![]() ![]() Scientifically, the fact that Big John has the largest known skull among documented Triceratops is “basically pointless,” acknowledges Iacopo Briano, a gallery owner and natural history auction expert who worked with Binoche et Giquello to promote the sale of Big John. Even so, “it’s very limited in how useful it would be for science,” says Denver Fowler, curator of the Badlands Dinosaur Museum at North Dakota’s Dickinson Museum Center. The mounted fossil cuts a dashing figure, and the animal has an intriguing wound in its frill that healed during its life. While it’s uncommon to find a Triceratops skull together with its skeleton, as was the case with Big John, the dinosaur’s completeness-with 75 percent of its skull and 60 percent of the full skeleton-isn’t unheard of, and its bones vary in quality from beautifully preserved to weathered. On October 21, the Paris-based auction houses Binoche et Giquello and Hôtel Drouot sold Big John on behalf of the Italian fossil firm Zoic for the highest price ever paid at a European auction for a fossil-and the highest price ever paid at auction for a fossil creature other than Tyrannosaurus rex. With a reconstructed skull stretching more than five feet long (155 centimeters), Big John’s noggin is a few inches larger than any Triceratops skull that has been documented in the scientific literature, earning the dinosaur a Guinness World Record. ( Venture inside the homes-and minds-of private fossil collectors in National Geographic magazine.) Some scientists are worried that the growing prices for ancient bones could drive future fossils into private collections, preventing researchers from studying the irreplaceable remains. rex skeleton called Stan sold to an anonymous buyer in a court-mandated auction for $31.8 million-the most ever paid for a fossil. ![]() A little more than a year ago, a scientifically important T. With much fanfare and a jaw-dropping sale price of $7.7 million (6.65 million euros) to an anonymous buyer last month, Big John became a big deal-and added fuel to an ongoing, thorny debate among scientists, auctioneers, commercial paleontologists, and private landowners.īig John is just the latest high-profile fossil to sell for millions of dollars. Then, in 2020, he sold the fossil to an Italian firm that prepared it for auction. museum would purchase it-but none came forward. For six years, he held on to the Triceratops in hopes that a U.S. The founder of a South Dakotan firm called PaleoAdventures, which digs up fossils for commercial sale, Stein nicknamed the fossil “Big John” after the owner of the ranch where he found it. Stein realized he was looking at the horns of a Triceratops, and despite the horns’ weathered condition, he could tell that they belonged to a big one. With many large fairs around the world, the trade must amount to “hundreds of millions of dollars every year but potentially a lot more than that,” he said.Walter Stein was exploring a ranch in Perkins County, South Dakota, in 2014 when he stumbled across a root-covered set of bones that had tumbled out of an eroding hillside. The size of the private market for fossils is unclear, but Barrett estimates it to be a fairly big trade, although most of the sales take place through private deals, not at auction. “There are a few very nice T-rex skulls in both museum collections and private collections and this one sounds like a particularly nice one,” he told CNN. Professor Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum in London, who has published research on the private trade of fossils, has not seen the specimen but said judging from its listing, it is “not a unique object but it is a rare one.” Most of the museum skulls you see are not actually real fossils.” There are not many pieces available to the public. ![]() “It could also be a corporation – oil and gas companies would be interested in having such items in their headquarters. “It would probably be a passionate collector,” Martigny said.

While the gameplay is very similar to the original PAC-MAN, gamers this time have a slew of new power-ups and abilities to keep them entertained. The ghosts this time around are just a tad bit smarter and their new patterns and movements will have you thinking twice before running to gobble them down. PAC-MAN 256 has been cleverly designed to be played in short bursts of time where you are forced to develop a smart strategy to survive and gain points. Instead, you are tasked with outlasting the Glitch in an endless maze-runner that has you consuming the iconic PAC-MAN ghosts, Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde to gain the highest score on the leaderboards. The aspect that I loved best about PAC-MAN 256 is that you are not constrained to one small level where you must eat every dot to advance. In PAC-MAN 256 the Glitch relentlessly chases our yellow dot-muncher, PAC-MAN, throughout the entire game while destroying everything in its path. They not only hinder the immersion of the game as a whole but ultimately are just downright frustrating and annoying. One thing that all gamers hate in their games are glitches. This idea for the Glitch was inspired from the unbeatable 256th level found in the original PAC-MAN arcade game and is now being brought back to terrorize players on consoles and PC. PAC-MAN 256 is developed by Hipster Whale bring a new terror for PAC-MAN to face-the dreaded Glitch. Gamers are introduced to an all-new four-player mode where they must battle the endless glitch to achieve an all-time high score. PAC-MAN 256 takes our beloved PAC-MAN and pits him up against an array of new challenges and enemies while forcing him to consume all the Pac Dots, fruit, and power-ups that his little tummy can handle. ![]() This new introduction of the epic mascot includes a new kill screen that haunts players throughout each level adding an entirely new level of anxiety and fun. PAC-MAN 256 released last year on iOS and Android devices which introduced gamers to a whole new era of endless maze excitement. PAC-MAN 256 has made its way from mobile devices to consoles and PC for the low price of $4.99. Cheap, fun and addictive, this game is definitely good for a quick play session whenever you're feeling bored.Bandai Namco has released PAC-MAN 256 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. One very cool feature of this game is that if you can manage to eat 256 pellets in a row, it will kill every single ghost on screen and off screen for a short period and give you a huge boost on your score. All of this their to help you reach and beat your high score over and over. There are a wide variety of power-ups as well, ranging from bombs to nukes. There is a coin currency in the game that you earn by picking up coins on runs or by completing mission, these coins can be spent on upgrading the various in-game power-ups to give you more points from killing ghosts or just make the power-ups last longer. The game starts you with only a few basic power-ups to help you get high scores and complete missions the game gives you such as 'eat 10 power-ups' or 'Eat 5 fruit'. You are essentially put on a randomly generated Pacman board that goes on forever (or until you die, which you will).

