Historic Natural Range: Southern and Eastern Africa (from Namibia, through Zambia up to Ethiopia, and all countries to the East) and in a East to west running belt from Ethiopia to Guinea (Southern edge of Sahara)Ĭurrent Range: In several National Parks primarily located in Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania & Kenya.īlack Rhinos are browsers and primarily feed on leafy plants, branches & shootsīlack Rhinos are known to eat up to 220 different species of plant.īlack Rhinos can live up to 5 days without water. Decrease in black rhinoceros numbers and the distribution of the species across sub-Saharan Africa. Habitat: grasslands, savannahs and tropical bush land. Through the past 200 years (until 1998), there have been 775 animals recorded in zoos, of which 292 were born in captivity Of the 20 countries where black rhinoceros samples could be obtained, aboriginal populations of black rhinoceroses persist today in only five (Table 1). Pre 20th century numbers: several hundred thousand.Ĭurrent numbers in captivity: At the end of 2004, there were 277 black rhinos in captivity. In general, diversity was lower towards the limits of the species’ range in West, North-East and South-West Africa. Western black rhinos had very poor eyesight, unable to clearly see anything. Their extinction was caused mainly by poachers killing them for their horns, which are highly prized on the black market and used in traditional Chinese medicine. Gestation period: around 15 to 16 months.īirth intervals per calf: 2.5 to 4 years. The rarest of the black rhino subspecies, the Western Black Rhino was officially declared extinct in 2011.

What does this mean? It means that Astroneer is still very early in to its development. 4 player online drop-in/drop-out co-op.Snap together components and objects to create custom vehicles and modules.Build vehicles and travel to new planets and moons.Survive on and explore procedurally generated planets that can be entirely deformed and traversed.Reshape terrain as though it were made of Play-Doh.Resources can be traded or crafted into new tools, vehicles, and modules to create everything from massive industrial bases to mobile rover bases. On this adventure, a player’s most useful tool is their ability to shape their world, altering the terrain and extracting valuable resources from planets, and moons. Once there post a message in the channel, and other players will message you back via DM, where chat amongst yourselves should continue.Explore and reshape distant worlds! Astroneer is set during a 25th century gold rush where players must explore the frontiers of outer space, risking their lives in harsh environments for the chance of striking it rich. On the Official Astroneer Discord server, see the multiplayer channels for each platform to find players.

Most of the other rooms in Vault 111 include a reactor room, a recreational area for Vault staff and the overseer's office. There was also a security checkpoint, a feature that most other Vaults lacked. While painted in the prelude, the Vault door is rusted and dull after the Great War. The inner door opens first, followed by the hatch opening. Unlike other Vaults, the entrance to Vault 111 not only has an atypical pneumatic hull but also acts as a hatch which gives way to an interior elevator. However, it is later revealed that the release was, in fact, a personal choice made by Shaun, now director of the Institute, and not a Vault system error as initially thought. Sixty years later, due to an "error" in Vault 111, the Sole Survivor is released from cryo-stasis and escapes. Upon accessing the Vault 111 monitoring terminal, they learn that all of the other subjects that had entered the Vault, except for themselves, their spouse and their child, had died of "asphyxiation due to life support failure." In Dangerous Minds, the Sole Survivor discovers that Kellogg had been directed not to reactivate the life support for the other residents and not to release them. When that parent wouldn't relinquish their hold on their son, Kellogg murdered them while the other parent watched helplessly, trapped in their own pod, before being placed into stasis once again.Īfter witnessing the murder of their spouse and the kidnapping of their child, the Sole Survivor awakens in Vault 111 after being held in cryogenic stasis for 210 years. However, the child was in a cryo-stasis pod with one of his parents. Seeking a source of pure human DNA to form the basis of their generation 3 synths, they sent their agent Conrad Kellogg and two scientists to retrieve the infant. In 2227, the Institute had discovered the location of the Vault, along with the fact that it contained an infant whose DNA would be completely uncorrupted by post-War radiation. Ī version of Shaun's abduction in which Nora is killed There is no further account of events to be found, as the logs end here on both the security terminal and the overseer's terminal. In response, the overseer placed the Vault on lockdown and demanded all staff to hand over any food, weapons and medicine. Shortly after, a faction led by the Vault's security and support staff engaged in mutiny against the overseer in an effort to unseal the Vault door and leave the Vault. Despite requests from the security staff, the overseer refused to unseal the Vault door, concerned that the radiation outside the Vault had not declined enough to be survivable. However, after the 180-day mandatory shelter period elapsed, Vault 111 received no signal, and its staff faced dwindling supplies. The cryo-stasis pod room built for the experimentĪccording to Vault-Tec standard operating procedures, Vault 111 was to remain sealed for a minimum of 180 days, after which the Vault could be opened upon receipt of an "All-Clear Signal" from Vault-Tec, or at the overseer's