![]() Following the end of the last ice age, 14,000 years ago, there was a major warming event that raised global temperatures to roughly their current levels. In that time, humans have been forced to adapt to a wide range of new habitats and climates. In the last 100,000 years, behaviorally modern humans have spread from Africa to colonize most of the globe. The evolution of modern human populations has been accompanied by dramatic changes in environment and lifestyle.

Though the relevant phenotypes are generally not known, such loci should be of particular interest in mapping studies of complex traits. ![]() Finally, since these signals indicate the existence of genetic variants that have substantially different fitnesses, they must indicate loci that are the source of significant phenotypic variation. Contrary to some earlier low resolution studies that suggested a paucity of recent selection in sub-Saharan Africans, we find that by some measures our strongest signals of selection are from the Yoruba population. Most signals are region-specific, though a significant excess are shared across groups. In all three continental groups we find widespread signals of recent positive selection. We describe a new analytical method for scanning single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data for signals of recent selection, and apply this to data from the International HapMap Project. We report here on a genome-wide scan for signals of very recent positive selection in favor of variants that have not yet reached fixation. The identification of signals of very recent positive selection provides information about the adaptation of modern humans to local conditions.

Thomas versionĪll-time charts Chart (1958-2018) But, when the movie came out it hit hugely and sold about 200,000 to 300,000 records a day for about three years. So nowadays, it sounds pretty tame, but back then, radio resisted it to some degree. It was a very unique and different sounding song, Bacharach and David never had any qualms about trying to do anything different, or push the envelope so to speak. The song, initially when it came out, I believe it was October of 69, the movie didn't come out until December, it did get some bad reviews. Billboard Magazine also ranked the song 15th on its Top 50 Movie Songs of All Time list in 2014. In 2008, the single was ranked 85th on Billboard's Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs and placed 95th in the 55th Anniversary edition of the All-Time Hot 100 list in 2013. The same year, it finished at number 23 on AFI's 100 Years.100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema. The song was featured during the 2004 superhero film Spider-Man 2 over a montage sequence when Peter Parker ( Tobey Maguire) initially renounces his identity as Spider-Man. Gold record presented to backup singer Linda November for her work on "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" How wrong I was, as it turned out to be a giant hit." Legacy "When the film was released, I was highly critical: How did the song fit with the film? There was no rain. Robert Redford, one of the stars of the films, was among those who disapproved of using the song, though he later acknowledged he was wrong: Some felt the song was the wrong tone for a western film like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but director George Roy Hill insisted on its inclusion. Carol Kaye played electric bass on the song. ![]() Bob Dylan is supposed to have been approached for the song, but he reportedly declined too. He chose instead to record the song " Sunday Morning Coming Down", written by Kris Kristofferson. Ray Stevens was first offered the opportunity to record it for the film, but turned it down. The film version featured a separate vaudeville-style instrumental break in double time while Paul Newman performed bicycle stunts. In the film version of the song, Thomas had been recovering from laryngitis, which made his voice sound huskier than in the 7-inch release. Thomas in seven takes, after Bacharach expressed dissatisfaction with the first six. According to Billboard magazine, it had sold over 2 million copies by March 14, 1970, with eight-track and cassette versions also climbing the charts. The song also spent seven weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in January 1970 and was also the first American No. 1 on charts in the United States, Canada and Norway, and reached No. The uplifting lyrics describe somebody who overcomes his troubles and worries by realizing that "it won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me." " Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" on YouTube From the motion picture, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kidįrom the album Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head This is not a book to be read at one time. I found it to be a treasure! I did take my time reading it, I think this is the longest I have ever taken to finish a book! I chose to pick it up at different times of different seasons when my interest was inspired. I will admit this book is not for everyone and if you are not passionate about flowers and flower gardening or reading about a woman living in the 50's then just skip this book. I