![]() And we’ve just spotted a herd of tule elk. Today I’m here with investigative journalist Peter Byrne and Theresa Harlan, an Indigenous woman adopted by a Coast Miwok family who are descended from the original inhabitants of this land. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area: winding roads, dramatic sweeping beaches, and wild animals like elephant seals, bobcats – and the famous tule elk. I’m at the northernmost edge of Point Reyes, which is a triangular shaped peninsula that juts out from the northern coast of California, about 40 miles north of San Francisco. It’s a sunny July day, and I can see the waves of the Pacific Ocean from where I’m standing. ![]() Sam Anderson: I’m standing on a grassy bluff at Tomales Point in Point Reyes National Seashore. ![]() Theresa Harlan: No, we should stay right here. Peter Byrne: I don’t think we can go any closer. Sam Anderson: Are those the tule elk out there? Oh wow. Just a quick heads up that this story has some brief descriptions of abuses under Spanish colonization. So we’ll spend most of our time today with a story that first aired on KPFA in 2021. Environmentalists said the elk were dying because they were fenced in to protect cattle ranches inside the park.Īnd that has opened up an important conversation about the Indigenous history of this land and where it’s headed. This is a place that’s been described as a “paradigm of coastal California beauty:” Point Reyes National Seashore.Ī few years ago, the National Park Service reviewed its general management plan for the first time in nearly three decades.Īnd that sparked fierce debate around the plight of the tule elk. Lucy Kang: On today’s Making Contact, we’re going to take a look at the only national seashore on the West Coast.

Whether it's the blood-soaked eldritch halls of the original game, or the sci-fi body horror of its sequels, Quake has always left a lasting impression in terms of setting that's just begging to be explored with current-gen technology.

Developed by id Software in 1997, Quake II arrives as an updated Remaster in widescreen and 4K resolution (Switch: 1080p), with an all-new expansion Call of the Machine, mission packs. However, a new Quake game is certainly long overdue. It's available now on Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series XS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. Quake II Only Available Until September 10, 2023. ![]() In fairness, there was a 12-year gap between Doom 3 and Doom (2016), so it's certainly not as if id Software's flagship series has been routinely pumping out releases until very recently. If it wasn't for multiplayer projects like Quake Live or Quake Champions, we'd have gone 16 years without a game in the series. The last official single-player Quake title was Quake 4, released all the way back in 2005, if you can believe that. This could signify that a remaster of the original game will be making its way to PC and current-gen consoles.īut with QuakeCon 2021 happening from August 19 - August 22, there's every chance that this Quake ESRB listing won't remain a mystery for very long. That said, the description for the game on the ESRB listing is reminiscent of the setting for the very first Quake, released in 1996. As we only have the ESRB listing to go off for now, the existence of a future Quake project should be taken with a pinch of salt. Hosted by 44 Bytes.It's currently unclear if this Quake project will be a brand new entry in the series or not, or if it will amount to anything at all. © 2023 Hookshot Media, partner of ReedPop.

I'm presuming most of y'all complaining aren't creatives, because if you were, you'd understand that crediting folks is not a suggestion - it's a must.Īdditionally, from the headline alone I thought this was a dead-horse-beating article, but after reading I realized that it was about someone who went uncredited in MPR who did get credited in Quake 2's remaster. Credit your artists, your musicians, your programmers, your inspirations.giving proper credit shows that you respect the people who work alongside you and who inspire you, and in turn it makes you respectable.Ĭrediting someone isn't hard and it only makes you look good, so seeing so many naysayers in the comments is genuinely disheartening. If someone used one of my songs in a YouTube video, I'd want them to link back to the original song.Ĭredit is just always a good idea in general. Why are some people defending the act of not crediting someone for their work? If someone made a remaster of one of my songs, I'd absolutely want credit for writing the original composition. Here's hoping that the crediting practice used by id Software on this remaster is a sign of better things to come. While the final Metroid Prime Remastered scroll remains unchanged, we have seen some games' credits get retroactively updated in the past - as was the case with Pac-Man World Re-PAC last year. After Nintendo left myself and the original team out of the credits for Metroid Prime Remastered, its nice to see id Software do it right and include everyone who worked on Quake II in its re-release. Zoid Kirsch (a former engineer at Retro Studios who was notably absent from the recent Prime remaster) took to Twitter to share the news that he and his colleagues had made it into this one, writing "This is how it should always be done". Yes, the original Quake II dev team are fully credited this time around, it seems.