discretion. Soon after, the residents were given their jumpsuits and were placed in stasis pods after being told deceitfully that the purpose of the pods was for decontamination. A nuke on the horizon caused a blast all the way to Vault 111 with these particular survivors barely making it inside. A batch of survivors waited on the platform to descend, including the parents of an infant named Shaun. However, a security team prevented unauthorized residents from entering, even the Vault-Tec rep who advertised the Vault. On the morning of the Great War, many of the residents had known that America was being bombed, causing a group to flee to Vault 111. The residents of Sanctuary Hills desperate to get past the security checkpoint Test subjects were lured to Vault 111 from the nearby neighborhoods of Sanctuary Hills and Concord. Vault 111's staff consisted of an overseer and a small team of scientists, security guards and facility maintenance personnel employed on a short-term basis. Located overlooking Sanctuary Hills, Vault-Tec designed Vault 111 to observe the effects of long-term cryogenic suspended animation on unsuspecting test subjects. He recently signed a recording deal with Sony in Canada and released a new single on 15 September. Since early 2020 Josh has been entertaining us with exclusive monthly live sessions, streamed via Facebook. It gives the song a stunning new dimension and is the perfect closer to a very diverse selection. Isolating the vocal track from the “Rumours” version, a string arrangement has been added by Vince Mendoza. The album climaxes with a new orchestral version of the classic ‘Songbird’. ‘All You Gotta Do’, a groovy duet with bass player George Hawkins, dates from the 2004 sessions too but is released for the first time here. The other cuts from “In The Meantime” are the beautiful love song ‘Northern Star’ (written by her nephew Dan Perfect, who was co-producer and guitarist on that album), the bluesy ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’, and the laidback ‘Givin’ It Back’ which was co-written with one-time Fleetwood Mac guitarist Billy Burnette. A fun and lively, almost power pop, song, it’s been given an added country feel courtesy of Ethan Johns’ slide guitar. The previously unreleased ‘Slow Down’ was originally written for the film American Flyers but never used. From the same source is the atmospheric Steve Winwood co-write ‘Ask Anybody’, which includes some fine piano synthesizer from Winwood, much in line with the sound of his own solo releases from that period. The uptempo ‘The Challenge’ dates from 1984’s “Christine McVie” long player and features a distinctive Eric Clapton guitar accompaniment, as well as backing vocals by Lindsey Buckingham. This helps to give the 1980’s era cuts a more contemporary feel, and also achieves the goal of making this sound like a fairly seamless mix of songs. This collection has been produced and remixed by Glyn Johns, with Guy Fletcher and Ethan Johns adding new instrumentation to the majority of tracks. Next up, from the same album, is the more mellow ‘Sweet Revenge’. A soaring, catchy number, if McVie had still been part of Fleetwood Mac at the time then it would have slotted perfectly onto their “Say You Will” album. Opening proceedings here, as indeed it did on 2004’s rather overlooked “In The Meantime” album, is the stunning ‘Friend’. The booklet includes an in-depth interview by Johnnie Walker, where the background to each song is discussed in detail. “Songbird” contains a remixed selection from her 19 solo albums, along with two previously unreleased tracks and a newly orchestrated version of the title track. This is the first release to bear Christine McVie’s name since her excellent 2017 collaboration with Lindsey Buckingham (which was essentially a Fleetwood Mac album without Stevie Nicks). Share the post "Album review: CHRISTINE McVIE – Songbird: A Solo Collection" Finally, the recognition and incorporation of the Jewish roots of the Christian faith builds a small, but potentially significant, cultural bridge with the Jewish people. Within an increasingly agnostic West, a covenant, creation and community centred worldview offers fresh insight and a significant contrast to the individualistic drift of modern, protestant-evangelical culture and praxis, with its dualistic perspective of earth and heaven and concomitant focus upon personal salvation and eternal heavenly “escape‟ from earth‟s “mortal coil.‟ Within the increasingly Christian South-where community-centred readings of Scripture are normative and worldviews are more free of anti-biblical, secular, atheistic and materialistic philosophical presuppositions-burgeoning, missional Christian communities can relate readily to a biblical theology of covenant, creation and community as a vital, educational, theological introduction to the Bible. Insight into the Jewish roots of Scripture and, in particular, the biblical covenants and the vocational communities of both Israel and the Church, proffers a significant contribution towards such a renewal, potentially rendering a widely appealing paradigm: centering upon God‟s commitment to creation, in partnership with his covenant community incorporating the combating of evil through pursuit of this-worldly peace, justice and dignity for human beings lived out amidst the biblical backdrop of an ultimate Judgement and Regeneration. In order for Christian faith and community to flourish within this hostile cultural climate, the challenge of missiological renewal and reformation needs to be embraced, so that Christian theology, missional praxis and culture to flourish in new ways. reformed, dogmatic, systematic, critical, non-contextual etc.