Some missions have endless units spewing out of every doorway, so there’s no point in fighting them as the XP doled out is a set number. SteamWorld Heist‘s XCOM-like movement outshines XCOM 2 in ways I didn’t think it would – everything from its visual representation to the quickness of the gameplay just feels fast and fluid. When not in a mission, you are able to free roam in real-time aboard your ship or when at outposts and bars. You can even perform skill shots by ricocheting shots off of walls, ceilings, and floors to get the kill. The twist here, is that the gameplay is all skill-based, rather than the roll of a dice. This is a game that’s played like a sidescroller, but is done with 2D turn-based strategy. You’ll be ship-boarding and stealing high-value loot from either of the enemy factions, despite being the good guys – the Firefly influences continue. As you progress, you’ll have opportunities to hire extra help, rescue those who become part of your crew, or recruit new members through other means to join you on your ship. You have your pilot of your ship, Wonky by your side, who might as well be Wash from Firefly. SteamWorld Heist will have you assembling a menagerie of characters to take control of, but you’ll mostly be playing as Captain Piper Faraday. As such, you are on the run from this oppression to become space robot pirates. And now, the Royalists and Scrappers are two different factions that have been overwhelming the galaxy. The game is set a few hundred years after SteamWorld Dig where Steambots have become more intelligent and have become space-faring. While the story is a bit shallow, the narrative thread is just enough to make it interesting. SteamWorld Heist combines turn-based strategy, RPG, exploration, and even includes skill-based shots as part of its core gameplay to become one of the best games I’ve played this year. ![]() This game was first released on the Nintendo 3DS at the tail end last year, and I’m so glad it has made its way to platforms that can and does really put its beauty on display. SteamWorld Dig was a game that felt like it was too short, SteamWorld Heist is thankfully the opposite, and a game I want to spend all the time with.

![]() Trim your mounting paper and attach your cutout.Once you have the outline cut out with most of the detail, take the sketch layer off and fix any wonky bits and touch up the tiny details.Sometimes it’s easier to flip it over and cut from the backside.We as humans are very attuned to facial features and we notice when something is even slightly off. If you are doing a human, pay particular attention to getting the facial outline correct.If you are cutting fur, cut out the general outline and then go back and do the tiny snips at the end.It’s pretty rare for me to be happy with my first try. Also, if you make a mistake early on, you won’t have invested as much time in your attempt and can move on quickly. You can go back in and touch up and add once you have the basic outline done. Don’t worry about tiny details in your first go-round.Sometimes it helps to lift up the sketch layer and peak at the silho paper layer.Use long cuts as much as possible (when it makes sense).Spring-loaded microtip scissors are the bomb for this kind of detailed cutting!.Cut over a light-colored surface so you can see the outline more clearly.(Be sure to do a little test with the tape: if the tape leaves a mark on the silho paper, tape your sketch to the white side of the paper, and your silho cutout will just be the reverse of your original.) Make sure the tape is under your subject (the black part of your sketch) so that it stays attached when you start cutting away the paper. Use the removable tape to tape your sketch to the silhouette paper. Roughly cut out your sketch from the printout, and cut a piece of silhouette paper approximately the same size. Tape your sketch to the silhouette paper.That way if you don’t like your first try, you don’t have to redo your sketch, you can just make another copy and try again. I simplified the tail and outlined the paws so I would know where to cut, and also sketched in some fur detail. Sometimes it helps to start sketching with a pencil. Use your white gel pen and your fine-tip black marker to simplify and adjust the outline to your liking. So at this stage you need to decide the dimensions of your final piece. If the final piece is going to be 5 by 7 inches, your cutout should be about 4–5 inches on its longest dimension. Print out your photo at the scale you want your final cutout. *I have used Photoshop for years but found pixlr very easy to use, and the app VSCO can do all of these adjustments on your smartphone as well. Then make your image black and white, and adjust the contrast and brightness (and any other settings you have available to you) so you have a nice dark outline of your subject on a light background. People are easy to shoot inside in front of a brightly lit window.