'They're out partying now!' Liam Gallagher is delighted his children now suffer awful hangovers because they realise he wasn't a bad dad when he got them Maria Shriver is seen for first time since ex Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about their painful split in his tell-all documentary Linnell, who spent six weeks with lawyers devising the terms and conditions, replied there were loopholes in the legislation which meant the prize could be claimed. 'If they do it illegally and they haven't got the permits, well they can't claim the money.' 'They can't win because one of the conditions is to do it legally,' he told the Sydney Morning Herald. Mooney also said it would be impossible to claim the reward. The Bulletin's competition was open to persons 18 years or older and tiger hunters were responsible for obtaining any government permits, approvals, licences or other necessary forms of consent.īut Tasmanian Environment Minister Judy Jackson said there was no way under her state's law any permits to capture a Tasmanian tiger would be issued. The stunt attracted immediate media attention from around the world, garnered free publicity worth an estimated $4million and inspired at least one imitator.īurnie-based tour company Thylacine Expeditions quickly offered $1.75million reward for pictures of a Tasmanian tiger in its own promotional gimmick. While Turner's offer was later withdrawn, Linnell's reward was more successful, at least for The Bulletin. In 1983 the American media mogul Ted Turner put up $US100,000 for proof of the Tasmanian tiger's existence. If people don't read the fine print we'll have real problems.'Ī thylacine reward offer was not unprecedented. If someone did, we probably wouldn't hear about it, but if you catch a thylacine in a trap you're bound to injure it. At the worst you could kill a thylacine, potentially. 'The net product is negative because it discredits and makes a joke out of extinct and endangered creatures. 'It's getting to the point where it's trivialising something,' he told The Age. He was already sick of stunts surrounding the tiger back then. In 2005 when the Bulletin offered its reward Mooney was a wildlife biologist with the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment. The museum's honorary curator of vertebrate zoology, Nick Mooney, concluded the three animals were more likely to be pademelons, a type of small wallaby. Waters, president of the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia, sent the images to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for assessment. The latest Tasmanian tiger hysteria was sparked by thylacine hunter Neil Waters, who released photographs taken three weeks ago which he said showed a family of the marsupials. The thylacine would have to be escorted to Sydney by an animal welfare specialist.īulletin editor Garry Linnell came up with the idea of the $1.25million reward as a publicity stunt to promote the loss-making magazine Linnell explained to Packer the conditions of claiming the reward were so onerous it was next to impossible for anyone to score the $1.25million.Ī successful applicant would have to capture a Tasmanian tiger without breaking any Australian or state laws and deliver it unharmed to The Bulletin's office in Park Street, Sydney. It was also not immediately popular with Packer, a famously big-time gambler, who wanted to know the odds of someone claiming the prize before he risked footing the bill.Īnswering that question was left to Bulletin editor Garry Linnell, who came up with the offer as a publicity stunt to promote a magazine losing millions of dollars a year. The offer caused huge controversy, particularly in Tasmania, with concerns it would lead to international bounty hunters stalking through the state's pristine wilderness. To mark the 125th anniversary of The Bulletin magazine in 2005 its billionaire owner Kerry Packer put up $1.25million for the capture of a 'live, uninjured' Tasmanian tiger. Such a discovery would be among the scientific finds of the century but 16 years ago there was an even more enticing reward offered for proving thylacines still exist. Billionaire Kerry Packer once offered $1.25million for the capture of a 'live, uninjured' Tasmanian tigerįresh photographs said to show a family of Tasmanian tigers living in remote bushland have reignited hopes among eternal optimists the fabled animal is not really extinct.

