![]() Apple is a year behind Samsung in 5G systems integration there's no getting around that. In contrast, the A14 Bionic is paired with an older X55 modem chip made by Qualcomm and has to go through interconnects for its data communications pipeline. However, right now, for S21 devices in the North American market, Samsung uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoCs that are faster in some raw benchmark areas than the A14, such as memory bandwidth. But what we can do is measure by key performance indicators or KPIs. Of course, what is "better" can be a highly personalized consideration what's better for me is not necessarily better for you, depending on the use case and a lot of other stuff. OK, so it's clear who's selling the most phones, but who's making the best phones?Įvery time someone here at ZDNet - or an industry media site - writes something positive or negative about either of the two leading smartphone vendors, the usual fan debates erupt in the forums and comment sections. In contrast, Samsung did not make comparative price adjustments to its line later in the year and did not have 5G across its line until recently. ![]() ![]() We also have to account for other models - the iPhone SE, the iPhone XR, and the iPhone 11 - that continued to sell well at reduced price points following the iPhone 12 launch. Still, the iPhone 12 was a massive win for the company as its first 5G device, and its price point was lower than for the previous model on the entry-level when it was first introduced. I am not entirely sure what is accounting for Apple's significant gain here. ![]() Worldwide Unit Shipments of Smartphones (1000s) in Q4 2020 Gartner ![]()

![]() Research over the last decade suggests that speaking more than one language may provide cognitive benefits, specifically in executive functions involving cognitive control (for a review see Dong and Li, 2015). Although bilingualism is commonly defined as speaking more than one language (with most studies reporting participants who speak two languages), we use the term multilingualism when referring to our sample, as approximately half of our multilingual patients speak more than two languages. We will next briefly review the findings from each of these lines of evidence. The current study seeks to examine the above proposal by comparing cortical thickness and tissue density in LCC brain areas and areas known to atrophy in MCI and AD (referred to here as disease-related areas), in a sample of monolingual and multilingual MCI and AD patients, matched (within Diagnosis Group) on cognitive functioning. However, the predictions made by these two independent lines of evidence have not been concurrently evaluated in the same participants. Further, it has recently been proposed that the increased gray matter seen in older bilinguals may be one of a number of variables contributing to cognitive reserve seen in bilingual dementia patients (Gold, 2016). Secondly, research with patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) suggests that bilingualism may contribute to cognitive reserve, similar to other enriching lifestyle factors, as evidenced by differences in age of symptom onset (Alladi et al., 2013, Bialystok et al., 2014), and medial temporal lobe atrophy (Schweizer et al., 2012). Firstly, research with healthy younger and older adults indicates that speaking more than one language is associated with increase gray matter volume or thickness in language and cognitive control (LCC) areas (e.g., Klein et al., 2014). Two independent lines of research provide evidence for bilingualism’s potential impact on brain structure. ![]() Our results suggest that being multilingual may contribute to increased gray matter in LCC areas and may also delay the cognitive effects of disease-related atrophy. Given that multilinguals and monolinguals were matched on memory functioning, this suggests that increased gray matter in these regions may provide support to memory functioning. Finally, multilingual patients showed a correlation between cortical thickness in LCC regions and performance on episodic memory tasks. Results were largely replicated in our native-born Canadian MCI participants, ruling out immigration as a potential confound. ![]() In areas related to language and cognitive control (LCC), both multilingual MCI and AD patients had thicker cortex than the monolinguals. In medial temporal disease-related (DR) areas, we found higher tissue density in multilingual MCIs versus monolingual MCIs, but similar or lower tissue density in multilingual AD versus monolingual AD, a pattern consistent with cognitive reserve in AD. ![]() We examined cortical thickness and tissue density in monolingual and multilingual MCI and AD patients matched (within Diagnosis Groups) on demographic and cognitive variables. Two independent lines of research provide evidence that speaking more than one language may 1) contribute to increased grey matter in healthy younger and older adults and 2) delay cognitive symptoms in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer disease (AD). ![]() ![]() These days Benefit from the Complete edition.

