It’s an extreme environment where little life exists beyond the native tiger species. ** LSU fans know that Death Valley is in Baton Rouge, LA. The stark images are meant to emphasize the dark effects of human activity on these ecosystems. * Nick Brandt’s book explores beyond Lake Natron and is a photographic safari across Eastern Africa featuring the region’s disappearing species. But because they thrive in this seemingly hostile environment, I’m filing them under Superphotosynthesizers here on this blog. By many accounts they have won the environmental lottery and live a pretty decadent lifestyle as far as basic photosynthetic requirements go (light, carbon dioxide, water***). So don’t be fooled into thinking that Lake Natron is really a Death Valley.** Also, I’m not sure if I would even call the cyanobacteria that live there superphotosynthesizers either. These conditions work together to create the algal blooms that give the lake its palette of red, orange and pink. Cyanobacteria have strategies for taking up both carbon dioxide and bicarbonate from their environment to ensure a steady supply to the Rubsico enzyme that can fix them into sugar. There’s so much carbon dioxide and carbonate around that it exceeds the amount of other ions in the water (calcium and magnesium) which react and precipitate out as insoluble carbonate salts. All of these carbonates are coming from the alkaline lava found in the general area of the Rift Valley. These caustic aka ‘soda lakes’ ensure that the waters there are saturated with carbon dioxide and bicarbonate. The solubility of the hydrated form of carbon dioxide (bicarbonate) is what increases in higher pH solutions. Well, for those of you sticklers out there, this isn’t entirely true either. the amount of it that can stay dissolved in the water) is greater at higher pH. Still confused? Here’s a quick chemistry refresher. The characteristic warm temperatures and abundance of direct sunlight in this shallow lake may make sense at first glance, but what about that awful pH? Haven’t we been taught that life prefers a pH closer to 7? Well, not necessarily if you are a cyanobacterium that feeds on carbon dioxide. ![]() These salt-loving superphotosynthesizers also transfer their color to the millions of lesser flamingoes that feed on them and use the lake as their nesting ground.Īs it turns out, the conditions in Lake Natron make it one of the most productive environments, photosynthetically speaking. The predominant strains include species of Spirulina, Cyanospira, Synechococcus and Chroococcus. ![]() ![]() At the producer trophic level, it supports several different species of cyanobacteria that give the lake its red color. ![]() While shallow Lake Natron is an extreme environment with a pH greater than 10 and water temperatures of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it supports a thriving ecosystem. “Reanimated, alive again in death.Satellite imagery of Lake Natron with features labelled. “I took these creatures as I found them on the shoreline, and then placed them in ‘living’ positions, bringing them back to ‘life’, as it were,” Brandt said. It’s that same salt that mummifies the creatures and preserves them into the calcified, statue-like figures that Brandt stumbled upon on the edge of the lake. “So things that get caught in the lake do die because they just get covered in salt very quickly.” “If you imagine a bird getting water on its feathers it would very quickly be too heavy to fly,” said Harper. It is very, very hot, so water evaporates very quickly, leaving only the crust of salt on the animal. It’s so caustic that only one type of fish – Tilapia grahami – and certain bacteria can actually live in it.īut it’s the temperature of the air around the lake that seals the fate of these animals. But when they try to land, or even worse, fall in, they become coated with water that has an extremely high concentration of sodium carbonate, a salt-like mineral.

