Cull hummings property7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Glomalin can last over 40 years, but the slow depletion of the thing that stores most soil carbon, and does most of the heavy lifting in soil structure – well, that depletion starts in earnest the moment soil is dug. Now, glomalin was invisible to science until about 25 years ago, partly because it is so stable. Much of what we’ve done, historically, is about killing, not letting things thrive. Slice through them, and soil structure is broken. These hyphae are the source of glomalin, that magical superglue of soil. But – and this is the kicker – you also cut the hyphal threads, those long, invisible strands of fungal matter that provide all that underground connectivity in terms of nutrients and communication. Cut open soil, and you release a whole bunch of stored carbon and nitrogen from the rotting vegetable matter as well. When they die, they release carbon, which isn’t replaced in the soil by other living microbes, at least in the short term. Firstly, when you expose this microbial community to the air, lots of them die. Just like a city, a rebuilt one may differ in lots of ways.īut a few things happen in the interim. It can be rebuilt, but it may never be the same. All those bacteria, protists, nematodes, archaea, algae and fungi, as well as the bigger life, the springtails, rotifers and worms, their home is ruined. Ploughing, we now know, sabotages something far more delicate – those things invisible to the naked eye.Įvery time you plough a field, or dig over your garden, it’s not just the visible soil that’s in trouble, but the soil ecosystem. Once exposed, soil is too readily washed and blown away, or carried downhill.īut worse than this. Digging helps promote loss of the sand, silt and clay that make up over 95 per cent of soil. There’s also colluvial erosion, where loose soil moves downhill due to the action of gravity. Wind and water erosion take hold on the ground laid bare by the plough. We’re losing soil, on a global scale, on ploughed land, about 100 times faster than it can be made, according to the International Panel on Climate Change’s 2019 Land Use Report. To understand the damage, we’ll have to consider many things.įirst is the physical. But just how much damage is now becoming clear. In the end the committee backed council staff who said that Kates Way did not fit within the council's naming policy, as Kate Sheppard did not have an association with the area.We’ve known for aeons that ploughing land can cause damage. The merits of the name Kates Way had prompted disagreement among councillors, some saying people would not make the connection to Kate Sheppard without the inclusion of a last name.Ĭrs Andrew Noone and and Mike Lord felt the street should be able to be named Kates Way.Īt one point, committee chairwoman Kate Wilson joked she would have to remove herself from the debate.Ĭr Neville Peat, who confessed to being a pedant, felt the lack of apostrophe would further contribute to a proliferation of poor punctation. It was frustrating that such ''trivial'' matters had to be discussed at a standing committee meeting.Ĭr John Bezett also welcomed the review, saying he was sick of the ''silly debate'' that happened every time street naming was discussed. Mr Cummings argued naming the street Kates Way would recognise suffragist movement leader Kate Sheppard.ĭunedin Mayor Dave Cull said it was pleasing the bylaw on street names was being reviewed, but the important thing was that future decisions be left to staff. In the end, developer Pat Cummings did not get his way, with councillors voting in favour of a staff recommendation to name the street Kew Place instead. The concern over the amount of time spent on the issue was raised during a debate at Tuesday's infrastructure services committee over whether a street in a subdivision should be called Kates Way. Dunedin City councillors are sick of spending their time on a ''silly debate'' over street names. ![]()

Indesign data merge catalog7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Now, I don't have the whole path name and that's because where this lives, I have the CSV file that I'm going to create from this worksheet here sitting in the same folder as all the photos. ![]() So then what I did is I just have the name of the file. And so it let's it know that that is an actual at. So if it yells at you if you put at and it tells you you can't do it, you might need to put an apostrophe before that and that's actually what I have. And this is where it gets a little tricky, the header needs to be called at photos but, and I am not sure if they've fixed this, it seemed to be improved, but long ago you used to have to, at least on the Mac, put an apostrophe before the at because Excel uses at as a special function. I have their title, I have a quote that I wanted them to put in the little annual report here, and then I also have a list of photos. So I have this spreadsheet and I have names, so everybody's name that's there. ![]() So I just wanted to look at what we have in this file itself. And again, if you don't have Excel that's alright because a lot of times you're just given this Excel file or what we really wanna end up with is a CSV file which we'll do in a second. We can go back to the finder and I started with this Excel file. So let's actually look at what we're starting with. I accidentally linked my CSV file and now it keeps looking for it. So I need to go into my blank one, which I don't have anything for. And what I wanna do is I wanna be able to lay one out and have it populate with all the other ones that are here. This is what I'm going to try to end up with here. And let's actually look at what I am going to create. So we're going to use data merge for that. So think of like if you had an Excel file that has all your part numbers in it, so all your parts, all your part numbers, all the descriptions, maybe the price, and also photos for that and you want it to automatically create a layout for you on the fly, we can do that. But it is what it is, we're merging data and what I'm going to do is I'm going to take data that I have in an Excel file and I'm gonna use that to help automate my layout. The next thing we're gonna go over is data merge which sounds boring, again, sometimes I think we just need to come up with our own naming on some of these operations that we do. ![]()

