![]() ![]() If it’s attuned to some form of ancient technology or magic, it’d be great if the player could customize it for speed, power, etc. ![]() The Master Sword taking on a new form - or state of matter - entirely is nothing short of an enticing concert. There’s also the possibility the Master Sword could take on an energy-like form, as suggested by some officially released artwork. Perhaps with the Golden Sword, after many trials and tribulations to bring the weapon to its ultimate state, the player is rewarded with a legendary weapon true to its name that never runs out of energy - or at the least, one with a significantly shorter restoration timer. Breath of the Wild balanced the Master Sword by having it run out of energy every so often, making the player wait 10 minutes before it could be used again. With weapon durability likely to return, upgrades are the perfect opportunity for a weapon with greatly increased durability paired with incredible strength. Upgrading the Master Sword beyond its standard form doesn’t just have to be about damage and cosmetics, however. After all, if it’s truly Link’s final showdown with the ultimate evil - a fight Zelda herself isn’t sure she can win - why not make the sword as strong as it can be? It’s up to Arthur to clear the land in pursuit of Longbeard the Dwarf and rescue Princess Helen. Perhaps I’m getting my hopes up, but the stakes seem higher than ever before in Tears of the Kingdom, making it the perfect time to go all out. WALKTHROUGH My Kingdom for the Princess II Time Management Download The adventures of Arthur and Princess Helen continue in this long awaited sequel to the addictive strategy, Advertisement time management, simulation game. The sword upgrade was one of my favorite features in each of those games, and I was disappointed when it didn’t return in Breath of the Wild. Each upgrade strengthens the damage the weapons deal. Consistent between the two is the color of the blades, with red for the first upgrade, and gold for the second. In the former, the sword takes on the appearance of another arm entirely, while in the latter, just the blade changes color. I currently work as a Production Lead with in the outside crew where I help over. Each game has two upgrades: the Tempered Sword and the Golden Sword in A Link to the Past, and the Master Sword Lv2 and Lv3 in A Link Between Worlds. I completed my apprenticeship in 2020, achieving a level 3 NVQ and a level 3 city and guilds in marine engineering and electrical and mechanical maintenance and installation, I qualified as a Grade 5 engineering and then moved up to a Grade 7 in October of 2021. Assuming restoration is indeed the goal, the question lingers: Is that all? Twice has the player been able to upgrade the Master Sword, in A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds. ![]() ![]() ![]() For whoever it may be, our engraved crystal glasses and barware are unique gifts that will be cherished for years to come.

Given that the leeches that parasitize turtles are aquatic, this is a reasonable proposal, and there are scattered, anecdotal observations of leeches leaving basking turtles (Saumure & Livingstone, 1994 Selman et al., 2008 Selman & Qualls, 2009). obs.).Īn alternative hypothesis proposes that basking is a mechanism for removing ectoparasites, particularly leeches (Mcauliffe, 1977 Koffler et al., 1978 Reshk, 2009 Mitchell & Johnston, 2012). Nocturnal basking may, however, provide an opportunity to thermoregulate by avoiding unfavorable water temperatures (Nordberg and McKnight pers. To further complicate matters, some turtles “bask” at night (Barhadiya et al., 2020 Nordberg & McKnight, 2020), a time period when this behavior would not result in increased body temperatures from direct solar radiation. Some authors have, however, challenged the notion that basking is primarily for thermoregulation (e.g., Manning & Grigg, 1997). Therefore, it may be advantageous for turtles to engage in behaviors that remove parasites however, the fitness costs have not been well established (see Schall, 1986 and Brown et al., 2006).īasking behavior in turtles is generally thought to be thermoregulatory (specifically, increasing body temperature) and is often referred to as “sunning” due to turtles’ proclivity for sitting on sunny substrates with their limbs outstretched (Boyer, 1965 Chessman, 1987, 2020). This may have important consequences, because there is some evidence that high parasitemia of red blood cells can result in anemia or other histopathologies (Schall et al., 1982 Peirce & Adlard, 2007 Despommier et al., 2017). Leeches are a common ectoparasite for many freshwater turtles, and they can transmit hemoparasites, such as the apicomplexan protozoa of the genera Haemogregarina and Hepatozoon (Strohlein & Christensen, 1984 Siddall & Desser, 1992 Rossow et al., 2013 Arizza et al., 2016). ![]() Birds, for example, engage in behaviors such as preening, dust bathing, and sunning to remove parasites (Bush & Clayton, 2018). As a result, parasites often influence host ecology and behavior, including causing hosts to shift behaviors in an effort to remove parasites or mitigate the diseases they spread (Schall & Sarni, 1987 Main & Bull, 2000, Bower et al., 2019). ![]() Therefore, leech removal does not appear to be the purpose of the majority of basking events.