![]() The basic gist of the games is this: eat everything you can before you die. In addition to the inexorable, endless march of time depleting your life meter, obstacles and hazards like mines, police officers, jellyfish, and other sharks all want to end your feeding frenzy before it even starts. The gameplay is frenetic, requiring quick reflexes and twitch reactions to keep up your combos while avoiding damage. And for those of you who cut your teeth on Hungry Shark Evolution, now there's a sequel. The Hungry Shark games are made by the Ubisoft studio Future Games of London, so it's no surprise that they have a good amount of polish to them. Hungry Shark Evolution features a wide selection of sharks, a large map, and even some customization options so that you can deck your shark out as you see fit. Plus, the graphics are vibrant and colorful, and decently advanced for a mobile title. The general feel of the game is enough to transport you from your living room or the bus to a sunny beach crawling with menacing sharks. The player's ability to progress in Hungry Shark Evolution largely comes down to their ability to collect 2 things: experience and gold. As you gain gold, you can buy upgrades and customization items that boost speed, bite power, boost power, growth rate, health recovery, and more. ![]() As you gain experience and level up your shark, however, more sharks are unlocked. ![]() Unfortunately, for a pick-up-and-play game where most players will want to jump right in and lay waste to the oceans with a Great White Shark, this progresssion is painfully slow, and the only way around it is (of course) in-app purchases. Yeah, all that awesome stuff up there? You'll need to either grind for weeks or shell out some of your hard-earned money. Again, it's not ideal for a game like this, built for fast pick-up-and-play action. The way the game plays is simple yet effective, a hallmark of most popular mobile games today. The controls are solid- the touchscreen joystick works surprisingly well. It's responsive, and insanely satisfying to plow into a school of fish or unsuspecting tourist and see your score skyrocket, and that's not even taking into account the Gold Rush mechanic that allows you to rack up gigantic gold bonuses after a long combo. At higher levels, and after unlocking larger sharks, the gameplay can get very intense since the life meter drains faster for larger, more powerful sharks. Hungry Shark World: What Has Changed In The Sequel? It's an interesting give-and-take, with the most destructive sharks in the game also offering the most risk. Now, the good news for Hungry Shark fans is that everything that made Hungry Shark Evolution great is present in Hungry Shark World, and in almost every case (with a few very notable exceptions we'll get into below), Ubisoft and Future Games of London have improved upon the formula. The first thing the series faithful will notice is that the game has gotten a massive graphical overhaul. The visual style is playful and over-the-top, and is actually reminiscent of the cartoony, expressive art style found in the Rayman games.

![]() ![]() At the end of March, the European Commision struck a deal with Germany that will allow the sale of combustion engine vehicles running on synthetic e-fuels even after the EU’s zero-emission vehicle policy takes effect in 2035. This idea is already gaining traction, Senecal says, pointing to recent events in Europe. ![]() ![]() “Electric vehicles are a great technology for certain applications and geographical regions, but they face their own sustainability issues: dirty energy grids, scarce resources for manufacturing batteries, the human and environmental impacts of mining those resources, and higher consumer costs, to name a few.”Ĭarbon-free and carbon-neutral fuels can fill in the gaps, Senecal claims, by helping to decarbonize existing vehicle fleets, reducing the battery resource burden, and providing a clean alternative solution in regions where electric grids are still heavily reliant on fossil fuels. “Well-intentioned laws aimed at combating climate change are in reality doing more harm than good,” says Senecal. According to Senecal, policies that ban internal combustion engines in the coming decades are excluding a key technology that could accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation. Senecal will speak to industry experts, academics, and government researchers at SAE International’s 2023 World Congress Experience (WCX), April 18–20 in Detroit.Ĭombustion engine vehicles running on alternative fuels have the potential to be low carbon or even carbon neutral, particularly if they are hybridized.