The installation of a sequential gearbox requires professional experience and knowledge. Other applications include construction machinery, agricultural equipment, mining machinery, marine vessels, and new energy vehicles. Sequential gearboxes are widely used in various sectors including motor racing, motorcycles, and even in some high-end luxury cars. Additionally, sequential gearboxes are often more compact and lightweight compared to their manual counterparts, contributing to better vehicle performance. These gearboxes are also designed to handle high torque and high-speed applications, making them an ideal choice for motorsport vehicles. They allow for quicker and smoother gear changes, which significantly reduces the risk of transmission damage. Sequential gearboxes come with several distinct features and benefits. Features and Benefits of Sequential Gearboxes It is designed in a way that it allows the driver to keep both hands on the steering wheel, enhancing safety and control. It is commonly used in motorcycles and high-performance race cars due to its ability to provide quick and efficient gear changes. Unlike a manual gearbox where one can skip gears, in a sequential gearbox, the gears must be shifted in order. This flexibility allows us to cater to the unique needs of each customer, providing them with the most suitable gearbox solutions for their applications.Understanding the Sequential Gearbox and Its Applications What is a Sequential Gearbox?Ī sequential gearbox, as the name suggests, is a type of gearbox where gears are shifted in a sequence.

It involves removing the existing gearbox, installing the new one, and adjusting the gear linkage and clutch operation for optimal performance. The installation process of a sequential gearbox requires professional knowledge and skills. The Installation Process of a Sequential Gearbox However, they can also be found in some motorcycles and bicycles for the same reason. Sequential gearboxes are predominantly used in auto racing and high-performance sports cars due to their quick shifting capability. Furthermore, sequential gearboxes usually provide quicker shifts compared to other types of gearboxes. The linear shifting mechanism reduces the chance of a missed shift, and the simplified shifting process allows the driver to focus more on driving. Sequential gearboxes offer various advantages over conventional gearboxes. The driver has to shift up through each gear sequentially from the first gear to reach a higher gear, and vice versa when downshifting. Unlike conventional ‘H-pattern’ manual gearboxes, a sequential gearbox doesn’t allow the driver to skip gears. An Overview of How a Sequential Gearbox WorksĪ sequential gearbox is a type of transmission used in auto racing where gears are arranged in order, making the shift between gears linear. In this article, we will specifically delve into the workings of a sequential gearbox and how it stands out in efficiency and performance. ![]() The world of gearboxes is a complex and intriguing one.

