At 61 centimeters long and average weight, all signs indicated good health. As she laid her eggs (about 50 – 100) we recorded the number of scutes on her shell, scales on her head and her length. This was by far the coolest thing I’d ever seen or done. When she went into labor, what Manuel called a trance state, we could touch her and check her health. The Sea Turtles tremendous effort was instinctual, deliberate and independent. Patient and disciplined, he carefully guided me within inches of this beautiful primitive creature as she used her back flippers to dig a deep chamber in the sand as a repository and nest for her eggs. Manuel had grown up protecting sea turtles, emulating his father who had also been a guardian of the turtles. Three weeks later, layered in dark clothing and rain boots with a red light headlamp, I had a National Geographic worthy encounter with an Olive Ridley turtle laying her eggs. I was ecstatic to find out that Blue Osa featured a package which included yoga and volunteering with the turtle conservancy. Not only was it an eco yoga retreat, miles from modern civilization in an underdeveloped part of the country, they also connected guests with wildlife and adventures within the broader Osa community. But with precious little vacation and an exhaustive list of adventures to indulge, I never found the right combination. I only knew that they were threatened or endangered.įor years I’d thought about taking a volunteer trip. Doesn’t this sound like the best sea turtle rescue vacation ever?īefore I arrived in Costa Rica, I knew nothing about sea turtles.

I joined a handful of volunteers, following Manuel on a muddy trail through jungle overgrowth and rivers to arrive at Piro y Pejeperro beach. He was leading the night patrol, in search of sea turtles and their nests, as part of the Sea Turtle Conservation Program in Carate. I had officially begun my sea turtle rescue vacation. I met Manuel in the darkness of the jungle, at a turtle preserve on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. ![]()