The poster is a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship and design of the vehicle, displaying it from various angles to highlight its impressive features and distinguished livery. Considering the stats from the 2022 Formula One season, we can call the RB18 a masterpiece of automotive engineering. The engine is strategically placed in a mid-mounted, rear-wheel drive layout, giving the car exceptional handling and balance, while its lightweight construction, weighing in at 798 kg (1759 lbs), provides an aerodynamic advantage. In combination with the cutting-edge Red Bull Powertrains electric motor, the car was a technical marvel. Masterminded by designer Adrian Newey, RB18 stands as his most successful Formula One design to date and is widely regarded as one of the most dominant cars ever to grace the circuit. The RB18 was propelled to greatness by a 740 BHP (544.64 KW) Red Bull RBPTH001 1.6 L direct injection V6 turbocharged engine. With Sergio Peréz finishing third in the Drivers' Standings, Red Bull secured their fifth Constructors' Championship, a feat they had not achieved since 2013. Competing in the 2022 Formula One World Championship, its status of greatness was sealed by Max Verstappen winning his second consecutive Drivers' Championship as well as the most Grand Prix wins in history. In October of 1984, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and nearly all the members of her Cabinet were staying at the Grand Hotel, in Brighton, after attending the annual Conservative Party Conference. It’s an unusually hopeful depiction of late midlife as a phase of discovery. In raving, she immerses herself in the cacophonous glory of New York City at night and finds a new way to inhabit her body and connect to its past. The book’s charm is in the autofiction, where the reader gets to inhabit Wark’s sense of liberation. Wark, who is trans and in her early sixties, began going to what she describes as “queer and trans-friendly raves in Brooklyn, New York” in 2018, around the same time she started hormone treatment. The book has some theorizing, a lot of quoting from others, a little ethnography, and some first-person autofiction written in a rapid present-tense clip. ![]() “Raving,” a monograph about the underground party scene that has exploded over the past several years in certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, is the result. In 2021, just as New York’s restrictions on night life lifted, the media theorist McKenzie Wark was asked to write a book for a series being published by Duke University Press about practices. “There are the old people who are in pain and are miserable, and there are the old people who are in pain and are light-hearted. “There are two kinds of old people,” Hamer writes. “Spring Rain” is something of a winter book. His mind turns to mortality often in the new book, which could be described as a memoir of a retired gardener turning his own small patch of neglected land back into a garden, or as a memento mori. ![]() Hamer’s prose proceeds by association and by charismatic detail (“there are golden moles and white moles”), but it also has a strong sense of arc, of change. “ Seed to Dust: Life, Nature, and a Country Garden” is a year of meditations on his time working in a vast garden owned by an old woman he calls Miss Cashmere. That book is a double portrait: of the difficult, lonely, and intense domesticity of both moles and Hamer. The first book, “ How to Catch a Mole,” was an account of how Hamer, who worked for many years as a mole catcher-which is surprising not only because the job sounds like it belongs in a Wordsworth poem but also because Hamer has been a vegetarian since childhood, and often had to kill the moles he caught-ceased to be a mole catcher. ![]() “Spring Rain,” the third book in a trilogy, follows Hamer as he becomes too old to work as a gardener anymore. Rather, she seeks to gently put it on a level playing field with its alternatives and open the minds of her readers to the culinary possibilities of dairy beyond American shores. Mendelson does not propose forgoing fresh milk altogether. The book charts the gradual spread of “dairying,” from its origins in the prehistoric Near East and Western Asia to its prevalence in northern Europe. In “ Spoiled: The Myth of Milk as Superfood,” the culinary historian Anne Mendelson questions fresh milk’s hegemonic grip over the American mind. Despite this consensus, milk retained its reputation as a nutritional bulwark in the United States and elsewhere. More studies over the following decades would draw similar conclusions about the difficulties that many communities of color faced when trying to digest unfermented milk. Six decades ago, Pedro Cuatrecasas, a resident at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, found concrete evidence that the ability to digest lactose might be a genetic condition linked to one’s racial background. ![]() Like most, if not all luxury dive-inspired watches the U-42 is obsolete for use in real-life, deep-water dives. When this lever is pulled the bezel is unhinged and the user is able to set it. The lever is tucked into the right side of the case. The bezel rotates freely in both directions when released by way of a lever, the type of functional and peculiar feature that many watch enthusiasts look for. The numerals are large and bold and coated with a healthy dose of phosphorescent paint in order to be clearly legible underwater. Each watch is tested at the manufacturing stage to ensure that it can withstand 40bars of pressure, which reaches beyond the official rating of 300 meters. Its structural specifications read exactly like a professional-grade diving watch. Italo’s U-42, like his grandfather’s concept, had to be, is highly water-resistant. The left-handed configuration, which achieves a more comfortable fit on the wrist as well as better protection for the crown, has become one of the signature characteristics of Italo Fontana’s U-Boat watches. ![]() Fontana’s watch was based on the same principles of high legibility, water resistance, and reliability.