![]() ![]() Kids keep asking me if there’s going to be a sequel. People have been amazed by how much writing and planning a writer does for a graphic novel, as well as the many stages the art goes through. The October events at Crandall Public Library and Northshire Bookstore will be this presentation. A lot of people - including writers - don’t know the process of writing a graphic novel.Īudiences have really enjoyed it. ![]() I show the stages the book went through from script to character designs to sketches to final pages and talk about the changes that were made. It’s hard to do a traditional reading for a graphic novel, so I’ve been giving a presentation instead. The events really kick off in October, when I’m doing at least one a weekend, plus school visits in New York and Vermont. I’ve done two launch events thus far, one at Porter Square Books in Cambridge, Mass., where I currently work as a bookseller, and one at The Odyssey Bookshop in South Hadley, Mass., where I worked when I wrote the book.

From a gameplay perspective, although each game tends to feature its own set of innovations and nuances, broadly speaking, they are all built on a simulation of a supply and demand economic system in which the player must maintain the various chains of production, building up their military strength and the robustness of their economy so as to defeat their opponents and achieve certain predetermined objectives. Narratively, each game is a stand-alone story with no connection to the other titles in the series (although Rise of an Empire is an indirect sequel to Heritage of Kings). In November, Ubisoft revealed the game was now called The Settlers: New Allies, and was released in February 2023. ![]() ![]() In January 2022, Ubisoft announced that the game would be released in March of that year. A franchise reboot, initially named simply The Settlers, was scheduled for release in 2019, but was postponed and all preorders were refunded. It was ultimately repackaged and released in 2016 as Champions of Anteria, an action role-playing game unrelated to The Settlers series. From The Settlers IV onwards, Ubisoft has published all titles.Īn eighth game in the main series, The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria, was scheduled for release in 2014, but after the game's closed beta was abruptly shut down by Ubisoft in light of negative feedback, the game was removed from the release schedule. With the exception of The Settlers HD, Ubisoft Blue Byte has developed every game in the series, as well as publishing the first three titles. There are also several spin-offs The Settlers II (10th Anniversary) (2006) is a remake of The Settlers II, The Settlers DS (2007) is a port of The Settlers II for Nintendo DS, Die Siedler: Aufbruch der Kulturen (2008) is a German-only spiritual successor to 10th Anniversary, The Settlers HD (2009) is a handheld remake of The Settlers IV, and The Settlers Online (2010) is a free-to-play online browser game. The original game was released on the Amiga in 1993, with subsequent games released primarily on MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows: The Settlers II (1996), The Settlers III (1998), The Settlers IV (2001), The Settlers: Heritage of Kings (2004), The Settlers: Rise of an Empire (2007), and The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom (2010). The Settlers ( German: Die Siedler) is a city-building and real-time strategy video game series created by Volker Wertich. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After three years of experience and completion of MIOC (MAGTF Intelligence Officer Course), you will be designated as a MAGTF Intelligence Officer, with leadership opportunities in both joint and Marine Corps billets.įollowing career designation and four or more years of intelligence experience (usually around rank of Captain), all Marine Corps intelligence officers from the four specialty intelligence MOSs (0203, 0204, 0206, and 0207) merge into the 0202 MAGTF Intelligence Officer PMOS.

