This is one of the best planetary aspects for romantic compatibility. What does the Venus trine Venus synastry aspect reveal about your relationship potential? Based on how the planets of these people interact with each other, you can get an idea about the relationship. In synastry, you compare the birth charts of two people you want to know how they get along. Keep reading to learn more about the Venus trine Venus synastry aspect in astrology! Venus Trine Venus Synastry You want similar things in life, what makes this aspect amazing for long-term compatibility. Venus trine or sextile Venus synastry suggests that you get along well and you have similar taste.

When it comes to romantic connections, the aspects of the Moon and Venus carry the most weight. It reveals how two people’s relationship is likely to unfold-if this relationship is something you should invest yourself in. ![]() Synastry is an amazing astrological technique. ![]() Does anyone have experience with this? It’s also because, our davison chart is basically inverted from our composite chart.What does it mean if you have the Venus trine Venus synastry aspect in your chart with someone? I read this could be that the composite is how the couple apperas to others (external), and that the Davison is more centered on the purpose of coming together (internal). This makes me want to ask a question on the difference between composite chart and Davison chart. Venus sextile ascendant – affection display most probably □ Neptune trine ascendant – same wave length, something that softens probably the impetuous aries. Moon (conjunct midheaven) squares ascendant, but I don’t know really how that plays out.Īlso pluto (end of house 6) opposition ascendent ? Serious depth… Children are a big part of our lifes too. Entrepreneurial, dynamic, physical energy, sports together, implusive? dare devils? Given the circusmstances of our meeting and our personal situation, us coming together looks very much externally like something crazy to do. How do you appear as a couple? What is your composite ascendant?Īries ascendant. Venus trine the ascendant couples tend to be popular. Planets trining the rising add an element of ease. It can, however, create an interesting mix. A square can introduce an effect that is seemingly at odds with the overall appearance. Planets in other aspects to the rising sign also influence the overall impression. Add Jupiter to the ascendant and you get a cheery effect, or a bigger presence, or on a bad day, perhaps you’re a bit much. A couple with Neptune conjunct the ascendant is subtle, perhaps at times magical. For example, Neptune obscures, adds a shimmer of chameleon-like essence. Planets in conjunction to the ascendant add their energy to that of the sign. Because of this I try to keep him near me at all times. My man and I have Libra on the ascendant and have been told we’re an attractive and pleasant couple. With a Scorpio ascendant you’ll have a subtle and compelling power about you. Leo rising couples are radiant and regal, dramatic. This is the placement that represents how you look when you are together. If you want to know how you appear as a couple look to the rising sign. The most evident effect of the composite chart is the ascendant.

