Microcosm books10/31/2022 ![]() “Six years ago a publishing researcher from London came to my office and she was the first person that helped me make sense of the subject. I had to point out repeatedly that books are an emotional purchase and our customers are invested in our long-term success.” ![]() This once offended some economists who studied it because they wanted to believe that consumers were rationally self-interested. So in effect, more sales at the same price is the final outcome. But more surprisingly, the average sale ends up being the cover price, because just as many customers turn the price up as people turn it down. The titles are also very reasonably priced, but nonetheless they’ve adopted a “sliding scale” or “pay what you can afford” retail pricing policy.“We implemented it in 2009 and it was in practice since 2010 so I can tell you definitively that we have to turn away fewer customers. It feels like home.”Ī quick look at the Microcosm catalog shows how unique their titles are: Paleo for Unicorns Chocolatology How Not to Kill Yourself and This is Your Brain on Anxiety. ![]() It's also an audience that makes us feel good about what we do every day at work. It's a spirited group that will happily tell you how they feel and push us to do better. It's an audience that is mostly ignored - if people even admit it exists at all. I'm a bit more attuned to the struggles that plenty of people face, which probably created the melting pot which is Microcosm's editorial vision-and as a result, audience-which has always skewed mostly female, mostly people of color, mostly queer, and mostly low income. “Perhaps it's groundbreaking that I succeeded by trying to create resources that were lacking for me as a child. Microcosm has the unique company policy of constantly asking the question, “How can we remove barriers to success for marginalized people in our industry?” Soon I'll have lived in Portland longer than I've lived anywhere else.” “I expected to stay for about a year, but a year later it felt more like home than home ever had. Joe Biel started Microcosm Publishing in Portland, Oregon 22 years ago as “a punk rock teenager.” Having grown up during hard times in rust-belt Cleveland, Ohio on a social security income, autistic and poorly educated, he headed west to check out the blossoming arts scene in Portland. ![]() Indie Groundbreaking Publisher Microcosm Publishing of Portland Punk Rock Publishing for a Marginalized Audience ![]()

Freedom chevrolet san antoni10/31/2022 ![]() ![]() I took my car to this dealership hoping for better service than at the last Chevy dealership, Northside Chevrolet, and Freedom was was doing well until this situation. This is incorrect as I discovered later that my car is not being repaired, nor are parts being ordered (which is what I was told by Vanderpot), but instead my car is sitting in their holding lot. Instead I was brushed off by the young woman who took my call, telling me that, “she was unable to see any details only that my car was ‘being repaired’”. Freedom chevrolet san antoni update#I have not gotten updates nor was I given an update when I called. Even after all of that, and getting the approval for my vehicle’s repair, and being notified by the warranty company that the repair has been approved, my car is still waiting to be serviced. Although at first Justin Vanderpot was helpful, I ended having to call my warranty company myself and gather all the paperwork for my repair approval. After seven weeks, my 2017 Chevy Volt is still waiting to be serviced and repaired. I will not return to your dealership.I cannot recommend this dealership for service. ![]() I think this is ridiculous and dishonest. The dealership then proceeded to charge for the cap replacement, and new fluid and flush. This dealership is the mechanic who have touched the car and is the only way the cap could have been loosened ( not properly resealed after the 16 December repairs). The cap had to be tapered with during the 16 December visit and not properly secured. The cap does just not come loose by itself. The dealership said the brake fluid cap was missing. We brought the car back in on 30 December to find out why this happened. Then on 29 December the low brake fluid indicator sounded. Freedom chevrolet san antoni full#We brought the car in on 16 December for routine maintenance and full check up. We have come to accept this from this dealership - but the main issue was this most recent visit was the blatant lies. no matter how many times we complete this survey the customer service does not improve. We consistently have trouble with customer service with this dealership. The driver/porter that picked up my truck in Roma, Jose, was very respectful. Other employees were courteous and genuine. It is disappointing that one person would ruin the whole experience. ![]() ![]() Did not enjoy my purchase nor my service at Freedom. Philip from sales has a way with words that makes you believe in all that he says. I regret giving a high rating on the delivery survey. I honestly don't think they ordered them until I called to check because no one had reached out to me. Freedom failed to keep me updated with the order. Long story short, truck only got the rims and tires because apparently they were not going to finish my truck in one day like they have said they would.īy the way, these rims and tires should have been on my truck since the first week of December. I needed the clear protective strip on the driver's door to be seems to be peeling off from the lower area (this product wasn't free.you all charged for it). I was told that my truck was getting the new tires and rims, that 3 recalls were going to be taken care of, washed (because it wasn't properly washed when I took delivery of the truck), and that for me to let them know of other things that needed to be taken care of. First of all, I did not have my truck serviced on, it was serviced on. ![]()

