![]() Do you want a lighter stone-like black or a deep inky black? Again, consulting a professional is a good idea here. It seems like black is the easiest color to get right, but there are many tones of black to choose from. They will also be able to tell you how to take care of your hair so that it retains its vibrancy. Colored hair can look brilliant and lush when done by a professional.

![]() ![]() However, there are also these purple planets that no one can build on (initially at least). It doesn’t need terraforming, you just have to spend a QIC. So what is a Gaia Project then? Well, there’s one kind of planet (the Gaia planet), which anyone can build on. So maybe you would be better taking a different one? It adds another layer of strategy and provides for a lot of variability. Taking one tech tile might be more beneficial to you right now, but the tech track it’s linked to might not fit with your current strategy. It’s absolutely great! Since the allocation of the tech tiles varies each game, you have some tricky decisions to make. The favour tiles have been integrated into the tech board. Whenever you gain a tech tile, by building the appropriate building, you advance on the matching tech track. The locations are variable, but most of the tech (favour) tiles are now linked with one of the tech tracks. The favour tiles from Terra Mystica have now been integrated into the tech board. This tech board also contains tracks that provide several types of resource income (knowledge, money, power, QICs, etc), but also has an eponymous Gaia Project track. The spade (terraforming) and shipping (navigation) tracks on each of the faction boards in Terra Mystica have been moved onto a central tech board for Gaia Project. Tech tracks? Yes, and this is where the biggest difference between Terra Mystica and Gaia Project really comes into play. You have to spend knowledge, as an action, to advance on one of the tech tracks. The other resources are broadly the same (although ‘workers’ are now ‘ore’), but the priests from Terra Mystica have gone. QICs can been used for several things, but spending one allows you to temporarily increase your navigation range by 2. To help out with this though, there is a new resource known as the quantum intelligence cube (QIC). In order to reach nearby planets you have to increase your navigation range (think shipping), which is pretty crucial. There is a new resource known as the quantum intelligence cube. However, the vast majority of planets aren’t adjacent to other planets so you can’t do a couple of easy terraforming actions at the start like you can in Terra Mystica. The board is modular, which is great by the way – it means that the layout of all the planets is radically different each time you play. The kind of space that requires a spaceship to traverse! All the planets you’re trying to terraform are separated by lots of… space. ![]() However, as soon as you look at the main board, you realise something that makes a pretty big difference. The buildings are essentially the same (they’ve just been renamed) and the upgrade paths between them are the same as well. The faction boards are laid out in a very similar way. ![]() When you start playing Gaia Project, it does feel very similar to Terra Mystica. It doesn’t bother me personally the plastic isn’t cheap plastic, but it’s still plastic and I know some people are always going to prefer wood. There’s just something about wood that says quality though. I guess it fits the sci-fi theme more, and the building models are good. The first thing that strikes you about Gaia Project is that all the wooden components of Terra Mystica seem to have turned to plastic. Is it good enough to purchase if you already own Terra Mystica though? Let’s have a look… So today I’d like to talk about the differences between Terra Mystica and Gaia Project and why I think Gaia Project is a better game. It looks like you can improve on perfection after all. I don’t know how they managed it, but it’s better. Terra Mystica is a group favourite, so everyone wants to try it. Well, following its release at Essen, Gaia Project has been played by our gaming group at almost every opportunity. Would it just be a straight retheme or would there be significant differences? Could they really improve on what I perceived to be a near-perfect Euro? Would there be an inevitable disappointment that either it didn’t really add anything significant or was actually worse because they made changes that I wasn’t keen on? When I heard that they were retheming Terra Mystica in space ( Gaia Project), I was very interested, but also apprehensive. I’ve played it and played it over the years. Terra Mystica is one of my top ten games of all time. For those with higher arches like myself, it meets your foot where it is and gives a nice counter support along the back end of the arch. This aides in supporting the intrinsic muscles of the foot to give your arch the support it needs to avoid collapse or further strain of the plantar fascia. The structure along the mid foot makes good contact along the arch of the foot. ![]() Here’s what I like about the new ALINE Active+ insole 1. ![]() But I’m happy I tried them because I think they’re one of the most supportive insoles I’ve ever used. So when I got these insoles from ALINE, I was skeptical at first and didn’t know what to expect. The same is true for my wife was is also in the medical profession. Now I personally have gone through 4 or 5 different insoles over the last few years because I’m constantly on my feet. The alignment of your ankle will affect the knee, hip, and back, which is why it’s so important to start here.ĪLINE Insoles Review: Thoughts From a Physical TherapistĪs a physical therapist, I’m constantly asked the question, “what shoes do you recommend” or more commonly “what insoles do you recommend for people suffering from plantar fasciitis or heel pain?” There’s a reason Physical Therapists analyze your arch support when you have ankle, knee, hip, or back pain. The ALINE insoles provide support by addressing the alignment of your ankle. Some of the big name insoles provide cushioned support that feels good for a week, but wear down quickly. Most interestingly, they are the only insoles I’ve used that start with a focus on proper alignment. Without a doubt, the ALINE insoles have been the most supportive insoles I’ve owned. In the clinic, I’m on my feet for 10 hours a day, so I’ve tried 4-5 insoles over the past few years. You might have tried every insole available in the store. ![]() Each step sends forces through your joints that can cause pain and damage joint structures if your alignment is poor. The average person walks over 2 million steps a year – for someone with pain, those steps can feel excruciating. But I am I Physical Therapist, and I understand the importance of having proper foot support and alignment, especially if you’re someone who has foot, knee, hip or back pain. But they’re not just for elite athletes.īy no means am I a high level athlete. You might have heard of the ALINE insoles as they’re one of the most talked about insoles for golfers and athletes. I was provided with a set of insoles by ALINE, but was not compensated to write this review. This ALINE insoles review was written by a Physical Therapist who actually uses the insole. ![]() ![]() We've used many word processors specifically designed for screenwriters and dramatists, but none approach Final Draft 9 in features or sophistication.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Final Draft 9.0.