![]() The game was released on Steam on its originally announced release date. On August 8, 2021, Orteil announced on Twitter a Steam release of Cookie Clicker, with the planned release date of September 1, 2021. Orteil later released other idle games such as: Idle Game Maker, a tool allowing customized idle games to be made without coding knowledge AdventureQuest Dragons, a mobile game created with Artix Entertainment and NeverEnding Legacy. Bogost has called Cookie Clicker "the logical conclusion of Cow Clicker". Ĭookie Clicker is similar to Cow Clicker, a previously existing idle game created by Ian Bogost. On August 8, 2019, the mobile beta for Cookie Clicker was released for Android devices after a long delay. On October 25, 2018, Orteil launched the game's Patreon page, with the intent to develop Cookie Clicker and other Dashnet games becoming a full-time job. The game has had continual updates since its release, notably the "legacy" update in February 2016 and the "spiritual" update in July 2017. Orteil later wrote that traffic had peaked at 1.5 million hits in one day during August 2013, and by January 2014, Cookie Clicker was still getting a steady 225,000 hits per day. A month after the game's initial release, it had over 200,000 players per day. Written in a single evening, the game was posted in a link on 4chan, and garnered 50,000 players within hours. Julien Thiennot, also known as Orteil, created Cookie Clicker on August 8, 2013. Though the game has no clear ending, it has over five hundred achievements, and users may aim to reach milestone numbers of cookies. ![]() ![]() The game features geometric or exponential growth: the player begins by baking individual cookies, but can quickly reach billions of cookies, and eventually attain duodecillions (10 39) of cookies or beyond. Additionally, seasonal events occur during their respective holidays which come with more upgrades and cookies to unlock. With "kitten" upgrades, the player earns extra production depending on their total achievements. Upon reaching a certain number of achievements, the player unlocks different colors of milk that appear below the cookie. Achievements can be earned by completing various tasks or goals, such as reaching a certain number of total cookies produced, owning a particular number of buildings of a certain type or clicking a certain number of golden cookies. ![]() Other game mechanics include "wrinklers" (eldritch beasts which reduce cookie production, but can be popped by clicking them, returning all the cookies it digested with interest), Krumblor the Cookie Dragon, mini games, and sugar lumps (which take 24 hours to coalesce and are used to level up buildings and boost their production rate). However, the number of cookies needed to unlock the next prestige level goes up proportionally with the cube of the level, becoming harder to attain as more are acquired. Prestige levels add a permanent boost (+1% per level) to the rate of cookie production in future play-throughs, while heavenly chips can be spent on a wide variety of prestige upgrades. Golden cookies, small cookies that appear in random locations and fade away after several seconds, appear periodically and grant effects, such as a temporary increase in the rate of production, if clicked before they disappear.Īfter earning a certain number of cookies, the player can 'ascend', losing their progress but earning heavenly chips and prestige levels. The player may also purchase upgrades to increase cookie production for these buildings. Prices increase exponentially, with each asset costing 15% more than the last-purchased asset of the same type. With these cookies, the player can buy additional means of production such as cursors, grandmas, farms, mines, factories, banks, temples, and several more that automatically generate cookies. It has been widely described as addictive, and has been credited with playing a role in the emergence of idle gaming.Īt first, the player clicks on a large cookie, earning one cookie per click. Though the original version was coded in one night, Cookie Clicker is regularly updated. Upgrades are also available and can improve the efficiency of clicks and buildings, among many other mechanics that allow the user to earn cookies in different ways. They can then use their earned cookies to purchase assets such as "cursors" and other "buildings" that automatically produce cookies. The user initially clicks on a big cookie on the screen, earning a single cookie per click. Cookie Clicker is a 2013 incremental game created by French programmer Julien "Orteil" Thiennot. ![]() Rather than having to customize every option for your book’s style, Vellum offers a range of “book styles” that you can easily select and apply to your book. One of Vellum’s key benefits is access to ready-made professional book styles, whether in print or digital format. It does not open DOC, PDF, RTF, or ODT file formats. Vellum can usually detect chapter headings and automatically separates chapters for you.Įven though you can customize most of it, all your bold, italics, and underlined formatting should carry over.īelow, you can see that Vellum only opens Vellum files and DOCX files. Although it can only import a Word document (DOCX files), the process is quick and painless. Vellum’s import capabilities are very user-friendly. The creators of Vellum at 180g have stated they will not develop any PC or iOS version in the foreseeable future. Books that you generate will require additional space.” According to, “You will need at least 60 MB free space on your computer to install Vellum. In general, Vellum constantly requires the newest versions of macOS. At the time of this writing, you need to have Catalina, or newer to run the latest versions of Vellum. If you’re a Windows user, Vellum isn’t available for you unless you use MacinCloud. