![]() YOU MUST CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER AND CORRECT VERSIONS I still prefer the E-M1 color here as well but what is important is it shows how useful the 5 Axis can be, even for 1/60th s. If each image was sharp, it would almost be a wash here and would have to go by color preferences. The other two bumped ISO but also were stopped down a little more. The reason the E-M1 did so well and WON the 1st test below? The 5 Axis IS kept it steady letting me shoot in lower light at a minimal ISO. Right click on each image and open in a new tab or window for full size files. My pick for best IQ here at 1/60th is the Olympus E-M1 for sharpness and color. I used a well-regarded lens for each system, lenses that have had rave reviews. Some lenses on some systems will render differently when it comes to sharpness, color, bokeh, etc. ![]() With all of that out-of-the-way, remember that the tests here are all dependent on lenses used.

I’m not sure just yet if the movement tech will be quite as robust as Solar Ash, but letting players parkour their way around each biome freely was certainly the right lesson to take. Breakers can do more than just dash around the Overgrowth – they can climb, leap off cliffs and glide, and (my favorite) scoot around on a hoverboard, shooting off ramps and walls in a system clearly taking cues from Heart Machine’s recent Solar Ash. That familiarity is also aided by what looks to be some fun movement tech. While it’s hard to say more without actually having hands-on time, I’m optimistic that the transition from top-down to 3D combat won’t be too tough to make for those who loved Drifter. But the familiarity comes from a certain pleasant chunkiness that I loved from Hyper Light Drifter, where hits connect hard with satisfying sounds and reactions. There’s a wider array of weapons than before for stringing together combos, with customizable loadouts of melee and ranged weaponry alongside special abilities such as grenades and (my favorite) a giant cube that Preston dropped on enemies’ heads repeatedly. Preston starts out in a lovingly pink biome deeply reminiscent of the first area of Drifter, and begins zipping around in search of beacons as a number of small enemies pop up to waylay him.įortunately for Drifter fans, combat in Breaker (at least visually) seems familiar. To do so, players have to take down multiple bosses across different procedurally generated biomes, each of which is gated behind multiple “beacons” that must be activated for each boss to appear. But it doesn’t seem easy to get to said Abyss King. There will be different character classes, he says, with different abilities as well as some degree of customizability.Īs a “Breaker,” players are sent out into the Overgrowth to take down minions of the Abyss King, the mysterious big bad at the heart of Hyper Light Breaker. He’s playing single-player, but tells me Hyper Light Breaker will include online cooperative multiplayer that’s flexible to wherever different players might be in the game’s story. I watch Preston putter briefly around a bustling hub city full of NPCs before he heads out into the world for a run. It’s a multiplayer 3D roguelike action game centered around players heading out from a hub into a procedurally generated world, defeating bosses, and returning to do it all again. Where Hyper Light Drifter was a single-player (at launch), top-down, action-adventure game, Hyper Light Breaker is a different genre entirely. But aesthetic is where most of the at-a-glance similarities end. Even passing over the lack of a request for it, we disagree. Defendant, of course, claims that the ruling came too late. To the contrary, it was the court itself which eventually ruled that the impeachment had become "cumulative, that it might be prejudicial" and should not be pursued any further. We could dispose of any claim respecting the wife by pointing out that extremely able counsel for defendant, who made numerous objections throughout the trial, never claimed that the cross-examination with respect to the inconsistent statements to the police became prejudicially repetitive. There was no error committed with respect to either witness. ![]() At the trial he too recanted when called by the prosecution and later, as a defense witness, claimed that S. had confirmed this in his statement to the police. had testified that on occasions when defendant came home early in the afternoon, he would send D.

Brown then reported the matter to the police and gave a statement to the effect that the night before defendant had confessed to "having an affair" with S. The next morning defendant's wife questioned S. During that discussion defendant made some statement about his relationship with S. The background to this claim is as follows: during the night of May 1, 1969, defendant and his wife had a discussion concerning his going out in the evening. In particular defendant claims error in repetitive questioning concerning statements they retracted when called as witnesses by the People. Such additional facts as are necessary will be stated in connection with our discussion of defendant's various claims of error.ĭefendant claims that he was prejudiced by "lengthy, repetitive and undue" impeachment of witnesses favorable to the defense, namely defendant's wife and his 10-year-old stepson D. 2 while defendant's wife was at work away from home.

