![]() Two years later, the Indonesian government declared the reef and giant manta rays nationally protected species. In 2012, the area was announced as Southeast Asia’s first shark and ray sanctuary. Ray conservation efforts in Raja Ampat began in earnest in 2007, when the local government and other stakeholders began to implement a series of marine protected areas (MPAs) across the islands. A new study led by University of Auckland doctoral candidate Edy Setyawan heralds more good news for Indonesia’s manta rays and highlights how the country’s conservation efforts have established a safe haven for reef and giant manta rays ( Mobula birostris) in the Raja Ampat Islands. In May 2022, researchers announced they had identified an aggregation of nearly 1,100 reef manta rays in Komodo National Park, likely catapulting the park’s waters into the list of top locations for mantas in the world. But a new study of reef manta rays in eastern Indonesia’s Raja Ampat archipelago, combined with an exciting discovery from Komodo National Park further west earlier this year, suggests reef mantas are following a different - and more encouraging - trajectory in the Southeast Asian country’s waters. Ocean-dwelling sharks and rays, including the majestic reef manta ray ( Mobula alfredi), have declined globally by an estimated 71% since 1970 due to fishing.

![]() ![]() However while you do this you'll also get crystals for every time you level up your Damage Bonus for a specific monster, the first ones being known as " Deep Ones" & when you've killed X amount of them your Damage Bonus will go up with 10% so you now kill them faster.ġ0% increase wil give you 1 crystal, 20% 2 crystals, 30% 3 crystals & so forth, yeah this don't sound of much but I had several that went above 100% so that's 10 crystals & everything helps in the end. in this level you'll get a maximum of 6 crystals in under a minute (35-50secs)įull credit for this farming method goes to the YouTuber Valtteri Hyttinen whose video can be seen here: this is where Crystal farming comes in.ĬRYSTALS: Best/fastest way I found was using the Stage called First Showdown on the Eldritch Plane (can be found in the bottom left corner just above the word "Isles". Anywhooo when you reach the Eldritch Plane & get stuck on a level because you need a lot of crystals for the next upgrades. Big Thanks to FL trooper be for the reminder) & when you're down to the last few enemies try to get any remaining crystals before killing them & ending the level. There are 3 different difficulties called PLANES which range from Normal (Easy) to Aether (Normal) & finally Eldritch (Hard) so it's the exact same maps on all 3 planes just with harder & more enemies, in order to keep up with the harder enemies you need to upgrade your Mech but more on that below because before you can start to upgrade anything you're going to need CRYSTALS & a whole lot of them but of course you should simply start playing through the game normally, I didn't really need to focus on Crystals until the Eldritch Plane mainly because the first upgrades comes cheap & you get the crystals by simply playing however 1 good tip is to keep an eye out for crystals that Spawn on the level (BE WARNED THOUGH THAT CRYSTALS DOESN'T START SPAWNING IN LEVELS UNTIL AETHER DIFFICULTY. ![]() ![]() Ok so this is the best tips I can give on exactly how to beat this game which mainly will take patience. ![]() ![]() He would help the organization by providing them the theater to run and operate for funding, and he would get a way into the organization.

Naomi and Melody were already paying off one member of Salvation for their apartment drug lab, and the second's day crate of packed cash was delivered to one of the heads of Salvation to show we were serious about working together.

