Mexican vanilla is quite popular and is registered as one of Mexico's 18 Designations of Origin. ![]() It is a member of the orchid family and is the only one that, unlike other similar flowers, bears fruit. We owe its current name to the Spanish, who decided to call it "vanilla pod," due to its similarity to sword pods. The priests declared it a sacred plant and called it xanath, which eventually came to be known as vanilla. Their bodies were left in a ravine, and an orchid began to grow there, giving off an exquisite aroma after a few days. Unfortunately, they ran into temple priests and were condemned to death for their love. But one day, she escaped with the young man. The princess's father, King Teniztli, confined her to a temple. Legend has it that vanilla was born from the impossible love between the princess Tzacopontziza and the young prince Xcatan-oxga. Before becoming a worldwide gourmet ingredient, the Mayas and Aztecs enjoyed adding vanilla to a cocoa drink reserved for nobles and warriors. Now a super important part of many of our desserts and dishes, vanilla originated in the Totonaca region of Mexico, where Veracruz and Papantla are now.

![]() Generally, the game requires the player to visit ever-deeper sections of the game in order to find exotic materials, technology to scan, and complete objectives. Alongside raw materials, finding new crafting recipes is a major reason to explore. The player learns new recipes by scanning scraps of technology or recovering databoxes, which are strewn across the game world. Inside a habitat, the player can also craft living amenities such as beds or coffee tables, although these are purely cosmetic since the game does not track fatigue.Įach piece of equipment that can be crafted has its own recipe and the player begins the game knowing only a handful of recipes. Habitat structures provide shelter, storage for equipment and collected materials, and crafting stations. Each of these has its own recipe, and some ingredients can only be found in the far-flung and deeper corners of the game world. To survive and complete objectives, player must collect raw materials from the environment and craft equipment, vehicles, shelters, and food. Players collect resources, construct tools, build bases and submersibles, and can interact with the planet's wildlife. ![]() Like its predecessor, the player's goal is to explore the environments and survive in an alien environment while also completing objectives to advance the game's plot.

It may be crazy to think, but the suit and value was not always printed in the corner of a playing card. However, despite advances in playing card design, con artists continue to find new ways to cheat at cards. He introduced simple lithographic designs that, beyond providing improved aesthetics, were intended to make the cards more difficult to “mark” by card cheats. This mass production ultimately led the English design to become the standard for playing cards.ĭe La Rue was also the first playing card manufacturer to break the nearly 5 centuries old tradition of using plain backs on playing cards. In the late 19th century, the French designs were remodeled by Charles Goodall and Sons into the graphic symbols or “pips” commonly found on playing cards today.Īround this same time, Thomas De La Rue and the De La Rue printing company further streamlined playing card design in a way that allowed them to increase output and reduce costs. Eager to continue capitalizing on the massive popularity of playing cards, the English began producing their own playing cards. Combining the translations of both the Italian and French designs, they formed the names: Clubs, Hearts, Spades and Diamonds.ĭespite changing the names, these English cards still featured lavish French designs until the import of foreign playing cards was banned in the early 1600’s. As a result, the English began importing French playing cards and eventually adopted the suit names we know today. Right before the start of the 16th century, high taxes on playing cards forced French card makers to relocate their operations to Belgium. The Acorns also became “trèfles” (or clovers or clubs) and the leaves were transformed to “piques” (or pikes or spades). While they kept the Germanic “heart” symbols, the Bells were replaced with “carreaux” or “diamonds”. The French also evolved the German suits to create the first iteration of what would ultimately become the suits we find in standard decks today. This simplified color scheme allowed them to drastically improve production speeds. This imagery was believed to be more indicative of German Life.ĭuring this time, the French also began to insert themselves into the conversation by becoming the first card makers to split a card deck into two colors: red and black. Additionally, as “sword” translates to “spada” in Italian, and “espada” in Spanish, these symbols may have laid the groundwork for the modern suits we know today.Īround the turn of the 15th century, the Germans developed their own suits: Hearts, Bells, Acorns and Leaves. Known as “Latin Suits”, this imagery can still be found on some Italian and Spanish playing cards to this day. Potentially inspired by tarot cards, European card makers began using Swords, Clubs, Cups and Coins as the suit symbols on their playing cards in the 14th century. The Evolution of Playing Card Suits Latin Suits While living in a Swiss monastery, a German monk named Johannes wrote about the burgeoning popularity of playing cards and the variety of card games they were being used for. It wasn’t until the late 14th century that we saw our first recorded account of playing cards being used in the ways we are accustomed to today. However, during this time, they were believed to only be used as ornate gambling pieces for other games like Mahjong or Chess. Some reports suggest they may have surfaced as early as 9th century China during the era of the Tang Dynasty. The exact origin of playing cards is contested by historians to this day. Although they might now be more carefully stored and displayed, and certainly never used to cheat in a game of poker! The Early Days ![]() Even super rare playing cards stem from everything in this article. Today, we explore the facts about how we finally landed on the design that can be found on nearly every deck of cards in the world. Over the last 1,000+ years, playing cards have undergone a significant evolution as various countries have adapted them to feature colors, designs and symbols that best reflect their own unique cultures. Most people don’t realize the amazing amount of history and engineering behind a simple deck of cards. ![]() In June 2016, Walgreens terminated its partnership with Theranos. Although Theranos blood tests were reportedly used on drug trial patients for GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer, both companies stated that there were no active projects with Theranos in October 2015. In 2013, Theranos partnered with Walgreens to offer in-store blood tests at more than 40 locations. After many missed deadlines and questionable results from a trial clinic at Safeway's corporate offices, the deal was terminated in 2015. In 2012 Safeway invested $350 million into retrofitting 800 locations with clinics that would offer in-store blood tests. The company's original name was "Real-Time Cures", which Holmes changed after deciding that too many people were skeptical of the word "cure". Holmes dropped out of Stanford in 2003 and used the education trust from her parents to found the company that would later be called Theranos, derived from a combination of the words "therapy" and "diagnosis". She started developing lab-on-a-chip technology for blood tests, with the idea to start a company that would make blood tests cheaper, more convenient and accessible to consumers. While at Stanford University, Elizabeth Holmes had an idea to develop a wearable patch that could adjust the dosage of drug delivery and notify doctors of variables in patients' blood. Balwani was convicted on all 12 counts brought against him in July 2022, and in December 2022 was sentenced to 12 years and 11 months in prison and 3 years of probation. Holmes and Balwani were also charged with wire fraud and conspiracy, with Holmes being found guilty on four counts in January 2022 and sentenced that November to 11 years and 3 months in prison. Theranos, Holmes and former company president Sunny Balwani were charged with fraud by the SEC in 2018. ![]() After several years of struggle, lawsuits, and sanctions from CMS, what remained of the company was dissolved on September 4, 2018. ![]() By June 2016, Forbes estimated that Holmes's personal net worth had dropped from $4.5 billion to "nothing".