įirst crop out any background so you’re just left with your subject. ![]() Make sure you have a good profile of their face, and they are truly turned 90 degrees from you so their back shoulder is hidden.Ponytails are hard because of the negative space between the neck and hair. Adjust the hairstyle so it will be easy to cut out.Channel your inner William Wegman and hope that your pet is as game as Fay Ray! Some tips for shooting humans:.A white sheet in an exterior doorway on a sunny day works well for a dog or cat. Shoot on a light background with your subject backlit.Unlike with humans, you just don’t know what is going to have that spark. Experiment with different positions: sitting, standing, quarter-turn profile, full profile.It’s hard to get them to turn their head to the side when you’re in front of them! A subtle change in the outline of an ear or the tail can make a huge difference in capturing individuals and personalities. Take a lot of shots and move around while you shoot.It’ll make it easier to see their outline. Try to have the background as light as possible, with as little detail as possible. How to make a cutout silhouette from a photograph scrapbooking tape or acid-free or photo gluestick.photo-editing software (VSCO, pixlr, Photoshop, Lightroom…).a camera (a smartphone camera will work).But you don’t have to have that level of skill to make one! I figured out a way to make them from photographs. If you’ve ever seen someone make a cutout silhouette with a live model, it’s very impressive. I don’t know though - depends on the kid, and the dog… I’d love to see one of a fish or a bird! They just might not be as cooperative as models. Typically we make silhouettes of children, but of course, you can also do a dog or other pet. When done well they really do capture the personality. I have always found these cutout silhouettes charming - something about their graphic starkness along with their individuality. There was no shark talk or any mention of sharks at all. Don’t panic and start flailing around or you will make him interested.” If you see a shark, stay calm and keep your distance. It goes a little something like this, “Occasionally we will see a shark in the area where we are swimming. I’ve been snorkeling many times and there is usually a “shark talk” before getting off the boat. They are small compared to the manta rays but big compared to the colorful fish you normally see while snorkeling around coral. Other fish are also attracted to the plankton buildup around the lights. Don’t plan this for your last day in Kona just in case you need to reschedule. If swimming conditions are not safe then the tour company will cancel the trip. Make sure you ask about this before booking. A lot of tour companies will re-book you on another tour or give you a discounted rate for a second try if no mantas are there. This is one of the most magical aspects of seeing them in the wild as opposed to an aquarium. Some nights a lot of mantas will show up and others there might not be any. ![]() The manta rays are wild and not forced to be there. The Sheraton advertises that you can observe the manta rays from the shoreline most evenings, so I’d certainly expect that boats don’t anchor very far from shore at that site either. However, the airport site has a rocky coast so don’t have any expectations of swimming up onto the beach. The tour company I used went to the airport site.Īs you can see in this picture, the shore is not far from where the boats anchor. One is by the Kona Sheraton and one is near the airport. There are two primary sites for the manta ray night swim. Instead I wrote a whole separate article to help you choose which option is best for you. I couldn’t answer this in a couple simple sentences. Even on a night with a lot of mantas, the experience is not the same if you stay on the boat. He said he could sort of see one when it came near the surface. When we got back on the boat I asked him whether he was able to see the mantas. The mom and daughter went into the water and the dad had no intentions of leaving the boat. Can you see the mantas if you stay on the boat?Ī family of three was part of our tour group. I think this was mostly due to the number of people and lights that were surrounding us. Jumping into the dark water at night was not as scary as I had expected. There were plenty of boats already there and many more that arrived after us. This was partly due to the depth of the water and partly due to the lack of sun shining down on it. Regardless, the water looked pretty dark. It was dusk by the time we arrived at the manta ray site, so not exactly the middle of the night like I had expected. ![]() It was still light out when our boat left for our adventure. You seriously want to go into the ocean in the middle of the night? Watch this video from our trip and find out. What do manta rays look like and how close do they get to you? I’m going to answer some of them now to help you decide whether the manta ray night snorkel is right for you. I failed to find anything claiming the manta ray night swim was dangerous and yet some part of my brain kept asking “you seriously want to go into the ocean in the middle of the night?” Manta Ray Night Snorkel In Konaīefore experiencing the manta rays I had quite a few questions that I struggled to find the answers to. I’ve gone on a helicopter without doors in Kauai, rode on a float plane in Alaska, and even jumped out of a perfectly good airplane in Austin, Texas.īut that doesn’t mean I’ve never been scared. I’ve taken a flight lesson where I was allowed to fly the plane in Pittsburgh. I’ve gone on numerous zip line adventures around the world, ridden a bicycle down a volcano in Maui, climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and repelled down a cliff in New Zealand. ![]() I’ve gone snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef and scuba diving in the Caribbean. My sister once accused me of not knowing the meaning of the word “scared” but I don’t know if that’s completely accurate. I think of myself as a pretty adventurous person. If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, your question certainly isn’t “how great is the manta ray swim” but rather, “how scary is it?” I’m here to answer that for you. It has made many lists such as CNN’s 50 Best Dive Sites, National Geographic’s Top 10 Things To Do In Hawaii, and PADI’s Top 5 Places To Scuba Dive With Manta Rays to name a few. The Manta Ray Night Dive/Snorkel off the coast of Kona, Hawaii is certainly a bucket-list attraction.