At 1:30pm they put out a piece of paper that said "3pm bus, 10 tickets" with 1 through 10 numbered on the paper. I tried buying a ticket again just for kicks and was told to wait until 1:30pm. I read other reviews saying get to station very early, so I came back at 1pm so as to ensure a ticket for 3pm bus. They said I needed to come back at 2pm when tickets went on sale. I went to station at 8am seeking to buy ticket for 3pm bus. I'd read other reviews stating that people were able to buy their ticket in advance on the same day. Took this bus yesterday from Santo Domingo to Punta Cana. Overall, it's a good option for traveling between Santo Domingo and Punta Cana/Bavaro, but it has its quirks, so just be ready for these. OK, I know this is a lot of random information, but hopefully this at least fills in some of the gaps information wise that doesn't seem to be mentioned online. That last point isn't a knock against the bus company, but just something I thought I would note in case you were looking to plan a similar itinerary to me. Five, leaving Bavaro going to Santo Domingo the bus doesn't stop at the airport (it does going to Bavaro), so you won't be able to use this as a cheaper alternative to get to the airport after a stay at a resort (I looked into this). ![]() Maybe if you speak better Spanish than me and are able to plead your case to the driver, maybe you'd have luck with this, but I didn't get the sense that this was an option for anybody. Four, I read a few places online that they'll make special stops at your hotel upon request. It was in Spanish with no English subtitles, but they play it on loop, so after seeing it three times you'll likely be able to figure out the plot. I thought this was a bit strange, but I guess not the worst thing in the world. Two, during the bus ride they seem to pick up people that will sell snacks/drinks along the way. Few other things to note: One, I had tried emailing them some questions well ahead of my trip to help avoid some of the issues I ultimately ran into, but they never responded to my emails, so communication seems to be a bit of weak point. I had told them what my hotel was, so to their credit they at least knew the closest stop. The bus workers at least had me get back on the bus when I tried to get off at the first Plaza Bavaro. Turned out there were two different Plaza Bavaros. At first I thought I wanted to get off at a hotel close to my hotel and take a taxi from there, but then I was told to get off at Plaza Bavaro. They announce the stops as they arrive, but they're difficult to hear and understand. Everybody else, even passengers who seemed more local were confused as well. ![]() Their website lists all of the stops (which they kind of followed), but then they made additional unannounced stops, which made it a bit confusing as I was trying to count stop numbers. Once on the bus, everything was pleasant the whole ride, but it was very unclear where to disembark. Moral of the story there is to be persistent. Once we finally got on the bus there were plenty of seats available, so I'm not quite sure what the deal was with the ticket agent. ![]() When we arrived at the bus terminal we were told there was only one more seat left at the time we wanted (there were two of us traveling), but after we pleaded our case a little bit the ticket agent made a phone call and there were magically enough spots left. ![]() We listened to our hotel, but probably should have just heeded the website. Our hotel said 25 minutes early would be enough. Their website says to get there an hour ahead of time. Go to the first stop since the bus is apt to fill up by the second stop. There are two stops in town, neither of which are that close to the Zona Colonial, so you'll need to take a taxi to get there. As evidenced by this review I chose the bus option and would suggest doing the same. I did my research online and found out that for traveling between Santo Domingo and Bavaro/Punta Cana, you can either rent a car (which you're crazy to do), pay a fortune for a private taxi, or pay an affordable price to ride on a nice Expreso Bavaro bus. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fixed icons on Locations tab not redrawing when switching between light and dark modes.Fixed Locations screen not scrolling all the way to the top when tapping the Locations tab bar button.Fixed back button not appearing in alerts screen on iPad.Fixed the scattered nighttime showers SF Cyanide icon not rendering the moon with the correct color.Fixed Smart Layouts changing their layout styles randomly.

The temperature, the dew point temperature, and the relative humidity are related to one another. The closer the dew point is to the air temperature, the closer the air is to saturation. To know how close the air is to saturation, we need to know the dew point and the air temperature. The dew point temperature tells us nothing about how many water molecules are in the atmosphere or how close the air is to a relative humidity of 100%. When the dew point equals the air temperature, the air is saturated and the relative humidity is %100. The dew point is useful in forecasting minimum temperatures, forecasting the formation of dew and frost, and predicting fog. Changes in pressure slightly modify the dew point temperature. Thus, the dew point temperature is determined by keeping the pressure fixed. Changing the pressure affects the vapor pressure and therefore the temperature at which saturation occurs. The dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated without changing the pressure. ![]() It is therefore useful to know how much the air needs to be cooled to reach saturation. One way to approach saturation, a relative humidity of 100%, is to cool the air. Relative humidity is commonly stated during weather reports because it is an important indicator of the rate of moisture and heat loss by plants and animals. It is a useful term for expressing the amount of water vapor when discussing the amount and rate of evaporation. Relative humidity describes how far the air is from saturation. "We don't get a lot of it.Definitions: Dew Point and Relative Humidity More comfortable air will move in by early next week, with northwest winds helping cool temperatures to around 80 degrees by Monday and Tuesday.įor Joe Eichden, another downtown worker, a few muggy days are just fine. But "it will be feeling downright tropical through this weekend," the weather service said. The dangerous heat will subside slightly Thursday and Friday as temperatures slide back to 89 degrees and 85 degrees, respectively. Wednesday marks the 12th time this year the mercury has hit 90 degrees or higher in the metro, the weather service said. That was set on July 30, 1999, in Red Wing, when the dew point reached 84 degrees and the temperature hit 97 degrees, the Minnesota State Climatology Office said. The state record for the highest heat index is 127 degrees. The highest dew point of 82 degrees occurred at 3 p.m. The metro area recorded its highest heat index 52 years ago on July 11, 1966, at 119 degrees. "Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room and out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors," the weather service's heat advisory read. On Wednesday, the weather service was predicting heat indexes in the 95 to 105-degree range, conditions ripe for heat illnesses such as cramps, strokes and exhaustion. The higher the dew point, the muggier it will feel. The long and the short of it is, if you want a real judge of how "dry" or "humid" it will feel outside, look at the dew point instead of the humidity level. The combination of dew points, humidity and temperature form what's called a heat index, or what it feels like to be outside. And in the 80s, well, downright oppressive. Cross over into the 70s and it feels tropical. As dew points rise into 60s, it begins to feel juicy. "It's one of the most confusing things when the weather gets hot," said Michelle Margraf, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Chanhassen.Īs air gets warmer, it can hold more water. It's even tough for the weather folks to explain. Assuming the water vapor content stays the same, of course. When temperatures go down, humidity levels go up. In short, when the temperature goes up, the relative humidity goes down. When the air temperature drops below the dew point, water vapor comes out of the atmosphere, usually in the form of fog or precipitation. ![]() A high dew point can make a summer day feel tropical. ![]() ![]() ![]() YouTube is a convenient way for anyone to host and share videos of everything - from product videos and podcasts to dance performances and home videos - at zero cost.