-having undergirded Western Christendom during the past two centuries, are presently creaking under the strain of post-modern, post-colonial critiques and worldviews. Significance and Value of Findings Traditional, post-Enlightenment theologies-i.e. To aid recognition of vital theological threads woven throughout the biblical narratives, the thesis develops a graphical “panorama” of the biblical narrative. It uses biblical rather than philosophical terminology, presenting the Bibles message within the framework of a primarily Hebraic worldview. The thesis seeks to express the message of Scripture according to Scripture’s own priorities. Both recipient and giver of New Life a sign, symbol and harbinger of creation‟s ultimate, glorious liberation from bondage. Amidst this corrupted creation, the vocation of the covenant community is to be an incarnate Messenger of Hope. En-route to this finality, the biblical worldview incorporates the bondage of creation to the effects of sin and its partners: death, disease and decay. The biblical view of creation ultimately anticipates its global renewal, whereupon heaven is united in harmony with earth, God dwelling amidst his people. A “covenant community” who receive a vocation commensurate with the relationship into which they have been brought. Each biblical covenant is associated with a community. The new covenant inaugurated by the Messiah likewise forms the dominant paradigm governing the New Testament. Covenant forms the dominant paradigm governing the biblical worldview. An examination of its Jewish or Hebraic roots provides considerable fresh insight into the Christian faith and worldview-particularly in respect of covenant, community and creation.

GATLANDER Inertia Series Semi-Automatic Shotgun You’re practicing what it feels like to embody the future you you’re becoming. And you balance the two.Īs you walk, you’re learning what it feels like to do the same thing you’ve been doing with your eyes closed – creating and sustaining mind and heart coherence relaxed in the heart awake in the brain – with your eyes open. And, when you walk, your senses pick up on cues from your outer world – while, at the same time, you keep your awareness on your inner world of thoughts and feelings. You keep remembering who you are.Īnd then, you open your eyes. With your eyes closed as you stand, you tune in to your heart … and breathe … and ultimately feel your heart’s energy interacting with your brain. You remember who you are – who you truly are, as your authentic self. In the guided meditation, you get centered and think about who you no longer want to be – and who you’re ready to become. Just like you’ve done seated, I’m now asking you to evolve your experience and practice something similar while standing. When you begin, you’re standing still with your eyes closed. Here’s what you might experience when you practice the Walking Meditation. ‘Walking’ You Through a Walk: Embodying Your Future Self If we can consider our seated or lying-down meditations as a rehearsal, then Walking Meditations are more like the performance: the act of becoming. Walking Meditations give us the opportunity to do just that. Our goal is to rise from our meditation as a new person, feeling new feelings, thinking new thoughts, and committed to new behaviors … and then to stay awake in our day, practicing what it feels like to embody that new character. We’re not practicing for that hour each morning – becoming no body, no one, no thing, no where, in no time entering the unlimited realm of unknown potentials awake in our coherent hearts and brains – to then rise, unchanged, and default back to the automatic patterns of the old personality. It’s important to remember that all the time, effort, and practice we put into our meditations – seated and lying-down – is not simply to have a good meditation. And that’s how I developed my approach to Walking Meditations. It’s about practicing with our eyes open. In terms of our work, when we practice feeling elevated emotions, thinking new thoughts, and behaving in new ways in meditation, it’s so we ultimately can sustain those feelings, thoughts, and actions in our daily lives. In the parlance of the acting world, the work actors do to inhabit a new role – memorize the script learn their lines practice speaking and moving as that new persona – is ultimately for a performance, where they fully embody that character for the duration of the show's run. Now, we’re at a point in the journey where we encounter an important question: what is all this repetition and rehearsal for? In Part II, we focused on rehearsal and repetition as essential practices in becoming a new character – with some open-ended questions designed to help us envision how we’ll think, feel, and behave as that new personality creating a new personal reality – as a protagonist becoming a hero. In Part I of this series, we examined the idea that life in this 3-D world is all an act … that we’re all actors on a stage – heroes on a journey – in this plane of demonstration. Recently, we’ve been exploring the talents and methods actors use when they take on a new character – and how we can apply similar skills to our own practice. Note that the default maximum script execution time is 30 seconds, but you can use sleep() and usleep() to make your scripts go on for longer than that because technically PHP does not have control during the sleep operation. The above script could be rewritten like this: Using either of them is far more accurate than the previous time() loop, and they both have their advantages - sleep() is better if you do not need the accuracy, and usleep() is better if you do. Definition and Usage The sleep () function delays execution of the current script for a specified number of seconds. Even if you do sleep(60), worker processing that job will be sleeping, not your loop. The difference between sleep() and usleep() is that sleep() takes a number of