![]() Often you will only find one half which we call the shell. Mussels, Clams, Wedge, Cockles to name just a few. There are so many variations to be found of just these types which you will see clearly how a spiral is the home of the mollusc that created it.Īlso look for the bivalve shells. Seashells – I mean where to start? (just on UK is a good idea) Whelks and Periwinkles, Top shells, Limpets. That is the concise explanation! and enough to keep us in awe and wonder as the myriad of spirals in nature there are to be found Spirals in the Shells The angle of the the growth is commonly know as the Golden Angle which is the ratio between the Fibonacci sequence of numbers. Its a simple nature craft that encourages the observations skills and involves the hands and the eyes.Ĭlose up of a tansy flower showing interconnected spirals in natureĪgain this area can be looked at with our Fibonacci goggles on if you want. The brief explanation would be the cells that grow in the tip of the shoot do so in a helical (Helix) spiral pattern as it happens to be the most efficient way to pack the ever growing/moving cells. I often run a workshop with The Smart Happy club where we paint in the spiral onto the pine cones. Also at the other end of the flower cycle the seed formation often clearly presents a multitude of interconnected spirals. Spirals in Nature’s seedsįlowers often display a spiral pattern. Although appearing to be an insignificant part of the plant, this is an example of a helix when in use. These tiny delicate spirals are the pistils (i think!) that are part of the reproductive ovary of the Magnolia plant These spirals in nature are the tendrils of pea plant. Often called a fiddle fern because of the resemblance to a violin scroll, there are so many fern types to see. There is nothing more glorious than seeing those young ferns unfurl in early spring. You can clearly see the spiral as a flat curve in ferns, but also as a 3D spiral in petals as they unfurl around the flower bud. ![]() Plant forms have both types of spirals that we observe. There are many fossil types but the Ammonite fossil is the spiral we are looking for and easily found along this stretch of this Jurassic coast in the UK both in calcite and pyrite forms its definitely worth a day trip. ![]() What the tourist industry along the UK’s Dorset coastline is built on – Fossils. Here you are looking for the flat curve spiral.

The extinction coefficient is a physical constant unique to the molecule it describes its property of absorbing light at a specific wavelength. Then there is the extinction coefficient (Ɛ). Altogether, three parameters contribute to the absorbance value of a sample: first, the concentration (C) of the molecule second, the path length (L) of the sample, which generally equals the path length of the cuvette. The Lambert-Beer law, which forms the physical basis for photometric applications, describes that the absorption of light by a sample is directly proportional to its concentration and its path length. In order to derive the concentration of a sample from its absorbance, additional information is required. In this way, absorbance is proportional to concentration (as well as path length), which simplifies calculations considerably.Ĭalculation of concentration (C = A/(L x Ɛ)) If the values are instead expressed in a logarithmic fashion, a linear dependency will result. If several samples, which each allow 50 % of the light which enters the sample to traverse, are connected in series, the exponentially declining transmission curve, depicted below, will result. Figure 2 clarifies the connection between transmission and absorbance. The question arises why transmission is not directly used for the calculation of sample concentration. Modern photometers automatically convert the transmission of a sample into absorbance, which is defined as the negative decadic logarithm of transmission. The ratio I/I 0 describes the transmission of the sample at a defined wavelength.Ĭalculation of absorbance (A = log (I 0/I) The portion which traverses the sample is registered by the detector as intensity I. A portion of the light will be absorbed by the sample. The light source of a photometer emits light at a defined intensity I 0, which is guided through the sample solution. Naturally, a number of other components are present specifically, optical elements which refract the light and separate it into individual wavelengths as well as elements which reflect or transmit the light. The detector measures the intensity of the light that travels through the sample. These three statements are described in more detail below.