![]() Real Words Made to Evoke the Sound of Real Things This is by far the most common type of onomatopoeia. The word “meow,” which sounds just like the sound a cat makes when it actually meows, is a classic example of conventional onomatopoeia. This type of onomatopoeia, which we’ll call conventional onomatopoeia, uses words whose own sound evokes the sound of real things. A series of letters that mimic a “raw” sound.Made-up words that sound like real things.Real words made to evoke the sound of real things.Onomatopoeia has a few distinct variants: Here's how to pronounce onomatopoeia: on-uh-mat-uh- pee-uh The Four Types of Onomatopoeia A dog’s “woof” in English is a dog’s “bau” in Italian ( how to say woof in 16 languages). Onomatopoeia can differ across cultures and languages, even when referring to the same sound.Advertising, branding, and slogans often use onomatopoeia: “Snap, crackle, pop.”.Onomatopoeia can use real words, made-up words, or just letters used to represent raw sounds (as “Zzzzzz” represents someone sleeping or snoring). ![]() Some additional key details about onomatopoeia: The “boom” of a firework exploding, the “tick tock” of a clock, and the “ding dong” of a doorbell are all examples of onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech in which words evoke the actual sound of the thing they refer to or describe. What is onomatopoeia? Here’s a quick and simple definition:

![]() It always surprises me what people get their bowels in an uproar about. I'm always surprised at how seriously people take movies. Actually, Helena Bonham Carter's mother was three seats down from me and she was just laughing and laughing - she was the only one. They called for our hides and we split town. ![]() ![]() Let's put it this way: the youngest person in the screening was Giorgio Armani. We opened at the Venice film festival, and I think to say they hated it would be an understatement. I thought, "Well, surely you don't want to have the Twentieth Century-Fox logo over a shitty movie." And they were like, "Well, as long as it opens." They didn't care. But I'd always had this naive idea that everybody wants to make movies as good as they can be, which is stupid. For a number of years, I'd been around the kind of people who financed movies and the kind of people who are there to make the deals for movies. No one hated Alien 3 more than me to this day, no one hates it more than me. I worked on it for two years, got fired off it three times and I had to fight for every single thing. I don't have any tripod guns or flamethrowers or any of that shit!" If a movie gets off on a wrong foot, when you've never done it before you assume everyone is going to be there to help you right the ship, but really you're beholden to a lot of banana republics. And of course you're sitting there going, "Guys, remember I don't have any guns. So that was a movie where the time was not taken upfront to say, "This is what we're doing, and all of this is what we're not doing." So as we were shooting, a lot of people-I suppose in an effort to make it "better" or "more commercial" or more like the other ones they liked as opposed to the one that you liked-took to being extremely helpful, so that this could be more James Cameron than James Cameron. Otherwise, when they start to question it, the horse can easily run away with you and it's bigger than you are. I think a movie set's a fascist dictatorship-you have to go in and know what it is you want to do because you have to tell 90 people what it is you want to do and it has to be convincing. And if a movie is constantly in flux because you're having to please this vice-president or that vice-president of production. It's just a movie starts from a unified concept, and once you've unified the concept it becomes very easy to see the things you're not going to spend money on. There were a lot of enormously talented people working on that movie. They tried, they just didn't want to get dirty with it, they didn't want to get in up to their necks. And we were kind of like, "I'm not here for this, I'm just here to pull cable." We were the youngest people there and we ended up being the grips and electrics on everybody else's movies, and it was pretty good those six or seven weeks, we got to shoot Panaflex cameras and make a married print-it was in black and white and you made these little cheeseball movies, but at least you were making "something." It was kind of like film school in that way, but those who can't do, teach, and those who couldn't teach, taught there. There were all these people who were there to communicate and change the world, to do all these lofty things-and then they made these really shitty, stupid little movies. It was very impressionist, very Berkeley. I went to a place called the Berkeley Film Institute for a summer program with a grade-school friend of mine, and we just thought it was a joke. He has directed music videos for Madonna, Sting, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, George Michael, Iggy Pop, The Wallflowers, Billy Idol, Steve Winwood, The Motels and, most recently, A Perfect Circle.