![]() These utensils were made of good quality clay burnt at a very high temperature, giving rise to high-quality vessels. The most striking Stilt House artefacts are the small objects, like plates and bowls, which most likely were used in serving foods or liquids in rituals. The straws of the cottage walls and roofs and utensils made from the hardwood, like oars and indigenous weapons (bordunas), also resisted the decomposition process over time. It also notable that the oxygen-free aquatic environment preserved the artefacts in such a way that even allowed the ink on the artefacts to remain visible. It is also likely that these dwellings had defensive purposes. It is assumed that the easy availability of food in the form of a rich variety of fish created a favourable situation for the sedentary housing of the human groups that occupied the region. Santa Helena, Penalva, Pinheiro, and Viana are the main cities in this area. Baixada Maranhense population lives from the subsistence of traditional agriculture, fishing, keeping small animals and growing vegetables. People are very poor, with the lowest HDI indices not only in Maranhão state but also in Brazil as a whole. This region comprises approximately an area of 20,000 km 2 within the legal Amazon and has more than 500,000 inhabitants. In the Amazonian eastern coast, the geographical area where the Stilt Houses are located is called Baixada Maranhense, in the State of Maranhão, Brazil. Map of the stilt villages in eastern Amazon ad apparent stilts at the time of the drought. The ancient stilt villages have been also common in the prehistory of Europe during the Neolithic age, for instance in northern Italy and Switzerland (Lake Constanza). However, as known today, the prehistoric palafittes of Maranhão are the only ones preserved, in the entire American continent ( Figure 1). The stilt villages also appear in the reports of Amazon river mouth and from the Upper Amazon, near Peru. This type of archaeological sites has been described in isolated cases in South America, namely in the reports of Amerigo Vespucci in 1499 on communities that lived in Stilt Houses on the Venezuelan coast. In some of these prehistoric sites, such as Coqueiro, there can be over three thousand stilts. ![]() Rest of the year, the palafittes are submerged. This normally corresponds annually to October to December. Traces of these wooden stilts are located within rivers and lakes and are shown only at the time of drought. Stumps or trunks of trees served as a support for the superior buildings of the villages. The stilt villages were ancient dwellings (palafittes) built on piles over a lake. Having presented above the definition of art and studies in the Amazon, this text addresses the art in the Brazilian precolonial stilt villages of eastern Amazon societies, temporally between the 8th to the 10th A.D., thus, they no longer existed during the period of European conquest in the 16th century. To understand the indigenous art the Amerindian Perspectivism, also under structuralist influence, has been used successfully, especially making the shamanistic relationships between men and animals more noticeable. In those magic gives a more pronounced property to the objects, what the author called incantation technologies. Gell saw the artefacts as social and non-static agents, which highlighted the activities they were involved, such as rituals. Among the theoretical assumptions about art that found greater development in Amazon is the structuralist school and its variations, mainly through the works of Lévi-Strauss who regarded the art as an expression of communication and sociability. However, many important paths have already been walked. However, it is still difficult to define the diverse variations of the art types of these societies, partly because there is no conceptual standardisation, or partly as the variability is not fully known, yet, due to the complexity and enormous size of the precolonial Amazon. Īrtistic manifestations filled the precolonial Amazon and invited the archaeologists to study these themes. Many archaeologists think that the art should be understood within a much broader semantic significance: (a) artistic manifestations, functioning as symbolism (b) cosmological message vehicles serving to communicate social, political and religious values of a certain society (c) or art to be on its own, as a social cohesion form or political control strategy, to demonstrate these same values to other peoples, as a form of ethnic identity. As far as Archaeology, the myth usually is represented in the ceramic support as Art. In Amazon, the myths rely on the animal metaphor as the social component of the cosmology. They are memory, a vehicle of cosmological message and identity. ![]() It contains creation stories and explains all the elements necessary to understand the universe.

