![]() ![]() I feel this is probably the most underrated switch "port" so to speak, other than the fact i found they made toad way too fast in the main game (i rolled off edges several times as him as he now accelerates uncontrollably if you try to run) i think its still very fun, bowsers fury was also fun too and the giga bell scenes are pretty cool. Not more so than the main game but it can still be time consuming to get them all regardless. Im not doing crown world this time around as the mystery house there practically murdered both my patience and my stamina when i played on wii u, but if amiibo usage is allowed in crown world i might be up for cheesing it later only because this is the most tedious bonus level ive played in the franchise (might even be worse than the perfect run in mario galaxy 2 as i gave up on wii u here, it simply became too exhausting).ġ00 cat shines in bowsers fury was just for a particularly identical bonus ending that had a few cosmetic differences and was more notably just a harder version if the final boss, so i think the 100% was better for challenge rather than reward. but remember, with joy cons and one pro controller its easily possible to fake 2-player with one console (similarly to wii u) if you dont want to give up one life in order to be able to use the fire flower for these (im never short on lives so i do this anyway but if youre low on lives its probably safer to fake co op with two controllers). ![]() so if youre finding yourself pinned, it does wonders and completionists dont have to worry about losing shiny stars if some green star locations are just getting frustrating trying to reach.Īnother very notable thing about invincible bell vs invincible leaf is that there are very, very few green stars in this game that cat powers cannot reach unlike a leaf, so all youll have to watch for is some torches that need a fire flower. this is a pretty big gamechanger right here for people wanting ti 100% and keep their shiny stars, as unlike the invincibility leaf there is no penalty at all for using the cat mario amiibo. So obviously this is super broken, but its amazing for casual runs, all any% runs on both modes and heres something else i saw after using it a couple times in world star: you will not lose shimmering stars on your save file from using the cat mario amiibo regardless of how much you use it. you get the same boosts but with cat powers, so you can cheese numerous different green star locations in 3d world and in bowsers fury youll find yourself never needing to hunt down cat powers since if used enough you can very easily bank a full 5 at the beginning of the game. now this might seem like a mild knock off of the invincibility leaf that was in a few mario games but its actually pretty different aside from the nonstop invincibility it provides. so what does it do exactly? its actually simple, tap this and you can get a special white-gold striped cat bell that turns you into white cat form. ![]() My cat mario amiibo recently came, and its pretty helpful if youre ever in a pinch. ![]()

In order to understand the origin of absorption and emission lines and the spectra that contain these lines, we need to first spend some time on atomic physics. That is, they were formulated on the basis of experiments. Like Kepler's laws of planetary motion, these are empirical laws. You can also summarize Kirchoff's laws in a diagram, like this one:Ĭredit: Penn State Astronomy & Astrophysics A low density, cool gas in front of a hotter source of a continuous spectrum creates a DARK LINE or ABSORPTION LINE spectrum.A low density, hot gas seen against a cooler background emits a BRIGHT LINE or EMISSION LINE spectrum.A luminous solid, liquid, or dense gas emits light of all wavelengths.The differences in these spectra and a description of how to create them were summarized in Kirchhoff’s three laws of spectroscopy: In the early days of spectroscopy, experiments revealed that there were three main types of spectra. Other astronomical sources (and also light sources you can test in a lab) are found to create spectra that show little intensity at most wavelengths but a few precise wavelengths where a lot of intensity is seen. These gaps in the spectrum where there is no light emitted are called absorption lines. If you look at the two spectra of stars, you see there are black bands in the image of the sun’s spectrum and areas in the plot where the intensity goes to zero or nearly zero in the spectrum of the blue straggler. Recall that blackbody radiation is continuous with no breaks. For example, consider the two spectra you looked at on a previous page: the sun and a blue straggler star. In reality, few objects emit exactly a blackbody spectrum. However, I have stressed a few times that blackbody radiation is only emitted by an “ideal” or “perfect” radiator. Studying blackbody radiation is a useful exercise. ![]() ![]() The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that women take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily at least one month before getting pregnant and during pregnancy. Not having enough can cause spina bifida, a potentially disabling condition that happens when the spinal cord doesn’t form properly. Kaylen Silverberg, a Texas-based fertility specialist, says one key difference between Geritol and prenatal vitamins is the amount of folic acid: There’s more folic acid in a prenatal vitamin.