The Park will evaluate potential management actions for the Pinta tortoise watch this space for updates. After a quarantine process, the Floreana hybrids will join the existing Floreana captive breeding program. The 31 tortoises collected on this expedition were transferred to the “Fausto Llerena” Breeding Center on Santa Cruz Island. In previous centuries, pirates and whalers released tortoises collected on other islands and left them here. The purpose of this is to perform genetic analysis to determine the species to which they belong, since a large population of hybrid individuals inhabits Wolf Volcano - including species considered extinct. The team also collected approximately 50 blood samples from tortoises located for the first time, which were also given an identification microchip. In this expedition, which is part of the Giant Tortoise Restoration Initiative (GTRI), a program implemented by Galápagos Conservancy and the Galápagos National Park Directorate, the field team consisted of 45 Park rangers and scientists divided into 12 search groups that traversed approximately 77 square miles of tortoise habitat on Wolf Volcano. The young female tortoise with Pinta Island ancestry (© GNPD) These will be genotyped soon to determine where they came from. Ten other tortoises (seven females and three males) had not been genotyped but had highly saddleback shells - typically of Floreana and Pinta species. The latter is a young female presumed to be a direct descendant of a pure individual - who may still inhabit some area of this volcano in the north region of Isabela Island. One female has a 16% genome of Chelonoidis abingdonii, the extinct species from Pinta Island to which Lonesome George belonged. Of the tortoises identified, 20 (12 females and eight males) have known partial lineage of the species considered extinct on Floreana Island. The captured tortoises include 21 females and 11 males, each weighing 100 to 300 pounds. A team that traveled to Wolf Volcano for a 10-day expedition returned this morning with 31 hybrid giant tortoises with partial lineage of the Chelonoidis abingdonii and Chelonoidis niger tortoise species, both considered extinct on Pinta and Floreana Islands, respectively. Scientists took 32 tortoises with the most spectacular saddles to a breeding center on Santa Cruz Island.

The first player to land on the WIN space wins the game. Used cards are placed at the back of the card box. If you're playing a starred space, the player who wrote your favorite answer advances two spaces on the board. You advance one space for every correctly matched answer. The player to your right reveals which player wrote which answer. Players should be discreet when answers are read aloud, and when you are selecting your favorite answer and guessing 'who wrote what'. Whether you like an answer because it was hilarious, honest, creative or ridiculous, it is up to you in deciding your 'favorite'. If you're on a starred space, you will first pick your favorite answer and then guess which player wrote which answer. It helps to hear the question again before answers are read aloud. The reader should familiarize himself/herself with the answers before reading them aloud. After hearing ALL of the answers, you must match which player wrote which answer. (You will not see the handwriting, because the player to your right is reading the answers aloud). (There are no right or wrong answers, but players are encouraged to get creative!)Īll answers are collected, shuffled and read aloud by the player to your right. If you land on one of these spaces at the end of a turn, advance as shown and wait until your next turn to roll.Īll other players (not you) secretly write their personal answers to the question on their answer sheet. If you land on one of the two 'Lucky Spots' after rolling the die, advance as shown and play the space you land on. You will also pick your favorite answer to the question, and the player who wrote your favorite answer advances two spaces. If you land on one of these starred spaces, look at all questions from both sides of the card and choose any question to play. (If you're on a yellow space, look at both sides of the card and read aloud your favorite yellow question). Pick the next card and read aloud one of the questions matching the colored space you're on. Roll the die and move the number of spaces shown. Take an answer sheet and pencil and write your name at the top. Select game pieces and place them on the START space. Place the board and box of question cards in the middle of the play area.

