![]() The quagga mussel was first observed in North America in September 1989, when it was discovered in Lake Erie near Port Colborne, Ontario. ![]() Zebra mussels, the first dreissenid mussel introduced in North America, rapidly spread throughout many major river systems and the Great Lakes, causing substantial ecological and environmental impacts. The mussel is expected to compete with existing zebra mussels and native species, becoming widespread due to its ecological tolerance and suitability to Irish climatic conditions. In Ireland, the mussels were first discovered in 2021 in two lakes on the River Shannon: Lough Derg and Lough Ree. In 2014, the species was reported at Wraysbury Reservoir, not far from London's Heathrow Airport in the valley of the River Thames. They were first identified in Switzerland in 2015, and in Lake Constance in 2016, where they have since spread massively and caused considerable problems, in particular to the machinery in waterworks. In Germany, quagga mussels were first identified in 2005, and now populate many inland waters, such as the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal, the Main, and the Rhine. In Romania, quagga mussels were first found in 2004 in the Danube River. Today, they are an invasive species found throughout western Europe. Quagga mussels are presumed to have originated in the Ukrainian section of the Black Sea and probably began to spread further into eastern Europe in the 1940s. In 2019, the genome of a quagga mussel from the Danube River in Austria was sequenced, revealing how larvae use a system of intercellular 'cleavage cavities' and an expanded set of aquaporin transmembrane water channels for osmoregulation in low-salinity freshwater environments during the early stages of their development. Mortality in this transitional stage from planktonic veliger to settled juvenile may exceed 99%. Free-swimming veligers drift with the currents for 3 to 4 weeks feeding by their hair-like cilia while trying to locate suitable substrata to settle and secure byssal threads. After fertilization, pelagic microscopic larvae, or veligers, develop within a few days and these veligers soon acquire minute bivalve shells. A fully mature female mussel is capable of producing up to one million eggs per year. ![]() are dioecious (either male or female) with external fertilization. The quagga mussel is a prolific breeder, possibly contributing to its spread and abundance. The particle-free water is then discharged out the excurrent siphon. Any undesirable particulate matter is bound with mucus, known as pseudofeces, and ejected out the incurrent siphon. Each adult mussel is capable of filtering one liter or more of water each day, where they remove phytoplankton, zooplankton, algae, and even their own veligers. The quagga mussel is a filter feeder it uses its cilia to pull water into its shell cavity through an incurrent siphon, where the desirable particulate matter is removed. Quagga mussels in Lake Michigan sediment sample Diet It is also slightly larger than the zebra mussel, about 20 mm (0.8 in) wide, roughly about the size of an adult human's thumbnail. The quagga mussel shell can be distinguished from the zebra mussel shell because it is paler toward the end of the hinge. The quagga mussel resembles the zebra mussel, just as its namesake (quagga) resembles the zebra. The shell has a rounded carina and a convex ventral side. However, a large range of shell morphologies is seen, including a distinct morph in Lake Erie that is pale or completely white. The quagga mussel shell is generally black, yellow, and/or zig-zagged. The invasive quagga mussel is currently of major concern as it spreads in the rivers and lakes of Europe and also in the Great Lakes of North America where it was brought to by overseas shippers that use the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The species is indigenous to the Dnipro River drainage of Ukraine, and is named after the quagga, an extinct subspecies of African zebra, possibly because, like the quagga, its stripes fade out towards the ventral side. It has an average lifespan of 3 to 5 years. The quagga mussel ( Dreissena rostriformis, also known as Dreissena bugensis or Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) is a species (or subspecies) of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Dreissenidae.