5/26/2023 0 Comments Primordia mushrooms![]() Our work has laid a foundation for future research on biofilms on Laboulbeniomycetes. We suggest genetics and metabolomics approaches to investigate possible interactions between Laboulbeniales fungi and the biofilms. These bacterial communities were mainly found on the thalli, and only in small quantities on the arthropod integument. associated with Harmonia axyridis (Coccinellidae). flagellata associated with Limodromus assimilis (Carabidae), and Hesperomyces virescens s.l. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs show an abundance of bacterial biofilms on thalli of three species: Laboulbenia collae associated with Paranchus albipes (Carabidae), L. This study is the first to show the presence of biofilms on thallus surfaces of Laboulbeniales, an order of fungi that have biotrophic associations with arthropod hosts. These microbial communities are of interest both from an ecological and a biotechnological point of view, as they have been shown to play a role in biodegradation and biosynthesis. bisporus, and to a lesser degree P.ostreatus, and whilst doing so identifies existing research gaps and emphasizes directions for future work.īacterial biofilms have been described on a number of fungal taxa. This review explores characterized interactions involving bacteria and A. Bacterial interactions also elicit varying growth-inhibitory responses from A. Although several of these interactions have been observed to promote mycelial growth, the proposed mechanisms of growth promotion by specific bacterial strains remain largely uncertain, and at times conflicting. ostreatus, by means other than those of the removal of inhibitory compounds. Apart from their role as a food source for the growing mycelium, bacteria also form extensive interactions with the mycelium of A. bisporus, and indirectly through the action of extracellular bacterial enzymes, but this is less well studied for P. bisporus mycelium, both directly through bacteriolytic enzymes produced by A. Bacterial biomass in the substrate is a significant nutrition source for the A. Of these interactions, the most well studied is the removal of inhibitory volatile C8 compounds and ethylene by pseudomonads, which promotes mycelium growth and stimulates primordia formation of both A. The mushrooms are usually introduced to the substrate as grain spawn, and the actively growing hyphae form a range of direct interactions with the diverse bacterial community in the substrate. These two mushroom species are grown on fermented-pasteurized substrates, and bacteria and fungi play an important role in converting feedstocks into a selective medium for the mushroom mycelium. Agaricus bisporus is the dominant cultivated species in the western hemisphere and in Australia, while in Asian countries P. The cultivated edible mushrooms Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus are valuable food crops and an important source of human nutrition. Typically, 3-6% of primordia developed into mature sporophores, but significant differences in this proportion, as well as in the numbers of primordia produced, were recorded between 12 A. In larger-scale, nonaxenic culture, strain B430 produced severely malformed but mature sporophores in similar numbers to those of other strains. However, none of these rudimentary primordia developed differentiated tissues or beyond 4 mm diameter, either on axenic casing material in the microcosms or in larger-scale culture. Of six strains tested, only the developmental variant mutant, B430, produced rudimentary primordia on axenic peat-based casing material. bisporus (commercial strain A15) was capable of producing primordia and mature sporophores on charcoal (wood and activated), anthracite coal, lignite and zeolite, but not on bark, coir, peat, rockwool, silica or vermiculite. bisporus were cultured in axenic and nonaxenic microcosms, using a rye grain substrate covered by a range of organic and inorganic casing materials. Some of these primordia then may develop further into sporophores, involving differentiation of tissue. The mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) has a requirement for a "casing layer" that has specific physical, chemical and microbiological properties which stimulate and promote the initiation of primordia. 5/26/2023 0 Comments Pc vr supported games![]() But Chronos did something for me that Zelda never could.

The feeling of claustrophobia, and the fear that the creature will catch you, is so intense that it’s almost unplayable at times-but, equally, totally exhilarating. In VR, the darkness of the stricken Sevastopol station feels somehow even darker. It stomps around, hunting for you, behaving unpredictably, and you have to sneak around it to find keys, unlock doors, access computers, and other simple tasks. You’re dropped into a room, or a series of rooms, with Giger’s alien.