Only two zookeepers/scientists/marine specialists can be "focused" on an exhibit or an animal at a time put ten zookeepers in an exhibit and all of them will promptly leave except for two, who will stay behind and take care of any needs that need to be addressed. In the original game, staff can be more than dimwitted.It should be noted that this is sometimes the player's fault if they forgot to add a gate (in the sequel anyway, as gates are automatically added to enclosures in the original) or if the gate is blocked by another object, but just as often the keeper simply has no excuse. Zookeepers being unable to reach an animal/food dish/poo for no reason at all, instead choosing to run around the sides of the exhibit or just stand around at the exhibit gate.(Though sometimes that message will show up but when you click over to check it out the animal is eating/drinking from the very thing they supposedly couldn't get to.) The animal's inability to reach a certain pile of food or food troughs for absolutely no reason.Artificial Stupidity: Many, in both the original and in the sequel. ![]() This also can be used to move guests with a unmet need near the relevant building they need. ![]() The Marine Mania expansion (and possibly the Dinosaur Digs expansion) adds an option to pick guests up and move them out of your way. ![]() In the first game, sometimes guests wander into your way while trying to build things and you have to wait for them to move, which can actually get tricky because often when they move out of the way more guests will wander into the same spot.Many scenarios in the second game begin with an already established zoo that contains popular - oftentimes endangered - animals that otherwise couldn't be adopted in the beginning of the scenario, but will help attract visitors while you expand the zoo.Aurochs cows in the "Extinct Animals" expansion have a visible udder, but it doesn't have any teats. Animals Lack Attributes: Animals in ZT2 squat to poop, but nearly all have no orifice to poop through (the hippos do have an anal dot for whatever reason).Also in the second game, both male and female okapis have horns.This is particularly odd considering not only did the second game fix most of the Gender Bender errors of the first, but the bongos in the first game were actually correctly sexually dimorphic. In real life, female bongos usually have shorter horns than males. The female bongo antelopes in the second game have horns that are just as long as they males.Also in the first game, female kangaroos are incorrectly just as red as the male ones.In the first game, male and female ostriches look the same, whereas in real life the males are black and the females brownish.A Dog Named "Dog": Arluq, the stranded adolescent orca in one of the sequel's Marine Mania campaigns, is named after the Inuktitut word for "orca".This version later had an enhanced remake titled Ultimate Animal Collection in 2017 containing additional animals from Australia and South America.

The three original games would later be combined in Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection, a compilation which also came with new bonus animals, objects and an additional pack of endangered species. It was followed by a couple of expansion packs which added dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals ( Dinosaur Digs, 2002) as well as marine life ( Marine Mania, 2002) to the mix.

The sixth is suspending any coach for three games who allows an athlete to practice or play in a game when they exhibit symptoms of a concussion.Īuerbach and Waggoner also write that full contact football be abolished below the high school level. The fifth is requiring any player who suffers a suspected concussion to be prohibited from contact practice or games for at least four weeks. On those days, a player would be limited to no more than 20 full contact plays. The fourth is limiting full contact practice to no more than two days during any calendar week for any player. Infractions would result in the same penalties as helmet tackling. The third is the prohibition of forearm blows to an opponent’s head at the line of scrimmage or during blocking or tackling. The second infraction would be the same penalty with the offending player ejected from the rest of that game and the following game. The first infraction would result in a 15-yard penalty and loss of a down. They suggest making that part of the helmet a different color. The second is banning a tackler from using the top of his helmet to intentionally strike any part of an opponent’s body.

Hugo blames Eike for the disappearance of his father due to Eike giving him the stone, thus resulting in Homunculus being freed.

This makes his would be killer change his mind, giving Eike a chance to continue preventing his death.ĭue to the nature of time travel, there are many versions of Eike who originate from alternate timelines, the most common being the version who didn't get the egg letter and the version who did get the egg letter. Going back an hour into the past, Eike succeeds in engineering his survival by convincing the three maidens to be present at the time of his death. Taking over his past body, Eike encounters the mysterious Fortune Teller for the first time and is told of when his death is going to take place, along with a hint of when it will take place. However, Eike eventually agrees and is given the Digipad, before he is returned to a point before his death. At first, Eike is skeptical and ready to reject Homunculus's offer to prevent his death, thinking the latter to be the devil. He awakens however to find himself in Homunculus's realm, where the mysterious being communicates with Eike. While leaving the cafe, Eike is stabbed by an unknown assailant and dies. On 8th of March 2001, Eike eventually explored Lebensbaum again, and entered the local café. During his travels, he took up the name Eike Kusch and apparently lost the stone, though it is likely that his amnesia caused him to forget it at the start of the game.Īt some point, he became friends with Eckart Brum, the owner of a museum, during a previous visit to Lebensbaum, even giving him his phone number.
