Recently viewed, grading system.

Every item in our inventory has been inspected, very strictly graded, and bagged for its protection.

Shrink Wrapped. Still in the original factory shrink wrap, with condition visible through shrink noted. For example, "SW (NM)" means shrink wrapped in near-mint condition.

Perfect. Brand new.

Near Mint. Like new with only the slightest wear, many times indistinguishable from a Mint item. Close to perfect, very collectible. Board & war games in this condition will show very little to no wear and are considered to be punched unless the condition note says unpunched.

Excellent. Lightly used, but almost like new. May show very small spine creases or slight corner wear. Absolutely no tears and no marks, a collectible condition.

Very Good. Used. May have medium-sized creases, corner dings, minor tears or scuff marks, small stains, etc. Complete and very useable.

Very well used, but complete and useable. May have flaws such as tears, pen marks or highlighting, large creases, stains, marks, etc.

• Boxed items are listed as "code/code" where the first code represents the box, and the second code describes the contents. When only one condition is listed, then the box and contents are in the same condition.
• A "plus" sign indicates that an item is close to the next highest condition. Example, EX+ is an item between Excellent and Near Mint condition. A "minus" sign indicates the opposite.
• Major defects and/or missing components are noted separately.
• Boardgame counters are punched, unless noted. Due to the nature of loose counters, if a game is unplayable it may be returned for a refund of the purchase price.
• In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice.
• The cardboard backing of miniature packs is not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "card worn."
• Flat trays for SPI games are not graded, and have the usual problems. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "tray worn."
• Remainder Mark - A remainder mark is usually a small black line or dot written with a felt tip pen or Sharpie on the top, bottom, side page edges and sometimes on the UPC symbol on the back of the book. Publishers use these marks when books are returned to them.

Assessing conservation strategies using camera traps 

Snapshot safari generates millions of images that provide data needed to identify successful management practices..

To address the urgent need for more accurate assessments of wildlife populations, the University of Minnesota Lion Center has deployed an unprecedented network of camera trap grids in dozens of wildlife parks and reserves in Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania and Zimbabwe as part of the Snapshot Safari project. Some of the participating parks are managed as conservancies, some are privately owned, and some are government-run. With the help of accurate camera-trap censuses, we will be able to identify which sites are being managed most successfully — and hence, which conservation strategies should be incorporated into the toolbox for effective wildlife management.

Snapshot Safari looks to citizen scientists from around the world to identify wildlife caught on camera. With millions of images ready to be classified, participants have the opportunity to search for wildlife in remarkable ecosystems as Mozambique’s Niassa Reserve, Tanzania’s Ruaha National Park, Swaziland’s Mlawula Reserve, and Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. We are working with conservation groups across Africa to use this data to ensure the protection and proliferation of African mammals.

Once classified and validated, the camera-trap data will be made available for scientific and educational purposes throughout the world. Snapshot Safari will enable researchers to closely examine questions of species coexistence, competition, trophic interactions, and other ecological relationships across a variety of habitat types, community compositions, and management strategies. The results will contribute to the development and refinement of important methods to conserve some of the most beloved species and ecosystems on our planet.

Ready to help us protect lions, elephants, rhinos, and all the beautiful wildlife of Africa? Jump over to Snapshot Safari  and get started!”

Harnessing Citizen Science to Help Large African Mammals

  Climate change looms over the planet, causing unprecedented extinction rates and degradation. This is especially true for large mammals who have been pushed into ever smaller areas because of human expansion and are becoming less compatible with their environments as the planet warms. Some large African mammals are shifting northward or moving up mountains while trying to stay within their own evolutionary ranges.

Conservationists are working to help these mammals survive and thrive, but in order to assess the efficacy of their efforts, they need the kind of big picture data that comes from large-scale monitoring programs, which can provide insights in population trends over vast distances and help identify factors associated with altering population dynamics. This kind of monitoring can also detect the increase of potentially invasive species and track the trends of common species which, in some regions, are declining even more rapidly than rare species.

Most places don’t have baseline data that can be used for comparisons as Earth warms and wild populations are increasingly stressed by environmental conditions caused by humans. Gathering this kind of data requires standardized, reliable, and effective technical infrastructure and hours of labor from a dedicated workforce, which is the idea behind Snapshot Safari , created by Sarah Huebner, a researcher at the University of Minnesota Lion Center.