You’ll have better runs where the game provides you with the most powerful weapons and others where you find nothing for large swaths of time. ![]() If you can find them, of course, which isn’t guaranteed. That said, there’s a nice variety of bosses, enemies, and weapons. The first three are procedurally created in the same format, while the fourth is a little more interesting. There are only four level themes across the game and they kind of blur together after a while. However, this factor does little to detract from the inherent repetitiveness of the genre. Fury Unleashed is generous in extending the combo timer so long as you stay on the aggressive. It’s not difficult to keep your combo going if you can avoid getting hit. With some upgrading, enemies will even drop health after a certain kill threshold, and eventually, you can also gain shields for every five enemies killed. Score kills under a time restriction without taking any damage and you’ll start seeing bigger and bigger rewards. The freshest mechanic that Fury Unleashed brings to the table is its combo system. You shoot with the right thumbstick, and everything of importance is mapped to the shoulder buttons, so you never have to take your thumbs off the action. It’s simple and meager, but it’s told convincingly enough that it provided ample incentive for me to see the end of the game. On the phone are the various messages he’s been receiving regarding his comic, and it’s easy to see the weight piling on his shoulders. The story is told effectively using the creator’s cellphone set atop short scenes that you walk through. However, layered on top of this is the story of the comic’s struggling creator, who is dealing with declining sales and criticism from readers and the internet’s lowest form of life: professional critics. You’re a comic book character tasked with eliminating all chaos from the pages. The main story of Fury Unleashed is a simple one. ![]() However, the game will be sure to let you know how little it thinks of you when you use it by locking leaderboards and certain achievements. If it’s too much for you, there is an easy mode that allows you to adjust the challenge. Make no mistake, Fury Unleashed is a pretty tough game on its default difficulty and can become even more of a challenge once its two other difficulty modes are unlocked. Preventing things from becoming too daunting is a permanent upgrade system that has you spending the game’s currency, ink, to beef up your Fury. Typical to Rogue’s descendants, a certain amount of repetition is a given as you die frequently and are sent back to the beginning to start over. What you end up with is a run-and-gun that takes you through procedurally created levels, in this case taking the form of comic book panels. However, that hesitation doesn’t prevent me from making an attempt on a game that catches my attention, as is the case with Fury Unleashed.įury Unleashed (PC, Switch, Xbox One, PS4)įury Unleashed takes inspiration from games such as Metal Slug and Contra and mixes it with modern roguelites. Often times, my enthusiasm for the game runs out long before I manage to reach the end. It’s not that I don’t like the gameplay style, it’s just that I’m never sure if I’ll ever complete them. I approach roguelikes and their poseur brethren roguelites with a modicum of hesitation. Stay updated with the best new online casinos at today.

We reached out for an interview with a leading PC casual game dev - Jorg Henseler of Mad Data, developer of Jewel Match Origins 2: Bavarian Palace (above) and Jewel Match Solitaire X, and he was kind enough to give us the following insights: ![]() ad revenue (some sites let players play the game as much as they want but they have to sit through ads.).revenue from minutes played (some sites give you access to many games for a monthly membership, and then devs are paid a share of the overall play time.).actual game sales (normally the player downloads a demo, and if they like it they buy the full game.). ![]() (Only 20% to the dev!)Īnyhow, there are multiple ways you can get money on PC casual sites, according to a source that we reached out to: But historically, PC casual game portals keep a minimum of 60% of total revenue, unless you get some kind of exclusive deal - and some of the portals keep as much as 75-80% of revenue. You might think that giving a 30% cut to Steam is unfortunately high. One surprising thing about the PC casual portal biz is the revenue cut. Here’s the breakdown that GameDiscoverCo did of the primary genre of the latest 50 games in iWin’s YouTube channel, as of mid-May 2022: The genre mix is also fascinating, and doesn’t map well to core popular Steam genres or top mobile genres of today. ![]() Look, it’s Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger 13: The kind of games you’re seeing can have a hilariously large amount of sequels, since you’re trying to get people to buy each game, or use their credits/subscription to play them. (We have anecdotal evidence: at least one Plus Discord member still buys these titles from time to time! Though one of our sources for this article mentioned “customers dying” as one source of attrition for the PC casual game space. So what’s going on? It appears that a small subset of the older (often female-centric) demographic of the original casual games boom 20 years ago just… kept buying PC games, and never transitioned to mobile gaming. Other still-existing portals include GameHouse and even WildTangent. Sites like distribute a new casual game every day, Big Fish Games still has a PC games section with many new games, and not all of these titles even appear on Steam.

Yep, I remember that, I thought nostalgically the other day. So what we’re talking about here is PC downloadable casual games that used to cost $20, back in 2006 or so. Some publishers and developers branded themselves specifically as casual game companies, like Big Fish Games, PopCap Games, and MumboJumbo.” In the mid-2000s, more sites specialized in game hosting and publishing, such as Gamesville and RealNetworks. The Wikipedia page explains: “Casual games started to flourish online in the 1990s along with the rise of the World Wide Web, with card games and board games available from paid services like AOL and Prodigy, and then from web portals, like Yahoo!

