![]() Modern phones all have high-quality cameras, so that wasn’t as much of an issue. Of course, bringing the game to phones presented a unique set of challenges. We feel like mobile is a perfect home because you can get those casual gamers who might check something out on their phone but don’t have a Steam account or console.” “Everyone has eyes and everyone blinks, so we always wanted to design the game to be played by gamers and non-gamers alike. “We always knew that mobile was a great fit and wanted the game to come to mobile because we’re using a mode of control that everybody is inherently familiar with,” Parkes explained. Mobile was the most logical place to go next from Parkes’ point of view. As a result, there are only specific platforms to which it can expand. The PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch don’t have built-in webcams, so GoodbyeWorld couldn’t put Before Your Eyes on those platforms with their desired controls. Parkes admitted that they didn’t really think about if the game needed to have broad appeal and compatibility with every gaming platform. But if there is, that’s what the story is about.Before Your Eyes started as a capstone project at USC. “And if we know emotional success can still happen in this world, if it can go well, we can worry a little bit more as Joel and Ellie move through this story because if there’s no chance it goes well, then no one cares much. They had a great life together,” Mazin said. I mean, it ends sadly, but it’s a happy ending as far as I’m concerned. “One of my goals was to show that there was a way to win. But Mazin told TIME that he wanted to change Bill and Frank’s story to raise the stakes for Joel and Ellie’s journey. Frank runs away from Bill and dies by suicide, leaving a hate note for Bill. In the original story, Bill and Frank get into a bitter fight. That episode was the biggest divergence from the game. Despite spending his entire life identifying as a survivalist, he winds up deciding to die along with his loved one, a radical and in some ways beautiful transformation. Kathleen leads her army into slaughter at the hands of the infected in pursuit of vengeance of her brother.Īnd yet Bill, a loner, only finds happiness once he finds Frank. ![]() He’s so distraught by the turn of events that he then turns the gun on himself. After Sam becomes infected, Henry must shoot him. ![]() It’s just that making that choice-and pinning the entirety of your identity to one other person-often has dire consequences. Henry rats out revolutionaries to FEDRA to help his younger brother Sam Kathleen (a creation of the show) risks the lives of her entire army to go after the one man, Henry, who she blames for her brother’s death Bill will burn the living and undead alike to protect his love, Frank.Įarly in the series, Tess tells Joel, “Save who you can save.” It’s an individualist motto suited to the post-apocalypse where few communities survive, let alone thrive. Again and again, characters in the show choose to save the one person they love even if it means betraying their values. And over the course of nine episodes, it primed its audience for just such an ethical quandary. The series had to find other ways to emphasize the gravity of Joel’s decision.

Moreover, some strains might produce exclusive pyoverdine types, which remain inaccessible for competing non-isogenic strains because they lack a matching receptor-a scenario that could confer resistance to cheating 17, 23.Īlthough it has long been conjectured that the above-mentioned interactions could be important drivers of ecological and evolutionary dynamics in microbial communities 17, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, there is a lack of studies that have systematically examined siderophore-mediated social interactions, and the resulting fitness consequences among natural isolates in replicated communities. Alternatively, pyoverdine non-producers could gain a foothold by exploiting foreign pyoverdines (i.e. ![]() For instance, pyoverdine-producing strains could exploit each other’s pyoverdines 19, 20. This pyoverdine-receptor diversity could facilitate different types of social interactions among co-occurring species. Moreover, while pyoverdine and its cognate receptor are typically specific, strains can also have less specific and/or several different receptors allowing the uptake of heterologous pyoverdines 16, 17, 18, 19. The different Pseudomonas strains often produce slightly different pyoverdines, varying in the length and the composition of the peptide chain 15. The molecule consists of a conserved chromophore (making this molecule naturally fluorescent), an acyl side chain linked to the chromophore, and a variable peptide chain (6–12 amino acids) 13, 14. ![]() Pyoverdine is a secondary metabolite produced via non-ribosomal peptide synthesis. ![]() Laboratory experiments have shown that pyoverdine is a public good that can be shared among cells, and be exploited by cheating mutants 2, 12. Albeit diverse, many fluorescent pseudomonads share an important trait: they can produce and secrete pyoverdine, a siderophore that scavenges insoluble or host-bound iron from the environment 11. soil, aquatic ecosystems and animal hosts) 11. Pseudomonas is a diverse genus of γ-proteobacteria, occupying a wide range of habitats (e.g. Here, we tackle this question by examining the potential for public-goods cooperation and cheating among pseudomonads from natural communities both at the genetic and behavioural level. While highly influential as a general proof of social evolution theory, a key open question is whether cheating and the public-goods dilemma also occur in natural microbial communities 8, 9, 10. This body of work has become a paradigm for the public-goods dilemma, showing how a trait that is beneficial for the group can be selected against by the spread of selfish individuals 7. Many laboratory studies focused on the problem of cheating, a scenario where mutants that no longer contribute to public goods undermine cooperation by capitalising on the public goods secreted by others 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Such public goods include matrix components to build up biofilms, enzymes to digest food, biosurfactants for cooperative swarming and iron-scavenging siderophores 1. Perhaps the most common form of microbial cooperation is the secretion of so-called public goods-compounds that are costly to produce but generate benefits for other cells in the vicinity of the producer 1. While microbes have become model organisms to study the evolution of cooperation in laboratory settings, we still know little about the role of microbial cooperative interactions in complex natural communities. Our findings indicate that there is both selection for cheating and cheating resistance, which could drive antagonistic co-evolution and diversification in natural bacterial communities. While