![]() The publisher provided GamesBeat with a digital copy for the purpose of this review.This is a remake of one of Housemarque’s earliest games (originally released on the Amiga). Resogun comes out for the PlayStation 4 on November 15. If you’re getting it for “free” in a PlayStation package deal, keep the download and try it out. Ultimately, it’s best for huge fans of Super Stardust. Maybe it’s indicative of the shoot-em-up genre itself, but Resogun is ultimately a short burst in the PlayStation 4 launch lineup. It has gorgeous graphics and solid skill-based gameplay, with valuable online co-op support and just enough content to keep things interesting for a while. Resogun does everything it promises, and not a a bit more. That may not matter for most, since Resogun is free with a PlayStation Plus account (PlayStation 4 owners get a PS Plus trial), but I wasn’t compelled to keep playing once I hit my wall. If you’re aiming to climb leaderboards and be the world champion (or just beat your friends), hours and hours of satisfaction are likely ahead for you.īut if you’re looking forward to blitzing through tons of levels and unlocking extra ships, you won’t find much content past what’s offered upfront. As a smaller nitpick, I don’t like the change to the heads-up display, which no longer distinguishes your remaining lives or screen-clearing bombs.Īs mentioned before, Resogun’s value depends on how you approach it. Further complicating this, some players might get bewildered when trying to figure out their weapons and when to use them, and the audio cues aren’t obvious enough to be helpful. It has no obvious way to determine which enemy types are the ones that release human captives, and even when you figure it out, the distinction is still hard to spot. In particular, Resogun does a poor job of pointing out its own gameplay elements. The barrier isn’t that high, but the basics are complicated enough that it takes time to figure out a few critical things. What you won’t likeīy the end of my review, I was having plenty of fun with Resogun, but the first few flights can be frustrating thanks to the lack of a tutorial level or any training wheels. ![]() Score multipliers only go up to a certain point, which is a little frustrating on perfect runs. Once I was able to put it all together, I found myself in that “zone” where I was racking up points, saving lives, and beefing up my ship while confidently gliding through waves and waves of bullets. Thankfully, saving humans isn’t a requirement for success, so you can focus on getting used to enemy patterns, boosting through blockades, and timing your “overdrive” supershots at your own pace. The real challenge comes from balancing your safety against ferrying survivors to safe zones, which can net you extra lives, bombs, and other upgrades. You’ll race back and forth to pick up survivors, power-ups, and track down enemies, and the learning curve is shallow enough that you’ll adapt to new enemy types pretty quickly. The level design here is a smart take on the old-school arcade shooter Defender, especially since you can now glimpse everything that’s going on in the background. Resogun spends all of 5 seconds telling you about the story (you’re rescuing human survivors in a postapocalyptic sci-fi world), but the gameplay is deep enough that it doesn’t need a premise.Ĭhoosing from a small handful of ships, each level is built on a single circular track that rotates as you fly the 360-degree perimeter, avoiding gunfire and looking for human survivors. Getting audio feedback and subtle sound effect cues from the controller is a small contribution, but it’s a nice perk nonetheless. ![]() Sharp, pulsing audio only makes the experience better, and Housemarque uses the PlayStation 4 hardware to full effect. But I do know that the developer is simply showing off when they’re exploding the scenery into millions of high-definition boxes, and it looks damn good every time. In fact, so much is going on that you’ll sometimes struggle to keep track of where everything is in the levels, but the collective effect is downright gorgeous on a 60-inch HDTV display.įor some reason, Housemarque calls the various bits of the levels “voxels,” and I have no idea why. ![]() With every destroyed enemy and every burst of gunfire, a massive amount of particles, specks, and laser fragments always fills the screen.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. The Liberals briefly considered cancelling the retreat but are pressing ahead, though with expectations for less fun and more reflection. Trudeau is likely to give the caucus a similar speech to the one he delivered to his cabinet at its retreat last week, attempting to energize them all despite facing massive challenges at home and abroad.īut he will also use his remarks to pay homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who he had known since childhood and expressed clear fondness for both before and after her death on Sept. He will focus intensely on the cost of living crisis the Liberals have yet to tackle directly.Īnd Liberal MPs are coming to this retreat fresh off a summer barbecue circuit where many got earfuls about everything from a collapsing health care system and closed emergency rooms to financial struggles to buy food or pay the rent. Poilievre will go hard at the Liberals for bad management - expect to see him reuse his victory speech line about Canadians not wanting a government that runs their lives, but just one that can run a passport office. Instead, he ended up with almost exactly the same minority outcome as he achieved in 2019.Īnd the post-COVID-19 recovery era, in a world rocked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is providing plenty of tricky ground to navigate for a government some are seeing as tired and lacklustre after seven years in office. The Liberals are about a year out from the last election, which Trudeau called believing he could win back a majority mandate. “Whether it’s promoting volatile cryptocurrency to ‘opt out of inflation,’ wanting to weaken our gun controls, promising to make pollution free again, opposing support for the middle class, or allowing his caucus to bring forward anti-abortion legislation, the new Conservative leader is proposing dangerous ideas that would risk our economy, our health, and our safety," the two MPs said. In a written statement issued with Montreal MP Rachel Bendayan, LeBlanc called Poilievre "reckless" and tried to stoke internal Conservative division by saying even some Tories call the new leader's ideas "highly questionable" and "irresponsible." Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, one of the Liberals assigned to attend the Conservative leadership event in person Saturday, issued the first salvo at a Poilievre-led Conservative caucus minutes after the winner was declared. ![]() Gerretsen made the post from the road, where he was documenting a drive from his home to St. Kingston and The Islands MP Mark Gerretsen, one of the more hyper-partisan Liberal MPs on Twitter, posted an emoji of a smiley face after Poilievre's win was announced.

Publicly, however, some Liberals are celebrating Poilievre's win. ![]() Andrews, N.B., this week.ĭespite murmurs throughout the leadership contest that a Poilievre victory would split his party, the Liberals in charge have privately said they are preparing to go to battle against a united, single Conservative party.

The point of concentrates is for a drag-free smoke, and that requires condensed chambers to easily send the vapor directly to your lungs. Take the classic Faberge egg rig design, for example. But dab rigs have changed significantly over the past several years, and dabbers have traded in beaker bongs and straight tubes for dab rigs that are half the size or smaller. Of course, larger pieces always make for an impressive presence! When dabbing first broke into the mainstream, dabbers often put heating elements on their large water pipes and called it a day.

As a guideline I usually read on the back of the dry yeast packet how much fresh yeast it equates. 5 g of fresh yeast equal about 2g dry yeast. You can use dry or instant yeast instead of fresh but you will only need a very small amount.However, I have tried this recipe with several brands of flour in different countries and all-purpose flour has always done a good job everywhere. The dough should feel easy to knead and not sticky, so adjust the flour if your type delivers a wet dough with these quantities.It is important that the water is neither too cold not too warm - room temperature or slightly warmer, it should feel the same temperature as your hands, lukewarm.Please subscribe to my newsletter and follow me on Pinterest. If you’re planning to make this recipe at a later time you can pin it to Pinterest. If you enjoyed this small batch pizza dough recipe, leave a comment below. Wanna try pizza with less yeast?
