![]() ![]() Wetlands form one of the greatest ecotone regions in the world. This was recognized when the Ramsar Convention was signed by 172 countries, vowing to protect the wetlands of the world. If we can conserve and restore ecotones, we are effectively conserving a greater amount of biodiversity in nature. This will help us plan our land-use better in the future.Įcotones and edges are an active area of research for conservationists. Understanding ecotone-dynamics help us understand how we are affecting them. Nowhere in nature has excessive human involvement been beneficial for life. Our interference has added another dimension to an already complicated condition in ecotones. For example, these “induced edges” play a detrimental role in seed dispersal of the nearby vegetation species. This artificial ecotone is also a tension zone for the interior organisms. When a road is built through a forest, the path of the road represents a transition from the two forest ecosystems on either side. Our interference in interior ecosystems tend to create ecotones, in some cases. Why do you think great civilizations of the past were situated on floodplains? These conditions are excellent for the development of agricultural land. It also has a ready water source in close proximity. Along the river-land ecotone, the land is extremely fertile. Edges also host advantageous conditions for humans. Humans have affected ecotones and edges in their quest to modify these zones for their benefit. These zones are harsh and sensitive even small changes in their characteristics can be potentially disastrous for the organisms living there. Their ability to support so many different organisms make them highly sensitive areas of biodiversity. High biodiversity and highly sensitive zonesĮcotones and edges are unique because of the conditions they host. This change in spatial and temporal habits of organisms makes the definition of an edge species quite difficult. Some other species are found in both edge as well as interior habitats. Sea turtles are also unique organisms that come into beaches to lay eggs, and get back to their sea habitat when their young ones are ready. For example, there are some species of fishes that come from the sea to estuaries for spawning. Seasonal edge species are quite common in nature. There are some species that are “edge species” for only a short period of time. They are able to perform most of their daily activities along these edges. Amphibians are the classic edge species of floodplain ecotones. The new array of species living along edges are unique, and are called edge species. Similarly, the ecotones formed by seas and rivers (deltas or estuaries) have a greater number of fish species. For example, you will always find a greater number of bird species along the land-water ecotones. This phenomenon is called the edge effect. The greater number of landscape elements, vegetation complexity and mixed ecosystem characteristics result in greater density and biodiversity along the ecotones. Therefore, it makes for a completely different habitat! ![]() This zone can traverse long stretches along two ecosystems and is a place where characteristics of both ecosystems can be seen. This is a fundamental characteristic of landscapes that is often studied by landscape ecologists. When an ecosystem (or community) changes abruptly from one to another, that zone is called an ecotone. Understanding their dynamics is important if we are to manage them better in the future. These regions have faced great damage due to human activities. ![]() We’ll also see what these abrupt changes cause and how that is important for life in that region. In this post, I’ll take a look at the abrupt changes from one ecosystem to another. Because of this richness and the complex conditions of this zone, it is vital for the economy of that region. They are very, very rich in biodiversity. In nature ecosystems transition from one to another gradually or abruptly. These transition zones are extremely important from an ecological and economic point of view. Have you ever wondered why floodplains host such a variety of life? Why fishes tend to congregate in estuaries for spawning? Why humans have thrived for so long along floodplains? ![]()

![]() ![]() I’m a sucker for how easily they flare, and how the flares look. You can work out which ones pair together well. You can pick up several lenses for a couple of hundred dollars and find the ones you like the most. That they are so affordable allows for great experimentation. What’s most appealing to me about Soviet glass is how you can get wildly different copies of the same lens – to this day, I still have three different Helios 44 that I use for different visual styles. If you have a quarrel with the latest and greatest top-performing autofocus lenses on the market if you find Zeiss optics too sharp, or Samyang too clean, or even the Canon L series a little boring, then you probably already started going down the vintage lenses rabbit hole. It sounds like a bad thing at first, but then, dealing with limitations is one of the best ways to push your creativity and inspire new ideas, isn’t it? Result from a modified Helios 44-2. And unlike a lot of other brands, where you can adapt the lens to your style, I’d say here you have to adapt your style to the lenses. You can easily tell that from the Helios 44. Soviet lenses have a very strong personality. How do they remain so cheap to this day, when every other brand of vintage glass has shot up in price? Soviets were a massive technological hub back in the day, competing head-to-head with the US, and developing several award-winning optical designs and lenses. The Helios 44 is a Soviet lens, and I could almost say most people end their exploration of Soviet optics right there. Besides being the #1 recommended vintage lens for folks starting out in the all-manual world, the Helios 44 doesn’t belong to any of the more popular and established brands. Image credit: Tito Ferradans Why do I want soviet glass?Ī lot has been said about Canon FD, Leica R, Nikon AI, and so on… But outside of these more popular options, one lens stands above them all: the Helios 44. Rehousing companies drain the market of rare lenses and drive the prices up by revamping the simplistic mechanics these lenses originally featured, compared to the sturdiness and standards required to survive a film set. The train has left the station!īig-time cinematographers choose exquisite and unorthodox optics for their Hollywood projects – Greg Fraiser in Batman, or Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead. Be it the fact that they’re no longer made, what age has done to the glass, or how optics were calculated back in the day. ![]() We can all agree vintage lenses have something special about them. So without further ado, let’s give him the floor. He recently wrote a starter guide on how to pick up a vintage lens from the Soviet era, condensing almost a decade of hard-earned knowledge into an easily accessible resource. As you may or may not know, Tito Ferradans is a tireless lens enthusiast and the author of the Anamorphic Cookbook Course on MZed. ![]() ![]() ![]() This must be done 24 hours before the end of the subscription period to avoid being charged. ![]() You may cancel a subscription during its free period via the subscription setting through your iTunes Account.