The followup to Banjo-Kazooie expanded on what made the first great, adding 8 more gorgeous (if stuttery on the Nintendo 64) levels to keep the collecta-a-thon going while not shaking things up too much. There are just too many greats to fit into a list of 25.įinally, one last note, because our staff is mostly made up of people who played Nintendo 64 games released only in North America, we decided to keep this list import free. Honorable mentions include Conker's Bad Fur Day, Mario Party 2, Excitebike 64, Pilotwings 64, Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Mario Tennis, Turok, Wrestlemania, No Mercy, BattleTanx, Episode I: Racer, Snowboard Kids, Mischief Makers, ISS98, and many, many more. The games toward the top of this list are the ones that we feel have the best combination of those three criteria, while the ones towards the bottom, or the ones that didn't make the cut, might be strong in one of those aspects, but lacking in the others. Second, we tried to consider a number of factors, including historical significance, how good it looked and played at the time, in addition to how well it holds up today, y’know, just in case you’re still able to dig your old N64 out of the closet. First, while we didn't have a hard rule on only including games that were exclusive to the Nintendo 64, we also didn’t want to include games that are just simply better on other platforms of that era, like Resident Evil 2 and Rayman 2. ![]() As always with any kind of list like this, it’s important to establish our criteria to explain as best as we can why some games made the list and others didn’t. ![]() Here, we analyze the emergence and spread of the Delta variant in Russia between April-October 2021 and compare it to other countries. Thanks to extensive efforts of many countries in sampling and sequencing SARS-CoV-2 genomes from patients, it is possible to track the spread of different viral variants across the world. Still, adaptive evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in the human genome continues, highlighting the need for surveillance of novel variants. While Delta clearly has increased fitness compared to ancestral strains, whether its sublineages change its properties further is less clear. The phylogeny of Delta is more structured than that of other variants of concern, and its characteristic mutations have accumulated gradually. ![]() Delta has spread rapidly in Russia, increasing in frequency from 1% in April to over 90% in June. The fast spread of Delta may be associated with its reduced sensitivity to neutralization by antibodies as well as increased efficiency of fusion with human cells. It was shown to be more infectious but also to cause higher mortality than earlier variants of concern. ![]() The Delta (B.1.617.2 + AY.*) variant of SARS-CoV-2 that was first detected in India in late 2020 is, as of November 2021, the prevalent lineage in most countries including Russia. While some of these variants are certainly characterized by changed fitness due to changes in transmissibility and/or immune avoidance, much of the geographical difference and dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 lineages is due to epidemiological factors that are not caused by differences in variant fitness. Since the start of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, several lineages of concern have appeared and replaced preexisting lineages in different countries. Distinguishing between these factors remains challenging in particular, it is difficult to spot the lineages with increased fitness against the background of random frequency fluctuations. In a pandemic, the global spread of viral lineages is defined by a multitude of factors including the intrinsic properties of the virus, properties of host populations, social factors and chance. ![]() ![]() # The length of the list using the length_hint() method is: 7 Print("The length of the list using the length_hint() method is: " + str(sizeOfDemoList)) The example below shows you how to use the length_hint() method to get the length of a list from operator import length_hint: demoList = The syntax for using the len() method is length_hint(listName). Length_hint() is defined in the operator module, so you need to import it from there before you can use it. The length_hint() method is a less known way of getting the length of a list and other iterables. How to Get the Length of a List with the length_hint() Function # Output: The length of the list using the len() method is: 7 Print("The length of the list using the len() method is: " + str(sizeOfDemoList)) The code snippet below shows how to use the len() function to get the length of a list: demoList = The syntax for using the len() method is len(listName). This is more straightforward than using a for loop. Using the len() function is the most common way to get the length of an iterable. How to Get the Length of a List with the len() Function # Output: The length of the list using the naive method is: 7 Print("The length of the list using the naive method is: " + str(counter)) # Printing the result to the console by converting counter to string in order to get the number # Incrementing counter variable to get each item in the list The example below shows you how to use the naïve method to get the length of a list in Python demoList = This method is commonly called the naïve method. You can use the native for loop of Python to get the length of a list because just like a tuple and dictionary, a list is iterable. How to Get the Length of a List in Python with a For Loop In this article, I will show you how to get the length of a list in 3 different ways. To get the length of a list in Python, you can use the built-in len() function.