Mad hatter quotes2/3/2024 ![]() “What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, sternly. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I-I hardly know, Sir, just at present-at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. “The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my dear paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! She’ll get me executed, as sure as ferrets are ferrets!” -Chapter 4, The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill The Caterpillar quotes “The best way to explain it is to do it.” -Chapter 3, A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale The White Rabbit quotes ![]() “I’m older than you, and must know better.” -Chapter 3, A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale The Dodo quotes “I don’t know the meaning of half those long words, and, what’s more, I don’t believe you do either!” -Chapter 3, A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale The Lory quotes “I don’t see how he can ever finish, if he doesn’t begin.” -Chapter 9, The Mock Turtle’s Story The Eaglet quotes “Not at all,” said Alice: “she’s so extremely-” Just then she noticed that the Queen was close behind her, listening: so she went on “-likely to win, that it’s hardly worth while finishing the game.” -Chapter 8, The Queen’s Croquet-Ground “How do you like the Queen?” said the Cat in a low voice. “Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice “but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!” -Chapter 6, Pig and Pepper “When I used to read fairy tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!” -Chapter 4, The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill “I do wish I hadn’t drunk quite so much!” -Chapter 4, The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill “I suppose I ought to eat or drink something or other but the great question is ‘What?’” -Chapter 4, The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill “I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears! That will be a queer thing, to be sure! However, everything is queer to-day.” -Chapter 2, The Pool of Tears “I wish I hadn’t cried so much!” said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out. “Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English). -Chapter 2, The Pool of Tears “But it’s no use now,” thought poor Alice, “to pretend to be two people! Why, there’s hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!” -Chapter 1, Down the Rabbit-Hole “No, I’ll look first,” she said, “and see whether it’s marked ‘poison ’ or not.” -Chapter 1, Down the Rabbit-Hole Perhaps if I'd come bearing tea and crumpets, with a bewildered, bespectacled white rabbit clutching a pocketwatch in his paw, you'd have been more willing to give me the time of day.It was all very well to say “Drink me,” but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry. I seem to recall Alice spent the better part of her time being irritated and flustered, too. You make a charming and somewhat more quirky Alice than I'd have expected. "YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO HAVE A TEA PARTY," he read out loud, then smiled at her. She lifted her arms away so he could read the script that accompanied the copy of an original pen and ink art rendering of the Hatter seated at a long table, holding a teacup aloft. What does it say?" He nodded toward her apron front. I must say, this dry side of you is surprisingly appealing. Because I'm certain the staff would have greatly appreciated the humor in them." "Since I was little and my mom taught me to bake." When he smiled, she arched a brow. “On closer notice of her apron, he said, "Is that-?"

Dark horse usagi yojimbo2/3/2024 ![]() If there is one thing that escalates a story quicker than a giant steam powered robot fighting for anthropomorphic animal life, then I don’t know what it would be. A new first issue would be an inexpensive start to what I expect will be a long and healthy relationship with the wandering samurai and his imaginative world.Created, written and illustrated by Stan Sakai If it's the latter, I'll likely keep my trades, but I'm sure I'm not the only fan who wouldn't mind matching hardcovers to put on the shelf.Įither way, if you're new to Usagi Yojimbo, I highly recommend it. No details in this release as to whether or not the Dark Horse version will be complimentary to the slipcased Fanta edition, or merely an oversized hardcover. It's the way of the times, I guess, with newness valued over longevity.Īt any rate, it's exciting to get new Yojimbo, and I also like the move to reprint the older issues at the same time, though Dark Horse fails to mention here that the first seven trades (and thus the true starting point) actually belong to Fantagraphics, who issued their own gorgeous omnibus a few years back. ![]() More and more comics are calling themselves by the television term "season," which also causes tons of #1 issues. On the other hand, it's disturbing to me that smaller publishers are now following Marvel and DC's incredibly annoying constant numerical resets. On the one hand, it means more people might try one of my favorite series, and given the personal issues in Sakai's life, the more sales he gets, the better. ![]() Speaking as a former single issue collector and a person who advocates for making things as easy as possible for new readers who want to go backwards with a favorite character, I have mixed feelings on the decision to reset the numbering. 3 #1–#6, and featuring over six hundred pages of samurai action and adventure, The Usagi Yojimbo Saga is the ultimate introduction to Sakai’s enduring samurai masterpiece! In the first volume, Usagi protects a village from a band of assassins, reluctantly engages in a duel for blood money, hunts a gangster who has stolen his swords, and more.Ĭollecting Usagi Yojimbo Vol. To celebrate the rabbit ronin ’s thirtieth anniversary, Dark Horse proudly presents Miyamoto Usagi’s epic trek along the warrior’s path in a new series of deluxe compilations: The Usagi Yojimbo Saga. In the fury of the final battle, a metal rocket crashes to earth-and inside is an enemy that neither side could have ever imagined! Witness the final fates of your favorite Usagi characters, in this all-new samurai epic with a startling science fiction twist! ![]() Twenty years in his future, Miyamoto Usagi fights as a general for Lord Noriyuki, against the treacherous Lord Hikiji. In celebration of thirty years of the marvelous samurai rabbit saga, Usagi Yojimbo is set to return in an all-new six-issue miniseries, Usagi Yojimbo: Senso, followed by the debut of the Usagi Yojimbo Saga collection! With more than two hundred issues and counting, Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo is among comics’ most monumental achievements. Everyone's favorite rabbit samurai is getting some love from Dark Horse for the long-running series' 30th anniversary, including new issues, new numbering, and an omnibus treatment of the first set of issues that Dark Horse has the rights to republish.

