The second features Aquaman and Mera (Amber Heard) exploring the surface world. The first is Aquaman (Jason Momoa) soaking wet and splashing in a wave. Not to say they won't get rid of the helmet anyways. It'd be like changing the joker's color scheme from green/purple to blue/orange.

![]() The boxes will fly-up and hit Oogie on his platform. From there, you swat the boxes that come out on the conveyor belt by hitting the TRIANGLE Button. This will allow you to teleport to his conveyor belt. So you have to wait until the tunnel in front the conveyor belt you're on and the one Oogie Boogie is hovering above, matches. The only thing is that the tunnel you run through will only spit you out of a tunnel with a blue ring around it. When he slides from conveyer belt to conveyor belt, you have to run up to the tunnel in front of the conveyor belt and teleport to the one he's above. Oogie Boogie sits-up on a platform above any one of them at a time. This is one of the more complex boss fights of the game. Proceed into his factory area and you should find Oogie Boogie there, ready to give you your second boss challenge for this world. Head back toward Christmas Town and into Santa's house. It just might take quite a while.Īt this point you will learn that Maleficent has somehow brought Oogie Boogie back to life. If you keep swatting and nailing your hits, he'll come down. When you are ready to go into battle, run up the hill and jump-off the end of the curl toward Prison Keeper. Keep an eye on where Prison Keeper is and keep the hill between you and him. If your HP starts to get low, just run behind the hill in the middle and heal there. The challenge with him is getting up in the air high enough to get to him so you can get some hits in. Prison Keeper is not as hard has he looks. Go to Curly Hill and get ready for a boss battle. You'll notice that they go all the way back to graveyard, and through a gate that you could not pass through before. Follow their footprints back to Halloween Town. You soon realize that there is trouble because here it is quite sinister, and Lock Stock and Barrel have something to do with it. Question though, people's voices changing due to old age (like Mark Hamill) I can understand, but how is that possible for someone's voice to change when they reach adulthood when their voice already changed when they went through puberty during their teen years? My voice got deeper when I was about 14 and my voice has been the same since (I'm in my 20s now).Go into Santa's house and talk to him. I didn't even recognize it was him when he did the voice lines for KH1 because he was so young that his voice for Sora sounded like a 10 year old instead of a 14 year old, which is how old Sora was in the first game. It doesn't make sense to me really, he was about 17 when he did voice lines for KH2 but then in 2008 (where ReCoM was released in NA) his voice is suddenly deeper, he was 20 when he did the lines for ReCoM. I'm so glad he enjoys his role on the same level as James Wood enjoying his role of Disney's Hades.Įver since I played ReCoM and years later when I started the demo for DDD on my old 3DS, I didn't recognize it was the same guy who did Sora's voice for KH2 because of how his voice was deeper. We may never find out though, unless Lea mentions it, because if Yen Sid did bequeath to him I don't think we will ever see it in a flashback or anything, because I suspect Yen Sid's Keyblade is going to be one of those things that we know exists but will never actually see. I think it's fair to say Yen Sid wouldn't bequeath to Lea without assessing the strength of his heart, but I don't think he would have assessed whether Lea could forge a Keyblade without being bequeathed to, because we still don't know whether or not that is even possible, and I personally lean towards no. I wouldn't be surprised if whoever invented the first Keyblade as the only person who ever made one completely on their own. Even the Master of Masters was almost certainly bequeathed to, since he had wielded the Keyblade since he was a child, and was one of many even back then. Sora is the only wielder we know 100% for sure has never been bequeathed to, and he is a special case for literally everything. I guess my question would be whether it's even possible to forge your own without having been bequeathed to. of Baldock (Jackson’s Oxford Journal, April 27, 1811)ġ812 Death – Martha PRYOR, about 68 years old. of Ampthill to Miss Martha Pryor, daughter of John Pryor, esq.

When John wasn’t working, he enjoyed instilling within his children and grandchildren not only to fear and love God but also a passion for the outdoors hunting, fishing, and exploring all that nature offers, but especially he loved fishing at the Enid Spillway or Yocona River bottom with his grandchildren and children. As with many things in life, opportunity presented itself, and he transitioned to a new job at Smith and Nephews in Memphis, TN around 1992 where he continued to master his craft and skill of Tool and Die. ![]() He was honorably discharged in 1972, and then returned to the Navy in 1975 as a machinist and later a Military Police Officer and served until 1977.įor many years he worked at Holly Carburetor as a Tool and Die machinist. In 1971, he married Teresa Wells Pryor of Oxford, MS, and together they raised four children. He served on board the USS SURIBACHI off the coast of Vietnam for 3 years. ![]() In 1969, eager to serve his country during the Vietnam War, he joined the Navy as a Machinist. As a result of his outstanding performances as a high school football player, he received a scholarship to play football at Northwest MS Community College. John is a graduate of Water Valley High School where he gained accolades as an outstanding football player. John was born on 20 September 1948 to the late William Everette and Myrtle Irene Hayles Pryor.