Seventh at the turn in the 100m butterfly final, a clearly exhausted Phelps seemed shot. And then, with six gold medals safely stowed, the dream looked all but over. The first scare came in the 4x100m relay final, but team-mate Jason Lezak proved himself the perfect wingman by chasing down France’s Alain Bernard to snatch gold for the USA on the final stroke. To say he dominated does not do justice to his display. Only twice did it look like the man from Baltimore might not pass compatriot Mark Spitz’s iconic haul of seven gold medals, won at the Munich 1972 Games. He competed in all four strokes and covered distances from 100m to 400m.

Fallout 3 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) Assuming we don't all fall victim to bio-nuclear thermo-warfare, the year 2277 is bound to have some amazing looking things to see (and with any luck, most of it will be DRM-free).

If you're a little skeptical (and since this is the Internet, you certainly are) equip the flame thrower and torch everything for a couple of minutes.

These won't convert protected PDFs - nor will PDF Transformer. Very handy !The ABBYY website states that ABBYY Transformer is no longer sold as a separate product but is now part of ABBYY FineReader.Alan doesn't mention it but there are numerous online conversion tools - from the all purpose Zamzar ( ) to more PDF specific tools such as PDF2Doc ( ), smallpdf ( ) and PDF to Word () among others. Bundled with it was Screenshot Reader - OCR for anything on screen to then paste into Word, Excel etc. As well as PDF to Word there are other conversions of particular use (the reason originally bought it) is the capacity to convert an image pdf to a searchable one. I've used ABBYY Transformer for many years - a really excellent product. The bottom line? You should only focus on getting the content from the PDF to Word, and not on the formatting you can always do the formatting later. In most cases, the Word document will need a lot of formatting to make it look the way you want. One thing that you should be aware of is that when you convert your PDF file to a Word document, that doesn't mean that the Word document will look like the original PDF looks. If you are interested in this product, it is called PDF Transformer, from ABBYY software: One company has taken the OCR process a step further, allowing you to skip the scanning and instead convert directly from PDF. If you already have a scanner and OCR software, you can print the PDF file, then scan the document and use the OCR software to convert it to a Word document. Instead, you will need to look to a third-party solution. If the PDF file is protected (authors can set security settings on PDF files so they are protected), then you won't be able to use either of the foregoing solutions.

A potential way to fix the Noble conflict would be to (1) limit the noble buff to just the nobles in the comp and (2) apply the stronger buff to all nobles only once you reach 6 Nobles. However, all good things must come to an end because this buff was quickly hot-fixed just two days after the buff. Riot addressed the fact that Nobles were “under performing a bit as an end-game fantasy,” and addressed the need to “make bigger changes to address this.” They tried to fix this by buffing the bonus armor and magic resist to 75 (previously 60). Demons can now cast their spells faster, so be prepared to watch Aatrox spam his ultimate ability every few seconds. Demons now have a base 40% chance to burn 20 mana from their target, and will gain 15/30/45 mana from the attacker.

While it’s tempting to put her and the other newer Hextech comps into your standard play, it’s best to play her when you are able to capitalize on her Gunslinger buff. Her damage output easily rivals Draven’s raw damage. She is a Hextech/Gunslinger hyper-carry who has the potential to single-handedly win any game she’s in when given the right items. Jinx is arguably the best solo carry in this patch. The best way to do this is to grab an early Jinx and whatever champion best synergies with your existing comp. However, the Hextech origin is best seen as a complimentary synergy for late-game comps, rather then a central composition type. The best answer for a Hextech comp is to spread out your champions wisely to minimize the chance that your carry will be affected by the bomb. The Hextech origin trait is the crux of a hyper-carry team: a Hextech champion throws a bomb at a random enemy unit with an item, and disables that champion’s items plus anyone in a 1/2 hex radius for the first 8 seconds of combat.