![]() You should keep zebra danios in larger schools since this is a social animal that prefers the company of its own species. Zebra danio won’t grow past 2 inches but will make up for it via their energic and relentless demeanor. These 2-inch fish are some of the most popular specimens you can get for your community tank. This fish is omnivorous, so it requires a rich and varied diet to thrive. You can always rely on mollies to clean the tank of algae, but don’t expect them to survive on algae alone. Mollies rank as algae eaters in the wild, and they have retained this feeding tendency in captivity as well. Make sure there’s enough space for both your mollies and the loach, and you shouldn’t have any problems accommodating the two. Mollies are friendly with most of their tankmates, especially the ones that they won’t interact with. Keep its water temperature between 74 and 82 and aim for water hardness around 15-30 dGH for optimal results. These can grow up to 5.5 inches, live up to 5 years in good conditions, and don’t need much to thrive. They’re also easy to breed and maintain, making them ideal tankmates for Kuhli loaches and many other fish species. Mollies are small, diverse, and joyful livebearers that display just as much color and pattern diversity as guppies, if not more. Regular fish shops overstock guppies, often causing them to interbreed, which is a hotline to producing fish with genetic faults.īeware of guppies hybrid with features that can diminish the fish’s lifespan and affect their quality of life. I’m telling you this to highlight the risks of buying guppies from unverified sources. This is the main reason why guppies rank as the most hybridized fish on the market today. They don’t need any special breeding conditions and can produce hundreds of eggs in one spawn. Guppies are astounding breeders that will produce offspring every month. Guppies aren’t prone to any specific disease, but they tend to be sensitive to improper water conditions.įortunately, they will share space with the Kuhli loach, so much of the tank’s maintenance routine will fall under the loach’s prerogatives. Guppies prefer water temperatures around 72-82 F and clean water conditions to prevent skin parasites and bacterial or fungal infections. ![]() They make for great companions for other peaceful species, especially bottom feeders, given that guppies occupy the tank’s higher regions. These gorgeous, adaptable, and peaceful fish will fit in any community setup. There isn’t much I can say about guppies that hasn’t been said already. ![]() If not, you can allow your tetras to breed in the main tank and simply let nature take its course. If you want to save your future tetra fry, consider investing in a breeding tank. This means that your loach will have a field day when the tetra spawning season comes. Neon tetras are egg-scatterers which is another way of saying that they spread eggs everywhere. These fish also love planted habitats and an environment that they can explore at their hearts’ content.Īny rocks or decorations you might add will be more than welcome, especially since loaches appreciate them in equal measure. You most likely require 30-50 gallons to make sure there’s enough space for both tetras and the Kuhli loach(es).Īim for a water temperature of 73 to 83 F and clean living conditions to keep your tetras happy and comfy. When it comes to overall setup, consider at least 20 gallons of space for one tetra group of 6-8 members, although more is always better. They like to live in schools, so you need around 6-8 or more of them for a stable and thriving population. Neon tetras are notoriously hardy and active fish occupying the tank’s medium and top areas. So, which fish species make for compatible tankmates for Kuhli loaches? Let’s talk about it! 1. If you want a livelier and more colorful aquatic setup, you need to consider going for a community tank. Kuhli loaches are shy and will spend their time burrowed in the substrate or hiding around caves and rocks in their environment. These fish rank as bottom lurkers and substrate diggers, so expect them to be less active than other species. These eel-like fish are the perfect companions to a thriving community setup in a lush and healthy ecosystem.īut there’s also no doubt that Kuhli-only tanks aren’t as lively as you might expect. There’s no doubt that Kuhli loaches make for a fine addition to any aquatic setup. ![]() This commercial played on Shaq's transition from the world of sports to the glamorous life of a Hollywood celebrity, complete with a tweaked version of Isaac Hayes' song "Shaft."