We really can't wait for you to see it.īig day for dino fans: Goodbye Volcano High just took part in Sony's State of Play, dropping a new trailer and official release date. It's been a big month for us, dinos! The whole development team has been hard at work finishing this darn game, and it's looking so beautiful. And now we're in the mix! We're so honoured. I remember watching talks the past few years and being so impressed with the way they run this fest, and the types of games they highlight. It's so overwhelmingly wonderful to get to be a part of LudoNarraCon. We were, however, very sorry our online dino delegates didn't get a chance to play the demo □ Wouldn't you know it though, that's all about to change.īecause we are proud to announce that the first online demo for Goodbye Volcano High will make its debut at LudoNarraCon this coming May 4th-8th! YES THAT'S RIGHT DINOS. Getting to hear all your thoughts and all the things people were excited about was like a balm on our weary souls! We can't thank you enough. Thanks for this amazing round up of all the press on GVH's demo! In addition to our dev updates though, we've finally been able to get Goodbye Volcano High into people's hands! Not the full game of course, but our demo! In March we had our first opportunities to get hands-on thoughts from other game developers at GDC's Day of the Devs, where we were one of a handful of games curated for the event, and at PAX East, which was the first time consumers got their claws on the Goodbye Volcano High demo. We're Team Fang, in case you missed that). Our integration team is so efficient right now it's wild, and we've gotten an assist from our Team Pilgrim programmers (in case you missed it: we operate under a "two team" format, where one team is making a game while another is in concept development so we always have something on the go. We’re also down to just a few pick-up lines of dialogue before we fully wrap on VO, which is huge, and our background art team is almost done, with only two members of our background art team remaining □ It’s so bittersweet to off-board team members from a game as it wraps up! Right now, the name of the game is integration: getting alllll those assets into Unity. The animations have been split up into two categories: poses or in-betweens (sound off in the comments if you wanna learn more about this process). Our animation team is on a strict wrap schedule that has all their remaining work mapped out for the rest of the game. Starting our dev update off with what's important lol: All the KO_OP staff members have their own dinosona now a lot of them are actually in this picture, at a big concert on the roof of the school. Thank you so much for your understanding - we can’t wait for you to play what we’ve been working on. Soon, we’ll be premiering another public demo and we hope you’ll all have the chance to check it out. We need a bit more time to make sure all that work really shines! We’ve been so honoured to hear such a positive response to our demo. GVH is a really special project for us and everyone on our team has done incredible work on this game. I know this isn't the easiest thing to hear-it is a difficult thing for us to do. This delay also moves our launch date out of a very busy June release calendar, opening us up to more incredible opportunities, and gives the game a greater chance of success. Meeting our original launch date would require our team to work nights, weekends and early mornings to ship and risk burning people out. Plus, we’re a studio that prides itself on avoiding crunch. We don’t want to release anything less than the best version of the game we have been making throughout our development cycle. This would mean delivering something much different than what we’ve envisioned and worked toward. The reality is that, with our current workload, we could not have met our June launch date without significant cuts to the quality and scope of the game. After assessing our production schedule for GVH, we’ve made the decision to move our launch to August 29, 2023. We have an important update for you regarding Goodbye Volcano High’s release date. Optimization of Autopano's memory use - Gigapixels are now more accessible to "modest" computers.Improvement of groups management - Sorting out images in a group was never so easy.Suppression of artefacts at zenith and nadir (360° photography) - Especially at the zenith, a clear spot could remain because of a bad stitching, often due to a lack of raw material.All the images which center is present in this zone will then be selected and you'll be able to move simultaneously a group of images to correct a sky in a gigapixel panorama, for instance. Zones selection tool - During the edition of the panorama, you can now use the CMD or CTRL key of your keyboard to select a zone in an image.Compatibility 4K/high definition/Retina monitors - The display is now perfect even on this new generation of high definition monitors.Improvement of the HDR fusion mode - Autopano Giga only - There was an HDR fusion mode but its manipulation has been improved.It will of course also improve the quality of shots taken free-hand. Stitching of an even better quality for aerial photography - Autopano Giga only - The stitching of aerial views hence which haven't been shot from the same point of view is even better.Increased stability of the mask mode - The final rendering is now similar to the rendering in the panorama editor.It is thus even easier to use this great mask mode to eliminate what you want. Mask mode easy to use and more efficient - Autopano Giga only - It is now possible to visualize the limits of the masks cutting zones.No need to launch a rendering to know the final corrections to apply. Realtime panorama editor - Edit your panorama in real time hence with the final result under your eyes.The editor works even faster (for very big projects) - because it is already particularly fast!.New color correction engine - My favorite new feature! - the program is now able to correct, almost perfectly most of the time, a big recurring problem in panoramas, especially in landscapes ones or in panoramas shot at dusk: vignetting and even more vicious, gradients differences. It is fundamental though for photographers like myself. The stitching algorithms have been improved even more, even if the difference might not be visible to anyone because they bettered the stitching of particular cases: this program has been doing a very fine job with "classic" case for a good while already!