Skill needed to mine omber2/3/2024 ![]() Although it can only field two ice harvesters, the Mackinaw has a built-in role bonus which doubles their output yield. For ice mining, the best ship in the game is the Mackinaw, a tech 2 version of the lowly Retriever. The Orca also has an impressive bonus to mining gang links, which improve the mining capabilities of all gang members. The big upgrade for haulers is the Orca, which has a large enough cargo hold to store several jettisoned containers full of ore and a range bonus for tractor beams to remove the need to fly between containers. Haulers for group mining operations can get a small benefit from training for tech 2 transport ships, which have a slightly larger cargo hold than their tech 1 counterparts. The Hulk is EVE's best mining ship, featuring two separate bonuses to mining yield and the ability to fit three strip miners or ice harvesters. The Retriever's big brother is the Covetor, a ship that's not very commonly used because the skill training time between a Covetor and its tech 2 upgrade the Hulk takes at most a few days. In contrast, the ship progression for miners is very straightforward. For any given combat role, there are several ships that can do the job amicably and at least a dozen viable ways to fit each of them. In this week's second part of the EVE Evolved guide to mining in EVE, I look at mining efficiency and how to make the most ISK for your invested time.įiguring out the optimum ship and setup for various activities is a big part of EVE's gameplay and player progression. Do you refine it yourself and sell the minerals, or will the raw ore be worth more on the open market? Once you've mined your ore, it's also not obvious how to get the most ISK out of it. Finding out the best ore to mine or the best location to mine it also isn't quite as straightforward as it seems, which often makes it difficult to find a good mining spot. Both miners and haulers have several skills, ships and modules available to upgrade their effectiveness and make the most of their play time. I looked at the Retriever as an entry-level mining ship for new players, strategies for mining on your own, and the basic structure of a group mining operation.Īlthough it's a relatively quick and easy profession to get into, there's a lot more to mining than meets the eye. In last week's first part of the EVE Evolved guide to mining, I examined at some of the most basic mining topics. Although many players would rather pick up railguns and blow each other to bits than pick up mining lasers to hoover up some rocks, mining can be a very relaxing way to make ISK. IE if refining 1 kernite I make X isk fast (can resell the refined minerals in Amarr), the price for that same kernite bit cannot ever go below that X (plus costs etc).Mining is one of EVE Online's oldest and most iconic activities, with a significant in-game community and several helpful guides. finally, the purchase cost has a lower limit: it cannot ever be set to be anywhere near the amount the same miner could make by refining and selling the stuff. the whole business has also the hinderance that the involved materials are a poor choice, that is a miner has to mine them and not what sells well (ie scordite) and this is another cost. the freighter has a purchase cost and an operation cost (including having to use a pilot for the 1 hour+ of time it takes to fly it from Amarr to Minmatar lands) the two above mean that a freighter has to be used (and its cost paid) for any serious sales operation. the material comes from a most distant place Expecially Kernite takes HUGENORMOUS room when unrefined the material has to be carried unrefined. By the way, you find kernite in Amarr space.Īs one of those who bring Kernite from Amarr (I like to make lots of money off missioning *and* missioneers ) I can tell you that the price is high but: When you get to level 4 missions you'll get to go through this again, except they want 8,000 kernite for that one. I'd go find the cheapest price in the region, buy 4-5 missions worth, and store it in the station where your storyline mission agent resides. However, given that the mission typically gives you a decent +3 implant which you can sell for more than the Omber costs, I wouldn't bother personally. You will pay a premium for this, which is what you're finding. Now, because it shows up for storyline missions everywhere some enterprising players will buy it in bulk where it's mined and ship it to mission hubs in other regions of space. So, if you want to mine it, either learn to probe or move to where it's found for a while. You can also find it in gravimetric exploration sites. If I remember correctly, omber is found naturally in Gallente space. Omber and kernite are only available in certain areas of space. Level 1 wants veldspar, level 2 wants scordite, level 3 wants omber and level 4 wants kernite. That mission requires different ore at different levels.

