![]() Recognizing that he might not be ready to talk, she changed the subject and offered to get Jason some Big Belly burger. Barbara immediately offered comfort and support for Jason. During the match, Jason still dealing with his grief from his trip the Lazarus Pit, suffered a panic attack. As Renee left, Barbara smiled and remarked how she found the statue to look just like how she remembered him.ĭuring some of her downtime at the Belfry, she and Jason engaged in a dancing video game rematch, with Barbara teasing Jason about his previous loss. They both reminisced over her father, with Renee noting how they had changed the statue, and it looked nothing like Jim. There, they began their investigation into Kirk Langstrom, as well as properly setting up The Belfry as their place of operations.Īt some point, while on patrol, Barbara went to her father's memorial. That same evening Barbara was present as The Bat Family went inside The Belfry for the first time. ![]() That evening, Barbara was with Nightwing, Robin and Red Hood at Bruce Wayne's grave discussing Batman's Last Case File. Following this, she attended his funeral along with the other members of the Bat Family. Batman had initiated Code Black a protocol meant to maintain his mission and protect his identity should he ever die. There she helped to retrieve the dead body of Bruce Wayne. On the night of Batman's death, Batgirl was summoned to Wayne Manor following its explosion. His death inspired Barbara to undergo a great deal of physical therapy and healing, which ultimately allowed her to resume the use of her legs and become Batgirl once again.ĭuring Gotham Knights: Gilded City During Gotham Knights Later, her father was ultimately killed in the line of duty. During her time as Oracle, she worked with the Birds of Prey and became a dependable ally with them. Making her base of operations in the Belfry, she had access to nearly the entire city's computer network. Her skills as a hacker became an invaluable support resource of Bat Family. ![]() They remained on good terms and were able to maintain both a friendship and professional relationship.įollowing a confrontation with the Joker, Barbara was relegated to a wheelchair and took the identity of Oracle. Though they dated for some time, Grayson broke it off for unknown reasons. ![]() She began a romantic relationship with Dick Grayson. Inspired by Batman, Barbara Gordon assumed the identity of Batgirl and fought crime with the rest of the Bat Family. Barbara also displays great skill when it comes to hacking or coding in computers and technological systems to dig for information. Her signature weapon is the tonfa, which also becomes a nunchaku. With extensive training and rehabilitation, she recovered from her wounds, and returned to active duty as Batgirl.īarbara is highly trained in a variety of fighting styles, such as kickboxing, capoeira, and jiu-jitsu. After a face-off with The Joker that put Barbara in a wheelchair, she became Oracle, a powerful information and communications expert. Jim Gordon gave his life for Gotham, and now she wants to make sure it wasn’t in vain. Having one of Gotham City's most well-known police commissioners as a father had a massive impact on her. In her mind, backing down is never an option. Barbara has always been a person of action.
![]() Chilly leaves them a bit susceptible to the cold, but not nearly enough to guarantee that they will get sick. Instead, just shoot to keep things at least chilly or above. Your goal here isn’t to keep everything liveable. Remember to juggle between the main steam level and the Overdrive system to burn less coal but still keep everything warm and toasty for your citizens. Throughout the storm you’ll also want to pay careful attention to the temperature and the generator’s power level. Ideally, you’ll want to have a good 6,000 to 7,000 coal saved up, as well as around 3,000 to 4,000 food rations, depending on the size of your city. While you can fast forward through the storm, we suggest letting it play out, as this will give you more direct control over your resources. Expect to see some citizens perish, but hopefully the preparations that you’ve done will keep most-if not all-of them alive. So too, an interest in Magic: The Gathering has persisted since William’s youth, and he can frequently be found watching Magic streams on Twitch and reading over the latest set spoilers.Now that you’re prepared for the storm, batten down the hatches and prepare for the most grueling time your city has ever seen. Now, William enjoys playing Super Mario Maker 2 on the Switch with his daughter and finding time to sneak in the newest From Software game when possible. This interest reached a height with MMORPGs like Asheron’s Call 2, Star Wars Galaxies, and World of Warcraft, on which William spent considerable time up until college. William’s first console was the NES, but when he was eight, it was The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Game Boy that fully cemented his interest in the format. ![]() All the while, William’s passion for games remained. Upon graduating