Police chief Am Thou said the boat’s two operators had been hospitalized after the accident and would face legal action. “May I urge all the people, especially the people who live along the river, to pay the highest care during this flooding period,” he said, referring to the recent heavy rains that possibly contributed to the accident. Prime Minister Hun Sen also gave condolences on the Telegram messaging platform. Provincial officials paid a visit to the girl, and King Norodom Sihamoni on his royal Facebook page offered condolences and prayers for the families of the victims. She said that when the boat was going down she jumped out, trying to swim with her face up, and drifted to the river’s bank. One of the survivors, 12-year-old Ry Chanbora, was shown in a video broadcast online by Swift News telling relatives that she normally doesn’t know how to swim well despite living near the river. Work and fundraising are underway to expand a 2012 short documentary about the famous photograph, “Saigon ’68,” into a full-length film.ĭirector Douglas Sloan says it will encourage people to understand the context of what they see in powerful images.However, as they walked back, the boat became unbalanced and turned over. His legacy includes the annual Eddie Adams Workshop for emerging photojournalists, which marked its 30th year this fall. government to admit over 200,000 of the refugees (one of the pictures also is on Time’s 100-most-influential list). Lop’s widow told the AP in 2000 that she felt the picture helped turn Americans against the war.Īdams, who died in 2004, was more proud of his 1977 photos of people fleeing postwar Vietnam. Loan died in 1998 in Virginia, where he ran a restaurant. He rued that “two people’s lives were destroyed that day” - Lop’s and Loan’s - “and I don’t want to destroy anybody’s life. “I don’t say what he did was right, but he was fighting a war, and he was up against some pretty bad people,” Adams said. It ended when the North prevailed in 1975.Īdams, meanwhile, felt Loan was unfairly vilified by a public that didn’t see something outside the frame: the killings of Loan’s aide and the aide’s family hours earlier by the Viet Cong. The Tet Offensive proved a military failure for the Communists, but it fueled the American public’s pessimism and weariness about the war. The photo appeared on front pages, TV screens and protest placards. The doves were going to say, ‘See the kind of people we’re dealing with here (in South Vietnam)?’ And the hawks said, ‘It shouldn’t have been used - you guys gotta get on the team,’” says Buell, now retired.īut “the image had an impact, and its impact was felt by those people who were on the fences.” “I knew when it went out that you were going to get two reactions. After some deliberation, he and other editors decided to distribute it worldwide. Loan told the two: “They killed many of my men and many of your people” and walked away, Adams recalled in a 1998 interview for an AP oral history project.Īt the AP’s New York headquarters, photography director Hal Buell saw the image emerging from the radio-based system used to transmit photos at the time. Suu’s footage also captured the moment, in motion. Instead, Loan fired, and Adams’ photo froze prisoner Bay Lop’s grimace as he was shot. Adams figured the chief planned a gunpoint interrogation. Nguyen Ngoc Loan, walked up and lifted his pistol. North Vietnamese forces and Viet Cong guerrillas had attacked South Vietnamese towns and cities, including the capital, Saigon, during a holiday cease-fire.Īdams, a former Marine Corps Korean War photographer who joined the AP in 1962, and NBC cameraman Vo Suu had been checking out fighting in a Saigon neighborhood when they saw South Vietnamese soldiers pulling a prisoner out of a building, toward the newsmen. It was the second day of the Tet Offensive. “There are ugly things that happen that need to be recorded and shared.” “It still represents a lot of what photojournalists do, that idea of bearing witness to an important event,” says Keith Greenwood, a University of Missouri photojournalism-history professor. Time magazine has declared it one of history’s 100 most influential photos. “It doesn’t tell you why.”Īfter 50 years, the Saigon execution remains one of the defining images of the war. “Pictures don’t tell the whole story,” he said later.

