![]() One of his colleagues had excavated the specimen in 1984, in the village of Dholi Dungri in Gujarat, on the western coast of India. ![]() The Pterodactyl (Canadian name for The Rat with 3.c5) This is according to: of "The Complete Chess Addict" by Mike Fox and Richard James, Faber & Faber, Printed in Great Britain 1987.In 2000, while visiting the Central Museum of Nagpur in Western India, the paleontologist Jeffrey A Wilson found himself hunched over one of the most fascinating fossils he had ever set eyes on.even in Toronto."Īnother distinctly Canadian creature is "The Pterodactyl," which calls for an early P-QB4 and the powerful use of the wings - hence the name. Myers would agree that to call it 'The Beaver Defense' would be even more flippant," Stove wrote in the national magazine, En Passant, "while the 'Maple Leaf Defense'could be unacceptable in many parts of Canada. Rushing to The Rat's defense was Ray Stove, who explained that the rodent family provided his country's national symbol and thus should be affiliated with its major contribution to opening theory. A short time ago an American openings connoisseur, Hugh Myers, took the Canadians to task for the name. They also talk about "The Big Clamp," "The Great Snake Defense," and "The Penguin." But The Rat somehow takes on a patriotic meainig. It's "The Rat." Except in Quebec, of course, where it's "Raton." This is not the only opening name the Canadians use. P-KN3) is sometimes called the Yugoslav Defense. Here is what I found on it, from Chess Life 1984 March (a USCF chess magazine, you can find archives of it here): So I guess that players who play the Dragon Sicilian because of the cool name, now have another opening to add to their repertoires. Note: Pterodactyl and Pteranodon both belonged to the Pterosaurs order, but different genus. So I went looking in that direction, and found out more variations that also named Pterodactyl However, I realized that the prefix of the opening is Modern Defense, not Sicilian. Aa first, I had thought that maybe the Pterodactyl can only appeared when playing the Sicilian Dragon, due to the relation of dragon-dinosaur. So I went to do some more digging, and currently found no trace of who had laid the name to this type of opening. And the opening name on showed the name Pterodactyl.Īnd that was when I found out that there's an opening named after a dinosaur. Nevertheless, I played 3.f4, and as expected, Black played 3.Bg7. For those who don't know, this is the Hyper-Accelerated Dragon variation in the normal Sicilian line with 2.Nf3 One day, I faced an opponent playing 2.g6. The Closed Sicilian Defense System, with 3.f4 tranposes into Grand Prix attack.Īfter so many succesful games with the Grand Prix, I decided to adopt this line as a current weapon against the Sicilian. with an upcoming 3.f4 to go into a Grand Prix attack One day, I decided to change things up, by not playing the 2.Nf3 move, but instead played 2.Nc3, creating the closed Sicilian system.

ArcMap is doing it's best to display all three data sets by "projecting on the fly" to put them all into the same spatial reference. There is a tiny Humboldt County at the top and there is actually one that is so small it is invisible at the bottom. You may have already seen a window like this and you probably will in the near future. Then, click on the little earth button to zoom to see all the data sets. Now, let's load all the data sets into ArcMap together at the same time. This shows that it is very easy to have a missing or incorrect spatial reference and ArcMap will never recognize it - you have to! Also note that I did not get an error loading this data. Note that the coordinate value is huge (because it is actually a UTM coordinate) and the units indicate "Decimal Degrees". Humboldt County with an incorrect spatial reference.

However, if one has a missing or incorrect spatial reference, ArcMap will still display the data, just in the wrong place. If all the data sets loaded into ArcMap have the correct spatial reference, everything is fine. This sounds good but creates a whole series of other issues.