Īs a film director, he has achieved huge success with Сім (1995), Бійцівський клуб (1999) and, Кімната страху (2002). Fincher has directed TV commercials for clients that include Nike, Coca-Cola, Budweiser, Heineken, Pepsi, Levi's, Converse, AT&T and Chanel. ![]() He went on to found Propaganda in 1987 with fellow directors Dominic Sena, Greg Gold and Nigel Dick. Fincher left ILM to direct TV commercials and music videos after signing with N. He subsequently worked at ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) from 1981-1983. When he was 18 years old he went to work for John Korty at Korty Films in Mill Valley. David Fincher was born in 1962 in Denver, Colorado, and was raised in Marin County, California. ![]() This coordinated fraud will be hard to trace because the traitors deleted all the security logs prior to 11 p.m. ![]() The Dominion voting machines were apparently programmed to reject a large number of ballots so the corrupt Democrat election workers could ultimately decide the destiny for these ballots. In the adjudication process, election workers are allowed to determine the ultimate outcome for each ballot. In Antrim County, the voting machines rejected an outrageous number of ballots for adjudication. “However, because files and adjudication logs are missing, we have not yet determined where the bulk adjudication occurred or who was responsible for it.” In other words, Democrats premeditated and coordinated their attack on the US election system, tampering with the security logs to cover up their fraud. “Because the intentional high error rate generates large numbers of ballots to be adjudicated by election personnel, we must deduce that bulk adjudication occurred,” Ramsland warned. This bombshell report was released to the public on Dec 14 after it was approved by Kevin Elsenheimer, the chief judge of Michigan’s 13th Circuit Court. We must conclude that the 2020 election cycle records have been manually removed.” “The lack of records prevents any form of audit accountability, and their conspicuous absence is extremely suspicious since the files exist for previous years using the same software. “The adjudication process is the simplest way to manually manipulate votes,” wrote Russell Ramsland, who prepared the forensic report. There was a coordinated attempt to coverup security logs that show wide scale vote switching All log files for previous elections were still contained on the machines, but someone on the inside was able to erase the all-important log files for the 2020 election. The Dominion machines in Antrim county had an error rate of 68.05 percent! Even more shocking: The ballot-adjudication logs and the security logs for the November 3 general election were removed. 0008 percent for all voting machines used in US elections. The Federal Election Commission allows an error rate of. This forensic audit found blatant evidence of a coordinated attack on the 2020 Presidential election. They investigated compact flash cards used by local precincts in their Dominion ImageCast system, and they audited the memory sticks used by Dominion Voter Assist Terminals and the memory sticks used for the poll book. This group conducted a forensic duplication on the county’s election management server. The forensic audit was carried out by the Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG). After election officials identified “glitches” that switched 6,000 Trump votes to Biden, the courts in Antrim County Michigan ordered an audit of Dominion voting machines. ![]() ![]() Just remember that you should have 1 tank, 1 healer, and 1 DPS character and the last two slots are what you can spam with the second and third defensive options. This will allow you to get through the early stages of the game and have enough money and experience to create something stronger for later on. ![]() Simply stock up as many support/heal-based characters as you can and then throw in one or two attack ones. This team is useful for early-level gameplay and becomes a bit pointless later on.īut if you find the game difficult and wish to level up without any issues – this is the team for you. All of this combined with a good healer and support character will mean great success for your adventures. On top of all of that, Astaroth even has a revive ability, which is a bit unusual for a tank but helps an awful lot. Nebula buffs her entire party with her skills which automatically makes everyone stronger, while Astaroth is a great tank who effectively buys other characters the team to work on recharging their abilities without any risks. Nebula and Astaroth are great team players which work beautifully together. Collaborative Team (Nebula and Astaroth mandatory) Then in the end a healer would possibly seal the deal and take care of your defense too. ![]() You can throw in a tank and a healer afterward based on whoever you have or like playing with, and you’ll have a very powerful team. Lars and Krista have the ability to mark enemies and it earns the rest of the team the advantage of dealing additional damage. You can then throw in a healer or more tanks based on your preferences. This allows you to have multiple attackers and has one of the highest damages in any team that you can have in the game. Dark Team (Dark Star and Ziri mandatory)ĭark Star has the ability to create duplicates of herself, and Ziri can create four clones of characters like Elmir if they get hit and go backward. So, here are the best combinations based on our experience and statistics: 1. Naturally, the best team is created by combining these attributes in the best