![]() Is it safe to travel to Mexico? Here's what you need to know “These are normally nursery habitats for fisheries … and once they’re devoid of oxygen, we have lost that habitat.” It comes in such “large quantities that it basically sucks the oxygen out of the water and creates what we refer to as dead zones,” Lapointe said. Sargassum can also quickly turn from an asset to a threat to ocean life. The problems with sargassum arise when it hits the beaches, piling up in mounds that can be difficult to navigate and emitting a gas that can smell like rotten eggs. “It serves as a critical habitat for threatened loggerhead sea turtles and as a nursery area for a variety of commercially important fishes such as mahi mahi, jacks, and amberjacks.” “This floating habitat provides food and protection for fishes, mammals, marine birds, crabs, and more,” according to the Sargassum Information Hub, a joint project among various research institutions. When adrift at sea, the algae can have upsides for ocean life. Sargassum is a catchall term that can be used to refer to more than 300 species of brown algae, although Sargassum natans and Sargassum fluitans are the two species most commonly found in the Atlantic. Here’s what you should know about why these masses happen and how they affect both humans and ocean life. “This is an entirely new oceanographic phenomenon that is creating such a problem - really a catastrophic problem - for tourism in the Caribbean region, where it piles up on beaches up to 5 or 6 feet deep,” Lapointe said. The seaweed is expected to show up on beaches in Florida around July, Lapointe said. Traveling west, the blob will push through the Caribbean and up into the Gulf of Mexico during the summer. Workers remove sargassum from a beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, in June.

![]() But there are moments, strong moments, where O'Neil tests the limits of Batman's commitment to his crusade. The premise is stronger than the actual writing. Venom is one of those stories that is a struggle to rank. It's a look at a side of Batman we rarely see. Of course, it's highly addictive and the always-in-control hero loses his grip, nearly assassinating Jim Gordon just to get his fix. Distraught, the Dark Knight finds a new alternative to strength training - a little pill that triples his strength. And Batman isn't strong enough to save her. Venom opens with one of the biggest failures in Batman's career. There's a methodology and a purposefulness to many of his actions. His psychosis is not chaotic, not as random as you might think. ![]() And that's ultimately what makes the Joker so frightening. To my knowledge this is the only story to ever suggest that, like Bruce Wayne, the Joker had to practice to perfect his art. He manages to bring some of that noir flair to The Man Who Laughs while maintaining the proper tone and pace for a good Batman yarn. Where Alan Moore's The Killing Joke tells the origin of the Clown Prince of Crime, The Man Who Laughs details the first tussle between Joker and Batman.īrubaker is one of the best crime writers in comics. This is Batman's introduction to his most nefarious villain, the Joker. Batman: The Man Who LaughsĪ mad man is targeting Gotham's elite and next on his hit list is millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. It's a book that also benefits mightily from the dynamic art of Doom Patrol artist Nick Derington. Universe is a zany romp that spans the full scope of the DCU and shares as much in common with the classic Silver Age comics as it does contemporary Batman fare. In a world where so many Batman storytellers seem intent on outdoing each other in terms of darkness and violence, it's refreshing to have a comic that celebrates the lighter side of the Caped Crusader. Sometimes surprises can be a great thing. But anyone who expected Bendis to return to the type of gritty crime drama that defined his early comics career was probably shocked by the contents of Batman Universe. When Marvel Comics mainstay Brian Michael Bendis made the jump to DC in 2019, it was inevitable he'd write a Batman story. Batman UniverseĬreators: Brian Michael Bendis & Nick Derington It also features one of the most haunting endings you’ll find in any Batman comic. Though this book technically serves as a piece of a much larger crossover, it also reads perfectly well on its own. Knight of Vengeance showcases a darker, meaner Gotham City that plays perfectly to Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso’s storytelling strengths. The result is a vigilante who manages to top even Bruce Wayne in the brooding and scowling department. In this alternate timeline, Thomas Wayne became Batman after his son was murdered in front of him. ![]() But as it turns out, the best part of this massive crossover didn’t involve The Flash himself, but rather Batman. Flashpoint: Batman - Knight of VengeanceĬreators: Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Rissoįlashpoint marked a critical chapter in DC’s history, paving the way for the rebooted New 52 universe and everything else that followed. To date, Earth One has spawned two sequels, and we're hopeful Johns and Frank have at least one more volume planned that will focus on a certain Clown Prince of Crime. ![]() It’s a refreshing spin on the classic dynamic that lets us appreciate how Batman would adapt to a world with more realistic limitations. No longer a kindly butler, Alfred is an ex-MI-6 agent who, instead of serving him tea and tending to his wounds, beats the crap out of Bruce to teach him a lesson. The crucial element that makes this story work is the overhaul of Alfred Pennyworth’s character. Also, instead of being best buds with Jim Gordon, he winds up socking him in the face. It’s a modern retelling of Batman’s early years where he’s not an infallible master detective who moves like a shadow - a point driven home when, while chasing a crook over the city rooftops, his grappling gun malfunctions and he lands in a pile of trash below. If Batman: Year One were written today, it would be Batman: Earth One. ![]() ![]() Wake up feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the day ahead.

