She arrives with her raiding party, and Silver Dart Shi and Turtle Ma are killed in the attack. Hades Dai rages that Wei Fang has failed in his raid, and sends his elite warrior, Mantis, to retrieve the sword. He explains that he was in love with Shu Lien, but knew that Mu Bai was her true love, and had feigned his demise to seek a life of enlightenment in the mountains, as he knew that as long as he was alive, Li Mu Bai would not have asked Shu Lien for her hand.

You only get 4 stats split between prefix and suffix. Too much reliance on defensive stats with very limited stats on gear. You take "good" skills and build them the same way every time. No real class identity and lacking multiple "good" endgame builds. Gear hunt is just not great but they seem to be trying to make improvements. All I did was select a passive and for me I was very and extremely disappointed. In the end I don't feel like a forge guard. A lot of sentinels go forge guard the slap passive points into Void Knight and Pally tree to unlock VK and Pally skills. You have a lot of cross over skills and even passive point investment. I was hoping for different playstyles and builds. ![]() I bought Last Epoch because of a wheel that showed a mage becoming a sorc or a acrolyte becoming a necro, litch or warlock. So far not a lot of speed clears but some exist. ![]() Last Epoch is faster game play than GD but much slower than PoE ect. It's probably the slowest pace on the ARPGs vs PoE, D3, junk Wolcen and so on. I cannot speak for GD but with a massive positivity rating year after year it pretty much speaks for itself. Sorry just browsing and saw your question on Last Epoch and GD. Hopefully someone else can give you a more concise answer on which one is objectively better, but for me, T2 would win that choice (minus LE, cause I havent played it yet). T2 was like a clean, colorful, happy feeling when playing it. The drab colors, raggedy gear, and grimness of it all just dragged me down constantly. GD isnt a bad game, its just not my type of game, even though I did have some fun playing it and regard it as a good arpg. To compare T2 and GD, it will always be T2 because of the art style, different zones, gear, classes, polish etc. They put a lot of work into it and it shows. GD certainly is top 5 of all Arpgs though in terms of polish and content. I have never played it more than single player, so cant comment on how well the multi is integrated either. I loved Titan Quest to bits, but just cant get into GD - I think for me its the setting that I dont like. I havent played Last Epoch, so cant comment on that one ( its on my wishlist though and looks cool). ![]() ![]() In 1903, Verneuil announced that he could produce synthetic rubies on a commercial scale using this flame fusion process.Frimy and Auguste Verneuil manufactured artificial ruby by fusing BaF 2 and Al 2O 3 with a little chromium at temperatures above 2,000 ☌ (3,630 ☏). In 1877, Frenic and Freil made crystal corundum from which small stones could be cut.Ebelmen made white synthetic sapphires by reacting alumina in boric acid. In 1837, Marc Antoine Gaudin made the first synthetic rubies by reacting alumina at a high temperature with a small amount of chromium as a colourant.įour corundum axes dating to 2500 BC from the Liangzhu culture and Sanxingcun culture (the latter of which is located in Jintan District) have been discovered in China. Abrasive corundum is synthetically manufactured from bauxite. Emery-grade corundum is found on the Greek island of Naxos and near Peekskill, New York, US. Historically it was mined from deposits associated with dunites in North Carolina, US, and from a nepheline syenite in Craigmont, Ontario. Ĭorundum for abrasives is mined in Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Sri Lanka, and India. The record has since been surpassed by certain synthetic boules. The largest documented single crystal of corundum measured about 65 cm × 40 cm × 40 cm (26 in × 16 in × 16 in), and weighed 152 kg (335 lb). It commonly occurs as a detrital mineral in stream and beach sands because of its hardness and resistance to weathering. Other occurrences are as masses adjacent to ultramafic intrusives, associated with lamprophyre dikes and as large crystals in pegmatites. It also occurs in low-silica igneous syenite and nepheline syenite intrusives. Geology and occurrence Corundum from Brazil, size about 2 cm × 3 cm (0.8 in × 1 in)Ĭorundum occurs as a mineral in mica schist, gneiss, and some marbles in metamorphic terranes. In addition to its hardness, corundum has a density of 4.02 g/cm 3 (251 lb/cu ft), which is unusually high for a transparent mineral composed of the low- atomic mass elements aluminium and oxygen. It is a black granular form of corundum, in which the mineral is intimately mixed with magnetite, hematite, or hercynite. Emery, a variety of corundum with no value as a gemstone, is commonly used as an abrasive. It is commonly used as an abrasive on sandpaper and on large tools used in machining metals, plastics, and wood. īecause of corundum's hardness (pure corundum is defined to have 9.0 on the Mohs scale), it can scratch almost all other minerals. The name "corundum" is derived from the Tamil- Dravidian word kurundam (ruby-sapphire) (appearing in Sanskrit as kuruvinda). A rare type of sapphire, padparadscha sapphire, is pink-orange. Rubies are red due to the presence of chromium, and sapphires exhibit a range of colors depending on what transition metal is present. Corundum has two primary gem varieties: ruby and sapphire. It is a naturally transparent material, but can have different colors depending on the presence of transition metal impurities in its crystalline structure.