So as the show prepares to make a comeback, what are we about to let ourselves in for watching? ![]() Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie, plus their ever-iconic momager Kris have ushered in a new era with their new Hulu/Disney+ series (which is kind of similar to their original series Keeping Up with The Kardashians, with a few minor tweaks).īut with that comes some of the best and worst times of being a Kardashian, with engagements, new babies and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities overshadowed by cheating, divorces and Kris Jenner releasing a Christmas single with Blink-182's Travis Barker (seriously. ![]() It seems like only yesterday that The Kardashiansreturned to our screens with their brand-new reality show, but things move pretty quickly in their world and season two is now broadcasting.Īnd it couldn't come too soon either, considering the amount that has been going on with the reality show OGs over the past few months. ![]()

Private internet access reviews7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() There are graphical clients for Windows, Linux and macOS, and detailed instructions are provided for setting up connections on other operating systems and devices. Features include kill switch and ad-tracker blockers.PIA offers plenty of security and advanced settings, support for less common operating systems such as Linux, and guidance on using the service with your router and other network appliances. PIA also publishes bi-annual transparency reports, which, as of February 2022, inform us that the firm has received nine court orders, six subpoenas and six warrants, and handed over logs for none of them (because it doesn’t keep logs). However, since PIA hasn’t been publicly dragged into court since it was bought by Kape Technologies, we don’t have proof that it has continued its no-logging policy under new ownership, although I have no reason to suspect that anything would change here. When served with an FBI warrant to hand over VPN logs, PIA didn’t have anything to give investigators, making it one of the few VPN providers whose no-logging claim is known to have been tested. ![]() The US doesn’t currently have any mandatory data retention laws in place and encrypted traffic passing through a VPN isn’t accessible to logging devices in data centres.

Tetra fish7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() This is especially true if you want to keep an even larger group. Here are the main care guidelines to follow! Tank Sizeįirst things first, you need a spacious tank if you want to keep these fish! For a group of 12 bucktooth tetras, we recommend using a tank that can hold no less than 55 gallons.Īuthor Note: Of course, a bigger tank is always better. ![]() But with a bit of know-how and dedication, caring for these fish should be manageable. To be honest, they can be a bit of a challenge regardless of your experience levels. These are truly extraordinary fish with some very distinct behaviors and needs! Bucktooth Tetra Careīucktooth tetra care is usually best reserved for aquarists with a bit of experience. Even with massive tanks and elaborate feeding strategies, this freshwater species always seems to remain smaller when kept in an aquarium. However, they can reach up to six inches in length in the wild!Īuthor Note: Many aquarists have tried their best to get bucktooth tetras to reach the six inch mark in captivity, but it rarely works out. The average size of a bucktooth tetra is around four to five inches when kept in captivity. Without quality care, these fish could suffer from disease and early death. Like any other fish, bucktooth tetras need a well-maintained environment and an appropriate diet to reach their maximum life expectancy. That’s pretty much on par with other tetra species. The lifespan of a healthy bucktooth tetra can reach upwards of 10 years. As menacing as this sounds, it’s actually quite hard to see their teeth unless you look carefully up close. The teeth and lips are positioned to be outward-facing, which further enables them to do damage and bite other fish. They can easily get underneath tough scales to rip them out! To help with the fish’s scale-eating habits, the teeth are pointed and quite sharp. However, their teeth are still quite unique. Meanwhile, flecks of brighter yellow add a pop of color on the tail!ĭespite their creative name, these freshwater fish do not have protruding teeth. ![]() Red and orange splotches cover the dorsal, pectoral, and anal fins. The fins are transparent with a hint of yellow. One is in the middle of the body and the other is on the base of the tail. However, the silver is adorned with hints of yellow, green, and red. They’re small, torpedo-shaped, and quite colorful! The bucktooth tetra is similar in appearance to other types of tetra species. Revered for their beauty and ferocious nature, they are considered a must-have for many aquarists! Appearance While not as popular as their peaceful cousins, this species is still readily available in the aquarium trade. Groups will swarm fish and rip their scales off bit by bit!īucktooth tetras are naturally found throughout Brazil and Guyana. They are one of several scale-eating species from the Amazon River Basin. While the bucktooth tetra is part of the tetra family, it’s nothing like the peaceful community fish most familiar with! Scientifically known as Exodon paradoxus, this freshwater fish is predatory and wildly aggressive.īest for seasoned aquarists, the bucktooth tetra can be violent towards any other fish in the vicinity. This guide will teach you how to handle their feisty nature, and get prepared for all other aspects of bucktooth tetra care. These are not your typical tetra!īut their high level of aggression is something you need to be aware of before you even consider owning some for yourself. Bucktooth tetras are a unique and active freshwater fish that definitely stand out. ![]()

Apple front row replacement7/31/2023 ![]() It can be a tad daunting to try to sign up to Mastodon. Mastodon’s feed is chronological, unlike Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or Twitter, which all use algorithms to get people to spend as much time on a site as possible. There are no ads as Mastodon is funded by donations, grants and other means. Rather, it’s made up of a network of servers, each run independently but able to connect so people on different servers can communicate. That means it’s not owned by a single company or billionaire. Mastodon is a decentralized social network. It shares some similarities with Twitter, but there are some big differences - and not just that its version of tweets are officially called “toots.” ![]() Sharing a name with an extinct mammal resembling an elephant, Mastodon has emerged as a frontrunner among those curious about life beyond the blue bird. (Oh, and if you are leaving Twitter and want to preserve your tweet history, you can download it by going to your profile settings and clicking on “your account” then “download an archive of your data.”) MASTODON ![]() While it’s not clear if the drama is causing many users to leave - in fact, having a front-row seat to the chaos may prove entertaining to some - lesser-known sites Mastodon and even Tumblr are emerging as new (or renewed) alternatives.

