![]() The museum houses a lot of really cool exhibits as well, so being able to go for free is a huge plus. There are some shows that you have to pay for, but just to walk through the museum area, you do not have to pay anything. Like I said before, admission is entirely free for the observatory. It is not uncommon to have a mile walk to get to the observatory if you go during a busy time, so be prepared and bring your walking shoes. As one of LA’s biggest attractions, it will fill up the small lot very fast as the day winds to a close. Parking can also be difficult, depending on what time you go. From the 5 Freeway, I imagine it is a lot easier to get to, just like the old la zoo. We came from down by Amoeba, and it took us around 25 minutes to go the four miles to the top of the hill. Just like anything in LA, getting there can be a long haul, depending on how close you are to Hollywood. On that day, the Griffith Trust transferred ownership of the building to the City of Los Angeles. The dedication and formal opening of Griffith Observatory took place amid much fanfare on May 14, 1935. On December 12, 1912, he offered the City of Los Angeles $100,000 for an observatory to be built on the top of Mount Hollywood to be fully owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles. ![]() On December 16, 1896, he donated 3,015 acres of Rancho Los Felis to the City of Los Angeles to create a public park in his name. The land stayed in the Felis family for over a century, being subdivided through generations, until Griffith, a wealthy mining speculator, purchased what remained of the Rancho in 1882. The Spanish Governor of California bequeathed it to Corporal Vincente Felis in the 1770s. ![]() The land on which Griffith Observatory sits was once a part of a Spanish settlement known as Rancho Los Felis. The observatory is also a remarkable place to have a picnic or to begin a new love for astronomy. Not only is it one of the best observatories in the United States, but it is entirely free, surrounded by hiking trails, and it even allows the visitor to see through one of the smaller telescopes during select nights. One of my favorite places to visit and view to see in all of Los Angeles is that of the Griffith Observatory. ![]()

![]() The mod isn't just for cooperative play, either Seamless Co-op lets the host enable PvP and customize teams, so you can use it to have 2v2 battles if you want. An update in early July, for example, let players drop sorceries, incantations, and weapon upgrade materials for their co-op buddies, which you couldn't share before. Since the mod's release in May 2022, it's been updated a few times to fix bugs and add additional features. Seamless Co-op makes Elden Ring less of a multiplayer game but more of a dedicated co-op game, but if you want to play through the whole thing with a partner, it's the right tool for the job. You'll no longer be able to be invaded by other players, so it's definitely an easier way to play, though the mod does introduce a few new challenges to mitigate this. ![]() You share world progress, so everything you do sticks.īecause of the way the mod enables these things, it changes some other aspects of the game. If you die, you stay connected to the multiplayer session. Seamless Co-op does away with multiplayer zone restrictions and fog walls, lets you ride Torrent, and more. "With this, it's theoretically possible to play the game from the tutorial up to the final boss completely in one co-op session." "Simply put, the mod allows you to play with friends throughout the entirety of the game with no restrictions," says the Nexusmods description. Seamless Co-op changes all of these things. The most frustrating limitation is that you can't ride Torrent, the spectral steed, when another player is in your game. You also can't enter caves and dungeons from the overworld with a summoned player present and have to re-summon once you enter the new area. When you defeat an area boss, for example, the player you summoned is automatically returned to their own game world. Elden Ring wasn't designed to be played co-op from beginning to end: like FromSoft's earlier games, it was meant to be more of a drop-in experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() Later, at night, they fall into a conundrum about how they’ll sleep. Kate tells Mike to give Simone his shirt to cover her up. Simone tells them that she is an actress who has been given this role to ad lib with them while living with them inside. To their surprise, the next treat happens to be a woman called Simone (Ashley Greene) who enters the room completely naked, which frustrates Kate. Day by day, he starts getting more and more paranoid which is why Kate tells him to ask for another treat. Later, she mentions to Mike how difficult her life was made by the same alcoholic father. Mike’s sister speaks with him with a peppy freshness but when Kate receives a call from her father, she runs away since she does not wish to see or listen to him speak. They see video recordings of their family members speaking to them about their experience inside. Meanwhile, they are told that they are not allowed to keep it in their wardrobe which is why they throw it under their bed. Mike mentions how it would be placed just to mess up with their heads. After a few days, they find a gun lying on their bathroom basin, which scares Kate. They have a fight where he speaks about his interest in this different style while she criticizes him saying how it’s not that he doesn’t want to draw lifelike pictures, but that he can’t. ![]() She wants it to be lifelike while he prefers the style of cubism. He receives a green crayon and since he is an artist, he starts drawing with