With this study the Coalition wants to ultimately contribute to the public debate and put the need for regulation higher on the political agenda, through:ġ. Purpose and objectives of the researchĬonsidering the complexity of the matter, the lack of a coordinated coalition of NGOs following closely food price speculation in the context of the MIFID, the war in Ukraine and the inflation, the Coalition is looking for a consultant to produce a state-of-the-art report on food price speculation, that will provide the Coalition with an overview of existing literature, synthesise the content of the said literature and share the most relevant conclusions considering today’s current global food crises and our focus on the right/access to food for all. Others do not agree with this (including UNCTAD), stating that essentially there is now too much liquidity in the market driving up prices, and regulation is much needed.Ĭonsidering that food price speculation is complex due to the multiple financial products and actors it involves such as traders, investors, speculators, governments and the different interests and motivations at hand, we realise it makes it quite difficult to regulate but also makes it difficult for advocacy organisations to target the right policy making processes at the right time and with the right decision makers. On the other side, this vision is contested by influential institutions (such as FAO, IFPRI, and others), maintaining that speculators are necessary to maintain liquidity in the market to, hedge risks, and based on their analyses show there is no / not sufficient causality between speculation and higher food prices. Financial speculation on commodity derivatives markets (especially futures trading on exchanges) is seen as driving up food price volatility and food prices by a number of scholars. Since then, many new big commercial and financial players are participating in the food markets. After 2008, new regulations on commodity derivatives markets were put in place, but partly dismantled during deregulation in times of the covid-19 pandemic. ![]() The deregulation of financial markets has increased since 2000. The Coalition seeks to understand the mechanisms behind food price speculation and the impact speculation on the financial markets has on the price and price volatility of basic food products. ![]() PhpBB has built-in settings that allow you to control whether phpBB sends an e-mail via SMTP or using the mail() function.

Mia is also discovering that she is going to need to let go of the reins as the kids start socializing with friends at school and not just their siblings.

Alas, only new subscribers can use the included code, so if you already have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you're paying the extra $20 for the logo. The Xbox version shown in the image simply includes an Xbox logo and a month of Game Pass Ultimate, a $15 value, for $20 more. The standard version works with PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and One X and S consoles, as well as PCs. It essentially looks like a mini hard drive, which is kind of cool. This is an NVMe SSD (Non-Volatile Memory Express) that provides efficient performance and interoperability. It's thicker and more rugged-looking than your typical SSD or flash drive and includes a detachable stand with rubber feet to keep it from moving around wherever you place it. It has up to a 900MBps transfer rate, which is basically what a console's USB 3.1 connection caps out at. On its surface, then, the WD Black D30 game drive isn't all that special. The PS5 has the same restriction - you can only store full PS4 games on external drives. Note that with the Xbox Series X, you can only archive Xbox Series X and S games to this drive, you can't store full games on it (the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is required for that). You can use any SSD with your PlayStation PS4/PS5 or Xbox One, Xbox One Series X or Series S to store PS4 and Xbox One games and other content and pick up a nice speed bump when loading games compared with a standard external hard drive like the WD Black P10 above.