In between John had conjoined with the ocean child of his lyric Yoko. However on 13th October 1968 Julia became the last track to be recorded for the White Album and was achieved in just three takes, take three becoming the released version. The Kinfauns run-through in May 68 allowed John to block out a longer demo version of the song, with extra verses and ending with “ I can only speak my mind, Julia,” which he hadn’t yet done. However the lyrics to Hide Your Love Away are both cynical and self-deprecating as “ I cannot sing my heart,” whereas, in Julia, John is straining to reveal his emotions with the immediacy of his signature newspaper realism, in order to reach her as “ I can only speak my mind.” The Light Programme had given them so many opportunities to play live on air that The Beatles at the BBC archive albums runs to 140 tracks (!) but it had just ended to be re-invented as the far narrower pop music station Radio 1.Īt first I thought that Julia was a breakthrough acoustic guitar love song for John, but he’d already been featured in HELP! serenading Eleanor Bron, whom he adored, in acoustic troubadour mode. As it is Julia is his only solo acoustic guitar track for the Beatles and became part of the wonderful simulation of the BBC Light Programme that they created as the White Album. Perhaps he was still under the influence of Donovan and was considering writing more singer/songwriter material as his big bright blue pleasure machine looks ready for stage work (as seen below). Lennon was more interested in his musical instruments and commissioned The Fool to psychedelicise his acoustic Gibson guitar whilst he was still in the light and airy mode he had returned from India with. Pepper (see All You Need is Heutagogy for more). A diverse creativity initiated by the “ experimental style“ of the Beatles very own Sgt. So diverse that, just recently Spanish scientists have “proven” that over a period from 1955-2105 popular music was at a rich and creative peak at that time (1968). Whilst they wrote much of the White Album up in Rishikesh, once back in Britain they caught up with the ever-evolving and amazingly diverse music scene going on in London. Except, of course, that they were not only accomplished musicians but also avid music fans (see Ob-La-Di for more). And that music, it seems once again on the White Album, is untypical Beatles. Not so much Love Me Do, more “How do I love?” Julia is also another song that casts off the pressures of being in the Fab Four in order to play around with music. They are both songs that, like most of the White Album, ask questions first and then embark on an attempt to answer them. Like Pauls “I Will” Julia is a love song about love, a personal meditation on love. Johns feelings are both those of a respectful son and a lustful lout, possibly Oedipal shown awkwardly in the film perhaps because they are more about the directors lust for her leading man. In the book Julia tells wonderful stories of them that ring true and resonate with the wistful memories floated by John in this song. John’s half-sister is named after his mother, and I am a big fan of the interpretation of her provided by Anne-Marie Duff in Nowhere Boy, especially the scenes of all three of them together alongside Julia Lennon’s second husband. When you talk to people in Liverpool today about how they value the industry of Beatles memorabilia (not so much it seems), they tend to recommend the truthfulness of the book by Julia Baird called Imagine This. “This song is almost agonizingly exquisite in its restrained, laconic poetry, its combination of suggestive imagery with a reluctance to be explicit “ silent cloud touch me,” indeed.” The great Beatles musicologist Alan Pollack accurately sums it up like this There is a corner of Rishikesh that is forever Liverpool. Is this Johns moist beautiful song? It definitely builds on the open nostalgia they discovered and played free with up in a mountain village in the Himalayas. The 2 starting wands will not count, unless the spells on them are changed at some point. ↑ that will delete wands before being saved.While most enemies spawn with full HP, Kummitus spawns with only.Internally, this entity is named playerghost. Kummitus acts as the ghost of the player from a previous failed run, and it carries one of the wands the player was using at that point.The precise probability of Kummitus spawning is unknown, but in general the more possible spawn locations for a given biome, and the larger the biome region, the more likely it is that Kummitus will be seen in that biome. The following table lists which biomes Kummitus can and cannot currently spawn in, as well as the number of spawn locations currently in the wang tiles for the corresponding biome. State 2 and 3 last as long as it takes to load in the next possible spawn point for a ghost. If the check is successful, the game will advance from state 0 to state 2 near instantly. The function has a random variable not tied to the seed or the coordinates, which causes high variance in the ghost spawn even in the same seed. The check to advance from state 0 could fail several times and result in no ghost spawning in the whole run. (This possibly prevents another ghost from ever spawning in the same run, but is unconfirmed.) State 3 - Next possible spawn point will spawn the player ghost and will advance the state.State 2 - Next possible spawn point will have 4 candles and will advance the state.State 1 - Spawn 4 candles and advance the state.State 0 - Spawns nothing, but does a check to see if state advances to 1.This function has five states where it does different things: Unlike most enemy spawn triggers, which use the same 3-4 pixel-based triggers in the biome terrain wang tiles to spawn random enemies, Kummitus has a separate spawn function that is tied to a very specific trigger which is used by nothing else.

Įach death in this manner causes a bones file to generate in the player's persistent save data.

However, spell-based polymorphing effects can still apply. As a ghostly enemy it is immune to stains, which includes Polymorphine.As with all enemies who can pick up wands, kicking the ghost will force it to drop its wand, effectively disarming it.Like most enemies with armor, damage from slice spells such as Summon Disc Projectile and Magic Arrow is not reduced.Slice, Ice, and Explosion damage tend to fare the best. It takes half damage from most projectiles, even less from melee attacks, and less again from fire.However, be aware the Kummitus has a tendency to swap targets to the player, if they are in its line of sight. It is hostile to all creatures, and this can be utilized to help destroy particularly bothersome enemies with some creative kiting. If not armed with a wand, it will attempt to kick the player, dealing moderate damage. It may also deliberately drop the wand if there are no usable spells left. Kummitus always spawns with a wand, which it drops on death.