gave copies as Christmas gifts one year to every gardener on my list ! If you are like me you will find yourself rereading this book year after year as you to sit and look out of the window at the snow falling dreaming of your own garden glory.just like Katherine so many winters ago. The book is a fun and interesting ride for any gardener. White was an editor by trade and instinct and she approached the catalogs she reviewed with the same direction and verve, commenting on type face, syntax, editorial liberties as well as color selections the hybridizers made! It is a highly entertaining book-so much so it inspired me to go onto Ebay and begin collecting the catalogs she mentions to see for myself whether I agreed or not ! (In most cases I do). These article are her "reviews" of the gardening catalogs of the day, plus her thoughts and opionions on other gardening related topics. From these cataogs she made her seed and plant lists for the Spring and dreamed of garden glory. Katharine White, the wife of EB White and a famed editor in her own right, was a reader and collector of gardening catalogs which she poured over from her house in Maine during the snowy wintery housebound months in frozen Brookline. And undeniably resourceful.Īs a gardener myself, in addition to being an avid fan of The New Yorker, this collection of articles (first published in The New Yorker in the late 1950's) is a dream come true. She seemed to admire, or at least find "resourceful," the gardener of an English insane asylum who, in the age when horses pulled grass mowers, "harnessed seven madmen to his machine." Oh, hahahaha! HILARIOUS. ![]() ![]() Clearly this tendency was inherited from her father, who detested the American Beauty rose because he found them "a bit 'gross'" (too large and strongly colored). decided never to grow rhododendrons or azaleas, "thinking them too elegant for a Maine coast farm." Ookay. One year she grew dahlias the size of dinner plates, which was "embarrassing.the only word for them was vulgar." She and E.B. Nor did I cotton to her disdain for certain very large or showy flowers. Her writing style is what I consider fussy - "I shall" for "I will," and unnecessarily archaic - there is no reason, in 1966, to call them "motorcars." I can't say the personality that came through the writing was all that attractive. She's also writing in the 50s and 60s, so a lot of the cultivars she's talking about have probably gone the way of the dodo. Even for someone interested in seeds, botany, and yes, seed catalogs, like me, it's a bit much. White reviews them as if they were books. Now in this new edition, White can be read and appreciated anew.īe warned, most of this volume is ed catalogs. Intensely personal and charged with emotion, the essays remain timeless. Onward and Upward in the Garden is an essential book of enduring appeal for writers and gardeners in every generation. Katharine White had vast and varied interests in addition to gardening and she brought them all to bear in the writing of these remarkable essays. White in his introduction to the book, would be like insisting that Ben Franklin was simply a printer. But to think of Katharine White simply as a gardener, cautioned E. Whether White is discussing her favorite garden catalogs, her disdain for oversized flower hybrids, or the long rich history of gardening, she never fails to delight readers with her humor, lively criticism, and beautiful prose. ![]() White, assembled them into this now classic collection. The poet Marianne Moore originally persuaded White that these pieces would make a fine book, but it wasn't until after her death in 1977 that her husband, E. In 1958, when her job as editor was coming to a close, White wrote the first of a series of fourteen garden pieces that appeared in The New Yorker over the next twelve years. Throughout and beyond those years she was also a gardener. ![]() Katharine White began working at The New Yorker in 1925, the year of its founding, and was an editor there for thirty-four years, shaping the careers of such writers as John O'Hara, Vladimir Nabokov, and Jean Stafford. ![]() ![]() This Australian company is most famous for manufacturing and marketing swimwear and swim-related products and accessories.

Since the two were already friends, it was a no-brainer to reach out to Devolas when Woeful got a powerful new set of tools working for Nier: Automata. He could take advantage of the tools Woeful made, point out pain points and stretch their capabilities. “It's the first game that I modded, and it was only two years ago.” It's the first game that I modded, and it was only two years ago.ĭevolas’ modding talents were a perfect support for Woeful. “The only reason why I got into it was because I just thought about how cool it would be to mod Nier: Automata,” Devolas tells me. Enter our second church modder: DevolasRevenge. Once he got going, Woeful largely worked alone on the tools, but would sometimes solicit support from friends in the community when he made an interesting discovery. With the help of Bayonetta modder Kerilk, he began to create the tools that would eventually form the basis for the church project. So I started looking at the 3D model formats for the flower.”