Statehouse Statue – Sony A7 II with Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 f/1.8 I like creamy backgrounds, but also appreciate lenses with a bit of ‘something’ in the background, and the Batis falls into this category. Others prefer some structure, while still others like some character in their lenses, from flaws in the bokeh. Some photographers prefer lenses that show very soft featureless bokeh. Bokeh is also among the most subjective of qualities to discuss. ![]() It’s definitely a lens that can pull double duty on full-frame and APS-C cameras.īokeh, or the quality of the out of focus areas of the lens, is of utmost importance in a fast short telephoto lens. It’s worth noting that the lens also displays excellent resolution across the frame on APS-C cameras like the a6000. It is an eminently impressive lens with regards to image sharpness. When stopped down, the lens displays equally impressive resolution, producing files that show tremendous levels of detail right into the extreme corners.

The shot below, taken at f/2.5, shows the beautiful blur combined with biting sharpness that the Batis shows at essentially any aperture. Right from f/1.8, the lens delivers incredible clarity and sharpness over almost the entire image frame, even when used on the ultra-high resolution A7R II. Only the very corners show a bit of softening at f/1.8. Portraits taken at f/1.8 can display that wonderful mix of exceptional detail and clarity on the eyes while letting the remainder of the image fall away beautifully to blur. ![]() The Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 is an exceptionally sharp lens. ![]() While, like essentially all lenses, it isn’t flawless, it performs extremely well in so many ways, and the way this lens draws is special.

The Groupo Trabajo Orca Atlantica (GTOA), an Atlantic orca working group, provides similar advice. Orcas will often approach boats out of curiosity, but he said it should not be the other way around. Much like foxes, coyotes have few predators, which is the main reason why. Learn about the grizzly bear, including where to see in the wild, their diet and how they hunt and conservation efforts in BBC Wildlife's expert guide. There are also animals that feed as scavengers on dead coyotes. They also fall prey to human hunting, as well as natural diseases found in the wild. He also said you should avoid approaching an orca from the back or from the front and try to stay on their side. Coyote predators include golden eagles, bald eagles, vultures, mountain lions, bears, American alligators, and wolves. ![]() If your boat encounters a killer whale, he said you should try to keep a distance of at least 50 to 100 meters, or 164 to 328 feet, turn off your engine, or at least slow down. Natoli also noted there are no known instances of fatal orca attacks on humans, but the recent conflicts with boats has caused some concern. "One can observe them from a kayak or paddle boat but always refrain from swimming with them." ![]() Results demonstrate differences in attitudes toward recolonization as a function of. Even scavangers like the giant Andean condor harass and steal the mountain lion’s kills. Pack hunters (like wolves) also kill adult mountain lions while smaller ones (like coyotes) hunt their cubs. Using 64 sources to assess dominance among pumas and other apex predators, they found that pumas are often outranked by black bears, grizzlies, wolves and jaguars, but are dominant over maned. "Never swim with these animals because they are much bigger than us, even the small dolphins," Ada Natoli, a professor at Zayed University Abu Dhabi and Founder of the UAE Dolphin Project Initiative, said. apex predators (black bear, cougar, gray wolf), in Illinois, USA. Only apex predators like bears and alligators can kill mountain lions in one-on-one fights. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. This often causes difficulty initiating sleep and is relieved by movement of the leg, such as walking or kicking. RLS is characterized by an unpleasant “creeping” sensation, often feeling like it is originating in the lower legs, but often associated with aches and pains throughout the legs. The healthcare provider may treat narcolepsy with stimulant medications combined with behavioral interventions, such as regularly scheduled naps, to minimize the potential disruptiveness of narcolepsy on the individual’s life. Episodes of narcolepsy have been described as “sleep attacks” and may occur in unusual circumstances, such as walking and other forms of physical activity. The sudden muscle weakness seen in narcolepsy may be elicited by strong emotion or surprise. NarcolepsyĮxcessive daytime sleepiness (including episodes of irresistible sleepiness) combined with sudden muscle weakness are the hallmark signs of narcolepsy. Health care providers may treat chronic insomnia with a combination of use of sedative-hypnotic or sedating antidepressant medications, along with behavioral techniques to promote regular sleep. Individuals with this condition may sleep better when not in their own beds. Chronic psychophysiological insomnia (or “learned” or “conditioned” insomnia) may result from a stressor combined with fear of being unable to sleep. Before arriving at a diagnosis of primary insomnia, the healthcare provider will rule out other potential causes, such as other sleep disorders, side effects of medications, substance abuse, depression, or other previously undetected illness. Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep may often manifest itself as excessive daytime sleepiness, which characteristically results in functional impairment throughout the day. ![]() It may also take the form of early morning awakening in which the individual awakens several hours early and is unable to resume sleeping. Insomnia is characterized by an inability to initiate or maintain sleep.