![]() ![]() ![]() Nike was annoyed to discover that the ace goal-kicker Rob Andrew preferred boots made by Mizuno. They try to keep that quiet, although news of it leaked when Nike objected to the fact that almost half of the England rugby team appeared in a variety of footwear against Canada at Twickenham recently. It is not just that clashes occur when a player is sponsored by one firm and his team by another. They are ready to challenge Adidas, which has done deals with Germany, France, Spain, Argentina, Yugoslavia, Romania, Sweden, Hungary, Morocco and China.īut at a cost. They have also bought up a series of individual players, including a pounds 10m contract with the Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler. To that they have added the national squads of Italy, Holland, Nigeria and Korea. Then, earlier this year, Nike signed the biggest sponsorship deal in the history of marketing - a pounds 200m package with the Brazilian national football squad. First they signed an eight-year sponsorship deal with the US Soccer Federation worth pounds 74m - a small investment, its analysts reckon, against the time when football takes off in America. But the company's strategists have recently decided that this is the great hole in the sportswear market. Until recently football remained outside the Nike sphere of influence. Behind the big three is a pack of smaller companies such as Pony, Puma and Mizuno, and Britain's Umbro, which has stitched up the English football kit scene. Under the chairmanship of Saatchi's former chairman Robert Louis Dreyfus, it has almost totally revamped its product range, adopted a more aggressive marketing strategy and overtaken the industry's third big player, Reebok, which was the market leader in the 1980s but which now spends a mere $400m a year on sponsorship. Adidas trails behind with pounds 2bn, but it has recovered from the losses incurred earlier this decade when it was owned by the disgraced French politician Bernard Tapie, who bought it from Dassler's widow. Nike now spends pounds 5.6bn on marketing alone and commands about 35 per cent of the massive global market. ![]() Today both have moved beyond running shoes into a whole range of sportswear. A local graphic designer was paid $35 to come up with the Nike "swoosh". The name Nike - the Greek goddess of victory - came to one of Knight's partners in a dream. More than 30 years later, Bill Bowerman, a track coach at the University of Oregon, and Phil Knight, a college runner, founded a similar business in America. The distinctive Adidas brand mark of three white stripes was developed in those days as a way of bolstering the shoes' sides. In 1936, the black athlete Jesse Owens disproved Hitler's Aryan theories at the Berlin Olympics when he won four Olympic gold medals wearing their shoes. It is all along way from the small shop lit only by a paraffin lamp in which in the 1920s Adi Dassler and his brother Rudolf, two sports-mad cobblers, began in Herzogenaurach, not far from Nuremberg, to make shoes for track and field athletes and footballers. Shane Warne, the Australian bowler, wears a Nike ear-ring. Michael Johnson wore gold trainers with a massive Nike tick when he won his Olympic gold medals in the 200 metres and 400 metres. Andre Agassi, who wore a Nike baseball cap throughout his Wimbledon triumph, is paid about $2m a year. ![]() Michael Jordan, the legendary point guard for the Chicago Bulls basketball team, is reputed to earn $10m a year from his Nike deal. Nike pays out huge sums to major sporting superstars such as Tiger Woods, Pete Sampras and Eric Cantona.

Both materials are also safe to use with any type of lube, whether water-, oil- or silicone-based. Fleming suggests choosing a small metal or glass butt plug, specifically, because they’re nonporous (so pathogens, like certain bacteria, have a more challenging time settling into the plug) and easy to clean. Eventually, you may want to work up to larger plugs, which can get as big as a fist.ĭr. Small plugs should be roughly the size of a finger or two for easy insertion, so you can gently stretch the tissue around your anus. The best rule of thumb is that beginners should start with a toy that's smaller in size. There are also heavy, metal butt plugs that provide plenty of pressure. You can find a butt plug that vibrates or one that feels like rimming (mimicking the sensation of someone licking your anus). The best butt plugs come in various sizes, materials, and textures. The good news is that there are lots and lots of safe, fun, and interesting anal sex toys to try out, no matter where you are on your anal-play journey. That’s a good way for a sexy night to go disastrously wrong. “If not, when you orgasm and the muscles contract, it can have a vacuum effect where the toy can slip in and get lost in the rectum,” Megan Fleming PhD, a certified sex therapist and clinical psychologist tells SELF. It’s very important that any sex toy you use for butt play has a flared base. Although you might already have a drawer full of dildos, many dildos aren’t safe for anal penetration. Curious about anal sex? The most important thing to know about this sex toy is that it’s imperative to use the best butt plugs, as you can’t just stick anything up your bum. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, I am not sure if these techs are ripe for freelancing (with regards to RAD, stability, reliability, security, costs, etc.) Is it true that Express is almost always used with MongoDB?