In Somalia, the hardest hit are internally displaced people who are already in dire need of humanitarian assistance after fleeing drought and conflict-stricken areas. Floods have washed away entire villages, wiping out homes, farmlands, and the critical infrastructure necessary to support a swift recovery and movement of people, goods, and much-needed humanitarian aid. “What we are witnessing in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia is yet another devastating blow to an already fragile humanitarian situation. ![]() Mercy Corps Regional Director for Africa, Melaku Yirga, says: In 2022 alone, 32.6 million new disaster displacements were registered worldwide, notably due to floods (59%) and storms (31%). ![]() Devastating floods have already killed hundreds and displaced more than 2 million people, including over 1 million in Somalia, 600,000 in Ethiopia, and 460,000 in Kenya.Īccording to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, an average of 26 million new displacements have been recorded globally each year from 2018 to 2022 due to the impact of various climate disasters.

Ideally, with optimal blood sugar balance people should be able to eat three meals a day without snacks. I’d say try them together, see how you do–if it doesn’t seem to work, space them out. I do believe in going with our guts and listening to how we feel. How do you feel when you eat the smoothie with the meal? I don’t really believe in the food combining theories, most isn’t backed with science. If you are still experiencing such severe symptoms I would definitely want to make sure you were working with a good doc □ I know a lot of people have experienced successes and need less medication with AIP, but others still need to have that piece of the puzzle figured out. Have you found a doctor to help read your labs and medicate you if needed? A lot of us with Hashi’s (myself included) need some thyroid replacement hormone in addition to diet and lifestyle changes to feel our best. Add 4 tablespoons of Great Lakes Gelatin to the blender, and blend again until smooth. Remove the lid, and allow the mixture to cool slightly. I like to make this smoothie with some greens and spinach to add some antioxidants, and you can easily substitute for different varieties of greens or frozen fruit that you have on hand. Place lemon juice and blueberries into a high speed blender, or food processor, and blend until smooth. While I recommend homemade bone brothas the best source for getting gut healing nutrients like gelatin and collagen into your diet (along with important minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus), adding some collagen is definitely going to turn a otherwise sugar-laden smoothie into something a little more nutritious. That being said, I do think it is possible to make a nutrient-dense smoothie that could be a solution to a last-minute snack or an occasional quick breakfast (read: not every day!) with the addition of coconut concentrate to add some fat (sub with avocado if you are sensitive to coconut) and some collagen powderto add some gut-healing amino acids (don’t try this with gelatin, which is only soluble in hot water). The truth is, there is no complete protein powder that is compatible with the Autoimmune Protocol, and having smoothies without protein or fat is not advisable either–a lot of us are looking to balance our blood sugar, and a high-glycemic smoothie first thing in the morning is certainly not setting us up for success the rest of the day. I know a lot of you are struggling with quick meal ideas for when you need to be on-the-go and I get asked all the time if there is a protein powder that is acceptable on the Autoimmune Protocolor if smoothies are ok for breakfast.

