As such, Mosasaurus had a streamlined body, elongated tail that ended with a hypocercal downturn that supported a two-lobed fin, and two pairs of flippers. Mosasaurus was a type of derived mosasaur, a latecoming member that has evolved advanced traits such as a fully aquatic lifestyle. The first remains of Mosasaurus known to science are fragments of a skull in 1764 at a subterranean chalk quarry under Mount Saint Peter, a hill near Maastricht, the Netherlands. 5.1 Distribution, ecosystem, and ecological impact.Tail muscles gave Mosasaurus the power needed for ambush attacks. It is not unlikely that other mosasaurs if not all mosasaurs had this tail fluke to achieve even better swimming capability. It has been recently discovered that the mosasaur genus Platecarpus has a tail fluke on its tail which would aid with swimming. It was also possible that mosasaurus actively chased down its food by using explosive speed and stamina to hunt prey like ichthyosaurs. To achieve this tactic, It was probably counter shaded so its top was dark to camouflage against the dark ocean below the target and light underneath to camouflage against the sun's bright light. Mosasaurus more than likely used the same tactics sharks use today to hunt large prey such as plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs by going down far beneath the prey and getting one devastating surprise attack to avoid injury. It is assumed that mosasaurs swam alone since their bite marks have been found on other mosasaurs indicating aggression and territoriality among the species. There are some other species of mosasaur that specialised in eating this kind of prey so they had stronger bites than Mosasaurus who was a generalist predator so it would take anything that fit into its mouth, not unlike tiger sharks today. Mosasaurus probably had a strong bite force due to eating prey like giant turtles in its time. It was very elongated and thin in the body so it was more streamlined so it could move faster for longer periods of time than plesiosaurs who could only accelerate for short periods. Its fins were probably used for steering and balance when swimming, not like plesiosaurs who used their fins as their primary means of locomotion. How it did this is when it was biting down on something large, its jaws would dislocate and unhinge so it would be able to take bigger bites. Mosasaurus had unusual skull anatomy which is actually double-hinged like a snake (albeit aquatic and with fins). He was the first to reach the conclusion that the remains were those of a giant monitor lizard, which result in 1799 he corresponded to Georges Cuvier who formally identified it as a completely new but extinct creature (at the time extinct animals were assumed to be like extant animals but giant). In 1798 the son of Petrus Camper, Adriaan Gilles Camper, studied the fossil indirectly by reconsidering the description by his father. It was initially thought to be a species of whale or crocodile considering its large teeth but De Saint-Fond still assumed the specimen represented a crocodile. It was similar to the North American Tylosaurus, but at 18.5 meters (61 feet) in length, it was even bigger. Its name means "Meuse river lizard", as its fragmentary skull was found near the Meuse River in 1764 by lieutenant Jean Baptiste Drouin. This genus existed during the Maastrichtian age of the Cretaceous period (Mesozoic era), around 70–66 million years ago in the area of modern Western Europe and North America in a western interior sea and was one of the last mosasaurs. Mosasaurus were giant carnivorous, aquatic lizards, somewhat resembling flippered crocodiles, with big elongated jaws. Mosasauruswas a genus of mosasaur from the Late Cretaceous period.

They are initially portrayed as monsters, but by the time you’re finished with the first tape, you have a much better idea of what you’re doing in the game. I can’t explain how impactful it is to see mentally ill characters be extended sympathy and understanding. They want that helping hand because things have gotten worse. These “bosses” just want a bit of reassurance. Left unfettered in their mindscapes, they’ve become twisted and set in their self-destructive cycles. Someone whose condition got the better of them. Each tape has a central “boss”, that is just a patient. In Sound Mind doesn’t have “bad guys” in the traditional sense. She then disappears into a smattering of gold light. The main character reassures her, and she shows her face. Once defeated, she’ll sulk off to a corner where you can find her, crying. You use a series of mirrors throughout the store to trick her into smashing into them. It’s been hinted that she hates her appearance due to an accident. It was when I got to the end of Virginia’s tape that the game got me. I wandered the supermarket, solving puzzles and engaging in surprisingly solid combat. All you know is that Virginia can’t stand seeing herself after an accident as a child. It drops tantalizing clues as to the story of the people whose mind you are rooting around in, but never give up the full picture until you complete their tape. Moving through the store will give you a bit of a story around Virginia, kept intentionally vague. You enter the mindscape of Virginia, which is a retail store. Seriously, I’m going to spoil the first tape. When you arrive in their mindscape proper, you’ll notice that it is designed around their conditions. These tapes show off the fantastic writing of In Sound Mind. I don’t want to spoil anything too badly, but I will say that these tapes usually show these patients’ ATL, or all time low. On the way, you’ll find recordings of their sessions, where you can listen to the player character talk with them through therapy. Entering a tape for the first time, you need to make your way towards a secondary doorway that places you in their actual mindscape. You, as the player, must collect recordings of therapy sessions