Angry birds star wars two2/13/2024 ![]() We imported a piggy Darth Sidious, who used Force lightning to beef up his attack on the Jawas. In one level we played at Comic-Con, we launched Clone Trooper birds at Jawas. The implementation is clever, and will likely make it easier for players to import those characters through home-printed QR codes so they don't have to buy all 32 Angry Birds Star Wars figures.Įach of the game's dozens of levels has a light side and dark side (otherwise known as "the pork side"), a choice that alters each level's layout and throwable characters. A magnifying glass at the bottom of the stand used in the scanning process helped the iPad camera read that miniature QR code during a hands-on session at Comic-Con. Unlike the RFID chip-powered Skylanders and Disney Infinity, Angry Birds Star Wars 2 relies on QR codes to import its characters. Place a Star Wars-themed bird or pig onto a clear plastic stand, position that over the camera lens and they'll teleport into the game. Those characters can also be scanned into the game via the iPad or iPhone camera. Using a slingshot toy, players can launch the little plastic birds at a Star Destroyer play set or battle with Count Dooku. Rovio will sell Telepod Angry Birds toys in sets that promise a playable experience on their own. The characters of Angry Birds Star Wars 2 accent their arcs of destruction with Force powers, spinning lightsaber blades and, in the case of Jar-Jar Binks, a sticky tongue that can snatch throwable objects and then hurl them at enemy pig structures. Like previous Angry Birds games, each strain of bird or pig has its own special skills. Borrowing a page from the Skylanders playbook, the Telepods, as Rovio has branded them, unlock playable characters in Angry Birds Star Wars 2, like pig-shaped versions of Darth Maul and Darth Sidious and angry bird versions of Mace Windu and young Anakin Skywalker. ![]() ![]() The dollar price tag of Angry Birds Star Wars 2 will likely just be the starting point for the game's audience, as developer Rovio will sell Angry Birds Star Wars toys - a new line of plastic figures and play sets - that tie into the game. For the longtime Star Wars fan, the ability to launch Jar-Jar Binks' head as a weapon may provide a catharsis that goes well beyond the $0.99 asking price of Angry Birds Star Wars 2.

List of netflix shows2/13/2024 ![]() Seasons 1 and 2 are based on the life of Pablo Escobar, a drug lord and narcoterrorist from Colombia who founded the Medellin Cartel and amassed wealth by producing and selling cocaine.

The Netflix series has particularly strong appeal to viewers from Mediterranean Europe and Latin America by 2018, becoming the most watched non-English-language series and one of the most popular series overall.

It was originally planned for the series to only consist of two parts. Flashbacks, time jumps, hidden character motivations, and an unreliable narrator are used to add intricacy to the real-time-like narrative. Its Spanish title is La casa de papel, or "The House of Paper." From the viewpoint of one of the thieves, Tokyo (rsula Corberó), the series follows two meticulously planned heists carried out by the Professor (Lvaro Morte), one on the Royal Mint of Spain and the other on the Bank of Spain.

By setting the vertical drive to this “sign” variable, motion in the positive direction will be plotted slightly above the axes and motion in the negative direction will be offset below. V / |v| (Velocity divide by its absolute value) I call this calculated column “sign” and is defined as I do this with a new calculated column that keeps track of whether object is moving in the + or – direction. You can leave the vertical drive blank, but I’ll quickly show you how you can offset left motion from the right motion so motion that turns around doesn’t overlap with itself. The leave foot prints is what leaves a “breadcrumb” trail of this animation. Set the horizontal drive to the position variable (this is name of the position data coming from the detector.) Doing this creates a dot on the display at the current value of the motion detector– and thus it animates the motion seen by the motion detector. Here you can set the horizontal and vertical variables. ![]() Now you want to tell Logger Pro to link the animated point to the data coming from the motion detector. You can adjust how often a foot print is left. Then, you will also want to select “leave foot prints”. ![]() This will open up an options menu.įor scaling the display, you will probably want to select asymmetric coordinate systems so you can set the x (or y) axis to match the range of positions the motion detector will be sensing. Then, on the screen double click the new display that has appeared. To get started, you will need to insert an animated display while you have a motion detector connected. Below is one that I made for a cart given a quick push up a ramp, and then allowed to slow down before speeding back up the other way. ![]() One specific thing it can do is make animated motion diagrams from motion detector data. A lesser known function in Logger Pro is Animated Displays, which can be used to do a variety of things.

