![]() ![]() The player markers are painted green, yellow, red, blue, and purple, while the treasure chests are all brown. Wooden Markers: A variety of wooden markers are used in the game. Some of the arrows can set a little looser than desired, but overall these are a nice hidden movement device. A plastic arrow is set by the player to show desired location. They're circular cardboard pieces, with simple icons for each of the six islands. The back of the boards is printed with the full-color picture from cover, but only serves aesthetic purposes.Ĭaptain's Wheels: These are secret movement devices which each player uses to indicate which island he's going to each turn. Default values and costs for upgrading are all carefully marked, improving playability. Individual tracks mark the status of four ship sections: sails, crew, cannons, and hull. The artwork is, again, brightly colorful. The sheets actually would have been better if they weren't glossy, because the gloss can cause the Strength Rings that sit on the sheets to slide. Player Boards: Each player has a full-color pirate ship game board, printed on glossy card stock. ![]() The entire board is printed on heavy, textured cardboard. There's a place for a pile of cards at each island, an extra space for tavern cards on Tavern Island, and a fame score board going around the edge. As much as anything, it's a marker holder. Game Board: This four-panel board has nice full-color artwork showing the six islands and Pirate's Cove. Pirate's Cove comes with a set of very high quality and beautiful components: Pirate's Cove was previously published in Germany as Piratenbucht, though it's actually an American design. Special Features: Unusual sandstone rock formations line the shoreline at Pirates Cove.Pirate's Cove is a casual game of swashbuckling adventure by Paul Randles and Daniel Stahl. Bald eagles, Great blue herons and scores of others use the park for foraging and resting. Watch for areas of flattened grass that otters have used for slides or sun-bathing.īirdwatchers will find Wilson’s warblers, Pacific-slope flycatchers, Black oystercatchers, White crowned sparrows and other species breeding in the park. A stroll around the Pylades Trail in the park will likely result in a sighting or two. River otters also frequent the park and are most easily seen in the early morning. The fortunate may catch glimpses of harbour porpoises or orcas, as well as Gray and Humpback whales in the summer. Common marine mammals include harbour seals (year-round) and Steller’s and California sea lions (common from late August through the mid-May). Pirates Cove Marine offers a variety of excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Today, this intertidal area is still abundant with a variety of shellfish and marine life. The largest of these shell refuse heaps underlies the present campground. Several middens in the park indicate First Nations use of the land dating back more than 3,000 years. Its settlement history ranges from extensive First Nations use to a homestead for the Aquarian Foundation, a religious cult led by Brother XII, who convinced 8,000 followers to give up their worldly possessions and follow him to De Courcy Island in the 1920s and early 1930s. This scenic marine park has a colourful natural and cultural history. Pirates Cove Marine offers a sheltered anchorage for boaters, as well as two dinghy docks – one on either side of the cove. Located off Nanaimo on south Vancouver Island, the park protects a natural environment perfect for a variety of recreational activities, including kayaking, camping, picnicking, swimming, hiking, beach exploration and wildlife viewing. ![]() Beautiful and serene Pirates Cove Marine Provincial Park on De Courcy Island is a popular destination for boaters exploring the southern Gulf Islands. ![]()

They're able to read and assess human emotions with great accuracy, can understand some language and are even capable of making rudimentary signals. Over the millennia, they have evolved to be cooperative animals, endowed with the neural machinery to understand abstract ideas and complex social dynamics. Far from being dumb creatures with good noses, as previously thought, they're actually smart in specific ways that make them ideal human collaborators and companions. The insights emerging are confirming things many dogs owners have long suspected and are fundamentally changing what scientists thought they knew about dogs. A new international consortium called the ManyDogs Project, with researchers in Austria, Poland, Italy, Canada, the U.S., Argentina and a number of other countries, recently completed its first major collaborative study and plans to publish it later this year. Today there are Canine Cognition labs at Yale, Duke, University of Arizona, University of Portsmouth, Barnard College, University of Florida and a wide array of leading scientific institutions around the globe-and the study of dogs in general is one of the fastest growing areas in the broader field of animal behavioral science. ![]() ![]() Read more Puppy love: Newsweek readers share adorable photos of their furry best pals ![]() ![]() ![]() The recorded video is automatically backed up when your PC is connected to your network.Ĭapture Video More Clearly - Even at Night, in Any ConditionĮvery camera in Logitech's new video security lineup captures high-definition 720p video and features a 130-degree wide-angle lens, making it easier for you to recognize the faces of potential intruders or the license plates of suspicious vehicles.

To hide the image board, we click on on the menu bar, and uncheck the "Show Image Board" button. An extra bezier point has been added towards the nose of the surfboard. This will give gentle flowing curves and minimise any lumps and bumps. Tip: Use the minimal number of Bezier points to adjust the outline of your board. You can always use the "Undo last curve change" keys (curved arrows) on the menu bar to undo any changes you've made. Play around and and don't be afraid to make mistakes. We can change the angle of the board outline by moving the red and yellow tangent points associated with the blue Bezier point. We can add Bezier points by clicking on the “Add Point” button on the menu bar, hovering our mouse point over the section of the bottom board line where we want to position the point and clicking the left mouse button. We can also click on the bezier point and use our arrow keys to move it around. We release the mouse button to release the point when we’re happy with its position. To move an existing point, we hover the mouse pointer over it, hold down the left mouse button, and move the point to where we want it. Existing bezier points can also be moved. Bezier points can be added to the bottom curve of the plan shape to get it match the shape of the image board. We'll do this by moving the bezier points (blue dots) which are located on the board outline. The next step of the process is to adjust the board outline.