ways possible, which allows the player to have every aspect covered in a battle. And of course, if the tank dies, the healer does have attack capabilities too in order to keep going further. However, a tank takes damage – so that’s when a healer comes in as they revive you back to health so you can keep fighting. If a character is a tank, they would be able to fight enemies while their teammates build up enough energy to use their abilities. The way these teams combine together to help each other is a balance of offense and defense. And finally, support means that you help your teammates in winning battles in ways more than just healing them – which means that it’s a little more on the offensive side. DPS stands for damage per second, so your defense is not a priority like it is with tanks and instead, you’re meant to deal as much damage as possible.Ī healer, as the name implies, is used to keep themselves and their teammates alive at any cost, the latter being of more importance. Tank is for dealing as much damage as possible while also being a brute in terms of strength. The game has four classes, which are tank, DPS, healer, and support. “For 30 years I've been giving talks about pikas and telling the story of how the American pika collects marmot scat in its hay piles, in hopes that someone in the audience will tell me why,” Chris Ray, a quantitative ecologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, says in an email.More than 15 species of rabbits, pikas and hares, collectively referred to as lagomorphs, are widely distributed across North America. ![]() “However, things are changing, and more recent attempts to control them have investigated the use of contraceptives, which have less collateral damage” to other species, he adds. Livestock herders see pikas as direct competitors for food and poison the animals by the millions, Speakman says. ![]() (Read how wild yaks may be climbing higher due to climate change.)Ĭoprophagy may also explain why plateau pikas tend to be more plentiful in areas inhabited by yaks. Taken together, these various pieces of evidence confirm the coprophagy. ![]() In 20, the scientists captured hand-held video of plateau pikas eating yak droppings on four separate occasions. This is probably an underestimate because DNA degrades when feces sit in the sun, he says.Īnother series of tests revealed that in the winter, the makeup of pikas’ microbiomes shift to resemble those of the yaks’-suggesting that the animals may be also acquiring beneficial bacteria from yak feces. To prove the theory, Speakman and colleagues analyzed gut contents of more than 300 deceased plateau pikas-collected for another study in 20-and found that around 22 percent of the sample contained yak DNA. Maybe they eat this stuff." Then a year later, when two pika died accidentally in a trap, an analysis of their gut revealed the presence of yak feces. "Then I really started to think: That's strange. In 2009, Speakman found a half-eaten yak dropping inside a plateau pika’s burrow, triggering his curiosity. Speakman believes yak waste is likely an ample, low-effort food source that allows pikas both to save energy and to stay hidden from predators, such as peregrine falcons and Tibetan foxes. This behavior, known as interspecific coprophagy, is quite rare among vertebrates. “The accumulated evidence, however, is now incontrovertible,” says Speakman, whose study was published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “At first nobody we spoke to believed the story about them eating the yak feces,” says study leader John Speakman, a physiologist at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, in an email. But the second part was more surprising to researchers. The first part of the formula makes sense, since a reduced metabolism means the animals need to obtain fewer calories each day. Now, after 13 years of research, scientists say they’ve discovered the plateau pika’s secret to survival: the animals slow down their metabolism and supplement their usual diet of plants with yak droppings, which contain valuable, undigested nutrients. ( Learn more about another teddy bear-faced pika rediscovered in China.) Unlike some other cold-weather animals, pikas can’t rely on blubber, winter weight-gain, or sleeping through the cold months. Of the 29 species worldwide, the American pika, native to the western United States and Canada, is well known for the way it collects plants in its mouth before stashing the food stockpiles underground to endure the winter.īut how its Asian relative, the plateau pika, survives on dry, wind-whipped steppes, where temperatures routinely dip to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 29 degrees Celsius) and plants shrivel in the winter, has long been a mystery. Pikas are pint-size, rodent-like mammals that look like a cross between a guinea pig and a rabbit. But the pikas of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in northwestern China do neither. ![]() To avoid the harsh temperatures and lack of food that come with colder weather, some animals migrate. ![]() # Should be similar to what you see when you browse Your internal repository url (the main one). # We use this variable for future REST calls. ::SecurityProtocol = ::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072 # installed (.NET 4.5 is an in-place upgrade).