and play them back in your office, opening doorways to your patient’s minds. Tapes are In Sound Mind‘s version of levels. These items are gained through playing tapes. I mentioned in the title that I’m going to call In Sound Mind a metroidvania, and I will now explain my reasoning: In the apartment building hub, there will be areas blocked off that you need special items to access. The apartment building acts as a hub world. Due to some temporal strangeness, he can now access their apartments from within his building. In his work as a therapist, he saw a varied array of patients. Actually, it’s something wrong with the entire town he lives in. He has access to his apartment, but strangely, there’s something…odd, happening with his building. In Sound Mind tells the story of a man trapped in a kind of between-place. I talked to DreadXP Head of Production Ted Hentschke, who told me to stick with it. I was exploring around an old apartment complex and solving puzzles. It seemed like the bog-standard walking simulator. I must admit, my first hour or so of In Sound Mind wasn’t great. Made by a talented mod team, hooked up with The Living Tombstone, it was looking to change how we interact with horror games. In Sound Mind was on the tip of everyone’s tongues moving into the spooky season. That being said, we can now move into the goofy jokes section, followed by some earnest introspection on the role games play in our mental health…or something like that. I hate to push people away from the things I write, but as someone who lives with mental illness, I understand how In Sound Mind‘s themes could affect people. If any of that bothers you, don’t read this. Before I start in with the pithy jokes and goofy non-sequiturs. I should probably warn you ahead of time. In Sound Mind Review – No One Can Stop Me from Calling this a MetroidvaniaĪvailable on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5 Additional genetic research is likely warranted to better understand the distribution and taxonomic status of the racer complex.Next Working Day (if ordered before 11PM Sun - Fri / 9PM Sat)ĭelivery is on a selected date, you can choose a delivery day of your choice, up to 10 days in advance (excluding next day delivery. It remains to be seen if these colorations indicate simple variation among individuals, or if the distributions of these three subspecies are changing. foxii), which occurs east of the Mississippi River. Louis area have a blue body coloration more similar to a third subspecies, the blue racer ( C. Throughout much of the Ozarks, there appears to be more of a southern black racer influence based upon coloration, but it is unclear if southern black racers are more widely distributed in Missouri, or if this coloration represents intergradation of the southern black racer and eastern yellow-bellied racer.Īdditionally, racers captured in the St. flaviventris) and southern black racer ( C. Missouri's populations of the eastern racer ( Coluber constrictor) require additional research before the distributions of our different subspecies are understood.įirst, the eastern yellow-bellied racer ( C. These fast-moving snakes depend on speed and agility to escape predators and tor overtake prey. Many racers, along with several other species of snakes (western ratsnakes, eastern gartersnakes, and brownsnakes), have been known to overwinter in rock-lined old wells in several counties in Missouri.Īs the name implies, racers can move fast, especially through tall grass or brush. They will also spend winter in human structures such as stone walls, building foundations, abandoned wells, and cisterns. They may also overwinter in caves, sometimes along with other species such as western ratsnakes, and they are known to move around within a cave to select the optimum temperatures for overwintering. In more open habitats, racers may overwinter in animal burrows, such as those made by mammals and crayfish. On wooded, south-facing hillsides, this species will overwinter beneath rocks, within rock crevices, and within rotting logs and stumps. They appear to be most abundant within the remaining sand prairie and sand savanna habitat of southeastern Missouri. They have been observed along swamps near limestone bluffs, soybean fields, and brushy areas near drainage ditches in southeastern Missouri. The southern black racer subspecies has been less studied in Missouri. They are highly visual and often seen raising their head or “periscoping” in grassland habitat to view the world around them.Įastern yellow-bellied racers live in a wide variety of habitats, including native prairies, grasslands, pastures, old fields, glades, brushy areas, forest edges, and agricultural fields. During spring and fall, racers are often found on rocky, wooded, south-facing hillsides. Racers are also good climbers and can be found basking in small trees or bushes. Active during daytime, they can be observed searching for food or basking on sunny days. Racers are active March through November, with a peak from late April to early August. The southern black racer is usually uniformly dark gray to bluish black and has a prominent white chin and throat. It is the only subspecies occurring in the Bootheel lowlands. Similar species: In about the southeastern half of Missouri, the eastern yellow-bellied racer subspecies overlaps with and/or is replaced by the southern black racer subspecies ( Coluber constrictor priapus). When captured, they struggle violently, bite viciously, and discharge musk and waste matter from their vents. When alarmed, racers try to escape quickly and sometimes vibrate their tails. The juvenile pattern fades with age, and by the third season most or all of the dorsal spots disappear. The belly of young racers is normally cream colored with some dark gray speckling. Hatchlings and young racers are strongly patterned with closely spaced gray or brown mid-dorsal blotches and smaller, alternating