įolic acid is a B vitamin that plays a key role in a baby’s early spinal development. ![]() What’s the difference between Geritol and a prenatal vitamin?ĭr. However, since the vitamin and mineral formulas sold under the Geritol label aren’t designed for fertility, they don’t have the same makeup as a prenatal vitamin. Iron is also found in foods such as red meat, beans, green leafy vegetables, and more, so if someone has a balanced diet, they may already take in adequate iron. Women also need iron during pregnancy when their blood volume increases up to 40 percent. A supplement can help replace what’s lost. When a woman has her period, she loses iron. The mineral is also needed for growth, development, and the functioning of certain cells. Iron is needed for the body to produce hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that moves oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. ![]() One possibility for people thinking the multivitamin will help them get pregnant is because of its iron content. ![]() We don’t make any fertility claims, and we’re not quite sure how the rumor got started.” In fact, the brand itself says that any claims that Geritol will boost fertility are false: “There is, unfortunately, no evidence that specifically taking Geritol can increase your fertility or your chances of getting pregnant. But there isn’t any medical evidence to suggest that Geritol, in particular, will help you conceive. Having the right amount of vitamins and minerals is an important part of getting pregnant, as it helps to increase your overall health status. ![]() ![]() ![]() There were items and art that moved me enough to take notice. I found quite a few examples of when I found things around me that were more inspirational than everything else. I looked through my personal photos to see when and where I was inspired to stop. The quilt instructions are well written with supporting diagrams and the photographs are stunning! ![]() This book is appropriate for every level of sewer from beginner to expert. There are tips for everything from how to choose colors to how to care for your fabrics. Heather not only shares tips on finding inspiration but then guides you through the process of how to turn that awakening into your own piece of quilting art. Some of the most creative times are when we allow ourselves to just be. This book is about more than designs or sewing. She takes the reader through the steps of seeing things that might become overlooked in today’s world of distraction. Art and quilts are everywhere!Īrtist, quilter, and designer Heather Jones has taken the everyday inspirations and gathered them for her new book “Quilt Local.” The book opens her vision of how everyone can explore and expand their creative spirit in what might seem ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary. Their color palette is created from everyday life experiences to enhance the piece they are creating whether it is a painting, drawing, sculpture or a quilt. Just use the code QALBOOKSALE.Ask a room of artists, “Where do you find your inspiration?” and most likely the answer will be “Everywhere!”Īrtists and quilters find inspiration in bricks, walls, carpet and plants. I am offering 25% off the book for those joining the QAL. If you don’t already have the book and ruler, please ask for it at you LQS! You can find them here and here. You could also uses up leftover strips that are just laying around. If you are wondering if you happen to have the right fabric in your stash, the wall quilt uses 1 Layer Cake and the Runner uses a minimum of 5 – 10″ squares and some 3″ x 20″ strips for the border. Is anybody interested? If you are, please leave me a comment or send me an email at This will help me know if I should write up the cutting instructions for the runner or not. I will put together a cutting list for the runner, and you can follow along in the book for the instructions. ![]() For those who would like to quilt along with me, you can make either project (or both). The runner pattern isn’t in the book, because I finished it well after the book was published. If anybody is interested in this pattern, it can be found in my Angles With Ease 2 book and uses my Triangler ruler. No matter if I set the runner on the floor or table, he is all over it! It looks so cheery on my table, despite the bleak winter outside right now.Īnd – if you wonder why I have trouble getting blog pictures – This is why. I like how this runner can be used for Christmas, but can also be kept out for the Winter. Winter is so dreary in Minnesota, that I find I make an abundance of winter quilts to help cheer up my house at this time of year. It was really fun to be able to make something with those extra blocks. I had a few tree blocks leftover, so I made them into this runner I also thought I would do a little QAL (quilt along) – if anybody wanted to join me. In between, I am busy being a mother and finishing my newest book that I am working on. I will still be posting on Instagram a little bit. So what does that mean for the new year? I will still by stopping in here and there. I guess that makes me very bad at marketing, but I have a lot of fun while being bad at marketing □ I get so overwhelmed by all of those things I should be doing that I don’t know where to start and I just go back to the sewing machine.