Max payne 3 xbox series x10/31/2022 ![]() ![]() In the third game, shootdodging is highly recommended to be planned ahead either by jumping towards a spot behind a cover or be used to take down the last few remaining enemies in his area within his line of sight that will end in a cinematic kill-cam along with a shootdodge. If Max can/cannot dispatch all of his enemies in his immediate line of sight in mid air he now has the option to continue to lay on the ground from his shootdodge and continue shooting. So if he simply jumps to the middle of a room that is flanked by enemies from multiple directions, he'll be caught in a cross fire within a second. If successful in killing the attacker, Max automatically consumes a painkiller then continues to soldier on with an empty bullet time meter.Ī major caveat of shootdodging is when Max has to get up from laying on the ground which he can still aim and fire his weapon but there is a significant duration which he won't be able to fire his weapons with ease and be vulnerable. ![]() Last Man Standing is the new mechanic where, upon having his health drained, with both ammo and at least one bottle of Painkillers left, Max will automatically go into Bullet Time (even if the bullet time meter is empty). New to the series is Max's ability to go into Last Man Standing. The physics of shootdodging are improved with Payne reacting to the environment and falling on the ground more realistically. A simple strategy is to use your two-handed weapon primarily, and once it is empty, switch to dual-wielding. This makes dual-wielding a gambit at some points, as Max's two-handed weapon could prove more useful later on. To dual-wield, however, Max will drop any two-handed weapon in his possession to use two weapons instead. For example, Max is able to shoot both a submachine gun and a pistol at the same time. Īny two single-handed weapons can be used to dual-wield. Įnemy character models display different injury and death animations depending on the types of weapons used against them and the parts of their bodies hit. The game introduces a cover system similar to Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption, but the developers also said that it doesn't have to be used and is merely an option. Ī lot of in-world objects are destructible. A new bullet time variant is the "environmental bullet time" when the game speed is slowed down during certain scripted events for the player to quickly react. Max Payne 3 features an improved Bullet Time mode: more details of the game's world are presented in slow-motion, such as those of flying bullet casings, etc.

Eurasian tree sparrow10/31/2022 ![]() Most species in the genus are typically 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) long, predominantly brown or greyish birds with short square tails and stubby conical beaks. domesticus) have adapted to human habitations. Its members are typically found in open, lightly wooded, habitats, although several species, notably the house sparrow ( P. The Old World sparrow genus Passer is a group of small passerine birds that is believed to have originated in Africa, and which contains 15–25 species depending on the authority. Taxonomy ĭescription of the house and Eurasian tree sparrows from the Systema naturae This may have resulted from the small size of the founding North American population and a consequent loss of genetic diversity. A study comparing the vocalisations of the introduced Missouri population with those of birds from Germany showed that the US birds had fewer shared syllable types ( memes) and more structure within the population than the European sparrows. Other monosyllabic chirps are used in social contacts, and the flight call is a harsh teck. #Eurasian tree sparrow series#The Eurasian tree sparrow has no true song, but its vocalisations include an excited series of tschip calls given by unpaired or courting males. The change in mass is due to an increase in blood volume to support active feather growth, and a generally higher water content in the body. Adult and juvenile Eurasian tree sparrows undergo a slow complete moult in the autumn, and show an increase in body mass despite a reduction in stored fat. Its contrasting face pattern makes this species easily identifiable in all plumages the smaller size and brown, not grey, crown are additional differences from the male house sparrow. This sparrow is distinctive even within its genus in that it has no plumage differences between the sexes the juvenile also resembles the adult, although the colours tend to be duller. The legs are pale brown, and the bill is lead-blue in summer, becoming almost black in winter. The upperparts are light brown, streaked with black, and the brown wings have two distinct narrow white bars. #Eurasian tree sparrow Patch#The adult's crown and nape are rich chestnut, and there is a kidney-shaped black ear patch on each pure white cheek the chin, throat, and the area between the bill and throat are black. The Eurasian tree sparrow is 12.5–14 cm (5– 5 + 1⁄ 2 in) long, with a wingspan of about 21 cm (8.3 in) and a weight of 24 g (0.85 oz), making it roughly 10% smaller than the house sparrow. In eastern Asia and western Australia, this species is sometimes viewed as a pest, although it is also widely celebrated in oriental art. The Eurasian tree sparrow's extensive range and large population ensure that it is not endangered globally, but there have been large declines in western European populations, in part due to changes in farming practices involving increased use of herbicides and loss of winter stubble fields. The Eurasian tree sparrow is widespread in the towns and cities of eastern Asia, but in Europe it is a bird of lightly wooded open countryside, with the house sparrow breeding in the more urban areas. As with other small birds, infection by parasites and diseases, and predation by birds of prey take their toll, and the typical life span is about two years. This sparrow feeds mainly on seeds, but invertebrates are also consumed, particularly during the breeding season. The typical clutch is five or six eggs which hatch in under two weeks. ![]() The Eurasian tree sparrow's untidy nest is built in a natural cavity, a hole in a building or the disused nest of a European magpie or white stork. ![]() ![]() Although several subspecies are recognised, the appearance of this bird varies little across its extensive range. This sparrow breeds over most of temperate Eurasia and Southeast Asia, where it is known as the tree sparrow, and it has been introduced elsewhere including the United States, where it is known as the Eurasian tree sparrow or German sparrow to differentiate it from the native unrelated American tree sparrow. The sexes are similarly plumaged, and young birds are a duller version of the adult. Primarily feeds on ground but also forages on plants and trees.The Eurasian tree sparrow ( Passer montanus) is a passerine bird in the sparrow family with a rich chestnut crown and nape, and a black patch on each pure white cheek. Often associated with human presence.īehaviour/Ecology: Gregarious, associates in flocks. Habitat: Open habitat, including parks, urban areas, grasslands, and fields. Female House Sparrow more drab, lacks bib, chestnut cap, and richer brown colouration of Eurasian Tree Sparrow. Separated from much male House Sparrow by smaller size, browner underparts, chestnut cap, dark cheek patch. ![]() Subspecies are: montanus, dybowskii, transcaucasicus, kansuensis, dilutus, tibetanus, saturatus, hepaticus, malaccensis.ĭistinctive sparrow, sexes similar. ![]() |
