![]() ![]() There are so far no reports of successful spawnings in aquaria. ![]() Sexual dimorphism is not obvious until they reach maturity when females will be rounder and thicker. Water must be stable like all loaches, this species is intolerant of dissolved organics and nitrates should be kept below 10ppm, which can be achieved with live plants and regular weekly partial water changes. The current from the filter need not be excessive. Plants such as crypts, Anubias and java fern for the lower areas. A riverine aquascape would be ideal a substrate of fine smooth gravel with smooth rocks representing boulders, caves made from bogwood or rock, and subdued lighting partially achieved with floating plants. This species is very active, and as noted under Compatibility/Temperament needs a spacious aquarium with plenty of hiding spots so it can be kept in a group of at least 5 or 6, otherwise some members may be relentlessly picked on and succumb to stress and injury. Other common names include Thin Lined Loach, Striped Loach, Yellow Lined Loach and Tiger Loach (not to be confused with the true tiger loaches of the genus Syncrossus). This is an ideal loach for beginning aquarists or those unfamiliar with loaches as it is smaller than most and relatively peaceful, thus making a good addition to a community aquarium keeping in mind the comments under Compatibility. At one habitat site the water was ~2 dGH, pH 7 and temperature 70F. Soft (< 10 dGH), slightly acidic to slightly basic (pH 6 to 7.5) water, temperature 23-26C/73-79F. Other plant species (crypts, Aponogeton, Anubias, Java Fern) are left alone.Īttains 4 inches, frequently slightly less. Several aquarists have mentioned that loaches will sometimes eat live plants, with swords (Echinodorus sp) being particular favourites signs of this will be several small holes eaten in the leaves. Vegetable matter such as blanched spinach, shelled peas, cucumber and zucchini for variety. Frozen bloodworms and shrimp will be relished, and for larger fish small earthworms. Sinking pellet and tablet foods are important as these are bottom feeders though they do take food mid-water. Mainly carnivorous by nature, in the aquarium this fish is omnivorous therefore will accept most prepared foods. Long-finned and sedate upper fish should be avoided to prevent fin nipping suitable upper fish are barbs, rasbora, danios, characins. They can be combined with some other loach species. Found in clear mountain streams having a substrate of rock, boulders, gravel and sand with leaf litter from the overhanging forest.Ĭompatibility/Temperament: Generally peaceful, but like all loaches (to some degree) they establish a social structure within the group and there will be some in-fighting though not damaging if the fish are maintained in a group of at least five and there are numerous hiding places in the aquarium. Origin and Habitat: Krishna River system, southern India. ![]()

![]() Image-based virtual reality systems have been gaining popularity in computer graphics and computer vision communities. In projector-based virtual reality, modeling of the real environment plays a vital role in various virtual reality applications, including robot navigation, construction modeling, and airplane simulation. Users can select their own type of participation based on the system capability. ![]() One can participate in the 3D distributed virtual environment as form of either a conventional avatar or a real video. ![]() With avatar image-based virtual reality, people can join the virtual environment in the form of real video as well as an avatar. Driving simulators, for example, give the driver on board the impression of actually driving an actual vehicle by predicting vehicular motion caused by driver input and feeding back corresponding visual, motion and audio cues to the driver. One method by which virtual reality can be realized is simulation-based virtual reality. Forms and methods įurther information: Immersion (virtual reality) and Reality–virtuality continuum Researchers with the European Space Agency in Darmstadt, Germany, equipped with a VR headset and motion controllers, demonstrating how astronauts might use virtual reality in the future to train to extinguish a fire inside a lunar habitat Widespread adoption of the term "virtual reality" in the popular media is attributed to Jaron Lanier, who in the late 1980s designed some of the first business-grade virtual reality hardware under his firm VPL Research, and the 1992 film Lawnmower Man, which features use of virtual reality systems. The term "virtual reality" was first used in a science fiction context in The Judas Mandala, a 1982 novel by Damien Broderick. The term " artificial reality", coined by Myron Krueger, has been in use since the 1970s. The English translation of this book, published in 1958 as The Theater and its Double, is the earliest published use of the term "virtual reality". In 1938, French avant-garde playwright Antonin Artaud described the illusory nature of characters and objects in the theatre as "la réalité virtuelle" in a collection of essays, Le Théâtre et son double. The term "virtual" has been used in the computer sense of "not physically existing but made to appear by software" since 1959. " Virtual" has had the meaning of "being something in essence or effect, though not actually or in fact" since the mid-1400s. Virtual reality typically incorporates auditory and video feedback, but may also allow other types of sensory and force feedback through haptic technology. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens. ![]() A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. Ĭurrently, standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate some realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. Other distinct types of VR-style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality, sometimes referred to as extended reality or XR, although definitions are currently changing due to the nascence of the industry. Applications of virtual reality include entertainment (particularly video games), education (such as medical or military training) and business (such as virtual meetings). Virtual reality ( VR) is a simulated experience that employs pose tracking and 3D near-eye displays to give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world. Not to be confused with Simulated reality, Augmented reality, or Virtual economy.Īn operator controlling The Virtual Interface Environment Workstation (VIEW) at NASA Ames ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() I erroneously thought Topicons Plus wasn't being maintained anymore. All I'm doing is informing you of the half dozen other popular apps in the repo that either looked like crap or worked like crap on the previous version of Topicons Plus, like this topic's issue with Redshift. Which we patch with an extensions so that this doesn't happen." Instead I use Solus and thank you fellas.