5/9/2023 0 Comments Oregon tidal pools![]() “Normally, as the wind blows along the coast, it pushes surface water away from the coast because the earth is rotating,” Lubchenco explains. ![]() As ocean and land temperatures rise, wind patterns change, increasing the upwelling of nutrient-rich water and disrupting the ocean ecosystem. One example is the appearance of “dead zones” off the Oregon Coast. “The most likely explanation for why we're seeing this are changes that are related to climate change,” Lubchenco said. Those findings indicate that sea levels are rising and that the world’s oceans are becoming warmer and more acidic, and contain less oxygen. “There are very few places in the world that have the long-term data that we do.”ĭata collected here and at many other sites allow researchers like Lubchenco to explore why things are changing, as well as differentiate between those patterns that are just routine fluctuations and others that suggest something really abnormal is happening. “This place has been such a phenomenal laboratory,” Lubchenco said of the Oregon Coast. Here, nestled between the vivid, life-filled tide pools are a collection of small wire-mesh boxes and colored knobs that track environmental changes occurring at exact locations over time. It’s also where study sites that were set up during the couple’s early years at OSU are now providing important long-term data. The intertidal zone on this small point of land supplies the kids with the endless delights of chasing hermit crabs and feeling the squishy tentacles of anemones close around tiny fingers. ![]() On this day, Menge and Lubchenco were tide-pooling with their grandchildren near Cape Foulweather. Lubchenco and her husband, fellow-OSU marine ecologist Bruce Menge, moved to Oregon from the East Coast 40 years ago. “I’ve started focusing not just on discovering how ocean ecosystems work," she said, "but tracking how they're changing and thinking about how can we do a better job of managing our activities that are affecting the oceans that provide so many things that we want and need.” John Holdren and Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen about the PB Deepwater Horizon disaster, 2010.

Then Rubik kept twisting the cube until he realized something: There was no way back. That way the movement of the pieces was visible and trackable. Rubik decided to add 54 colourful stickers to the cube, with each side sporting a different colour - yellow, red, blue, orange, white and green. ![]() After several experiments, he figured out a unique design that contained an interesting paradox: It was a solid object that was also fluid. One day, he tried connecting eight wooden cubes together so they could move around and exchange places. He has described his bedroom as looking like the "inside of a child's pocket." It was littered with crayons, strings, sticks, various odds and ends - and lots of cubes. When Erno Rubik was 29, he was in his bedroom tinkering. He eventually became a professor and taught a class called "descriptive geometry" - where he encouraged students to use two-dimensional images to solve three dimensional problems. Years later, he studied architecture and became obsessed with geometric designs. He was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1944.Īs a young boy, Rubik liked to draw and sculpt. Erno Rubik was the inventor of Rubik's Cube. 5/9/2023 0 Comments Ultramixer pro entertain 6Less is more.ĭata based music archive - True data base for professional music management UltraMixer 6 provides a modern and intuitive designed user interface, that is without gimmicks on purpose.