“We're trying to build a new model of collaboration and inclusion in which ecologists, wildlife managers, citizen scientists, data scientists, local community members, and other conservationists work together to conserve and restore African mammals,” said Huebner.

From Snapshot Serengeti to Snapshot Safari

Huebner was a graduate student when she first joined the Lion Center, working with the center’s founder Craig Packer, who had already launched a program called Snapshot Serengeti to monitor animals in Serengeti National Park. Huebner, with Packer’s encouragement, was interested in trying to expand his program and collect data from four or five other national parks.

“We were very successful in recruitment,” said Huebner. “We very quickly went from one grid of cameras all the way up to more than 50 now.”

Snapshot Safari works thanks to camera traps, a holdover term from the days when conservationists had to literally trap animals to study them. Now, however, researchers can rely on camera “traps,” motion-activated and heat-activated battery-operated cameras that, when activated, take three pictures, often capturing a wild animal. This method allows for the collection of data for the entire wildlife community all day long through all seasons.

“We have about 2,000 cameras out in the field across these different sites, and we’re generating around three million images a year,” Huebner said. “We get a lot of great data. But we’re a fairly small research team. That’s where citizen science comes in.”

Calling all Citizen Scientists

Snapshot Safari is hosted on Zooniverse, the world’s largest and most popular platform for people-powered research. More than a million volunteers currently lend their time, passion, and expertise to Zooniverse, including Snapshot Safari, where they help researchers extract a lot of data by providing details about the animals captured on camera. This crowdsourced data allows researchers to more quickly understand the current state of different species.

“Involving volunteers has been really rewarding because we’ve been able to connect with some people who are very passionate about biology,” said Huebner. “We’ve had volunteers who’ve spotted unusual things, like leopards or hyenas outside of their known ranges or animals moving northward and behaving in ways that we don’t expect to see.”

Over 20 Million Images to Date

Snapshot Safari has been running continuously for five years and captured over 20 million images to date showing the presence, distribution, diversity, and activity patterns of approximately 85 medium to large-sized mammals in six African nations. Thanks to the diligent work of the citizen scientists, these images are well-labeled and the data they provide have been used by researchers in numerous studies, exploring topics such as predator coexistence or the distribution of various species of mongooses in South Africa.

This data is also significant for conservation managers who previously received numbers once a year in an annual game count. They can use the data to see if animals are successfully reproducing and, if not, they can make adjustments, such as providing additional resources like food for certain species.

One ongoing effort focuses on Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, which lost 90 percent of its large mammal populations during a civil war. This park is now striving for ecological rebirth through a large-scale conservation and restoration initiative. Snapshot Safari is providing these scientists with constantly updated feedback on their efforts.

This work also advances machine learning as images, thoroughly labeled by volunteers, are used for training artificial intelligence. These data sets are included in an open access digital library Huebner co-founded called the Labeled Information Library of Alexandria so they can be used for further machine learning.

Ongoing and Evolving Research Program

“Snapshot Safari is an ongoing research program, and we fully intend to keep the cameras running as long as possible,” said Huebner.

Future cameras will include additional features, such as sensors that can hear animals that may be too shy to go in front of the cameras or weather sensors that can provide a fuller picture of what’s happening. Huebner and her colleagues are also working on pioneering a new type of project in which volunteers trace elephants’ ears to help identify individual elephants so that researchers can follow individuals throughout their lives. These traces will be fed to a machine learning model to train it to recognize and tag the same elephant in future images.

“The human-in-the-loop strategy we're employing at Zooniverse combines machine learning and volunteer effort in a variety of workflows to maximize both efficiency and accuracy in producing high-quality, research-ready data.”

About the Researcher

Sarah Huebner holds a PhD in Wildlife Ecology and Management from the Conservation Sciences Graduate Program at the University of Minnesota. Her research interests include long-term monitoring to safeguard African ecosystems, species, and genetic diversity; practical aspects of restoration ecology and repairing degraded ecosystems; cascading effects of reintroducing extirpated species; and citizen science and machine learning for processing big data and involving the public in meaningful research experiences.

• Contains map of component id to component value

New Item Stack Components

Minecraft:item_name.