Other than that, so long as the Windows volume control is set to 100%, there’s a good chance that the sound will be output bit perfect. That is not something that you’re going to want to do manually every time you play a different format of song, and changing it still doesn’t stop other system sounds from being mixed into your music. Windows settings > System > Sound > Sound Control Panel (up near the top right) > Double-click on “Speakers E30” > Advanced tab > choose output format from dropdown list Likewise, if you’re playing some 192kHz high resolution audio. See the problem already? If you’re playing a CD, its native 44.1kHz sampling is being converted by Windows to 48kHz. Any audio that the computer plays, regardless of source, including music, system sounds, YouTube clips or whatever, will all be mixed together and output in that format. It set a default sound output of 32 bits and 48kHz. When I plugged the Topping E30 into one of my Windows computers, the computer took only a few seconds to complete installing it and it made this the default sound output device. If you’re using Windows 10 version 1703 – that’s the so-called Creator’s Update from 2017 – or later, you may not need to install special drivers. I’ve chosen this because it’s easier than some other player software to set up, works on Windows and MAC computers (and Linux as well), and can provide confirmation that the signal is going through to the DAC perfectly. And for music playback we’ll be using the latest version of JRiver Media Center. This is seriously affordable, yet offers the kind of performance you’d expect from a unit costing ten times as much. So the notification can ring right in the middle of that aria that you had, until then, been enjoying.įor our example DAC, we’re going to use the quite remarkable Topping E30 Desktop USB DAC, pictured at the top of this page. What if your music is running at a different sampling rate to the notification? Not a problem: Windows just resamples all the audio to one fixed sample rate. It needs to mix that notification bell or sound into your music. So, while you are playing some music, Windows might want to alert you to incoming email or some other important matter. ![]() A computer is a multipurpose device that can run many processes and programs at the same time. While many of us use computers for high end audio, that’s not what they are designed for. Why does Windows mess with your sound?īefore we start, understand that it’s right and proper that Windows takes control over audio and sometimes plays around with it. So, let’s see how you can set up a DAC with Windows so that it gets bit-perfect sound from your computer. But are you getting the best that it can deliver? My guess is that most people using DACs on their computer are getting less than perfect sound because the sound is being processed by Windows in some way before it even gets to the DAC. You can just plug most of them into most computers and straight away you’ll get a marked improvement in sound quality. There are lots of fine DACs available for this job, priced from just a few tens of dollars up to many thousands. But a computer’s audio output is mediocre at best, so you will need to add a USB Digital to Analogue converter. It can stream high-resolution Master Quality Authenticated music from TIDAL, or ultra-high-resolution music from its own storage, or from your network storage. A Windows computer can make a great source for high-fidelity sound. ![]() ![]() This is epitomized in feng shui, which are architectural principles outlining the design plans of buildings in order to optimize the harmony of man and nature through the movement of Chi, or “life-generating energy.” In order to maximize the flow of Chi throughout a building, its design plan must utilize specific shapes. One of the cornerstones of Chinese folk religion is the relationship between man and nature. Due to the Buddhist belief in impermanence, the mandala is eventually dismantled and is ritualistically released into the world. Tibetan Buddhists believe that anyone who looks at the mandala will receive positive energy and be blessed. Next, monks purify the grid to prepare it for the constructing of the deities before sand is finally added. The mandala is then divided into thirteen equal parts not by a mathematical calculation, but through trial and error. The lines, known as Brahman lines, must overlap at the precisely calculated center of the grid. In order to create the mandala, two lines are first drawn on a predetermined grid. Tibetan Buddhists create mandalas out of sand that are then ritually destroyed. Mandalas can be created with a variety of mediums. This is because Buddhists believe that deities can actually manifest inside the mandala. Located within the geometric configurations are deities or suggestions of the deity, such as in the form of a symbol. In Buddhism, it is made up of concentric circles and squares that are equally placed from the center. Mandalas are made up of a compilation of geometric shapes. I would go so far as to say that geometry not only deserves a place at the table alongside physics and cosmology, but in many ways it is the table." Natural forms Geometry's role in this may be less obvious, but is equally vital. Physics and cosmology have been, almost by definition, absolutely crucial for making sense of the universe. "Lest one conclude that geometry is little more than a well-calibrated ruler – and this is no knock against the ruler, which happens to be a technology I admire – geometry is one of the main avenues available to us for probing the universe. Harvard mathematician Shing-Tung Yau expressed a belief in the centrality of geometry in 2010: Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) believed in the geometric underpinnings of the cosmos. ![]() In modern times, the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss adapted this quote, saying "God arithmetizes". ![]() Plutarch attributed the belief to Plato, writing that "Plato said god geometrizes continually" ( Convivialium disputationum, liber 8,2).

The user is visually impaired, and is using a screen reader to read the web out to them.So, why would you ever see or need alt text? It can come in handy for a number of reasons: If for example our image name was spelled dinosooooor.jpg, the browser wouldn't display the image, and would display the alt text instead: The easiest way to test your alt text is to purposely misspell your filename.