"Don't go overexertin' yourself so much! You're just beginning to recover! I don't want you wearin' yourself out, Trypti-babes!" However, Trypticon spots the Aerialbots, and converts to battle mode, forcing the Aerialbots to retreat. Galvatron and Octane are explaining to Fakkadi that the Decepticons will supply Carbombya with more buildings, such as the Kremlin, while they take over the oil fields. However, Trypticon surfaces, carrying the Eiffel Tower. Broadside takes the Aerialbots to investigate, and spots the two stolen buildings. Perceptor believes that Trypticon is responsible for the thefts. Perceptor runs in declaring that the energon Grimlock found was made via a Decepticon formula, with Carbombyan oil. ![]() Sky Lynx angrily objects to being called a Dinobot, and refuses to participate. Meanwhile, Six-Gun and Scamper are interrogating the Dinobots, as well as Sky Lynx, under the watchful eye of Metroplex. As Trypticon says nothing to contradict the story, Galvatron takes a swig, and finds that it is stronger. Thinking fast, Octane claims that he brought Trypticon to Carbombya to help him get better, with a more powerful form of energon, and tosses Galvatron a cube. He declares Octane a traitor, saying he stole Trypticon from Dinobot Island. However, Galvatron has been tracking down Trypticon. Metroplex decides to interrogate all the Dinobots.Īt Carbombya, Fakkadi is pleased, declaring that with enough monuments, they will soon have a thriving tourist attraction. As Perceptor begins analyzing the energon, Grimlock also smells dinosaur transform static, and fears one of his own Dinobots may have been involved. While the Autobots investigate the disappearance of Fort Knox ('cause that's something that directly involves the Autobots), Grimlock finds energon cubes which he says "smell different". Meanwhile, in the barren deserts of Kentucky. To make Fakkadi "more happy", Trypticon steals the Taj Mahal. Octane declares that Trypticon will starve, and negotiates a new plan: give Fakkadi a new palace, and he will let them stay and have more oil. ![]() Pacified, Fakkadi agrees to allow the Decepticons to remain in Carbombya until the next crescent moon, and Trypticon is put under strict ration of one thousand barrels a day. The simple answer? Octane has Trypticon steal Fort Knox. Octane offers to bring Fakkadi gold in exchange for being able to stay, but Fakkadi declares that it would take all the gold of the United States to allow them to stay. Fakkadi demands that the two Decepticons leave, or he will call the Autobots. However, Abdul Fakkadi, the leader of the desert nation, is unhappy with Trypticon's constant consumption of oil. Octane hopes that with Trypticon to back him up, he can overthrow Galvatron and become leader of the Decepticons. Meanwhile, the Triple Changer Octane is nursing Trypticon back to health, using energon made from the oil of Carbombya. Broadside and Seaspray travel to where Trypticon landed in the ocean, and learn that he walked underwater to avoid being caught. Grimlock declares that he wants to see the "good part", where Metroplex destroyed Trypticon, but Teletraan II states that Trypticon survived the encounter. Rodimus Prime, Grimlock, Perceptor, and the Aerialbots are reviewing the footage of Metroplex's battle with Trypticon. ![]() ![]() This will allow us to track and fix them accordingly. ![]() In any case, with so many more people actively playing the mod in a public release we expect some things to come up, so we encourage everyone to post reports bugs at. Not many issues have come up during the alpha, so we expect the beta to play fairly smoothly. This release primarily brings what was implemented in 1.15.2 forward a version with a few more additions, so your builds are unlikely to be impacted or outdated in the way that the 1.15 release rendered everything from 1.12. Image taken by eag and build from Ĭonquest Reforged 1.16.5 is now in beta. Conquest’s 1.18 textures and block shape variants The previous implementation -that generated the entity to make the seat sittable became increasingly unstable on servers. Place the seat again to make it sittable. Updated leaf texture brightness and added ambient occlusion for many leaves We look forward to seeing what you build with Minecraft’s expanded height limit and how you like the weapons and armors!! We’re making them separate from each other and the main mod to reduce issues when updating if a certain mechanic breaks, give players more freedom to choose what they want to play with – or what their machine is able to play with – and to avoid creating a massive “kitchen sink” mod. We plan on releasing the remainder of the armors and weapons in separate themed mods (eg: Fantasy, Ancient, Asian). The goal of this first release is to begin making Conquest’s armors available to you all without being forced to use the vanilla resource-pack. This will be labeled as “beta” as specific mechanics are subject to change. More mechanics like this may come in the future. ![]() It also offers extended and reduced weapon reach for certain weapons, such as spears and daggers. The armor models for all modded armors have been altered as well to be less bulky (ie: they don’t clip through one another anymore) and more realistic.