The impact of our efforts resulted in almost all members having at least 2 months cash on hand to weather the storm, compared to national benchmarks where most businesses only have a few weeks of cash on hand. By end Q4 2020, Camino Financial reached historical high loan volumes in lending to its existing borrower base. In total, Camino Financial offered relief programs to nearly 25% of our loan portfolio and never stopped lending to our existing borrower base. ![]() With many Latino-owned businesses unqualified to receive government relief programs, Camino Financial focused its efforts on offering relief payment programs and capital to these businesses. Doubled down on supporting and capitalizing our members You can read references of the Latino Small Business Credit Survey in the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, NBC, and El Diario. Our goal is to bridge this gap in research and demystify the Latino credit market, so more resources and capital can be invested in the segment. Lack of research on the market can lead to missed opportunities - we saw this in the structural challenges inherent in PPP and other government relief programs that inhibited capital in reaching the Latino community. The research is intended to help policymakers, investors and other community stakeholders make informed decisions about the opportunities and challenges inherent in lending to Latino-owned businesses. Launched the quarterly Latino Small Business Credit Survey, comprising the largest data set of its kind of more than 25,000 credit applicants. Released largest quarterly credit survey on the Latino Business market We are also working on and directing our members to other state level relief programs that have less restrictions, especially on the immigration status of business owners. In particular, Camino Financial helped launch the $10 Million COVID-19 Response Initiative in collaboration with Community Investment Management. Given that over 50% of our borrower base does not qualify for government assistance, we expanded our relief programs and content beyond PPP and EIDL. These efforts enabled 16.6% of Camino Financial members to access government relief funds, compared to market benchmarks of 2.5%. We quickly distributed content and organized digital workshops to enable businesses owners to educate our members on relief funding available to them. In direct response to their capital and resource constraints amid a global pandemic, Camino Financial took initiative to build one of the largest bilingual content hubs available on COVID-19 relief funding. ![]() This year small business members needed us the most. Our Impact Latinx small business members were 6.6x more likely to access PPP or other relief programs funds To commemorate the resiliency of our small business members and associates, please take two minutes to watch the our 2020 Stronger Together video. The great news is we ended on high notes across the company and set the foundation to build up to new heights for the indefinite future. ![]() As we reflect on 2020, this year marked the lowest lows and the highest highs for Camino Financial. ![]() The word equinox comes from Latin words which together mean “equal night” and one would be forgiven for assuming this means that the day and night period of the equinox is perfectly 50-50. It highlights the brilliance of ancient astronomers, who were able to note the subtle differences in the placement of the sun in the sky not just year by year, but century by century and in the case of the Mayan’s ‘long count’ cycle, millennia by millennia.ĬHECK OUT: One of Archaeology’s Great Mysteries Nearly Solved as Scientists Piece Together 2,000-Year-old Astronomy Calculator Demi-equi-nox These days the equinox arrives on the 20th of March, and there it will stay for all of our lives, and our children’s lives, and most of their children’s lives. For those growing up with the equinox on the 21st, you won’t see that again until the 22nd century. Other factors influencing the timing of the equinoxes and solstices include variations in the length of a tropical year and in the orbital and daily rotational motion of the Earth, such as the “wobble” in the Earth's axis (precession).This is because we use the Gregorian calendar, and the placement of the equinox changes every other century. When this happens, the equinox and solstice dates shift back to the earlier date again. To realign the calendar with the tropical year, a leap day is introduced (nearly) every four years. Eventually, the accumulated lag becomes so large that it falls on the following date. This means that the timing of the equinoxes and solstices slowly drifts apart from the Gregorian calendar, and the solstice happens about 6 hours later each year. ![]() However, our planet takes about 365.242199 days to orbit the Sun. ![]() Today's Gregorian calendar has 365 days in a common year and 366 days in a leap year. The date of the equinoxes and solstices varies because a year in our calendar does not exactly match the length of the tropical year-the time it takes the Earth to complete an orbit around the Sun. Tropical years from 1900 to 2100 Why Does the Date Vary? It can vary by up to 30 minutes each year. Also known as a solar year, a tropical year is approximately 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds long. The March equinox can be used to measure a tropical year, the mean time it takes for the Earth to complete a full orbit around the Sun. The equinox in March is the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of fall south of the equator.