Ī few notable differences occurred, where the most obvious was an intricate crown system on the left of the case. While not associated in any way with the Panerai family business, Mr. Italo Fontana’s grandfather, Ilvo Fontana, submitted his watch idea to the Italian Navy at the same time that Panerai was producing their pieces for the Marina Militare. The limited-edition U-42, unveiled in March 2010, is based on the U-1942 but scaled down to a 53mm size and to a more accessible price range. ![]() The numerals and left-handed configuration of U-Boat watches spurred from these drawings and were originally revived in 2009 by the giant, 65mm, U-1942. A second important source of inspiration for Italo’s watchmaking career is a concept that his grandfather had proposed to the Italian Navy in 1942. The successful Flightdeck collection and the lesser-known Thousands of Feet series are examples of U-Boat watches that spawned from this passion. U-Boat watches are professional instruments and in a meeting with Italo Fontana, founder and designer of U-Boat watch, I learned that much of his inspiration comes from machines like racing cars, or jet fighters and the instrumentation found inside them. Fector tends to stick to the sides while occasionally moving to the center of the stage to fire in all eight directions. He is able to shoot homing missiles and you can avoid these by moving around often. It is important to keep moving while fighting Fector. If you don't have any items or power-ups, then you can still chip away at his health while running around the map and avoiding attacks. The boot upgrades are also incredibly useful for dodging bullets quickly. You will want items such as the Sherrif's Badge or Ammo to do additional damage. Before entering into this battle, make sure you have an item. As his health declines, he will begin to summon enemies as well. There is no ravine to separate you from him, and he is able to shoot in any direction (with the Wagon Wheel). Before 1.5.2 you could use the Tombstone item and kill him instantly once you became a zombie, but that has now been patched with the update. He is considerably harder to fight than the Cowboy. Run around, chipping at the Cowboy's health, and duck behind the cover as often as possible.įector appears in 3-4. Use this as often as possible to avoid being shot. In addition to the ravine, you will also have a little covered area to hide behind. Fighting him is pretty straightforward just shoot and avoid being shot. In addition to these enemies, you will also come across two different bosses the Cowboy and Fector. Don't worry about accidentally killing them, because they cannot be killed by the player nor can they kill the player. They'll also kill enemies if they run into them. These fellows are called Gophers, and they will cross the screen to distract enemies. NOTE: Friendlies can also spawn but it is completely random.The Graveyard (four levels) will spawn Mummies and Imps. Finally, you will move on to the last stage.This stage contains Ogres, Mushrooms, and Evil Butterflies. After clearing the Prairie, you will head to the Forest (four levels).Enemies in this stage include Orcs, Spikeballs, and Ogres. The first stage is the Prairie (five levels), where you are first introduced to the game.There is a total of thirteen levels in the game - five in the first stage, and four in both the second and third stages. ![]() Each stage brings different challenges and enemies, so we are going to go over what to expect for each stage. *There are three stages in Journey of the Prairie King, consisting of Prairie, Forest, and Graveyard. Items such as the Sheriff Badge and 1-Up can be purchased with coin in addition to dropping from enemies. However, you are only allowed to buy one, so choose wisely! The Vendor will appear with a selection of three items. ![]() These items will be available to buy at the end of every second level.
![]() Later that year, Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term deal with scanner manufacturer Barneyscan to distribute copies of the program with a slide scanner a "total of about 200 copies of Photoshop were shipped" this way. Thomas renamed the program ImagePro, but the name was already taken. Thomas took a six-month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program. This program (at that time called Display) caught the attention of his brother John, an Industrial Light & Magic employee, who recommended that Thomas turn it into a full-fledged image editing program. student at the University of Michigan, began writing a program on his Macintosh Plus to display grayscale images on a monochrome display. Photoshop was developed in 1987 by two brothers Thomas and John Knoll, who sold the distribution license to Adobe Systems Incorporated in 1988. Collectively, they are branded as "The Adobe Photoshop Family". As of November 2019, Adobe has also released a full version of Photoshop for the iPad, and while initially limited, Adobe plans to bring more features to Photoshop for iPad. Historically, Photoshop was bundled with additional software such as Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Device Central and Adobe Camera RAW.Īlongside Photoshop, Adobe also develops and publishes Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Express, Photoshop Fix, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop Mix. With the introduction of the Creative Cloud branding in June 2013 (and in turn, the change of the " CS" suffix to " CC"), Photoshop's licensing scheme was changed to that of software as a service subscription model. Photoshop CS3 through CS6 were also distributed in two different editions: Standard and Extended. However, in October 2002 (following the introduction of Creative Suite branding), each new version of Photoshop was designated with " CS" plus a number e.g., the eighth major version of Photoshop was Photoshop CS and the ninth was Photoshop CS2. Photoshop's naming scheme was initially based on version numbers. Its feature set can be expanded by plug-ins programs developed and distributed independently of Photoshop that run inside it and offer new or enhanced features. ![]() In addition to raster graphics, Photoshop has limited abilities to edit or render text and vector graphics (especially through clipping path for the latter), as well as 3D graphics and video. Photoshop uses its own PSD and PSB file formats to support these features.
