Chill: Put the mixing bowl, and even the beater blades in the freezer for 5 minutes or in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.For the stabilized one, prepare cold water and unflavored powdered gelatin.Īlso, for a chocolate-flavored version, add cacao powder in your grocery list. That’s all! The vanilla is even optional so you can make this with just two ingredients.īut if you are planning to make a stabilized one and a flavored version of it, then, you will need a bit more than that. It is made of heavy cream, granulated or powdered sugar, and vanilla. You can even freeze it! What is whipping cream made of? You just need to add a magic ingredient and it will last for days in the refrigerator. The basic type that uses only the three ingredients will last in the fridge for about an hour, a maximum of two hours.īut you can work around this by making a stabilized version. With this, the heavy one will make sturdier peaks than the other. They both make good bases for this recipe, but the latter has at least 6% more fat content than the former. Is whipping cream the same as heavy cream? What makes a successful whip is when the resulting mixture forms soft peaks. The sweetness depends on how much sugar you add, and it is highly customizable. It is the result of mixing cold cream and sugar at high speed and low temperature, incorporating as much air as possible to make it light and fluffy. Also, as with any homemade recipe, you can alter the sweetness level depending on your taste. Having this made on your own also helps you minimize losses – you can prepare as little or as many as you need. It may even be faster to prepare this than allow store-bought ones to thaw. This is a classic recipe that will only need three ingredients and a few minutes of whipping. Yes, you can buy it in grocery stores, but homemade is better, healthier, and cheaper! Therefore, making it at home is a win-win situation. Without it, a lot of desserts will become boring and plain-looking. After tasting Gelfling essence, he became much less guarded when a new batch was imminent, uncharacteristically licking his lips in full view of his unsuspecting victims.Īfter the death of SkekSo, SkekZok becomes less jovial and more single minded in his quest to exterminate the Gelfling, demanding their immediate extermination rather than harvesting them for their essence. He is equally enthusiastic in dispensing punishments, boasting that he had a knife reserved for the sole purpose of skinning SkekTek alive and taunting him when he was subjected to the Peeper beetle. Enamored with pomp and ceremony, he sees any event favorable to the Skeksis as an opportunity to invent a new ritual. Like SkekOk, he behaved much more diplomatically than other Skeksis like SkekVar or SkekLach when in the presence of Gelfling allies, disapproving of his less cultured comrade's disregard for etiquette. His status among the Skeksis was gained through lies and invented prophecies. SkekZok has a proud and pompous demeanor, and is the most zealous of the Skeksis, viewing their laws and rules as absolute and immutable. He is mostly seen donning a large hook-like horn-shaped hat with an ornate base. SkekZok wears an elaborate golden robe with a large collar and a pellegrina cloak his regalia is all adorned with golden crescent ornaments and a red interior. SkekZok is notably the tallest of the Skeksis, with "a skull-like head and pale blue hypnotic eyes". 4.1 The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.3.1 The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. In The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, he was performed by Victor Yerrid, with Keegan-Michael Key providing his voice, the latter of whom also portrayed Pupa in Let's Be Cops, Alpha Wolf in Storks, Kamari in the live-action The Lion King remake, Gustafson in Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, Bjornson the Cheesemonger in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Honest John in the live-action Pinocchio remake and Wendell in Wendell & Wild. In the film, he was performed by the late Jim Henson, with the late Jerry Nelson providing his voice, both of whom also respectively performed and voiced SkekSo in the same film. He leads the Skeksis in their daily rituals of drawing power from the Dark Crystal, enforces Skeksis law and serves as the Emperor's advisor. He is the Skeksis Ritual Master and his Mystic counterpart is UrZah the Ritual Guardian. SkekZok is the secondary antagonist of The Dark Crystal franchise, serving as the secondary antagonist of the movie The Dark Crystal, a major antagonist of the sequel comic book series The Power of the Dark Crystal, the prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, and the prequel comic book series The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths. Too late he found that the Emperor raised favorites only to enjoy the pleasure of their fall, caring for them not at all and that the other Skeksis all practiced their own secret divinations, which they trusted above his. The other Skeksis he sought to control through the prophecies he invented, the false apparitions he conjured. He had the ear of the emperor, whose wishes were absolute none could hope for success except through SkekZok. No test has been made for the precious stones of this article.SkekZok the Ritual-Master was thought to hold all control of the life of the court in his own hands.