Įquinox and solstice dates-years 1-2149 Measuring the Tropical Year The March and September equinoxes mark the beginning of the spring and autumn seasons on Earth, according to one definition. In reality, equinox days don’t have exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of dark.Įquilux: when day and night are (actually) equalĪstronomical terms & definitions The Equinoxes and the Seasons However, this is literal translation not entirely true. This is the reason it’s called an “equinox,” derived from Latin, meaning “equal night.” In other words, night and day are, in principle, the same length all over the world. On the days of the equinoxes, the Earth’s axis is perpendicular to the Sun’s rays, meaning that all regions on Earth receive about the same number of hours of sunlight. As the Earth travels toward the opposite side of its orbit, which it reaches in December, the Southern Hemisphere gradually receives more sunlight, and the subsolar point travels south.Įarth is tilted as it orbits the Sun, which is why equinoxes and solstices happen. In June, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and the subsolar point is north of the equator. The subsolar point moves north and south during the year because the Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.4° in relation to the ecliptic, an imaginary plane created by Earth’s path around the Sun. The June solstice marks the northernmost point of its journey. Having reached its southernmost point at the December solstice, it starts moving northward until it crosses the equator on the day of the March equinox. Sun rise/set and day length around this equinoxĭuring the course of a year, the subsolar point-the spot on the Earth's surface directly beneath the Sun-slowly moves along a north-south axis.This corresponds to Wednesday, 20 March 2024, 03:06 UTC.

It can be hard, as only certain paths will have no gaps in the dots, and of course, monsters can block you and cause you to turn back, and you’re going faster, so you have less time to plot the best path. (This is temporary, as new ones will eventually arrive, and meanwhile, the dot counter then starts over from 1). The goal is to get an unbroken chain of 256 dots, which then clears all the ghostmonsters from the board. (There is no other background sound like that in this one). It reminds me of the “siren” sound of the original game (and the “engine” sound of the Z80-based sequels) that increases in pitch (indicating the increased intensity of the chase) as you clear dots. When you’re in the 100’s and above, it really high (and you’re getting faster as well). The graphics are a sort of 2.5 D, with a 2D maze, yet flat 3D versions of the pixellated original 8 bit characters, with only one pixel of thickess, stand up vertically on edge in the maze.Įating dots is the original sound, and there is a counter of each dot eaten that appears in their place right as you eat them (similar to Pacman Championship Edition, which shows the number of points of each dot eaten), and you may notice, around an uninterrupted string of 50 consecutive dots, that the pitch of the dot eating sound is increasing. It reminds me so much of the “New Super Mario Bros” series’ Worlds 8 (Bowser’s lair), where on overworld levels, you are chased by a volcanic ash that comes from behind, and there are vertical volcano levels with rising lava. In the original game, it was not deadly, it just made it hard to find your way around). touch the first flashing characters that arrive, like a shallow surf), but once “drowned” in it, you die (in a garbled version of the regular Pac Man death. If you stay in the area too long, then the glitch appears across the whole bottom of the screen, and begins spreading upward, so you have to keep moving up. You start on what looks like a regular new maze, with a bottom, and tunnels on the side, and you can scroll upward, and it never ends. It takes the level 256 random character glitch, and turns it into an encroaching threat. (It’s actually by a third party, but looks as genuine as a Namco OEM game).