non-producers have genes coding for multiple pyoverdine receptors and are able to exploit compatible heterologous pyoverdines from other community members, producers differ in the pyoverdine types they secrete, offering protection against exploitation from non-producers with incompatible receptors. We find that pyoverdine non- and low-producers co-occur in many natural communities. Here, we show that social interactions mediated by a single shareable compound necessary for growth (the iron-scavenging pyoverdine) have important consequences for competitive dynamics in soil and pond communities of Pseudomonas bacteria. Although bacteria have become model organisms to study social dilemmas in laboratory systems, we know little about their relevance in natural communities. All social organisms experience dilemmas between cooperators performing group-beneficial actions and cheats selfishly exploiting these actions. ![]() ![]() ![]() Surge's Raichu knows Mega Punch instead of Quick Attack, and Thunderbolt instead of Thunder Wave. Ruin Maniacs were given a bit more treatment than the others due to their simularities with Hikers, though they still deviate much at all. These are mostly simple substitutions, difficulty is definitely not the focus here though they may or may not have a stronger team. Some non-important postgame island traners have some very small changes to their lienups to include more Generation 2 Pokemon that fit in with their theme. One or two later Cooltrainers and Black Belts have one Pokemon evolved to a Machamp or Golem. Example: Camper Chris in the last rematch team has an Arcanine but still a Charmeleon both at Level 54, they're equal now. One or two final rematches have a minor change of Pokemon one evolution step higher, if the level allows it. Fixed Cooltrainer Owen, a trainer with a Nidorino that has Nidorina's moveset and vice versa. A couple, for example Gideon, have been done partway because of custom movesets. These Pokemon have been restored to their normal movesets for the level. SelfDestruct is a move that was rid from a whole bunch of trainer lineups for seemingly no real reason except to make the game easier. All references to gambling have been restored on these trainers. Cooltrainer is now Ace Trainer, Cool Couple is now Ace Duo (because Cool=Ace nowadays, Ace Duo is the new canon name for Cool Couple according to X/Y), and Gamers are back to Gamblers. ![]() A few trainer class name alterations have been done. Altering Cave has more of a use now, and has minor aesthetic changes. Some new item stores have been created, which sell Berries and Hold Items. Made the Old Rod a bit more useful than for catching Magikarp. A new “stone” has been created for trade evolutions, these are in place of the Escape Ropes of Rocket Hideout, Silph Co., and Pokemon Mansion. Some less than useful trades have been updated. Mankey can no longer be caught before Brock. For the most part this just combines the two, but there are some differences. LeafGreen's Pokemon location differences have been incorporated into FireRed, and the rest have been added to make all the first 251 available. Intros before Professor Oak and the “previously on your quest” journals have been rid of. Trainer Facing Fix has been implemented. SelfDestruct has been restored on most normal battles. No more Pokemon that don't match a Gym Leader's type, or can't use the Leader's TM. Some Gym Leaders have been altered in minor ways.

Jesus is here to bring about something “different” and The Chosen depicts the difference of Christ in the Gospels through a new, different model of storytelling. However, in the eyes of Jesus he is blessed. To personalize the final Beatitude even more, Jesus turns directly to Matthew and says, “blessed are you when others revile you, and persecute you, and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” Matthew is the disciple most ridiculed for his past as a tax collector and Jesus speaks directly to this experience. ![]() John the Baptism, persecuted for righteousness. Big James and John, who hunger and thirst for righteousness. While Jesus speaks looking down upon his followers, the screen flashes to scenes of each of his disciples, which depict an image of one of the Beatitudes. ![]() As they stand upon a hillside and look down into their camp Jesus begins to recite these powerful words for Matthew to transcribe. Later that evening, in one of the most moving scenes in the series, Jesus brings Matthew to his side to compose the Beatitudes. Here is where the writers creatively include the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount by way of personal encounter. I’m here to start a revolution… a revolution, not revolt.” This exchange leads Jesus to create an introduction to the sermon that will serve as an invitation to the complex and challenging teachings he will propose. With a certain boldness, Matthew tells Jesus there is not enough “good news” in the Sermon! Jesus’ response is striking, “I’m not here to be sentimental and soothing. At one point, Jesus asks Matthew for his honest opinion about the sermon in draft form. As Jesus prepares his great Sermon on the Mount he takes Matthew along with him to write down the details. Jesus and Matthew have a similar encounter in the finale. For example, in episode 1 of season 2, Jesus reveals to John a bit about his identity as the divine Son of God, referencing the name God speaks to Moses through the burning bush: “I AM WHO I AM.” This episode finishes with a flash-forward to John composing the prologue to his Gospel, informed by this encounter: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Jesus seems to want this encounter to shape how John will humanly write about him in his Gospel. One of the creative moves the writers of The Chosen make is that they fill in the gaps of how specific passages of scripture might have come to be. It is these personal encounters between Jesus and his followers throughout the first two seasons that contextualizes the season 2 finale. Each has an encounter with him-completely personalized-that gives their lives a new horizon and a decisive direction to walk in. Each has a background, troubled in its own way. The women and men he calls to follow him each have their own story and experience. The image of Jesus comes to view primarily through the eyes of his disciples. Again, this is something different and refreshing in the world of Christian media. It is the first multi-season show about the life of Jesus and the number one crowdfunded media project in history, not to mention each episode is available to view for free. The Chosen is something different, and as Jesus says in one of the episodes, “get used to different.” Check out this article from The Atlantic if you need further proof. ![]() The internet is full of similar responses. He is not the only one to share this kind of sentiment. The above quote comes from one of my students.

