The ten-speed bicycle was another game changer, Kennett says. “So all of those Raleigh bicycles, if they were built from 1965 to 1985, they were actually probably made in New Zealand, out of steel that was made in New Zealand from iron sands that were dug up on the west coast of Auckland.” Morrison industries started making Raleigh bicycles in New Zealand, and that continued for more than 20 years. “They reduced the import licenses for cars and bicycles and almost anything that you used steel, so that the steel would be used from Glenbrook instead. In the 1960s the Labour government at the time was looking to create markets for the Glenbrook Steel Mill, near Auckland. “And that pretty much set bicycle design in stone from 1900 through to the 1960s.” “The screws, nuts and bolts, the chains and everything, they're all standardized in the UK and New Zealand copied those standards. This innovation also coincided with the pneumatic tyre which made for a much more comfortable ride, he says.īy 1900 bicycle parts became standardised, he says. So that was the key, the chain and cogs.” “The fact that a bicycle chain was invented, and had two cogs, which were different sizes that enabled you to produce a bicycle that travelled the same forward distance in one pedal revolution as a Penny Farthing with a massive with a massive big wheel. The breakthrough that allowed for this more practical bicycle was the chain, he says. “And so the whole suffragette movement embraced the bicycle in the 1890s and saw that as a way of getting more freedom in their lives.” ![]() “And the clothes that they wore, up until the Rational Dress period around Kate Shepard era, the clothes they wore meant that they actually physically couldn't ride a Penny Farthing, but they could ride a safety bicycle. “That was a real turning point a safety bicycle was not only able to be ridden by many, many more people, but in particular, women didn't ride Penny Farthings. The next big innovation was the ‘safety bicycle’ in the 1890s, he says. And that was the Penny Farthing, and we had the Penny Farthing for the next 20 years.īy the turn of the century New Zealand had around 70 factories manufacturing bicycles, he says, with 25 in Christchurch alone. And therefore they developed bicycles over a period of about three or four years where the front wheel just got bigger and bigger and bigger, until it couldn't be any bigger for a human being with long legs to ride. “People racing them recognised the larger the front wheel, the further they would travel with each revolution of the pedals. The Penny Farthing was a progression from the Velocipede, he says. “A picture of this Michaud-type bicycle ended up in a blacksmith's magazine in Dunedin, and various innovators - foundries, blacksmiths, engineers - they looked at those drawings and they decided to have a go competing against each other, making bicycles which they would then race together a few months later.” And it was it was built by an engineer called Ernest Michaud and Michaud had photos and drawings that slowly travelled the world. “It was essentially a machine with two pedals attached to the front wheel that was very difficult to ride. The Velocipede was one of the earliest bicycles made in New Zealand, he says, from a French design in the 1860s. Kennett says it's a celebration of kiwi ingenuity and passion which continues to this day. ![]() There are options to buy better gear, but you’re less likely to find them or be able to afford them until you can get off planet. And if you’re brave enough to go spelunking, you might even find some weapons and armor down there, but as with the food, salvaging isn’t as reliable. You will likely spawn on a planet with a mine. Same goes for crafting some armor and better weapons.Like I said, this game expects you to try things. I kept waiting around for a tutorial or quest to teach me about farming, which never showed up. And while you can forage and cook what you find, it will eventually become necessary to have a steady source of food that you don’t have to pry from the claws of the local monsters. Food’s important (imagine that) unless you’re playing on casual mode. Whether you want to colonize this planet or not, you’re going to want to build some shelter and grow some food.You can advance the main quest line, yes, but you’re going to be wondering why you’re constantly dying. There is no quest that tells you to do this. Pick things up, open the crafting menu, and yes, actually build the inventing table, which will allow you to access the rest of the crafting interfaces. The game will explain some things but only as you try them. Half the fun is figuring stuff out, but if you’re like me and want to know if you’re doing something the right way or in the right order, it can be a little frustrating. But there’s very little in the way of guidance, especially if you’re into the exploration and colonization aspects. In my opinion, it’s the most fun to do all of these. You really can play however you want roam the galaxy as an explorer, settle down and colonize, hunt outlaws, or