There’s plenty of iconic items, characters, and scenarios from D&D sprinkled throughout Forgotten Realms’ cards. And I, for one, think they did a great job. I’ll get to how they incorporated some of D&D’s mechanics in a bit, but for now it’s all about the flavor. I know I already mentioned that Wizards nixed Forgotten Realms’ inclusion as part of Magic’s canon lore, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still marvel at how R&D has sprinkled the magic of D&D in this set. My favorite is the Far Realm, a plane of Lovecraftian horrors (called aberrations in D&D) that lies “outside” of the rest of the multiverse.įorgotten Realms has focused on Faerûn and the Prime as they’re the biggest part of D&D and probably the most well-known and commonly referenced, though there are some splashes from other planes as well. It’s where the fey are from and is a plane of really potent magic. There’s also the Feywild or the plane of Faerie, which exists as an echo of the Prime Material Plane. Just like Magic, the Forgotten Realms has more than one realm as the name implies (usually called “ planes”), which is also called the multiverse. Some other notable places in Faerûn are the Anauroch desert, Amn, and Thay. A lot of lore focuses on the Sword Coast and heroes of the area including the Spine of the World to the North and Baldur’s Gate further South. The main location for a lot of Forgotten Realms stories is Faerûn, a major continent on the planet of Toril. Let me just crack my knuckles and lore vomit all over you before we get into the set itself. Hired Hexblade | Illustration by Irina Nordsol And honestly comes off as a little bit lazy in terms of creative storytelling, but it is what it is. Well, we already know that this set isn’t going to be part of Magic’s Multiverse lore-wise. So what does this mean for Forgotten Realms? They simply print cards with mechanics and themes to bolster upcoming blocks or give answers for overpowered cards from recent sets. Cards in core sets also sometimes have reminder text for mechanics and abilities on the card itself.Ĭore sets also don’t contribute to Magic’s overall storyline and don’t usually have a unified story across their cards. Core sets are usually aimed towards new players, featuring cards and mechanics that can easily be added into various MTG products like welcome decks, planeswalker decks, and deck builder’s toolkits. This means that it’s going to be Standard-legal, of course, but it’s also got some interesting implications. This year, however, Adventures in the Forgotten Realms has replaced a normal core set. If you’re familiar with Magic’s typical releases, you’ll know that the summer set is usually the year’s core set. This set is an interesting one, and not just because of the lore and flavor.

Kelis kaleidoscope zip1/27/2024 Get Along With You (Bump & Flex Radio Edit Get Along With You (Soul Inside Radio Mix) Get Along With You (Soul Inside Radio Mix)*Ĭaught Out There (Neptunes Extended Remix) Celebrated upon release, Rolling Stone pointed at “the ultrahip production duo the Neptunes makes this interplanetary power-girl mix sound both danceably down-to-earth and shockingly new.” SPIN embraced the album’s diversity calling each track “another cool sound on an album full of them.”Ĭaught Out There (Neptunes Extended Mix)* Featuring the iconic line “I hate you so much right now”, “Caught Out There” ushered Kelis into the collective hipster consciousness with usage in MTV’s Daria and a CK One ad for Calvin Klein. Kaleidoscope broke into the Billboard’s Top 200 albums and landed a #7 spot on the UK top R&B Album chart where it was certified gold. The album which peaked at #23 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, features her singles “Good Stuff”, “Get Along with You” and the signature track “Caught Out There” which Pitchfork praised saying, “this post-breakup mania is a top-rate, ahead-of-its-time Neptunes production, with snapping keyboards accompanied by high-pitched tones that sound like dynamite exploding in space.” Alongside this, a limited translucent orange 2LP deluxe (180 gram) vinyl will be released on March 6, featuring four never before heard on vinyl alternative versions of “Caught Out There ( Neptunes Extended Mix)” and “Get Along With You ( Pharrell Edit, Soul Inside Radio Mix, Mix Show).” Six studio albums and 39 singles later, Kelis is going back to where it all began, marking the milestone anniversary of the record with an extended digital release on February 21, featuring six brand new reworks that have never previously been available digitally. With features from Pusha-T, Markita and Justin Vince, Kaleidoscope is an album that’s boundary-pushing – Afro-futurism feels as fresh and relevant today as it did on release and not only influenced, but defined music, culture and style for generations to follow. She recorded the album aged 17, naive to its everlasting resonance, and from the moment it was released, it was a bolt of lightning, ahead of its time, pioneering on all sides, from the bold Neptunes production to its sci-fi aesthetic. It’s been 20 years since Kaleidoscope, the groundbreaking, game-changing debut album by Kelis. Fman of la mancha1/27/2024 Rothstein returns to Asolo Rep after previously directing the highly celebrated productions of Ragtime and Sweeney Todd. I hope our production pays homage to the lasting potency of Cervantes' epic novel and inspires us all ‘to see life not as it is but as it ought to be.’” “The central character, Miguel de Cervantes brings hope to a group of people who are hopeless and elevates them from a place of deep despair to a place of radical optimism. “ MAN OF LA MANCHA is a celebration of the transformative power of storytelling and the transformative power of theater,” says Rothstein. The winner of five Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, and featuring a soaring score, including “Man of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote)” and one of theatre’s most beloved songs, “The Impossible Dream,” this classic musical celebrates the power of theatre, the bravery of holding strong to our dreams, and the resilience of imagination. This epic and poignant journey celebrates the perseverance of one man who refuses to relinquish his ideals and who is determined to see life not as it is, but as it ought to be. MAN OF LA MANCHA begins previews on May 10, opens on May 13, and runs through June 11, in the Mertz Theatre, located in the FSU Center for the Performing Arts.Ĭonsidered by many to be one of the best musicals of all time, MAN OF LA MANCHA immerses us in Miguel de Cervantes’ retelling of Don Quixote and his quest. Peter Rothstein returns to direct this reimagined musical which was written by Dale Wasserman, with music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion.