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes. In this video, I take you step-by-step through the process of importing your book into Vellum and adding front and back matter. How many hours of manual formatting would Vellum save you? How much money will you save using Vellum or Atticus instead of hiring a professional formatting service? On the fence about spending the money on a formatting software though? Take the time to calculate what a program like Vellum will save you in terms of time and money. With Vellum, once you purchase a license, you can get a refund within 30 days if you're not satisfied.Ītticus is a superior alternative to Vellum. It allows for both unlimited eBook and print edition generation.Ĭomparing this to Atticus, Atticus only costs $147 for both eBook and Print edition – saving $102 for the same capability. Vellum Press costs a one-time fee of $249.99.It allows for unlimited eBook generation but no print editions. Vellum Ebooks costs a one-time fee of $199.99. ![]() The only limitation is you can't generate copies of your book in the free version, which is kind of the whole point. You get hands-on experience with the software and see what it's capable of - at no cost and with no limit to how long the free trial lasts. Free - Vellum starts as an “unlimited” free trial.However, it charges you by the hour which can be expensive a bit a ridiculous.Īre there any Vellum alternatives? Yes, there are a couple of Vellum alternatives, however, the biggest one to consider is Atticus. However, PC users can access Vellum software through MacinCloud (which you can learn about here), a paid cloud service that allows you to access a Mac and use the Vellum software through it. This is probably its most significant downside besides its steep price. Is Vellum available for PC? No, unfortunately, Vellum is not available on PC. The developers have gone so far as to say they will never develop Vellum that works on iOS or PC. The actual word “vellum” means “fine calfskin prepared for writing.” It is still used today for some religious texts and archival purposes.ĭoes Vellum work on iPad? No, Vellum does not work on iPad. ![]() However, over time, more authors have shifted to Atticus. It's not only an excellent tool for publishing beautiful books, but it's also helpful in sending out digital copies of books to beta readers.īestselling authors used to use Vellum software for high-performing projects, like James Scott Bell’s gripping thriller Your Son Is Alive and J.T. I started using the software with my very first novel. Vellum works well for all types of authors. Also, Atticus, mentioned above, has a word processor system inside of it. Read this article on the Best Book Writing Software instead, if you need a writing software. Unfortunately, Vellum only works on Apple laptops and desktop computers.Īlthough you can use Vellum as a word processor, I wouldn’t recommend it.įor example, Command + Z only ever undoes one letter at a time. Using Vellum, authors can easily create elegant print books and eBooks that can be quickly exported to the required format. Vellum book formatting software is an intuitive tool from 180g, a software company founded by former Pixar employees. Vellum’s mission is “to create beautiful books.”
![]() The Quran regards pork as unclean, and Nero made it clear that he would not be forced to eat swine. ![]() The plantation overseer distributed cheap, fatty pork to the village of enslaved Blacks beef and poultry were reserved for whites in the big house. Account books from the 1830s at Limerick include notes about Nero, a “Mohammedan” who had demanded a separate diet. Elias Ball’s great-grandson held 250 workers captive on a plantation known as Limerick. Followers of Islam resisted conversion to Jesus-worship, to judge from the life of Nero, another Muslim my ancestors enslaved. My father’s family enslaved thousands of people over a period of 170 years on more than twenty rice plantations near Charleston. ![]() (Elias Ball later made a list of “his” African men and their homelands, calling several people “Mandigoes.”) I can only guess at Fatima’s life story, because after staggering off a slave ship, she appears nowhere else in plantation records, suggesting that she may have died soon after setting foot in America. She was probably no older than twenty, and she may have come from the vicinity of the Senegal River, at the westernmost bulge of the African continent, where large numbers of Muslim Mandinka people were taken captive during the slave trade. Fatima, the third, seems to have held tight to her birth name. According to his ledger, Elias Ball bought three people from a slave seller in 1721 he wrote down English names for two, Plymouth and Hampshire. Her name signals her devotion to Islam-the prophet Muhammad had a daughter called Fatima. “Fatima” is the first name of a worker that appears in a pigskin-covered ledger that Elias Ball had started using for cash transactions, such as buying and selling people. The Ball family had enslaved West Africans and Native Americans for two decades by then, but no records survive from those years. In 1721 an ancestor of mine in South Carolina, Elias Ball, bought a Muslim woman named Fatima on the wharf in the port city of Charleston and brought her twenty-five miles inland to his rice plantation on the Cooper River. |