How to Install Presets in the Free Lightroom Mobile App How to Sync Lightroom Presets from CC to Mobile.How to Install Presets in the Free Lightroom Mobile App.Unlike the Evil biomes, The Hallow doesn't cause NPC housing to become uninhabitable.This can be done by deconstructing desert torches into hardened pearlsand blocks and torches with the shimmer liquid found in the Aether cave biome. With the 1.4.4 Labor of Love update, it is possible to create an artificial Hallow biome in pre-hardmode.However, the Pearlstone present can still produce small fragments of Hallow biome, which can show pink water and enrage Plantera. ![]() Due to the Jungle being mostly Mud, this can lead to there not being enough Hallow blocks present to consistently spawn the biome's enemies. Again, on beginning Hardmode the Hallow can overlay the Jungle, and this will convert stone but not Jungle grass.Based on the source code, the Dryad considers the Hallow to be "good", as opposed to the Corruption or Crimson, which she considers "bad." However, she does not consider the world to be "pure" until all three are eradicated.The Hallow will sometimes not spawn on the Surface only underground.The Hallow can spread to Grass and Flower Walls.The Corruption or Crimson is unable to overlap the Hallow.However, oddly, Lightning Bugs will still spawn during night.Making an artificial Hallow biome in a pre-Hardmode world (for example via Blue Solution) will change the background and music, though no Hallow enemies will spawn.In Hardmode, all enemies in the Hallow have a chance of dropping a Hallowed Key.An artificial Hallow biome requires at least 125 / 100 Hallowed blocks, such as Hallowed grass, Pearlstone, Pearlsand, or Pink Ice.Although their color is different, Cacti still drop Cactus when cut, and Waterleaf plants are also able to grow.įor more information, see NPC happiness. It is very similar to the Hallow: the music theme is the same, the enemies are the same (except for the Light Mummy and Crystal Thresher), and the background is slightly different. When the Hallow spreads through desert, it becomes Hallowed Desert. If Hallow is introduced into a pre-Hardmode world, its spread will be very limited, similarly to the evil biomes. This can result in areas where the Hallow and an evil biome intertwine closely. Hallow can convert Crimson and Corruption into grass blocks, but otherwise cannot convert blocks already claimed by an evil biome. Defeating Plantera for the first time reduces the speed of the Hallow's spread by 50*1/2 (50%). This means that it slowly converts certain susceptible tiles that are in the vicinity of existing Hallowed blocks. The Hallow spreads itself, similar to the evil biomes. ![]() ![]() The Dryad can tell the player the percentage of Hallow and Corruption/Crimson in the world. The Hallow, unlike Crimson and Corruption, cannot spread through mud areas such as those found in Jungles or Glowing Mushroom biomes. See below or the Biome spread page for more details. Hallow can also be seeded in new areas via Hallowed Seeds, Holy Water, or Blue Solution. Once generated, Hallow spreads in a manner similar to the evil biomes Pearlstone, Pearlsand, and dirt blocks growing Hallowed grass will spread Hallow to neighboring blocks, causing Hallow enemies to spawn over ever-larger areas. If areas of Jungle or Glowing Mushroom biome are included in the conversion area, Stone Block will be converted but the (mud based) grasses will be unaffected. This biome can replace preexisting sections of the world's " evil biome" ( Corruption or Crimson). It is generated along with a large Underground Hallow biome upon beating the Wall of Flesh and entering Hardmode. The Hallow does not exist in newly-generated worlds. The Underground Hallow biome can be found directly beneath a naturally-generated Hallow biome. It is characterized by pastel-colored fairytale graphics, with colorful cyan-colored grass, multicolored trees, and a large rainbow in the background, as well as similarly whimsical-looking (though dangerous) enemies. I can help you with painting that if you want. Once you enter hallowed land, you will see a rainbow in the sky. ![]() ![]() ![]() With an average discount of 39 off, shoppers can get irresistible coupons up to 80 off. ![]() The best coupon available right now is 80 off from 75 Off Flash Sale Promo Codes.