from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, William entered the realm of fine arts administration, assisting curators, artists, and fine art professionals with the realization of contemporary art exhibitions. William Parks is an editor at Game Rant with a background in visual arts. And finally, fans can collect as many Steam Cores as they want from the Army Warehouse in Frostpunk's On the Edge scenario. Another appears in The Refugees, as a small quantity of the Resource can be harvested from two Destroyed Steam Core Transports in that scenario. One comes up in the A New Home scenario, where establishing an Outpost in Tesla City will award one Steam Core every day. While scouting is typically how players will go about procuring their Steam Cores, there are a few other acquisition methods that are worth mentioning. RELATED: New Epic Games Store Free Game is Something Unexpected Those Resources include the very-desirable Wood, Coal, and Steel, and indeed scouts will occasionally come back with some Steam Cores in hand. For the uninitiated, scouting is the act of sending scouts into Frostland, and they will return from their expeditions with various Resources. To put things simply, the primary way to get Steam Cores in Frostpunk is through scouting, which can be performed after a strategy game fan has established a Beacon. Fortunately, the process for earning this Resource in Frostpunk is quite straightforward, though fans will find that they do not have a great deal of control over their acquisition. This makes Steam Cores quite an important Resource in this city building game, but some players may be unclear about exactly where to obtain them. Steam Cores in Frostpunk are used in the construction of Factories, Coal Mines, and other buildings, as well as Automatons. ![]() ![]() It’s surprising how far frogs are able to roam, with common frogs found to travel 500m and common toads travelling up to 5km. For many species this means heading to ponds during the breeding season, and spending the rest of the time on land, hunting insects in meadows, among leaf litter and in other locations. Most frog species are not fully aquatic, and will spend part of their time in the water and part outside. It’s believed that frogs and toads are able to sense these changing humidity levels, and then travel towards higher humidity in search of suitable wetlands. These levels tend to be higher around waterbodies, such as ponds, as the water in the pond evaporates and rises into the air. The humidity levels naturally fluctuate over time and in different areas. Humidity refers to moisture levels carried in the air. Like many animals, they are naturally drawn towards places with higher prey densities. Most frog species are generalist feeders, and will eat almost anything they can get their mouths around. Once at the waterbody, insects can multiply quickly if the conditions are good enough. For these species flying over waterbodies is a great way to find them. Many of these insects have an adult form that can fly, such as dragonflies, mosquitos and water beetles. Insects are a common part of pond life, from those that live below the water, to those that live above it. Uses visual cues like tree shadows and landmarks for orientation Relies on visual memory of specific landmarks to navigate in its range Utilizes the moon and stars for orientation during long-distance travel Yet, there is a bit of science behind a frog’s ability to hone in on their new homes. So how do these frogs know where the new pond is? Without the ability to fly, and only small legs for travelling long distances, it really seems like some kind of froggy-magic. While this may be unsuprising when the new pond neighbours an existing pond, it can be particularly amazing when there are no frog-friendly premises nearby. If you’ve ever created a new pond, you may have been surprised how quickly amphibians, such as frogs, may have appeared. For these species finding ponds can be a challenge, particularly as many ponds disappear over time, filling in with sediments. Yet, there are many species of frog and toad that use pond as an important feeding and breeding ground. ![]() I have a thing for reading inspirational poetry books at bedtime since they always seem to put me at ease, and reading at night, in general, is perfectly conducive for sleep. Hey There! I’ve been reading some poetry books lately and thought that I would like to share two of my favorites with you guys. Two Poetry Books To Read At Bedtime Octo/ OTHER STUFF / 0 comments Stay tuned for the second batch of books I’m going to recommend soon. What do Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe have in common? How did Charles Darwin manage to finish his “On the Origin of Species” despite having a psychosomatic disorder? And why was Andy Warhol a hoarder? This is a book about the minds of some of the greatest personalities in our history and why they became the way they were. If you haven’t read one of her poetry books yet, well, her books have sections for whatever your heart is going through or whatever it desires.