![]() ![]() ![]() “When a cat becomes wet, their hair is heavier, colder, and uncomfortable,” Dr. Eve Elektra Cohen, a veterinary consultant, said cats find being wet a severe discomfort that throws them off their game, so to speak. In a July 2020 story on Reader’s Digest, Dr. Or, alternatively, they find water to be a hindrance to their ability to hunt and feed. The fact they’re averse to water suggests their planet may be devoid of the stuff. Still, what little the filmmakers have revealed about the aliens is ripe for speculation. It’s about humanity, and how humanity survives.” And so, why they invade is sort of irrelevant to me because the movie’s not about the creatures. “I think all you need to know is that they invade,” she said. In an interview with CinemaBlend, Blunt agreed. “Yet I think the power of the world is the thing that makes it so possible to delve into it again.” “This was never designed to be a franchise,” he said. In behind-the-scenes material released by Paramount, John Krasinski confessed he had “no intention” of ever doing a sequel after 2018’s A Quiet Place. Like Signs, the filmmakers recognize that the less known about the aliens, the better the story works. A QUIET PLACE ALIENS SERIESWhat Quiet Place 2 tells us about the aliensĪ Quiet Place isn’t a film series too eager to expand on its alien lore. The aliens in A Quiet Place aren’t “weak” to water, they just really hate it. Think of certain cat breeds and their annoyance to water. And it seems to be less about water as a damaging property than it is a nuisance. Rather, it’s large bodies of water the aliens in A Quiet Place 2 can’t overcome. Only the noise it generates as water droplets fall all around them. A QUIET PLACE ALIENS MOVIEWe know this based on a scene later in the movie when Emily Blunt’s Evelyn activates a sprinkler system to sneak past an alien, which shows no allergy towards the water itself. Based on visual evidence in the movie, water isn’t alien Kryptonite like in Signs - a fully loaded SuperSoaker isn’t the most powerful thing one could wield in this post-apocalypse. ![]() (This, of course, glosses over the movie’s thoughtful themes and religious imagery, evidenced by its main protagonist of an ex-priest played by Mel Gibson, and the symbolic ways water exists in Catholicism.)īut things are a little different in A Quiet Place Part II than in Signs. If water is really that bad for aliens, they’d be wise to avoid rainy Seattle or humid New Jersey in the summer. This drew criticism from lore hounds who questioned why a species would choose to invade a planet quite literally covered in water, not to mention all the water that exists in our air and atmosphere. Night Shyamalan’s Signs will remember how water was like acid to its invading aliens. Geriatric millennials with memories of M. For all the aliens’ inhuman powers and physical prowess, there are some islands they’ve simply never been to.Įvelyn, played again by Emily Blunt, finds a way to sneak past an alien late in the movie using an unlikely resource: Water. That makes little islands like the one Regan and Emmett discover a refuge from never-ending danger. They soon run into an old family friend, Emmett (Cillian Murphy), who eventually helps Regan find a community of survivors living comfortably on an island.Īs only some have discovered, the aliens - who still do not have a formal name - have an aversion to large bodies of water. In A Quiet Place Part II, the surviving members of the Abbot family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe) pack up and leave to seek a safe home elsewhere. Warning! Spoilers for A Quiet Place Part II ahead. And it’s the very thing that gives us life: water. But science-fiction stories frequently speculate on the existence of life beyond our borders - and certain stories give us earthlings a natural advantage over our hostile visitors.Ī Quiet Place Part II, the very good sequel to 2018’s A Quiet Place from director John Krasinski, reveals a new weakness of the advanced aliens whose ability to hear and pinpoint sounds is, quite literally, out of this world. It’s no surprise, then, that this green and blue rock of ours the only (known) planet in our solar system teeming with life. 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is made up of water. ![]()