And politicians wonder why citizens detest the rich nowadays. While the trademark hasn’t gone through yet, the company is using this as momentum in their recent case against Stoic’s game, which also uses the word “saga.” Their argument is that the name would cause confusion with their own game, despite the fact that Banner Saga is about vikings and Norse mythology, and not lining up candy pieces into sections ala Bejeweled.Īnd yet, this is actually a thing that is happening right now.Īpparently their recent victory over control of the word “candy” has gotten King to think that they can trademark whatever words they want, and use their millions of dollars to punish anyone who bats an eye at them, even if they’re not even in the line of fire. King has set forth an attempt to trademark the word “saga” which a number of their games use in their titles, including Candy Crush Saga. However, their most recent move, an attack on indie developer Stoic and their game The Banner Saga, just reeks of corporate bullshit. ORIGINAL: Developer of the popular Facebook game Candy Crush, King, recently filed a trademark for the word “candy,” essentially putting them control over a word that pretty much everyone uses in some form or another. However, like any prudent company, we need to take all appropriate steps to protect our IP, both now and in the future.” So, they’re essentially saying they’re not trying to be dicks, but are still acting likes dicks because why the hell not? Classy. We do not have any concerns that Banner Saga is trying build on our brand or our content. UPDATE: King has commented on the case, as reported on gamesindustry, saying that “King has not and is not trying to stop Banner Saga from using its name. 5/9/2023 0 Comments Max payne 3 xbox 360![]() But anyway, I also have to talk a little about multiplayer. They could really have putted a few minutes with him saying why he went were he went and what he is going to do from now on and out. My only complaint has to be the ending, I felt that it did not give enough closure and also that it was the shortest cut scene of all of the ones that was in the game. All the complains about that there is to much cut scenes and sh*t, makes me dissapointed, the Max Payne franchise is based on heavy usage of cut scenes and them dragging out for a bit, that's because of the BIG story they are trying to tell, and not some half baked COD story that makes no sense after the first few hour's. ![]() Graphics is nice, story is extremely well done and the gameplay is fun. I love this game, at first I was a little afraid of them going to a more sunny location and that max was bald and me thinking he was a drunk & depressed person, but BOY was I wrong when I got the game. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you aren't familiar with the series, I recommend playing the first two before diving into this incredible story, but if you have not tried this game: Do it. They did, however trade in the typical graphic novel style of cutscenes for a more traditional cutscene blended in with a few elements from the graphic novel styling that we have come to love. The story is a bit lengthy, but the length is more than acceptable and it doesn't lose you for a second. I know I did and probably more so than I have for almost any other video game character. Max has really lost it in the game and the player feels for him. There are quite a few vehicle levels to mix things up and there is even a cover system added in which I found to be more than useful when you can't pop into bullet time. Run around and shoot ever poor soul in sight while popping pain killers. Gameplay: It's your typical Max Payne game. The game just looks fantasticly gritty and full of colors that make Max's story just that more realistic. The world is full of life whether that be trucks and cars driving on the road or civilians scattering from a firefight. ![]() Words escape me how gorgeous this game is. This game does tell a lot of its tale in the form of flashbacks, but this only improves the main storyline. In classic Max Payne style, we see the end and then return to the beginning as Max is working in South America as a body guard. Max has let himself go and it will take his world falling apart to bring him back up. Max Payne 3 shows a much darker Max and for those of us who have guided him through the series, it is depressing. "The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had happened up to this point." Max Payne returns for his third game to "The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had happened up to this point." Max Payne returns for his third game to conclude his dark trilogy. 5/9/2023 0 Comments File shredder for macSecure 2-factor authentication for Remote Desktop login by OTP codes.Main Features of Rohos Logon Key application.Login Windows Seven by using a USB flash drive.Login Windows Remote Desktop in a secure way by USB key.Installing Rohos Logon Key, MSI command-line options.How two-factor authentication works in Rohos Logon Key.How to set up and use Rohos Logon Key Emergency Logon.Using electronic access keys in Rohos Disk.Rohos Disk Encryption and Rohos Mini Drive FAQ.Protect your Data by Steganography using Rohos Disk.How to access your encrypted partition on a guest PC in Windows 7.How does Rohos Disk differ from the similar disk encryption software?.How can I repair a Rohos Disk or Rohos Mini Drive.Comparison matrix Rohos Disk Encryption vs Rohos Mini Drive.How to set up USB flash drive for secure Windows or Mac OS login?.Click the OK button to confirm the chosen action.This can be another directory, USB flash drive, or virtual cipher disk made by the Rohos program Specify, if necessary, where the chosen files and directories are to be placed before destroying.Rohos Disk shredder window, where the chosen files list would be, will open.