The SEC regulates the financial reporting of companies selling their shares in the United States, whether US GAAP or IFRS are used. Some companies that operate on a global scale may be able to report their financial statements using IFRS. The SEC not only enforces the accounting rules but also delegates the process of setting standards for US GAAP to the FASB. As a result, financial statement users are more informed when making decisions. By having proper accounting standards such as US GAAP or IFRS, information presented publicly is considered comparable and reliable. ![]() The SEC is an independent federal agency that is charged with protecting the interests of investors, regulating stock markets, and ensuring companies adhere to GAAP requirements. Publicly traded companies (those that offer their shares for sale on exchanges in the United States) have the reporting of their financial operations regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.). International accounting rules are called International Financial Reporting Standards (I.F.R.S.). If US accounting rules are followed, the accounting rules are called US GAAP. GAAP are the concepts, standards, and rules that guide the preparation and presentation of financial statements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (F.A.S.B.) is an independent, nonprofit organization that sets the standards for financial accounting and reporting, including generally accepted accounting principles (G.A.A.P.), for both public- and private-sector businesses in the United States. This flexibility in applying GAAP is why financially intelligent managers need to understand the estimates, bias, and assumptions behind these judgment calls, and how they affect the financials.1.7 Accounting Principles, Concepts and Assumptions But GAAP doesn’t spell out everything it allows for plenty of discretion and judgment calls. It helps to ensure the statements’ validity and reliability, and allows for easy comparison between companies and across industries. GAAP defines the standard for creating financial reports in the United States. (Excerpts from Financial Intelligence, Chapter 8 – Costs and Expenses) So long as a company’s logic is reasonable, and so long as that logic is applied consistently, whatever it wants to do in this instance is OK. The key to proper application of GAAP, as accountants like to say, is reasonableness and consistency. Companies take those guidelines and apply a logic that makes sense for their particular situations. ![]() For example, what about the salary of the person who manages the plant where the product is manufactured? What about the wages of the plant supervisors? You’d think GAAP would say, “The plant manager is out,” or “The supervisor is in.” No such luck GAAP only provides guidelines. Conversely, the cost of supplies used by the accounting department and the salary of the human resources manager are definitely in SG&A, not in COGS or COS.īut then there’s the gray area-and it’s enormous. Some of these decisions are easy: for example the wages of the people on the manufacturing line or the cost of materials used to make the product should definitely go in COGS or COS. The accounting department has to make decisions about what to include in COGS or COS and what to put somewhere else. Another category of operating expense is selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A). It includes all the costs directly involved in producing a product or delivering a service. ![]() Cost of goods sold or cost of services (also known as COGS and COS) is one category of business expenses. For example, the same expense might be accounted for differently by two different companies, and both companies might still be in perfect compliance with GAAP. GAAP says that all operating expenses must be reflected on a company’s books however, it does not say how to categorize them specifically. One example of the way GAAP can be applied concerns how to account for operating expenses. When a company wants to change how they apply GAAP, they must publicly disclose the change. However, once they pick how they are going to apply GAAP, they must be consistent and use it on an on-going basis. GAAP runs for thousands of pages and spells out a lot of detailed rules. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) defines and amends GAAP. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that GAAP be followed by all companies whose stock is publicly traded on the open market. GAAP stands for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. It is made of obsidian, a glass-like volcanic rock material.