![]() ![]() If you plan on coming for a meal and a drink you can probably just walk in, but if you want to come for the night life, you should instead consider reserving a table or bottle service well in advance. When it comes to the club itself, a reservation is the only way of getting in most nights. Getting into the restaurant side is not too difficult earlier in the night, when there are plenty of tables, but as the night goes on it can get insanely crowded in there and you may not be able to get in. The staff are incredibly attentive and you will feel well cared for at this venue. You will find the clientele is very mixed, with some young people and some older people, however everyone is friendly and you will most likely enjoy yourself and meet some new and interesting people, even if you feel out of place at first. You can either take a seat and have a meal, or order some tasting plates and have a light snack with your drinks, to energize you for a night or partying. The Tao also offers a restaurant selection of Asian fusion cuisine. The bar includes no seating and wraps around in a horseshoe shape, making it easy to order drinks. The seating is mostly open benches, which encourages mingling and talking, but there are some options of smaller tables. If you feel that there is not enough energy when you first arrive, stop, have something to eat, and wait a few hours. The music starts out quite soft earlier in the night, to cater to the restaurant clientele, and builds up as the night progresses, turning into more of a party atmosphere. The dance floor is reasonably sized, and when it's packed you will feel an atmosphere really getting going. It makes for perfect lounging to have a nice drink at the end of a long day, catch up with friends, or meet new people. The booths are fairly comfortable, upholstered in pleather and with plenty of room for individuals or groups to gather round or spread out, enjoying the environment as they please. The decor in Tao Club New York is basically a work of art in and of itself. ![]() The warmth of tea lights and chandeliers and the roughness of the bricks in this New York nightclub creates an amazing blend of textures and colours that will leave you wowed. Combining graffiti portraits of traditionally dressed East Asian women with club lighting and disco balls makes for an amazing environment. You will find the red and gold tones of the building from the outside quite inviting, and you will feel drawn inside. Both are ran by the same people and to the same standard, so where you go just depends on your personal preference or where you happen to be at the time. There are actually two Tao clubs, one uptown and one down town. ![]() Tao Club in New York is an Asian bistro and nightclub.

My gorgeously intricate heart designs are perfect for the wet vinyl method, and I’m sharing these SVG cut files for free! See the material list below for links to everything you need to craft along with me! You’ll also want isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth to clean the glass of the shadowbox. It’s hard to see cuts on white vinyl, so this will help me see them better, but it’s completely optional. Since I chose to use white vinyl for my shadow box, I’m going to use my Cricut BrightPad to help during weeding. ![]() To cut the vinyl for our project, a Cricut cutting machine does a great job! You can use any Cricut that uses Design Space for this project! If you do use a Cricut, you’ll also want a green machine mat, brayer, scraper, measuring tape, a weeding tool, and some scissors.

If you’re brand new to DJing and haven’t chosen yet, then this a great time to read this. So in this roundup, we’ll look at all the big platforms, and I’ll explain to you what they do and don’t do, what hardware they work with, and the types of DJs that use them. And as I say, once you’ve chosen, it’s hard to change. ![]() We always recommend picking your DJ software first, and your hardware second.īut it may not be the right one for you. Usually when you buy a piece of DJ gear you like the look of, you realise it has a software platform it’s designed to work with, and that’s that – that’s your platform! If you go for Traktor hardware, Traktor Pro is the software you’ll end up using – the same is true of most platforms. Learn to DJ from scratch on any software and gear: The Compete DJ CourseĪnd yet many DJs seem to end up on one platform or another by accident. Also, switching software is painful, as DJs necessarily get deeply attached to workflows that are tied to the software they’ve chosen. It often defines what DJ hardware you can use, and at the very least how easily you can use that hardware. Our mission is to help people become great DJs and DJ/producers, which informs all of our articles, videos and training. We are funded primarily by our students, so have no biases when it comes to what we recommend, and we’re not scared to call out where we think products or services fall short. We are the world’s leading DJ school, with 35,000 students, and we are also Europe’s biggest DJ tech site. So what is the best DJ software 2023? The two most used platforms among the Digital DJ Tips community are easily Rekordbox and Serato, but other names include Traktor, Virtual DJ, djay Pro, and Engine DJ, all of which we’ll cover here. This is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your DJing, akin to a music producer deciding if they want to use Ableton Live, Logic Pro or FL Studio to make music with.