Way more complicated and what I've encountered is more costly. Where else can I find this kind of service? I can't guarantee credit card issuers the minimum sales $ they need. So far my most significant issue is that I got at least an hour of personal attention trying to recover postage I paid on a return, that the seller refused to refund. Any time I have a question, a phone call has quickly resolved it. It would be terrific if they would address a few issues, but for me, PP has been incredibly helpful and easy to use. As for me, despite the current problem I just posted about what I believe are unwarranted holds, this is the first time I have ever had an account ''problem'' (other than the customer/purchaser whose account turned out to have been hacked back around 2005 or 2006, and PP fixed everything on my seller end). Sat Jun 25 11:46:59 End - you must have had problems with them to want PP to close. It’s designed for personal payments only, so you can only send money to personal PayPal accounts - not business ones. I am wondering if PP is doing like eBay and trying to somehow accumulate funds to claim profits or income? PayPal Friends and Family (PPFF) is a service offered by PayPal to make it easier and cheaper to transfer money between friends and family members online. The other hold (for a measly $90 sale) is still in effect because I haven't shipped the item yet. In an effort to provide customers access to critical funds, PayPal will be temporarily waiving its own fees for customers sending funds to Ukrainian PayPal accounts or receiving funds into Ukrainian PayPal accounts until further notice. I was able to eliminate one of the holds by sending PayPal the UPS tracking (''delivered''). PayPal Consumer Fees Buying and sending money can be easy, fast, and secure when using PayPal. The vast majority of my sales are two figures. Also, compared with others I am nickel and diming it. NOW - out of the blue - PP has slapped HOLDS on two of my sales - claiming a ''sudden'' increase in my account - except nothing ''sudden'' has been happening!!! Sales are down (I didn't sell on eBay mid-May - mid-June because that's been a bad time for me in the past) income piddling in, but no LARGE differences. Everything went smoothly then, and my PP account has been problem free not only since then, but for YEARS before that. When the venue I sell on (since 2000, and I've been using PP for longer than that) began collecting sales tax they required me to change from a personal account to a business account, to continue offering customers the option to use PayPal. As has been said earlier, the dishonest will just use personal accounts. This is just like anything else - dishonest users spoil a very nice perk for the honest users. no grace period to the end of the billing cycle as there is on purchases) and d) are not eligible for cashback.Honestly, I don't blame PP for ending the F&F - I have wondered all along how long they would allow it and have done my best to not violate rules. I now always use the bank account as the source for the transaction and this works fine with no fees being charged at any stage.įrom the link you included in the question, the relevant Ts&Cs clearly show that cash advances a) have a higher interest rate than purchases, b) accrue a fee of 3% or £3, whichever is larger, c) start accruing interest on the date of the transaction (i.e. When I initially set it up (several years ago now) I tried using Amex in this way and it resulted in the transfer being treated as a cash advance. While you can send money through the platform with 0 transaction fees to friends and family from your bank or PayPal balance, you’ll pay 2.9 per transaction when you use your credit card. Source: I am in the UK, have a Paypal account which is linked to both my Amex card and my bank account, and regularly transfer money to friends and family members this way. You can transfer money to friends and family this way, and Paypal don't charge any additional fees, but Amex treat this as a "cash advance" and hence charge higher fees / interest on it and it is not eligible for cashback. So why are they called cat eyes? It’s because of the trucks slanted, cat eye like shaped headlights. Even today, people looking to pick up a reasonably priced, reliable vehicle should consider the cat eye. The Chevrolet Silverado will always be remembered as an iconic leap forward in the history of pickup design. In fact, the LBZ Duramx made an impressive 360 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. These engines were known for reliability, ease of maintenance, and solid and consistent horsepower. Out of all the engine choices, the LBZ Duramax V8 diesel engine is by far the most sought-after version of the cat eye Silverados. The cat eye Chevy Silverado trucks were optioned with four engine choices: 4.3L V6 engine, 4.8L V8 engine, 5.3L V8 engine, and 6.6L V8 Duramax LBZ diesel engine. In fact, they hold a strong resale value – even when mileage on the odometer is well over 100,000 miles. Yes, this generation of Chevy Silverado trucks commonly run well past 200,000 miles when maintained properly.Įven after over a decade of being on the market, these trucks are still commonly found on the roads today. It had an impressive 41 inches of headroom and 38.4 inches in the backseat of the Extended Cab. Its well known that if properly maintained, the cateye Silverados should survive for more than 200,000 miles.Īt the time it was built, the cateye lineup also boasted some impressive specs, with a workhorse of an engine, durable transmission, and unique but classic styling.Įven the cabin space was luxurious compared to many other trucks of its day. Of course, all of these features are nice, but the cateye is loved fondly for being a reliable powerhouse. It’s also able to be lowered for a unique appearance on the streets. The cateye can easily be turned into a show build or become a powerhouse off-road vehicle with ease. With it’s bold, brash design that stood out to drivers who wanted a more defined frame, the Chevy cat eye trucks really made a statement back in 2003.īecause at the time, the Silverado boasted something entirely unique: endless modification potential. Truth be told, this generation of truck was Chevy’s first real attempt at making an eye-catching truck with an aggressive look. Almost like a big cat ready to pounce on its prey.Īnd as the car industry trended more towards an aggressive design aesthetic, the Chevrolet Silverado “cat eye” truck was seen as leading the charge.Īdorned with distinct headlights reminiscent of its majestic namesake - a cat eye - the model gained admirers galore who celebrated its presence on highways and dirt roads alike. Most notably, the design of the front end differs from other trucks with its sloped headlights resembling a cat’s eyes.Įven the bumper shape and raised hood give the entire truck a more aggressive appearance. The first immediate distinction about the cat eye is its aggressive shape and angling. Specifically, the frontend design is what gave them this unique moniker. It’s actually tied to the bold, eye-catching style of the Silverado truck. The name cat eye means far more than it might sound at first.