They have a stunning pink and grey body, with a cute crest when they get excited. They are goofy, playful, affectionate and beautiful. Rose Breasted Cockatoos make wonderful companions. Baby Rose Breasted Cockatoo (Eolophus roseicapilla) Available. Unlike most species, the Galah Cockatoo has flourished in developed and deforested areas because it has opened up grassland areas. In Australia, the increase in their population has led to the locals deeming them a nuisance due to large flock sizes and the damage they can inflict on crops. RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE: Galahs are often kept as pets. The term galah is also used as a derogatory term meaning idiot or fool in Australia.The name Galah comes from its name in Yuwaalaraay and neighboring aboriginal languages where the bird is called gilaa.They will stay in the nest for three months before they are weaned and able to survive on their own. Average clutch size is about 2 eggs and the incubation period is about 25 days. Once the male is accepted as a mate, pair will nest in tree cavities. Male Galahs perform courtship behaviors, such as ruffling feathers, raising crest feathers and bobbing their heads, to attract a female. REPRODUCTION: Galahs reach sexually maturity around 5-6 years of age. Galahs can be seen with other bird species such as the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. When the group is eating, one bird will keep watch and if disturbed, the entire flock will fly off. This species is sedentary, spending most of its time in one place. Galahs have also been known to consume agricultural crops.īEHAVIOR: Galahs are highly social birds. A small portion of their diet is devoted to fruits. Galahs also dig in the dirt or grass for insects, larvae and shallow plant roots. SOCIAL STRUCTURE: Galahs pair bond for life and will form loose bonds with other paired birds.ĭIET: Wild: A wild galah’s natural diet is varied, consisting of several foods that will vary seasonally and depend upon location, mostly consisting of seeds, oats, wheat and several grasses. The colours of the juveniles are duller than the adults. The genders appear similar, however generally adult birds differ in the colour of the irises the male has a very dark brown (almost black) irises, and the female has a mid-brown/red irises. It has a bone-colored beak, bare skin around the eyes and grey legs. It has a pale grey to mid-grey back, a pale grey rump, a pink face and chest, and a light pink mobile crest. Galah cockatoo are about 35 cm (14 in) long and weigh 270–350 g. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GALAH COCKATOO Galah’s may also congregate in metropolitan areas. HABITAT: Found in Australia and Tasmania’s savannas and open grasslands. ![]() RANGE: It is found throughout Australia, being absent only in the driest areas and the northern tip of the Cape York Peninsula. Although very peculiar, this parrot is one of the most common sights in its natural home and has become a popular and loved choice for a pet parrot. This bird stands apart with its distinct and beautiful plumage, as well as with its fun and lovable temperament. The Rose Breasted Cockatoo is most commonly known as the Galah cockatoo, and it’s one of the most unique, widespread and popular parrots in the large and diverse cockatoo family. Extremely intelligent and enormously fond of humans, the bird readily can readily learn a wide vocabulary when trained diligently and is able to learn other complex tricks as well.Īs a native to the harsh conditions of central Australia, the rose-breasted cockatoo is also unusually hardy and free of many of the diseases and disorders common to other parrots. The Galah cockatoo, usually known by its native Aboriginal Australian name galah, may be close to the perfect parrot species when it comes to suitability as a pet-at least for an owner who likes to play a lot with a pet bird. Mint Mobile’s coverage map lets you zoom in to an exact address to determine whether the service offers 5G coverage on T-Mobile’s network in your location. That’s why it’s important to visit Mint’s website to confirm voice and data coverage where you live, work and travel. Since Mint Mobile relies on T-Mobile to provide network coverage, your experience with the service will depend heavily on how T-Mobile performs where you live. If the deal is approved by regulators, Mint Mobile owner Ryan Reynolds will stay on in a creative role to promote Mint. The email said customers will get the same reliable and affordable service. In an email to subscribers, Mint Mobile said there are no plans to change the service’s $15 per month pricing. Mint Mobile announced in March 2023 that it was being acquired by T-Mobile for up to $1.35 billion. The service runs on T-Mobile’s network and utilizes its cell phone towers, including 5G at no extra charge. Mint Mobile is a low-cost cell phone service provider that offers prepaid plans. I share more details about this deal in the Plans and Pricing section of my review. That’s a savings of 50% off the unlimited plan. In this article, I’ll share the pros and cons of the service to help you decide if you should sign up.Īt the time of this update, Mint Mobile is running a sale that drops all 3-month introductory plans to $15 per month. Mint Mobile offers among the best plans and pricing, features, and app experience in the wireless industry. ![]() I’ve tested more than a dozen cheap phone plans over the past few years. Mint Mobile 2023 Review From a Real Customer The short answer is that yes it’s a good service, but it’s not for everyone. More about unlimited data plans and perks.If you’ve seen the ads for Mint Mobilefeaturing actor Ryan Reynolds, you may be wondering if the affordable wireless service provider is worth the savings. It doesn't matter if you're an Apple purist rocking the latest iPhone or a lifelong Android user looking to upgrade to the newest Pixel or Galaxy - to get the most out of your device you'll need a good unlimited data plan. ![]() Unfortunately, when it comes to finding the overall "best" unlimited plan, things can be a bit challenging. Unlike with home internet service, where your options are often limited by your location, most people living in the US have their pick of all the major competitors and carriers. And with so many different options, it can be tricky to tell which ones are truly a good value - especially since carriers love to make bold claims about performance and coverage at different prices. To help you narrow down the best unlimited data plans that are out there, I'm going to focus on the three major carriers - Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T - combing through the multiple postpaid unlimited plans available to find the ones that provide the most perks and value for single lines and for families of four, so that you can find the best plan type for you at an affordable price on your budget.