Asolo Rep Announces Full Cast for Man of La Mancha Written by Dale Wasserman Fontagent pro 7 to 81/27/2024 So with the stage set, let's see how they fared. After a slow and rocky start for font management on Mac OS X, it's now good times for font junkies. The big three reviewed here-Insider FontAgent Pro, Linotype FontExplorer X, and Extensis Suitcase Fusion-are now all Universal Binaries for Intel Macs. Now, years after Suitcase started the ball rolling on System 6, we're lucky enough to have some very mature font management tools for Mac OS X. The result is a need to handle and navigate the abundant libraries available while not stifling that creative process. Nowadays clients are wiser and choosier, fonts are cheaper (not making them out of steel helps), and everyone and their dog is making fonts (the dog fonts are terrible you really don't want to use those). In simpler times, you pulled open a drawer, chose between the three sets of steel blocks, said "I don't care who you are, you're getting Garamond," and that was that. For designers that juggle a range of clients and projects, working with fonts is more a nebulous creative ritual of feeling a brand, and it demands a tool worthy of the task. To prepress houses and service bureaus, it is the pit stop: you turn it on, hit Print, and go deal with the real work-the more time you have to spend dealing with the font management/activation process, the less money you are making. To people outside of design and typography, I'm sure that the words "font manager" sound like something taking itself way too seriously-like some sort of gilded spice rack-but for those that need to work with fonts on a daily basis, the font manager is serious business. Giving a lot of time to these programs in a production setting is crucial to seeing how they perform on a daily basis, and I am confident I've thrown enough varied scenarios at each to find out where they succeed and fail. I've also succeeded in not completely losing my mind while the developers updated the apps, nullifying half my criticisms in the process. In this way, FontAgent Pro works like Font Reserve.Well, it was a long time coming, but I've been through the trenches and come up, sucking chest wound and all, with the Ars review of font management programs. But if you quit FontAgent Pro, all your fonts remain active as long as you keep your computer on, or until you open FontAgent to deactivate them. Like Suitcase, FontAgent Pro works as a separate application. Select the font, group of fonts, or font set then click on the On or Off button (rather than Activate or Deactivate) in the upper left of the FontAgent Pro window. Best of Both WorldsĪs with Font Reserve and Suitcase, activating and deactivating fonts is quick and easy however, FontAgent Pro uses different terminology. The font book you produce will include all the fonts you’ve chosen, displayed in the format you set in Font Player. But you can select as many fonts as you like, click on the print button in Font Player, and then save the set of displayed fonts as a PDF. Further kerning, spacing, and ligature controls found in the Fonts menu let you refine your preview.įont Player’s major drawback is that it limits you to viewing only one font at a time, unlike Suitcase, which provides an excellent multiple-font preview pane. Font Player is actually a versatile preview engine that lets you sample type size, font color, background color, and text. The lower right pane contains Font Player, an iTunes look-alike. You can designate font sets as startup sets, which means they will start up with your computer. Once you have a complete library, making working sets is easy: you just drag font names to the Sets pane from the library pane. It will also check for duplicate or orphaned font files. FontAgent Pro will verify all your fonts, checking them for corruption or damage, and it will remove them if it finds problems. FontAgent lets you set up multiple libraries to avoid confusion if you receive fonts from clients or other outside sources. The easiest way to begin building a comprehensive library is simply to drag your hard-drive icon into the library pane on the left. FontAgent’s printed documentation is sparse, but font-management novices will appreciate the application’s simple tutorial when they’re getting started = it’s located in the Secrets menu. The upper right pane shows sets, and the lower right one is for previews. On the left of the main window is the library and sets pane its tabs are similar in appearance to Microsoft Internet Explorer’s various tabs (History, Favorites, and so on). FontAgent Pro’s multipaned window interface is similar to Font Reserve’s and Suitcase’s, but FontAgent Pro has some subtle differences. Diy archery quiver shaping1/27/2024 Curves were then drawn in to avoid making square corners (picture 2 this step). Then parallel lines were marked 9mm to each side of the center line (to suit the size of the buckle to be used). The center of the strap was marked for the length it needed to be narrow (about 350mm). The first problem was that I wanted to use a smaller buckle to attach this strap to the main strap and the second was how to make the underarm strap attach to the main strap.