in action in the short promotional film Heineken has released, below.
There is, shall we say, a wee bit of dramatic licence being employed in this video. The way the opener actually works is via a Bluetooth connection, so you'll need to pair it with your chosen devices in advance – there's no chance of going into an office and using it to shut down everyone's computer at exactly 4:59PM on a Friday, as the video implies.
There's a clever bit of engineering involved in the actual shut-off though. Essentially, the moment the opener touches a metal bottle cap, a circuit is completed, which allows the shut-off signal to be sent. Heineken sent an early sample of The Closer to tech and gadgets YouTuber Austin Evans, and you can see him try it out for himself on his channel. The way he giggles "It actually works!" is, I have to say, quite charming.
So it probably won't cure you of your Teams-checking compulsions, and it's not about to be used to shut down the New York Stock Exchange, but The Closer is a cute bit of branding from Heineken, and a solid reminder that we could all do with logging off and cracking a cold beer a bit more often.
The Closer is going to be officially unveiled at a tech-style launch event, hosted by comedian Billy Eichner, which is clearly designed to poke fun at the big product demos and events put on by the likes of Apple, such as Apple WWDC 2022, which is going on right now and you can follow at our Apple WWDC 2022 live blog. I rather suspect that the close timing of the two events was not coincidental.
If you're based in the US, you can also enter a draw to win a Closer of your own by heading to heineken.com/closer on June 8th, between 10 am and 11:59 pm Eastern Time. There will be more available to buy in coming months though, so don't worry if you miss out. And remember, until then, you can always shut off your laptop the old-fashioned way – check out our guide to the best laptops for graphic design if you're looking for a new laptop to decisively slam shut in the evenings.

Route Description for Granite Mountain Trail
The Granite Mountain Trail is definitely found near the top of our favorite Idaho hikes. While some shy away from rocky, exposed meadow-laden trails, we thrive on them. The uneven terrain keeps us engaged and alert, and the seasonal wildflowers that adorn the fields are an added bonus. While this trek isn't overly taxing, the exposed and steep terrain will tire you, so make sure to bring along plenty of water to stay hydrated along the way. Don't forget your camera, the scenery from the summit is quite photogenic.
Setting out from the Twin Lakes Trailhead, the Granite Mountain Hike follows the Granite Mountain Trail southwardly, climbing into the wilderness abundant with wildlife and wildflowers. Minding your footing on the rocky terrain, you will soon come to an intersection, keep left here, maintaining along the Granite Mountain Trail. Continue climbing, and you will eventually reach a campsite overlooking the Twin Lakes. From here, you begin your final push up to Granite Mountain through brush and rock gardens.
When you ultimately reach the summit of Granite Mountain, you will be rewarded with spellbinding scenery. Revel in the 360-degree panoramic views of the Idaho Mountains. Though tempting, the lookout tower is off-limits unless you are explicitly invited up by a ranger. When you are through indulging in the beautiful vistas, head back down the way you came to the trailhead.
Getting to the Granite Mountain Trail Trailhead
The Granite Mountain Hike departs from the Twin Lakes Trailhead off Goose Lake Road.