Because you begin the game with such few cards in Elder Scrolls Legends, this is much more valuable than let’s say Magic the Gathering. For 5 Magicka you a 5/5 that gives you the opportunity to see 1 card in your opponents hand and if you’re lucky, acquire a copy of it. Since it’s introduction with Heroes of Skyrim, Thief of Dreams is a staple in any control/combo deck that contains blue cards. We’ll start with the most important cards to this deck: Thief of Dreams, Riften Pickpocket and Dark Rebirth. And, Dark Rebirth is there to gain more cards from your opponent or to activate an ability from one of the creatures you drew from them (if it would be better). I wish I had been recording because I’ll probably never see that in a game again.Ĭhanter of Akatosh and Ayrenn are used when things are well in control to help get you over the hump to finish off your opponent. One game I actually played 3 Alduin because I copied it twice in my opponents hand and used Soul Tear for the 3rd play. You can either play Thief of Dreams to try to get some more cards from your opponent, or if you drew something good, play one of their cards and beat them to death with it. What you play next will be decided by what you have drawn from your opponents deck. Around turn 3 or 4 you’ll need to decide if your opponent is going for an aggro kill or if he/she is playing a control deck and decide whether to break a Rune or try to run them out of cards. Next you’ll want to play cards like Thieves Guild Shadowfoot and Riften Pickpocket to help facilitate card draw and gain some insight into your opponent’s deck and strategy, if it isn’t already apparent. Follow up with Daggerfall Mage or Grisly Gourmet to slow them down even further and take control of the board. Firebolt will allow you to control against aggressive decks and Bruma Profiteer well help slow them down by providing some much needed health. The strategy with this deck is to get out Studious Greybeard early so that you can control what cards you get, making sure you are getting the right ones you need. There’s nothing like playing a copy of someone’s card right after they have just played it on you. Not only will your opponent be taken by surprise by what you play, but you will have gain more control by seeing the cards that make up their deck and hand. The theme of this deck is to “mirror” your opponent by copying or taking cards from his/her deck and using them against him/her. This week’s deck is a Mage Deck called Mirror Mage because of the cards from your opponent’s deck that you play. If you’re a new player to the game or are simply struggling in competitive play, then these guides are for you. As an avid fan of Elder Scrolls Legends, having spent well over the amount any sane person would on the game, I’ve decided to do a weekly segment dedicated just to Decks. T he Elder Scrolls Legends Decks are the bread and butter of the game, and since the release of Heroes of Skyrim on June 29th, they have changed significantly. This will come at the expense of Python 1.5 compatibility and (as always) backwards compatibility with previous versions. Among my other projects I am designing Beautiful Soup version 2.0, which should be much more coherent and powerful, as well as generating better parse trees and having better Unicode support. Hey, Beautiful Soup fans (all others can ignore this entry). In Quicksilver, that Comstock's ancestor was the C in Charles II's CABAL. Near the end of Cryptonomicon Randy makes a reference to "Comstock's cabal".There's probably no geneaological relationship between them, though. There's a correspondence between the sinister Investor in Quicksilver who goes around on a big ol' galleon or whatever, and the sinister Dentist in Cryptonomicon who is an investor and who goes around on a big ol' yacht.I think I got all of them because I wasn't looking for them at all and they just jumped out at me, but there might be more. As far as I can tell the Bischoff scene has no reason to use it, except it's very near the end of the book which is where authors traditionally pile on references to the recurring images. Its use in the Yamomoto scene is thematically appropriate for several reasons which I could write a whole paper on if I were the kind of person who writes papers instead of weblog entries on this topic. It's also used near the end in the scene where Bischoff is escaping his sunken U-boat:īischoff looks back and up, and sees the forward end of the pressure hull turned into a dome of orange fire, the silhouette of a man centered in it, lines of welds and rivets spreading away from that center like the meridians of a globe. The greenhouse disintegrates around him, the meridians and parallels crumping and rending which isn't quite as bad as it sounds since the body of the plane is suddenly filled with flames. The plane has been parked pointing east, so the glass nose is radiant with streaky dawn, the unreal hues of chemicals igniting in a lab. The nose of the plane, then, is a blunt dome of curving struts, like the meridians and parallels of a globe. It's used twice in the set piece depicting the death of Admiral Yamamoto: I found that exact imagery used three times in Cryptonomicon. One of the recurring images in The Confusion and The System of the World is that of a hollow or wireframe globe being consumed in flames (it's even the little logo on the spine of my copy of TSotW). This I'm surprised no one has mentioned because it's the most interesting tie-in I found.It's not just the samurai swords in the trunk of the car (though that is the coolest reference). I feel kind of lame pointing this out because it's so obvious, but no one else has actually come out and mentioned it, so I will. There are several references throughout Cryptonomicon to the Shaftoes' arrival in America as indentured servants, their escaping at the first opportunity and lighting it for the mountains, etc.Presented in descending order of plausibility. Not sure why.īy no popular demand whatsoever, I present the list of Cryptonomicon-Baroque Cycle tie-ins that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere (qv. Almost every game I like has one or both of those traits (the rest I like because of minimalist simplicity), but they seem uncommon in the games I test for the Roundups. The screenshots show Steve Hardt's game design philosophy, which I think is sorely lacking in a lot of the games I play for Roundups: a flexible set of techniques to use towards your goals, and lots of random variation within well-defined parameters. Steve Hardt also wrote a PalmOS game called TREADS, which I haven't tried out yet but it kind of looks like a more refined version of XDeathlord. Hopefully it's just my short attention span. I haven't been able to really get into the game yet, though, and I'm not sure why. As such, it uses the X and Y axes instead of X and Z. It's got the same fun-style (there must be some German word for that) as XEvil, but in a vehicular combat mode instead of a personal combat mode. Only recently did I learn that XEvil is Steve Hardt's second released game. I've played his masterpiece XEvil for years, enjoying its ingenious set of moving parts, cartoony ultra-violence, and randomly-generated 2D playing field. Hey, you know what games are cool? The ones by Steve Hardt. Or I could just squander it by talking about games. Perhaps a convocation for the new year, something to usher in peace and goodwill. What to say? Something profound-but not too profound. "Metroid Prime 4 job ad mentions 'emotional scenes' and 'cinematic pillars' ". "Nintendo Restarting The Development Of Metroid Prime 4".

