Turbidity:Īn optical measure of the amount of material suspended in the water. Pollutants, or combinations of pollutants, including disease-causing agents, that after discharge and upon exposure, ingestion, inhalation, or assimilation into any organism, either directly from the environment or indirectly by ingestion through food chains, will cause death, disease, behavioral abnormalities, cancer, genetic mutations, physiological malfunctions, or physical deformations in such organisms or their offspring. Level of mortality or other end point demonstrated by a group of organisms that have been affected by the properties of a substance, such as contaminated water, sediment, or dredged material. The term includes sand, silt, and clay particles as well as other solids, such as biological material, suspended in the water column. Organic or inorganic particles that are suspended in water. The term “dredged material” refers to material which has been dredged from a water body, while the term “sediment” refers to material in a water body prior to the dredging process. Sediment input to a body of water comes from natural sources, such as erosion of soils and weathering of rock, or as the result of anthropogenic activities, such as forest or agricultural practices, or construction activities. Material, such as sand, silt, or clay, suspended in or settled on the bottom of a water body. Placement of dredged material in rivers, lakes, estuaries, or oceans via pipeline or surface release from hopper dredges or barges, without confinement. Typical coastal habitats include beaches, marshes, rocky shores, bottom sediments, mudflats, and the water itself. An organism’s habitat provides all of the basic requirements for the maintenance of life. The specific area or environment in which a particular type of plant or animal lives. Dredging is also conducted for construction purposes, for mining, and for environmental cleanup and enhancement. “Dredging” is the term given to removal by digging, gathering, or pulling out materials from the bed to deepen waterways and to create harbors, channels, and berths. Underwater excavation is called dredging. The term “sediment” refers to material on the bed of a water body prior to the dredging process. The term “dredged material” refers to material which has been dredged from a water body and disposed in a disposal site. Material excavated from fresh, estuarine, or ocean waters. Contaminated sediment or contaminated dredged material:Ĭontaminated sediments or contaminated dredged materials are defined as those that may cause an unacceptable adverse effect on human health or the environment. Other terms used for CDFs that appear in the literature include “confined disposal area,” “confined disposal site,” and “dredged material containment area.” Contaminant:Ī chemical or biological substance in a form that can be incorporated into, onto, or be ingested by or harm aquatic organisms, consumers of aquatic organisms, or users of the aquatic environment. ![]() ![]() Confined disposal facility (CDF):Īn engineered structure for containment of dredged material consisting of dikes or other structures that enclose a disposal area above any adjacent water surface, isolating the dredged material from adjacent waters during placement.

Cyrus swept the competition from the field (so to speak), through superior quality parts and machines, enabling buying on credit, and a policy to never sue a farmer for his failure to pay. They succeeded, but the ending of his patent only spurred the energetic McCormick to greater efforts of marketing and manufacturing his machines. Competitors “lawyered up” and formed a cabal of resistance before the patent office to block McCormick’s patent renewal in 1852. Cyrus convinced two of his brothers to move there and assist him. ![]() From 1842 to 1850 he built 778 machines, only a very few shipping by wagon to the grain states of the midwest, “where land was flat and labor scarce.”Īn 1884 version of the McCormick Reaper which also bound the harvestĬyrus formed a partnership with the mayor of Chicago who invested $25,000 in the company, enabling the company to move the manufacturing to that city. Improved castings, further field trials and exhibitions in rural counties around Rockbridge enabled Cyrus to begin manufacturing and selling his machine. The demand for reapers, however, took five years to stimulate after the patent had been secured. The reaper needed tweaking but eventually received newspaper coverage and endorsement by prominent Virginia supporters. Providentially, twenty-two-year-old Cyrus McCormick proved to be a man of “inventive genius, undaunted courage, untiring energy and of unswerving courage.” He scheduled field trials in farms around Lexington, the county seat. His father told a neighbor, “I am proud that I have a son who could accomplish what I failed to do.” Would that every father could have the occasion to say those words.Įvery future competitor copied the salient features of the prototype McCormick Reaper, setting off a lifetime of lawsuits, controversies with the patent office, and fixing the occasional mechanical difficulties.

![]() Defensive weapons are limited and can only be used when the player is grabbed by a monster. These defensive weapons include a dagger and a unique special weapon: Jill can use a taser, while Chris can shove stun grenades into zombies' mouths and detonate them with a pistol shot. ![]() Both characters can equip defensive weapons that can save them from taking damage when seized by an enemy. For example, Chris can take and deal more damage than Jill, but Jill can carry more items and unlock certain doors with a lock pick. The player can control either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, each with advantages and disadvantages. Zombies that are defeated but not beheaded or burned eventually revive and mutate into faster and deadlier forms. Some monsters can also infect the player with a poisoning effect, which gradually depletes the player's health over time until the poison is cured with serum or special herbs. Players can regain health by collecting and using herbs, which can be mixed with other herbs to increase their healing effect. The player has a limited amount of health, which decreases when attacked by monsters. Īlthough the player can use firearms to kill monsters, Resident Evil emphasizes evasion over fast-paced combat by providing the player with limited ammunition. The inventory is limited to a certain number of slots, and the player must often move items from the inventory to storage boxes located in certain areas to manage space. Items in the inventory can be used, examined, and combined to solve puzzles and gain access to areas that were previously inaccessible. When an item is collected, it is stored in an inventory that the player can access at any time. The player can open doors, push certain objects, climb obstacles, and pick up items. To advance, the player must explore a mansion and its surrounding areas while avoiding, outsmarting and defeating monsters including zombies and giant spiders. Resident Evil is a survival horror game where the player controls the on-screen character from a third-person perspective to interact with the environment. The game features 3D models over pre-rendered backgrounds. Gameplay The player, controlling Chris Redfield, can use defensive weapons such as daggers when grabbed by zombies. In 2014, a high-definition remaster was released to critical and commercial success for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, then later for Nintendo Switch in 2019. In 2008, the game was ported to the Wii, featuring a new control system. However, the game sold worse than expected, leading Capcom to change the direction of the series to a more action-oriented approach. It is often described as one of the best, scariest, and most visually impressive entries in the Resident Evil series. Upon release, Resident Evil received acclaim from video game journalists, who praised its graphics and improved gameplay over the original game. ![]() The remake also features new gameplay mechanics, revised puzzles, additional explorable areas, a revised script, and new story details including an entire subplot cut from the original game. However, the quality of the graphics was vastly improved. The game retains the same graphical presentation, with 3D models superimposed over pre-rendered backgrounds. Mikami decided to produce a remake because he felt that the original had not aged well enough and that the GameCube's capabilities could bring it closer to his original vision.