If you can’t get all the spines or barbs out, don’t worry. You can also use something sticky like duct tape to tug the barbs out of your skin. A magnifying glass comes in handy for this work, too. He’s found that tiny tweezers such as those that come with a Swiss Army Knife are ideal for plucking stubborn glochids the larger tweezers that many people keep in their bathrooms seem to be less suited for grasping the tiny prickles. “They’re going to bother you for awhile,” he admits. He then scrapes the bristles off with a knife, although this technique can leave the tips behind in your skin. When Puente-Martinez finds himself in this situation, he likes to soften the tiny barbs by running the afflicted limb under warm water. The tiny glochids are particularly tricky to remove, and it’s easy to end up with dozens or more stuck in your skin if you touch a cholla or related cactus. “Depending on the lighting, you might not recognize that it’s a spiny as it is until you feel it.” Cactuses are so good at blending in with their surroundings that people sometimes fail to notice them while they are out hiking, Trager says. Some are curved downwards so that any water that condenses on them will drip onto the soil around the roots, while a few have a cork-like texture that absorbs water.Īnd spines can camouflage a cactus from hungry animals, as with the flattened, twisted spines of the paperspine fishhook cactus that resemble blades of grass. This ensures that light is distributed over the plant’s entire surface, even if it is growing in a shady spot. They can also diffuse light similarly to a photography umbrella, says John Trager, curator of desert collections at the Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California. A coating of spines can serve as shade by day or insulation by night. These fibrous structures, which are derived from leaves, do a range of other jobs as well. “Every time I pulled one, there was this little stream of blood coming out of the hole that was pretty bad.”Ĭactus needles make a pretty great armor, but they aren’t just there to stab you. “You could see that they were really deep inside his lip,” he recalls. Luckily, Puente-Martinez has had a lot of practice figuring how to remove cactus needles from different body parts. Sure enough, most of the cactus flew off-including one piece that shot straight up and became stuck in the man’s upper lip. ![]() He tried kicking his foot out to dislodge the spiny hitchhiker. ![]() As they strolled through a cholla forest, one of the group members discovered a chunk of cactus stuck to the tip of his shoe.

Easy-to-use software: Each NAS manufacturer has its own operating system.A NAS that includes hardware encryption acceleration offers read and write speeds that are much faster than those of a model that relies solely on software encryption. (It can also protect sensitive data on a NAS that’s on a larger network, or one that attackers could target.) Some NAS boxes can also encrypt data before backing it up to a cloud service, providing an extra level of protection in case the cloud service is hacked. Hardware-level encryption acceleration: File encryption is good to use even if you access your NAS exclusively inside your home network, because it protects your data if someone breaks into your house and steals your NAS or your disks.Most NAS devices released within the past year have at least 2 GB of RAM, so we stuck with that as our minimum. CPU and RAM: We preferred a reasonably powerful dual-core Intel Celeron processor, but we didn’t rule out ARM-based configurations as long as their processing speeds were similar.If you opt for a cheaper model, you usually sacrifice read and write speeds or end up with a less-polished operating system. More than that, and you’re entering more complex and powerful business-class territory. Price: For home use, you don’t need to pay more than around $250 to $350 for a two-bay NAS (not including the price of the hard drives, unfortunately).Single-drive NAS devices don’t provide this sort of data protection, and NAS boxes with more bays introduce more complex RAID configurations, such as RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10, that require more planning and research to configure. ![]() ![]() As a result, your data remains safe and accessible even if a drive fails. This setup gives you half the NAS’s actual amount of storage for files: For example, a NAS with two 8 TB drives in RAID 1 still has 8 TB of total space available ( equivalent to about 300 Blu-rays), not 16 TB. For most home uses, a two-drive NAS is just right because it protects your data by mirroring the contents of one drive to the other (a configuration known as RAID 1, or a mirrored array). Two drive bays: Hundreds of NAS devices are available, and you can find models with one, two, four, eight, or more drive bays. ![]() ![]() Position players were the majority with seven infielders, six outfielders, five pitchers, as well as two receivers.