beat the big baddie. Although I wouldn’t recommend choosing not to survive. Your main mission, should you choose to accept it, is to gather resources and survive. If you haven’t played Terraria, think Minecraft as a side-scroller. If you’ve played Terraria, you’ll be pretty familiar with a lot of the mechanics, only now you’re in a science fiction setting instead of fantasy. There’s nothing stopping you from ignoring the one who destroyed your planet and doing whatever you want. It’s up to you to gather resources, fix your ship, and head off to destroy the big bad guy. The basic premise here is your home planet has been destroyed, and you’re cast adrift in a broken spaceship. Your only option is to beam down to the planet below and gather the resources you need to repair your ship and set off to explore the vast, infinite universe… Starbound is an extraterrestrial sandbox adventure game! You’ve fled your home, only to find yourself lost in space with a damaged ship. Platform: PC (also available on Mac and Linux) Welcome to “A Beginner’s Guide to Starbound.” So, for everyone else out there who might be hankering for a sci-fi survival and exploration game, I’ve put together some handy tips and hints to get you through the first couple hours when you might be wondering what you’re doing wandering around this planet with a matter manipulator (the sci-fi equivalent of a pickaxe) and a broken sword. Exactly what I asked for, with only a couple kinks that prevented me from connecting with it right away. Which is really too bad, because it’s turned out to be a great game. In fact, it took me four tries and four characters to actually get into it. But holy cow, I found the first few hours frustrating. This one really seemed like a great option for me, with the open gameplay, endless exploration options, and the chance to colonize a galaxy. Which is why I picked up Starbound a few months ago. I play all sorts of things, but I’m especially drawn to games with great storylines and well-written characters or games where I can explore and build. ![]() Sometimes these woodpeckers choose more unusual storage spots: One Arizona landowner discovered that these industrious birds had stashed 485 pounds of acorns in his wooden water tank! In some parts of its range, the Acorn Woodpecker does not create a "granary tree," but instead stores acorns in natural holes and cracks in bark. ![]() Since the acorns are visible, the Acorn Woodpeckers also must defend their larder against potential cache-robbers such as Steller's Jays, White-breasted Nuthatch es, and Spotted Towhee s. Granary maintenance takes up a significant amount of this woodpecker's time, as acorn stocks need to be constantly turned and moved to different holes as they dry and shrink. A Bushel of BirdsĪ group of Acorn Woodpeckers is known as a "bushel" - a perfect description for this bird's unusual habit of squirreling away large quantities of acorns in granaries or "acorn trees." Some of these granary trees have up to 50,000 holes - drilled, stocked, and maintained by extended Acorn Woodpecker families. It's a medium-sized bird, bigger than a Downy Woodpecker and a bit smaller than its close, but more easterly, relative the Red-headed Woodpecker. Unlike the Acorn Woodpecker, though, it doesn't dig storage holes, only wedging seeds, nuts, and other food items deep within existing crevices where other animals cannot reach.The eye-catching Acorn Woodpecker's head is boldly patterned in black, white, and red, punctuated with wild-looking white eyes that give it a clownish look. Like the Pinyon Jay and the Acorn Woodpecker, the Red-bellied Woodpecker caches extra food for lean times. Researchers have noted that male and female Red-bellied Woodpeckers tend to forage in slightly different micro-habitats, with males working along tree trunks and females mostly on the limbs. Interestingly, the male has a wider tongue tip and longer bill than the female, allowing him to reach deeper. This woodpecker species is especially suited to extracting prey from crevices, thanks to a long, sticky, barbed tongue and a chisel-shaped bill. It will drink sap from Yellow-bellied Sapsucker wells, and it's a common sight at backyard feeders, along with Downy, Hairy, and Pileated Woodpeckers. Like other species in the genus, the Red-bellied Woodpecker is an opportunistic feeder, dining on insects, fruits, seeds, and small vertebrates including lizards, frogs, fish, and bird nestlings. In northern parts of their range, Red-bellied Woodpeckers usually raise a single clutch per season, but in the South, they may raise two or even three clutches per year. Both parents also feed the young once they hatch. The female lays three to eight white eggs in the nest cavity, which both parents incubate in turns, with the female on the day shift and the male taking over at night. If a suitable tree isn't available, the Red-bellied Woodpecker will excavate a nest in a utility pole or fence post, or even re-use a cavity dug by another woodpecker. If she joins him, they engage in a mutual tapping display before settling down to excavate a nest cavity, usually in a dead tree or limb. The male initiates courtship by drumming to attract the female's attention. They are seasonally monogamous, meaning that pairs remain together for one nesting season. Red-bellied Woodpeckers pair off in late winter and early spring. 