Mono and Six descend to the depths of the hospital and, after fighting two more hands, encounter the Doctor. On the upper floor, he is forced to deal with the patients and severed hands alone and receive the power cells that activates an elevator. He also makes another attempt to make a run for the door in the twisted hallway upon tuning another television, but is once again pulled away thanks to Six. There, Mono finds an operating flashlight to illuminate the dark halls of the hospital. Soon after, the two arrive in a dark hospital. She and Mono decide to briefly shelter themselves in a dry area, where Six found and wore a yellow raincoat. The duo continued to move forward until it became apparent that Six had become cold from the constant downpour of rain. Together, they again move forward and barley escape the Teacher and the school altogether by passing through the vents when she hears them leave in the music room. He does eventually find Six hung by her feet in a bathroom on the next floor and helps her down. This leaves Mono alone to deal with them and their Teacher. Six is then captured by procaine dolls in which resemble children that roam the school that are otherwise known as the Bullies. They soon realize that the school is filled with traps and is managed by a sadistic Teacher. In order to transverse, the duo manage to get inside. He and Six then decide to leave the room that they are in and almost immediately at a rundown school. #Little nightmares 2 six monster tvMono tries to reach the door, but pulled from the TV by Six as he draws near. When succeeding, he is placed inside the same hallway he had a dream about at the beginning of the game. They then head out the back after recovering from the recoil and use a door to sail across the ocean until they arrive at the Pale City.Īfter exploring the city and seeing what remains of it's population, Mono and Six arrive in a room with a TV, where the former is prompted to place his hand on the screen in order to "tune the transmission". To their luck, they find and use a shotgun on the wall and open fire just as the Hunter is about to break in. They succeed in escaping, but they draw the attention of the Hunter himself, who grabs his shotgun and pursues them.ĭespite running and using the environment to hide, the children find themselves cornered in an abandoned shed.

Seeing the scared and apparently weakened state she is in, Mono offers her a hand. Mono proceeds to follow the noise by breaking down a partly decaying door with an ax and meets Six, who is frightened by his entrance. Upon making his way inside, he is drawn to the sound of a music box, which leads him into a basement. After passing obstacles and deadly traps, he comes across a shack owned by a bloodthirsty huntsman. He decides to venture off with means of finding his way out. It is also shown that without the bag, he has short and messy black hair, along with a skinny facial structure and dark eyes.Īfter having a nightmare of a hallway leading up to a door with an eye on it at the end, Mono awakens in the Wilderness. ![]() #Little nightmares 2 six monster skinHis skin is scrawny and pale and he wears a top buttoned olive-colored trench coat that reaches below his knees above a brownish-gray shirt, which is tucked into his long brownish-gray pants rolled up at the end. ![]() The most common item he wears is a paper bag with two round holes in the front that enable him to see.

#Apache lucene demo code#I downloaded the source code for the latest release from the “source release” link on this page: The best tutorial/resource I found for version 8 code was Lucene itself (surprise!). I also looked at these sites - and although some of the code may be for older versions of Lucene, they were very helpful: The ElasticSearch Reference web site can also help with terminology, for example: The Solr web site - a great place to look for definitions and terminology relating to Lucene (since Solr is built on top of Lucene). #Apache lucene demo upgrade#(I note that Hibernate Search 6 - currently in alpha - will include an upgrade of Lucene to version 8.2). And anyway, I wanted to use Lucene directly, to start with. But the current version of that (5.11) uses Lucene 5.5.5, under the covers. I also looked at Hibernate, which has a Lucene integration module ( Hibernate Search). StandardAnalyzer.STOP_WORDS_SET was removed. The default (no-arg) constructor for StopAnalyzer was also removed. LUCENE-8373: StandardAnalyzer.ENGLISH_STOP_WORD_SET was removed. LUCENE-8356: StandardFilter and StandardFilterFactory were removed. Lucene versions 7.5.0 and 8.0.0 saw a reasonably large number of API changes, including some breaking changes in core classes (which - to be clear - were documented, and preceded by deprecation warnings in previous releases).Įxamples of breaking changes in version 8 include: Tutorialspoint - uses v3.6.2 (released December 2012) I ran into issues with some of the existing tutorials, because the most prominent ones use older versions of Lucene, which no longer compile against 8.3.0.īaeldung - uses 7.1.0 (released October 2017) I am using the most up-to-date release - which at the time of writing is 8.3.0 (released November 2019). Now we know how it ends, let’s look at the rest of the story. Spoiler alert: I ended up with a small stand-alone application which uses typeahead to search all 6 million titles in my database: I’ve never used Lucene’s API before - so I wanted to give it a try. Term vectors - (still not entrely sure when it’s best to use these).Which brings us to the need for text searching. That may be necessary - but it’s probably not sufficient. And then fetch the next chunk of data only if needed. #Apache lucene demo plus#One solution already hinted at would be to introduce server-side paging: Fetch as much data as a user can see at one time, plus perhaps a little more. But it’s not going to be practical in the real world, except for modestly sized data sets. This is OK, given the purposes of my web app - to explore various technologies such as Javalin and Thymeleaf. But when that table is created, all 5,000 titles are sent from the server. Within my web app, the 5,000 titles it does contain are all displayed in a single HTML table (albeit with client-side paging, courtesy of DataTables). Similarly, my IMDb data set contains over 9.6 million people (actors, directors, producers, etc.), and almost 36 million records to describe which people appear in which titles. But my demo only handles a modest 5,000 of these, as highlighted above. #Apache lucene demo tv#The IMDb data set I am using contains over 6 million title records (movies, TV episodes, etc).