As for the 1.9 unofficial patch I respect those little fixes here and there, but the gateway in Level 1 doesn't work for traveling back, additionally opened areas in patch 1.9 in Level 1 and Level 3 make no sense in terms of lore or items (one ration and 1 ordinary dagger in Level 1 and nothing in Level 3), moreover there is a teleport behind one door which is blocked (perhaps it was meant to teleport heroes to the Waterdeep's alternative sewer entrance - but it was mentioned that Xanathar should have that teleport in his chambers), and there is one more blocked door with no real purpose since it can be reached from another side (I would expect a button on the other side at least). I also tried Eye of the Beholder 1 & 2 Amiga AGA versions but I quickly reverted back to DOS version since Amiga games work much slower for some reason, especially when loading the save files. I finished Eye of the Beholder 1 game with unofficial patch 1.9 and All Seeing Eye map addendum, highly recommended to play on 2-monitors set with the game on fullscreen. Beohram is definitely a Paladin (from Waterdeep City Watch?), his cross says it most clearly the same way lockpicks points out that Tod Uphil halfling is a thief. The 1.9 patch based on Demo stats is very important since there are so many tweaks which are logical and which were present and then ommitted in final version (probably by mistake). That's how I discovered the AGA editions:Īnd that's how I should have known them way back in 2013: I mean I can clearly see how it's done in video example from Jim playing below but he never commented on that, and I remember seeing another person who clearly stated and described this new item pickup feature, that is amazingly well done and saves a lot of time. I might be mistaken but it looks like there is also a function to quicky pickup dropped items (shooted arrows and thrown daggers included), I swear I've seen it in one of the videos from another YT person but maybe it was in a completely different reality. I even ready to support a Patreon page or something for the freelance developer to provide the goods! ![]() ![]() The games long gone, the links are dead but it's possible to get WHDLoad editions, or whatever it is.Īnd those games look great, that's how one should play EoB games, if only somehow that automap feature could be implemented into DOS fan edition along with ending sequence and probably Amiga sounds & music (Adlib is weak in comparison) that would be fantastic edition. ![]() The die-hard fan(s) reverse-enginered EoB 1-2 games from Amiga to enrich them with full colors and proper automap (Tab button), I beleive the AGA Remakes were made by someone named CFOU Westwood is not to blame, they did not provided the automap for EoB 1 & 2, nor did SSI for its EoB 3 continuation under another engine (only a bit later in Dungeon Hack). There are die-hards like that out there, but not that many, so why not make the map optional, like in Grimrock. I've always wondered why the Amiga version got a fancy map and the PC users had to draw their own on pieces of paper. ![]() If only Westwood would do a nice remake, like with C&C1 and RA1.

This portrayal of female characters is not groundbreaking, but Moyes makes it easy to sympathize with her character’s quest for liberation and the inevitable and predictable obstacles they would overcome. While this causes the town’s scorn to fall on them, it deepens their relationships with one another. In fact, all the women of the library are outsiders, or “others,” in their own way. Chief among the secondary characters is Margery O’Hare, a kind yet tough individualist - a product of her harrowing childhood life: “If you had survived Frank O’Hare, not much else was going to stand in your way.” Although born and raised in the area, Margary is seen as the “other” to the people in the town. The supporting characters and Alice’s relationship to them give this book its heart. Though the “Giver of Stars” falls victim to a formulaic plot, the compelling characters and heartwarming tone make for a captivating read. In spite of their seemingly inoffensive mission, Alice and the other women begin to disturb the sensibilities of their small town who see their group as a threat - not only to the morals of the town, but also to the laws of nature. As Alice becomes both dissatisfied with her marriage and small-town life, she joins the group of traveling librarians. The story follows Alice Wright, a British woman, who moves after marrying the Kentucky native Bennett Van Cleve.