ĭetermination of transmission (T = I/I 0)īasically, a photometer consists of a light source, a position which holds the sample, and a detector (figure 1). Sample concentration is then calculated by converting the formula. The Lambert-Beer law describes the dependence of the absorbance on the concentration of the sample (C), the optical path length (L) as well as the dependence on a sample-specific extinction coefficient (Ɛ), which pertains to a specific substance at a specific wavelength. Absorbance (A) = C x L x Ɛ => Concentration (C) = A/(L x Ɛ). ![]() Transmission is determined in a photometer, using the ratio between the light which exits and the light which enters the sample.Ībsorbance is calculated from the negative decadic logarithm of transmission. Transmission or transmittance (T) = I/I 0.This occurs according to the steps of the formulae listed below: The laws of physics described by the Lambert-Beer law form the basis for the calculation of the concentration of a substance from photometric measurements. In the case of nucleic acids and proteins, for example, this would be 260 nm and 280 nm, respectively. ![]() In order to determine the concentration of an analyte, most often the wavelength is utilized at which the molecule displays the highest absorbance (peak wavelength). As implied in the name, UV/Vis spectrophotometers utilize visible and ultraviolet light in the wavelength range between approximately 200 and 900 nm. In general, (spectro)-photometric methods are based on the principle that molecules in solution absorb light, and that the thus weakened light is measured with the help of a detector. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, if I convert to RGBA, and set GifImagePlugin.LOADING_STRATEGY as you mentioned in the sample code, then sample 2 does NOT lose quality and get quantized, however sample 1 DOES. Overall, I will need to convert all frames into RGBA, in no matter what case, even if I don't paste unto an empty image. Unfortunately I'm not able to recreate the issue, it didn't happen with all gifs, and it's been a few months back, when I worked on this project and solved it this way. Would you consider if more helpful to talk about this instead? If you wanted to post an image and example code? However I was not able to make it work in my main project (where Main Code, import functions, and export functions are in separate scripts), no matter if I added the line to all the scripts or only the import script. Let us know if that isn't sufficient for your situation.Īdding this loading strategy in the beginning of the sample code snippet I created worked to solve the first sample issue. GifImagePlugin.LOADING_STRATEGY = _AFTER_DIFFERENT_PALETTE_ONLYĪt the start of your code resolves the matter. How can I stop and control the quality loss in both of these cases? Why is this happening? Is this a potential bug? Running convert('P') on every PIL frame image did not solve the issue. I also attach the sample images and python scripts above here so anyone can recreate the issue: ![]() #Add Alpha Channel to all gifs in order to avoid erroneous first frames: for x in range( 0, len( ExportFrames)):ĮxportFrames = CreateFrameWithAlphaValue( ExportFrames, ExportFrames.

Member of the Red Cliff Tribe of Wisconsin Ojibwe Independent writer and photographer. It was meant for us to forget our dances and our ceremonies and our language. According to researchers, high rates of addiction, suicide, mental illness, sexual violence and other ills among Native peoples might be, at least in part, influenced by historical trauma. And they were meant for us to forget our songs. have been reckoning with the legacy of assimilationist boarding schools for years. 24, 2021, and Death by Civilization, Mar. intergenerational trauma of the boarding school era through the recently founded Boarding School Healing Project. So, these were - these are moments that were so painful for our family.

She tried to sing her song, but grandfather would say: "Don't sing. And I couldn't understand why.īut my father shared with me that grandmother cried. That - for me to take a class, a Lushootseed class from my tribe, I sat there and cried. Historical trauma, therefore, can be seen as a contributing cause in the development of illnesses such as PTSD, depression and type 2 diabetes. We wanted to - we want to speak our languages.īut for our children and our grandparents, that was beaten out of them. According to Bitsoi, epigenetics is beginning to uncover scientific proof that intergenerational trauma is real. ![]() The goal was kill the Indian, save the man.Īnd so, for so many of us growing up in the United States, all we wanted to be was the very best self that we could be. It's just time that we support tribal nations and indigenous peoples, who are continuing to suffer.Īnd we suffer because, when our children attend these schools, they're not taught this language.