"Metroid Prime 4 Is Being Developed By "A Talented New Development Team" ". "Metroid Prime 4 Confirmed For Nintendo Switch, But Retro Studios Isn't Involved". In October 2020, Retro posted a job advertisement seeking storyboard artists to work on "emotional" and "interesting and innovative scenes that elevate the narrative" Video Games Chronicle took this as an indication of a more cinematic focus than previous Metroid Prime games. Takahashi said that development under the previous studio had not met Nintendo's standards and that the decision to restart the project was not taken lightly. In a video released online in early 2019, Nintendo EPD general manager Shinya Takahashi announced that development on Metroid Prime 4 had restarted under Retro Studios with Tanabe. However, Nintendo did not show it during their E3 2018 presentation, and said they would only share more information once they believed they "had something that would wow people". In 2018, then-Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé stated that Metroid Prime 4 was "well into development" and "proceeding well". While not confirmed by Nintendo, Eurogamer reported that Prime 4 was being developed by Bandai Namco Studios of Japan and Singapore the Bandai Singapore staff included former LucasArts staff who had worked on the cancelled Star Wars 1313.

Bill Trinen, director of product marketing at Nintendo of America, confirmed that Metroid Prime 4 would involve Metroid producer Kensuke Tanabe but not Retro Studios, which had developed the previous Metroid Prime games. Nintendo announced Metroid Prime 4 during their E3 2017 broadcast. As of 2022, the game is still in development. Kensuke Tanabe, who worked on the first Prime games, returned as a producer. In early 2019, development restarted under Retro Studios, developer of the previous Metroid Prime games. The title was announced during an online showcase at E3 2017, and was reportedly initially developed by Bandai Namco Studios. There is also alot of backtracking in the game, but this is usually for the access of new areas and upgrades.Metroid Prime 4 is an upcoming video game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Negatives -Replay Value: One might not be compelled to play this prolonged adventure again, although if they do they will realize just how excellent the game was when they'd played it the first time. The lack of manual aiming without the R buttons is solved via the use of the lock on feature. News was scarce for years after, with minimal information coming out. Controls: The controls in Metroid Prime work over all very well throughout the game. Metroid Prime 4 was first announced in 2017, with development stemming from a partnership between Nintendo and Bandai Namco. Sound: Metroid prime presents an alienlike sound track that perfectly fits the mood of the game. The boss battles are excellently executed, and there is a ton of information to collect throughout the game, via scan logs and upgrades. The game is played at a first person perspective, but it isn't a first person shooter, it is more in the vein of first person adventure game. Gameplay: Metroid Prime immerses you into a large 3D environment for exploration and puzzle solving. Positives - Graphics: The graphics in metroid prime are not only top notch for the gamecube, but top notch for any 6th generation home Positives - Graphics: The graphics in metroid prime are not only top notch for the gamecube, but top notch for any 6th generation home console. Keka will create a folder with the contents of the RAR file. Once done, you should see a folder with the same name as the RAR file. Step 10: Wait for the extraction process to complete. Step 9: Choose a folder where you want to extract the contents of the RAR file. Step 7: Right-click on the file and hover your mouse over Open with. Step 6: Use Finder to navigate to the RAR file you want to open. Optionally, you can click on the large button that says ‘Set Keka as the default uncompressor.’ You don’t need the app to be open anymore though, so you can close the Keka window at this point. Step 5: The app is now set up and is ready to open your RAR files. Step 4: Click on Open when a prompt appears. Step 3: Head to the Applications folder on the left column in Finder and double-click on Keka to launch it. Step 2: Drag the Keka app to the Applications folder and drop it there. Step 1: Download Keka on your Mac using the link above. However, we will be demonstrating the steps using Keka. If you’re looking for an alternative app that’s free on the App Store, check out The Unarchiver. The Mac App Store version requires you to pay for it and if you really like what Keka does, we suggest you pay to reward the developer’s efforts. Keka is a free app and you can download it from the developer’s website. You will have to download a third-party app like Keka. How to Open RAR Files Using KekaĪs mentioned earlier, there’s unfortunately no native way of opening RAR files on a Mac. Mac lets you do that using a third-party app or an online tool. So you’ll need to uncompress or un-RAR those files to view the contents packed inside. As a result, some files you find online or get as email attachments could be compressed into a RAR file. RAR files are useful if you want to reduce the size of a bunch of files before sending them. Think of it as a ZIP file but with higher levels of compression. A typical RAR file consists of one or several compressed files bundled together. Just like the ZIP file, which is actually an archive file type, RAR file works similar but offers a bit more features. If you’ve downloaded an attachment or received a link to download documents in a RAR file, here’s how you can open it on your Mac. RAR Extractor Free for Mac delivered on all of its promises during testing and was able to extract all of the files we tried it on.While there are several apps on the App Store for the job, we’ve picked the one that’s simple and easy to use for opening RAR files on your Mac. There is no alert to inform you, so you just have to go looking for the new files to see if they've shown up yet. Unclear completion: If you don't choose to have the unarchived file open once extraction is complete, it can be hard to know when the program is done. Consīanner ad: There is a large, flashing banner ad that takes up about a quarter of the Preferences pane. You can also choose to do all, none, or some combination of these. Options include exiting the app, opening the extracted files automatically, or deleting the compressed version of the files. You can also decide what post-extraction steps the program should take. Streamlined interface: While this app mostly works in the background, taking over when you need to open a compressed file, it does feature a Preferences window as well that allows you to customize the program's behavior to an extent.Įxtraction options: You can choose to have extractions appear in the current folder, unarchive them to the Desktop, or unarchive them to a different location.