Getting a DSM is becoming a bit hard, especially an AWD one, but when you do find one, the price tag is realistic, and the result is immense fun that is relatively affordable. The stock DSM comes with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 210 horsepower. Examples have reached 1,000 horsepower, and have gone extremely quick in the quarter-mile. These cars have the right aftermarket support, and a lot of their parts can be used from Evos and Eclipses. In other words, the DSM is the EVO before it was a thing. This is the same engine in the very successful Lancer Evolution. The DSM comes in all-wheel drive configuration and a little surprise under its hood: the 4G63 engine. Ohio has a huge DSM scene in their yearly "The Shootout" drag race event, and there you will know why these cars are such a successful tuner vehicles. The Eagle Talon, which is quite similar to the Mitsubishi Eclipse at the time, and even the Plymouth Laser, is a tuner car's dream. Whether you get a clean one or a beat up one that you plan on cleaning, this car should be anywhere between $6k and $12k.ĭSM is the result of a collaboration between Chrysler and Mitsubishi in the early '90s, also known as Diamond Star Motors. It's lightweight, and with some suspension upgrade, brakes, and wheels and tires, it can be a great front-wheel drive that you can enjoy on track. The Civic itself can be a tremendously fun vehicle. The second-best part about it is how interchangeable its parts are with other platforms, where you can just replace the head instead of the need to machine your current head. In fact, you can always replace the entire engine without even breaking the bank, thanks to its wide availability. ![]() The best part about the B-series is the aftermarket support. In addition to the great low-end response, this technology features two different camshaft profiles that allow for efficiency as well. When equipped with variable valve timing and lift electronic control technology (VTEC), this engine can scream. The B-Series comes in different displacements, all of which have great aftermarket potential. One of which is Honda's B-Series, which the 1999 to 2000 Civic sported. The Honda Civic doesn't sound much like a sports car, but it historically featured some of the best tuner engines out there. If you want a great example, expect to pay around $10,000 however, cheaper options are easily available. Aftermarket support does not lack for any Miata you decide to buy, with coilovers, exhausts, intakes, manifolds, and event turbocharger kits if you decide to build your engine's internals. The NC is a bit heavier, however, and it can sacrifice some of the best things about a Miata. If you want something even cheaper, the NC Miata is your best option. Thanks to its light weight, this car is a blast to drive on the track, without any major problems in terms of losing traction. This continued building upon the Miata's reputation of being a momentum car. While it lacks power, the NB shined in the weight department, with around 2,300-pound curb weight. Halfway through this generation, in 2001, Mazda gave the NB 15 more horsepower thanks to the variable valve timing technology. This generation became a little rounder than the NA, and it sported a 1.8-liter naturally-aspirated engine. Fortunately, there are quite a few other generations that are still relatively affordable, while offering the same level of tuning potential. Unfortunately, enthusiasts are recognizing its cool-factor and its value is getting higher and higher. In the end, it's the classic and the original. We all would love an NA Miata (if we can fit in it), which is the first generation that started in 1989. ![]() Where Episode 1 relegated Rapture's well-known citizens to a series of cameos, Fontaine has a major role to play in Elizabeth's adventure.

Elizabeth awakens from her reverie in Frank Fontaine's sunken department store with a gun pointed at her head and a game of Russian roulette under way.

The more features you add, the more your R&D and production budget gets divided and less money can be spent on the individual features themselves. my sennheiser hd650s are just a cable and some drivers. So where I’m at those are 229 USD and they have a whole list of features like noise cancelling, noise rejecting microphone, bluetooth, 24 hour battery, different modes and eqs, etc. The custom EQ curves should be "fine" though. Quick google says it implements a form of virtual surround - do not use this unless you can turn that part of it off. Worth it if you want every competitive advantage I guessĮdit: someone else posted about using sonar. While an EQ can theoretically make all the loud bassy sounds quiet and keep the more trebley sounds like footsteps louder, this really isn't worth the effort and makes games sound like garbage. The EQ should just affect the "flavor" of the sound - how bassy it is, how much the highs come through, etc. If that fixes it, come back and figure out what setting is jacking everything up - it shouldn't be the EQ. If you're actually having problems, I'd start by not even using the steelseries software. Just make sure you aren't running any weird virtual surround settings with Hunt, because it already outputs binaural audio.

The fact that there’s no discount for a lifetime sub, while those who choose a monthly or yearly sub get a free month/year, also rubs me the wrong way. ~$100 in my local currency about 1/2 the cost of an AppleTV HD. I could almost convince myself to treat a lifetime subscription as a one-off purchase, except for a few things like: That said, Infuse suits my use-case much better than the others I’ve tried so far (though Emby comes close). Because of that, I’ll be sticking to Infuse 6 Pro (standalone) until it stops working - unless the free version of 7, or one of the alternatives I’m currently investigating, pans out. Nothing against or Firecore I’ve just been burnt too many times before with so-called ‘lifetime’ subscriptions that aren’t, subscriptions that stop working when the company closes or loses interest, and ‘updates’ that remove ‘little-used’ functionality I use or have become reliant on. Put simply, I will not buy subscription software. Even more so when I discovered that the stand-alone version had been dropped. I’m not a regular visitor to either the Firecore website or these forums, so the release of v7 took me by surprise when I learned of it the other day. If those issues are due to a permanent change in Apple’s APIs, will v6 standalone also see an update to continue working when TVOS 15 is released?Īnd is there a list of differences between the free and subscription versions of v7 available? I seem to recall there was for 5 & 6, but I can’t find anything beyond the vague “Additional video formats”, “HD quality audio”, etc mentioned on the Features page. I also see that there’s playback issues with the TVOS 15 beta. If I install the ‘free’ version of Infuse 7, will it co-exist happily with the standalone v6? That is, will I end up with two separate & working versions to choose from, each using their own library etc & not interfering with each other - or will it replace, corrupt the library of, or otherwise render the existing installation of v6 inoperable?Īlso, glad to see there’s plans to update v6 for when TVDB drops their old API. I’m currently using Infuse 6 Pro (standalone) on an AppleTV HD (4th gen). |