seconds as its parameter, whereas usleep() takes a number of microseconds - millionths of a second - as its parameter. The loop continuously executes until the condition is false. condition - Evaluate each iteration value. The initial value of the for loop is done only once. The parameters of for loop have the following meanings: initialization - Initialize the loop counter value. A much better solution is to use the one of the two script sleep functions, sleep() and usleep(), which take the amount of time to pause execution as their only parameter. The php for loop is similar to the java/C/C++ for loop. This script goes through all active users and updates credits of each user. Schedule the execution of this script for example every 1 minute using Cron. Secondly, PHP has to sit there looping thousands of times while it waits, essentially doing nothing. Create a PHP script, which will update user's credits. You will likely find yourself using for loops a lot in PHP programming, so they are incredibly important to understand. Firstly, time() has a very low precision, only returning the number of whole seconds that have passed, which makes the whole thing quite vague. The for loop continued to iterate until it no longer matched the condition within the for loops parenthesis. How to output javascript and make sleep or wait work in foreach loop. While it does work, there are two problems with it. repeat php sleep method inside a foreach loop each iteration. Some people (thankfully very few) choose the first option and write code like this: Using mutexes is higher overhead and roughly 1/20 the performance and a lot more work for the O/S.When you want to pause execution in your script, there are two ways you can implement the code. If you doubt that, compare the performance of Mutexes and Critical sections. Polling, if done well, can be more efficient than waiting on an object (which the O/S scheduler has to pay attention to.) A good combination of SRW locks and Sleep can produce much better results than using objects to wait on. e.g, at least in Windows, you can't wait on some window that belongs to another process to finish painting itself. In addition to that, there are events for which there are no available objects that can be created to wait on. Sleep is very low overhead and lets the O/S know that for n milliseconds, the thread doesn't need any attention. One of the nice things about Sleep is that it doesn't require the application to create an object to wait on and the O/S to maintain and pay attention to it. Make sure that the displayerrors setting is turned On in your php.ini file (or use iniset() if you can't modify the file itself), and that your errorreporting() is set to EALL ESTRICT for PHP < 5.3, or EALL for PHP 5.4 (ESTRICT is part of EALL as of that version). It is written precisely for this by people who tend to be very good at their job. Even if they were launching the same number of processes, cron would be better. Sleep(n) where n > 0 is simply a mechanism to inform the scheduler the thread does not require CPU cycles. Your sleep approach, on the other hand would require your actual sleep command, your shell, your terminal, and the while (or whatever) loop to be running at the same time. I'm making a php file that will run an event after five minutes have elapsed. The company said it has made $265 million in incremental investments in its nationwide pharmacy team this fiscal year and has created dedicated positions to manage inventory and administrative tasks for pharmacists. Walgreens representatives also told CNN that there have never been corporate quotas and that all task-based metrics for retail pharmacy staff as part of team members’ performance reviews were eliminated last year. “Walgreens isn’t responding, they’re not fixing those things.”Ī representative from Walgreens said the company has increased training for new pharmacists but has put a pause on what it called “non-critical” training during the busy immunization season. “We don’t believe that Walgreens is allowing us to give our patients safe care on a daily basis,” the organizer explained. At the same time, the worker said, they’ve cut training hours for new technicians. However, in reality, staffing is much lower than that. The company sets performance expectations based on the number of team members each pharmacy should have, said the pharmacy worker. As a result, employees often find themselves falling behind and dealing with angry customers. The coordinated action at some Walgreens stores is in response to what pharmacy employees call burdensome prescription and vaccination expectations levied on pharmacists from corporate management, according to the organizer.

The planned action comes after pharmacy employees walked off the job at multiple CVS stores in the Kansas City area last week. Some employees plan to walk out for just one day, while others expect to shutter their pharmacies for all three days.Įmployees at more than 500 of America’s approximately 9,000 Walgreens stores across the United States have expressed interest and solidarity, a Walgreens pharmacy employee and walkout organizer said, though fewer will likely end up participating.ĬNN spoke to employees at three Walgreens stores in three states who said they plan on walking out. Pharmacy employees at some Walgreens stores, including pharmacists, technicians and support staff, are planning a walkout between October 9-11, an organizer, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution from the chain, confirmed to CNN. Now, they’re demanding change by staging a series of walkouts across the country. Employees at two of the largest drugstore chains in the United States say harsh working conditions make it difficult to safely fill prescriptions, which could put the health of their customers at risk. |