The movement of salt-water into freshwater areas (saline intrusion) can occur during coastal flooding and can impact upon the biodiversity of previously freshwater or terrestrial ecosystems. Sudden coastal erosion events, particularly those in the vicinity of coastal cliffs, may directly endanger the lives of people. This can increase the risk of coastal flooding and result in loss of land and damage to buildings, infrastructure and agricultural land. These conditions are, in turn, reliant upon a number of factors, including topography, the composition and structure of the geological formations exposed at the coast, the state of man-made coastal defences, local currents and tidal range, wave climate (as characterised by wave height, period, direction and fetch), groundwater, sediment supply, and relative sea level.Ĭonsequently, rates of coastal erosion and accretion are very variable at regional, national and international scales.Ĭoastal erosion typically results in a landward retreat of the coastline. The occurrence of coastal erosion is dependent upon the balance between the resistance, or erodibility, of the coastline and the strength, or erosivity, of the waves and tides affecting the area. 'It is for this reason that we are launching a public appeal to raise funds for this vital conservation work.' 'If these coastal properties are to survive the coming decades, we will need to strengthen their walls and build sea defences to protect them. Mr Woodside said: 'Hundreds of heritage sites in the UK and around the world are increasingly at risk. In recent years, English Heritage said the sea banks and modern gabion sea defences, loose stones shaped into blocks by wire cages, had been undermined by coastal erosion, costing at least £25,000 to repair. In Cumbria, 14th-century Piel Castle stands on a rapidly eroding low-lying island around half a mile from the coast of Morecambe Bay.īuilt to guard Barrow-in-Furness against pirates and Scots raiders, swathes of the surrounding island have already been lost, while some of the castle fell into the sea in the 19th century. Just down the coast, Calshot Castle - another of Henry VIII's fortifications - is battling erosion, but its low lying site also puts it at risk from flooding as sea levels rise. Pictured before (right) and after (left) the collapse of the east wing Hurst Castle in Hampshire, an artillery fortress built by Henry VIII, saw a huge section of the 18th century east wing collapse in February 2021 after the sea undercut its foundations. Other castles considered to be among the most vulnerable to coastal erosion include Bayard's Cove Fort near Dartmouth in Devon, which was built in Tudor times to defend the entrance to the Dart Estuary. It is hoping to raise £40,000 to repair this and the damage caused by last winter's storms. It is thought this racy legend inspired Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to start building a castle there in the 1230s.Įnglish Heritage said the site has always battled with erosion, with parts of the castle already falling into the sea by the 14th century.īut it said recently parts of the cliff directly in front of the visitors centre had been lost, affecting the viewing area and the coastal path. The king allegedly used magic potion to turn into the Duke Gorlois of Cornwall in order to seduce his wife, Queen Ygerna. Passages in Monmouth's book depict how Arthur was conceived at the castle by Uther Pendragon, King of Britain. His mythological account of the history of the kings of Britain - Historia Regum Britanniae - thus cemented the site's place in the national imagination. Tintagel Castle has been inhabited since the late Roman period, but it was not until the 12th century that chronicler Geoffrey of Monmoth claimed it was where King Arthur was conceived. 'Rising sea levels and more regular storms pose a real risk to the future of many of our sites.' 'Climate change is accelerating the issues faced by our coastal heritage and creating huge challenges for organisations like English Heritage seeking to protect it. He continued: 'To give this some context, last century sea levels rose by 14cm along the southern coast of England. |