Īndy Warhol Was a Hoarder by Claudia Kalb – Here’s a Psychology book that reads like a very entertaining novel. Ever since the release of her first Pillow Thoughts book, I’ve become a fan and I really like how her words rhymed and the overall emotion conveyed on every page of her books. Pillow Thoughts I & II by Courtney Peppernell – I don’t think I’ve ever read a poetry book as interesting as Courtney Peppernell’s. Morgan’s words will touch your heart and this is the kind of book we need nowadays. ![]() This handy hardcover with a beautiful floral illustration is full of poetic healing words that are transformational and inspirational. Also, Georgianna is an amazing photographer with such Pinteresting work.Īll Along You Were Blooming by Morgan Harper Nichols – Such a great powerful book of poems by Morgan Harper Nichols whom I discovered through Instagram. I absolutely adore these “in Bloom” books and these are perfect for Spring. Paris, New York, and London in Bloom by Georgianna Lane – If you don’t feel like reading, you can just sit and browse through the beautiful pages of Georgianna Lane’s coffee table books. This was a quick read and Jen had put some very interesting self-affirmative advice that a lot of you will mostly like. I actually liked this book a lot and even more so than the first book. You Are A Badass Everyday by Jen Sincero – If you’re a fan of Jen Sincero and her original badass book, you will most probably like this one. So, without further ado, check out this first part of the books I recommend to read while social distancing. It’s going to be hard at first especially when thoughts are racing inside your head, but it’ll get easier as soon as you get into the habit. Although it’s hard to read a book nowadays because a lot of us are worried, reading can actually provide a momentary distraction and a sense of focus. ![]() While I do like to binge-watch shows on TV (yes, I did watch Tiger King and Crash Landing On You :-)) and run to the tune of Dua Lipa’s “Let’s Get Physical” (how ironic is this song given our current situation?), I’m also a big fan of reading. Also, taking advantage of the extra time most of us now have will help to make us feel productive. Establishing some sort of normalcy in our lives during these times is really challenging but it’s good for our sanity. Part 1 Ap/ OTHER STUFF / 0 commentsĪs we try to make sense with our new normal, it’s very important that we keep our day to day activities as consistent as it used to be as possible. Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell Books to Read While Social Distancing. ![]() Because Apple has full control over their processor design, they have optimized the ISP to work with their iOS. It controls all the variables - from the light sensitivity (ISO), focus, shutter speed - which determines the image quality. It analyzes the raw images to determine their color and size. The ISP is the “brain” of the camera which turns light gathered by the sensors into images. Thanks to the Bionic Chip, Apple has better Image Signal Processing (ISP). Have you ever wondered why iPhone cameras provide better quality photos compared to cameras in Android phones? Despite them having a lower megapixel count? Sometimes, picture quality is not just about the size of the camera’s sensor, but also how the picture is processed. Back when Windows mobile, Palm OS, and Nokia Symbian were the market leaders, smartphones were seen more as a “capable” PDA for businessmen, techies, and entrepreneurs.Īpple iOS - by focusing on simple and intuitive UI, makes their devices so simple to use, anyone can use them. Introduced in 2007 for the first-generation iPhone, it revolutionized the mobile sector. ![]() IOS is the operating system Apple designed for its mobile devices. As such, with an iPhone you are less likely to experience bugs, heating issues, and sub-optimal performance. ![]() This allows them to optimize the hardware with software (and vice-versa). Compare Qualcomm which needs to create a one-size-fits-all chipset for all OEMs (including Samsung and Xiaomi).įinally, given their control over the design of the Bionic chip, Apple also has full control of all the components in their phones. Given they are designing processors just for their phones, Bionic Chip can also be tailored to Apple’s requirements. This allows Apple to design their own processors from scratch, taking precious weeks off from the development cycle. Apple has the advantage of having an architectural license with ARM. Qualcomm (for Android) and Apple both source their processors from ARM – a British software and semiconductor company and the market leader in the development of mobile processors.Ĭreating new chips to outperform the previous generation is a long and tedious process. Before we jump into what makes the Apple Bionic chip different from processors powering Android phones, we need to understand where it comes from. The Bionic chip is the processor which powers all of Apple’s mobile products. Let us explore five key differences: The Bionic Chip IPhones are different from Android phones in so many ways.