With AirPods Max, they do support Hi-Resolution Lossless – but only when used as wired headphones. If you are listening on AirPods or AirPods Pro, forget it: there’s just no way that you’re going to hear any difference. The best Apple devices can achieve natively is 48kHz. Indeed, Apple specifically says that you can’t listen to Hi-Resolution Lossless (24 bit at 192kHz) on Apple products at all without an external DAC connected to wired headphones. Apple appears to be fudging this issue somewhat, but when it comes to the full quality – what Apple calls Hi-Resolution Lossless – then the company acknowledges that it’s impossible. (Oh, and don’t use mobile data to do it: lossless files are big!) Are you listening via Bluetooth?īluetooth doesn’t have enough bandwidth for true lossless audio. To reach that bar, you need to do more trials.īut don’t start the test without reading on. To compensate for this, the metaphorical bar for determining that you can tell the difference for an individual track (in contrast to telling the difference overall) is set very high – five times higher. When you then test five tracks, the change of that error happening for at least one track is 25% (5% x 5 tracks = 25%). In this case, that means that for each track there would be a 5% chance of thinking you could hear a difference when you in fact couldn’t. The statistical cut-off typically used to decide whether something is ‘real’ – in this case, your ability to tell the difference between lossy and lossless music – is set so there is a 5% likelihood of thinking there is a difference when there isn’t. The reason that you need to do more trials to work out which tracks you can tell the difference on is because of the multiple comparisons problem. Although 5 trials is sufficient to estimate whether you can tell the difference between lossy and lossless, to work out which tracks you can tell the difference on will require 20 trials per sample. The accuracy of the test will increase markedly as the number of trials increases. You will be administered multiple trials for each of the five tracks used in the original Tidal test. You have to decide whether sample X matches sample A or sample B. You will be presented with two reference samples (A and B), and a target sample (X). If you really want a statistically robust result, it’s recommended to test with 20 songs, and to listen to each set five times, which will take 15-30 minutes. You should, however, expect to spend some time doing it. A much better format is what’s known as an ABX test, like this one. If you only have to listen to a small number of A/B samples, you can easily get a result that is overly optimistic by chance. Will you be able to hear the difference? The answer is going to come down to a number of factors… How good are your ears?įor most people, the answer is “no.” But some people can, and if you want to know whether you’re one of them, there are a bunch of blind listening tests you can take to find out. Indeed, I know more than one who rip their music to ALAC or FLAC, because they want the best possible digital source, but use AAC 256 as their usual format for music listening on portable devices. Data which is unique but does not impact the way we hear the music is discardedĪudiophiles can and do take issue with both claims, but most of them would agree that if you’re going to use a lossy format, then AAC 256Kbps is a very good choice.AAC aims to compress the music in two ways, both of which are intended to be imperceptible to listeners: AAC is an extremely high-quality format, and is easily better than higher bit-rate mp3 recordings. Apple Music streams in AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) format at 256Kbps. If you want to know just how bad things used to be in the early days, check out some 96Kbps mp3 recordings!īut the situation today is very different. In the early days of digital music, the difference between lossless music and low-res mp3 recordings was dramatic, and anyone with halfway functional ears could easily hear the difference. But Apple Music Lossless Audio is a whole other ballgame … With Spatial Audio, when listening on compatible equipment, everyone should be able to hear the difference. Update: Apple has now advised that AirPods Max cannot be used for Lossless Audio even in wired mode!Īfter multiple clues, Apple has now officially announced Apple Music Lossless Audio for all 75 million songs in the library by the end of the year, at no extra cost to subscribers – along with Spatial Audio. This team scales forever, is super flexible and useful in pretty much any game mode (Tower, PvP, Voyage of Wonders, Trials of God…) and ignoring that you need the heroes for it, the best option out there when looking at the brute force of the team. The downside is that you will need Ainz and Albedo with +30 Signature item and also at least Ainz 9/9 furniture items (Albedo helps as well but 3/9 is alright with her as well). This team is super strong because Ainz will simply burn anything to ashes if you let him do his work, simple as that. This team only want to let Ainz deal his ultimate and wreck the enemy team, buffing him up and keeping him alive as long as possible. Control heroes are