The company faced a string of legal and commercial challenges from medical authorities, investors, the U.S. Ī turning point came in 2015, when medical research professor John Ioannidis, and later professor of clinical biochemistry Eleftherios Diamandis, along with investigative journalist John Carreyrou of The Wall Street Journal, questioned the validity of Theranos's technology. These claims were later proven to be false. The company claimed that it had devised blood tests that required very small amounts of blood and that could be performed rapidly and accurately, all using compact automated devices which the company had developed. Founded in 2003 by then 19-year-old Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos raised more than US$700 million from venture capitalists and private investors, resulting in a $10 billion valuation at its peak in 20. oʊ s/) was an American privately held corporation that was touted as a breakthrough health technology company. ![]() at the Wayback Machine (archived August 28, 2018) The test is made when protection is calculated. ![]() With only a short time left before release, please take the.

The last one (2nd for ECS basic vector, 4th for town, 1st for wood, machinery and others) But FIRS still being under active development was what moved me to switch to it entirely and use it as my everyday industry set.> George, which parameter needs to be set to 7? If I set the second parameter (parameter 1) to 7 it works as advertised. They're different sets, each with its own style and features, they're both very high quality sets, so they're both very good on their own account. I find the appeal of ECS to be its challenge, and that of FIRS its variety (though FIRS is certainly challenging as well). It has plenty of variety too, though I believe Full FIRS economy has the most (which can be a good thing or a. Each of the ECS vectors have that option separately, so in theory you can choose which industries you dont want a stockpile limit on. It will still show it has a limit, but you can go higher than it without a problem. With that said, ECS is still very much usable, I haven't had any noteworthy issues with vehicle set compatibility so far, and it's a great pick if you enjoy its challenge and features. There is also a setting, where the stockpile limits are disabled. ![]() That, and I'll admit ECS's gimmicks can become a little tiring after a very long time of playing with them (though IIRC you can turn off some of them, but still). If you intend to use Georges Extended Cargo Set (ECS), then you must include the file f in your newgrf folder and list it in. I've played with ECS for the longest time, but eventually I made the switch to FIRS because of its active development and frequent updating (not just for the new features, but also for the highest reliability in terms of compatibility with other current sets and newest OTTD features).