Įverything should be craftable in survival through a new crafting table called the “Arms Station”, which is similar to the stonecutter but preserves durability and enchantments. This mod also features the 3d “pumpkin” helmets from Conquest as actual working helmets that offer protection. This brings all the medieval themed weapons, shields, and armors from Conquest to a mod separate from the main Conquest Reforged mod. We’re also releasing the first iteration of Conquest's Medieval Armors and Weapons. Just remember to set the game to use at least 8gb of RAM on these launchers!Ī small sample of newly added and functional equipment for your new adventures Personally, I prefer Prism and ATlauncher to Curseforge as they're easier and faster to use. The mod-pack will also be available on Modrinth, and accessible through alternative launchers such as Prismor ATlauncher. Without Optifine, we can package together a completely functional mod-pack on Curseforgefor easy and quick installation, with no manual installations involved. It's a Fabric alternative for Optifine's "Better Grass" feature that also extends to modded grass blocks and nether "grasses" such as crimson and warped nylium. We've also released ArdaGrass (created by JayemCeekay from Ardacraft). Still, always remember to backup your worlds before opening them in a new version! Worlds that are currently in Forge 1.18 seem to be fine when opened in Fabric 1.19 thus far. ![]() As this is the first release ever for Fabric, it will be marked as Beta, so if you encounter issues be sure to report them here. Greatest of all is that Optifine is not required for connected textures, shaders, and other aesthetic features, making installation for players easier and our work as developers simpler. ![]() Conquest Reforged is now available for the Fabric mod-loader and Minecraft 1.19.2, rendering a whole new suite of mods available to our community! From the once familiar Replay Mod (now a Fabric exclusive) to powerful new performance enhancing mods, these days Fabric can offer Reforged players quite a bit to heighten their experience. ![]() ![]() As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize our website and possibly also advertising.

It was this violence that the church attempted to regulate, giving rise to a code meant for those horse-bound "knights" which later became known as chivalry. Then over time, because the Frankish clan structure combined with Western Christian practices, a martial elite arose which came to view violence as its primary and hereditary profession. ![]() Although the exact origins of the term "knight" are unknown-as cniht in Old English and knecht in German both refer to a "servant" or "bondsman"-the fact remains that the concept of a servant-soldier fighting on horseback is the central concept of chivalry peasants need not apply. "Knights", or mounted heavy cavalry, had first been used by the Franks in the previous two centuries, perhaps as a response to Muslim invasions from Spain in the 8th century. The term comes from the French word chevalier, or "knight", who derives his name from cheval, or horse. ![]() Although not without its minor faults, Saul delivers on his promise to separate the common impression of chivalry as a fantastical code of conduct for brave and heroic knights from the reality that it was an aristocratic lifestyle with frequent internal contradictions which were often openly acknowledged and accepted by the contemporaries who practiced it.Ĭhivalry as a concept emerged around the 10th century AD in France when the Christian church began attempting to regulate the violence endemic to Frankish society. In Chivalry in Medieval England, Nigel Saul aspires to these aims as he discusses one of the most distorted topics in medieval history: the code of chivalry. Yet in point of fact, the idealistic history we imagine is almost always entirely false and it is the job of historians to sift through that illusory past and figure out where romanticism ends and actual history begins. Cover of Chivalry in Medieval England by Nigel Saul. A common sentiment, it is actually responsible for distorting the realities of our collective past because it makes us think that everything "then" was a lot nicer, a lot simpler, and maybe just plain better than how things are now.

