![]() ![]() The Romans arrived in southern Germany nearly 2,000 years ago, bringing with them a spa culture that has remained since the Roman emperor Caracalla and his army rested and soothed their battle wounds in the natural-spring waters at what later became Baden-Baden. Stretching west to the Rhine River and south into the Alpine foothills in Switzerland, this southwest corner of Baden-Württemberg (in the larger region known as Swabia) has one of Germany's most beautiful natural landscapes. Caption by Michael Carlowicz and Laura Rocchio.A wood so dense that the sun couldn't penetrate the thick pine trees-that's how the Black Forest- Schwarzwald in German-got its name. NASA Earth Observatory images created by Jesse Allen, using data provided by Chandra Giri, U.S. Australia has the third largest area of mangroves in the world (after Indonesia and Brazil), and approximately 6.4 percent of the world’s total mangrove area. Nearly a fifth of the coast of Australia is edged by mangroves. Of the remaining forests, nearly 70 percent are “in critical condition and seriously damaged,” reported Fadel Muhammad, Indonesia’s minister of fisheries and marine affairs. Yet those forests have been cut in half in the past three decades, shrinking from 4.2 million hectares in 1982 to 2 million in 2000. Indonesia (center of the second map) includes as many as 17,000 islands and nearly a quarter of the world's mangroves. Only 6.9 percent of mangrove forests are protected by law. The current extent of mangroves is probably half of what once existed. Giri and colleagues found 12.3 percent less area covered by mangroves than previously estimated by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Using digital image classification techniques, the research team compiled and analyzed more than 1,000 scenes from the Landsat series of satellites. ![]() Geological Survey and published recently in the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography. The effort to create the maps was led by Chandra Giri of the U.S. About 42 percent of the world’s mangroves are found in Asia, with 21 percent in Africa, 15 percent in North and Central America, 12 percent in Australia and the islands of Oceania, and 11 percent in South America. They are most often found straddling the equator between 25° North and South latitude. Such coastal forests can be found in 118 countries and territories, though nearly 75 percent of their area occurs in just 15 countries. ![]() ![]() These maps show the location and relative density of mangroves, which cover an estimated 137,760 square kilometers (53,190 square miles) of Earth’s surface. They are fertile nurseries for many marine species, and also serve as a first line of defense against hurricanes and tsunamis by dissipating wave and wind energy. Mangrove forests are typically made up of trees, shrubs, and palms that have adapted to the harsh conditions of high salinity, warm air and water temperatures, extreme tides, muddy, sediment-laden waters, and oxygen-depleted soils. Now, scientists have used satellite images to compile the most comprehensive map of mangroves worldwide, which should help in future efforts in monitoring and conservation. But ground-based evidence suggests these vital coastal forests have been strained in many regions because of harvesting for food, fuel, and medicine. Mangroves are among the most biologically important ecosystems on the planet, and a common feature of tropical and sub-tropical coastlines. ![]()

![]() ![]() When does Hytale come out? Or after 2024. Hypixel Studios said in the Summer 2022 Development Update that Hytale would not be ready to come out in 2023. The reason for the delay is that the company is making big changes to the game to make it work on different platforms and is rewriting the game’s engine from scratch. They said that everyone would be able to play Hytale in 2021.Ģ021 Delay: Hypixel Studios said in the Summer 2021 Development Update that Hytale wouldn’t come out until at least 2023, and it might take even longer. But after the trailer got a lot of attention and they saw how good the game could be, they chose to keep working on it and make it better. Volne FebruReasons for Hytale Release Date DelayĢ019 Delay: The highly anticipated game Hytale was first released by Hypixel Studios in 2018, with a release date of sometime in 2019. Me downloading hytale on its release date when im 73 years old /q5q0AZbTvP Many Twitter user posts memes related to the Hytale release date. That means Hytale won’t be out until at least 2024. In the Summer 2022 Development Update, the Hypixel Studios team said that Hytale won’t be ready until 2023. Hytale focuses on making a player-led game that users can customize and take charge of. Things are getting better with the equipment system, player creativity, minigames, and single-player material. It will work with both Windows and macOS. Riot Games’ money and tech are supposed to be ready in 2021. The game’s website calls it an RPG world where you can go on adventures and make your own things. ![]() ![]() When will Hytale be out?