The Callisto Protocol is a next-generation take on survival horror from the mind of Glen Schofield. If gore and blood-soaked brutality are your things, then The Callisto Protocol looks set to prove itself as a horror fan’s dream come true. Excited viewers were treated to an extended gameplay slice from the survival horror title, which gave us a much more detailed look at the rampaging style of third-person combat than perhaps we were bargaining on.

Owen Beach at Point Defiance is sandy and doesn’t have rocks at all close up. While we don’t have sandy beaches in Tacoma for the most part, we also don’t have beaches that are good for tide pools.Ĭhambers Bay Park’s beach which is close to our house is rocky, but they are small rocks. I wonder what the teacher did with the creatures at the end of the year? A Great Blue Heron flies over the Puget Sound with the Narrows Bridge in the background.Īnyway, ever since we moved to Tacoma I’ve been wanting to go to the tide pools to see what I could find. ![]() The class would then spend the semester keeping the salt water levels viable for the creatures and getting hands on learning. We collected all kinds of creatures: crabs, starfish, clams and one kid even got lucky and scored an octopus. Titlow Beach features some cool tide pools inside of old pier postsI’m guessing this is looked on a little different these days, but back in the mid-90s we didn’t care about the environment or something. Cat enjoyed playing in the tide pools more than looking for critters. For a brief three months I thought I was going to be a marine biologist, but those problems with science ended that idea.Īnyway, the thing I remember the most about those classes all these years later was early in the semester we would take a field trip to Seattle to the ocean at low tide to collect specimens to keep in tanks in the classroom. I would never say that science was a strong point, as I was happy to just get a passing grade in those classes.īut in junior high I voluntarily took marine biology twice as an elective. The best description of this 7.7 mile round-trip hike is found in Day Hiking Olympic Peninsula by Craig Romano.One of my favorite classes in junior high might surprise folks if they know me well. Follow the fairly well signed trail to the beach, then turn right on the beach to Thompson Spit, known for birding and flowers. Print a map in advance, or take a photo of the map in the parking lot. Turn right at Diamond Point Road and travel 1.2 miles then turn left to the parking area. Traveling north from PT, the park is located off highway 101. The state’s newest park has a trail leading to a deserted beach on a shoreline facing Protection Island. Marcia Schwendiman: Miller Peninsula State Park and Thompson Spit If you don’t already have a PNW marine life field guide, an excellent resource is available for purchase here: And there’s more sea-related animals and plants to be found surrounding tide pools, such as marine mammals, shore plants, and shore birds. Things you might find are sponges, anemones and jellies, worms, mollusks, sea slugs, bivalves, crustaceans including crabs, echinoderms, cephalopods, seaweeds, and seagrasses. Kinzie Beach is one of my favorite places for tidal explorations. Lee Merrill: Kinzie Beach at Fort Worden State Park This walk allows plenty of room for safe distancing and a relaxed walk. Observe what you see, the identifying characteristics that you see, the descriptions of the animals and their colors. Opportunities to see seals, shells, sea stars and many interesting sights will unfold for you. My low tide recommendation is to go to East Beach on Marrowstone and walk as long as you like along the shore. Be sure to return to the park before the tide starts coming in or you will not be able to cross back under the Bridge! ![]() If the tide is a minus 2 or lower, one can hike south, passing under the Hood Canal Bridge and then stroll along a usually deserted beach littered with glacial erratics, fine habitat for intertidal creatures. To the north, a two-mile round-trip leads to views of a backwater lagoon and ends with a feature called a tombolo which connects the mainland to Hood Head. The park entrance is signed and parking is plentiful at the park’s entrance on the shore of Bywater Bay. This is a fine place to beachcomb, dig clams and oysters (with a permit), launch a kayak, and look for migratory birds. Turn north at the junction with Paradise Bay RD then immediately east at the park. Shine Tidelands is located at the west end of the Hood Canal Bridge on Highway 104.