![]() However, what it lacks in reach it makes up for with its invisibility. The Kaernk is only capable of attacking things that wander into the shallow pools that it inhabits. The most common death-hint shown after dying to a Kaernk. While the Kaernks in the wells are not by themselves dangerous, falling into a Kaernk-containing well is fatal.If Daniel did not do this at the first well, he would have to do so at the second well located near the Cells. To obtain a sample of Tampter, Daniel lowers a haunch of meat into the well and allows the Kaernk to feast on it. Cells – Two final encounters occur during the quest to recreate Agrippa's Potion, during which Daniel encountered a well-dwelling Kaernk.It seems that the Kaernk is trapped in the rubble from this recent cave-in as it is unable to enter the area and attack him. Once there, he can hear the watery predator growl. Sewer (Aural) – As Daniel explores the Sewer, he may come across a passageway that the Shadow has collapsed completely.Sewer (Visual) – On low sanity, Daniel may also "see" a Kaernk splashing towards him in the sewers but it cannot damage him.If Daniel stayed in the Cistern for too long or completes the Morgue before going there, a Kaernk will appear, even if Daniel doesn't have low sanity, it will attack if it gets the chance.It is a far less dangerous encounter here though, as Daniel can use the many walkways to easily avoid contact with the creature. However, if Daniel has completed the Morgue first, the Kaernk will actually appear in the water once the last valve is turned, along with the Shadow's fleshy residue. If Daniel's sanity was high enough, he will only hear the Kaernk growl and occasionally splash in the water as he turns the valves, but the creature will not actually pursue or attack him, making it seem like a hallucination. Cistern – Much later in the game, it is encountered for a fourth time, in the Cistern. ![]() Daniel must either run all the time and quickly open doors or slow it down by closing doors behind him in order to outrun it. However, hiding on boxes will not work, as it will easily reach and inflict serious damage. Archive Tunnels – In a chase to exit the area, the Kaernk is slower than the first.This is one of the most dangerous monster encounters in the game, as Daniel must evade two of the creatures in immediate succession. Cellar Archives – The first dangerous encounter and the Kaernk's true introduction.Laboratory (Visual) – Daniel can catch a glimpse of the creature early in the game as it splashes about below the grating on the floor.They are encountered in the following locations (the dangerous encounters are in bold): Kaernks, or the illusions of Kaernks, are encountered a total of six times throughout the game, three of which are purely visual encounters with no actual threat. The Kaernk, as an invisible water-based enemy, threatens and pursues Daniel through the flooded areas of the game. ![]() The options are extensive, from project management templates to meeting agendas, expense reports, and performance evaluations.

I have AB'ed my Mac playing CDs via my stereo vs the same music on my new CD player (Rotel 1077) and it is no comparison. I would like to use the computer to "serve" my music via my stereo, but the quality just isn't there compared to my new system. ![]() I hate to sound like an audiophile snob (I'm really not one), but I spent a lot of time working on the side to buy an absurdly expensive home stereo system (though still not to the price level of a true audiophile snob) and I mainly want to use that system to play these CDs (my assorted collection disks/play lists). My intention was to play these CDs on my home and car stereo - not play the music from my computer. Thanks to both of you! ElDiabloConCaca has what I was looking for with "lossless" formats. Would it make any difference for me to set iTunes to import using the AIFF encoder? Or just what is the highest quality/best setting to import CDs into iTunes (disk spacer is not a problem)? Is this right? I guess I am asking because I notice that when I load a CD and view its files, the Mac sees them as AIFF and the same occurs when I burn a disk - the files in the CD I burned show up as AIFFs too. ![]() I'm assuming I have it right by having iTunes set up to import using the WAV encoder, 48 kHz, 16 bit stereo (though I guess any 20 bit / HDCDs will not be in the original format, but I digress). This is kind of a dumb question I have simply avoided for years and I'm a little embarrassed about asking it (and I swear I did many searches here), but I am doing 100% legal copying of my CDs by creating new CDs with specific songs/artists for listening in the car and/or at home and I am wondering just what format will give me the same exact recording quality/format as the original? Additionally, this magnetic mesh screen door also has all 28 magnets sewn into place, so there’s no fear of the magnets sliding down the seam with time. However, this Apalus screen is securely sewn all the way. Screens are often not sewn properly and instead heat-sealed, so they tend to come apart.
![]() I wondered to myself.are those out of towners saying to themselves."biscuits aren't square." Needless to say, I'll be back. I explained all my favorite dishes! I told them it's well worth the wait! Well.I still feel like it's worth the wait, however I just didn't feel it was worth the major hype I rained down on these out of towners. I actually felt bad because some people from out of town were standing in line behind us and asked us if this place was worth the wait.well I proceeded to shower Biscuit Love with lots of high praise. Want to serve Biscuit Love at your next gathering Ship nationwide on Goldbelly Menu This menu is for all locations except the Gulch. Biscuit Love Bruch, is a fabulous addition to the growing breakfast scene in the Birmingham area. If children are saying this, I would take that as a sign. I can't quite put my finger on the difference(outside of the shape), but something was just off. I had overheard from the table next to us a woman and her kids had ordered the bonuts (biscuit donuts) that they were a little too sweet. ![]() Most popular dishes are the Bonuts, East Nasty and the Princess. The fast-casual concept serves American Southern food with a focus on biscuit-centered dishes. I doubt we're the first and I'm sure we won't be the last to implore Biscuit Love to go back to the traditional biscuits. Description: Biscuit Love's second Nashville location is in a part of town called Hillsboro Village. We asked the waitress and she said they had just started making the biscuits in a pan a week or so ago and cutting them into squares rather than the way they had traditionally made them all along. The churros are served with a chocolate gravy. Biscuit Love’s menu also has vegetarian and vegan options for its customers. The bonuts are served with a lemon marscaprone and blueberry compote. Biscuit Love is a great option for them since the menu has so many options including Bonuts, Biscuit and Sausage Gravy, Cheese Grits, and much more. However, my family and I went again yesterday morning and was super disappointed in the new square biscuits. There are so many people who love bakery products more than regular fast foods.