Įctoparasites can adversely impact host health by absorbing nutrients and spreading diseases (Bower et al., 2019). Our data showed even the 20-min period was longer than 70.1% of natural diurnal basking events, many of which took place at cooler temperatures. However, it was only effective at unusually long basking durations in this system. These results indicate basking can remove leeches if temperatures are high or basking durations are long. Diurnal basking outdoors under direct sunlight for 20 min (mean temp = 34.5☌) resulted in a small reduction in leeches, with 50% of turtles losing leeches and an average loss of 0.7 leeches per turtle. Only 18% of turtles lost leeches (one turtle lost one leech and another lost four leeches). Similarly, “nocturnal basking” at ~23☌ for 3 hr was not effective at removing leeches. In diurnal trials, 90.9% of turtles lost leeches (mean loss of 7.1 leeches per turtle), whereas basking for 30 min under the same conditions was not effective (no turtles lost leeches, and all turtles were still visibly wet). Diurnal basking under a heat lamp for 3 hr at ~28☌ significantly reduced numbers of leeches relative to controls. Turtles had high initial leech loads, with a mean of 32.1 leeches per turtle. Therefore, we examined the number of leeches that were removed from Krefft's river turtles ( Emydura macquarii krefftii) after experimentally making turtles bask at a range of times of day, durations, and temperatures. However, the efficacy of basking, day or night, to remove leeches has not been experimentally tested. Leaving the water to bask (usually in the sun) is a common behavior for many freshwater turtles, with some species also engaging in “nocturnal basking.” Ectoparasite removal is an obvious hypothesis to explain nocturnal basking and has also been proposed as a key driver of diurnal basking. ![]() ![]() Squash Vine BorersĬlose-up of squash vine borer larva ( Melittia cucurbitae).Ĭlemson University – USDA Cooperative Extension Slide Series, ĭamage is caused by larvae (immature forms) tunneling into stems. Apply insecticides when nymphs are small, as adults are more difficult to kill. Early detection of squash bugs is very important, as they are difficult to control and can cause considerable damage. Remove and destroy vines and discarded fruit after harvest to eliminate overwintering sites. Other control methods include early planting and removing eggs and nymphs by hand. As bugs congregate under it for protection, simply lift the trap and smash them with your hoe (or shoe). Place a small, square piece of old shingle or heavy cardboard under each squash plant. The secretive nature of squash bugs can be used to your advantage in controlling these pests. Adults and nymphs may be found clustered about the crown of the plant, beneath damaged leaves, and under clods or any other protective ground cover. The squash bug is secretive in its habits. New adults do not mate until the following spring. ![]() Only one generation of bugs develops each year. They hatch in about 10 days into nymphs that become adults in four to six weeks. Eggs are yellowish-brown to brick red in color and are laid in clusters of a dozen or more on the leaves. They mate and begin laying egg clusters about the time vines begin to grow and spread. Squash bugs overwinter in protected places as unmated adults. Squash bug egg mass and freshly hatched nymphs ( Anasa tristis). Spraying with insecticidal soap, planting in aluminum foil-covered beds, and filling yellow pans with water to trap the aphids are also effective control measures. ![]() In addition to natural enemies, you can spray leaves with soapy water, then rinse with clear water. Infestations usually are higher in hot, dry summers following cool, dry springs, which have reduced the efficiency of the natural enemies. Beneficial insects are extremely important in keeping aphid populations in check. Usually, cucurbits are not attacked by aphids until the vines form runners.Ĭonsider natural controls when making treatment decisions. The melon aphid also is one of the chief vectors in transmitting Cucumber mosaic virus. Infested leaves curl downward and may turn brown and die. They are found chiefly on the underside of the leaves, where they suck the sap from the plants and cause a reduction in the quality and quantity of the fruit. Some are winged, while others are wingless. Melon aphids vary in size and color from light yellow to green to black. ![]() Mississippi State University Archive, Mississippi State University, Melon aphids ( Aphis gossyppi) and several other aphid species attack cucurbits, particularly melons and cucumbers. Melon aphids, also known as cotton aphids ( Aphis gossyppi). Certain insecticides applied at planting or as a foliar spray for insect control apparently contribute to severe outbreaks of mites on melons by killing their natural enemies. Because of their small size, spider mites are hard to detect until vines are damaged with hundreds of mites on each leaf. Damage can develop very quickly, and the mites can kill or seriously stunt the growth of plants. This damage appears as pale yellow and reddish-brown spots ranging in size from small specks to large whitish, stippled areas on the upper sides of leaves. These tiny mites feed on the contents of individual cells of the leaves. Two-spotted spider mites ( Tetranychus urticae) can be a serious problem on cucurbits, especially on watermelons and cantaloupes, during hot, dry weather. All other lady beetles are beneficial because they feed on insect pests, such as aphids and scale insects.