The player takes on the role of either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, S.T.A.R.S. The story takes place in 1998 near the fictional Midwestern town of Raccoon City where a series of bizarre murders have taken place.

Resident Evil is a survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a workhorse of a mascot platformer: one that was understandably passed by, but is still worth talking about. I’m not sure Pac-Man World Re-Pac is going to lure in many more fans, but the ones it already had should be happy with this new packaging. With the lower-key stakes (coupled with a lower-key $30 price point), and a firm consistency with level design, Pac-Man World Re-Pac still kept me interested throughout. With a butt bounce, dash, and throwing pellets (as well as a charged super pellet throw), there’s plenty of ways to take enemies down, but you won’t need all of them you can just sidestep most of their shenanigans. ![]() Their attack formations and overall presence aren’t anything special either, which takes you out of the moment if you were looking for a more action-oriented vibe. While enemy identity is a huge part of many mascot platformers, I’d struggle to recall most of Pac-Man World‘s rogue’s gallery by memory. One of the biggest sins of Pac-Man World‘s design, which wasn’t rectified with Re-Pac, is the high amount of low-impact enemies. Unlocking extra classic-feeling “maze” levels is one of the best examples of this philosophy, as they’re fun to do in their own right, but you won’t feel like you’re missing out if you skip some. There’s just enough there to make level discovery and exploration interesting, without throwing too much pointless nonsense at the player. It’s a collection of mascot platformer tropes, but none of it feels overwrought. ![]() Each level generally has P-A-C-M-A-N letters to collect, fruits or icons that serve as keys to required or secret/bonus areas, and a statue at the end to smash that signifies the end. The most obvious change is a new coat of paint, and smoothing over the vast majority of 1999 clunk.Īs I mentioned earlier, the way you play Pac-Man World Re-Pac is straightforward. It’s a very laid-back game and this optional addition suits it. The latter can pop on as an optional toggle mid-level too, which will be useful for folks who can’t beat a specific sequence.

This setup puts the mass of the quiver slightly forward, which helps me with holding steady and following through with the shot. My quiver is set up to be angled forward the hood of the quiver is closer to the front of my bow, and the tail-end of the arrows is angled toward the rear of my bow. These channels allow the mounting bracket to pivot, and therefore changes the vertical angle of the quiver in relation to your bow. The mounting bracket controls two critical factors of the quiver’s setup: the vertical angle/cant of the quiver, and the distance of the quiver from your bow.Īs you can see in the photo above, the mounting bracket has two curved channels in which the mounting screws reside. The lever on the quiver allows you to attach or remove the quiver in a split second. ![]() Upon first glance, there isn’t really anything special about it, but as you begin to install your TightSpot, you begin to realize just how important this bracket is to the overall design of the quiver.Īs you can see in the photo below, the mounting bracket is attached to your bow sight, and the quiver itself is attached to the mounting bracket via a dove-tail joint. The design of this bracket is beautifully simple. The TightSpot mounts to your bow sight via the included bracket. Now that we have those details out of the way, let’s take a look at what makes the TightSpot really special. The TightSpot comes in both right- and left-handed versions, and is available in Matte Black, Realtree AP, Realtree APG, Realtree Max-1, Mossy Oak Infinity, Mossy Oak Treestand, and LostCamo. The TightSpot weighs in at 11.36 ounces, is 19 3/4″ in length, and it holds 5 or your favorite arrows. But, if you are one of the many who spot & stalk game with your bow, or for any other reason need to shoot with your quiver, you should look at the TightSpot. If all you are going to do is use your quiver to get to your treestand, and then take it off to shoot, then there are 130 better ways to spend a buck. If you are a treestand hunter only, I don’t think it is necessary. However, I still wasn’t sold on dropping $100+ on a quiver…it just didn’t seem necessary. If I couldn’t shoot well with my quiver, I was in trouble. ![]() All of a sudden my quiver was more than an arrow “transportation” device, and it was now a critical piece of my bow setup. It wasn’t until I tried spot & stalk hunting, that I realized I did need a quiver on my bow, and I did need to shoot with it on. When I first heard about the TightSpot, I literally laughed at the price, just as some of you may be doing right now.Īfter all, what can a $130 quiver do that my $30 quiver can’t? I certainly didn’t need to spend $130 to hold my arrows until I got to my treestand, because once there, I was just going to remove my quiver from my bow anyway. It isn’t often that I start a review with something negative, especially on such a great product such as the TightSpot, but let me get this out of the way… There is only one downside to this product, and it is the price.Īt $130, the TightSpot isn’t cheap, but price aside – everything else about this quiver is perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Whatever letter you write, the formal structure of it should depict that you have given a lot of time and effort to write it.