Īnd just like in music production, there are many pieces of software to choose from, not just those three I mentioned (there’s also Cubase, Bitwig Studio, Reaper…) – the same is true for DJ software. As a DJ, unless you DJ with records or CDs exclusively (which very few people do nowadays), you are going to need to choose a DJ software platform. ![]() I was done with it.Īnd that's where I am now. I could update this guide with more info every time an update comes out, but the fact is, I simply don't want to. I'm tired of Subnautica, at least for now. Perhaps when it fully releases, I'll get back into it. I hope the information in this guide will be helpful for as long as it can, and I hope that Unknown Worlds ends up making a fantastic game. The Mushroom Forest Biome is one of the deepest, darkest, and spookiest places to find Lithium. It is also one of the deepest, darkest, and spookiest places in Subnautica, period. Inhabited by packs of haunting, ghost-like Jelly Rays and crammed full of the towering, titular mushroom trees, the Mushroom Forest Biome is not a place you want to hang around for too long. However, it is one of the best places to find Lithium, as the crystals themselves are spread out along the ground and on the trees. The Mushroom Forest biome can often be found just beyond the Grassy Plateaus biome, but if you can't find it, try heading towards the front of the Aurora. Water Pressure (only in the deeper parts) A Mushroom Forest can be found near there. Lithium in the Mushroom Forest Biome is extremely easy to find. They are found along the floor of the biome, and on the sides of the Mushroom Trees. The Mushroom Forest Biome can be found towards the front/middle of the Aurora. If you thought the Mushroom Forest Biome was scary (at least at night), then the Jelly Shroom Caves are its tough, grizzled great-grandfather. A pitch-black, winding labyrinth that seems to never end, this is a place where many go, but very few return from. If you do make it back, however, you will surely not be doing so empty-handed, for the Caves offer some of the best loot Subnautica has to offer. Stacks and stacks of Gold and Lithium lie around every corner, and a single trip to this horrifying abyss should be enough to provide you with enough Lithium to construct a Cyclops, at the very least. The real question is, are you crazy enough to descend to your certain death to get a material that could be gotten elsewhere with half the risk? It's up to you to decide.Įntrances to the Jelly Shroom Caves can be found all over the map, but especially in the Grassy Plateaus biome. Lithium in the Jelly Shroom stalks discovered by TijlP05, here is a link to their profile in case they changed their username: Keep an eye out for deep and dark holes in the ground, as these often lead into Shroom Caves. Once you've gotten in to the Caves, it should be easy to find Lithium. ![]() The Lithium in the Shroom Caves is located inside Shale Harvesting Nodes, which come in plentiful quantites (when you get to the main caves, that is). Lithium crystals can also be found inside of the Jelly Shrooms themselves. Just find the entrance to their "stalk" by swimming up to their top, then go inside them. ![]() Shale Nodes on a Cave wall, near a Jelly Shroom. Magma vent on the floor of a large Shroom Cave.

The Floating Island is one of the strangest and most breathtaking biomes in all of Subnautica. ![]() Suspended at the surface of the ocean by a group of massive Floaters, this this bizarre place is the largest naturally-occuring landmass in the entire game. Unfortunately, this island is a terrible place to find Lithium. While it does appear on the island, it is both very rare and incredibly difficult to find. Those facts combined with the difficulty of locating the Floating Island in the first place, and how far away the island is from your Escape Pod, make the Floating Island a very poor choice for a place to search for Lithium, and I would recommend only going to it in times of extreme desperation (i.e. you've depleted all Lithium elsewhere in the world). The Floating Island can be found by heading directly east of the Aurora. ![]() USD Coin or USDC is a stablecoin issued by regulated financial institutions and fully backed by the U.S. In 2020, Circle and Coinbase announced an upgrade to the USDC protocol and smart contracts, making it easier for USD Coin to be used for everyday payments and transactions.