Several M.2 SSDs will work with the PS5 ( see our complete list) but ideally, you want one with an integrated heatsink. While the Seagate FireCuda 530 technically isn't an external SSD, it's not so different from Seagate's Storage Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X/S in that it's an NVMe SSD with very high transfer speeds (up to 7,300MBps, according to Seagate, though my PS5 listed the top rate at 6,800MBps ). However, that's not the case for PS5 games, which take up a ton of space and can only be played from the PS5's internal drive or an M.2 SSD that you install in a special expansion bay inside your PS5. You can expand storage for PS4 games on your PS5 by adding a standard external SSD because you can play PS4 games directly from an external SSD. Solid-state drives, on the other hand, don't have moving parts, which gives them up to four times faster read and write speed, but they cost a lot more per gigabyte. Prices have dropped significantly in the last few years, with even the high-capacity, state-of-the-art, all-around best external hard drive models tipping the scales at 5TB but costing just over $100. There are a huge number of high-quality hard drives and solid-state drives on the market, making it easy to find the right one for your needs and budget.Ī traditional hard drive or mechanical drive that uses "old" hard drive technology, with mechanical platters and a moving read-write head to access data, is adequate for most people, thanks to speedier USB-C and USB 3.0 (as well as 3.1/3.2) interfaces. Although the PS5 and Xbox Series X can't run games off external drives, transferring the games between the two is fast and efficient. The internal SSDs in the Xbox Series X and PS5 can only stretch so far. That's why you want to have the best external hard drive to store them. Not physical space, but storage space: Games are bigger than ever. Gaming can be an expensive hobby that takes up a lot of time and space. ![]() While working on 3D techniques, they fulfilled their Softdisk contract with innovative games such as Rescue Rover, Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion, Hovertank, and Keen Dreams. They also tended to offer large parts of the game as fully playable shareware. The company has always focused on franchises, but in the beginning they developed individual games in between. It would later evolve into two trilogies and an extra episode, comprising seven games in total. Their breakthrough game was Commander Keen in 1990. Jay Wilbur and Tom Hall stayed at Softdisk. While Adrian Carmack, John Romero and John Carmack founded their company, Lane Roathe, who had been kept aside from the work on Commander Keen, left the group for Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc. For the name, they dropped the "F" from IDF (Ideas From the Deep). Nevertheless, on 1st February 1991, id Software was born. The used up company time was revealed, and they had to write a new game every two months for Gamer's Edge to make up for it. Commander Keen was a major success, and as the first big money started to roll in, they decided to break away from Softdisk. He asked them to develop shareware games for his company Apogee, and they came up with Commander Keen, a trilogy, which they finished in December 1990, after working it in the evenings and at night, next to their day job developing games for Softdisk. Some time after the demo, Romero was contacted by Scott Miller, who went through great lengths to get to the Gamer's Edge developers. They sent the finished port to Nintendo of America in 1990, but it was turned down because Nintendo had no interest in entering the PC market. They called themselves Ideas From the Deep, a name that Romero and Roathe had previously used for their collaborations. As not to interfere with their regular work, they secretly borrowed the company's computers in the weekends, and worked on their port on another location, along with the help of Jay Wilbur. Romero knew this was a major breakthrough, and he wanted to break away from Softdisk immediately. They used this concept to create a PC demo of Super Mario Bros. Since 1981, PC graphic adapters were able to do this, but Carmack was the first to uncover and use the hardware and invented a software method he called adaptive tile refresh. In September 1990, programmer John Carmack was the first to recreate the smooth side-scrolling technique supported by Nintendo's NES hardware as seen in their Mario games. The company's originators, John Carmack (programmer), John Romero (programmer/designer), Tom Hall (designer), Lane Roathe (programmer) and Adrian Carmack, were originally developers at Softdisk's Gamer Edge, a games division creating Apple II and PC games for monthly subscription issues, but they were also working on projects outside of the company.