Ĥ) "On GNOME. GNOME might get rid of them, but they continually remove features just because they don't think they are important. They've been a part of virtually every desktop environment for the last 3 decades. a cursory Google search shows they all have common unresolved tray icon bugs: icons too big, doubled, right-click doesn't work, etc.ģ) "Tray icons aren't going anywhere. ![]() I can count mainstream desktop Linux apps on one hand: Steam, Discord, Skype, maybe Dropbox. MATE is fantastic, but also notorious for unresolved tray icon bugs, even with its own default software like Network. It's modeled after GNOME2, but very much actively maintained with new features all the time."Ĭertainly, but MATE isn't as actively developed as GNOME Shell or Plasma, nor will Discord devs prioritize helping resolve MATE tray issues because MATE is not a flagship or richly sponsored DE. Therefore, Plasma & Qt will never get priority via funding nor paid dev time.ģ) "No. Not the flagship spins of Ubuntu and Fedora is what I meant. What? Plasma is the default DE on several distributions." A major app like Discord, for example, is ignoring GNOME Shell's forced obsolescence of tray icons, which causes it to crash with default settings unless users turn off the tray icon in Discord Settings. By disregarding universal user and dev UI expectations, GNOME has forced you and practically every other mainstream distro offering Shell to recreate tray icons, and then you have GNOME app devs ignoring that standard on the DE that continue to support tray icons, which creates exponential bugs nobody is in a position to properly fix, like the current state of Topicons Plus. Sorry I wasn't clear - when I said democracy was being ignored I was referring to GNOME Shell design, not Solus. We listen to our users, but we are not governed by them." It's the selfish passion project of a few dedicated individuals working together to build the distro they want to use. Should apps or essential UI features like the examples I provided rely on this specific functionality for daily use? Obviously not in the long run imho.ĭataDrake 1) "Solus is not a democracy. Regardless, there are major bugs not being addressed like the aforementioned wrong-sized icons and the development is slow. That update 18 days ago followed a gap of, what, 2 months without Shell 3.36 support with some significant bugs unresolved since the release of 3.34? Apparently the maintainer changed his mind. Scotty-Trees It was common knowledge that Topicons Plus was not going to be developed anymore for almost a year. Budgie can continue to support tray icons, and that might encourage a few devs to patch in fixes for their apps' built-in icons or whatever, but no mainstream distros will use KDE, MATE is just plain old, so I don't foresee a long term future for tray icons anymore, which btw makes tray-only apps like NitroShare unusable, so I disagree with Solus' decision to remove the unmaintained yet still functional Dukto from the repos. ![]() Personally, I just turn off tray icons now. As GNOME-centric app devs drop support or abandon support, there will be ugliness and inconsistency, and there is no fix because it's a total breakdown at every level of an agreed upon desktop interface paradigm in the Linux world. Solus just includes it in GNOME Shell version because its the only tray icons extension left that will even run on modern versions of Shell. All tray icons will continue to break because Topicons Plus is no longer maintained. Oh yeah? Try running Discord or anything with obsolete tray icons. ![]() ![]() Many dogs experience digestive upset, such as vomiting and diarrhea, from eating rawhide treats. No treat will be quite as effective as a toothbrush for oral health! Cons of rawhide productsĭespite their benefits, rawhide and beefhide treats do have some drawbacks. It’s important to note, however, that this is not a substitute for daily brushing. ![]() Some rawhide treats are treated with enzymes to break down plaque and tartar, which can help improve your dog’s dental health. They’re flavorful, satisfy a dog’s natural inclination to chew, and can help alleviate boredom. Rawhides tend to last longer than other treats, so they can be used to keep your dog busy and provide mental stimulation. (Image credit: Getty Images) Pros of rawhide products However, it’s important to note that beefhide is a rawhide product, and has all the same pros and cons as any other rawhide treat for dogs. ![]() Therefore, some pet owners feel more comfortable purchasing beefhide treats so they know exactly what type of hide they are getting. Manufacturers of rawhide chew treats are not required to list the source of the hide on the treat label. Beefhide, on the other hand, is specifically made from cow hides. Rawhides and beefhides are both made in exactly the same way. Rawhide vs beefhide: What's the difference?Īll beefhide products are rawhide, but not all rawhide products are beefhide. Rawhide can be made from any animal hide, or even a combination of hides. Some rawhide products are sold as whole pieces, such as pig ears or bully sticks (beef pizzles). Rawhide can be made from the hides of many different animals, but beef, pork, buffalo, and horse hides are the most common. The hide is typically sold in strips or sheets, and treat manufacturers make the rawhide into twists, braids, or other shapes.įlavoring is often added, to make rawhide even more appealing to your dog. Rawhide is just what it sounds like: raw animal hide that has been processed into a chew treat for dogs. Many dogs love rawhide, because it’s tasty, long-lasting, and stimulating to chew. In her free time, she enjoys playing trampoline dodgeball, hiking with her beagle Dasher, and spending time with her three mischievous cats.

Rawhide and beefhide treats carry significant risks, so it’s vital you’re aware of these alongside the benefits they offer to enable you to make an informed decision about whether these chews are right for your pup. If large chunks break off and are swallowed there’s the risk of choking and obstructions, plus the hard texture of these kinds of chews means there’s the possibility of fractured teeth or damaged enamel. However, rawhide and beefhide do come with some drawbacks that are important to be aware of. They’re fantastic for satisfying your dog’s desire to chew and because they take a while to consume, they can help to banish boredom by providing mental stimulation. Some of the longest lasting dog chews that money can buy, rawhide and beefhide are natural, flavorsome and generally loved by most dogs. Rawhide vs beefhide - is one healthier than the other? It’s a question you may have found yourself pondering if you’re trying to find the most nutrient-dense treat to give to your canine companion. ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, but that’s not all! If the beholder likes the player characters enough or considers them great foes, it may decide to use its rays to either charm or petrify their bodies to be used as trophies.