And the first-gen Oculus Rift had the best run of all, making the trip in and out of my closet fairly regularly from 2016 until the Quest and Rift S released last year-and on the day I finally retired my original Rift, I celebrated, because I no longer needed to use four different USB ports for a single VR headset. That, in turn, stayed on my desk until the Index arrived last year. The original Vive lasted two years until the Vive Pro came along. With such a limited hardware pool, you can trust that I’ve gotten a lot of use out of our VR headsets. But I’ve been covering VR since the early days, when all you could buy was the original Oculus Developer Kit. I might put a keyboard through its paces for a few weeks, for instance. Whenever we review products at PCWorld, we use them for some period of time. Hell, the $649 HP Reverb (the top-tier Windows MR headset at the moment) costs more than either the Quest or Rift S, and provides a lesser experience. It’s a lesser experience though, and given how much prices have come down for the Oculus Quest and Rift S, the Windows MR headsets no longer seem like as much of a bargain. This works fine if you’re holding your hand out where the cameras can see, but the tracking is easily broken by any number of everyday actions: Hand behind your head, hands down at your sides, and so on.Ĭan you deal with it? Sure, and if it’s your first VR experience you probably won’t know any better. ![]() All of the Windows MR headsets are restricted to two front-facing cameras for tracking. Windows MR was the first platform to mount cameras on the headset to track both the player’s position and the controllers.īeing first out of the gate has drawbacks though. Just know that you’re signing up for a compromised experience. They are really cheap though, which might make you wonder: Is this a good place to get into VR? If it’s your only option, sure, go for it. The consumer-focused Windows Mixed Reality headsets by companies like Acer, Dell, and HP don’t really do anything more than the rest of the competition. ![]() I know, it’s confusing, but Microsoft’s AR tech is still confined to HoloLens, which targets enterprise use cases. Or that’s how Microsoft pitched it, at least.īut really, all of the “MR” headsets are just VR headsets. Combine virtual reality (VR) with augmented reality (AR) and you get…Mixed Reality, or MR. What about Windows Mixed Reality?Ī few years ago Microsoft decided it was also going to get into VR-or rather, into all of the Rs. You might be able to get in on-the-cheap if you’re lucky. A lot of people are dumping their old Vive and Rift hardware to upgrade to the Quest, Rift S, and Index. Again, I find it hard to recommend the Rift S personally, but that’s only in comparison to its more capable cousin.Īnd now’s your chance, really. That said, if you’re really, absolutely, totally certain you’ll never want to use your VR headset away from your PC? Oculus’s Rift S is a perfectly serviceable fallback. ![]() Even before Link, I would’ve probably recommended Quest to most people over one of the tethered headsets. But it’s good enough, and you’re essentially getting two headsets for the price of one. Sure, there’s some image compression when you use Link, and Quest’s tracking isn’t quite as good as Oculus’s tethered alternative, the Oculus Rift S. The Quest/Link combo feels like magic though, enabling you to play top-tier VR games like Half-Life: Alyx and Lone Echo (and my favorite Google Earth VR) when you have a PC handy, and then return to your carefree wireless life when you’re done. And as an added benefit, the Oculus Link Cable allows you to turn Quest into a full-fledged PC headset to rival the Oculus Rift.

This concept inspired authors and artists, including the famous author Gabriel García Márquez, author of Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). Roh’s book was soon translated into Spanish, which resulted in the magical realism movement catapulting in South America. Like many art movements, it is subject to interpretation, and magical realism today has transformed beyond Roh’s original definition. The magical nature of the real, normal world: how normal objects can sometimes take on fantastic appearancesĪs you can see, the second does not quite align with our previous definition.Realism’s accurate detail and photographic clarity.“magischer realismus” was first coined 1925 by art critic Franz Roh in his book Nach Expressionismus: Magischer Realismus (After Expressionism: Magical Realism).įranz Roh emphasizes in his book that magical realism paintings must contain these elements: Magical Realism has its roots in Germany and Italy in the early 1900s. How did magical realism painting first come to be? Most art movements have tenuous, debatable origins, but magical realism has definite sparks that ignited the movement. Some scholars use the term magical realism to mean low fantasy. Magical realism is low fantasy: it takes motifs and settings we recognize in reality and adds surreal, fantastical motifs. Low fantasy is Harry Potter - it’s set in the real world, but there are magical elements that elevate, distort, and transform what we’re familiar with. Nothing is familiar, and everything is a new invention. It has entirely new races, languages, histories, and magic. ![]() High fantasy is The Lord of the Rings - it does not take place on Earth. Think of magical realism painting as the difference between low fantasy in literature. In short, magical realism must contain magical elements that transform a realistic setting. They are not purely fantastical or unreal like fantasy. They are not illustrations of history, legend, or myth like fabulism or symbolism. Magical realism paintings or literature do not address the inexpressible, immaterial psyche in the way surrealism does. It’s important to note that while those artistic movements and methods may inform magical realist painters’ work, magical realism does not fit perfectly into these boxes. Many art lovers conflate magical realism with the works of the 20th century Surrealists or 19th century pictorial Symbolists, general surrealism, fabulism, or pure fantasy. We invite you to explore this incredible art genre with us and come away inspired. We’ll explore the breathtaking artwork of Michael Parkes and Rob Gonsalves, whose artwork we are so fortunate to feature in our South Lake Tahoe gallery. In this article, we’ll explore the core concepts that define magical realism paintings and literature.