Īt Autopano's level, the improvements can only lie in the margins. Here are Autopano Pro/Giga 4.0's new features: What's new about Autopano Pro/Giga 4.0 (March 2015) and 4.4 (February 2017) They're the ones remunerating me and it doesn't cost you anything! Important! This tutorial as the rest of the site is free because you're a lot to play the game of affiliation which means buying your software and equipment from my partners. Through this tutorial in several pages, I'll first present you the software, then in a second page, we'll learn how to edit a panorama, before keeping on. One thing is sure, it's my favorite panorama software, before its main competitor PTGui, imagine! I thus want to congratulate and thank here Alexandre Jenny and Lionel Laissus, the designers, as well as the whole team at Kolor. It's remarkable how its designers keep listening to the complaints of users and thus how the software sanely evolves. I discovered Autopano at the end of 2005 and was immediately impressed. GoPro announced on Septemthat it was closing the doors of Kolor, so no more Autopano or Panotour!!!!!! We're going to have to fight about PTGui or whatever. Interface, preferences and new features in Autopano 4.4 Impeccable, understated yet refined interiors are awaiting you in all areas of The Moso. The Moso immediately embraces you like an old friend, and we felt right at home. From the moment you are whisked away by boat on the calm waters, framed by mother nature’s beauty, you will instantly be at ease. To describe The Moso as a slice of paradise, would be an understatement. All I can say is thank you, Anton and Joel, for creating such a beautiful and peaceful space to unwind. I have already emailed Joel to organise to go back in, hopefully, August this year and I’m already counting down the days. The food and drinks were lovely, my villa was beautiful and well appointed, the ocean was sublime and I snorkeled twice a day, the smaller numbers of guests made the whole feel much more intimate and relaxing, and I met some lovely people while I was there. Everything at the Moso was perfect for me and what I was looking for during my time away. I found the walk to the beach a bit of a challenge, but for most it would be fine…just make sure you bring proper walking shoes/joggers as the path is a little rough in places. You can snorkel straight out the front of the resort, but the better snorkelling is on the other side of the island at a stunning private beach that is owned by the resort. There are no TVs or WI-FI in the villas, but WI-FI is available in the restaurant/main area if you really want or need to stay connected, but once I started winding down (which happened on the first day), I was happy to not have those distractions in my villa. Anton, Joel and Andrew really have created the perfect holiday destination if you truly want to disconnect from the busyness of life. It is quiet and peaceful, and with limited guest numbers you often feel like you’re the only person there. If you are looking for a completely chilled out holiday, where you take your watch off and live on ‘island time’, then you will love this place as much as I did. I cannot rate this little piece of paradise highly enough. Thank you to all the staff at The Moso for making our group holiday so fun and easy and we cant wait to come back soon.… The Moso Magic Beach House has a wonderful outlook over the pool to the harbour where you can sit and read and sip champagne all day and if you feel like being a little energetic the snorkelling out the front is wonderful or jump on a paddle board and go exploring around the bay. The house was serviced daily by smiling staff who quickly and quietly tidied up around us and then vanished like they were never there. The house has a great kitchen with everything you need to whip up a simple omelette or bbq lunch for a dozen people. Joel helped us before we arrived to pre-order some kitchen staples so we could just have a late breakfast by our pool or a cheese platter as the sun went down. The menu changed daily with delicious curries, pizzas, seafood pasta and of course the firm favourite of all the guests was the tuna carpaccio - especially as we all saw the fisherman delivering the fish straight to the kitchen! On days that we just felt like lazing around at the Magic House we could order food and cocktails to be delivered to the house. The food was fresh and delicious and even though we were only a week after the two cyclones (without a lot of supplies available) you would never have known. We had wonderful long lunches under the trees and fully catered dinners for 20 night after night. Joel & Antoun were the ultimate party hosts and our whole holiday was effortless because of their care and organisation. The house is located next door to the resort so you can come and go as you please which is nice to be able to be part of the action but then when you need some timeout you can head home and find a lounge to curl up in and unwind. We recently stayed at Moso Magic Beach House as part of a large group celebrating a 50th Birthday at The Moso. Hotels near John's Authentic Island Tours.Hotels near Havannah Beach and Boat Club. The Chocó-Darién’s extensive areas of lowland forests and medium elevations represent one of the last opportunities to conserve relatively large areas of intact forest in the northwestern region of South America. Compared to the amount of remaining natural landscape, protected areas in the region are lacking in size. The central portion remains largely intact with minimal fragmentation and high connectivity.