a little weird, as they provide debuffs and are mostly really strong in boss battles or Arena. They make the front line tankier and the backline stronger in terms of damage. Having Mehira and Khazard Signature Item +30 will help a lot, although it’s not required to make this setup work… Lucretia Invade (former know as Lucretia Cheese or Lucretia 5-Pull) Support heroes are the ones who keep everyone alive and safe, providing buffs, heals, shields, and whatnot. Check out the best artifacts to use here. Grezhul and Kren are mainly in for situations where you need more DPS. If you want to get your comp rolling quicker, Lyca is a great addition. Use Zolrath if you feel like your team goes down too quick early so you can buy time (or Brutus as well). If you do not have Khazard in the range upgraded you need, Daimon and Raku can work but only to a certain degree as Kharazd with his SI is needed to boost cc duration. Lyca ( Sub) replacing Zolrath for haste if you don’t have him.Brutus ( Sub) surviving hero to protect your core.Raku ( Sub) great if burst damage is needed to break through.Rosaline ( Flex): SI +10 & Furniture 3/9.The first time I went through Dark Souls and slaughtered a Balder Knight.

Nara is more useful for disrupting in the early stages or keep an enemy busy. Alternatively, Kelthur can be used to swap positions with an enemy to group them up and execution link can be useful from time to time. Lorsan will link two enemies and die and should be used if you have problems grouping the enemies together or if you have enemies like Rowan that are hard to burst. Thoran uses the Call artifact equipped for haste or Eye for crit and the other heroes should wear their optimal artifact (more about the best artifacts here). Raine ( Sub) for buffing if the ult of Thoran isn’t enough.Rowan ( Sub) for more energy (but only in rare occasions needed).Flora ( Sub) to kill survivors of Thoran’s ultimate and healing.Ezizh ( Sub) to deny enemies and cut their energy regeneration.
was going to break the 1851 treaty with the Lakota. For example, in a reading seminar about the westward expansion of American settlers, students were to discuss whether the author of one of the readings believed it was inevitable that the U.S. If students don’t know certain words, there are things they will not understand. More complex vocabulary leads to more complex thought “Wouldn’t that be a good word to use in your essay,” I ask her. I watch Adele as the light bulb goes on she sees the difference. Washington didn’t just think that economic opportunity was important for African Americans in the South he thought it was imperative. “ Imperative means the same thing as important, so why can’t we just say important?” asks Adele.īecause they do not mean the same thing, I tell her. They were, according to one definition of squalid, “extremely dirty and unpleasant, especially as a result of poverty or neglect.” This seven-letter word speaks volumes about the conditions of the urban poor at the turn of the century in a way that “dirty” or “really bad” just doesn’t convey. “Can’t we just say dirty?”īut the tenements weren’t just dirty. “Why do we need to know squalid,” they ask. They just don’t see the point about memorizing a bunch of words that to them just mean the same thing as other words they already know. Students often whine about vocabulary tests. This gives students reasons to use the words, not just memorize them for the L.A. teacher to collaborate on what words might be useful in my class. Since then, I’ve been working with the L.A. Do you remember the Jacob Riis photos I showed you in class yesterday of tenements? Weren’t the conditions in those tenements squalid? Would that help you remember the word?” Gavin was complaining to a friend that he kept forgetting what “squalid” meant. True, conditions were “really bad.” But isn’t there a better way to say that?Īnd then I overheard my students whining about their vocab test in Language Arts class. Again, I would get sentences like,Ĭity bosses helped poor immigrants because conditions in tenements were really bad. Students had to address the question of why city bosses flourished during the transitional time of urban growth before the Progressive Era. I had a similar insight when grading a writing assignment about the rise of city bosses and political machines. What makes the sentence above so much better is not just the addition of “that it destroyed the lives of young men.” It’s also the use of the word “devastating.” Of course the war was “really bad.” But “really bad” is such an underwhelming way to describe Remarque’s classic antiwar novel. The experience of war was so devastating that it destroyed the lives of young men. But really? This was all the student could come up with? And then, the epiphany, when I read another student’s paper: The author of All Quiet on the Western Front was trying to say that war was really bad. I read the following in a student’s paper. Part of the assignment required students to discuss major themes in the excerpts. I had the first of several epiphanies about why vocabulary matters while grading a stack of responses to an excerpt from All Quiet on the Western Front that I had read to my students.