• When present, replaces default item name with contained chat component
• item_name can't be changed or removed in anvil
• item_name is not styled with italics when displayed to player
• item_name does not show labels where applicable (for example: banner markers, names in item frames)

minecraft:ominous_bottle_amplifier

• Controls the amplifier amount for an Ominous Bottle's bad omen effect
• e.g. ominous_bottle_amplifier=3

Loot Functions

• if omitted, all components present are included
• if omitted, defaults to empty
• Only components that are included (explicitly or implicitly) but not excluded will be copied

• custom_name - sets custom_name component (default)
• item_name - sets item_name component

Added set_ominous_bottle_amplifier

80-year-old American tourist killed in elephant attack during game drive in Zambia

• Copy Link copied

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — A bull elephant charged a truck that an 80-year-old American was riding in with other tourists on a game drive in a Zambian national park, flipping over the vehicle and killing her, a safari company said.

The attack injured five others on March 30 in the vast Kafue National Park , which covers 22,400 square kilometers (8,600 square miles) and is one of Africa’s largest animal reserves.

According to the safari company Wilderness, the “aggressive” bull elephant unexpectedly charged at the truck, which was carrying six guests and a guide on a morning excursion through wild areas.

It wasn’t clear what upset the bull. But in a video widely circulated online, the pachyderm is seen menacingly charging through the bushy terrain toward the tourists’ vehicle. A man is heard shouting “hey hey hey,” in apparent but futile efforts to scare it away. It reaches the truck and flips it over using its trunk.

Another female tourist was seriously injured and flown by helicopter to South Africa for treatment while the rest were treated for minor injuries, the company said.

“This is a devastating incident for everyone involved and we are doing our best to support the family and all affected,” Tarryn Gibson, the safari company’s head of communications told The Associated Press on Thursday. Gibson did not identify the tourist who was killed, and said her family wished for privacy. The company also asked people to not share the video of the attack online.

While many wildlife parks in southern Africa teem with dangerous animals like elephants and lions, such incidents are rare, although they sometimes do occur with fatal consequences due to the unpredictability of wild animals.

Keith Vincent, chief executive officer of the safari company, said rough terrain minimized chances of an escape.

“Our guides are all extremely well trained and experienced, but sadly in this instance the terrain and vegetation was such that the guide’s route became blocked and he could not move the vehicle out of harm’s way quickly enough” he said.

76ers' Joel Embiid Jokes About Weight Gain Following Return

Joel Embiid discussed getting ready to play games after the Philadelphia 76ers' recent win.

• Author: Kevin McCormick

In this story:

One of the biggest stories in the NBA this week was the return of Joel Embiid. After being sidelined with a knee injury since January 30th, the reigning MVP was back in action against the OKC Thunder.

With their star player back in the lineup, the Sixers were able to hold on and beat the shorthanded Thunder 109-105. Embiid ended up playing 29 minutes in his first game back, and did a little bit of everything. He finished with a stat line of 24 points, six rebounds, seven assists, and three steals.

Being out for so long, the main thing many were curious to see from Embiid was where he was at physically. While he certainly looked fatigued at times, the All-Star center appears to be in relatively good shape.

During his media availability postgame, Embiid was asked about where he feels he’s at from a physical standpoint. In typical fashion, he decided to have some fun with the situation. Embiid jokingly said that he gained 50 pounds while he was out, and even went as far as to call himself fat.

“I gained 50 pounds,” Embiid said jokingly. “I gained a lot of weight, so I’m pretty fat right now, but it’s okay. I’ll get back to myself. My face still looks skinny.”

On a slightly more serious note, Embiid elaborated on his journey getting back into game shape.

“It’s hard," he added. "Any time you’re not playing, it’s impossible to get in shape. It doesn’t matter what you do. I’ve done stuff the last three days … I thought there was a chance I could do better and then you get in the game and it’s totally different. That’s the best way to get in shape. That’s how I’ve always done it. I’m excited to keep pushing myself and hopefully I get to where I want to be.”

Embiid returned to action on Thursday night against the Miami Heat. He looked slightly better as he posted 29 points, four rebounds, and three assists in 33 minutes of action. For the second game in a row, the Sixers picked up a victory.

Embiid’s return is great news for the Sixers, but they have minimal time to get themselves acclimated before the postseason gets set to begin. After the matchups with OKC and Miami, they have only five games remaining on the schedule. All of these games are crucial as the Sixers still find themselves battling for playoff positioning in the final two weeks of the year.