The hope is that we come together as a nation to not only tell of these truths, but also to begin to heal together. ![]() ![]() Smaller game only have major organs like brain, heart and lungs. Shit placement is accurate with larger animals models with full bones, organs and larger blood vessels. The other hand, if you spook them, they don't run all the way out of render distance like CotW but calm down after a short time, if not spooked again. Sometimes animals seem way too sensitive. ![]() Some things are not very realistic, like the static tracks (animals leave no dynamic tracks while moving but tracks are used to find need zones). Haven't played The Hunter Classic for ages, so no clue how that game has aged. Animal behaviour can sometimes bug out (like ducks flying in circles when spooked) but overall it's rather good. Haven't had any gamebreaking bugs in a while. You could get 10 animals with COTW in that time with a bit of fast travel WOTH can sometimes feel like shooting an animal every 15 minutes if you're quick. it's more of an arcade hunting game where you don't have to think too much and you can shoot loads of animals in a play session. If you're looking for something a bit easier with far more content, grab call of the wild. the raw hunting experience is second to none and top class. Overall I'd say this game is the best hunting simulator you can buy at the moment. COTW has around 14 maps or something I can't remember. The game lacks a lot of content compared to something like COTW - there are only 4 maps and 15 or so guns/bows/crossbows. The game performance is mostly fixed, but without a high end system, you won't be able to bump graphics up all the way (I have a 3070ti and can run max graphics, but choose to run High graphics instead so I can have a smooth 80fps experience instead of a 60fps experience with it on ultra - the game still looks and feels amazing tho) If you struggle with patience, the game will be hard to enjoy - it's a lot slower paced that COTW This can mostly be resolved with a few engine.ini tweaks - there are loads on this subreddit. Running the game at 1080p can have a graining effect and distant objects can feel like they're oil-painted. The task challenges are fun too - really makes you think about the hunt and how to achieve the the goal. There's a storyline too, which is excellently voice-acted, some stories featuring comics and music. ![]() The missions are really challenging and fun. The guns and equipment is all licenced and true to life. Some parts of the game look photorealistic. ![]() The ambience is brilliant - the LOD is incredible and the sense of scale is huge. Instead, you have to nurture the herds that have high fitness, and patiently wait for animals to grow up and get bigger and become 5 stars - the map is constantly evolving and changing. This system stops things like killing everything on the map to spawn new animals that have a higher score. The animal scores are based on 1 star to 5 star, where 1 star mature animals correlate to low fitness (no chance to get older and become bigger trophy) where the 5 stars have high fightness scores (85% -100% based on species). The animals spawn randomly the first time you load in the game, susequent spawns will yield low age animals. Even Alaska map is bigger than COTW's maps (if you have played that game). Alaska is around 64km squared and Africa is slightly bigger around 75km squared. You could easily spent 100 hours on both those maps. All three are massive in size with Nez Perce Valley (USA) and Transilvania (Romania) being 100km squared in size. 4 maps - US, US Alaska, South Africa and Romania (Europe). ![]() As a casual, playing on Hiker will not give you a challenge, but a fun casual experience that everyone can enjoy. BUT, there are difficulty options, Hiker mode makes the game more casual and something that all people can enjoy - animals spook and run away at more like 100 to 150 metres - well within shooting range for your rifle. The animals have incredible hearing and sight, and they can spook and run away from you at 250-300 metres if you're not crouching. There are a few cons that can turn cotw players away, or people new to hunting will not like so I'll list them all for you.Įssentially the game is a hunting 'simulator'. Imho - bottom line: Yes, I recommend this game. ![]() ![]() ![]() While playing the game, controls can be handled with the keyboard and mouse. ![]() With this application, you can easily run popular Android games on your desktop computer. ![]() While there are plenty of emulators like Project64, Tencent Gaming Buddy is a free Android emulator, specifically designed and optimized for PUBG. However, the company has since launched a new battle royale game called Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) in India, which has been met with positive reviews. The ban on PUBG Mobile was a major blow for Tencent Games, as India is one of the largest markets for mobile gaming. By taking over publishing responsibilities, PUBG Corporation could