īefore Woeful had even finished a normal playthrough of Nier: Automata, he was already tinkering around with modeling program Blender plugins and addons to improve the issues he had found. “It was just these flat planes, the petals of the leaves, and it was such a minor thing, but I would like more of a 3D flower. “There's a cosmetic item called the Luna Tear that you can have placed in 2B's or A2's hair, and what bothered me about this cosmetic is that it was actually pretty 2D,” he says. ![]() ![]() ![]() And while he was having a good time, he began to feel bothered by small details in the game that didn't seem right to him. He first picked up Nier: Automata in 2019, two years after its initial release. Prior to Nier: Automata, he had been tinkering around with Skyrim and Fallout, but eventually arrived at the Nier series thanks to his love of JRPGs. Woeful began his modding career years ago with Source engine games, such as Half-Life 2, and picked up a lot of his programming knowledge from Gary's Mod. “So since I was young, I started tinkering with them and seeing what I can break.” “I'm just a gamer who wanted more from the games I played,” Woeful_Wolf explains. The Nier: Automata church saga was the work of three individuals, but it began with just one, a modder going by Woeful_Wolf. This is the Inside Story of how they tricked the internet into believing there were still meaningful secrets left hidden in one of the most exciting and existential RPGs of the last decade. We tracked down the trio of creators behind SadFutago to get the true tale behind the Nier church saga. They were just regular modders who made some cool stuff, and whose fun tease of the community spiraled far beyond what they had ever intended. The “church saga” as it came to be known turned out to be an elaborate build-up to announce brand new modding tools for Nier: Automata that stand to revolutionize what modders can do with the game’s world and was largely orchestrated on the fly by three individuals who didn’t go into the saga with any elaborate schemes. Even Nier creator Yoko Taro himself got involved. It eventually bled out of the Nier community it started in, reaching major media sites and mainstream gaming communities. SadFutago kicked off a beautiful mess of a multi-month storyline that twisted the community, media, and even expert modders into knots. This protection will switch itself off and let a competitor, like Bitdefender, take over once it’s installed. Depending on your specific version of Windows 10, Windows Defender may also have the name Windows Security or Windows Defender Security. Windows Defender is the free and default antivirus option for most Windows users, and it comes as part of Windows itself. It’s important to note that, while most of these features are standard for Windows users with the most basic Bitdefender Internet Security package, you’ll need to choose one of Bitdefender’s multi-OS plans, like Total Security, to secure your Mac or Android device.Īll in all, Bitdefender has one of the most comprehensive sets of features we’ve seen in any of our antivirus reviews. There’s also a neat file shredder that erases any of your files. Given the risk from ransomware, it’s good to see that Bitdefender prevents file changes to your most sensitive files and offers comprehensive file encryption to lock down any critical documents. However, we’d probably recommend Dashlane (see our Dashlane review) first and foremost. It’s basic and light on features, but as you’ll see in our Blur review, that doesn’t necessarily make for a bad password manager, especially if you just want to set it and forget it. If VPN protection is important, you’ll want to combine Bitdefender with a VPN provider like ExpressVPN (see our ExpressVPN review).īitdefender comes with a password manager to protect your most sensitive data, which is a nice addition. You get a daily allowance for data, but this is capped at 200MB. Safepay works well with Bitdefender’s limited VPN, too, especially if you’re unaware of the dangers of public WiFi and you risk your data on an open WiFi network. ![]() You can use it for any website, but Bitdefender will alert you to switch to Safepay if it spots you trying to make a payment without it. If you’re worried about buying online, you can take advantage of Bitdefender Safepay, which lets you browse online in a secure environment. You’ve also got a firewall included to defend yourself against outside threats. Bitdefender is one of our top recommendations concerning how to secure your webcam against these kinds of threats.īitdefender’s threat detection goes further, too, with software and WiFi vulnerability scanners. Most Bitdefender packages include protection against cyber attackers that take advantage of your mic or webcam, with restrictions on both. That means it’ll protect you against all kinds of malware, even the trickier-to-spot kinds. Windows users are the winners on price because they gain Bitdefender’s “real-time data protection” and “advanced threat defense” as part of every package. With that in mind, we’re taking a look at what Bitdefender and Windows Defender offer their users. Whether you’re paying for an antivirus or you’re choosing a free alternative, you’ll need to know whether the features are enough to keep you safe.