Spatial References and ArcGIS Incorrect and Undefined Spatial References in ArcGIS ![]() These two small parts are linked and very important. Habaki & Seppa :Before tackling the handle part, there are some important details between the blade and the beginning of it, which is the Habaki and the Seppa. Traditionally, the color of the Sageo is matched to the Tsuka handle. There are different materials for this string and many colors. Sageo :The Sageo is, as we said, a rope that allows the Katana to be attached to the practitioner's belt. This brings a practical side as well as aesthetics to the scabbard. This small part allows tying the Sageo which will be then hung on the belt of the practitioner. Shiadome & KurigataThese two parts are a pair. This scabbard is usually made of lacquered wood with various patterns and colors. It is therefore very easy to draw the blade, but its size is also perfect for holding the Katana without it falling out. This scabbard is designed to draw the blade as quickly as possible. Saya :The Saya is the scabbard of the Katana. Even if this part is not visible at first sight it is actually very important for the strength so that the steel does not break during a cut. This hidden part reveals many things like the signature of the master smith for example. It is the part that continues from the blade under the handle. Nakago :The Nakago is the tang of the Katana. This bo-hi throat is also useful for the sound, because it allows to know if the cut is good at the sound of the wind, which is rather satisfactory. It is important to have a blade that lasts over time and can withstand many cuts.īO-HI :The Bo-Hi is a line carved inside the blade of the Katana that allows to reduce the weight of the blade, but also to adjust the balance point of the sword. The sharpening of this part as well as the hardening and the steels used will determine the quality of the edge, but also its rigidity and solidity. It is this part that is usually hardened with the Hamon in the traditional way. Ha :The Ha is the cutting edge of the blade. The Kissaki tip varies between Katanas, it can be larger or smaller. This tip separates the rest of the Katana blade from the Yokote. Kissaki : The Kissaki is the tip of the Katana as shown in the picture above. Almost all Katanas have this feature, there are some exceptions with Katanas without Yokote where the blade is continuous along the whole length. Yokote :The Yokote defines what separates the blade from the Kissaki. It is as important as the rest of the blade and reveals the Boshi. The polishing of this point can take a long time, as it is very important. This Hamon does not have a 100% success rate and this affects the price of high-end bladesīoshi :This part refers to the hardening line of the Hamon which extends to the tip (Kissaki) of the Katana. We coat part of the blade with a clay mixture that we will heat and temper, the part with the clay will cool much faster and will be more rigid and sharp. Hamon :The Hamon is the line of tempering that demarcates the most rigid and sharp part of the blade with the other, more flexible part. The flat section of the blade is therefore called Shinogi-Ji. The Shinogi is the part from the edge of the blade to the line that determines the flat of the blade. Shinoogi & Shinogi-Hi : These two Japanese terms are complementary. This curvature can vary according to the katana and has several names depending on the intensity of the curvature. ![]() Sori : The Sori measures the curvature of the blade.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus were officially announced at Apple's "Far Out" event, along with the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE (2nd generation), Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods Pro (2nd generation) and an update to Apple Fitness+ via a virtual press conference filmed at Apple Park in Cupertino, California on September 7, 2022. The new 6.7-inch variant of the iPhone 14 was named "iPhone 14 Plus", rather than "iPhone 14 Max", which was predicted by previous rumors. Instead, a larger 6.7-inch display size option was added to the lower-priced iPhone 14 lineup. This may have been due to underwhelming sales of the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 13 Mini. However, when the iPhone 14 was unveiled, no smaller display option was available. The iPhone 14 was originally rumored to come with 6.1-inch and 5.4-inch display size options. iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models (as well as iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models) sold in the United States drop support for physical SIM cards, making them the first iPhone models since the CDMA variant of the iPhone 4 to not come with a discrete SIM card reader. Apple has not introduced a Plus model iPhone since the iPhone 8 Plus in 2017. Instead, Apple has reintroduced a larger dimension iPhone 14 named the iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 does not have a "Mini" version like its predecessor, the iPhone 13 Mini. Pre-orders for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus began on September 9, 2022. The iPhone 14 was made available on September 16, 2022, and iPhone 14 Plus was made available on October 7, 2022, priced at $799 and $899 respectively and was launched with iOS 16. ![]() The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus feature a 6.1-inch (15 cm) and 6.7-inch (17 cm) display, improvements to the rear-facing camera, and satellite connectivity for contacting emergency services when a user in trouble is beyond the range of Wi-Fi or cellular networks. They are the sixteenth and latest generation of iPhones, succeeding the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini, and were announced during Apple Event, Apple Park in Cupertino, California, on September 7, 2022, alongside the higher-priced iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max flagships.

I can see why Marvelous decided to streamline these things, but it does kind of take away from the whole “circle of life” concept that brought such emotional peaks and troughs to the GameCube version. Female cows no longer need to have given birth before they can start producing milk, goats no longer stop producing milk, and animals, in general, can no longer die. Raising cows, goats, and sheep is similarly detailed, although some mechanics are simpler than in the original. Again, just like in real life, men are useless! I jest, but really, if you end up with a coop full of male chickens, that’s not a decision made for the love of money. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is the only farming game I’ve ever played where I’ve actually sold animals. Just like in real life, male chickens cannot lay eggs, so you’re at the mercy of RNG for whether you hatch a female chicken to increase your egg production. You can’t incubate a chicken egg unless it’s fertilised, and you need both a male and female chicken to start producing fertilised eggs. For example, while the mechanics are a bit different in this remake, animal breeding is a much more prominent feature than in other Story of Seasons games. Straight off the bat, this gives you some agency: do I start with animals? A cute lil’ chick? A baby cow? Or straight into experimenting with seeds? You’re limited in what you can do at the start of the game, but there’s some nice progression with both animals and farming. You start Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life with 2000G in your pocket and not much else to your name. Many in-game tutorials are very hit-and-miss depending on how long they are and if they’re skippable, so this is a happy medium. The game alerts you to the location of this notebook several times, and is a comparatively filler-free method of explaining how the game works to players who need it. Luckily, plenty of handy tutorials are accessible from your in-game notebook, and you can read as many or as few of them as needed. Your job is to decide how you want to live your farming life alongside all these other characters, from whom you befriend to whom you raise a child with.Īside from your name and pronouns, you can also customise your skin tone, hair colour, hairstyle, and outfit choice.Īfter our introduction to our inherited farm in the game’s opening cutscene, things may initially seem a little daunting. However, as story chapters progress and time passes in the game, the residents of Forgotten Valley will age, and their individual stories will unfold. Seasons only last ten days each, so one year is only a quarter longer than your standard season in other Story of Seasons games. What A Wonderful Life does differently is condense that timeline yet expands it to last your character’s lifetime. These days we’re used to a standard formula: seasons last 30 in-game days, we have four seasons from Spring through to Winter, each with different available crops, and throughout the year we build relationships with the townsfolk. ![]() For those familiar with the original release, you’ll remember its structure being quite experimental and original. ![]() Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is a remake of the 2003 GameCube game Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. However, while many farming games are still chasing the crumbs left behind by Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is taking steps to both reclaim the series’ identity and modernise its genre-defining legacy. Bokujō Monogatari, known both as Harvest Moon and, more recently, Story of Seasons, has been around since the ’90s. Cozy farming games are the current hot trend, and it’s somewhat surprising that they have taken so long to become as widely popular as they have. |
