The last bars of the Overture faded into obscurity Porcupines and hawks were eager, impatient Once back on the PCT, we hiked past the Zen trail and headed for Apache Peak.Than these walking sightless, tongueless, earless Going down the steep gully was as slow and difficult as going up. I don't think we succeeded in the latter. We took a fairly long break to enjoy the summit and tried to capture photos that did it justice. I searched to find Hikin' Jims entry and noted the others climbers I knew. Standard HPS red cans held the register that went back to 1998 and was a little more than half full. On the summit was a pole marker and a small US flag. Sean opted for a more direct, but more exposed track, and I switched back more to the right. We took different class 2 lines to the summit. I went first again and when Sean made it up, we angled left for easier terrain. It appeared that someone had done some clipping, because we found a relatively clear path to the next class 3 section. We passed left of the tree, then ducked under some small pines on a down sloping slab. We continued over the top boulders to find the dead pine tree, a sign we were on the right track. Sean waited until I reached the top of the crack before starting up. It would have been a dangerous hazard the rest of the way. The pole got hung in part of the crack, so as soon I reached the first ledge, I removed it from my pack and threw it down to the base. I collapsed my trekking pole and placed it in my backpack, then started up. At the base, I instantly recognized the starting class 3 crack from Hikin' Jims 2013 report. The other popular route to reach the base is the north ridge. I was a sweat faucet when we reached the top of the gully, the base of the Antsell summit. As the gully narrows at the top, some class 3 scrambling over boulders and trees was necessary. ![]() We both dislodged huge rocks on the way up and I often used vegetation to assist my climb. The ascent gully was very steep, rising about 750' in a third of a mile. From there, it was a quick half mile to the east ascent gully, marked with its own rock cairn. We managed to stay on track and emerged onto the PCT at the saddle between Antsell Rock and Apache. Near the top, it got a little confusing where deer trails competed with the eroded main trail. There was still a lot of burn damage from multiple fires in the past. Vegetation is starting to encroach on parts of it, but cairns and orange ribbon kept us on track most of the way. The climb up the Zen trail is steep in parts, gaining about 1300' in a little over a mile. We continued up the dirt road past three water towers on the left, then continued straight past the first switchback to the start of the trail. We walked past the entrance gate and stayed left at two road splits. ![]() ![]() The last mile of Apple Canyon Road is a good dirt road and the parking lot was on the left. Sean and I drove up Highway 74 to the Zen Mountain Center visitor parking lot. It is also one of the few mountaineers’ peaks in Southern California that requires more than the usual plodding to reach the third class summit. its stony buttresses make an impressive sight from most directions. From his book, Afoot and Afield: Inland Empire: Jerry Schad called it the jewel of the Divide. Named after a local artist, Antsell Rock is the most difficult peak on the Desert Divide, a high and jagged ridge running south from San Jacinto Peak.

I find it easier to find my way around, adjust zoom, adjust track position, etc. However, I think that REAPER’s display is a bit more intuitive. They are easy to navigate and visually enticing. REAPER and Logic Pro X’s visual displays are both excellent. While visual displays are fun to work with, remember that they take up more of your computer’s processing power. The difference is that REAPER’s plugins are pretty basic, looking to save CPU power, while Logic Pro’s plugins have fantastic visual displays. My pick for this category: REAPER Pluginsīoth REAPER and Logic come with a collection of excellent mixing and mastering plugins. No matter how you slice it, the choice is clear on this one! In contrast, Logic takes up either 1.1GB or 95.5GB (depending on if you download the sound library or not). REAPER’s download only takes 11MB-25MB, depending on your operating system. My pick for this category: Logic Download Size However, because Logic Pro has been around longer and is a bit more popular, it might have a leg up on REAPER here. REAPER and Logic have vast user bases active in the online music community via threads, forums, YouTube, etc.īoth DAWs have incredible communities, and if you have a problem with something within them, there is probably a tutorial video or an answer available. My pick for this category: Logic Community ![]() Meanwhile, Logic Pro is pretty easy to learn and comes with everything you need to produce music right out of the box. I’m a huge REAPER fan, but it takes time to learn because of its features and more open-ended workflow. When it comes to picking a DAW with a less steep learning curve and an entire collection of music production tools, I definitely lean towards Logic Pro X. My pick for this category: REAPER Ease Of Access Meanwhile, REAPER is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems. You cannot use Logic on anything that is not an Apple computer. On the topic of operating system compatibility, there is one crucial thing to note Logic Pro is only available for the Mac OS. My pick for this category: REAPER OS Compatibility That is an incredible deal for what you get with the DAW. Logic Pro currently costs $199.99, while the full license for REAPER is only $60. When it comes to price, REAPERdefinitely has the upper hand. Now, let’s compare some of the main features of REAPER and Logic. Logic is a bit more expensive than REAPER.Logic is great for modern music production.Lots of other artists and producers use Logic.From my experience, there is nothing another DAW can do that REAPER can’t do.Īlthough there might not be as many people who use REAPER as other DAWs (including Logic), it is a fantastic music production software that you can use to accomplish anything involving audio production. It certainly lives up to its name you can use REAPER for anything within the realm of audio/music production. REAPER is an acronym for Rapid Environment for Audio Production, Engineering, and Recording. Cockos released REAPER in 2006, and it has slowly but surely been gaining a loyal and dedicated following. REAPER is an incredible DAW developed by a company called Cockos. Let’s start by looking at the two DAWs we are comparing today. In this detailed DAW shootout, we will compare REAPER and Logic and take a close look at the features of the two. However, If you take your time and do some research, you can make an informed decision on which digital audio workstation best suits you.Īfter exploring the two DAWs and their unique features, I personally use both REAPER and Logic in different circumstances.