it on the white walls. Later, getting bored by the mundane life inside, he decides to take a treat that costs him $100,000. They have a fight on ethical terms similar to how it always happens – on the basis of cruelty in non-vegetarian intake, fad about the vegan lifestyle – in relation to their social positions outside. That initiates a conversation with them about veganism and how she endorses cruelty since she eats non-vegetarian food. Kate stops him from leaving after which the insect gets crushed under her foot. But if he decides to open the doors, it would be considered as him leaving the space, which would disqualify him and bring down their prize money to $1 million. The mundane regularity makes Mike even speak with an insect and asks whether he can let go of an insect. While on the following days, Kate also struggles to maintain her sanity, she overcomes her lapses in one way or the other and does not let it show on the surface. Through his tantrums, Kate keeps reminding him to focus on the prize money more than anything else. By the next day, the isolation starts getting to Mike, who starts weaving some conspiracy theories about the experiment. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These Cichlids are aggressive and territorial, so it would be best to house these cichlids in an aquarium with lots of space for them to claim and plenty of places to hide. Mbuna Cichlids are among the most colorful of all the freshwater fish species that can be kept in the home aquarium. They are occasionally found in areas with open water as well.

It is important to take your emotions out of the decision-making process.įaced with uncertainty, humans instinctively want to take action in order to be seen to be controlling events and making an effort to influence a situation. Solution: Avoid the risk of being influenced by emotion by having a long-term investing plan, checklists for decision-making and strict buying and selling rules. Optimism and overconfidence can lead to unnecessary and reactive (and expensive) trading, excessive risk-taking and chasing returns. This inherent optimism can be dangerous because it implies that investors may think they have more control over events than they actually do (see Action Bias). Psychologists have found that people tend to underestimate the chances of negative things happening to them and overestimate the chances of positive things happening. Optimism and overconfidence (emotional trading is costly) It’s preferable to keep an open mind and accept that the strengths and weaknesses of a share will inevitably change over time. Solution: Anchoring is dangerous because it means having closely-held beliefs about a company or share, which can ultimately lead to falling in love with it. That is because it arguably causes post-earnings announcement drift, where prices creep higher as investors only slowly accept that an already high price deserves to move higher. The anchor becomes a reference point from which all other decisions are made.Īnchoring is such a powerful force that it’s been credited as a driver of price momentum in markets. Anchoring (over-emphasising certain information)Īnchoring is when decisions are made using too much emphasis on one (usually the first) piece of information. Here are some of the most challenging psychological flaws that affect investors, and ideas on how to avoid them: In the words of the Chinese military philosopher Sun Tzu, who wrote The Art of War: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” In order to avoid these missteps, what you need to do is know what they are, how they can manifest, and how to avoid them. Sudden sell-offs are not the only cause of psychological pain for investors, but they are an extreme example of moments when panic and volatility can lead us to poor choices. Often the reasons will be long forgotten, but you can be sure that emotions were running very high at the time. Look closely at the details of a long-term market chart like the one above, and you could pick out any number of times when equities sold off sharply. Investors have had to navigate a whole host of uncertain moments, some more serious than others. Rather than growth, talk now is about the prospect of recession.Įven though the years since the financial crisis in 2008/09 have been dominated by central bank stimulus, it hasn’t all been plain sailing for shares. With it came a major change in priorities for central banks and a series of sharp interest rate hikes. After more than a decade of apparently stable monetary conditions, inflation roared back up the agenda. The past 18 months in the stock market have asked some tough questions of investors. After that, I’ll explore some of the qualitative and quantitative features in shares that can break an investment from the start. In future articles, I’ll look at some of the external influences – including analyst forecasts, tips, news and internet bulletin boards – that can lead us astray. It starts with a tour of our own psychology and how it plays against us. This week marks the first article in a mini-series looking at some of the things you shouldn’t be doing as an investor, in order to get better results. But when you apply those emotions and behavioural traits to markets, it can end in a mess if you’re not paying attention. Millions of years of evolution has wired our instincts to protect us from harm. When it comes to making good decisions, psychologists have found that investing is a field where humans are surprisingly bad at doing the right thing. In the first of a multi-part series on avoiding investment mistakes, Ben looks at how our own emotions and behaviour can lead to poor decisions, and what we can do about it. ![]() |