Here you’ll see the first of many McDonald’s ads. The nostalgia will drown you, and then you’ll come back as a water ghost who can only haunt using obsolete ad slogans. So if you’ve lived my life, here’s a treat: Every commercial break from the 1985 broadcast of BOTH specials. They were shown back-to-back for so many sequential Halloween seasons that people anywhere near my age will forever associate childhood spooky times with fat cats and fit dogs. Immediately followed by It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, those two specials suddenly became the power couple of Halloween Toontown. I was six years old at the time, and I absolutely watched Garfield’s Halloween Adventure on that night. Getting the 1985 version was extra special, because that was the debut year of Garfield’s Halloween Adventure. I’ve only begun to sort through the goodies, but I already found one of my unholy grails: Halloween specials that aired on CBS back in October of ‘85. With all commercials intact. Schwing. ![]() I need three external hard drives and cake. My buddy Matt let me borrow some tapes that his family recorded back in the mid ‘80s, which is seriously the best thing anyone could let me borrow. ![]() It has molded side handles for easy transport making it easy to move around your yard or patio and it is even sturdy enough to be used as a bench.

Your deck or patio is an important extension of your home. ![]() Thanks for a great product Keter and thanks Home Depot for great customer service! It is also sturdy enough for 2 people to sit on because I tried it. Love this box and I will love it more next summer when I am constantly using and storing my cushions. After a heavy rain, I was unsure if the interior remained dry so I looked and did not find any moisture at all. My cushions now have a dry place on my deck and for the winter it is secured with a padlock. No problems at all as all holes lined up and the picture instructions were easy to follow. One screw driver and 30 minutes later, my deck box was completed even without that 2nd person that the instructions recommended. I unpacked the pieces, sorted them according to part number, made sure all pieces and parts were included, which they were, and I went to work. Not so bad, as the box was not that heavy and it was easy to drag. Next, this 75 year old grandma had to unload it from the trunk and get it onto my back deck. Success! I arrived with absolutely no problems. Together we got the box into the trunk and tied down the lid so it was secure for my 30 mile trip back home. I explained my predicament to the sales person and he called another person to help. I had it shipped to the store which probably wasn't too smart on my part as my Chevrolet Impala just wasn't made to be a truck and my trunk was too short for the box it was shipped in. I measured and remeasured my cushions to make sure I purchased the correct size and after much research, I decided on this box. This is an incredible deck box and exceeds all my expectations! I had been storing my patio cushions in the garage which was very inconvenient so I decided I needed a box. Premiere price2/12/2024 ![]() Resolve and Premiere Pro have the option of exporting individual clips. And even he's migrated completely from Premiere Pro and now is launching a course on DaVinci Resolve. If you've ever watched some tutorials on YouTube, you might've heard the name or watched Sam Kolder's videos. I must, however, say that the training page on Black Magic Design's website has a complete set of tutorials based on each of the workflows, from editing to color-grading. However, Apple Motion and DaVinci Resolve’s Fusion panel can offer great graphic generation options but the community support, meaning the amount of education available on YouTube, is limited, whereas the amount of tutorials you can find for Premiere Pro and After Effects is in a state of abundance. If you’re planning on adding custom graphics to your videos, Premiere Pro and After Effects is the route you should follow. This is, of course, only if you’re versed in the application. If you consider the abilities of Premiere Pro when you can add in the power of After Effects with dynamic links, it outweighs the others. Basic grades, but also masking certain parts of the frame you want to grade differently, tracking them, and creating a look is far better in DaVinci Resolve than in Premiere Pro or Final Cut. DaVinci Resolve just has so much more to offer. In this way, it’s quite ironic that Apple, the founder of ProRes, has a piece of professional software that’s quite limiting in that regard. If you’re shooting ProRes or raw footage, it’s only as good as the color you can get out of it. It’s what the industry uses to grade big films. ColorĪlthough you have great third-party plugins for Final Cut and Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve is the professional staple when color is concerned. What you do with it is add video, audio, text, and effects. You have a timeline, and that’s the focus. The only place where the media and effects come together is during the editing panel, which makes sense. DaVinci Resolve has dedicated panels for media, cutting, editing, color, and effects. Premiere Pro still makes it possible to do color changes while in the editing page, which essentially could deem it useless to switch between. In my opinion, DaVinci Resolve’s panels are the best for getting started and finishing a project. