![]() Let us call the angle between the direction of polarization and the axis of a filter θ. Only the component of the EM wave parallel to the axis of a filter is passed. When the axes are perpendicular, no light is passed by the second. If the second polarizing filter is rotated, only the component of the light parallel to the second filter’s axis is passed. When the axes of the first and second filters are aligned (parallel), then all of the polarized light passed by the first filter is also passed by the second. The first filter polarizes the light along its axis. The direction of polarization of an EM wave is defined to be the direction of its electric field.įigure 6 shows the effect of two polarizing filters on originally unpolarized light. A polarizing filter has a polarization axis that acts as a slit passing through electric fields parallel to its direction. Since the light is unpolarized, the arrows point in all directions. The bold arrows represent the direction of polarization of the individual waves composing the ray. ![]() The slender arrow represents a ray of unpolarized light. The axis of a polarizing filter is the direction along which the filter passes the electric field of an EM wave (see Figure 5). Thinking of the molecules as many slits, analogous to those for the oscillating ropes, we can understand why only light with a specific polarization can get through. Polarizing filters are composed of long molecules aligned in one direction. Polaroid materials, invented by the founder of Polaroid Corporation, Edwin Land, act as a polarizing slit for light, allowing only polarization in one direction to pass through. Such light is said to be unpolarized because it is composed of many waves with all possible directions of polarization. The Sun and many other light sources produce waves that are randomly polarized (see Figure 4). Vertical slits pass vertically polarized waves and block horizontally polarized waves. The first is said to be vertically polarized, and the other is said to be horizontally polarized. ![]() The transverse oscillations in one rope are in a vertical plane, and those in the other rope are in a horizontal plane. For EM waves, the direction of the electric field is analogous to the disturbances on the ropes. However, a vertical slit blocks the horizontally polarized waves. If a vertical slit is placed on the first rope, the waves pass through. Those in the other rope are in a horizontal plane and are horizontally polarized. The oscillations in one rope are in a vertical plane and are said to be vertically polarized. To examine this further, consider the transverse waves in the ropes shown in Figure 3. The electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of propagation. An EM wave, such as light, is a transverse wave. Thus we can think of the electric field arrows as showing the direction of polarization, as in Figure 2. For an EM wave, we define the direction of polarization to be the direction parallel to the electric field. (This is not the same type of polarization as that discussed for the separation of charges.) Waves having such a direction are said to be polarized. Polarization is the attribute that a wave’s oscillations have a definite direction relative to the direction of propagation of the wave. There are specific directions for the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields. As noted earlier, EM waves are transverse waves consisting of varying electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation (see Figure 2). Light is one type of electromagnetic (EM) wave. Polarizing sunglasses are particularly useful on snow and water. As a result, the reflection of clouds and sky observed in part (a) is not observed in part (b). Part (b) of this figure was taken with a polarizing filter and part (a) was not. These two photographs of a river show the effect of a polarizing filter in reducing glare in light reflected from the surface of water. What is polarization? How is it produced? What are some of its uses? The answers to these questions are related to the wave character of light. ![]() Polaroids have this ability because of a wave characteristic of light called polarization. They have a special ability to cut the glare of light reflected from water or glass as shown in the figure below. Polaroid sunglasses are familiar to most of us.