Mammals are common throughout the region, notably including Geoffrey’s tamarin, tapir, puma, ocelot, jaguar, and the vulnerable giant anteater. 60 restricted range bird species harness the area, including viridian dacnis, crested ant tanager, the vulnerable Chocó tinamou and plumbeous forest falcon, and the endangered Baudó oropendola. The ecoregion connects two endemic bird areas in Central American and South America respectively. 127 amphibian, 97 reptile, and 577 species of bird have been recorded. diversity related to high variation in species composition between the aforementioned five subregions. Local endemism is characteristic of the region, indicating that many species have very restricted ranges of distribution and giving rise to an extraordinary β (beta)-diversity, i.e. Its flora is estimated to include 8,000-10,000 vascular plants with 20% of them strictly endemic. In southern areas it is common for multiple vegetation layers including lianas (vines rooted in the soil) and epiphytes (plants that grow on others) to be attached to the trees.Ĭhocó-Darién is one of the most active centers of endemism and speciation in the world. In flooded areas the cativo tree dominates. Characteristic vegetation in the northern areas of the ecoregion include the bongo, wild cashew, rubber, and kapok trees.

They will often eat fruits while moving between trees and discard the seeds on the way, giving it a chance to sprout in a new location.

The flagship species of the Chocó-Darién Moist Forests ecoregion is the brown headed spider monkey. Instead they are expert brachiators (like gibbons) and cartwheel hand over foot through the tops of the high canopy. When they do have to cross over land they are very susceptible to predation as they have a hard time “walking”. They are one of the most arboreally adapted primates and require large expanses of primary forest to thrive. The Critically Endangered brown headed spider monkey’s range includes two known locations in the Chocó region.

Posey had a limited number of pre-rookie cards created in 20, but the debut of the official Buster Posey rookie cards in 2010 marked the beginning of a decade-plus run of prominence in the hobby. Manufacturers jumped at adding Buster Posey cards to their later releases in 2008, placing the top prospect on several different checklists during his first year in professional baseball. Buster closed out his career in 2021 by guiding San Francisco to the best record in baseball and producing one of the best offensive seasons of his career. The Giants and Posey claimed a third World Series championship in 2014. In 2012, Posey led the Giants to a second World Series title, along with winning the National League MVP and batting crown. Posey took home the National League Rookie of the Year Award that same year. His impact on the Giants was immediate as the team won the 2010 World Series during his first full season. The team selected the backstop from Florida State, where he was one of the most decorated college baseball players to don the garnet and gold. The seven-time All-Star spent his entire 12-year MLB career as a catcher with the San Francisco Giants.

He is a near-certainty to enter the Hall of Fame when his name appears on the ballot. Buster Posey is arguably the best catcher of his era, helping the San Francisco Giants win three World Series titles over a five-year period. ^ Olney, Buster Stark, Jayson (March 30, 2013).He won his third World Series the following year as the Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals. On March 29, 2013, Posey signed a 9-year contract extension worth $167 million, a record in sum and in length for a player with his level of experience. He won his second World Series that year as the Giants swept the Detroit Tigers in four games. He became the second San Francisco Giant to win the batting title and was named the NL Most Valuable Player for 2012. 336 batting average to win the 2012 NL batting title. Posey returned from his injury in 2012 and posted a. In 2011, Posey missed most of the year after he was severely injured in a collision with Scott Cousins at home plate.

But they somehow managed it.Īs well as in troducing a ton of new Splunk features, Doug’s key messages were “Make things happen with data” and “People who can make things happen with data are the most valuable players on the field”. The Keynote talks present Splunk with somewhat of a logistical challenge – trying to fit between 9000 – 10,000 attendees in one space is no easy task. Slightly weary from the long-haul flight the day before, I retire to my hotel room at midnight to rest before the first official day starting with Doug Merritt’s Keynote. Live results were displayed on vast projection screens, showing the top ten teams as everybody battled it out for the top spot. This was a five-hour hackathon, and other than the relentless rattle of over a thousand keyboards, you could have heard a pin drop in the room. Using a realistic but fictitious enterprise environment, teams race to answer questions based on scenarios in the fastest time possible. These are hands on exercises where teams battle it out with Splunk as their weapon to defend against threats. Monday evening played host to Boss of the NOC and SOC events. Splunk are on fire though, and their efficiency of handling registration is as fluid as data manipulation and I’m registered, badged up and ready to.