Genome editing can effectively improve plant genetic efficiency by targeting the design and efficient editing of genome-specific loci with specific nucleases, such as zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated 9 (CRISPR/Cas9).

Until Titanoboa’s discovery, the largest snake fossil ever found came in at 33 feet and weighed 1,000 pounds. History’s largest snake simply has no equal among modern snakes. Though scientists have debated the merits of the theory (if it’s true, some argue, why aren’t the lizards of our hottest jungles today similarly massive?), there’s no denying that Titanoboa was enormous. If it’s always hot, a cold-blooded creature’s metabolism will run at maximum efficiency - allowing them to dedicate that extra energy to growing larger and sustaining a larger body. Millions of years and dozens of feet of rock later, the bone became part of rich coal fields - which meant there might be others nearby.Ĭristóbal Alvarado Minic/Flickr This is your ordinary, run-of-the-mill anaconda. Their working theory was that the massive snake to which the vertebra belonged had been caught in a mudslide that buried it. It was an incredible find, and researchers immediately began combing the mines for more fragments of the jungle titan. They also uncovered a massive vertebra - a vertebra far too large to belong to any jungle serpent on record. More digging uncovered remarkable specimens: giant turtles and crocodiles, and some of the first bananas, avocados, and bean plants that ever sprouted on planet earth. Further study revealed that the fossil belonged to the Paleocene era - which meant the mine might once have been the site of one of the world’s first rainforests. The discovery was an intriguing one: it suggested that once upon a time, the area had been home to a sprawling jungle. The story of its reappearance began in 2002 when a student uncovered a fossilized leaf on a visit to the massive coal mine at Cerrejón in Colombia. Titanoboa is a shockingly recent discovery. Uncovering The Monstrous Snake Of Prehistoric South America It could kill you before you even had a chance to scream. What happened next scientists agree on: the great snake swallowed its giant prey whole - and if you had the terrifying experience of staring into Titanoboa’s mouth, you would be no exception. Wikimedia Commons Imagine that alligator tail is your arm. Some scientists think it killed by constricting and asphyxiating its prey, while others argue that though it looked like a boa constrictor (the resemblance that gave it its name), it behaved like an anaconda, lurking in the shallows and ambushing unsuspecting animals with a stunning blow. In the hot, humid jungle, Titanoboa fit right in: its brown skin camouflaged it perfectly as it slunk through muddy waters. At its thickest point, Titanoboa was three feet wide, which is longer than a human arm. That’s as long as a semitrailer you see on highways and about twice as heavy as a polar bear. This prehistoric species grew up to 50 feet in length and weighed as much as 2,500 pounds. ![]() ![]() ![]() The death of the giant reptiles left a vacuum at the top of the food chain, and Titanoboa gladly stepped up. Titanoboa, the enormous serpent of legend, thrived in the tropical jungles of South America some five million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Playing hide and seek encourages children to multi-task and find solutions. While there is not much wrong with being competitive, hide and seek is meant to be fun for everyone, and good sportsmanship is crucial. Learning the concept of good sportsmanship can help children not become too emotional after “losing”. Looking for a good spot to hide from others is a great way to stimulate their imagination and creativity skills. Boosts Creativityįinding places to hide can boost children’s creativity as they assess their surroundings. It’s also an effective way to teach children about being active at a young age to encourage better habits as they develop. Encourages Physical Exerciseīoth children and adults need exercise, and playing hide and seek is a fun and exciting way to get that essential exercise in. The older the child, the higher their ability to keep a secret, highlighting the development of a child’s mental state in a social world. The study indicated that hide and seek may help develop a child’s social behaviors because the game requires keeping a secret. How to play Start running and aim for the goal When a cat appears, tap it to stop Lets hide behind things so that. It must be loud enough to let the hiders know they must stop moving around and stay hidden in their spot. Hiding in things and running away Hide and seek game with easy operation. Once the seeker is finished counting, they must say something like, “Ready or not, here I come!”. For example, if you’re playing inside a home, you can say the basement or attic isn’t allowed if it’s too dark. Some areas can be declared off-limits if it’s too challenging or dangerous, keeping the game fair for everyone. Play either as a seeker or as a hider and build your shelters from cars or office desks, hide in the water, in the hay pile, in the cornfield, in the boss'.

Taking audiences to places theyve never been before, to meet people theyve. However, longer counts, such as up to 30, may be needed for larger areas. We craft transformative films that move people, organisations & the world. The seeker counts to an agreed number, which is usually 10. The seeker covers their eyes, often turning around against a wall or a tree. In this article, I am referring to the players as the “seeker” and the “hiders”. One player becomes “it”, the seeker, and their task is to find the other player(s) hiding. There will need to be at least two players for a game of hide and seek to work. Play either as a seeker or as a hider and build your shelters from cars or office desks, hide in the water, in the hay pile, in the cornfield, in the boss' office and most importantly, push others in the seeker's vision field. ![]() |