Accidentally activating one of these trap features could easily move you from 60 FPS to 1 FPS. The spec said that every video card had to support every OpenGL feature, but it didn't say it had to support them in Hardware, so there were certain early-90s features that 00s card vendors had decided nobody really uses, and so if you used those features the driver would render the screen, copy the entire screen into regular RAM, perform the feature on the CPU and then copy the results back to the video card. It had all these leftover functions from the SGI IRIX era, and then it had this new shiny OpenGL 2.0 way of doing things with the shaders and everything and not only did this mean you basically had two unrelated APIs sitting side by side in the same API, but also a lot of the OpenGL 1.x features were traps. OpenGL was kind of… large, at this point. But implementing OpenGL on mid-00s mobile silicon was rough. DirectX was never in the running for these applications. Handheld devices were starting to get to the point it made sense to do 3D rendering on them (or at least, to do 2D compositing using 3D video card hardware like desktop machines had started doing). They ran software.Ģ004 Pretty shortly after this was another change. Suddenly video cards weren't specialized rendering tools anymore. ![]() This opened things up a lot, but more importantly it set card design on a kinda strange path. The software would upload a computer program in a simple C-like language (upload the actual text of the program, you weren't expected to compile it like a normal program)³ into the video driver at runtime, and the driver would convert that into configurations of ALUs (or whatever the card was actually doing on the inside) and your program would become that chunk of the pipeline. The (1) boxes got collapsed into the "Vertex Shader", and the (2) boxes became the "Fragment Shader"². Notice some of the boxes above are yellow? Those boxes became replaceable. This was obnoxious, so eventually "programmable shaders" were introduced. ![]() What if you want some other feature the ARB didn't think of, or want to do shadows or fog in a unique way that makes your game look different from other games? Sucks to be you. If you had shadows, or fog, it was because OpenGL or an extension had exposed a feature for drawing shadows or fog. Rust / C++ / Posthuman Intersecting TetrahedronĪ history of graphics APIs (You can skip this)Įach box in the "pipeline" had some dials on the side so you could configure how each feature behaved, but you were pretty much limited to the features the card vendor gave you.I don't know what a NPM is I Just wanna write CSS and my stupid little script tags.A history of graphics APIs (You can skip this). ![]() If you are a programmer, let me tell you what I think this means for you. But probably not because WebGL wasn't the only problem there. It might get us closer to a world where you can just play games in your web browser as a normal thing like you used to be able to with Flash. If you are not a programmer, this probably doesn't affect you. On phones, it won't be in Chrome until later this year and Apple I don't know. (All of this refers to desktop computers. By the end of the year WebGPU will be everywhere, in every browser. If you click here, and you see a rainbow triangle, your web browser has WebGPU. Chrome 113 shipped in the final minutes of me finishing this post and should be available in the "About Chrome" dialog right this second. WebGPU is a little bit irritating- but only a little bit, and it is massively less irritating than any of the things it replaces. In fact it is so good I think it will replace Vulkan as well as normal OpenGL, and become just the standard way to draw, in any kind of software, from any programming language. It is so good I think it will also replace Canvas and become the new way to draw 2D in web browsers. It is, in my opinion, very good actually. That means it is the new way to draw 3D in web browsers. ![]() |