spots on the sides over a tan ground color. Racers have a slender body, proportionately long tail, smooth body scales, and a divided anal plate (the last belly scale, which covers the anal opening). The belly is yellow, ivory, or light blue gray. The eastern yellow-bellied racer is a medium to large, slender, smooth-scaled snake with a uniform but variable dorsal (upperside) color - adults three years of age or older can be tan, brown, olive, blue, gray, or nearly black. It aims to provide stability for travellers and the travel industry throughout 2022, ensuring the UK remains one of the best places in the world to do business. The framework set out today is intended to be one that will last. Before the end of February, eligible fully vaccinated travellers will only need to fill out the passenger locator form ( PLF), which will be simplified, confirming their vaccination status, travel history and contact details, and people will have an extra day to fill it out before travelling. Thanks to the success of the UK’s vaccine and booster rollout, the government is now able to reduce the number of travel restrictions, ensuring there is a more proportionate system in place for passengers. The simplification of travel rules comes just before half term, providing welcome news for families looking to travel abroad during the school holidays, as well as an extra boost for the tourism industry. The changes announced today (24 January 2022) mean that the UK has one of the most free-flowing borders across Europe in addition to having the most open economy and society. Travel changes come in ahead of February half term, and follow the success of the booster programme.Īll testing measures for eligible fully vaccinated travellers arriving in the UK will be removed from 4am on 11 February, as the government goes one step further to reopen the travel sector.Children aged 12-15 in England will be able to prove their vaccination status or proof of prior infection via a digital NHS COVID Pass from 3 February for outbound travel.Arrivals who are not recognised as fully vaccinated will only need to take a pre-departure test and a PCR test on or before day 2 after they arrive in the UK. From 4am on 11 February all testing requirements will be removed for eligible fully vaccinated arrivals, with only a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) now required. The "About" selection from the command menu takes you to a screen with a button you can press to make a small payment to remove the advert displays this payment includes a donation to the Bletchley Park Trust, dedicated to preserving the site where codebreakers including Alan Turing worked to crack the Enigma codes in World War II.This started when I was asked to do some prototyping work on Android by a client last November I hadn’t done any programming on Android before, but I was familiar with Java from my time working on Enhydra Enterprise at Lutris Technologies. When first installed, the simulator will show adverts on the screen alongside your machine. You can delete these if you don't want them. There are a several save files pre-installed containing the settings and message keys for various real Enigma messages. To set up the internal configuration of your virtual Enigma machine, choose "Settings" from the command menu. If you want your encrypted message to be decrypted on another machine, both machines must have the same internal configuration settings. Press the "ENIGMA" logo in the upper right part of the machine to get a command menu (also available via the menu button) and select "Options". You can change some of the ways in which the simulator works. You should see the message that you typed originally now printed on the paper tape. * Click on the tape and select "Paste" to have the simulator type the encrypted message in for you. * Click on the tape and select "Clear" (if you like, this is not essential). * Click on the tape and select "Copy" to have the simulator remember the printed message. Now you have a choice: you can read the encrypted message letters back off the paper tape and press the keys one by one, as a real Enigma machine operator would have done, or you can take a shortcut: The process for decrypting a message is identical to encrypting in cryptography terms the mechanism is reciprocal. Your encrypted message is now printed on the paper tape.įirst, turn the rotors back so your original message key letters are showing in the windows. For real machines without a printer there would usually have been two operators, one to press and hold the keys and the other to write down which letters lit up, but you don't need to do that. Type a short message using the keys in the lower part of the machine. If you already have some letters printed on the paper tape, click on the tape and then select "Clear" to tear it off and start again. These letters are your message key you should remember them or write them down so you will be able to decrypt your message. Turn each of the rotors so that a particular set of letters that you choose is showing. Only a few real Enigma machines had a printer, but we have included it so you can use it for some cool things in the simulator. The enciphered letter is also printed on a paper tape, shown just above the lamps. This shows the enciphered result of the letter you pressed.ģ. In the middle part of the machine one of the lamps marked with a letter lights up. In certain positions some of the other rotors may also move.Ģ. The right-hand rotor moves round by one step. Pressing and holding a key does three things:ġ. To change which letter is showing, push/drag the serrated wheel at the right of each letter up or down to rotate the ring and the scrambling wiring inside it. On smaller devices like phones, the layout is "scrunched up" to make best use of the space available on bigger devices such as tablets, the spacing between the keys and indicators is more realistic.