īecause the straps had already been cut to the same width and attached to the quiver the underarm strap needed to be narrowed. Next was the underarm strap and this posed two problems. To do this the center of the straps were marked and curves were drawn on using a sift pencil and then cut and trimmed with scissors. Once the edges were laced the strap ends were shaped to soften the square edges. Then ends of the laces were not trimmed but were split using scissors and allowed the hang down. When you get both ends through the last hole tie them off using whatever knot you are comfortable with and add a few drops of glue (I used superglue, but craft glue -PVA would also work). Then repeat the process with the other lace so that it is crossing the first lace on the outside edge of the quiver (see photo). Then starting with one side thread the lace through each of the sets of holes all the way to the end. To lace the edges feed the lacing through the first two holes until the lace on both sides is of an even length. I then laced the edges together using kangaroo hide lacing (saddlery supplies, some craft stores). Go slowly as once a hole is punched it cannot be changed. I was important to keep the holes as even a possible and also an equal distance from the edge (about 10mm). The quiver was folded in half and held in place by three small spring clamps (hardware store), and holes were punched every 15mm (the distances were not measured just estimated). However, a hole punch and a hammer were used on a wooden block to punch out the lacing holes. I researched quivers on the internet, at my local archery club (looking at commercially available quivers - mostly side quivers) and by browsing archery supply stores (which are few and far between).Īt his point there was a break in the work for about a week and I forgot to take pictures of the whole process when work was resumed. Cost was also a limiting factor as the whole point of making this quiver was because I had no desire to pay over $100 for a quiver from an archery supplier. There were some limitations to this project such as the fact that I could not machine sew this material and the thought of hand sewing it with thread made me cringe, also I have not skill at leather carving or embossing so it is a bit plain. I should note that I am not a leather work expert so if you are then please forgive any mistakes. In total there is about $35 worth of materials here and it took me 4 - 5 hours. All of the fittings (buckles and rivets) came from a local antique/bric-a-brac store and a local saddlery supply shop. The hide is about 3mm thick and I used a section about 600mm x 400mm, not including the straps. I used cow hide that I picked up cheaply at a craft market. Custom orders and painted orders do not apply due to additional time for design and drying.Here is an archery quiver that I constructed.

Waves are important factors in these models. These simulations allow researchers to test vessel performance in a wide variety of unpredictable events, providing maritime operators with the ability to plan vessel speed, course corrections, and inform ports of adjusted arrival times to avoid delays brought on by weather events. Advances in maritime data and machine learning have led to improvements in the ability to run complex, accurate simulations of how vessels and equipment work in an array of conditions. As weather patterns continue to be unpredictable, recently winds caused a vessel to veer off course and block the Suez Canal and warmer than usual North Pole temperatures served up a shift in the polar vortex resulting in strange weather conditions across the US and Europe. Climate Change serves up a mix of weather events, Data helps build a strategy to copeĬlimate change delivered a record breaking 2020 storm season that had a major impact on maritime operations. Dynamic AIS combines three types of AIS data to deliver more AIS messages than before. Spire created Dynamic AIS, to help solve this data gap issue. Collecting AIS data in these areas is also challenging and often results in large gaps without any transmissions. Areas like the Black Sea or the South China Sea, are particularly treacherous and can damage vessels and equipment, cause vessels to sink, as well as pose a serious hazard to crew. From cargo being knocked overboard to equipment and hull damage, waves are a constant source of considerable damage to vessels and their contents.Ĭertain oceans and localized areas are known for large waves that present significant challenges to maritime operations in terms of safety and efficiency. Beyond basic operations economics, waves cause physical damage to vessels. Waves push against vessels and create ship movements that make travel less straight, and therefore less efficient.This friction has a direct effect on fuel economy, travel speed, mapping, and arrival time estimating. Regardless of size, waves affect vessel performance. See more in this FAQ which covers wave characteristics and wave types in detail Waves impact vessel performance regardless of type In particular, as the tsunami enters the shoaling water, the wavelength shortens, the speed decreases, and the amplitude increases, whilst the period remains constant. As the waves approach the coastline and the water shoals, they are amplified and can be extremely destructive, depending on the shape of the coastline and the bathymetry (the underwater equivalent of topography). The resulting abrupt change in sea-surface height from such an event sends a set of long waves propagating outward from the point of origin. Melting glaciers can also induce landslides which have the potential to generate tsunamis. They are typically generated by an underwater geological event, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or a submarine landslide. Tsunamis – Tsunamis are long-period oceanic waves driven by gravitational force. The terms “tidal waves” and “tsunamis” are sometimes used interchangeably, but this is not technically accurate. Tidal waves are considered predictable events because ocean tides are predictable events. Tidal waves – Tidal waves are generated by ocean tides and therefore indirectly by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun. Swell waves are an example of gravity waves, or oscillations of matter driven by gravitational force. Such energy can enable swells to travel thousands of miles across the ocean without changes in height or shape, until they reach a distant shore as breaking waves. Swell waves – Over time and distance, sustained wind strength and duration build up a large amount of energy beneath the ocean’s surface, forming deeper waves known as swells. They are directly caused by the wind in that location. Wind waves – Wind waves are caused by the friction between local winds and surface water.