ĭestroy crop residues after harvest and reduce overwintering sites by tilling. The adult of the squash beetle overwinters in crop debris. The other species, the Mexican bean beetle ( Epilachna varivestis), a close relative of the squash beetle, is a serious bean pest. The squash beetle feeds upon the leaves of cucurbits. Clemson University – USDA Cooperative Extension Slide Series, The squash beetle ( Epilachna borealis) is one of two species of Coccinellidae known to occur in the United States that eat plant material rather than other insects. ![]() Adult squash beetle ( Epilachna borealis), with spiny larva at left. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve been running this site for a long time.Īnyway, I sketched out an idea using offset squares twists sometime last summer. Actually, that was four years ago already which is crazy. ![]() Notwithstanding all that, this piece is an experiment with offset square twists, like in this piece I made a few years ago. As a result, this is only my second post in 2017 and it’s already September. I make them so slowly that I don’t have anything to post very often. Once your shape is traced, slide your tessellation to the immediate left, right, top, or bottom of your tracing, and trace again.For the first time in nearly a year, I have finished a new tessellation. Trace your tessellation creation onto a sheet of paper. Tape the four pieces together to create a single tile.ħ. Re-arrange the shapes such that the letters meet in the middle and they spell the word "TRAP".Ħ. Cut along your lines, yielding four separate shapes, each with a single letter.ĥ. Draw another funky line vertically down the paper, separating the two sections into a total of four sections.Ĥ. Take a pencil and draw a funky line horizontally across the paper, separating the 'P' 'A' side from the 'R' 'T' side.ģ. Take a square piece of paper and write the letters 'P', 'A', 'R', and 'T' in each corner.Ģ. Ready for a more complex challenge in creating amazing tessellations? The "PART" to "TRAP method is a great way to create a unique shape that you can trace over and over again on paper for an intricate tessellation design!ġ. Fit all of your new tessellation pieces together to create a beautiful, puzzle-like work of art! Very important -be sure to maintain the same orientation of your cut-out shape every time you tape it!ħ. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 for each of your remaining squares. Tape your cut-out shape to that side of the square, lining up the long flat edges.Ħ. Rotate the square by 90˚(one corner in either direction) so that you have a fresh, flat, un-cut edge of the square facing you. Take one of your squares and cut out your tracing.ĥ. You should now have four squares of paper, each with your shape traced out in the same way.Ĥ. Ensure that your oddly-shaped cut-out is facing the same way every time you trace it. Repeat for each of the remaining three squares. Trace your cut-out onto the square with your pencil.ģ. Line your oddly-shaped cut-out on top of a second square of paper, lining up the long edges. (So if you start cutting from the bottom side of the square, make sure your scissors finish cutting on the bottom side of the square!)Ģ. Take one square piece of paper and cut a weird shape out of one side of the square. Start with five squares of paper that are the same size.ġ. Great for beginner cutters, and a great next step into more complex tessellation making.Ġ. Do they fit together? Try creating more complex shapes, like fish, flowers, or even dinosaurs! Now try drawing that shape again immediately next to the first shape. Step it up: Ready for a harder challenge? Skip Step 2 and just try drawing a shape on a piece of paper. If your shapes are fitting together perfectly, keep drawing them in each row until your entire sheet is filled up.ĥ. ![]() Do they fit together perfectly? What if you draw a third shape immediately next to the second shape? Do they still fit together perfectly?Ĥ. Draw that shape again immediately next to your first shape. In one row, draw a simple shape that spans the entire height of the row (see image above), such as a square, triangle, a lopsided rectangle (parallelogram), or other shape of your choice. Divide the paper up into equal width rows (or columns) about 3-4 rows for a small sheet will work very well.ģ. We recommend starting with half of a regular 8.5" x 11" white sheet of paper.Ģ. Start with a piece of paper and a pencil. No cutting is involved for this starter tessellation design, making it a great starting project for younger artists.ġ. ![]() ![]() ![]() Find us on social media: For current & accurate updates: /mandymatney Support Our Mission: murdaughmurderspodcast.