![]() Which means that the screen must also be technologically advanced and viewable in bright, outdoor conditions.įinally, after much consideration and several rounds of testing, GPS Systems chose the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 as the hardware solution most compatible with its software. And it displays a great deal of this processed information. The Golf Pilot software processes a large quantity of information very quickly. They knew that whichever device they chose, it would have to be flexible and include state-of-the-art functionality, such as Wi-Fi, 3G capability, a SIM card slot and a fast processor. When GPS Systems International knew that its software was complete and ready for the market, Pierce and his team turned their efforts to finding the hardware that would meet their needs. “We started working on a GPS-based software solution with the idea to install it into golf carts and provide alert and warning functions but needed a device to run the software efficiently.” Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Golf carts can do a tremendous amount of damage if they’re run down into the bunkers, across the green or into the rough,” said Marvin Pierce, director of GPS Systems. “We saw an opportunity to provide a holistic asset management solution for golf courses to reduce repair costs. It is primarily used to monitor golf carts, but it also includes several other functions. Pilot – Golf Pilot is the flagship product of GPS Systems.Ranger – Golf Ranger tracks individuals who are walking their rounds on golf courses.Tracker – This software tracks vehicles and equipment used for the maintenance of golf courses.At present, the company offers three different products: GPS Systems International is a company in Australia that has quietly been developing and deploying GPS asset-management software for golf courses. And the customized golf carts made possible by this partnership are limited only by the imagination. The system is manufactured in conjunction with GPS Systems International in Australia. Now, however, Samsung Golf Pilot has publicly announced that it has been testing a similar system. Without much in the way of competition in the golf niche, Visage took control of the industry by partnering with Club Car. But some say the company got where it is today simply by being first on the scene. The Visage Mobile Golf Information System is the undisputed leader in golf GPS systems. The Cragheart stormed into the room and with his leftover retaliates from that one ability I managed to take down 2 monsters! I guess if I had not messed up the Spellweaver I might actually have taken down the rest and survived… the question is do I try again? I cannot.Įdit: this time I came surprisingly close, I just miscalculated on when I had to refresh the Spellweaver’s burned cards. I thought I could deal with normal difficulty. I am waiting to get to level 2 in hopes of defeating this scenario then. I have not ONCE managed to choose the side of the travel event that might give me a bonus. I clicked short-rest instead of long-rest and there was no possibility to go back. I keep making stupid mistakes like miscalculating the range on an attack and then having to skip my ability. So far on at least 5 attempts, I have never managed to kill one of the monsters in the final room. I chose Spellweaver and Cragheart 2 characters that have good enough synergy and I know reasonably well because it is what we played in our campaign. I am still on the very first scenario of the campaign. So everytime someone asks about the Steam game, I am motivated to try again. But I might, I think my partner bought the game way back as well. It looks lovely, is nicely animated and the campaign implementation seems really good, too. However, as many of us already know Gloomhaven constantly gives you new stuff to not use correctly. Obviously, I will not repeat those specific mistakes if I play again soon, which I am tempted to do, except I have so many things I want to do that I do not even know where to start. They just become more unforgiving and more difficult. This is exactly the thing with digital implementations of difficult boardgames. I also must have misunderstood or misread a Cragheart card because it just didn’t work when I tried to play it (something damages adjacent characters and when there is no character adjacent apparently the thing cannot be used, I really do not remember how we played it on the table). ![]() I forgot to rest with my Spellweaver and the app just didn’t warn me and with Cragheart alone I was unable to clear the last room. ![]() I created 2 characters and went for the Black Barrow. Ok so I used my lunch break to see how the 1.0 release really is. If you want to check it out or cannot get the physical game played… it’s probably okay. If you want it to replace the physical game: don’t. I think there is a campaign now and not just a few random scenarios and all the characters should have been added. I think there is an undo now–after much clamoring from the players. I long to find the time to go back and play the digital Gloomhaven maybe just to get back into wanting to play it on the table. The same issue I have with the Spirit Island app.Ĭooperative boardgames are often full of complex upkeep systems and on the table those are more forgiving of the mistakes we make, the wrong assumptions, the things we forget and go back and change. However… everytime I went back in the time since (2+ years) a lot had been added but I kept noticing how many mistakes I made and for a long time there was no undoing. I needed r/Gloomhaven to help me grok the game enough back then but it convinced me enough to buy the boardgame. ![]() I thought it was cheaper to try out that way and it was. I actually bought the GLoomhaven on Steam before I bought the boardgame. I liked what I played, but I want to play it with others, and so far that’s just not happening, due to a combination of very few game days, and the difficulty in getting new games to the table. Much like the physical version, as I have Jaws of the Lion, and have only played it once so far. I’ve pretty much gone to just Playstation when it comes to video gaming, so I don’t think GH on the computer would be a good fit for me, as it would not get played. We have set up some physical games and using the webcam played things like Lords of Vegas and Welcome to. We have not used it together at all (though I have with some old high school friends here and there). Near the beginning of the pandemic, I picked up a couple copies of TTS for myself and my wife, as did our friends who we often game with, in the thought that though we couldn’t physically get together for gaming, we could still do a little bit. I have not, and while I’m curious about it, I don’t think I’m going to be getting it. |