That said, you’ll really want to pick one skill-tree and stick with it for your first playthrough. You’ll get about to level 50 by the end of the game, so expect to have about 50 skill points to divvy up. Now, when it comes to levelling up… Pick One Skill-Ladder And Stick With ItĮach class has three skill ladders with corresponding passive skills. And honestly, the flame-hammer is one of the most satisfying video game moves of the year. Not only can you use a bunch of different weapons, the engineer’s heavy weapons skills and toughness mean that you can go toe-to-toe with the biggest baddies. I haven’t played through the game with all four classes, but I can report that the engineer is a wicked-fun class for playing through the game solo. The Engineer Is AwesomeĮr, I just wanted to say that. I leapt into the game without reading it, and about 20 hours later finally checked it out, only to find a bunch of stuff that I didn’t really know about. Torchlight II has a lot going on on-screen, so it’s really worth clicking the “help” button down at the bottom and reading what everything does. I have a couple of alts that I use for multiplayer, while my main high-level character is really just for soloing. ![]() It can be very easy to out-level each other in the early goings, and it’s not very fun to play as a level 10 character along even a level 10 character. If you’re going to play alongside friends, I recommend starting a new game together. If You Play Alongside Friends, Start Together You have control, of course, so just set a cap to let people know that you’re trying to keep things fairly close. It can be a little bit weird when a character who outclasses yours by 20 levels shows up and starts plowing through enemies for you. That said, if you’re making a server and letting strangers into your game (which seriously, is fun), be sure to put a level restriction on your room. Be Sure To Make A Level-Cap For Your Server It’s wonderful that Runic has given players the option to play offline, but there’s no real reason to. ![]() But it’s neat to be able to hop around, visit your friends, trade loot, and use the universal chat. There’s no substantive difference between the two experiences - you can solo the game on the internet, and can even have five other players on your server, all soloing in different parts of the map. I played a lot of the game singleplayer, but found that once I opened my game up to people, I had even more fun. As you head off after the Alchemist, here are some tips to help you get the most out of your first time through Torchlight II Play Multiplayer, Even If You’re SoloingĮvery time you start the game, you’ll have the option to play singleplayer, on the internet, or via LAN. ![]() If you’re planning on playing the game, I thought I’d look back at my first 30 hours with it and offer some basic pointers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Leap is the obvious poor result (since you have Stunty) and I’m not that convinced by Safe Pair of Hand (especially on this player) but you can make use of all the others. Alternatively you can look to keep them cheap and roll a random Agility skill. The Goblins can either save up to get Block / Wrestle (or any other secondary skills) without having to rely on rolling a double any more. Multiple Block has some downsides but with a decent starting strength, lots of Grab and potentially quite a bit of Guard, a Black Orc may get some decent use out of it. Pile Driver now being a foul will get more use when you’ve got a Bribe in hand and also opens up taking Dirty Player as the next (chosen) skill if you wanted. Quite a few are worth having and the weaker ones, Pile Driver and Multiple Block still have some merit. If you look at the list of strength skills, they already start with two of them, they can’t get Strong Arm which leaves 9 skills to randomise from. The other option is going down the random skill route, having Brawler means you don’t need either Block (or less likely Wrestle) as the first skill. As I mentioned above starting with the Brawler skill should hopefully mean they gain Star Player Points quicker than before. First is the more traditional way of selecting your skill increases as they become available. ![]() There are two main ways that immediately spring to mind when it comes to development of a Black Orc team. Again Grab can help if you use it to trap some of their players for either very easy blocks or a likely effective gang foul. Against weaker teams you’ll want to try and get a numbers advantage so they can’t just run though you. When defending the strength of the Black Orcs combined with Grab should make you hard to move a cage through. You are also risking less value when your Troll uses them as ammunition to Throw at opposing players too! ![]() Goblins are also a lot cheaper than a Skink so a handy foul here and there wouldn’t be a bad thing, especially as the team has access to cheap bribes as an inducement. As Brawler only works when you’re doing the hitting rather than getting hit, it does encourage a slightly more aggressive style of play.īack all these strong high armoured players up with some sneaky Goblins to go and get the ball then you can hide them in a cage and march down the pitch. Black Orcs also have a better agility than a Saurus so there is the slightly risky option of doing some ball handling and dodging with them if either needed or wanted. ![]() The slower nature of the team just plays into the 2-1 Grind strategy so isn’t really missed. Grab lets you manoeuvre opponents a lot easier, to open up gaps in their defence, get more blocks and really make the sidelines dangerous. Starting with Brawler will make Black Orcs a lot more reliable, get them more knock downs and hopefully gain skills quicker. Cheap bribes and Throw Team Mate option.Strong, high armoured with useful but unusual starting skills.Whilst the team make up does seem very similar to Lizardmen but a lot slower, the main advantages are those two starting skills on the Black Orcs, the Throw Team Mate option and the Goblins are a bit tougher than Skinks. The rest of the team will be made up of toughened up Goblin Bruisers who are going to have to do most of the ball moving duty. A Troll will add a bit more muscle, although somewhat unreliable, and the ability for one turn touchdowns via throwing Goblins. With six ST4 players on the starting roster who come with Brawler and Grab, they are going to pack some punch in the middle of the pitch. So the team can be made up of up to six Black Orcs who now will come with some starting skills for the first time. A lot of coaches initial reaction to them has been that they are just a rubbish version of Lizardmen teams, but I’m excited to give them a go. Previously only seen as part of a standard Orc team, they have now branched out on their own grabbing a handful of extra tough Goblins and a Troll to throw them about. Many believe they draw their name from their dark green skin, although the title is more likely derived from their dour demeanour and bleak sense of humour! Grim and singularly focused on violence, it’s no wonder so many flock to the Blood Bowl pitch! QTYĪlways Hungry, Loner (3+), Mighty Blow (+1), Projectile Vomit, Really Stupid, Regeneration, Throw Team Mateīlack Orc teams are making their first appearance in the game of Blood Bowl after being announced by Games Workshop in the upcoming Second Season edition due out later this year.