īefore we get to the plans, to get the best deal you need to make sure you have the coverage that you need. This makes it very hard for us to give a blanket recommendation of any one carrier. T-Mobile's service in New York may be excellent, but if you're in rural Iowa, Verizon is more reliable. While your mileage may vary, the good news is that these networks are growing and improving all the time, particularly as the three major players race to blanket the US with 5G. ![]() It's quite possible that you left a network complaining about its sparse service a decade ago, but now it's beefed itself up because of that race to acquire customers. If you know any friends or family in your area that already use the carrier you're considering, ask about their experience. You could also go to a carrier's store and see if they offer any free ways to try out the service before switching over, such as T-Mobile's Network Pass. Verizon now offers a similar 30-day "Test Drive" program while the Cricket prepaid service has rolled out its own trial program that lets you sample parent AT&T's network. One other thing to keep in mind: discounts. ![]() 6 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment. Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 arrives on Blu-ray, DVD, Limited Edition Blu-Ray Steelbook and Digital on Dec. With Season 5 of Star Trek: Discovery in production and slotted to return to Paramount+ in early 2023, all we know about the storylines to come is that executive producer and producing director Olatunde Osunsanmi promises "more exploration and more adventure" and the return of Jonathan Frakes to direct more episodes. ![]() Figuring out what they're doing making the DMA ends up being the big mystery of the season. ![]() It also ushers in a new unknown species responsible for the DMA, classified by Starfleet as the 10-C. In their travels, they discover that a Dark Matter Anomaly, or a DMA, is threatening the galaxy including Earth. In case you've been out of the loop with Star Trek: Discovery narrative, Season 4 finds Captain Burnham and her crew helping to rebuild the United Federation of Planets 900 years after the events in the original Star Trek series. To celebrate, SYFY WIRE has a sneak peek of the Season 4 gag reel featuring Martin-Green suffering a flock of very loud geese, Doug Jones' Saru being accused of being flirty and Mary Wiseman's Tilly getting unceremoniously interrupted. With the release of Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Tuesday on Blu-ray, DVD, Limited Edition Blu-Ray Steelbook and Digital, audiences can look forward to a taste of the whole ensemble breaking, forgetting lines and dealing with outside interruptions like the Federation champs they are. Which is why when a new season of Star Trek: Discovery arrives on home video, the gag reel is always a delight to behold. And while the adventures of Captain Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the USS Discovery have certainly lightened up a tad since Season 1, there's still a lot of couch gripping and gasps happening in any given episode. Now four seasons into Star Trek: Discovery, the one thing we've figured out is the universe sure can be unforgiving at times. ![]() Tallest building in the world from 1931 until 1972 tallest man-made structure in the world 1931–1967 first building in the world to contain over 100 floors. 432 Park Avenue is the 31st-tallest building in the world and the tallest building in the world known only by its street address. It was the tallest building in the world from 1974 until 1998. An equal sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings. This list ranks completed and topped-out buildings in the United States that stand at least 800 feet (244 m) tall, based on standard height measurement which includes spires and architectural details, but excludes antenna masts. Other tall buildings that are proposed include the 1,010-foot-tall (310 m) One Bayfront Plaza, and the 1,049-foot-tall (320 m) One Brickell City Centre in Miami. In Chicago, preparation work for Tribune East Tower has begun. In New York City, 270 Park Avenue is currently under construction. There are numerous supertall buildings both proposed and under construction throughout the country, concentrated in New York City and Chicago. If they were still standing today, they would occupy the seventh and eighth positions on the list below, with their replacement-the new One World Trade Center-being excluded. Prior to the September 11 attacks in New York City, the twin towers of the first World Trade Center occupied the second and third positions on the list below, The North Tower (1 WTC) stood at 1,368 feet (417 m), while the South Tower (2WTC) was 1,362 feet (415 m) tall. Tribune East Tower in Chicago will also have higher occupied floors and roofs upon their completion. However, the observation deck elevation and the height to the highest occupied floor of One World Trade Center are surpassed by Central Park Tower, 432 Park Avenue, 111 West 57th Street and Chicago's Willis Tower (formerly and still commonly known as the Sears Tower). Declaration of Independence was signed, though the absolute tip (or pinnacle) of the structure is measured at 1,792 ft (546 m).
