![]() Largely influenced by a desire to make buildings grander and more prestigious, and by the theological trend for more natural light in churches, gothic architecture made use of advances in technology, and the design of vaulting and buttresses, which allowed structures to be built increasingly far higher and with larger windows. Originating in the 12 th century in France and England, gothic architecture was a development of the Norman Romanesque style. Article originally on LiveScience.1.4.7 Kaunas Castle, Lithuania A Guide to Gothic Castles The Development of Gothic Architecture "The beautiful lines and structure could serve only to channel those particles to the center, and have no aesthetic purpose."Īlthough Jordan said he doesn't think that's the case, the idea that the fine sediments are important to females would be "biologically interesting, because it would suggest that function is more important than appearance," he said.Įmail Douglas Main or follow him on Twitter or Google+. "The one caveat I have is that there is no evidence that females care about anything more than the fine sand, and even that's a stretch," Jordan said. In this case, the formations may serve solely to gather fine sediments, which females could use to choose their mate, Jordan said.īut until this idea is tested, nobody will know. The formations are very similar to so-called "bowers" - display sites built by various animals like bowerbirds in which to strut their stuff before mating. "It's a nice clean study because it provides a definite answer to the question - something that is very rare in biology," Jordan said. Research describing the pufferfish formations was published in July in the journal Scientific Reports. D shows the same circle one week after spawning. "A" represents the early stage, B the middle stage and C the final stage. One of the circular formations in various stages of completion. The fact that such a small animal makes such a large formation is "pretty cool, and suggests some underlying biological reason for the size, like poor visibility at depth, or distance between individuals that means males have to make large nests to be found by females," he told LiveScience. When Jordan first heard about the circles, he guessed a much bigger fish would have made them. Kawase said they likely give up their old formations because the circles exhaust the fine sediment in the area, and thus must be built anew in areas with fresh sediment. The male pufferfish don't maintain these formations, and underwater currents wash them away relatively quickly. It takes about seven to nine days for the pufferfish to construct the circles. The speed of water was slowed by nearly 25 percent in the center, where the eggs are laid, the study noted. Then, the downstream peaks and valleys funnel the water outward. A fluid dynamics test using a half-size model of one of these circles found that the upstream portion of the circle funnels water and fine sediments toward the center. Strangely enough, the male "gathers" the fine sediments using the circular pattern itself, Kawase said. Third, the male gathers fine sediments to give the resulting formation a distinctive look and coloring, Kawase said. ![]() Second, the male decorates these ridges with fragments of shells. First, they involve radially aligned ridges and valleys outside the nest site. For example, male featherfin cichlids in Africa's Lake Tanganyika build small bowls out of the sand, and display them to females before mating there, said Alex Jordan, a researcher at the University of Texas at Austin who wasn't involved in this study.īut this new pufferfish's geometric patterns have three features never seen before. Males of some species of cichlids (a type of fish) are known to construct crater-shaped mounds that females visit to have their eggs fertilized, Kawase said.

![]() In Convoy, players must escort three supply trucks along a route while defending them from enemy mechs. One of the biggest improvements, at least for anyone who didn’t take to the game’s multiplayer-only modes at launch, is the addition of two co-op modes that let players work together rather than destroy each other.Īdded throughout 2019, the game’s co-op modes support up to four players.

It feels like a simulator, but manages to be almost as easy as an arcade game to pick up while remaining challenging to master. It’s controls and systems are intuitive enough that you can grasp the basics in a match or two, but that doesn’t stop the game from delivering a incredible sense of immersion thanks to its interactive cockpit and unique mech control model. Developer Space Bullet tells us it isn’t done yet the studio teases “ambitious plans” for the game’s eventual 1.0 launch and beyond.įans of the genre know that mech games usually fall along a spectrum that spans from complex ‘simulator’ style gameplay to simple ‘arcade’ style gameplay, with games on each side having a distinctly different feel.Īs a VR mech game, Vox Machinae strikes and impressive balance between playability and immersion. ![]() Updates over the last two years have added co-op modes, a helpful cross-platform friends list, gameplay-changing ‘modules’, new mechs, weapons, and more. ![]() The 2018 early access launch of VR mech game Vox Machinae may feel like a distant memory by now, but it still stands as perhaps the most immersive VR mech game to date. ![]() YouTube allows creators to monetize their videos through advertising, memberships, and merchandise sales.

If you have a particularly old system which was unable to run GPU prior, it may begin to work now. As part of this work, we were able to reduce the minimum OpenGL version required to run the GPU plugin to OpenGL 3.1. Last week, we changed the underlying libraries our GPU plugin uses for interfacing with OpenGL. If you enable this plugin and shift+right-click an NPC, it will be highlighted. It is still possible to see if the patch was composted, since that affects yield regardless of payment, by checking the tooltip. If you are looking for a way to highlight monsters, there is another plugin called 'NPC Indicators'. It doesn't work currently with payments to farmers who protect multiple patches, notably allotments. The farming tracker now tracks patch payments for most trees, fruit trees, bushes.

Inventory tags now supports an unlimited number of different tag "groups"/colors instead of just 6. This makes it easier to change these settings quickly and removes the "configuration" mode where you are otherwise unable to interact with the items, which can be inconvienent. Inventory tags and the left and shift-click configuration for inventory items have moved to the shift-right click menu on the items, similar to how the custom swap settings on npcs, objects, and worn items work. If you notice the boost panel missing, go into the Boosts information plugin and enable Display panel. The new "Display panel" option was defaulted to off, assuming most players use the infobox display instead. The boosts plugin gained a new "compact view", which necessitated a new toggle for turning off the existing boosts panel display, which previously was predicated on the infobox on/off toggle.

A giant seed treat is a different story.Īnd because nobody is allowed near the goat obviously nobody can chase off the birds. It’s a great glut of food for them in the winter! Not so great for the goat, who has become an all you can eat buffet for hungry winter birds.īirds don’t normally go for the goat because its just plain hay, which isn’t really edible for birds. They basically put a gigantic pile of seeds in the middle of a park in winter, so naturally every bird in the city is like “oh shit, low effort high calorie food! Fuck yes a little treat for me” and is just homing in on the goat like a missile. It’s because they’re using a new hay collection method which means the hay is FULL of seedheads, which it never has been before. This has, according to experts on the news, never happened before. The latest development in the goat saga is that the goat is being eaten alive by birds.

Once you download that - for free - you should be able to transfer files as freely as you’d like. ![]() You have to download what is essentially the “compatibility” app Google has made for macOS, Android File Transfer. It’s worth noting that, even though Android has improved substantially over the years - and so has macOS - you still cannot just download files by plugging in your USB or USB-C cable. So without waiting any further, let’s get right to it. Given that there are quite a lot of these apps now, we decided to compile a list of the five best Android file transfer software for Mac in 2023. This is where other offerings come into the mix. Despite its feature set, Android Device Manager does have some limitations. However, this is not suitable for every purpose. Google has had the Android File Transfer app for Mac that helps you easily transfer files (or even drag and drop) onto your Android phone or tablet. Given that Apple doesn’t offer a software by default to do this, users have long had to rely on third-party solutions for safe and secure file transfer between a Mac and an Android device. Keeping this in mind, it’s important to have best android file transfer app or software that can help you transfer files between your Android smartphone and Mac. A lot of Android users rely on Mac as their primary computer. |