Remember studying your ass off for a difficult class, or rewriting that term paper for the 10th time. The great news, despite my failings, is that the more time you put into 'F1 2013', the more rewarding it feels. If you want to excel here - if you want to shave milliseconds off your times, corner correctly, get ahead in the pack, and earn trophies and new contracts - it's going to take loads of effort. 'F1 2013' sets out to recreate the talent, training, and time it takes to drive one of the most incredible machines mankind has ever birthed. Turns out I can suck at any game when it's a demanding, precise experience. As a crap gamer, I'm pretty much relegated to driving games because I'm pretty awful at stuff like first person shooters. Playing 'F1 2013' for the first time was a frustrating experience. I've still got a ways to go, but this mode was probably my favorite. Rather than one season, you play 20 challenges meant to capture the essence of an F1 Driver's entire career, from Rookie to a Teammate Battle to a Championship Title, to a Final Year. Finally, Scenario Mode is a more story based version of Career Mode. Time Trial needs to be connected to PSN, where you compete globally for top times, and features all 11 teams and 19 tracks. Time Attack was really interesting, allowing you to practice against ghost cars of your best times on six tracks. Proving Ground mode has three more options: Scenario, Time Attack, and Time Trial. Like GP Mode, you can customize the length of individual races, where you want to races, and things like weather and how easily your cars will get damaged. It's pretty easy to get online, and I had a buddy come over to check out the horizontally split screen. Players have the option to race everything from Grand Prix/Career Mode as well as F1 Classics cars and circuits. Multiplayer Mode has three iterations: online, split-screen, and LAN. Thus far I've only done single races of varying lengths, but you can also set up a full season or custom championship series. The possibilities seem endless in GP mode. Grand Prix Mode, which was last seen in 2011, is back and allows players to instantly race between all eleven 2013 F1 teams (two drivers on each), and the nineteen worldwide circuits, including Australia, Malaysia, China, Bahrain, Spain, Monaco, Canada, Britain, Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Korea, Japan, India, Abu Dhabi, USA, and Brazil. There's also a lot of fun to be had comparing the handling characteristics of ultra-modern super machines versus the best of a different era. Seriously, even amongst F1 newbies, who hasn't wanted to be Mario Andretti behind the wheel of a Ferrari? Classics even looks nostalgic with its sepia toned worlds, but if you don't like that part, feel free to adjust the picture controls. Formula 1 fans will definitely get a kick out of racing classic cars and teams on classic tracks. Its sub-menu is similar to the Main Menu, and includes its own versions of Grand Prix (with five 1980-1988 cars, ten "iconic" drivers, and two 1980s circuits - Spain's Jerez and Britain's Brand Hatch), Time Trial, Time Attack, and a Scenario Mode with three types of challenges. There they have access to various modes: F1 Classic, Grand Prix, Career, Multiplayer, Proving Ground, and My F1 (settings).į1 Classics is the talk of this F1 release. For fans and those who own previous series entries, it seems as though Career Mode is a bit disappointing because it repeats too many elements from the 2012 season.Īfter quitting out of Career Mode the first time - even if you're like, ahem, someone that's totally not me, and failed the Young Drivers Test on the easiest mode possible - gamers will see the Main Menu. This is my first time with the 'F1' series, so I found Career Mode both intimidating and impressive. You literally get to compete in an entire season with all the practice and testing and 15-lap minimum races. Not only is the YDT training for the entire game, but it's also the first step along the behemoth that is Career Mode. Once installed, the game immediately launches the Young Drivers Test, where you learn acceleration, cornering, how to use the KERS (turbo boost ish) and DRS (a sometime-adjustable wing) systems. Installation added another 10-15 minutes. The 7253MB file was initially estimated to take 92 minutes to download, but with my 11Mbps ATT U-verse broadband connection, took several hours.