Each level has 3 difficulty settings with the 2 harder ones requiring you to fight off more enemies and complete a secondary objective in each level. In effect this has little real purpose other than to act as setting – an unconscious nod to the narrative of titles like Doom perhaps. The story for the game is rudimentary, as you play an agent responsible for fighting the forces of darkness. Some of the levels can take 30 minutes or more until you know your way around, although there is clear potential to cut this time down significantly. Hopefully this will be patched out as it seems an unnecessary punishment for players who are not able or willing to play the whole game in one sitting. Unless you continue playing through the game in the same session, however, these added hearts disappear and you start each level with three once again. Your health is represented by on-screen hearts, with hidden powerups adding to your total when found. This makes the levels feel unconnected to each other and takes away any true sense of progress – as well as making much of the ammunition collected completely unnecessary. These weapons are unlocked anew in each level so you start every time with just your pistol and sword. The different guns on offer are familiar types too, with a revolver, a shotgun, a rifle and a chaingun. Melee combat is quite simplistic, however, and is mainly there as a last resort aside from a couple of narrative moments. You are also equipped with a sentient sword who helps to deliver the exposition and is required to close the portals in each level through which the undead and demons are entering the world. Gameplay is pretty predictable stuff, with the focus on gunplay and landing headshots. Tinkering with the filters was far more effective than either cranking up the gamma or messing with my monitor’s settings. This is particularly useful as my monitor setup was perhaps too heavy on the blacks and everything was cloaked in shadow. While the default colour scheme is strictly black and white (with red for gore) there are numerous alternative filters available through the game’s menu. Taking such a monochromatic approach to a genre so often filled with colour (albeit sometimes mainly browns and reds) gives everything a totally new feel, and goes a long way to paper over some performance and pacing issues. The pen and ink style graphics of Kingdom of the Dead are its most obvious unique selling point. Kingdom of the Dead certainly delivers on that front, with the one person developer Dirigo Games creating a title with a genuine blend of familiar FPS gameplay and novel graphics. I’m a sucker for a unique and distinctive artstyle and will often put up with all sorts of niggles and gameplay issues if the aesthetic of a game appeals. One of the clearest ways in which a title can differentiate itself is through the setting and graphical style chosen. Some of these attempts aim for as authentic a retro feel as possible whilst others branch out to create an entirely new experience. A generation of designers who grew up playing Doom and Quake are channelling their nostalgia into new takes on the classic format. Old school shooters are certainly in vogue at the moment. 5/9/2023 0 Comments Perry the platypus voice actorStar Wars Resistance ( 1 episode) as First Order Comm Officer / Glem / Grevel (voice) LEGO DC Super Heroes - Aquaman: Rage Of Atlantis as Arthur Curry / Aquaman (voice) / Dex-Starr (voice) / Fishy (voice) Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts as Tippy Toe / Lockjaw (voice) Roberto / Domingo (voice) ( 1 episode) as Mictlantecuhtli (voice) ( 1 episode) as Monster (voice) ( 2 episodes) as Cammy (voice) ( 1 episode) as Baby Pepito (voice) ( 1 episode) as Carmelita / Tzitzimime (voice) ( 1 episode) as Miguel (voice) ( 1 episode) as Baby Camazotz (voice) ( 1 episode) as Pete (voice) ( 1 episode) as Nagual (voice) ( 1 episode) as Camazotz / Big Camazotz ( 5 episodes) as Tzitzimime (voice) ( 1 episode) as Black Cadejo / White Cadejo (voice) ( 8 episodes) as Additional Voices (voice) Victor and Valentino ( 1 episode) as Tzitzimime / Quetzalcoatl (voice) ( 1 episode) as Ahuizotl / Sr. Marvel Rising: Heart of Iron as Lockjaw/ Tippy-Toe (voice) Infinity Train ( 3 episodes) as Monster Atticus (voice) ( 2 episodes) as Ghoms (voice)Īmphibia ( 1 episode) as Archie (voice) ( 5 episodes) as Bessie (voice) Shimmer and Shine: Legend of the Dragon Treasure as Nazboo, Zahrora, Zoomdust, Xantara, Xola, Xylia, Xerxes, Dragonĭora and the Lost City of Gold as Animal Vocalizations (voice) Marvel Rising: Battle of the Bands as Tippy-Toe Marvel Rising: Operation Shuri as Tippy-Toe (voice) Green Eggs and Ham ( 13 episodes) as Chickeraffe (voice) ( 2 episodes) as Dolphacuda (voice) ( 1 episode) as Camelope (voice) The Mandalorian ( 1 episode) as Voice Performer - Frog Lady (voice) Marvel Rising: Playing with Fire as Lockjaw / Tippy-Toe (voice) The Owl House ( 7 episodes) as Additional Voices (voice) ![]() LEGO DC: Shazam!