Play as Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, and adventure through a whole new kingdom ruled by silk and song Captured and brought to this unfamiliar world, Hornet must battle foes and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak. ![]() Developers, Team Cherry, have provided sporadic information about the progress of the game, leaving fans to speculate and tie threads together where they can. The story of Hallownest will be revealed as players travel to different locations and speak to those that remain within its borders, learning about the politics between the different clans and history of the kingdom.Īlong the way, players will piece together the answers to the gnawing questions: how did Hallownest fall, and why did the Knight come to this decrepit place?įirst announced in 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong originally began as a DLC for Hollow Knight before morphing into a fully-fledged sequel. Players will explore the cadaverous husk of the once-great kingdom, a shadow of its former glory, through dark paths and twisting roads.

There is no right order It is also important to stress that you can play Hollow Knight any way you want, since the game works in a super non-linear order. Hollow Knight is a 2D action-platformer in the Metroidvania style, meaning its centered around exploring an open map, hunting for secrets, and finding abilities that let you reach previously. Trade was booming, the City of Tears and the surrounding villages thrummed with life, and the world was calm - but such peace would not last. Abilities are skills the Knight can find throughout the game that make traversing Hallownest easier. This kingdom was ruled by the Pale King, and its inhabitants thrived. The second attack is a simple lunge of the Nail, and the third is a jump towards you. The Hollow Knight will attack forward with its nail. Phase 1: The first attack youll probably see is a triple slash combo. Found at the top of the Tower of Love after defeating the Collector.

There are several other species frequently kept as pets, including the rosebreasted or gal ah, the Goffin 's cockatoo, the citron crested, the (lesser) sulphur crested, the triton and the corella. The varieties most common in captivity include: the salmon crested or Moluccan cockatoo, the (medium) sulphur crested or Eleanora cockatoo and the umbrella or greater white crested cockatoo. However, the greatest number of cockatoos that find their way into private homes via the pet trade, are imported. It is far better for the beginning bird fancier to gain real knowledge of how to care for and handle some of the less complicated parrot species before getting involved with a cockatoo.ĭomestic hatched, hand-reared cockatoos are becoming more common in the United States and elsewhere, as captive breeding programs are instituted. I do not recommend any type of cockatoo (whether imported or domestic hatched) as a "first" pet bird in a home where there is no previous experience with parrot husbandry. Due to their multi-faceted personalities, the inexperienced bird handler should consider the purchase of any cockatoo species with careful deliberation. Too often, the new cockatoo fancier is unprepared for the task of taming and properly caring for a wild caught, imported bird. It is important for the prospective owner, as well as the long time owner of any cockatoo, to realize that these birds have complex emotional makeups. Maladjusted, aggressive, frantic cockatoos are few and far between, although I have observed some who bordered on schizophrenia and others who engaged in self destructive behaviors that were hard to understand. Most will thrive for many years in a stable environment, given proper diet and housing. They are highly intelligent, inquisitive birds who appreciate a well-ordered life style. The great majority of cockatoos are natural hams and respond well to your attempts to tame them. ![]() ![]() One assessment cited by the committee suggests that the 2019-20 fires had led to a decline in populations of 15% to 30%.A newly acquired cockatoo is an individual with a definite personality. The committee’s listing assessment for that population recommends its status remain at endangered.īut the south-eastern populations, previously unlisted, have been recommended for a vulnerable listing, in part due to the pressure on foraging habitat. There were fears for the birds on Kangaroo Island in the aftermath of the fire disaster, and concerns its status might reach critically endangered. Glossy black-cockatoos are also fire sensitive and are dependent on casuarina seeds as their food source. The southern long-nosed potoroo is another affected animal and has been recommended for a vulnerable listing. The committee has moved to quickly assess wildlife that might qualify for a threatened listing or upgraded threat status after the fire disaster.Ī decision on whether eastern koala populations should be listed as endangered is expected later this year. “Any species that’s fire sensitive is going to really struggle,” she said. She said gang-gangs needed time to recover after such a disaster, something that would be made difficult with more frequent severe bushfire seasons. “That would have potentially taken out nesting hollows and destroyed a lot of their foraging resources,” she said. Sarah Legge, a scientist who sits on the committee, said the bushfires had affected 36% of the birds’ range and about half of that had been burnt by high-severity fire. The listing assessment says increased heatwaves and fire frequency as a result of the climate emergency were increasing pressure on the species across its range, with bushfires likely to reduce the amount of nesting habitat available to the birds. ![]() ![]() ![]() Because Scrabble is played with 2-4 players it makes the experience that much more exciting.