įar better than the direction they had been taking the franchise, such as platformers. Many of the concepts from Pac-Man Adventures ended up being used in Pac-Man World 3, including Erwin.One of the best classic game sequels I’ve seen in the new Pacman 256 that came out for mobile devices, as part of the ongoing 35th anniversary celebration this year. ![]() ![]() Erwin was designed by famous animator Don Bluth, as part of a cancelled project known as Pac-Man Adventures.His squeaky voice and whiny attitude perhaps confirms this, it is likely that Erwin's mean spirited and bigoted nature is a result of an inferiority complex, due to his small stature. He is likely not a native of Pac-Man's home planet. What little hair he has on the back of his head is thin, black and triangular. Radiation symbols have been stamped onto his suit, due to the radioactive nature of his experiments. He wears a cyan-colored hazmat suit, and purple colored gloves and boots. He resembles the "Grey" alien variant commonly used in science fictions stories and accounts. However, the canonicity of this game is debatable.Įrwin is a short, grey-skinned man with a big head and yellow eyes. Not to mention the fact that villains from previous games are always never shown to have ever died following their final defeat, generally getting themselves imprisoned, seriously roughed up, or banished.Įrwin was later featured as a playable character in Pac-Man World Rally. While it seems likely that he might have perished in the explosion, Erwin's true fate has never been expressly stated in any form (Although his appearance in Pac-Man Rally may state that he survived the blast). yellow", and the last thing he ever said was, "MOTHERRRR!!!". ![]() The last thing he said to Pac-Man was, "I always. Pac-Man told him, "Always keep your feet on the ground, Erwin". After Pac-Man destroyed one of his death machines, Erwin was defeated by getting sucked into his own Spectral Syphon. In the game, he used a Spectral Syphon of his own design to suck in energy to destroy Pac-Land which is hundreds of miles away. I think however that some games were overpresented in the way of booklets. I could wish for more, and I do, but I think it is keeping just a little bit alive. The many ads in the booklet serves as clues too, but not to puzzle-solving but more as a waypoint of what is to be found in the sity. GTA3 presents the booklet as a parleur to the city you are visiting. Maybe not to the extent of the old times huge novels, that I must admit I used the same way as Scythe- good reading on long commutes or as bedtime reading, but only after playing the game. A few games, like Baldur's Gate for example, carried on that tradition into the 2000s but soon the big-box game was more or less eradicated by the DVD-case game and with that change, seemingly, the attempt to maintain an illusion was lost too.Īlso I think the booklet on GTA3 and its successors are doing something. The games of the mid-90s did their utmost to maintain the illusion that you actually are the person you are playing, and their manuals were party to that illusion, and they were largely huge. Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper, Civ2, Colonization, Master of Orion 2. Am I alone in missing these things? Was I alone in reading those manuals, becoming part of their imagination and getting lost in the world of these games? I think that the thinking now is that our graphics and whatnot have reached the stage where we no-longer need to sustain our disbelief or take on "roles" - but I don't think we are anywhere near that - the arid, cold, soulless, vacant world of Oblivion is surely testament to that. So an effort to create a theme and imaginary world for the game has by and large been traded for functionality and nothing else. This is a trend that has pervaded all areas of gaming - even the Civ series has offered progressively less historical information and has attempted to "flavour" its manual less and less - the long descriptions that traditionally accompanied the Wonders of the World have been replaced by very brief descriptions and its in-game function. Compare the paltry manual that accompanies Oblivion today - or even better - open up your 2004 copy of Neverwinter Nights and look at the spared down spell description and banal functionality of the instruction manual there. ![]() Are Colonization and Alpha Centuri no longer acceptable to the modern gamer because both are "too detailed", too esoteric? I remember the days when games would come in big boxes with big manuals that typically came in the form of a brief from your boss or perhaps a journal or an old tome penned for wannabe adventurers - the archtypal example is Baldur's Gate 2 - a map, a big thick book, a hotkey list. ![]() ![]() What has happened to the gaming world where a Colonization 2 or an Alpha Centuri 2 seems to be almost totally inconceivable and yet at the end of last year we got: Heroes of Might and Magic FIVE, Space Empires FIVE and Caeser FOUR - all totally pointless releases, all featuring in some shape or form streamlining of micromanagement in favour of flashier graphics and "macromanagement" - following the model set by Master of Orion 3. |