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve have panels for each part of the video production workflow. It’s not needed all the time, but is useful when going through rushes or putting the rough cut together. In my opinion, the way DaVinci Resolve uses it is justified. DaVinci Resolve does have a magnetic timeline when cutting clips in the Cut panel and then goes into a free timeline in the Edit panel. It’s most likely the way Apple likes to have control of how you work with the application and footage, whereas Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve is much more open to your interpretation.įinal Cut’s magnetic timeline is quite troublesome for some, but also the main reason many use the application. You can change it, but the other two import media and keep it in its location by default. The application wants to import all the footage into the library by default, which essentially creates a duplicate of the footage. But, if you don’t make the needed changes before you start editing, your hard drive will fill up quickly. I would say that Final Cut doesn’t intimidate you as much as Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve does when opening it up for the first time. It’s quite impressive to think Final Cut is an Apple-produced piece of software, and DaVinci does this by itself. It’s done in the background if you didn’t uncheck the box during import.ĭaVinci Resolve also has this feature, and it is on par with Final Cut here. Proxies need to be generated, but once that’s done, it’s easy to flip between the raw footage and proxy footage in the timeline.įinal Cut does this almost automatically. Premiere Pro requires the most work before you can actually move around the timeline with ease. But, what differs is the speed at which it does this and if your computer can handle what you’ve given it to process. ![]() ![]() Media is imported, and it’s not hard to get started scrubbing through and moving clips into the position you want. Ease of Use SpeedĮach one of these has a timeline which you edit with. I also consider what each one of these brands stand for, from my personal perspective. Cost is also a factor, so it’s worth knowing what you’ll pay for in the long run, let’s say, for the next 10 years. Hand of fate 2 physical2/12/2024 ![]() He looks like Raistlin but sounds like Sean Pertwee (though what I strongly suspect to be an Australian accent irregularly breaks through the faux-Brit), and while he’s almost avuncular at times, the desire to defeat this smug SOB who quietly revels in your misfortune can become overwhelming. Throughout the game, before and after almost every action you take, he’ll offer a warning, sneering chastisement or grudging respect. There are many things that Hand of Fate does rather well, but the standout is that you spend so much of the game staring at this guy: ![]() They’ll often offer us someone we want to defeat because they’re shown to do terrible things or have a skull for a face, but they very rarely offer us someone we want to defeat purely because they are our rival. Videogames, usually, offer us the canned, meaningless soundbytes of a hundred thousand slain foes, but they don’t often offer us a single, overarching opponent who lets slip irritation or indulges in crowing. ![]() It becomes a true contest, its cards and dice these physical extensions of your will to defeat another lifeform. It’s because having an opponent who voices their frustration and exhilaration as the game goes for or against them makes it seem so much more than it is. The reason I so often want to play boardgames despite having a hard drive full of more videogames than I could ever hope to complete isn’t simply because occasional contact with other human beings is unfortunately necessary in order to remember how to talk. Hand of Fate is a CCG/roguelite in which a masked, magical figure challenges you to play an increasingly deadly card game against him, switching to high-speed, stabby third-person combat whenever you get into a fight. Franz boas and zora neale hurston2/12/2024 One day, however, Hurston dropped the mask, bursting into Boas’s office to ask for “Papa Franz.” Boas’s secretary shot her “a look,” instructing Hurston not to let the paterfamilias hear her call him that. Like those women, she began to think of Boas as a scholarly father, referring to him by a nickname the women never uttered in his presence. ![]() Hurston had been taken into the close-knit group of white women at Barnard College who orbited in the 1920s around the star of Franz Boas. Its theme is Hurston’s fate as a black woman in anthropology, the discipline that refused her a reliable livelihood and erased her from its history. ![]() Telling these stories means excavating legacies of exclusion and erasure.Īmong the manuscripts of Zora Neale Hurston now residing at Yale’s Beinecke Library, there is an account that Hurston drafted for her autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road (1942). Boas and his intellectual network provide a lens to bring into unprecedented focus the global influence of peoples under scientific study-including Native American and Indigenous intellectuals, African American and pan-African scholars, and thinkers of mixed-race and migrant heritage-who used anthropology as a medium to transform modernity. Indeed, the intellectual legacies of this “Boasian Circle” cross disciplines, national boundaries, and hemispheres. The circle of scholars, authors, and intellectuals who shaped, and were shaped by, the anthropologist Franz Boas is wide and varied. AuthorWrite something about yourself.