That should get your heart rate up to the target range, and studies show that the level of exertion we feel correlates quite well with our heart rate. "And moderate is something that you're - you're breathing kind of hard, but you can still hold a conversation." Ed Laskowski, co-director of Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine, says you should get about 30 minutes of moderate activity at least five days a week. And that means we're working hard enough that our heart is getting beneficial activity and beneficial exercise."ĭr. "Well, we want that target heart rate range. Regular exercise can make your heart stronger and more efficient. If you feel you're in tune with your body and your exertion level, you'll likely do fine without a monitor. If you like technology, you can check your heart rate with an activity tracker that includes a heart rate monitor. You can use either way of gauging exercise intensity. If you think you're working hard, your heart rate is probably higher than usual. But it can be a general guide to measure your exertion level. Perceived exertion may not always be similar to your heart rate level, and it depends on the individual. In general, the higher your heart rate during physical activity, the higher the exercise intensity. Your heart rate offers a more objective look at exercise intensity. For example, what feels to you like a hard run can feel like an easy workout to someone who's more fit. Your perceived exertion level may be different from what someone else feels doing the same exercise. Exercise intensity is a subjective measure of how hard physical activity feels to you while you're doing it - your perceived exertion. Talk to your doctor if you have any medical conditions or you're not sure how intense you should exercise. Fitness is a lifetime commitment, not a sprint to a finish line.

Your exercise intensity must generally be at a moderate or vigorous level for maximum benefit. Aim to do a single set of each exercise, using a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions. #INTENSITY EQUATION FREE#Consider free weights, weight machines or activities that use your own body weight - such as rock climbing or heavy gardening. Do strength training for all major muscle groups at least twice a week. Even small amounts of physical activity are helpful, and accumulated activity throughout the day adds up to provide health benefits. ![]() ![]() Axolotl metamorphosis license#This is a part of the Wikipedia article used under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA). Axolotls were also sold as food in Mexican markets and were a staple in the Aztec diet. Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate limbs, gills and parts of their eyes and brains. They are listed as critically endangered in the wild, with a decreasing population of around 50 to 1000 adult individuals, by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources and as an endangered species by the IUCN's CITES treaty. Neither should they be confused with mudpuppies, fully aquatic salamanders from a different family that are not closely related to the axolotl but bear a superficial resemblance.Īs of 2020, wild axolotls were near extinction due to urbanization in Mexico City and consequent water pollution, as well as the introduction of invasive species such as tilapia and perch. Instead of taking to the land, adults remain aquatic and gilled.Īxolotls should not be confused with the larval stage of closely related tiger salamander species, which are widespread in much of North America and occasionally become paedomorphic. Axolotls are unusual among amphibians in that they reach adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis. These include increased muscle tone in limbs, the absorption of gills and fins into the body, the development of eyelids, and a reduction in the skin's permeability to water, allowing the axolotl to stay more easily hydrated when on land. It is important to note that most axolotls are unable to metamorphose without the administration of hormones, and this should not be attempted by the casual hobbyist. ![]() Most often, this is due to a genetic quirk or a scientific experiment. ![]() The species was originally found in several lakes, such as Lake Xochimilco underlying Mexico City. An axolotl undergoing metamorphosis experiences a number of physiological changes that help them adapt to life on land. Axolotls generally do not metamorphose naturally, but occasionally one will break the rules. The axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, is a paedomorphic salamander related to the tiger salamander. ![]() ![]() ![]() Speaking on Monday, President Joe Biden said a Russian invasion of Ukraine would be “the largest invasion since World War II.’ The US government has put around 8,500 troops on high alert to deploy to Europe at short notice in anticipation of a Russian invasion, while diplomatic talks between Russia, the US and its NATO allies continue in an attempt to find a resolution and prevent war.