Once you emptied one of the piles completely you can start or move a new pile (or single card) here, starting with a King card. You can move a single card, a part of any pile or a complete pile on top of any other pile, but according to this rule - alternate colors and downwards order. Contrary to that the tableau piles are built down by alternate colors. ![]() Foundations are built up by suit, starting from Ace, then Two, Three and up to King. Your goal in free Klondike solitaire is to build the four foundations (in the rectangles in the upper right part). Enjoy free Solitaire games such as Klondike (Solitaire one card and three cards), Spider Solitaire, and Freecell. The remaining cards are placed in the stock at the upper left of the layout (face down). In each pile, all of the cards are placed face down except for the last one which is upturned. From left to right, each column contains one more card, so the first one contains just one card, the second one - two cards and so on. After shuffling, a tableau is set up with seven columns of cards. You play this free Klondike Solitaire with a standard 52-card deck (no Jokers).

I arrived at Holland Park tube station, and whilst the 8-minute walk is super simple (take a left out of the station and then a right and Holland Park walk) the sheltered pathway is quite dark at night so I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable taking this route after dark. For a full metro map of london, click here, or I would highly suggest downloading the free Tube Map app which makes my trips to London easy as pie! I don’t think I need to talk much more about the incredible setting of the hostel, but I can show you how easy it is to find from the closest metro stations. Private double rooms are available from £75 but get this… some of them have their own private roof terraces! Location If you decide to treat yourself to the luxury of Kings whist you’re there, your budget will have to stretch but you’ll still be paying a whole lot less than you would for a hotel in the area! Most rooms are also en-suite, but there are plenty of bathrooms if needed. The dormitories are designed in the modern Safestay style of their other hostels, with privacy curtains, readings lights, USB sockets and lockers for luggage. £15 to spend a night in a castle of Kings isn’t half bad… Staying at Safestay London Holland Park PriceĬonsidering the great location of the hostel, and the history of the building and area, it’s pretty incredible that beds in the mixed dorms begin from as little as £15 per night. The Mauritshuis is actually one of my favourite museums, but I have to say I found a preferable version to the classic painting at Safestay… You’ll have to keep your eyes open, and raised to the ceilings, to capture the alternative and colourful piece of art pictured above.ĭownstairs in the pool room, an incredible collage of Queen Elizabeth I dominates the pool room, composed of hundreds of tiny images of London…īut my favourite? Many visitors to the Mauritshuis (a beautiful museum in Den Haag), have claimed to be unimpressed with the famous portrait of the ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’. Today, the art that lines the hostel’s walls is a homage to the creativity and liberal minds that once flourished here. ![]() In the 19th century, writers such as Charles Dickens, Sir Walter Scott and John Allen were known to visit Holland House, ispiring within its walls heated discussions ranging from nature, to philosophy to politics. But that’s not to say they avoided the artistic and literary history of the iconic building entirely… The incredible renovation of the Grade 1 listed building by Safestay Hostels has done well to respect the incredible history and architecture of the building. The Artistic History of Safestay London Holland Park Now known as Holland House, the stunning property stayed in the hands of the Rich family (I promise I’m not making this up!) for 93 years until inherited by the Edwardes family in 1721. King Willaim III also resided at the renamed Holland House for a few weeks during the 17th Century.Īfter the death of Sir Walter Cope, the castle was inherited by his daughter and son-in-law, Isabel and Henry Rich, Countess and 1st Earl of Holland. Originally built as a castle by Sir Walter Cope in 1605, Cope passed away inside the walls of his castle on 30 July 1614.įamous guests at Cope Castle include King James I, who visited following the death of his eldest son, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales.