7 The dynamic diversity variation contributed by new cells that survive these pruning processes is unknown. The majority are removed as a result of ‘self-reactive’ depletion in the bone marrow, while those that enter the periphery but fail to successfully enter lymphoid follicles, or experience anergy by recognition of soluble self-antigens, have a much shorter half-life. While new, immature B cells are produced at the rate of ~10 9 per day, only a small percentage of long-lived B cells is retained in the periphery as viable mature B cells. The 10 15 estimate for the naïve B cell repertoire, the first group of antibody-bearing cells seen by an antigen, exceeds the total number of cells of all types in the body by 100 times, the total number of B cells in the body (~10 11) 5 by 10,000 times and more importantly, the number of circulating peripheral naïve mature B-cells (~10 9 based on numbers of CD27 −/IgD + naïve B cells 6) at any one time by a million times. Current estimates of the human antibody repertoire size, although controversial, have been suggested to be ~10 15 members 3, 4 for the naïve repertoire, and as high as 10 18 members based on theoretical combinatorial calculations. But, analysis of actual immune responses suggests that the full antibody repertoire size is not (and probably never has been) accessed since it is far in excess of the ability of elements in the immune system in both time and space to exploit it. 2 suggest that the cellular processes preexisted and were simply co-opted into the immune system, citing as an example the ancient origin of homologues of the complement system (e.g., the C3 molecule, a thioester-containing protein) in protostomes. 1Ī broader question, however, is whether repertoire diversification has run ahead of the cellular mechanisms by which such a diverse membership can be fully exploited. The phylogenetic analysis of antibody genes since the divergence of the jawed vertebrates, in cartilaginous fish, bony fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, and the absence of active recombinase activator genes RAG1 and RAG2 in jawless vertebrates suggests this to be the case. Unless the many pathogens present today have always existed, there should be evidence of increasing ‘fitness’ of antibody diversity and associated mechanisms over time. A critical question is whether the number of potentially dangerous pathogens on earth today has been a gradual accretion over millions of years and, pari passu, provided the driving force for the development of an adaptive immune system with an extensive antibody repertoire, or were they unconnected? The gradual accretion argument, while carrying a certain biological logic, may suffer from the teleological conundrum of the future requirements dictating the strategy of the past, particularly if the rate of pathogen diversification greatly exceeds the ability of the immune control systems to adapt by mutation at the same rate. It is currently thought that the antibody repertoire in the adaptive human immune system evolved to enable it to combat the massive number of foreign antigens derived from pathological bacteria, viruses, toxins, and the like. Finally, a solution that may reconcile the size difference anomaly, which is still a hot subject of debate, is suggested. At the upper bound the question is rather simpler: How can any individual interrogate such an astronomical number of antibody-bearing B cells in a timeframe that is meaningful? This review evaluates the evolutionary aspects of the adaptive immune system, the calculations that lead to the large repertoire estimates, some of the experimental evidence pointing to a more restricted repertoire whose variation appears to derive from convergent ‘structure and specificity features’, and includes a theoretical model that seems to support it. At the lower bound it could be questioned whether this is an insufficient repertoire size to counter all the potential antigen-bearing pathogens. ![]() There are questions that are relevant at both ends of this number spectrum. Estimates of the current size of the human antibody naïve repertoire are also widely debated with numbers anywhere from 10 million members, based on experimentally derived numbers, to in excess of one thousand trillion members or more, based on the different sequences derived from theoretical combinatorial calculations. ![]() Uncertainty in respect of whether the various elements have always served a specific defense function or whether they were co-opted from other organismal roles to form a crude naïve repertoire that then became more complex as combinatorial mechanisms were added. The origins of the various elements in the human antibody repertoire have been and still are subject to considerable uncertainty.