Maldives resort2/3/2024 ![]() In Kannada, "Garland of Islands" can be translated as Maaledweepa ( ಮಾಲೆದ್ವೀಪ). In Malayalam, "Garland of Islands" can be translated as Maladweepu ( മാലദ്വീപ്). Jan Hogendorn, Grossman Professor of Economics at Colby College, theorised that the name Maldives derives from the Sanskrit mālādvīpa ( मालाद्वीप), meaning "garland of islands". The ancient Sri Lankan chronicle Mahawamsa refers to an island called Mahiladiva ("Island of Women", महिलादिभ) in Pali, which is probably a mistranslation of the same Sanskrit word meaning " garland". In Tamil, "Garland of Islands" can be translated as Maalai Theevu ( மாலைத்தீவு). The word Dheeb/Deeb (archaic Dhivehi, related to Sanskrit द्वीप, dvīpa) means "island", and Dhives ( Dhivehin) means "islanders" (i.e., Maldivians). The Maldivian people are called Dhivehin. The name Maldives may also derive from Sanskrit माला mālā ( garland) and द्वीप dvīpa (island), or මාල දිවයින Maala Divaina ("Necklace Islands") in Sinhala. 1100 – 1166, the Maldives was also referred to as Diva Kudha and the Laccadive archipelago which was a part of the Maldives was then referred to as Diva Kanbar by the scholar and polymath al-Biruni (973–1048). During the 3rd century BCE visit of emissaries, it was noted that the Maldives was known as Dheeva Mahal. The first Kingdom of the Maldives was known as Dheeva Maari. Etymology Īccording to legends, the first settlers of the Maldives were people known as Dheyvis. The Maldives rejoined the Commonwealth on 1 February 2020 after showing evidence of functioning democratic processes and popular support. The Maldives was a member of the Commonwealth of Nations from July 1982 until withdrawing from the organisation in October 2016 in protest of allegations by other nations of its human rights abuses and failing democracy. The Maldives rates "high" on the Human Development Index, with per capita income significantly higher than other SAARC nations. Fishing has historically been the dominant economic activity, and remains the largest sector by far, followed by the rapidly growing tourism industry. The World Bank classifies the Maldives as having an upper- middle income economy. It is also a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and the Non-Aligned Movement. The Maldives became a founding member of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). The ensuing decades have seen political instability, efforts at democratic reform, and environmental challenges posed by climate change and rising sea levels. Independence from the United Kingdom came in 1965, and a presidential republic was established in 1968 with an elected People's Majlis. From the mid-16th century, the region came under the increasing influence of European colonial powers, with the Maldives becoming a British protectorate in 1887. In the 12th century Islam reached the Maldivian Archipelago, which was consolidated as a sultanate, developing strong commercial and cultural ties with Asia and Africa. (Some sources state the highest point, Mount Villingili, as 5.1 metres or 17 feet.) With an average ground-level elevation of 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, and a highest natural point of only 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in), it is the world's lowest-lying country. The Maldivian Archipelago is located on the Chagos–Laccadive Ridge, a vast submarine mountain range in the Indian Ocean this also forms a terrestrial ecoregion, together with the Chagos Archipelago and Lakshadweep. Malé is the capital and the most populated city, traditionally called the "King's Island" where the ancient royal dynasties ruled for its central location. The Maldives' chain of 26 atolls stretches across the equator from Ihavandhippolhu Atoll in the north to Addu Atoll in the south.Ĭomprising a territory spanning roughly 90,000 square kilometres (35,000 sq mi) including the sea, land area of all the islands comprises 298 square kilometres (115 sq mi), the Maldives is one of the world's most geographically dispersed sovereign states and the smallest Asian country as well as one of the smallest Muslim-majority countries by land area and, with around 557,751 inhabitants, the 2nd least populous country in Asia. It lies southwest of Sri Lanka and India, about 750 kilometres (470 miles 400 nautical miles) from the Asian continent's mainland. The Maldives ( / ˈ m ɔː l d iː v z/, US: / ˈ m ɔː l d aɪ v z/ Dhivehi: ދިވެހިރާއްޖެ, romanized: Dhivehi Raajje, Dhivehi pronunciation: ), officially the Republic of Maldives ( ދިވެހިރާއްޖޭގެ ޖުމްހޫރިއްޔާ, Dhivehi Raajjeyge Jumhooriyyaa, Dhivehi pronunciation: ), is an archipelagic state in South Asia, situated in the Indian Ocean.