At first, Heihachi suspected that Kazuya was responsible for the intrusion but realized that Kazuya was just as bewildered by the sudden attack. A group of Jack-4s crashed through the ceiling. The roar of the aircraft increased and the sound of something being ejected was heard. The silence was soon interrupted by approaching aircraft. The sounds of battle gave way to silence as Heihachi lay spread out on the ground. "Thank my mother, Jun Kazama." Jin said as he took flight. Filled with anger, his black wings spread, Just as Heihachi thought he was doomed, Jin regained control of himself. The battle between Heihachi and Jin began.

As of July 2009, Tekken 5 has sold around 6 million copies.Īfter the conclusion of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, an intense battle between father and son, Kazuya and Jin, took place at Hon-Maru in the Mishima Zaibatsu headquarters. The game's critical praise was matched with commercial success. The graphics in Tekken 5 are sometimes referred to as the best on the Playstation 2 platform. Tekken 5 also has a score of 89% on Wazap. Tekken 5 has a score of 89% on Game Rankings and a score of 88% on Metacritic. Among these positive responses are the reviews from GameSpot and IGN, which gave Tekken 5 a 9.2/10 and 9.3/10 respectively. Tekken 5 was met with mainly positive critical response. Main article: Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Reception The game also recolored the main outfits of most of the characters, and the game's final boss, Jinpachi Mishima, received a new design, giving him a flame-like appearance, with a horn protruding from his head. In addition to this, the game featured new moves, as well as modifications to some older moves, in order to balance out the characters more, new customization items, new stages, and new pre-fight and win animations, as well as some camera angle modifications to some older ones. Eddy Gordo also received his own character box, rather than just sharing a character box with Christie Monteiro. It added two new characters, Emily "Lili" Rochefort and Sergei Dragunov, and it also added a returning older character, Armor King. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is an upgraded version of Tekken 5. Various tech catches (for example, Wang Jinrei's WS+4, d+3, 4 on an opponent that quick recovers) were removed. The character health bars for this game sported a different colour compared to the health bars on the original Tekken 5. It also tweaked the damage properties for ground moves, instead of ground moves doing 100% damage, they now only inflicted 70% damage. It contained various balance changes to characters of the original game. Tekken 5.1 was a minor upgrade patch of the original Tekken 5 that was not released on consoles and instead, was only on arcades. The game features 32 playable characters, the fourth largest amount of playable characters in a Tekken game, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection has 35 characters, the third largest amount, Tekken Tag Tournament has 39 characters, the second largest amount and Tekken 6 has 40 characters, the largest amount (42 in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, which will also be in place of Tekken 6 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3) The game is credited for taking the series back to its roots.

Then, to make matters worse, the film’s lead actor, Mathieu Kassovitz, who was on the Cannes jury, announced with his customary tact that if it had been up to him, not only would the film have been in competition at Cannes, it would also have taken home the Palme d’Or! In May, as the paradise for artists and intellectuals that is Cannes unfolded in its auteurist ghetto and as France belatedly discovered the subtleties of reality TV with the broadcast of Loft Story (France’s equivalent to Big Brother), the country only had eyes for Amélie.Ī Boquet of Grief and Sex By Phillip Lopateīack from Cannes, exhausted but pleased with the high standard of the festival’s lineup, I convinced my Inrockuptibles colleague Serge Kaganski to go with me to see Amélie, at a regular theater with a regular audience. All of which led to one big question, which quickly flared into a controversy: why wasn’t Amélie representing France at the Cannes Film Festival? Extremely embarrassed by the scale of the phenomenon, the Festival directors let it be known through a press leak that the selection committee had seen only a workprint without music, and thus were unable to appreciate the film’s true worth. When Amélie was released in late April of this year, even serious newspapers like Libération and Le Monde discreetly took part in the general euphoria. Our film industry is breathing a collective sigh of relief: we’ve got a hit! The miracle began with the first press screenings: everyone loved it, and even the most hardened critics applauded enthusiastically as they wept for joy. Right from the start Le Fabuleux destin d’ Amélie Poulain, or Amélie as it's now called in the U.S., was a runaway hit in France-the film has managed to sell seven and a half million tickets, which translates into roughly $40 million at the box office, a sum rarely achieved by French films at home. ![]() ![]() By Frédéric Bonnaud in the November-December 2001 Issue |