This ensures the perfect meshing of the gears in order to produce a high performance and high power gearing system. Internally, the reel benefits from an advanced aluminium machined gear system. The external features of the Revo Premier Spin are only the beginning. This leaves you with a reel that is not only exceptionally rigid and hardwearing, but also virtually weightless on your rod. The Abu Garcia Revo Premier Spin benefits from this technology on all its external metal parts, as nano-shield technology creates components that are not only 300% stronger than graphite but are also 50% lighter than aluminium. In fact, it is also used in the nuclear energy industry, in order to create high performance components for use within the nuclear reactor. Nano-shielding is a reinforcement process which isn’t exclusive to the reel production market. However, there are a few features that are worthy paying extra attention to, starting with the nano-shield exoskeleton of the Abu Garcia Revo Premier Spin. An incredibly high specification bit of kit, to list all the features on this top end reel would take all day. The Revo family of reels by Abu Garcia is one that has wowed anglers for many generations and this latest spinning reel to take the Revo name is no different.

The content is accurate and presented in a relatively student friendly manner. The textbook covers a full first semester of college calculus and with enough material to also be useful in an AP Calculus AB course for high school calculus teachers. Reviewed by Nicholas Wong, Director of Introductory Mathematics, Virginia Commonwealth University on 8/18/22 I would recommend with no hesitation this textbook as a Calculus Teaching material for any Science and Engineering majors, though it might not be entirely suitable for Math or Physics majors. So far, no grammatical errors were noticed.īecause of the Math content, the text involves basically no culturally sensitive material. The text is free of any interface issues, no navigation problems, drawings are clear and high quality. The topics in the text are presented in a logical, clear fashion. Nevertheless textbook provides some flexibility, to "jump" between the chapters in accordance with the instructor's requirement (syllabus content). Modularity is not a strong side of Math textbooks, since the sequence of sections matters, topics being built one on another. The framework and the structure of the textbook is well architected. The textbook is consistent with its goal. Text is written with simple and understandable language, which is not an easy task for Math textbooks. Though a bit more connection to modern/practical applications would be beneficial. But, the way the math subjects are explained in the Textbook is modern and well up-to-date. Math as a subject is quite pre-defined in terms of factual content and there is really nothing to update. The text is clear and well formulated, It does not cause any bias or misinterpretation. The content is accurate, I never found any factual errors in the Textbook, and provided information was accurate. The index is accurate and easy to navigate, though slight changes in the sequence of chapters might be introduced. I found it much more comfortable for students to work with. So I would say the Textbook is comprehensive but not ideal, which does not reduce its value. Textbook represents a well-thought compromise of comprehensive mathematical material, providing the full amount of knowledge on the given subject, but sometimes omitting the details which might be overburdening for the students, especially for those of non-math major. Reviewed by Mikheil Elashvili, Part-time Faculty, Bridgewater State University on 12/9/22 A visual or applet for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus would be great. The explanation of the average value function was very good. Images for some of the properties of definite integrals could be helpful. The media links I was able to open I thought were very good. Most references to individuals seems neutral. I didn't find any instances of culturally insensitive or offensive text. I did have trouble with some media links but I'm attributing that to the work computers and blocking access to some sites. I was curious why delta x(sub i) was not included in the definition of a Riemann sum but this was later explained in 5.2. Yes, the text is nicely broken into manageable sections that could be rearranged if necessary. The limit rule for sinx/x as x approaches 0 is explained in 2.3, but I would like this to have it's Theorem or Rule box. This would include many of the functions mentioned in chapter 1 (they could be included in the Precalculus review), the existence of a limit, the compound formula and continuous compound formula. There were some bold terms that I would have like to see get a boxed definition. It was formal when necessary but otherwise friendly or not stuffy. I thought the writing was very accessible. Many chapter openers and student projects involve situations that would interest students. I appreciate the informal proofs about limits at