This led to the creation of a methodology for developers to create an automated interface wrapper for SideFX Software’s Houdini Engine plugin for Autodesk Maya that easily allows for the user interface designs that have been created natively in Houdini to be used in Maya. You can run the Engine using either a Houdini license or a Houdini Engine license. While the plug-in connects Maya to the Engine, Houdini is needed to cook the results under the surface. ![]() So I though I would try Chat GPT as a learning/search tool, so my first ever question was a random one off the top of my head: 'Write in Houdini vex code a simulation that mimics clouds'. Download the Houdini Engine To access the Houdini Engine, download the Houdini installer which comes with the Maya plug-in. ![]() The limitations of an HDA used in the Houdini Engine Plugin in Maya as a tool that is intended to improve workflow can actually frustrate and confuse the user, ultimately causing more harm than good. I also read that the more you use chat GPT, the better it gets because it remembers what you had previously asked. Furthermore, because of the implementation of the HDA’s parameter display in Maya’s Attribute Editor when using the Houdini Engine Plugin, artists can easily be overloaded with too much information which can in turn hinder the workflow of any artists who are using the HDA. This hinders the workflow for developers, who have to design their Houdini Digi-tal Asset (HDA) tools around the limitations of the Houdini Engine plugin. However, the current limitations of the Houdini Engine plugin for Autodesk Maya often require developers to take extra steps when creating tools to speed up development using Houdini. This has led to the growing popularity of integrating procedural workflows such as those offered by SideFX Software’s Houdini FX into the already established de-velopment pipelines. hdanc into Maya 2018.4 and connected a curve into my HDA, there is no geo-output in the viewport visible. Game development studios are facing an ever-growing pressure to deliver quality content in greater quantities, making the automation of as many tasks as possible an important aspect of modern video game development.

Example file path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meiers Civilization VI\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\ġ.

Click "Browse" and on "Your Subscriptions"ģ. For this reason it is highly recommended to always unsubscribe from mods when troubleshooting to ensure they are not the cause of the issue to begin with. With the release of the latest update, many mods become incompatible with Civilization VI until their respective creators update them so these can easily cause issues when trying to play the game. The last one running Steam as adminisatrator doesnt seem to work for me - doesnt let me get to the Steam Store: I will report back if I get any more errors after doing these. Of the steps below reinstalling directx and vcredist are most interesting to me as I had already done the cache and dont have any mods. Just in case anyone else is experiencing these problems heres what the publishers mentioned I might try. I would like to know if the new patch that accompanies the release of the new expansion will fix any of these constant crashes please Firaxis? Its not unplayable but its not enjoyably stable either, and not very well built considering the price of the game I think. I've rechecked my files in Steam etc cant think what it can be but all these crashes are very disruptive to my enjoyment of this game. So yeah something is not right with this game at all. I dont experience this in Hearts of Iron 4 for example. ![]() You might expect this on a real time game not a turn based game. This game does seem extremely harsh on the GPU and CPU processors as well but there doesnt seem to be anything going on to cause this other than minor animations. I havent seen anything like this in any of the other games I own - far more graphically intensive games as well like Project Cars 2 which never crashes. All in all after around 50 hrs of play the game has crashed around 10-15 times in one of the above ways which is not that great. And other times it freezes when I try to exit the game back to the desktop at the end of my session and again only way to get out is a reboot after that. Other times I get the message saying I need to update my cards DX11 drivers (which is rubbish) after which I think it then crashes to the desktop, that can happen at any time. My Civ 6 game keeps freezing at random moments usually when I try to make one of my units move I think - the fan speeds up and the screen just freezes only way to get out is to reboot. ![]() ![]() ![]() It allows you to maximise physical contact with your child, which brings with it a number of benefits: In such cases, babywearing is the best option.Ĭomfort is not the only advantage of the baby carrier. At the same time, you can’t hold your baby for hours on end: your back would suffer, and your arms wouldn’t be free for a second. You can’t always use a pram or pushchair: in certain contexts, they would be too bulky and unwieldy. It is certainly a practical solution to carry your newborn baby with you, even when you are on the move. The baby wrap carrier is a useful tool in many ways. So why not consider buying a baby wrap carrier? Don’t be scared off by something that may seem difficult to use – with Koala Cuddle Band, you’ll have no problem! Advantages of the baby wrap carrier If you’re expecting a baby or have a newborn, you may be wondering what’s the best way to keep them close to you. While a female can breed annually, they tend to have only around 6 to 7 joeys across their average 12-15 year lifespan.įemales tend to live longer than males, and males are more susceptible to accidents near highways and areas of human habitation as they tend to move further away from their original habitat.Recently, more and more mothers and fathers are choosing to carry their newborns: babywearing is an ancient practice that is becoming popular again thanks to its many advantages. ![]() However, if the mother goes through a breeding season without giving birth to a new joey, they may stay with their parent for longer. They will stay close by to their mother for about another 6 months, until their new sibling appears out of the pouch. They will be fully off milk by the time they reach around their first year of age, though they will generally have left the pouch entirely before this. This pap prepares them for moving on to their leafy, solid diet once fully weaned.Įventually the koala will come out of the pouch and eat leaves while riding around on their mothers back. The young joey eats the pap and gets everything they need from it to provide them energy and the bacteria they need.įrom about 7 months (22 – 30 weeks) they will start to emerge from their pouch and move onto a diet of pap in addition to their milk. The mother then defecates, and once her normal bowel movement has passed, the runnier pap follows afterwards. In order to eat this ‘pap’, the young joey sticks its head out of their mothers pouch and will nuzzle their face against her bum. If she didn’t do this, the young joeys would never be able to digest and get enough nutrients from their very limited diet. More importantly it contains lots of the micro-organisms that the young joeys will need to prepare their stomachs to digest the leaves of the eucalyptus trees. ![]() This is runnier than their normal poop pellets, and contains lots of protein. It might sound disgusting, but the mother does this by preparing a special kind of faeces called ‘pap’. This is usually a few days or weeks after they are able to see – around 6 -7 months.īefore it moves on to the eucalyptus gum tree leaves though, the mothers prepare their your an intermediary diet to prepare them to be able to digest their mature diet. Once a koala is able to start investigating the world with its own eyes and ears, and their head poking out of the pouch, they can start to wean from their mothers milk onto a more mature diet. Koala Joeys Eat There Mothers Poop When Weaning ![]() ![]() In a general graph of MC, there can be any number of states and the transition probabilities are full described between all possible pair of states (a non-possible transition has transition probability of 0). In the original example “I go home”, the word “go” is a verb, so the above MC would predict that the word after “go” shoulod have 90% chance being a noun, which would correctly predict the POS tag of “home” because in this case “home” appears after “go”. When the current word is a verb, there is 90% chance that the next word is a noun, and 10% chance that the next word is still a verb.When the current word is a noun, there is 50% chance that the next word is a verb, and 50% chance that the next word is still a noun.In the simple (made-up) example below two just 2 states (tags): We can fit the POS tag as a state and use it model the state transition probability from one POS tag to another in sentense. ![]() Markov Chain (MC) is an important model used in speech recognition as well as POS tagging.