This book club highlights older books that are listed as “must-reads” and are chosen (or resurrected) to celebrate the birthdays of their authors. Please note, only fines will be waived and not the replacement costs of lost or damaged items.Ī new book club, The Reading Trap, will meet at the Roaring Rivers Vineyard in Traphill every first Thursday in the evening.

Brave earth greenlight7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Your skills can also affect the environment itself so, for example, ice spells can hurt enemies, but they can also freeze water to make a path across a lake and hammers can destroy obstacles which other weapons can’t. There are puzzles to solve and environmental hazards to avoid (or use to your advantage) alongside fast and brutal fights. Rather than going from one mission to the next like in most tactical games, you have a town hub and a large, procedurally generated dungeon to explore. As the name implies, this is a turn-based tactical game, but it comes with a few twists. ![]() I can’t wait for you all to experience it.This game very recently came out on itch.io on May 8th ( itch.io Page) and it’s currently trying to get enough votes on Greenlight. This game is a masterpiece of 8-bit era game design and it vastly raises the bar in my eyes as a gamer. I couldn’t be more proud to work with a talented developer like Kayin. To find that depth of setting in a game with so much attention paid to the gameplay balance is impressive to say the least. While level-based rather than open world, BEP still gave me a powerful sense of progress, journey and adventure. It’s remarkable that the game also leads the player along a logical path through the game’s world, with three totally different playable characters, no less. This is not a game meant to trick you cleverly, but rather to masterfully utilize a comprehensive understanding of what makes for a satisfying challenge. In Brave Earth: Prologue, by contrast, traps and obstacles are laid bare before you. It was almost as much a commentary on game design in a meta sense as it was a clever arrangement of platforming puzzles. Traps spring up and invisible blocks bar your path, leading to your frequent death. I Wanna Be the Guy was a game that was completely designed around it. Kayin’s complete understanding of player psychology is as enviable as it is rare in game development. It doesn’t come as any surprise to me considering his previous work, but in no time at all I got the feeling that he was in my own head in a sense. The pixel art in BEP is excellent, but what I have found to stand out and amaze me in this game is the meticulous care that Kayin put into designing the encounters. I’ve said in other places how happy I am for pixel art to have made a come back with the independent development scene. I’m both pleased and proud to present Brave Earth: Prologue. This is Dan Stern from Dangen Entertainment. A more modern sensibility without playing like a modern take on a retro game.Īs George Lucas's Star Wars built upon and paid tribute Flash Gordon while establishing its own voice, I'm hoping Brave Earth can do the same. I've tried my best to both understand and then build upon one of my favorite eras in platformers to almost arrive at a uniquely different alternative reality. But the product I'm releasing is more than just emulation. The game was originally conceived to be a freeware "study" game for me - learning through emulation. The side project that was supposed to take a few months instead sprawled into a retail game that has taken several years to complete.īrave Earth wears its influences a bit. It feels like years since I first announced Brave Earth: Prologue. Tons of optional lore that does not distract from the core storyline or gameplay.A wonderfully composed VRC6 soundtrack by Necrophageon and with additional tracks by SK Ultra.Over a dozen richly detailed and lovingly crafted levels.Unique paths for each character, including original stages and unique paths through intersecting stages.Three playable characters with diverse abilities.While Trevor is slow in attacking with his giant sword, Verbanner, he excels at quick, evasive maneuvers. Trevor vos Cruz, Naomi's older brother and Master Hunter for The Church. ![]() Ambushed during the investigation of ancient ruins, Sinlen defends herself with a wide assortment of long range magic. Sinlen Rothschild, a powerful and mobile mage and Naomi's best friend. While not particularly mobile, Naomi has several special attacks to help her deal with various situations. ![]() She finds herself battling monsters and mercenaries in a struggle to stop a cult's powerful, demonic ritual. Naomi vos Cruz, the young, inexperienced knight who is sent on a simple courier mission that spirals out of control. Play through a story that spans three characters with their own unique paths and playstyles. Brave Earth: Prologue's beautiful, handcrafted levels are filled with meticulously placed challenges, aiming to engage players more than frustrate them. While heavily inspired by classic games such as Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden, Brave Earth: Prologue strikes its own balance between methodical, high risk gameplay and aggressive, fast-paced action. Brave Earth: Prologue is a challenging and engaging action platformer, made in the 8-bit style of the NES. ![]() |