infinity along with the formal proofs. It provides greater accuracy but uncertainty about if it's an upper or lower sum. I would also say that about the midpoint rule for finding area under a curve, not necessary but gives the alternative to an upper sum and lower sum. This isn't required but is nice to get exposure to in Calculus 1. The text covers all topics I was expecting except for a discussion about normal lines. ![]() ![]() Reviewed by Pat Miceli, Associate Professor, City Colleges of Chicago on 4/10/23 ![]() Journalism, Media Studies & Communications +. ![]() When Kiara chooses to chase birds alongside Timon and Pumbaa for the fun of it, Kovu believes it to be training. When they do so, it becomes apparent that Kovu has never had any real fun before. Kovu appears briefly in Simba's nightmare, where Scar turns into him and throws Simba off a cliff into the stampede (similar to how Scar killed Mufasa when Simba was young.ĭuring his time at Pride Rock, he tries to attack Simba from behind, only to be unknowingly interrupted by Kiara, who reminds him about his earlier promise to teach her to hunt. Simba chooses to reserve his final judgment until he can learn about Kovu's character and forces Kovu to sleep outside the den away from the pride, where Kiara thanks him for saving her life, to which Kovu comments that Kiara almost dies and also about her lack of hunting abilities and a provoked Kiara asks him to teach her to which Kovu agrees. As repayment, Kovu is allowed to return to the Pride Lands however, Simba still doesn't trust him. Though Simba rejects him initially, it is pointed out that by law he owes Kovu a debt for saving Kiara (through Zazu claims that Simba may want to make an exception in this case). After rescuing Kiara, he asks Simba to allow him to join the Pride Landers and tells him that he can either judge him for who he is or to accuse him for a crime he didn't commit. As part of the plan, he rescues Kiara from a wildfire that has been set by his siblings Nuka and Vitani. When Kovu grows up into a powerful and vengeful young lion, Zira sends him to the Pride Lands to initiate her plan. She then praises Kovu for his brilliance, stating that he has the "same conniving mind" that Scar had. Back home, Zira angrily scolds Kovu for trying to befriend an enemy, but then realizes she may be able to use the budding friendship to allow Kovu to get close to Simba and kill him. The two cubs became friends after an incident with crocodiles, but they were quickly separated by their feuding parents. While wandering about, he met Kiara, Simba's daughter, who had wandered in the Outlands and bumped into him. One day, Kovu escaped from his brother Nuka, who was supposed to be watching him. He later gets a scar across his left eye identical to Scar's that is inflicted by Zira.Īppearances The Lion King II: Simba's Pride His dark eye shades mirror those of his siblings, but his emerald green eyes match no member of his family's.Īs an adult, Kovu's mane is colored a very rich dark brown and matches the dark shades of his elbow tufts and tail tip. He sports a dark brown head tuft and also sports tufts of fur on his elbow joints that match the color of his head tuft and tail tip. His fur is auburn, and his muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all creamy brown in color. Kovu is noted by many to bear a strong resemblance to Scar, though it is a coincidence as it is stated that was not his father. This is shown when he and Kiara stop the attack, and when he meets Kion again, he dose not hold any animosity towards him or the Lion Guard for their past meeting, and he later bonds with him as his brother-in-law. Kovu is willing to put the past behind him, no matter how terrible it is. His initial refusal to fight, a trait he had as a cub, is resurrected when he attempts to stop the attack on the Pride Lands held by Zira. Kovu was manipulated by Zira into believing that Simba was the enemy, which implies that he was at one point cruel and murderous, but this later changes when he befriends Simba and falls in love with Kiara. Despite this, when his mother tells him to do something, he will obey and even approach his older brother, Nuka, should he try to disobey her. Kovu, unlike his mother and siblings, is very relaxed, kind, and friendly, and doesn't necessarily believe in their cruel, violent, and evil ways even as a cub. ![]() As a cub, he was put through harsh training by Zira to prepare him for this task. As a result of Scar's death, Kovu was expected to one day avenge Scar by killing Simba and usurping the throne. His chosen path was put to a halt after Simba took back the throne from Scar and exiled the Outsiders due to their opposition of Simba's rule. However, Scar merely mentored him, and Kovu is of no relation to Scar. As a result, he was referred to by the Outsiders as the Chosen One. He was apparently born at some point during Scar's reign, as Scar hand-picked him to be his successor, which annoyed Nuka. Kovu is the youngest son of Zira, who is a close follower of Scar his two older siblings are Nuka and Vitani. |