Īpart from the len() function, you can also use a for loop and the length_hint() function to get the length of a list. With the help len() function we will write a program in a Python file in Ubuntu(Linux OS) to get the length of String.In Python, you use a list to store various types of data such as strings and numbers.Ī list is identifiable by the square brackets that surround it, and individual values are separated by a comma. The len() is the predefined function of Python which returns the length of a String, array, tuple or dictionary in a program. So the first method we are going to discuss is to find the length of String using len() function. RequirementsĪny version of Python should be installed on your system(Python3 is preinstalled in latest Ubuntu versions)īelow I have discussed different methods to get the length of String in Python, you can follow any of the method you find easier or appropriate for yourself: How to find Length of a String In Python Using len() Function ![]() So in this Article we will discuss the different ways to get the length of a String in Python on the Linux System. Sometimes we need to know the length of String which we are using in Python programs especially when String is provided by the user. Python is a Scripting language we can easily program in Python on Ubuntu System or any other Linux System and execute them without any extra effort. 10 Complete Typing PlansĮxplore five exciting lands on Typer Island on your adventure to reach the Castle.

Go to Facebook or Instagram to connect with Sapphire Snappers.Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl was equally pleased to secure the move, adding: As a club, we are always on the lookout for young talent and Gavin is a very exciting addition to the squad. The ‘Sapphire Snappers’ is a friendly local photography enthusiasts group based on the Sapphire Coast who regularly meet up to shoot together while sharing photography knowledge and skills.” “It’s surprising what you can learn from being around other photographers. “And stay in contact with your local photography community to share information, techniques and results. Thanks Luke – I owe you one,” Mr Rogers says. He knew I was in the area and alerted me to be camera ready. “I was actually alerted to this spectacular event from a landscape photographer friend, Luke Tscharke, who is based in Tasmania and is a master at low light and astrophotography. You want to get as many shots as possible as you never know when or where this rare occurrence will happen again. Yes it was late and the conditions were miserable however this is often the time when you get the best shots. Shoot for as long as possible in any condition.In my case I was leaving the shutter open anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds This is a technique used to capture scenes in low light conditions whereby you keep the camera perfectly still and leave the shutter open for long periods. You will need a decent camera with manual settings, a tripod and a remote shutter control to shoot ‘long exposure photography’.I was extremely fortunate to photograph it on a raining night – which caused the algae to illuminate with each raindrop The algae only illuminates when disturbed so you need to find a location with crashing waves on a beach or in a gentle bay with small lapping waves to capture a distinct glow along the shoreline.As soon as the sun goes down the magic happens. Get yourself ready at sunset to photograph the bioluminescence.Take a walk up your local beach during the day and try locate clumps along the shoreline.“To capture this phenomenon in a photograph you need to be prepared, and forget your iphone camera, you are going to need some good camera gear.”Ī few tips photography tips from David Rogers: This group was the first to announce a sighting in the Eden area. “The Facebook page ‘ Bioluminescence Australia’ is an excellent community page where members post sightings of the algae around Australia. Mr Rogers who has worked for Fairfax, Bauer Media and News Corp, says, “The lifespan of the algae is only 48 hours – leaving only a brief window to witness this rare event, so you need to stay alert.” Photographers have relished the opportunity, photos from Tathra based pro David Rogers have gone far and wide on social media. “To capture this phenomenon in a photograph you need to be prepared.” – David Rogers. “No reaction could also mean they have finished their life cycle and therefore will no longer emit light,” Ms Wood explains. “If you scoop a bucket of the stuff up try putting a stick or spoon in and swirling it around, and bingo, glowy sparkly sea water! So, if the ocean is calm and the waves small, you are less likely to see any ‘glow’. “In order for them to ‘glow’, they need to be agitated by oxygen. “The bioluminescence is produced by something called a luciferin reaction – which is a term for the light emitting compound found in organisms that generate bioluminescence,” Ms Wood says. While appearing as a red slick on the surface of the water by day, of a night time these organisms which on average measure about 0.5 mm turn on a brilliant electric blue show – the likes of which can only be compared to a Disney movie. ![]() “They say don’t go swimming in it, or eat shellfish off rocks where the bloom is occurring, and that fish generally avoid bloom areas because of the presence of ammonia which irritates fish.” While not considered toxic, Ms Wood, however, says the research suggests you shouldn’t come into contact with the bloom, “According to ATAS, no toxic effects are known.” The ‘red tide’ as seen at Tathra, a natural phenomenon known as Noctiluca – a marine dinoflagellate. |