Milk Bar Pie is a nice alternative to fruit pies and Thanksgiving pies. The pie has been on the Milk Bar menu since the store’s opening so it seems like a good name change to me!

Bake the pie: The baking process can be finicky.Pour this liquid filling into the cookie crust and bake. This can be mixed together with a whisk by hand or by using the whisk attachment for your stand mixer. Prepare the filling: The filling is a mixture of sugar, milk powder, egg yolk, heavy cream, butter and vanilla.The crust is the perfect cookie consistency to hold the gooey buttery filling. At this stage, it’s hard not to break off a piece of cookie for yourself! Mix the crumbs with butter and brown sugar, then press the mixture into a pie dish for the crust.

Potassium chromate is colored because of the chromate, not the potassium. If they are toxic, it is because of the anion. Potassium hydroxide is used in the electrolyte of alkaline cells. Potassium chloride can be used as a substitute for table salt. Potassium ions are colorless and similar to sodium ions. Potassium compounds are only in one oxidation state: +1. Potassium also burns in air easily, to make the peroxide or the superoxide.Ĭhemical compounds Potassium chloride in a flame The hydrogen produced during its reaction with water can burst into flames when a large amount of potassium is added to water. It also reacts very fast with water, which is another reason for its storage in oil. It tarnishes in air to produce a whitish oxidized layer on the surface. Potassium reacts in many chemical reactions similar to sodium and other alkali metals. Strongly alkaline potassium hydroxide is formed in solution. The pink or lilac flame comes from burning potassium vapor. It is the second lightest metal, after lithium.Ĭhemical properties A reaction of potassium metal with water. Its melting point is 63 degrees Celsius (145.4 degrees Fahrenheit). The unstable isotope with 21 neutrons is one of the most common radioactive materials. Potassium has two stable isotopes, with 20 or 22 neutrons. Potassium is not found as an element in nature, because it is so reactive. This symbol is taken from the Latin word kalium. Potassium is a chemical element in the periodic table. ![]() |