The green sea turtle is a marine-dwelling species that can reach a length of 3.2 feet (98 centimeters) and a weight up to 400 pounds (181.4 kilograms) (Witherington et al. Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network.Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail.Report injured, orphaned or dead manatees.Report fish kills, wildlife emergencies, sightings, etc.Fish & Wildlife Service, due to the long-range migratory movements of sea turtles between nesting beaches and foraging areas, long-term international cooperation is essential for the recovery and stability of nesting populations. Bycatch (accidental capture by commercial and sport fishermen) of green sea turtles is being reduced thanks to fishing gear modifications (such as the use of TEDs, or turtle exclusion devices), changes to fishing practices, and closures of certain areas to fishing during nesting and hatching seasons. Many coastal communities in Florida have developed lighting ordinances to help more hatchlings reach the sea. Restoration efforts are underway in places like the Gulf of Mexico, where nesting beaches are being restored and enhanced. Green sea turtles are protected by national and state laws, as well as international treaties, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service conducts regular monitoring of green sea turtle populations. Green sea turtles and their food also face overhunting, including for use in sea turtle soup. Light pollution near beach nesting sites poses a risk to sea turtle hatchlings, which may get confused and crawl toward the light instead of traveling to the ocean. Climate change and habitat loss are threats to these animals, as well as diseases such as fibropapilloma. Green sea turtles are an endangered species that have undergone an estimated 90 percent population decrease over the past half century. A healthy individual can be expected to live 80 to 100 years. Birds, mammals, and other predators love feasting on the young turtles.įor green sea turtle hatchlings that reach the water, it takes at least 20 to 50 years to reach sexual maturity. The newly hatched green sea turtles are very susceptible to predators, exposure, and losing their way. A female green sea turtle can lay several clutches of eggs before she leaves the nesting grounds.Īfter about two months, the eggs hatch and the hatchlings make their way to the water. At this point, her role is complete, and she leaves her eggs to fend for themselves. Inside the hole, she lays 75 to 200 eggs and covers the hole with sand. Adult males can breed every year, but females only breed every three to four years.Ī few weeks after mating, a female green sea turtle arrives on the beach and digs a hole in the sand for her eggs. The males arrive in offshore waters first and wait for the females to come to the beaches. The breeding season occurs in late spring and early summer. Less frequent nesting also occurs on the Atlantic coast in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. In the United States, green sea turtles are most often seen on the Hawaiian Islands, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the east coast of Florida. They will travel long distances, even across oceans, to return to their preferred breeding site. Every time the females breed, they make a long migration back to their natal beach, or the beach where they were born. Green sea turtles stay in shallow waters until the breeding season. Instead it feeds on offshore plant blooms around islands and beaches. Once a green sea turtle hatches and heads into the ocean, it rarely returns to land. Though not well understood, these turtles are highly migratory and undertake complex movements and migrations. There are populations with different colorings and markings in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. Green sea turtles are found around the world in warm subtropical and tropical ocean waters, and nesting occurs in over 80 countries. |