ensure that the game complies with Indian data privacy laws and that it does not pose any security risks. PUBG Corporation's decision to terminate its partnership with Tencent Games was likely motivated by a desire to regain control of the PUBG Mobile franchise in India and to address the concerns raised by the Indian government. Additionally, there were concerns about the game's addictive nature and its potential impact on children. One concern was that the game was collecting and sending data to servers located in China, which could be used for surveillance or other nefarious purposes. There were several reasons for the Indian government's decision to ban PUBG Mobile. As a result of this ban, PUBG Corporation decided to terminate its partnership with Tencent Games and take over publishing responsibilities for PUBG Mobile in India. In 2020, the Indian government banned PUBG Mobile, citing security concerns and data privacy issues. However, the mobile version of the game, PUBG Mobile, was published by Tencent Games, a Chinese company. PUBG was originally published by PUBG Corporation, a South Korean company, and developed by Bluehole Studio. So, Tencent Gaming Buddy and GameLoop are essentially the same thing they are both just different names for the same Android emulator. In 2019, Tencent rebranded Tencent Gaming Buddy to GameLoop, and the name has been used consistently since then. Tencent Gaming Buddy was the original name of GameLoop, an Android emulator developed by Tencent specifically for running Android games on PC. Is Tencent Gaming Buddy and GameLoop same?

Now his mind is bent on revenge, and his goal is clear. ![]() After an unsuccessful molesting attempt, the protagonist gets arrested. He is a young man from a rich and powerful family, who likes spending his time molesting pretty girls on trains and in other public places. Create and play up to 25 students of varying gender, orientation with interaction abilities and personal inclinations. This game casts the player into the role of a Japanese sex maniac. ![]() Claiming that “he Race War has begun,” the game’s website says “our skin is your uniform in this battle for the survival of your kind,” that “he White Race depends on you to secure its existence,” and that “our peoples enemies surround you in a sea of decay and filth that they have brought to your once clean and White nation. Artificial Academy 2 is an eroge high school social simulation, sequel of Artificial Academy. Events in RapeLay range from groping on a train to gang rape and forced abortions. The Scoop: Resistance: Ethnic Cleansing By: Resistance Records From: Resistance Records For: PCįrom nuanced back to nauseating, Resistance: Ethnic Cleansing was a crudely wrought 2002 first-person shooter by neo-Nazis, for neo-Nazis. Released PC The infamous RapeLay is a molestation simulation that allows you to terrorize a woman and her two teenage daughters. It was met with media outrage, but found partial validity in thoughtful critiques by games theorists like Ian Bogost: “This game is not fun, it is challenging, and difficult to play–not technically difficult, but conceptually difficult,” opined Bogost, adding “We need more of that.” Once they are fully broken, the girl will no longer resist your requests during training mode.Super Columbine Massacre RPG! lets players reenact the Columbine student massacre playing as students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, though with a significant op-ed twist. During the first scene, the unsuspecting target waits in. In this training mode you can “break” each of the three women in nine different ways. When you first play through RapeLay, each girl is presented one at a time in a three-scene series. After the player completes the initial storyline mode, the player gets to rape them in any situation of his choosing this is the source of the enhanced replay value in RapeLay (and also the source of the pun in its name). He forces her to go with him to a hotel – owned by his father – after coercing her with photos taken of her mother, then ties her up and rapes her. Aoi is Masaya’s final target, the girl who had him turned in to the police. His next target is Yuuko, the mother of the two girls, whom he rapes in a secluded park. Once again, your job is to molest her into an orgasm on the train.

Putting plans into motion, his first victim is Manaka, Aoi’s younger sister he rapes her in a public bathroom. Manaka follows your instructions and plays sick. Tailing her, he discovers that she lives with her sister and their widowed mother. Freed after only a day by his influential father, Masaya plans to exact his revenge on the girl. One day, a high school girl named Kiryuu Aoi has Masaya arrested for molesting her. The player plays as Kimura Masaya, a chikan – a pervert – who frequently fondles women in crowded subway trains. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Spanish language version, the opening contains no vocals, just a man reading the names of the kids in a Latin American accent.
